In the event that the Borrower has only one (1) Credit Rating, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by such Credit Rating.

Any amount of Loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Loans may be made at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period; provided that there shall be no more than eight Borrowings during such period. Any Available Commitment as of the end of the Commitment Period shall automatically terminate on such date.

(c) Each Borrowing shall each be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $100,000,000.

(d) The Loans may from time to time be (a) Euro-Currency Loans or (b) Base Rate Loans or (c) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 and Section 2.5.

Section 2.2. Notice of Borrowing. (a) With respect to any Borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (x) the Business Day prior to each Base Rate Borrowing, or in the case of the Closing Date, on the date of such Base Rate Borrowing and (y) the third (3rd) Euro-Currency Business Day before each Euro-Currency Borrowing, specifying:

Section 2.3. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans; Replacement of Defaulting Bank.

(a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent, notify each applicable Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, of the interest rate applicable thereto and the Interest Period(s) and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower, unless the Borrower shall pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.13.

(b) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing as indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, each Bank shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section 2.3) make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing in Federal funds immediately available in New York, New York, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.3 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on behalf of such Bank. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank shall not pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount after reasonable

attempts are made by the Administrative Agent to collect such amounts from such Bank, the Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amounts together with interest thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable thereto one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(c) shall be deemed to reduce the Commitment of any Bank or in any way affect the rights of the Borrower with respect to any Defaulting Bank or the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of any Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to fund its Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(d) If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank and for so long as such Bank remains a Defaulting Bank, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all its Available Commitments under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided further that nothing contained in this clause (d) shall affect the obligations due to such Defaulting Bank.

(e) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available each Borrowing to the Borrower in Federal funds immediately available in accordance with, and on the date set forth in, the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

In the event any Loans evidenced by such a Note are paid in full prior to the Maturity Date, any such Bank shall return such Note to the Borrower. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of any such Note, any existing Note payable to such Bank shall be returned to the Borrower and replaced or modified accordingly. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Note” of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

(b) Upon receipt of any Bank’s Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Such Bank shall record the date, amount, currency, type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower, with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the appropriate schedule appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of such Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each

Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

(c) The Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date.

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Euro-Currency Loans as of any Euro-Currency Business Day;

(ii) if such Loans are Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Base Rate Loans and/or elect to continue all or any portion of such Loans as Euro-Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period or additional Interest Periods, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, or on such other date designated by the Borrower in the Notice of Interest Rate Election provided the Borrower shall pay any losses pursuant to Section 2.13.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Euro-Currency Business Days prior to, but excluding, the effective date of the conversion or continuation selected in such notice.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank with Loans affected thereby the same day as it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof and the interest rates determined pursuant thereto and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Euro-Currency Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or Section 7.6, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by it from any Loan Party for the account of such Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid; and if such Bank shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to any equivalent provision under either New Credit Agreement and there are no such unsatisfied obligations hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may apply any such amounts received by it for the account of such Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under the equivalent provisions under either New Credit Agreement (or, in the event the institution serving as Administrative Agent hereunder is not, at such time, the same institution serving as administrative agent under such New Credit Agreement, turn over such amounts to the applicable administrative agent under such New Credit Agreement to be applied for such purposes).

Section 2.17. Collateral. (a) The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral. The Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Collateral in inverse order of the ranking of such Collateral on the Pledged Collateral List (it being understood that any asset so withdrawn shall be automatically included in the Listed Eligible Assets as the highest ranked asset (and the list shall be adjusted accordingly)) so long as, both immediately before and after giving effect to such withdrawal, (i) no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or shall result therefrom) and (ii) except for

