The Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, as applicable, have been satisfied on the date of such request. No Revolving Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount outstanding which, together with such Lender’s participation interest in Swing Line Loans and Outstanding Letters of Credit, exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(b) Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Term Lenders severally agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower may borrow on the Closing Date, upon notice by Borrower to Agent given in accordance with §2.6, an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Commitment; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), shall not at any time exceed the aggregate Term Commitments of all Term Lenders or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.2(b). The Term Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Term Lender’s Term Commitment Percentage. Borrower’s request for the Term Loans hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, as applicable, have been satisfied on the date of such request. No Term Lender shall have any obligation to make Term Loans to Borrower after the Spin-off Effective Date or in a principal amount of more than the principal face amount of such Lender’s Term Commitment.

(c) Swing Line Loans. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, from time to time from the Closing Date to but excluding the fifth (5^th) day prior to the Maturity Date, Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time Outstanding up to, but not exceeding Swing Line Commitment; provided, that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the sum of (A) the Outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to the Swing Line Loan being requested), plus (B) the Outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.2(b). If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans Outstanding at such time exceeds the Swing Line Commitment in effect at such time, Borrower shall promptly pay Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Loans hereunder.

(ii) Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the rate of interest borne by Base Rate Loans. Interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of Swing Line Lender, subject to the participation rights of each Revolving Lender that has fully funded its participation interest in such Swing Line Loans pursuant to §2.1(c)(v). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swing Line Loans shall be payable by Borrower on the dates and in the manner provided in §3 with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as Swing Line Lender and Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swing Line Loan).

(iii) Each Swing Line Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 or such other minimum amounts agreed to by Swing Line Lender and Borrower from time to time. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swing Line Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which Swing Line Lender and Borrower may agree in writing) and in connection with any such prepayment, Borrower must give Swing Line Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date of such prepayment.

(iv) Borrower agrees to repay each Swing Line Loan within five (5) days after the date such Swing Line Loan was made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swing Line Loan may not be used to repay a Swing Line Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swing Line Loans on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as Swing Line Lender and Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swing Line Loan from Borrower, Swing Line Lender may, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Base Rate Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swing Line Loan, provided that the proposed advance of a Base Rate Loan meets all other requirements for such Advance in this Loan Agreement. The amount limitations of §2.6(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. Swing Line Lender shall give notice to Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) on the proposed date of such borrowing and Agent shall give prompt notice of such borrowing to the Revolving Lenders. No later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on such date, each

Revolving Lender will make available to Agent at the Agent’s Head Office for the account of Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender and, to the extent of such Base Rate Loan, such Revolving Lender’s participation in the Swing Line Loan so repaid shall be deemed to be funded by such Base Rate Loan. Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to Swing Line Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swing Line Loan.

(v) At the time each Swing Line Loan is made, each Revolving Lender shall automatically (and without any further notice or action) be deemed to have purchased from Swing Line Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in such Swing Line Loan. If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason, including without limitation, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in §12.1.(h) or §12.1.(i), upon notice from Agent or Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender in respect of such participation the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each outstanding Swing Line Loan. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by any Revolving Lender, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon demand therefor by Agent or Swing Line Lender, and until such time as such Revolving Lender makes the required payment, Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swing Line Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due such Revolving Lender hereunder, to Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Loans in the amount of the participation in Swing Line Loans that such Revolving Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

(vi) A Revolving Lender’s obligation to make payments in respect of a participation in a Swing Line Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have or claim against Agent, Swing Line Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in §12.1.(h) or §12.1.(i)) or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent to reduce by $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced in such manner to an amount less than $75,000,000 unless all Obligations are being repaid or prepaid and this Agreement is terminated) or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Revolving Commitments, whereupon the Revolving Commitments of Revolving Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Loans, Outstanding Swing Line Loans and Outstanding Letters of Credit would exceed

the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders as so terminated or reduced; and provided, further that the termination of the Revolving Commitments by Borrower as herein provided shall require Borrower to contemporaneously repay all Outstanding Term Loans, all accrued interest thereon and (as applicable) any prepayment fee required by §3.2(b), on the effective date of such termination. Promptly after receiving any notice from Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.5, Agent will notify Lenders of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the respective accounts of Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.4 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitment may be reinstated.

§2.6 Requests for Loans.

(a) Borrower shall give to Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto) of each Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan) requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Loan the proposed principal amount of such Loan, the Type of Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Loan and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain a statement that the conditions to borrowing set forth in §11 hereof have been satisfied. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, Agent shall notify each of Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower to accept the Loan requested from Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Subject to §2.1(c)(iv), each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

(b) Borrower shall give to Agent and Swing Line Lender written notice in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto) of each Swing Line Loan requested hereunder (a “Request for Swing Line Loan”) by 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the Business Day of the proposed borrowing of a Swing Line Loan. On the date of the requested Swing Line Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ §▇▇ for all borrowings, Swing Line Lender will make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by Borrower in its Request for Swing Line Loan not later than 3:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on such date. Each such Request for Swing Line Loan shall also contain a statement that the conditions to borrowing set forth in §11 hereof have been satisfied.

§2.7 Funds for Loans.

(a) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loans other than Swing Line Loans, each of Lenders will make available to Agent, at Agent’s Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon

receipt from each Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 (in the case of Loans to be made on the Closing Date only) and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, Agent will make available to Borrower the aggregate amount of such Loans made available to Agent by the Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of Borrower maintained at Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to Borrower the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided in §12.4.

(b) Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon Agent’s demand therefor, Agent will promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to Agent. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§2.8 Use of Proceeds.

Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely (i) to pay closing costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) to refinance existing Indebtedness of Forestar Group or Borrower owing to Temple-Inland; (iii) to fund Borrower’s working capital and general corporate needs which include, without limitation, the construction and sale of Lots, the acquisition and development of real estate and the making of other Investments and the making of Distributions, in each case as permitted by this Agreement; and (iv) for such other purposes as may be approved in writing from time to time by the Required Lenders.

§2.9 Increase in Commitments.

