CREDIT AGREEMENT

Page 33

(a) Loan Advances. During the Commitment Period, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit advances (each an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”) to the Borrower Representative on any Business Day; provided that after giving effect to any such Advance, (i) with regard to the Lenders collectively, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations shall not exceed the lesser of (x) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), (the “Aggregate Committed Amount”) and (y) the Borrowing Base Amount for such date and (ii) with regard to each Lender individually, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Obligations shall not exceed its respective Committed Amount. The Loan may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) Increase in Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative shall have the one-time right, to be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the date that is two (2) years following the Closing Date or (ii) the exercise of its option to decrease the Aggregate Committed Amount under Section 2.01(c) below, cause an increase in the Aggregate Committed Amount by up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (to an aggregate amount not more than One Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($120,000,000)); provided that such increase shall be conditioned and effective upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) the Borrowers shall obtain commitments for the amount of the increase from existing Lenders or other commercial banks or financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which other commercial banks and financial institutions shall join in this Credit Agreement as Lenders by a Lender Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto or other arrangement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that in no case shall any Lender be required to increase its Commitment without its written consent);

(ii) if any Advances are outstanding at the time of any such increase, the Borrowers shall make such payments and adjustments on the Advances (including payment of any break-funding amounts owing under Section 3.05) as may be necessary to give effect to the revised commitment percentages and commitment amounts;

(iii) the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the following fees: (1) for payment to each Lender making such increased commitment, a commitment fee equal to one percent (1%) of the increase to the Aggregate Committed Amount of such Lender and (2) for payment to Administrative Agent for its own account, an arrangement fee equal to one-half of one percent (.5%) times the amount of the increase to the Aggregate Committed Amount.

(iv) the Borrowers shall have executed any new or amended and restated Notes (to the extent requested by the Lenders) to reflect the revised commitment amounts; and

(v) the conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied.

In connection with any such increase in the Commitments, Schedule 2.01 shall be revised to reflect the modified Commitments and Commitment Percentages of the Lenders, and the

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 34

Borrowers shall provide supporting corporate resolutions, legal opinions, promissory notes and other items as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection therewith.

(c) Reduction of Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative shall have the one-time right, at any time prior to the date that is two (2) years following the Closing Date, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce the Aggregate Committed Amount. Once decreased, the Aggregate Committed Amount may no longer be increased under Section 2.01(b). Any such decrease shall be conditioned and effective upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) any such notice thereof must be received by 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of reduction or termination; and

(ii) the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the Obligations then outstanding. The Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the Lenders of any such reduction in Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Commitment Percentage thereof. All commitment or other fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination;

In connection with any such decrease in the Commitments, Schedule 2.01 shall be revised to reflect the modified Commitments and Commitment Percentages of the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall provide supporting corporate resolutions, legal opinions, promissory notes and other items as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection therewith.

(d) Temporary Cap on Commitments. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, until such time as a Person other than General Electric Capital Corporation is added as a Lender pursuant to Section 10.07 hereof with a Commitment of not less than $20,000,000.00, the Aggregate Commitment Amount hereunder shall not exceed the lesser of (x) $80,000,000.00 and (y) the Borrowing Base Amount.

2.02. Advances of the Loan.

(a) Each Advance of the Loan shall be made upon the Borrower Representative’s irrevocable Loan Borrowing Notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Advance. Each telephonic notice pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Borrowing Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent. Each Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of not less than $500,000. Each Loan Borrowing Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the principal amount of Advances to be borrowed.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 35

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Advance. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Advance available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Borrowing Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Advance, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the party referenced in the applicable Loan Borrowing Notice in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the applicable party on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative.