any such withdrawal which the Borrower reasonably determines is necessary for compliance with any covenant applicable under the terms of any Indebtedness of the Borrower as in effect on the Closing Date relating to the maintenance of “Total Unencumbered Assets” (or any similar concept), the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at the time of such withdrawal is at least 1.25 to 1.00. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 2.17, Non-Performing Loan Assets and Other Real Estate Owned Assets that are disregarded in calculating the aggregate Borrowing Base Value as provided in the definition of “Borrowing Base Value” may, so long as no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or shall result therefrom), be withdrawn, at the option of the Borrower, to the extent of any amount so disregarded; provided that at the time of such withdrawal of any such assets, the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rank such assets as Listed Eligible Assets. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 2.17, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Collateral in connection with payment or prepayment of such Collateral and (y) the Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw such Collateral in connection with sales to third parties or a monetization (that is not a payment or prepayment) (any such monetization or sale, a “Third Party Sale”) provided that in connection with any such Third Party Sale and after giving effect to such Third Party Sale and the prior addition (a “Collateral Addition”) of any replacement Collateral (which replacement Collateral shall comprise the highest ranked Listed Eligible Assets immediately prior to such replacement and the lowest ranked Collateral on the Pledged Collateral List immediately following such replacement), either (I) no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (II) a Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but such Third Party Sale is consummated pursuant to a binding commitment entered into at a time that no Material Default or Event of Default had occurred and was continuing or would have resulted therefrom (it being understood that the proceeds of any such transaction described in clause (x) or (y) above shall be paid into the accounts established pursuant to Section 5.8). At such time as any Listed Eligible Assets are required to be pledged as Collateral in order to comply with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall (i) cause a sufficient amount of the highest ranked Listed Eligible Assets to be transferred to a Collateral SPV and (ii) take any other actions as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request for the purposes of fully perfecting or renewing the rights and security interests of the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Banks, with respect to the Collateral.

In addition to Collateral withdrawals otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, promissory notes and related transfer documents, if any, constituting part of any Collateral (and any related collateral) if requested by the Borrower at any time prior to the commencement of a Foreclosure (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) in respect thereof, shall be released by the Collateral Trustee to the custody of the Borrower, the applicable Grantor or its agents in escrow pending any enforcement action, exercise of rights or other customary actions in lieu of enforcement or for the purpose of correction of defects, if any, in each case in respect of any such promissory notes and related collateral. It is understood and agreed that any Collateral released pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall remain Collateral except in connection with a withdrawal otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Beginning on October 15, 2009 and on each April 15th and October 15th thereafter (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day), the Joint Lead Arrangers shall (i) in consultation with Barclays Bank PLC, Wachovia Bank, National

Association and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (in each case so long as it shall be a Bank under this Agreement or either of the New Credit Agreements) (each, a “Consulting Bank”) undertake a review to determine if any re-ranking of the Listed Eligible Assets and/or the Pledged Collateral List is appropriate, and (ii) if any such re-ranking is appropriate, undertake such re-ranking, in their sole and absolute discretion, in consultation with the Consulting Banks. In connection with any such re-ranking, the Borrower shall cooperate with the Joint Lead Arrangers in any diligence, including providing information related to the Collateral and the Listed Eligible Assets, reasonably requested by the Joint Lead Arrangers for purposes of such re-ranking. Each inclusion of assets in the Collateral shall be in the order of the then-current ranking of Listed Eligible Assets and, following inclusion, such assets shall constitute the lowest ranked Collateral on the Pledged Collateral List. Any increase in the funding of any asset included in the Collateral or Listed Eligible Assets shall be considered part of such asset and shall be included in the Borrowing Base Value thereof.

(c) Any newly originated or acquired assets or assets that become available that were previously pledged or mortgaged as collateral in connection with the DB Master Repurchase Agreement or the GE Credit Tenant Lease Facility that qualify as Eligible Assets shall be automatically included in the Listed Eligible Assets (and the Joint Lead Arrangers may re-rank the Listed Eligible Assets in connection therewith, in consultation with the Consulting Banks). Any Fremont Asset that qualifies as an Eligible Asset, immediately as of the time it is no longer subject to the Fremont Participation Agreement, shall be automatically included in the Listed Eligible Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at the time any Fremont Assets are added to Listed Eligible Assets and once the Joint Lead Arrangers have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to rank such assets, in consultation with the Consulting Banks in a special one-time reranking of Listed Eligible Assets (the “Special Fremont Reranking”), the Joint Lead Arrangers may effect substitutions of the Collateral with any Listed Eligible Assets.