At any time prior to December 14, 2009, Agent may, at the request of Borrower, increase, from time to time, but not more than four (4) times in the aggregate, the total Revolving Commitments or the total Term Commitments, or both, by (i) admitting additional Lenders hereunder (each a “Subsequent Lender”), and/or (ii) increasing the Revolving Commitment of

(a) each Subsequent Lender shall meet the conditions for assignee under §18.1;

(b) if requested by the applicable Lender, Borrower executes new Revolving Loan Notes or Term Loan Notes, or both, as applicable, payable to the order of each Subsequent Lender, or a replacement Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note (or both, as applicable) payable to the order of each Increasing Lender;

(d) Borrower and Agent shall have executed modifications of the Security Documents and other Loan Documents to reflect the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the Term Loan Commitments (or both, as applicable) and Borrower shall have paid to Agent any and all documentary stamp tax, non-recurring intangible tax or other taxes imposed in connection with the recording of such modifications of the Security Documents or increase in the Revolving Loan amount or the Term Loan amount (or both, as applicable);

(e) the allocation of the increased Commitments by Borrower as between the Revolving Commitments and the Term Commitments shall be subject to Agent’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(f) after giving effect to the admission of any Subsequent Lender or the increase in the Revolving Commitment or the Term Commitment (or both, as the case may be) of any Increasing Lender, the sum of all Revolving Commitments and all Term Commitments and (without duplication) Outstanding Term Loans does not exceed $500,000,000;

(g) each increase in the Revolving Commitments or the Term Commitments (as applicable) shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000, or a greater integral multiple of $5,000,000;

(h) no admission of any Subsequent Lender shall increase the Revolving Commitments or the Term Commitments (or both, as applicable) of any existing Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(i) all of the representations and warranties of Borrower in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the effective date of the increase in the total Commitment (or if such representations and warranties by their terms relate solely to an earlier date, then as of such earlier date);

(j) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom;

(k) no Lender, including, but not limited to KeyBank, shall be an Increasing Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(l) no increase in the total Commitment will be implemented unless Subsequent Lenders or Increasing Lenders, or a combination thereof commit to fund each such increase in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(m) Borrower shall have executed such other modifications and documents and made such other deliveries as Agent may reasonably require and shall pay or reimburse Agent and Agent’s Special Counsel for all fees (including any fees specified in the Agreement Regarding Fees), expenses and costs in connection with the foregoing and Borrower shall also pay such Loan fees and placement fees, if any, as may be required for such increase in the Revolving Commitments or the Term Commitments (or both, as applicable).

After adding the Revolving Commitment or the Term Commitment (or both, as applicable) of any Increasing Lender or Subsequent Lender, Agent shall promptly provide each Lender and Borrower with a new Schedule 1.1 to this Agreement (and each Lender acknowledges that its Commitment Percentage under Schedule 1.1 and allocated portion of the Outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit on the one hand, or the Outstanding Term Loans on the other (or both, as applicable), will change in accordance with its pro rata share of the increased Revolving Commitments or Term Commitments (or both, as applicable). Unless and until the total Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders and/or Term Commitments of all Term Lenders have been increased in accordance with this §2.9, Borrower shall not be permitted any disbursement beyond the amount of the initial Commitment.

§2.10 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, Agent shall issue such Letters of Credit as Borrower may request upon the delivery of a Letter of Credit Request to Agent, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed $100,000,000, (iii) upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the amount of all Outstanding Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders, (iv) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, as applicable, shall have been satisfied, (v) upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the amount of all Outstanding Letters of Credit and Outstanding Loans shall not result in a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.2(b), (vi) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit, and (vii) the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed the Maturity Date. The foregoing requirements shall not limit the ability of Borrower to obtain Letters of Credit in face amounts that are not rounded to the nearest $1,000 or other amount. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement; provided that to the extent any of the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement are contrary to the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that, if and to the extent Agent agrees to reimburse or otherwise indemnify the issuer of any Prior Letter of Credit for draws thereunder or other obligations of a Loan Party arising in connection therewith, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation in such reimbursement or indemnification obligation of Agent in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of each such Prior Letter of Credit (if any).

The Outstanding amount under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Revolving Commitments as a Revolving Loan.

(b) Letter of Credit Requests. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted by Borrower to Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. Agent shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to whether such Letter of Credit is a Standby Letter of Credit or a Trade Letter of Credit, and (ii) a certification that the conditions to the issuance of such Letter of Credit set ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ §▇▇ hereof have been satisfied. Borrower shall further deliver to Agent such additional applications and documents as Agent reasonably may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Following the receipt of a Letter of Credit Request, Agent shall promptly notify each of the Revolving Lenders of the Letter of Credit Request. Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit, under §2.10(i).

(c) Agent Approval. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Agent if it reasonably approves of the Letter of Credit Request, shall issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents required in §2.10(b), or at such later date as Borrower may direct in writing. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion.

(d) Lender Participation. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Agent in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(e) Amounts Drawn Considered Loans. If and to the extent that any amounts are drawn upon any Letter of Credit, the amounts so drawn shall, unless reimbursed by Borrower on the date such draw is honored by Agent, from the date of payment thereof by Agent, be considered Revolving Loans for all purposes hereunder, bearing interest as provided in §2.3. All such Revolving Loans shall initially be Base Rate Loans. Revolving Lenders shall be required to make such Revolving Loans regardless of whether all of the conditions to disbursement set forth in §11 have been satisfied.

(f) Bankruptcy. If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit by Agent, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by Agent or a Lender, one of the events described in §12.1(g), (h) or (i) shall have occurred, each Lender will immediately transfer to Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Letters of Credit, such amount to be held by Agent as security for the payment of the Letters of Credit.

(g) Repayment to Lenders. Whenever at any time after Agent has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter Agent receives any payment on account thereof, then Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s

participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by Agent is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to Agent any portion thereof previously distributed by Agent to it.

(h) Funds for Draws. Upon the receipt by Agent of any draw or other presentation for payment of a Letter of Credit and the payment of any amount under a Letter of Credit, Agent shall, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, direct Revolving Lenders to fund to Agent in accordance with §2.7 on or before 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the next Business Day their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the amount so paid by Agent. The proceeds of such funding shall be paid to Agent to reimburse Agent for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit. The provisions of §2.7 shall apply to any Revolving Lender or Lenders failing or refusing to fund its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any such draw.

(i) Risks. The Obligations of the Loan Parties to Agent and Revolving Lenders under this Agreement in connection with the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the following circumstances: (i) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or Revolving Lenders (other than the defense of payment to Revolving Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any statement or any other documents presented to Agent under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (iv) any breach of any agreement between any Loan Party and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (v) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; and (vi) payment by Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit in any non-material respect; provided, that Borrower shall not be precluded from asserting any claim for damages suffered by any Loan Party to the extent caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it complied on its face with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(j) Non-Renewal; Cash Collateral. Agent may, at its option, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, elect not to renew any Letter of Credit by giving written notice of non-renewal to Borrower at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit. Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time while there exists any Event of Default, make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to all or any portion of the Outstanding Letters of Credit hereunder (including fee amounts due), and hold the proceeds thereof in an interest bearing account as collateral security for such Obligations (and such account shall be subject to Agent’s right to setoff against such amounts under §13 hereof), provided that Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of such action and the application of the proceeds thereof

and further provided that all interest earned on proceeds so held shall be applied as and when available to reduce any Obligations outstanding hereunder or, if there are no Obligations outstanding, such interest shall be paid over to Borrower.