2.03. Calculation of Availability Amount.

(a) The Availability Amount shall be calculated as of the end of each calendar quarter (the “Determination Date”); provided that the Borrowing Base Amount shall be reduced to the Availability Amount only if (a) the Availability Amount is less than the Collateral Value for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters in which case the provisions of Section 2.05(b)(i) shall apply or (b) if the Debt Yield is less than ten percent (10%) for any calendar quarter, in which event the provisions of Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall apply.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to the calculation of the Availability Amount for the Borrowing Base Asset located in Akron, Summit County, Ohio (the “Bath Asset”) on the first two Determination Dates following the Closing Date only, in lieu of using the ANOI for the trailing six (6) month period prior to the Determination Date for the Bath Asset (i) on the first Determination Date following the Closing Date, the Availability Amount will be calculated using the ANOI for the first six (6) months of 2010 as reflected in the pro forma budget for the Bath Asset provided to Administrative Agent and (b) on the second Determination Date following the Closing Date, the Availability Amount will be calculated using the ANOI for the first three(3) months of 2010 as reflected in the pro forma budget for the Bath Asset provided to Administrative Agent, plus the actual ANOI of the Bath Asset for the trailing three (3) month period prior to the Determination Date.

2.04. Repayment of the Loan.

The Loan shall be payable as follows:

(a) Interest Payments.

(i) The Borrowers shall pay a payment of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the date hereof through the last day of the current month computed at the Contract Rate.

(ii) Commencing on April 1, 2010, and continuing on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter (each such date a “Payment Date”), the Borrowers shall pay interest only in arrears computed at the Contract Rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 36

(b) Maturity. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest, late charges and any and all other Obligations due under the Credit Documents.

2.05. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Loan may be repaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05); provided that notice thereof must be received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment. Each such notice of voluntary prepayment hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date and amount of prepayment. The Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of any prepayment on the Loan and the Lender’s interest therein. Prepayments hereunder shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon and breakage amounts, if any, under Section 3.05.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any Determination Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations (the “Principal Obligations”) shall exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Committed Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base Amount for such date, Borrowers shall within thirty (30) days after such determination, make a prepayment on the Loan in an amount equal to such excess.

(ii) If at any Determination Date, the Debt Yield is less than ten percent (10%), Borrowers shall, within thirty (30) days following the Determination Date, reduce the Principal Obligations by an amount necessary to achieve a Debt Yield of not less than 10.0%.

(c) Application. Prepayments on the Obligations will be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective interests therein.

2.06. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, the Loan and all Advances thereunder shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Contract Rate.

(b) If any amount payable by the Borrowers under any Credit Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Furthermore, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 37

(c) In addition to the application of the Default Rate of interest to past due amounts hereunder, if Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest or principal within five (5) days after the date on which the same is due, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent a late charge on such past due amount, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to five percent (5%) of such amount, but not in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable Law. The foregoing late charge is intended to compensate Administrative Agent and Lenders for the expenses incident to handling any such delinquent payment and for the losses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders as a result of such delinquent payment. Borrowers agree that, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date this Agreement is executed, the late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the costs and losses Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders further agree that proof of actual losses would be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix. Acceptance of the late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the Default or Event of Default arising from the past due installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Administrative Agent with respect to such Default or Event of Default.

(d) Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.07. Fees and Expenses.

(a) Unused Fee. From and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers agree to pay the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Unused Fees incurred during such period. The Unused Fee shall accrue at all times during the Commitment Period (and thereafter so long as Obligations shall remain outstanding), including periods during which the conditions to Advances in Section 4.02 may not be met, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand); provided, that (i) no Unused Fee shall accrue on the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (ii) any Unused Fee accrued with respect to the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the Unused Fee to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective Commitments of the Lenders.

(b) Annual Administrative Fee. From and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers agree to pay Administrative Agent, for its sole benefit, an annual administrative agent fee in the amount of $100,000.00. Such fee shall be payable in twelve (12) equal installments of $8,333.303 each, which installments shall be due and payable on each Payment Date.

(c) Arrangement Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its sole benefit and account, an arrangement fee equal to one half of one percent (.5%) times the Aggregate Committed Amount in excess of $80,000,000.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 38

(d) Collateral Monitoring Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the first (1st) day of each month during the term of the Loan, in addition to all other amounts due under the Credit Documents, the sum of One Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($150.00) per Borrowing Base Asset as a collateral monitoring fee.

