lowest of (i) the Aggregate Commitment, (ii) 60% of the Appraised Value or (iii)

Each
Lender shall fund its Percentage of such initial Advance and no Lender will be
required to fund any amounts which would exceed such Lender’s
Commitment. This facility (“Facility”) is not a
revolving credit facility and, therefore, notwithstanding repayment of all or
any portion of such Advance, the Borrower shall have no right to reborrow
Advances thereafter. For convenience, portions of such single initial
disbursement bearing different interest rates are referred to herein as
“Advances” but such reference shall not be deemed in any way to create such a
revolving credit facility.
2.2 Ratable
Advances. The
initial Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders
ratably in proportion to the ratio their respective Commitments bear to the
Aggregate Commitment and may be Floating Rate Advances, LIBOR Rate Advances or a
combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section
2.7.
2.3 Final Principal
Payment. Any
outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by
the Borrower on the Maturity Date.
2.4 Fees. The
Borrower agrees to pay such fees as may be due to the Administrative Agent under
that certain fee letter dated August 20, 2008 (the “Fees”) on the due
dates provided for therein.
2.5 Extension of Maturity
Date. The
Borrower shall have one (1) option to extend the Maturity Date for a period of
twelve (12) months (the “Extension Option”),
upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a) As
of the date that Borrower has delivered notice of its intent to exercise the
Extension Option, and as of the then-current Maturity Date, no Default or
Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrower shall so
certify in writing;
(b) Borrower
shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice of its intent to exercise
the Extension Option not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Maturity
Date;
(c) Administrative
Agent shall have received an updated Appraisal dated not more than one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the initial Maturity Date evidencing a then-current
Collateral Asset LTV of not more than 60%, or if the then-current Collateral
Asset Value is 60% or greater, prior to the exercise of such Extension Option
Borrower shall have made sufficient repayments of the Advances so that the
Outstanding Loan Amount as of such date shall result in a Collateral Asset LTV
of not more than 60%; and
(d) Not
later than the date the Extension Option is exercised, Administrative Agent is
paid a fee for the ratable benefit of the then-current Lenders equal to one
quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then-current Outstanding Loan
Amount.
-15-
2.6 Optional Prepayments;
Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) The
Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative
Agent, prepay all or any portion of the Advances, which notice shall specify the

Advances or Floating Rate Advances, or a combination thereof, and if a
combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; provided, however, that (i)
any partial prepayment under this Subsection shall be in an amount not less than
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and; (ii) any LIBOR
Rate Advance prepaid on any day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR
Interest Period must be accompanied by any amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.4. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is
given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.4.
(b) If
the Administrative Agent believes that there has been a material decrease in the
value of the Collateral Asset since the date of the last Appraisal, the
Administrative Agent may obtain an updated Appraisal from time to time during
the term of the Facility provided that such updated Appraisals shall not be
obtained more often than once in any twelve (12) month
period. Borrower shall pay the cost of each such updated Appraisal
promptly after receipt of an invoice thereon. If any such updated
Appraisal indicates an Appraised Value that results in a Collateral Asset LTV in
excess of 60%, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after written notice from
the Administrative Agent, prepay a portion of the Outstanding Loan Amount
sufficient to reduce the Collateral Asset LTV to 60%. The failure of
the Borrower to make any prepayment as required under this subsection shall
constitute a Default under this Agreement. Each prepayment required
to be made under this subsection shall include any amounts payable pursuant to
Section
3.4. Such prepayment shall be applied first to Floating Rate
Advances and then to LIBOR Rate Advances.
(c) The
Obligations shall be “non-recourse” to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall not
be liable personally to pay any of the Obligations accruing hereunder or under

and avails thereof and to any other security given to secure the obligations

LIBOR Interest Period unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative
Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such LIBOR
Interest Period, such LIBOR Rate Advance continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance for a
different Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of
any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion
of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the

provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders’ interests in the Advances and the Loan
Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’
interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered
to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be
applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly
(on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to
noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the
Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the
Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at
any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative
Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent
but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the
Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until
the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to
charge the account of the Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of
principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.
-18-
2.12 Notes; Telephonic
Notices. Each
Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans
and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that
the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such
Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections
of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on written notices made by any
Authorized Officer and Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative
Agent such written notice. The Administrative Agent will at the
request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly,
provide notice of the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment, the Type
of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if for a LIBOR Rate
Advance. Upon a Lender’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such
effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall
deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the
same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.
2.13 Interest Payment Dates;
Interest and Fee Basis. Interest
accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by
acceleration or otherwise. Interest and Fees shall be calculated for
actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be
payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the
amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Cleveland time) at the place
of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance
shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal
payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment.
2.14 Notification of Advances,
Interest Rates and Prepayments. The
Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing
Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it
hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice
is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate
Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each
Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.15 Lending
Installations. Each
Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender
and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms
of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes
shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending
Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice at least
three (3) Business Days in advance to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for
whose account Loan payments are to be made.
2.16 Non-Receipt of Funds by the
Administrative Agent. Unless
the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent
prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative
Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case
of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been
made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to,
make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance
upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may
be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient
of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the
Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon
in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was
so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative
Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of
payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in
the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the
relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest
thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand,
all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period
shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower.
-19-
2.17 Replacement of Lenders under
Certain Circumstances. The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable
of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States
federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or
(b) cannot maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation
pursuant to Section 3.3,
with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that
(i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or
regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after
notice thereof to the Borrower) no Unmatured Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the
Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at
par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date
of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender
under Sections 3.4 and
3.6 if any
LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased)
other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the
replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and
conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make
such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3
(provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee
referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be
consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required
pursuant to Section 3.5 and
(viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall
have against the replaced Lender.
2.18 Usury. This
Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time
shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance
of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal
liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents,
Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal
balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the
interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be
immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in
excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due
hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use,
forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum
Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan
for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

CHANGE IN
CIRCUMSTANCES
3.1 Yield
Protection. If,
on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any
governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or
directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or
applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency:
(i) subjects
any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the
basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any
Lender in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans, or
(ii) imposes
or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation (other than the Reserve Requirement and any other reserves and
assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to
LIBOR Rate Advances), or
(iii) imposes
any other condition the direct result of which is to increase the cost to any
Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining
its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Rate Loans, or
requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment
calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by a material
amount.
and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining
its LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such
Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such LIBOR Rate
Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower
shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy
Regulations. If
a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a
Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender,
the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any
shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which
such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its
outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder
(after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital
adequacy). “Change” means
(i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in
any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy,
guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any
corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in
the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and
(ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory
authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the
Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled
“International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,”
including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior
to the date of this Agreement.
-21-
3.3 Availability of Types of
Advances. If
any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate
Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule,
regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the
Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the
availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any LIBOR Rate Advances
of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith
determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund
LIBOR Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with
written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of
Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such
determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance
does not accurately reflect the cost of making a LIBOR Rate Advance of such
Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are
inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower,
suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any
LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If
the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, the Borrower may
concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such
repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Floating Rate.
3.4 Funding
Indemnification. If
any payment of a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the
last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration,
prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance is not made on the date
specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as
a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the
Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it
resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred
or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to
fund or maintain the ratable LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or
costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand
therefor.
3.5 Taxes.
(i) All
payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is
made.
-22-
(ii) In
addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the
execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
Note (“Other Taxes”).
(iii) The
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for
the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within
30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand
therefor pursuant to Section
3.6.
(iv) Each
Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America
or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than
ten Business Days after the Agreement Execution Date, (i) deliver to each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that
such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii)
deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States
Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding
tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of
such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires
or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or
amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the
preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any
such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and
delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving
payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income
tax.
-23-
(v) For
any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower
with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is
due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under
this Section
3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.
(vi) Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of
any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate following receipt of such documentation.
(vii) If
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the
United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts
a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts
paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not
delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption
from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this
subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including
attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which
attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The
obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii)
shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement
and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be
entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts,
whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise,
except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to
such liability.
3.6 Lender Statements; Survival
of Indemnity. To
the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending
Installation with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the
Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and
3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long
as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written
statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or
3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable
detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall
be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest
error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in
connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender
funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and
maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the
LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or
not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the
Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower
under Sections 3.1,
3.2, 3.4 and
3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this
Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES
GPLP and
Borrower each represents and warrants to the Lenders, as of the Agreement
Execution Date, that:
5.1 Existence. GPLP
is a limited partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, with its principal office in Columbus,
Ohio. Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the applicable state shown on the signature
pages hereto with its principal place of business in Columbus,
Ohio. GPLP and Borrower each is duly qualified as a foreign limited
partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, properly licensed
(if required), in good standing and has all requisite authority to conduct its
business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where
the failure to be so qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the
requisite authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
-28-
5.2 Authorization and
Validity. Each
of GPLP and Borrower has the limited partnership or limited liability company
power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents
and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery
by GPLP and Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance of their
respective obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper limited
partnership or limited liability company proceedings, and the Loan Documents
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of them enforceable
against them in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally.
5.3 No Conflict; Government
Consent. Neither
the execution and delivery by GPLP and Borrower of the Loan Documents, nor the
consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the
provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on GPLP or Borrower, or GPLP’s or
Borrower’s operating agreements, partnership agreement, or by-laws, or the
provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which GPLP or Borrower
is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict
with or constitute a default thereunder, except where such violation, conflict
or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of GPLP or Borrower,
pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or
agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any
governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is
required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability
of, any of the Loan Documents other than the filing of a copy of this

Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative
Agent.
8.3 Preservation of
Rights. No
delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any
right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a
waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of an Advance

satisfy the conditions precedent to such Advance shall not constitute any waiver
or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right
shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms,
conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless
in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and
then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All
remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative
and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the

entity shall be determined by the Required Lenders, subject to each Lender’s
right to hold its interests in such entity in, and assign such interests to, any
affiliate of such Lender or any other entity required by laws or regulations
governing such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized
to act for and on behalf of the Lenders in all day-to-day matters with respect
to the exercise of rights described herein such as the supervision of attorneys,
accountants, appraisers or others acting for the benefit of all of the Lenders
in connection with litigation, foreclosure or realization of all or any security
given as Collateral for the Obligations or other similar actions.
(b) If

of foreclosure, to negotiate in good faith to reach agreement in writing
relating to the ownership, operation, maintenance, marketing and sale of the
Collateral Asset and that such agreement shall be consistent with the
following:
(i) The

in an attempt to sell them in a time period consistent with the regulations
applicable to national banks for owning real estate. Current
appraisals of the Collateral Asset shall be obtained by the Administrative Agent
from time to time during the ownership period at Lenders’ expense (without
diminishing or releasing any obligation of the Borrower to pay for such costs)
and an appraised value shall be established and updated from time to time based
on such appraisals.
-41-
(ii) Certain
decision making with respect to the day-to-day operations of the Collateral
Asset will be delegated to management and leasing agents. All
agreements with such management and leasing agents will be subject to the
approval of the Required Lenders. The day-to-day supervision of such
agents shall be done by the Administrative Agent.
(iii) Except
as provided in the following sentences, all decisions as to whether to sell the

in accordance with the standards established in this Agreement that has been
completed within six months of such offer, then the Administrative Agent shall
give written notice of such offer to the Lenders and request their approval for
sale at such a price. If the Required Lenders approve of such a sale
(or are deemed to approve of such a sale) then the Administrative Agent, acting
on behalf of the Lenders, is irrevocably authorized to accept such
offer.

expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the
ownership, operation, maintenance, marketing and sale of the Collateral Asset
shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their
respective Percentages.
(v) All
expenditures and other actions taken with respect to the Collateral Asset shall
at all times be subject to the regulations and requirements pertaining to

Documents.
10.12 Notice of
Defaults. If
a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give

receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.
-47-
10.13 Requests for
Approval. If
the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a
Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively
in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner
if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative
Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request
for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative
Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed
to have approved the request.
10.14 Defaulting
Lenders. At
such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s
right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the
Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately
suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except
that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be changed
without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender
subsequently funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all Obligations owing to
such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as
provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all
principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other
Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has
not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred
to as “Senior Loans” for the purposes of this section). All amounts
paid by the Borrower, the Parent Entities or the Guarantors and otherwise due to
be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other
Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for
the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans
have been paid in full provided, however, in no event will any such distribution
to the other Lenders give rise to any liability of the Borrower to the
Defaulting Lender. After the Senior Loans have been paid in full
equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future payments by the
Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with
amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but
for the operation of this Section 10.14. This
provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each
Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the
obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be
effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and
notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii)
any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments or
(iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which
are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all
Lenders.

amendment to the Mortgage subjecting the Council Exchange Parcel to the Lien of
the Mortgage;
-50-
(ix) Except
as otherwise expressly set forth in clauses (vi) and (vii) above, if such
Outparcel has an Appraised Outparcel Value, Borrower shall, as a condition to
such release, repay a portion of the Outstanding Loan Amount equal to sixty
percent (60%) of the amount determined by multiplying the square footage of such
Outparcel times the per square foot Appraised Outparcel Value applicable to such
Outparcel; and