(k) Subsequent Issuance. The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(l) Extended Letters of Credit; Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding the contrary provisions of §2.10(a), Letters of Credit may be issued with expiry dates later than the scheduled Maturity Date upon the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.10(l) (any such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Letter of Credit”). No Extended Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than one (1) year after the scheduled Maturity Date. From the date that is five (5) days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date and at all times thereafter when any Extended Letters of Credit are Outstanding, Borrower shall maintain cash collateral in a special purpose interest bearing collateral account in the name of Borrower, but subject to the sole dominion and control of Agent, in an amount not less than one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate Extended Letters of Credit then Outstanding.

§3. REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE LOANS

§3.1 Amortization; Stated Maturity.

(a) Term Loan Amortization. Commencing on January 1, 2010 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter through and including November 1, 2010, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of Term Lenders equal monthly installments, each in the amount of one-twelfth (1/12^th) of one percent (1%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans Outstanding on December 31, 2009, which amounts shall be applied against the then Outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans.

(b) Maturity Date. Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, the entire Outstanding principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

§3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Loans Exceed Commitments or Borrowing Base. If at any time the sum of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of the Loans (including Swing Line Loans) plus the amount of Outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the aggregate Commitments, or the aggregate Outstanding principal balance of the Loans (including Swing Line Loans) plus the amount of Outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the Borrowing Base, then Borrower shall pay within five (5) days of written demand from Agent the amount of such excess to Agent for the respective accounts of Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Revolving Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8; provided however that until such time as Borrower has paid such amount to Agent for the respective accounts of the appropriate Revolving Lenders pursuant to the preceding clause, Revolving Lenders shall have no obligation to make additional funds available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Prepayment Fee relating to Term Loan. Contemporaneously with each mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part, and from whatever source, of the Outstanding principal of the Term Loans prior to June 14, 2009, Borrower shall pay the applicable Prepayment Fee to Agent for the account of Term Lenders.

§3.3 Optional Prepayments.

Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, provided that if any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such payment shall be accompanied by the amount payable pursuant to §4.8. Borrower shall give Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of Loans, the principal amount of the Term Loans to be prepaid (if any), the principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be prepaid (if any), and the date on which such prepayment is to be made. Notice of prepayment, once given, shall be irrevocable, and such amount shall become due and payable on the specified prepayment date. Contemporaneously with each optional prepayment, in whole or in part, of the Outstanding principal of the Term Loans prior to June 14, 2009, Borrower shall pay the applicable Prepayment Fee to Agent for the account of Term Lenders.

§3.4 Partial Prepayments.

Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (unless the applicable Loan is being prepaid in full or unless the Loan is being prepaid in part pursuant to §5.3), and each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by Borrower, first to the principal of Revolving Loans or Term Loans (as applicable) that are Base Rate Loans, and then to the Revolving Loans or Term Loans (as applicable) that are LIBOR Rate Loans; provided, however, that no such partial prepayment shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to an amount that is less than $10,000,000. Each partial prepayment of Outstanding principal of the Term Loans shall be applied in inverse order of maturity.

§3.5 Effect of Prepayments.

Amounts of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans prepaid prior to the Maturity Date may be reborrowed as and to the extent provided in §2. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments shall be applied, (a) first to any fees or other charges then due and payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (other than amounts payable under any Hedge Agreements), (b) next to any Default Rate interest accrued and outstanding, (c) next to any interest accrued and outstanding on Swing Line Loans, (d) next to any interest accrued and outstanding on Base Rate Loans, (e) next to any interest accrued, outstanding, and payable on any LIBOR Rate Loans, (f) next to any Outstanding principal on any Swing Line Loans, (g) next to any Outstanding principal on any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, (h) next to any Outstanding principal on any Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans, (i) next to any Outstanding principal on any Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (j) next to any

Outstanding principal on any Term Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans. Amounts applied pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section shall be applied ratably and without preference or priority as between Revolving Loans and Term Loans.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS

§4.1 Conversion Options; Number of LIBOR Contracts.

(a) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of the outstanding Loans to a Loan of another Type and such Loan shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan; the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount of less than $2,000,000 and that the aggregate principal amount of each Loan shall be an integral multiple of $100,000. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take, to the extent it deems it necessary to do so, such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by Borrower.

(b) Any Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c) In the event that Borrower does not notify Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any Loan, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

(d) There shall be no more than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

§4.2 Certain Fees.

Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. All such fees shall be fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid.

§4.3 Letter of Credit Fees.

Borrower shall pay to Agent Agent’s customary issuance fee, not to exceed $400.00 per Letter of Credit, and a Letter of Credit Fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement. The Letter of Credit Fee with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be equal to three and one-half percent (3.5%) per annum on the average of the amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding for any given month. All Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month. Upon receipt of the Letter of Credit Fee, Agent shall deduct and retain one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the Outstanding Letters of Credit as a fee due to Agent and shall remit to each Revolving Lender a portion of the remaining Letter of Credit Fee equal to each such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the remaining Letter of Credit Fee.

§4.4 Funds for Payments.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Agent’s fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to Agent, for the respective accounts of Lenders and Agent, as the case may be, at Agent’s Office, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

(b) All payments by Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein (other than franchise taxes or taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of Agent or any Lender) unless Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower will pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders or (as the case may be) Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable Lenders or Agent to receive the same net amount which Lenders or Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Borrower. Borrower will deliver promptly to Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document.

(c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, if requested in writing by Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide Borrower with such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, indicates the withholding status of such Lender; provided that nothing herein (including without limitation the failure or inability to provide such form or statement) shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under §4.4(b). In the event that Borrower shall have delivered the certificates or vouchers

described above for any payments made by Borrower and such Lender receives a refund of any taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to §4.4(b), such Lender will pay to Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund, Borrower shall promptly repay to such Lender the amount of such refund.

§4.5 Computations.

All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, a 365/366-day year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the records of Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.

§4.6 Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate.

In the event that at any time Agent shall determine in the exercise of its good faith business judgment that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and Lenders) to Borrower and Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically become a Base Rate Loan at the end of the current Interest Period, and the obligations of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon Agent shall so notify Borrower and Lenders.

§4.7 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to Agent and Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Loans of another type to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans.

§4.8 Additional Interest.