2.08. Computation of Interest.

All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).

2.09. Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Commitment Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Unless the Borrowers or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if the Borrowers fail to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 39

available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Advance set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof or for any other reason, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Advances are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, nor relieve Borrowers from any obligations hereunder to the Lenders which fulfill such obligations and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.

(g) If at any time insufficient funds are received by or are available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

2.10. Sharing of Payments.

If any Lender shall obtain on account of the Advances made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, but excluding any payments made to a Lender in error by the Administrative Agent (which such payments shall be returned by the Lender to the Administrative Agent immediately upon such Lender’s obtaining knowledge that such payment was made in error)) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Advances or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Credit Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

2.11. Evidence of Debt.

The Advances made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advances made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note for each Lender requesting a Note, which Note shall evidence the Advances made by such Lender under its Commitment in addition to such accounts or

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 41

records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Extension of Credit and payments with respect thereto.

2.12. Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

(b) Each Borrower hereby agrees such Borrower is, and each such Borrower’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns are, jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all of the Obligations arising under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 2.12 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 2.12 shall be absolute and unconditional.

(c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations hereunder as and when due or to perform any of such Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(d) The guaranty obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.12 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following:

(i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any other Borrower is or may become a party;

(ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Credit Agreement (including this Section 2.12) or any other Credit Document or the waiver or consent by Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect any Lien or any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Administrative Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 42

(iv) the insolvency of any other Borrower;

(v) the institution of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or Administrative Agent’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code;

(vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code;

(vii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s claim(s) for repayment of any of the Obligations; or

(viii) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor other than the payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Credit Agreement (except to the extent demand is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit Agreement. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.12, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.12, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.12 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.12 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up,

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 43

reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, and except as set forth in Section 2.12(j), each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 2.12, and that Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 2.12.

(g) If Administrative Agent or any Lender may, under applicable Law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Credit Documents giving Administrative Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Administrative Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 2.12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Administrative Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Administrative Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Administrative Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Administrative Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Administrative Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Credit Documents, Administrative Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 2.12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent or any Lenders might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

(h) The provisions of this Section 2.12 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 44

Person from time to time against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.12 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(i) Each Borrower’s liability under this Section 2.12 shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of the following:

(i) the amount of the Loan allocated to each Borrower as set forth on Schedule 2.12 hereto (the “Allocable Amount”); and

(ii) the amount that could be claimed by Administrative Agent and any Lender from such Borrower under this Section 2.12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 2.12(j) below.

(j) Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

(i) To the extent that any Borrower (the “Overpaying Borrower”) incurs (i) any payment in excess of its Allocable Amount, or (ii) a loss of its Collateral due to the foreclosure (or other realization by lenders) of, or the delivery of deeds in lieu of foreclosure relating to it Collateral, and the value of such Collateral exceeded its Allocable Share (the “Overpayment Amount”), then such Overpaying Borrower shall be entitled, after indefeasible payment in full and the satisfaction of all Obligations to Lenders under the Credit Agreement, to contribution from each of the benefited Borrowers, on a pro rata basis, for the amounts so paid, advanced or benefited, in an amount equal to the difference between the Overpayment Amount and such benefited Borrower’s then current Allocable Amount. Any such contribution payments shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(ii) This Section 2.12(j) is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 2.12(j) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.12(a) above. Nothing contained in this Section 2.12(j) shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay all or any part of the Loan made directly or indirectly to that

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 45

Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

(iii) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(iv) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Borrowers under this Section 2.12(j) shall be exercisable only upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations.