documentation Administrative Agent reasonably requires to be delivered by
Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Authorized Officer’s
certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all
legal requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT;
ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
12.1 Successors and
Assigns. The
terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and
assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its
rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any
Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates
only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security
interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any
Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to
a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any
pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no
such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the
transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties
thereto have complied with the provisions of Section
12.3. The Administrative Agent and Borrower may treat the
Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all
purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent and Borrower may in its discretion (but shall not be
required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which
holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another
Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by
acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the
Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who
at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the
owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in
evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or
assignee of the rights to such Loan.
12.2 Participations.
12.2.1 Permitted Participants;
Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business
and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks,
financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (“Participants”)
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such
Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under
the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of
participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the
Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall
be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents.
12.2.2 Voting
Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve,
without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or
waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an
interest which would require consent of all the Lenders pursuant to the terms of
Section 8.2 or
of any other Loan Document.
-52-
12.3 Assignments.
12.3.1 Permitted
Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any of
such Lender’s affiliates or to one or more banks, financial institutions or
pension funds, or with the prior approval of the Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, any other entity (“Purchasers”) all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents provided that
any assignment of only a portion of such rights and obligations shall be in an
amount not less than $5,000,000. In addition, KeyBank National
Association agrees that it will not assign any portion of its Commitment or
Commitments of its affiliates, if such assignment will result in the amount of
the Commitment to be held by KeyBank National Association and its affiliates to
be less than the next highest Commitment amount held by any other Lender
provided that no Default has occurred and is
continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval of the
Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has occurred and
is then continuing. Such assignment shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit
D hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties
thereto. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required
prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is
not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
12.3.2 Effect; Effective
Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent and
Borrower of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit “I” to Exhibit
D hereto (a “Notice of
Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and
(ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative
Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on
the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice
of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that
none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans
under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under
ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan
Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the
effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a
Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the
Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no
further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor
Lender shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment,
with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to
such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the
transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor
Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such
Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as
adjusted pursuant to such assignment.
-53-
12.4 Dissemination of
Information. The
Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or
any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law
(each a “Transferee”) and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession
concerning the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties.
12.5 Tax
Treatment. If
any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is
organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any
State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section
3.5.

This
Assignment Agreement (this “Assignment Agreement”) between
__________________________________ (the “Assignor”) and
_________________________ (the “Assignee”) is dated as of _____________,
200_. The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT. The Assignor is a party to a Term Loan Agreement
(which, as it may be amended, modified, renewed or extended from time to time is
herein called the “Loan Agreement”) described in Item 1 of Schedule 1 attached
hereto (“Schedule 1”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Loan
Agreement.
2. ASSIGNMENT AND
ASSUMPTION. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the
Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, an
interest in and to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Agreement such that after giving effect to such assignment the Assignee shall
have purchased pursuant to this Assignment Agreement the percentage interest
specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 of all outstanding rights and obligations
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The dollar
amount of the Commitment purchased by the Assignee hereunder is also set forth
in Item 3 of Schedule 1.
3. EFFECTIVE
DATE. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the
“Effective Date”) shall be the later of the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule
1 or two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Agent) after
a Notice of Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit “I” attached hereto
has been delivered to the Agent. Such Notice of Assignment must
include the consent of the Agent to the extent required by Section 12.3.1
of the Loan Agreement. In no event will the Effective Date occur if
the payments required to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor on the
Effective Date under Section 4 hereof are
not made on the proposed Effective Date. The Assignor will notify the
Assignee of the proposed Effective Date no later than the Business Day prior to
the proposed Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, (i) the
Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee
hereunder and (ii) the Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from
its corresponding obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the

Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder which is outstanding on the Effective
Date. The Assignee will promptly remit to the Assignor (i) the
portion of any principal payments assigned hereunder and received from the Agent
and (ii) any amounts of interest on Loans and fees received from the Agent
to the extent either (i) or (ii) relate to the portion of the Loans assigned to
the Assignee hereunder for periods prior to the Effective Date and have not been
previously paid by the Assignee to the Assignor. In the event that
either party hereto receives any payment to which the other party hereto is
entitled under this Assignment Agreement, then the party receiving such amount
shall promptly remit it to the other party hereto.

Assignor and that the Assignor makes no other representation or warranty of any
kind to the Assignee. Neither the Assignor nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be responsible for (i) the due

value or sufficiency of any collateral securing or purporting to secure the
Loans or (vii) any mistake, error of judgment, or action taken or omitted to be
taken in connection with the Loans or the Loan Documents.
6. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE
ASSIGNEE. The Assignee (i) confirms that it has received a
copy of the Loan Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements
requested by the Assignee and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into

documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan
Documents, (iii) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are

reasonably incidental thereto, (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance
with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents
are required to be performed by it as a Lender, (v) agrees that its payment
instructions and notice instructions are as set forth in the attachment to