If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, Borrower will pay to Agent upon demand for the account of Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, any amounts required to compensate Lenders for any losses, costs or expenses (but not

loss of profit) which may reasonably be incurred as a result of such payment or conversion, including, without limitation, an amount equal to daily interest for the unexpired portion of such Interest Period on the LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof so repaid or converted at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the interest rate calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan (excluding any spread over such LIBOR Rate) minus (b) the yield obtainable by Agent upon the purchase of debt securities customarily issued by the Treasury of the United States of America which have a maturity date most closely approximating the last day of such Interest Period (it being understood that the purchase of such securities shall not be required in order for such amounts to be payable and that a Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually obtained funds at the LIBOR Rate or to have actually reinvested such amount as described above).

§4.9 Additional Costs, Etc.

Subject to §4.4, if any present or future applicable law, or any amendment or modification of present applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and legally binding interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official with appropriate jurisdiction charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(a) subject any Lender or Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than franchise taxes and taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender or Agent), or

(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or Loans or Letters of Credit by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

(d) impose on any Lender or Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is

(i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to such Lender or Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, or

(iii) to require such Lender or Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or Agent from Borrower hereunder; then, and in each such case, Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, generally applied by such Lender or Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.9, to prepay the Loans of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.9 or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments in accordance with §18.8, provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment of the Loan all other costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment.

§4.10 Capital Adequacy.

If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy or any amendment or change in interpretation of any existing guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting for the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.10, to prepay the Loans of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.10 or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments in accordance with §18.8, provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment

of the Loan all other fees, costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment.

§4.11 Indemnity by Borrower.

Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Conversion Request, or (c) default by Borrower in making the payments or performing their obligations under §§4.8, 4.9, 4.10 or 4.12.

§4.12 Interest on Overdue Amounts; Late Charge.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, at the election of the Required Lenders, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable at such time (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if such rate shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, Borrower shall pay Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due. Such late charge is and shall be deemed to be a charge to compensate Agent and Lenders for administrative services and costs incurred in connection with the related delinquent payment and shall under no circumstances constitute or be deemed to be a charge for the use of money.

§4.13 Certificate.

A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation and calculation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or Agent to Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

§4.14 Limitation on Interest.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between Borrower and Lenders and Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an

amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This section shall control all agreements between Borrower and Lenders and Agent.

§5. COLLATERAL SECURITY; RELEASES

§5.1 Collateral.

The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected first priority lien or security title and security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Mortgaged Properties and certain personal property of Loan Parties related to the Mortgaged Properties, pursuant to the terms of the Security Deeds, (ii) a perfected first priority security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Leases pursuant to the Security Deeds and the Assignment of Leases and Rents, in the Mineral Rights Leases pursuant to the Assignment of Mineral Rights Leases, and in the Timber Purchase Agreement pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Timber Purchase Agreement, (iii) a perfected first priority security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Pledged Deposit Account and all monies, instruments and investments from time to time held therein, (iv) a perfected first priority pledge of and security interest in all issued and outstanding Equity Interests held by any Loan Party in another Loan Party or in any Joint Venture pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, provided that in the event a pledge of or security interest in such Equity Interests in any Joint Venture pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement is not permitted under the Organizational Documents of the applicable Joint Venture or pursuant to any other agreement, then such security interest shall be limited to an assignment of such Loan Party’s rights to any distributions made or to be made by such Joint Venture in favor of Agent for the benefit of Lenders pursuant to the Assignment of Rights to Joint Venture Distributions, such Equity Interests or rights shall not be included as Collateral, and (v) such additional collateral, if any, as the Loan Parties may agree to grant and Agent for the benefit of Lenders from time to time may accept as security for the Obligations.

§5.2 Appraisals; Evaluations; Adjusted Value.

(a) Agent on behalf of Lenders shall require evaluations of the High Value Timberland performed by MAI appraisers, selected and engaged by Agent, which will be ordered by Agent and reviewed and approved by Agent from time to time, each of said evaluations to cover a minimum of seventy-five percent (75%), by acreage, of the High Value Timberland (as selected by Agent) in order to determine the current High Value Timberland Amount. Such evaluations shall set forth the specific Appraised Value of the High Value Timberland. On an annual basis, Borrower shall cause the value of such properties to be re-evaluated. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of all such evaluations and re-evaluations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, however, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and regulatory requirements

of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall not require such evaluations more frequently than annually, Borrower shall not be required to pay for such evaluations more often than once in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

(b) Agent on behalf of Lenders shall require annual updates of the evaluation with respect to the Timberland performed by any third-party consultant selected and engaged by Agent, which will be ordered by Agent and reviewed and approved by Agent from time to time in order to determine the current Timberland Value, and Borrower shall pay to Agent on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of all such evaluation updates; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall not require such evaluation updates more frequently than annually, Borrower shall not be required to pay for such evaluation updates more often than once in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

(c) Agent on behalf of Lenders shall require “as is” Appraisals of the Raw Entitled Land and Entitled Land Under Development, in each case performed by MAI appraisers selected and engaged by Agent, which Appraisals will be ordered by Agent and reviewed and approved by Agent from time to time, and will cover a minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining Lot portfolio and seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining commercial acreage (both as selected by Agent) in order to determine the current Raw Entitled Land Value and the Entitled Land Under Development Value, as the case may be. On an annual basis, such properties shall be reappraised. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of all such Appraisals and reappraisals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, however, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall not require such Appraisals or reappraisals more frequently than annually, Borrower shall not be required to pay for such Appraisals or reappraisals more often than once in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

(d) In the event that Agent shall advise Borrower in writing, on the basis of any Appraisal (or update of an existing Appraisal or evaluation), that the Borrowing Base is insufficient to comply with the requirements of §9.2(b), then until the Borrowing Base is increased or the Outstanding principal amount of the Loans is reduced such that the Borrowing Base is in compliance with §9.2(b), Revolving Lenders and Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make advances under §2.1, Agent shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit under §2.10, and Borrower shall make the mandatory prepayment (if any) required under the provisions of §3.2(a).

(e) Borrower acknowledges that Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice to Borrower, make changes or adjustments to the value set forth in any Appraisal as may be required by Agent in the exercise of its good faith business judgment and after consultation with Borrower, and that Agent is not bound by the value set forth in any Appraisal performed pursuant to this Agreement and does not make any representations or warranties with respect to any such Appraisal. Borrower further agrees that Lenders and Agent shall have no liability as a

result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for statements contained in such Appraisal, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of such Appraisal from the fair value of such property that is the subject of such Appraisal given by the local tax assessor’s office, or Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.

§5.3 Release of Mortgaged Property.

Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.3), Agent shall release a Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, from the lien or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) Borrower shall deliver to Agent written notice of its desire to obtain such release no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such release is to be effected;

(b) if the Mortgaged Property to be released in connection with any sale or related series of sales contains more than 10,000 acres in the aggregate or is valued in excess of $30,000,000 in the aggregate (based on the higher of book value or the gross sale price for such transaction or related series of transactions), Borrower shall submit to Agent with such request a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to Agent under §6.4 or §7.4, adjusted in the best good faith estimate of Borrower to give effect to the proposed release, and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release;

(d) such release shall be in connection with a bona fide, arm’s-length sale of the property to be released to an unaffiliated third-party, or the transfer of such property to a Joint Venture as a capital contribution or sale, in either case for reasonably equivalent value or consideration, otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement;

(e) if the Mortgaged Property to be released in connection with any sale or related series of sales contains more than 10,000 acres in the aggregate or is valued in excess of $30,000,000 in the aggregate (based on the higher of book value or the gross sale price for such transaction or related series of transactions), Borrower shall submit to Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate, giving pro forma effect to the proposed transaction, demonstrating that immediately after giving effect to the proposed sale and release, Borrower will remain in compliance with the Borrowing Base requirements under this Agreement; and

(f) if only a portion of any Mortgaged Property is to be released, and the portion of the Mortgaged Property to be released in connection with any sale or related series of sales contains more than 10,000 acres in the aggregate or is valued in excess of $30,000,000 in the aggregate (based on the higher of book value or the gross sale price for such transaction or

related series of transactions), Borrower shall have provided Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent (in its sole discretion) that the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property will comply with all material Requirements, and have all necessary access, utility easements and other easements, rights-of-way or similar rights so that the applicable Loan Party’s ability to use the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property for its intended purpose will not be materially diminished or impaired.

Without limiting the generality of §7.12, Borrower and the other applicable Loan Parties agree to execute and deliver any and all additional documents, instruments or agreements as Agent may reasonably request from time to time in order to further evidence or perfect Agent’s security interest in the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in, to and under the additional Mineral Rights Leases.

(iii) such Real Estate constitutes either (A) Timberland, (B) High Value Timberland, (C) Raw Entitled Land, or (D) Entitled Land Under Development.

shall also be true as of the time of the addition of such Negative Pledge Property, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall only be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date); and

(c) Borrower shall pay or reimburse Agent and Agent’s Special Counsel for all fees, expenses and costs in connection with the foregoing.

Borrower shall cause its main operating account (the “Operating Account”) to be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement reasonably acceptable to Agent among Agent, the applicable Loan Party and the subject banking institution. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Agent may direct the Deposit Account Bank where such Operating Account is held to sweep all funds on deposit in the Operating Account to an account designated by Agent on a daily basis pursuant to the terms of the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement.

Upon withdrawal of Loan proceeds from the Advance Account, Borrower shall apply such Loan proceeds as permitted under §2.8.

(b) Funds Following an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may terminate Borrower’s rights to access or direct the application of funds on deposit in the Advance Account.

(c) Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Agent a perfected, first-in-priority security interest in and to all funds now or at any time hereafter held on deposit in the Advance Account to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, subject to Permitted Liens described in section 8.2(i), and Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such funds.

Within five (5) Business Days after the Spin-off Effective Date, Borrower shall furnish to Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of all insurance maintained by Borrower and each other Loan Party, and shall cause each issuer of an insurance policy to provide Agent with an endorsement (i) showing Agent as a loss payee with respect to each policy of property or casualty insurance and naming Agent as an additional insured with respect to each policy of liability insurance, (ii) providing that 30 days’ notice will be given to Agent prior to any cancellation of, or material reduction or change in coverage provided by or other material modification to such policy, and also a cross liability/severability endorsement.

Upon request by Borrower, Agent and Borrower may approve variations in the foregoing requirements from time to time.

(c) Blanket Policies. Prior to the Spin-off Effective Date, such insurance may be provided under blanket policies of insurance obtained by Temple-Inland, and from and after the Spin-off Effective Date, under blanket policies of insurance obtained by Forestar Group. Such blanket policies may cover additional locations and property of Borrower and other Persons not included in the Mortgaged Properties or the Negative Pledge Properties, provided that such blanket policies comply with all of the terms and provisions of this §7.7 and contain endorsements or clauses assuring that any claim recovery will not be less than that which a separate policy would provide, including, without limitation, a priority claim provision with respect to property insurance and an aggregate limits of insurance endorsement in the case of liability insurance.

The Loan Parties will not, and will not permit their respective Subsidiaries and will use good faith efforts to not permit any tenants of any of the Mortgaged Properties or the Negative Pledge Properties or any other Real Estate owned by a Loan Party to do any of the following: (a) use any Mortgaged Property or Negative Pledge Property as a facility for the handling,

processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances, except for quantities of Hazardous Substances used in the ordinary course of business and in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (b) cause or permit to be located on any Mortgaged Property or Negative Pledge Property any underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances except in material compliance with Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any Mortgaged Property, Negative Pledge Property or any other Real Estate owned by a Loan Party except as generated in the ordinary course of business and in material compliance with Environmental Laws, (d) cause a Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon or into the Mortgaged Property, the Negative Pledge Property or any other Real Estate owned by a Loan Party which give rise to liability under CERCLA or any other Environmental Law, or (e) transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Substances (except as required in the ordinary course of business and in material compliance with all Environmental Laws).

If any Loan Party causes any Release of Hazardous Substances in violation of Environmental Laws to occur, such Loan Party shall cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Mortgaged Property or the Negative Pledge Property in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.

At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing hereunder, at any time that Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a Release of Hazardous Substances may have occurred relating to any Mortgaged Property or Negative Pledge Property, Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders) obtain such assessments, including, without limitation, environmental assessments of such Mortgaged Property or such Negative Pledge Property prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of evaluating or confirming whether any Hazardous Substances have been Released by any Loan Party on such Mortgaged Property or such Negative Pledge Property, which Release will result in a Material Adverse Effect. Such assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Mortgaged Property or such Negative Pledge Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry ▇▇▇▇▇ and leaching areas, and the taking of soil or other samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary for a determination of whether such Release results in a Material Adverse Effect. All reasonable costs related to such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.