Section 2.18. Mortgages. The Borrower shall cause the applicable Pledged Collateral LLCs to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee, not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Mortgages with respect to real properties that constitute Credit Tenant Lease Assets owned by such Pledged Collateral LLCs comprising not less than 50% of the Borrowing Base Value of all Mortgage Eligible Assets; provided that (i) Mortgages shall not be required to be delivered with respect to any Mortgage-Exempt Asset, (ii) the Mortgaged Properties, at any time, shall be comprised of the highest ranked Mortgage-Eligible Assets from the Pledged Collateral List in effect at the time of the delivery of the Mortgage in respect of each Mortgaged Property (it being understood that no Mortgage will be required to be delivered solely because of a re-ranking of the Listed Eligible Assets and/or the Pledged Collateral List), and (iii) each Mortgage required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall secure 50% of the undepreciated book value of the applicable Credit Tenant Lease Asset (reflecting any impairment taken by the applicable Collateral LLC but without adding back any depreciation before the most recent such impairment) at the time such Mortgage is entered in to. Following the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause Mortgages in compliance with this Section 2.18 to be delivered as necessary so that at all times the Mortgaged Properties shall comprise not less than 50% of the Borrowing Base Value of all Mortgage-Eligible Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18, neither the Borrower nor any Grantor shall be required to deliver environmental reports, third-party reports, appraisals, surveys, title insurance

policies, tract searches or legal opinions in respect of any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage thereon.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks which is or may become a party to this Agreement to make the Loans, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and, in accordance with Section 3.2(e) hereof, as of each Borrowing. Such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans.

Section 4.1. Existence and Power. Each of the Loan Parties is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized or incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and has all powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2. Power and Authority. Each of the Loan Parties has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action, if any, to authorize the execution and delivery on its behalf and its performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document (or with respect to any Mortgage, will duly execute and deliver at the time such Mortgage is required to be executed and delivered in accordance with Section 2.18) to which it is a party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each such Loan Document constitutes (or, upon execution and delivery thereof, will constitute) its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 4.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by or on behalf of any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by any such Loan Party with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, (i) will materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will materially conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than Liens created under the Collateral Documents) upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower (or any partnership of which the Borrower is a partner) or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any

of its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements which the lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a material default by any Loan Party under any organizational document of any Person in which such Loan Party has an interest, or cause a material default under such Person’s agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of which conflict, contravention, breach or default under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) would (x) have a Material Adverse Effect (provided, however, that for purposes of determining whether the consequences of a conflict, contravention, breach or default under clause (ii) of this Section 4.3 would have a Material Adverse Effect, clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall be modified to read as follows: “(ii) the ability of the Administrative Agent or the Banks to enforce the Loan Documents in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Banks thereunder”), or (y) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

Section 4.4. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP fairly presents, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year.

(b) Since December 31, 2008, (i) except as may have been disclosed in writing to the Banks prior to the Closing Date, nothing has occurred having a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) except (x) as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b) and (y) for the incurrence of Loans hereunder and loans under the Existing Credit Agreements and the New Credit Agreements, in each case on the Closing Date, the Loan Parties have not incurred any material Indebtedness or guaranteed any Indebtedness on or before the Closing Date.

Section 4.5. Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, (i) the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or (iii) any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could, individually, or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 4.6. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(a) attached hereto, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is a member of or has entered into, maintained, contributed to, or been required to contribute to, or may incur any liability with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan. In the event that at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall become a member of any other material Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the Borrower promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof (and from and after such notice, Schedule 4.6(a) shall be deemed modified thereby).

(b) No assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party constitute “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including, but not limited to, 29

C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. In addition to the prohibitions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, the Borrower covenants and agrees that the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party to, use any “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3101) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code to repay or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations.

Section 4.7. Environmental. (a) The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including, without limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) neither the Borrower nor any Guarantors has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any Guarantors (the “Properties”) or the business operated by the Borrower or any Guarantor (the “Business”) that is not fully and finally resolved, (ii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any Guarantor is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Business; and (iii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

Section 4.8. Taxes. The Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower, or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except (i) such taxes, if any, as are reserved against in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (iii) such tax returns or such taxes, the failure to file

when due or to make payment when due and payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

Section 4.9. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such information represents the Borrower’s expectations regarding future performance, based upon historical information and reasonable assumptions, it being understood, however, that actual results may differ from the projected results described in the financial projections. The Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent, in writing any and all facts which have or may have (to the extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10. Solvency. On the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the New Credit Agreements occurring on the Closing Date, the Borrower and each other Loan Party, taken as a whole, will be Solvent.