(k) The liability of Borrowers under this Section 2.12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

2.13. Appointment of Parent as Legal Representative for Credit Parties.

Each of the Credit Parties hereby appoints the Parent to act as its exclusive legal representative for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to Borrowings and the repayment of the Loan as described in Article II and Article III hereof) (in such capacity, the “Borrower Representative”). Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Borrower Representative may execute such documents on behalf of all the Credit Parties (whether as Borrowers or Guarantor) as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion and each Credit Party shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed by the Borrower Representative on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder to the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each of the Credit Parties and (c) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by the Borrower Representative on behalf of the Credit Parties (or any of them). The Borrowers must act through the Borrower Representative for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent any provision in this Credit Agreement requires any Credit Party to interact in any manner with the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, such Credit Party shall do so through the Borrower Representative.

2.14. Establishment of Impounds.

(a) Real Estate Tax Impounds. Borrowers shall deposit with Administrative Agent, monthly on each Payment Date, a sum of money (the “Tax Impound”) equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Real Estate Taxes. At or before the initial Advance of the Loan, Borrowers shall deposit with Administrative Agent a sum of money which together with the monthly installments will be sufficient to make each of such payments thirty (30) days prior to the date any delinquency or penalty becomes due with respect to such payments. Deposits shall be made on the basis of Administrative Agent’s estimate from time to time of the Real Estate

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 46

Taxes for the current year (after giving effect to any reassessment or, at Administrative Agent’s election, on the basis of the Real Estate Taxes for the prior year, with adjustments when the Real Estate Taxes are fixed for the then current year). All funds so deposited shall be held by Administrative Agent or its servicer. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Administrative Agent shall credit for Borrowers’ account interest at the interest rate actually available to Administrative Agent’s or its servicer on the funds held in such account, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. These sums may be commingled with Administrative Agent’s general funds and shall not be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Borrowers. Borrowers hereby grant to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in all funds so deposited with Administrative Agent for the purpose of securing the Loan. Until an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall apply the funds deposited to pay the Real Estate Taxes as provided herein. While an Event of Default exists, the funds deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds have been deposited, or to the payment of the Loan or any other charges affecting the security of Lenders, as Administrative Agent may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall furnish Administrative Agent with bills for the Real Estate Taxes for which such deposits are required at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Real Estate Taxes first become payable. If at any time the amount on deposit with Administrative Agent, together with amounts to be deposited by Borrowers before such Real Estate Taxes are payable, is insufficient to pay such Real Estate Taxes, Borrowers shall deposit any deficiency with Administrative Agent immediately upon demand. Administrative Agent shall pay such Real Estate Taxes when the amount on deposit with Administrative Agent is sufficient to pay such Real Estate Taxes and Administrative Agent has received a xxxx for such Real Estate Taxes. The obligation of Borrowers to pay the Real Estate Taxes, as set forth in the Credit Documents, is not affected or modified by the provision of this paragraph; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be in default under the Loan for failure to pay Real Estate Taxes if and to the extent there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Tax Impound to timely pay such Real Estate Taxes. On the Maturity Date, the monies then remaining on deposit with Administrative Agent under this Section 2.14(a) shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, be applied against the Obligations or if no Event of Default exists hereunder, returned to Borrowers.

(b) Replacement Reserve. Borrowers shall deposit with Administrative Agent on each Payment Date the product of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) multiplied by the number of Senior Housing Units in the Borrowing Base Assets, which shall be held by Administrative Agent or its servicer for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Borrowing Base Assets during the term of the Loan (the “Replacement Escrow Fund”). So long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Administrative Agent shall credit for Borrowers’ account interest at the interest rate actually available to Administrative Agent’s servicer on the funds held in such account, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Borrowers hereby pledge to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and grant a security interest in, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Replacement Escrow Fund as additional security for the payment of the Loan. Administrative Agent may reasonably reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Escrow Fund from time to time and may adjust the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Escrow Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrowers. Administrative Agent shall make disbursements from the Replacement Escrow Fund as requested by Borrowers, and approved by Administrative Agent in