At any time after an Event of Default, Agent may, but shall never be obligated to, remove or cause the removal of any Hazardous Substances which are in violation of any Environmental Law from a Mortgaged Property or Negative Pledge Property (or if removal is prohibited by any Environmental Law or any other applicable law, physical restriction or other reason, take or cause the taking of such other action as is required to cause any Mortgaged Property or Negative Pledge Property to be in material compliance with any Environmental Law) if any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries fails to materially comply with its obligations hereunder with respect thereto; and Agent and its designees are hereby granted access to the Mortgaged Property and the Negative Pledge Property at any reasonable time or times, upon reasonable notice, to remove or cause such removal or to take or cause the taking of any such other action. All costs, including, without limitation, the reasonable costs incurred by Agent in taking the foregoing action, damages, liabilities, losses, claims, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which are incurred by Agent, as the result of any Loan Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of

this §8.6, shall be paid by Borrower or the other applicable Loan Party to Agent upon demand by Agent and shall be additional obligations secured by the Security Documents, except for costs resulting from or related to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(n) With respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred that reasonably could be expected to result in liability of any of any Loan Party to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,000,000 and such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

(o) A Change of Control shall occur without the prior written approval of all of Lenders (which consent may be withheld by Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion);

(p) Any Event of Default, as defined in any of the other Loan Documents, shall occur;

(q) Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming any Loan Party as debtor and Agent as secured party relating to the Collateral, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of any Loan Party without the prior written consent of Agent (except to the extent of a release of Collateral permitted by this Agreement); or any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming any Loan Party as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than Agent or Agent’s counsel (or by a Loan Party at Agent’s direction) without the prior written consent of Agent and Borrower or the affected other Loan Party fails to use its best efforts to cause the effect of such filing to be completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Borrower thereof; or

then, and in any such event, Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in writing to Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of notice from any of Lenders or Agent.

§12.2 Limitation of Cure Periods.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to “the continuance of a default” or “the continuance of an Event of Default” or any similar phrase shall not create or be deemed to create any right on the part of Borrower or any other party to cure any default following the expiration of any applicable grace or notice and cure period.

§12.3 Termination of Commitments.

If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans to Borrower, and Agent shall be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, pursuant to this Agreement. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to Borrower terminate the obligation to make Loans to Borrower and to issue Letters of Credit

hereunder. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve Borrower or any other Loan Party of their respective obligations to Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section shall limit or impair the terms of this Agreement (including §2.1) which provide that Revolving Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Loans upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default.

§12.4 Remedies.

(a) In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans and other Obligations pursuant to §12.1, Agent on behalf of Lenders may, and upon direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right. No remedy herein conferred upon Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of Lenders, Lenders acknowledge and agree that only Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Outstanding Letters of Credit shall, at the Required Lenders’ option, without demand or further notice to Borrower, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by Agent under the Letter of Credit and a Revolving Loan to Borrower from the Revolving Lenders in such amount to have been made and accepted, which Revolving Loan shall be immediately due and payable.

§12.5 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds.

In the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the assets of Borrower or any other Person liable with respect to the Obligations (including the Collateral), such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of, Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of

adequate indemnity to Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of Agent to such monies;

(b) Second, to all other Obligations in the following order: (i) first to the payment of any fees or charges (other than Letter of Credit fees and Facility Fees) outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (excluding any Hedge Agreements), (ii) next to any accrued and outstanding Default Rate interest, (iii) next to any accrued and outstanding interest under the Swing Line Loans, (iv) next to any accrued and outstanding Letter of Credit fees, Facility Fees, and interest on the Loans (other than interest on the Swing Line Loans), (v) next to any Outstanding principal on the Swing Line Loans, (vi) next to any Outstanding principal on the Loans other than Swing Line Loans, and (vii) last to any remaining Obligations (including with respect to any Hedge Agreement) in such order as the Required Lenders may determine; provided, however, that (A) in the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under §2.6, §2.7 or §2.10 and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other Obligations described in this subsection (b), and (B) Obligations owing to Revolving Lenders and Term Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, shall be made among such Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, without preference or priority of Revolving Loans over Term Loans, or vice versa; and provided, further, that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

§13. SETOFF

Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch of where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from Agent or any of Lenders to any of the Loan Parties and any securities or other property of the Loan Parties in the possession of Agent or any Lender may be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Loan Parties to such Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default, any Lender, including Agent with respect to the Advance Account, may, but shall not be obligated to freeze withdrawals from any account of the Loan Parties held by such Lender. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from any Loan Party or Loan Parties, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is

thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

§14. THE AGENT

§14.1 Authorization.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints KeyBank to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by Agent. The obligations of Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to create any agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§14.2 Employees and Agents.

Agent may exercise its rights and powers and execute any and all of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent and any such 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 Section shall apply to any such agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such 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 Agent. Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by Borrower.

§14.3 No Liability.

Neither Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to Lenders for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. 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) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have

been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably 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, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

§14.4 No Representations.

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, 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 Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

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 Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in §27 and §12.4) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Agent by any Loan Party or any Lender.

Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any other of the Loan Documents.

Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by any Loan Party or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of Borrower or any other Loan Party or the value of the Collateral or any other assets of such Persons.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

§14.5 Payments.

(a) A payment by Borrower to Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by Agent for the account of Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of Swing Line Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any such Swing Line Loan pursuant to §2.1(c), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

(b) If in the opinion of Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or (ii) to comply with the provisions of §13 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from Borrower, whether on account of

Outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-Delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes Agent to distribute such payments to the non-Delinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the non-Delinquent Lenders or as a result of other payments by the Delinquent Lenders to the non-Delinquent Lenders, Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

§14.6 Holders of Notes.

Subject to the terms of §18, Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

§14.7 Indemnity.

Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (to the extent of any losses, damages, costs and expenses for which Agent has not been reimbursed by Borrower as required by §▇▇ ▇▇ §▇▇), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

§14.8 Agent as Lender.

In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Revolving Commitment and Term Commitment and the Revolving Loans and Term Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as 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 Borrower, any of the other Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

§14.9 Resignation.

Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Lender or any other bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than

$500,000,000. Any such resignation shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor agent selected by the Required Lenders. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank whose debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P Corporation and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000, provided that if Agent shall notify Borrower and 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 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 Agent on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

§14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement.

In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, Agent may and shall, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) Lenders have provided to Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and exercise all or any other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have. The Required Lenders may direct Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that Agent reasonably believes Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11 Request for Agent Action.

Agent and Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of Borrower, (a) the Loan Parties may enter into Leases covering the Mortgaged Property and the Negative Pledge Property that may require the execution of a subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement, (b) the Mortgaged Property and the Negative Pledge Property may be

subject to a condemnation or other taking, (c) the Loan Parties may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Mortgaged Property or the Negative Pledge Property, record a subdivision plat, dedicate roads or utilities, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of Agent. In connection with the foregoing, Lenders hereby expressly authorize Agent to (a) execute and deliver with the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and any tenant, subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreements with respect to any lease upon such terms as Agent in its good faith reasonable judgment determines are appropriate (Agent in the exercise of its good faith reasonable judgment may agree to allow some or all of the casualty, condemnation, restoration or other provisions of the applicable lease to control over the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents), (b) execute releases of Liens of Mortgaged Property and Equity Interests in connection with dispositions permitted in this Agreement or in connection with any condemnation or other taking, (c) execute consents or subordinations in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in connection with any easements, agreements, plats, dedications or similar matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or Negative Pledge Property, or (d) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be desirable by Agent or any tenant necessary in the ordinary course of the Loan Parties’ respective businesses.