Section 4.11. Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrower only in accordance with the provisions hereof. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of regulations T, U, or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

Section 4.12. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that have already been duly made or obtained and remain in full force and effect or those which, if not made or obtained, would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

Section 4.13. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower, any other Loan Party nor any Consolidated Subsidiary is (x) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (y) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

Section 4.14. Principal Offices. As of the Closing Date, the principal office, chief executive office and principal place of business of each Loan Party is 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000.

Section 4.15. REIT Status. As of the date hereof, the Borrower is qualified as a REIT.

Section 4.16. Patents, Trademarks, etc. The Borrower and each other Loan Party has obtained and holds in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, copyrights and other such rights, free from burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the operation of its business as presently conducted, the impairment of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.17. Judgments. As of the Closing Date, there are no final, non-appealable judgments or decrees in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Consolidated Subsidiary or, to the extent such judgment would be recourse to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Consolidated Subsidiary, any other Person (other than, in each case, judgments as to which, and only to the extent, a reputable insurance company has acknowledged coverage of such claim in writing or which have been paid or stayed).

Section 4.18. No Default. No Event of Default or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, Default exists under or with respect to any Loan Document and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is in default in any material respect beyond any applicable grace period under or with respect to any other material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound in any respect, the existence of which default is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.19. Licenses, etc. Each of the Loan Parties has obtained and does hold in full force and effect, all franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, accreditation, easements, rights of way and other consents and approvals which are necessary for the operation of its businesses as presently conducted, the absence of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.20. Compliance with Law. To the Borrower’s knowledge, each Loan Party and each of its assets are in compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, judgments, writs and decrees, the failure to comply with which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.21. No Burdensome Restrictions.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENTS; CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO THE BANKS

Section 7.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Section 7.8 hereof, the provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the

Administrative Agent, the other Agents and the Banks, and the Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Banks and shall not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents.

Section 7.3. Action by Agents. The obligations of each of the Agents hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Agents shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. The duties of each Agent shall be administrative in nature. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, Section 7.5 and Section 7.6, each Agent shall administer the Loans in the same manner as each administers its own loans.

Section 7.4. Consultation with Experts. As between any Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, such Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.5. Liability of Agents. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent, or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan

Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

Section 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Available Commitment and Loans outstanding, indemnify the Agents and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with its duties as Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that any Agent shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, such Agent shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. Each Agent shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor.

Section 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.8. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be the Administrative Agent, who shall act until the Required Banks shall appoint an Administrative Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by Required Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent, pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s

resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent. For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the Banks (excluding for such determination the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Bank), the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from the Administrative Agent (the “Bank Reply Period”). With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Banks, or all the Banks or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Banks and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination of the Required Banks or all the Banks, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Currency Borrowing the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks determine in good faith that deposits in Dollars are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period or that the Euro-Currency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Banks or the Required Banks, as the case may be, of making, funding or maintaining such Euro-Currency Borrowing for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make, continue, or convert Loans into, Euro-Currency Loans in Dollars shall be suspended. In such event, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2nd) Euro-Currency Business Day before, but excluding, the date of any Euro-Currency Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.2. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Currency Loans in a particular currency, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of the event described above to make Euro-Currency Loans in such currency, shall be suspended. With respect to Euro-Currency Loans, before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise commercially disadvantageous to such Bank.

If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any of its Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Loans and/or Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans and/or Commitments, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts due to such Bank are concurrently therewith paid in full to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Loans and/or Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees and other amounts due hereunder, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitments shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.9(c).

Section 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage)), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the date hereof affecting such Bank’s Euro-Currency Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Currency Loans, and the result of any of the

foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Currency Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Euro-Currency Loans, by an amount reasonable determined by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the Euro-Currency Loans made by such Bank hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

(b) If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify the Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the

Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.9(c).