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 47

its reasonable discretion, on a quarterly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrowers of Administrative Agent’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Administrative Agent for any draw request for an invoice exceeding $15,000.00, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Administrative Agent may require an inspection of the Borrowing Base Assets at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a quarterly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs for which reimbursement is sought. The Replacement Escrow Fund shall be held without interest in Administrative Agent’s name and may be commingled with Administrative Agent’s general funds at financial institutions selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may apply any sums then present in the Replacement Escrow Fund to the payment of the Loan in any order in its reasonable discretion. Until expended or applied as above provided, the Replacement Escrow Fund shall constitute additional security for the Loan. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to release any of the Replacement Escrow Fund while any Event of Default or Default exists. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in the disbursement of any of the Replacement Escrow Fund shall be paid by Borrowers promptly upon demand or, at Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, deducted from the Replacement Escrow Fund.

2.15. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.06), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 48

any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances owed to that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances (in the aggregate) to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Commitment Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise and excise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 49

assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Credit Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, such Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). For the avoidance of doubt, “Other Taxes” shall not include any taxes assessed on the net or gross income of a taxpayer, regardless of whether such taxes are designated excise or property taxes.

(c) If the Borrowers shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Credit Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrowers shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or to such Lender, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

(d) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) that are paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender and that are the responsibility of the Borrowers, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a written demand therefor.

3.02. Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its Extension of Credit using the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to continue its Extension of Credit or make Advances at the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 50

such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall either (a) agree to substitute the Base Rate for the Eurodollar Base Rate on the outstanding Extension of Credit or (b) upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay such Lender’s Extension of Credit on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its Extension of Credit to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its Extension of Credit. Upon any such prepayment or substitution of the Base Rate, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03. Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate with respect to a proposed Advance under the Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested proposed Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advance, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make further Advances or maintain the Extensions of Credit using the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing at the Eurodollar Rate or may substitute a request for a Borrowing using the Base Rate.

3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves.

(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining the Loan, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 51

(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Advances made by such Lender under the Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such portion of the Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on the Loan, provided the Borrowers shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

3.05. Funding Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any payment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for the Loan or portion thereof (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to prepay or borrow any Advance on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or

(c) any assignment of any portion of the Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.16;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain the Loan or portion thereof or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Advance made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Advance was in fact so funded.

3.06. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 52

hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.16.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article III shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article III for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the change in Law or other matter giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore (except that, if the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.07. Survival.

All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

The Borrowers, upon request by the Administrative Agent, shall execute all instruments requested to confirm the assignment of the Award to the Administrative Agent, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Default or an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent is authorized to adjust such Award without the consent of the Borrowers and to collect such Award in the name of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 88

contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Credit Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

9.02. Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.03. Liability of Administrative Agent.

No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Credit Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Credit Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.

9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party), independent accountants and

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 89

other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

9.05. Notice of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the requisite Lenders in accordance herewith; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Confidential Information by Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession (in each case, except to the extent the Administrative Agent has confirmed to any Lender in writing the satisfaction of conditions to funding as of the Closing Date). Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 90

Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Credit Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

9.07. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

9.08. Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

GECC and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as though GECC were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, GECC or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Credit Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 91

Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Extension of Credit, GECC shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include GECC in its individual capacity.

9.09. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Credit Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower Representative at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower Representative shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower Representative, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” thereafter shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent or any other Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their

Page 92

respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents against the Credit Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.10), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

10.06. Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

10.07. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) or (i) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and Extension of Credit at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Extension of Credit at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes the Extension of Credit outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Extension of Credit or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender and, if the assignor Lender retains a portion of the Loan, a Note to the assignor Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Extension of Credit owing to

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 99

each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Credit Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Extension of Credit owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that extends the time for, reduces the amount or alters the application of proceeds with respect to such obligations and payments required therein that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 10.15 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 100