§14.12 Removal of Agent.

The Required Lenders may remove Agent from its capacity as agent in the event of Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Such removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor agent selected by the Required Lenders. Any successor Agent must satisfy the conditions set forth in §14.9. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Agent, and the removed Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (subject to Agent’s right to be indemnified as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that Agent shall remain liable to the extent provided herein or in the Loan Documents for its acts or omissions occurring prior to such removal or resignation.

§14.13 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against any of the Loan Parties, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and duty to file and pursue a joint proof of claim on behalf of all Lenders. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings.

§15. EXPENSES

Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable and documented costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by Agent or any of Lenders, including any recording, mortgage, documentary or intangibles taxes in connection with the Security Deeds and other Loan Documents, or other taxes payable on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than taxes based upon Agent’s or any Lender’s gross or net income, except that Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to indemnification for any and all amounts paid by them in respect of taxes based on income or

§16. INDEMNIFICATION

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and Lenders and each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who controls Agent or any Lender from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any leasing fees and any brokerage, finders or similar fees asserted against any Person indemnified under this §16 based upon any agreement, arrangement or action made or taken, or alleged to have been made or taken, by any of the Loan Parties, (b) any condition, use, operation or occupancy of a Mortgaged Property or other Collateral other than with respect to matters relating to such Mortgaged Property and/or the Collateral first occurring after Agent or its nominee acquires title to such Mortgaged Property by

the exercise of its foreclosure remedies or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, (c) any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or any actual or proposed use of a Letter of Credit by any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service ▇▇▇▇ or similar right of any of the Loan Parties comprised in the Collateral, (e) the Loan Parties’ entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to a Negative Pledge Property, a Mortgaged Property or the other Collateral, or (g) with respect to the Loan Parties, their respective Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures, and their respective properties and assets, including, without limitation, the Mortgaged Properties and the Negative Pledge Properties, the violation of any Environmental Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), other than with respect to matters relating to such Mortgaged Property and/or the Collateral first occurring after Agent or its nominee acquires title to such Mortgaged Property by the exercise of its foreclosure remedies or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated under this §16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If, and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. There shall be specifically excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses arising from disputes among Lenders with respect to the Loans or the Loan Documents. In the event that any such claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses involve both a dispute among Lenders and other matters covered by this indemnification provision, Agent shall make a reasonable good faith allocation of all losses, damages and expenses incurred between Lenders’ dispute and the other matters covered by this indemnification provision, which allocation by Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties hereto. All amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall constitute Obligations until paid in full by Borrower. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of Lenders hereunder.

§17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lenders and Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by Lenders of any of the Loans and the issuance by Agent of any Letter of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan

Documents remains outstanding or any Letter of Credit is Outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or Agent has any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit. The indemnification obligations of Borrower provided herein and the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender or Agent at any time by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties as to the matters contained in such certificate or other paper by any of the Loan Parties hereunder.

102

§18.2 Register.

Agent shall maintain a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitment Percentages, Revolving Commitment Percentages and Term Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

§18.3 New Notes.

Upon its receipt of an assignment executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note (if any) subject to such assignment, Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Borrower, upon Lender’s request and at Lender’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Revolving Loan Note, Term Loan Note or both, as the case may be, to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such assignee pursuant to such assignment and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note, Term Loan Note or both, as the case may be, to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes of the same category, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such assignment and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to Borrower.

§18.4 Participations.

Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder to Borrower, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (c) such participant shall have no direct rights against any of the Loan Parties except the rights granted to Lenders pursuant to §13, (d) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (e) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, any of the Loan Parties.

§18.5 Pledge by Lender.

Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to secure obligations of such Lender,

103

including without limitation, (a) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, to any Federal Home Loan Bank or to any institution within the Farm Credit System, and (b) for any Lender that is a fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders. In addition, any Lender may, with the consent of Agent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent’s sole discretion) pledge all or any portion of its interests and rights under the Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note or Notes) to a Person approved by Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no pledge permitted pursuant to this Section or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§18.6 No Assignment by Borrower.

Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of Lenders.

§18.7 Cooperation; Disclosure.

Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard lending practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder, subject to the provisions of §18.10. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, the Loan Parties shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require. In addition, the Loan Parties agree to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.

§18.8 Mandatory Assignment.

In the event (i) Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent or Required Lenders but is not approved by one or more of Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), (ii) Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to § 4.4 or 4.9, or any Lender gives

104

notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in § 4.10, or (iii) any Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment defaults in the obligation to make Revolving Loans hereunder (any such Lender, including a Non-Consenting Lender, shall hereafter be referred to as an “Affected Lender”) then, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, or, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above at any time after the occurrence of such event, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to Agent and the Affected Lender, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Loans and Commitments. Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by Agent). In the event that Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment, then Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Loans and Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and such Affected Lender’s original Note. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable prepayment fees which would be owed to such Affected Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Affected Lender’s Commitment.

§18.9 Co-Agents.

Agent may designate any Lender to be a “Co-Agent”, an “Arranger” or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Lender the rights or duties of Agent. Any such “Co-Agent” or “Arranger” shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights and obligations, if any, as a Lender.

§18.10 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of Agent and Lenders 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, advisors and other 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

105

as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or, with Borrower’s consent, any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of 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 Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or Joint Ventures or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries. 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.

§18.11 Withholding Tax.

(a) If any Lender is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent and Borrower:

(i) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed IRS Form W8-BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

(ii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two (2) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W8-ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

(iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax; and

(iv) in the case of any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Sections 871(b) or 881(c) of the Code, with respect to payments of “Portfolio Interest,” a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, and if the Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(b) of the Code) of Borrower, and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code).

106

Each such certificate and form shall be properly completed and duly executed by such Lender claiming complete exemption from or a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments by Borrower under the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W8-BEN, and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower and the other Loan Parties to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify Agent and Borrower of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W8-BEN as no longer valid.

(c) If any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W8-ECI with Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(d) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by §18.11(a) above are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(e) If the IRS or any other governmental authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent or Borrower did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or Borrower of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify Agent and Borrower fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent or Borrower as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent or Borrower under this §18.11, together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses). The obligation of Lenders under this subsection (e) shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

§20. RELATIONSHIP

Neither Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to any of the Loan Parties arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and the relationship between each Lender and Borrower is solely that of a lender and borrower, and between each Lender and any Guarantor is solely that of a lender and guarantor, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint venturers or any other relationship other than lender and borrower, or lender and guarantor (as the case may be). In addition, each of the Loan Parties agrees that notwithstanding any other relationship that KeyBank or any affiliate thereof may have with Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Parties, or any of them, under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding, such Loan Party will not challenge Lenders’ right to receive payment of the Obligations as a creditor of Borrower and the other Loan Parties on the grounds of the equitable subordination principles contained in §510 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et seq.), as from time to time amended, or any similar provision under any applicable law. The covenants contained in this §20 are a material consideration and inducement to Lenders to enter into the Agreement.