Section 8.4. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or the Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction or by the United States, except to the extent that such connection would not have arisen but for entering into the transactions contemplated hereby (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) In the event that Non-Excluded Taxes not imposed on the Closing Date are imposed, or Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on the Closing Date increase, the applicable Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such event in writing within a reasonable period following receipt of knowledge thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify the Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the Borrower’s liability for such

additional Non-Excluded Taxes incurred by such Bank as a result of such event (including payment of a make whole amount under Section 8.4(a)(i)) shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the Borrower of the occurrence of such event.

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and, so long as such Bank or the Administrative Agent has promptly paid any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, any liability for penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(e) Each Bank or the Administrative Agent that is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Borrower with two further copies of any such form on or before the date any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered to the Borrower. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as applicable to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide the Borrower with two further copies of any such form on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower. A Bank that provides copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and that is legally entitled to claim the portfolio interest exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall further provide the Borrower with, together with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a written confirmation of its entitlement to such exemption. To the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, a Bank shall properly claim that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of, or eliminates, withholding tax on payments of interest hereunder. A Bank that is not a United States person and that grants a participating interest in a Loan or Commitment to any other person shall provide, in addition to its own forms specified above, the Borrower with two duly completed copies of the Internal Revenue Service form applicable to such other person, each under the cover of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and a withholding statement prepared in the manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms and/or certificates that it is legally entitled to provide

evidencing such participant’s entitlement to any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of U.S. withholding tax, and shall provide the Borrower with two further copies of any such forms and statements on or before the date any such forms or statements expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or statement previously delivered to the Borrower. If a Bank fails to timely and properly provide or update such forms or statements or if the form or statement provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, then backup withholding or withholding tax resulting from the foregoing shall be considered excluded from “Non-Excluded Taxes” as defined in Section 8.4(a).

(f) Upon reasonable demand by, and at the expense of, the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower, or to such government or taxing authority as the Borrower may reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow the Borrower to make a payment to or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower making such demand and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification.

(g) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to (and to the extent required by) Section 8.4(e) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(d) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes so long as the Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof.

(h) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(i) If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 or the obligation of such Bank of make Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, in any such case, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of

one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.9(c).

Section 8.5. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Currency Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 with respect to its Euro-Currency Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Euro-Currency Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank to the Borrower as Euro-Currency Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans; and

(b) after each of its Euro-Currency Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Currency Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead; and

(c) the Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by Section 2.13 with respect to such Euro-Currency Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.

Section 9.4. Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans made by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans made by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it

may have to any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Commitment or a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank under this Section 9.4.

Section 9.5. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document in connection with the addition or substitution of Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case, which amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Bank, (B) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall, unless signed by each Bank directly affected thereby, (i) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (ii) postpone, whether through forbearance or otherwise, the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Banks” or “Super-Majority Banks” or otherwise change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, (iv) release any Guarantor under the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantees or this Agreement) or release any Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Collateral Documents or this Agreement), (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.10, (vi) amend, modify or waive the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or any other provision that provides for the ratable or pro rata nature of disbursements by or payments to Banks; provided that only the consent of the Required Banks shall be necessary for any such amendment, modification or waiver of the minimum Discount referred to in Section 2.12, (vii) modify the provisions of this Section 9.5 or (viii) increase, extend or restate the Commitment of any Bank or subject any Bank to any additional obligation and (C) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall, unless signed by the Super-Majority Banks, (i) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 5.17, (ii) amend, modify or waive the definitions of “Borrowing Base Value”, “Collateral”, “Coverage Ratio”, “Coverage Test” or any component definition of any of the foregoing if such amendment, modification or waiver is intended to have the effect of making more credit available or to reduce the collateral coverage therefor, (iii) amend, modify or waive the definition of “Principal Collateral Payment Event” or any component definition thereof, (iv) approve the incurrence of any security interests senior to, or pari passu with, the Liens securing the Obligations hereunder or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 of the Collateral Trust Agreement or Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, in each case in any

manner adverse to the Banks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Bank and (y) the interest rate or fees due to such Defaulting Bank shall not be reduced (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Bank shall be excluded for purposes of making a determination of Required Banks pursuant to this Section 9.5).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Bank to enter into any amendment to or modification of the Collateral Trust Agreement in connection with the issuance of any Second Priority Exchange Notes or Junior Priority Secured Exchange Notes solely to the extent necessary to effect such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, in connection with any such issuance expressly permitted hereunder (including any such amendment contemplated by Section 6.3(c) or (d) of the Collateral Trust Agreement), so long as such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the rights of any Bank.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Bank, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Bank. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.5 shall be binding upon each Bank at the time outstanding, each future Bank and, if signed by a Loan Party, on such Loan Party.

Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Banks and the Administrative Agent and (ii) a Bank may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as permitted in subsection (b) and (c) of this Section 9.6.

(b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time, grant to a then existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof, one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions or trusts (a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount (also a “Participant”), participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and

directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 9.5(a)(B) without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest.

(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to a Qualified Institution (in each case, an “Assignee”) (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 thereafter (or any lesser amount in the case of assignments to an existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof or in the case of an assignment of a Bank’s entire Commitment) and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any amount, all or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and, in either case, such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to a Transfer Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank; provided, that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such assignment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided further that if an Assignee is an Affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank or Affiliate thereof immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent shall be required from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested or required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee upon the return to the Borrower of the old Note, if any, marked “cancelled”. In connection with any such assignment (other than an assignment by a Bank to an affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4. Any assignment made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be invalidated by any subsequent cure of such Event of Default.

(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3or Section 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Borrower’s prior written consent or (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, Section 8.3or Section 8.4 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) No Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to further assign less than all of such rights and obligations. No Participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.

(g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Bank shall be permitted to enter into an assignment of, or sell a participation interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in such Bank holding a Commitment without participants of less than $5,000,000 unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction of the aggregate Commitments; provided, however, that no Bank shall be prohibited from assigning its entire Commitment so long as such assignment is otherwise permitted under this Section 9.6.

(h) The Administrative Agent shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a register of the names, addresses and contact information of the Banks and each of their assignees, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and interest owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.

Section 9.7. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment Currency. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW).

(b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case, which are located in New York County, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. The Borrower irrevocably consents, for itself, to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth below its signature hereto. The Borrower hereby, for itself, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action

or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

(c) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(d) The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Borrower to make payments in any currency of the principal of and interest on the Loans of the Borrower and any other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 9.7(c)), in any currency other than the relevant currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery), (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.

Section 9.8. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).

Section 9.9. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.10. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans hereunder.

Section 9.11. Domicile of Loans. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any domestic or foreign branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank.

Section 9.12. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person acting by or through the Borrower against the Administrative Agent, any Syndication Agent or any Bank or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of them for any punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 9.13. Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are fully recourse to the Borrower and each Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be had against any officer, director, shareholder or employee of the Borrower or any Guarantor except in the event of fraud or misappropriation of funds on the part of such officer, director, shareholder or employee.

Section 9.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Banks understands that some of the information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be received by it prior to the time that such information shall have been made public, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Banks hereby agrees that it will keep all Information (as defined below) received by it confidential except that the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and each Bank shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) only to such of its officers, directors, employees, agents, auditors and buyers as need to know such information in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and who will be advised of the confidential nature of such Information; (ii) to any other party to this Agreement; (iii) to a proposed Assignee or Participant in accordance with Section 9.6 hereof or to a counterparty or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations hereunder, provided such Person agrees in writing to keep such Information confidential on terms substantially similar to this Section 9.14; (iv) to the extent required by applicable law and regulations or by any subpoena or other legal process; (v) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority or other regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization; (vi) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement; (vii) to the extent the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure or (viii) in connection with any legal or other enforcement proceeding in connection with any Loan Document or any of the transaction contemplated thereby. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information

received from the Borrower or its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, auditors, lawyers and Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including Investment Affiliates) or any of their respective businesses other than information that is generally available to the public. In the event of any required disclosure of Information, any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as provided in this Section 9.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower as promptly as practicable of the circumstances and the Information required to be disclosed to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

Section 9.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 9.16. Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Banks, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Banks or among the Borrower and the Banks.

Section 9.17. Releases of Guarantees and Liens

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Bank (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Bank except as expressly required by Section 9.5) to take any action requested by the Borrower or any Guarantor having the effect of releasing any Collateral or any Guarantor from its guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction permitted by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 9.5 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, and the Collateral Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Collateral Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.