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may (without notice to or the consent of any of the parties hereto) create a security interest in all or any portion of the Extension of Credit owing to it and the Note evidencing such Extension of Credit, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Credit Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(h) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to any assignment by a Lender to a Permitted Investor under this Section 10.07 or if any Permitted Investor becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.16 or otherwise, the following shall apply: (i) in no event may Permitted Investors own in the aggregate more than a thirty percent (30%) interest in the Loan; (ii) if as a result of any such transfer or series of transfers, Permitted Investors and GECC are the only Lenders hereunder, actions to be taken by Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents on behalf of the Lenders that require the consent of (A) all Lenders will not require the consent of the Permitted Investors and (B) the Required Lenders will not require the consent of the Permitted Investors; and (iii) if any action to be taken by Administrative Agent under this Agreement requires the consent of the Required Lenders, and the consent of the Permitted Investor causes the 66 2/3% percentage requirement set forth in the definition of “Required Investors” to be met, such action will nonetheless require the consent of one additional Lender hereunder. The execution by a Permitted Investor of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and/or Lender Joinder Agreement will be sufficient to evidence such Permitted Investor’s agreement to the terms of this Section 10.06(h), provided the Permitted Investor will execute any additional documents required by Administrative Agent to evidence the agreements contained in this Section 10.06(h).

10.08. Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Law or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Credit Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential); (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 101

professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Credit Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative; (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers; (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential); or (j) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to a Lender’s or an Affiliate’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or Affiliate. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Credit Agreement and information about this Credit Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Commitments, and the Extensions of Credit. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party, any of the other Consolidated Parties, or its or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party; provided, that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Confidential Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

10.09. Set-off.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates are authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrowers (on their own behalf and on behalf of each Credit Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the respective Credit Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document (subject to Section 2.10), now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 102

and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.10. Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.11. Counterparts.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.12. Integration.

This Credit Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Credit Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of specific supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Credit Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Credit Agreement. Each Credit Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Extension of Credit, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 103

10.14. Severability.

If any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.15. Tax Forms.

(a) (i) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Internal Revenue Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Law that the Borrowers make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Credit Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 104

set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

(iii) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.01 (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 10.15(a) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 10.15(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Credit Documents, nothing in this Section 10.15(a) shall relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Credit Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

(iv) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Credit Documents with respect to which the Borrowers are not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 10.15(a).

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, without reduction.

(c) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

10.16. Replacement of Lenders.

To the extent that Section 3.06(b) provides that the Borrowers shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this Credit Agreement, the Borrowers may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment (with the related assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers) pursuant to Section 10.07(b) to one or more Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrowers; provided, however, that if the Borrowers elect to exercise such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to such Section 3.06(b), they shall be obligated to replace all Lenders that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04. The Borrowers shall pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of replacement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05). Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Extension of Credit.

10.17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrowers each acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, and each Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (c) the Administrative Agent has not assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has advised or is currently advising the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; (d) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) the Administrative Agent has not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) and each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted

CREDIT AGREEMENT

DAL:0535130/00080:1910701v7

Page 106

by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

10.18. Source of Funds.

Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Borrowers that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to the source of funds to be used by such Lender in connection with the financing hereunder:

(a) no part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to any separate account maintained by such Lender in which any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has any interest;

(b) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to any separate account maintained by such Lender, such Lender has disclosed to the Borrowers the name of each employee benefit plan whose assets in such account exceed ten percent (10%) of the total assets of such account as of the date of such purchase (and, for purposes of this subsection (b), all employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization are deemed to be a single plan);

(c) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets of an insurance company’s general account, such insurance company has complied with all of the requirements of the regulations issued under Section 401(c)(1)(A) of ERISA; or

(d) such funds constitute assets of one or more specific benefit plans that such Lender has identified in writing to the Borrowers.

As used in this Section, the terms “employee benefit plan” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings provided in Section 3 of ERISA.

10.19. GOVERNING LAW.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS SITTING IN CHICAGO OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE Agent AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE Agent AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF

10.20. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

10.21. No Conflict.

To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the provisions of any other Credit Document, this Credit Agreement shall control.

10.22. USA Patriot Act Notice.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers (and to the extent applicable, the Parent), which information includes the name and address of the respective Borrowers (and to the extent applicable, the Parent) and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers (and to the extent applicable, the Parent) in accordance with the Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