In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Agent (including the Agreement Regarding Fees) and any provisions of any commitment letter or similar letter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that expressly survive the Closing Date, 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 §10, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Agent and when 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 shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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

Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

EACH OF BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY LENDER OR AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR

111

OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH LENDER OR AGENT WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT AGENT AND THE LENDERS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS §25. EACH OF BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS §25 WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH OF BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AS ITS FREE, KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY ACT.

§26. DEALINGS WITH THE BORROWER

The Lenders and their affiliates may accept deposits from, extend credit to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower, or any of its affiliates regardless of the capacity of the Lender hereunder.

§27. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section:

(a) none of the following may occur without the written consent of each affected Lender:

(i) a decrease in the rate of interest on the Notes;

(ii) an increase in the amount of the Commitments of Lenders, except as provided in §2.9;

(iii) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon or fee payable under the Loan Documents (other than in connection with the imposition or rescission of the Default Rate);

(iv) a decrease in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder;

(v) an extension of the Maturity Date;

(vi) the release of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of the Collateral except as otherwise provided herein;

(vii) a change to this §27;

112

(viii) any postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on, or fees in respect of, the Loans;

(ix) any change in the manner of distribution of any payments to Lenders or Agent;

(x) an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders or of any requirement for consent by all of Lenders; or

(xi) an amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of Lenders or the Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action.

(b) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall:

(i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Revolving Commitment of any Lender;

(ii) increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments or the aggregate Term Loan Commitments over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of the Requisite Class Lenders (other than pursuant to and in accordance with §2.9);

(iii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swing Line Commitment or the Swing Line Loans without the consent of Swing Line Lender;

(iv) amend the definition of Requisite Class Lenders or Applicable Approval Percentage without the consent of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class; provided, subject to §27(b)(viii), additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of such Requisite Class Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Commitments, the Term Loans, the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Closing Date;

(v) alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Classes pursuant to §3.4 or §12.5 of this Agreement or pursuant to any other Loan Document without the unanimous consent of all Lenders of each Class which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof; provided, Requisite Class Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered;

113

(vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Revolving Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit as provided in §2.10(d) without the written consent of Agent;

(vii) waive any condition precedent to the initial Loans on the Closing Date, for which it is expressly provided in such Section that satisfaction of such condition is to be acceptable to or approved by Agent, without the consent of Agent, and in any such event it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any other Lender to such waiver; or

(viii) amend, modify, terminate or waive the amount or timing of payment of any fee payable to Agent for its own account, any provision of §14 as the same applies to Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of Agent, in each case without the consent of Agent;

(ix) any modification to require a Revolving Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for a Revolving Loan made by Borrower other than based on its applicable Required Commitment Percentage, or to require a Term Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for a Term Loan made by Borrower other than based on its applicable Term Commitment Percentage, without the unanimous consent of all Lenders of the Class affected by such modification Lenders; or

(x) any amendment which would disproportionately affect the obligation of Borrower or any Loan Party to make payment of the Revolving Loans or the Term Loans shall not be effective without the unanimous approval of all Lenders of the Class affected by such modification.

Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties agrees to enter into such modifications or amendments of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as reasonably may be requested by KeyBank or Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loan, provided that no such amendment or modification materially affects or increases any of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon Borrower or the other Loan Parties shall entitle Borrower or any other Loan Party to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. In the event any Lender fails to expressly grant or deny any consent, amendment or waiver sought under this Agreement within ten (10) days of a written request therefor submitted by Agent or Agent’s Special Counsel, such Lender shall be deemed to have granted to Agent an irrevocable proxy with respect to such specific matter.

§28. SEVERABILITY

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

114

§29. NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS

THE WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

§32. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§33. RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Agent and Lenders will refuse to make Loans in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Agent and Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, Agent and Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by Borrower of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.

115

§34. GUARANTY

§34.1 The Guaranty.

(a) Each of Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and each of the holders of the Obligations, as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the United States Bankruptcy Code and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of the United States from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”) or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

§34.2 Obligations Unconditional.

The obligations of Guarantors under §34.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this §34.2 that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this §34 until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or been terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

116

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, Agent or any of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

(e) any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest notice of acceptance of the guaranty given hereby and of Loans that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of amendments, waivers and supplements to the Loan Documents and other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that Agent or any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

§34.3 Reinstatement.

Neither Guarantors’ obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor, by reason of Borrower’s or any other Guarantor’s bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors under this §34 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Agent and each holder of Guaranteed Obligations on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and

117

disbursements of any law firm or other outside counsel incurred by the Agent) incurred by Agent or such holder of Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

§34.4 Certain Waivers.

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse against Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder or against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, (b) it will not assert any right to require the action first be taken against Borrower or any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement any other right, and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or from foreclosing on any security or collateral interests relating hereto or thereto, or from exercising any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if none of Borrower nor Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantors’ obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, it being the purpose and intent that Guarantors’ obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and unconditional under all circumstances.

§34.5 Remedies.

Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between Guarantors, on the one hand, and Agent and the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in §12.1 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in §12.1) for purposes of §34.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantors for purposes of §34.1. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that if the Guaranteed Obligations are secured pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

§34.6 Rights of Contribution.

Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in accordance with applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have

118

been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, and none of Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.

§34.7 Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guaranty.

The guarantee in this §34 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, and is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

§34.8 Special Provisions Applicable to Guarantors.

(a) Guarantors hereby agree, among themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this §34.8(a) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all such obligations. For purposes of this §34.8(a), (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” shall mean, in respect of any Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of the amount of proceeds of Loans advanced to it by Borrower that have not been repaid as of the date of determination, plus its Pro Rata Share of the remaining portion of such Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” shall mean, in respect of any Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of the amount of proceeds of Loans advanced to it by Borrower that have not been repaid as of the date of determination, plus its Pro Rata Share of the remaining portion of such Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of Borrower and all of Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors hereunder) of Borrower and all of Guarantors, all as of the Closing Date.

(b) Pursuant to §7.21 of this Agreement, each new wholly owned, direct or indirect Subsidiary of Borrower (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), and each Excluded Subsidiary that ceases to qualify as an Excluded Subsidiary, is required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering to Agent a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor). Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) by such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The

119

execution and delivery of any Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder.