and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA.
7. INDEMNITY. The
Assignee agrees to indemnify and hold the Assignor harmless against any and all
losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees) and liabilities incurred by the Assignor in connection with or arising in
any manner from the Assignee’s non-performance of the obligations assumed by
Assignee under this Assignment Agreement on and after the Effective
Date. The Assignor agrees to indemnify and hold the Assignee harmless
against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION
SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES
Phase I
Environmental Site Assessments to be prepared in accordance with the ASTM
Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E1527-94), a summary of
which follows:
This ASTM
practice is generally considered the industry standard for conducting a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). The purpose of this standard is
to “define good commercial and customary practice in the United States of
America for conducting an ESA of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect
to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum
products.” The ASTM Phase I ESA is intended to permit a user to
satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to
CERCLA liability; that is, the practice that constitutes “all appropriate
inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with
good commercial or customary practices” as defined in 42 USC
9601(35)(B).
The goal
of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to identify “recognized environmental
conditions.” Recognized environmental conditions means the presence
or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a
property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or
a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products
into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface
water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or
petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The
term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally would
not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of
appropriate governmental agencies.
The ASTM
standard indicates that a Phase I ESA should consist of four main
components: 1) Records Review; 2) Site Reconnaissance; 3) Interviews;
and 4) Report. The purpose of the records review is to obtain and
review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions in
connection with the property. The site reconnaissance involves
physical observation of the property’s exterior and interior, as well as an
observation of adjoining properties. Interviews with previous and
current owners and occupants, and local government officials provides insight
into the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in
connection with the property. The final component of the ESA, the
report, contains the findings of the ESA and conclusions regarding the presence
or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the
property. It includes documentation to support the analysis,
opinions, and conclusions found in the report.
While the
use of this practice is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry for purposes
of CERCLA’s innocent landowner defense, it is not intended that its use be
limited to that purpose. The ASTM standard is intended to be an
approach to conducting an inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental
conditions in connection with a property, and environmental site
assessments.

Re:
|
$40,000,000 Term Loan
to Glimcher Northtown Venture, LLC and GB Northtown, LLC (collectively ,
the “Borrower”)
|
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We have
acted as counsel for Borrower and Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership
(“Guarantor”) in connection with a $40,000,000 secured term loan to Borrower,
(the “Loan”), which Loan is being made pursuant to that certain Term Loan
Agreement dated as of October __, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”) among Borrower,
Guarantor, KeyBank National Association and the several lenders from time to
time parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), and KeyBank National
Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”). All capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan
Agreement.
In
connection with the Loan we have been furnished with originals or copies
certified to our satisfaction of the operating agreements, partnership
agreements and certificates of limited partnership, and Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the general partner
of the Guarantor, acting on behalf of the Guarantor individually and in its
capacity as the sole member of the Borrower and all such corporate and other
records of the Borrower, Guarantor and such general partner, with such
declarations and agreements, and certificates of officers and representatives of
the Borrower and Guarantor, with such other documents, and we have made such
other examinations and investigations as we have deemed necessary as a basis for
the opinions expressed below.
We have
examined the originals of the following documents, each of which is addressed to
the Lender or to which the Lender is a party (all of which are sometimes
collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”):
1. The
Loan Agreement;
2. The
Notes;
3. The
Guaranties;
4. The
Environmental Indemnity;
F-1
5. The
Mortgage; and
6. The
other Security Documents.
Based
upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
|
1.
|
Borrower
is a limited liability company and the Guarantor is a limited partnership,
both duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware. Borrower and Guarantor each have all
requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business
and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan
Documents.
|
|
2.
|
The
general partner of Guarantor is a corporation or trust duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The general partner of Guarantor has all requisite
power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to
deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan
Documents.
|
|
3.
|
The
execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Borrower of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary
action of the Borrower and Guarantor and does not (i) require any
consent or approval of any partner or shareholder of such entity or any
other person or entity excepting such consents or approvals as have
actually been obtained; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule,
or regulation of the United States or the State of Ohio, or any provision
of the limited liability company, partnership or corporate law presently
in effect having applicability to the Borrower or Guarantor or Guarantor’s
general partner, as applicable; (iii) violate any provision of the
operating agreement of the Borrower or the partnership agreement of the
Guarantor or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Guarantor’s
general partner; (iv) violate any presently existing statutory or
administrative provision or judicial decision applicable to the Borrower
or the Guarantor or its general partner; or (v) result in a breach
of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument affecting
the Borrower or the Guarantor or Guarantor’s general
partner.
|
|
4.
|
Each
Loan Document to which it is a party (a) has been properly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Guarantor,
(b) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the
Borrower and the Guarantor, and (c) is enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except that we express no opinion regarding the enforceability
of the Mortgage under Minnesota
law.
|
|
5.
|
To
our knowledge, no presently existing authorization, exemption, consent,
approval, license, or registration with any court or governmental
department, commission, bureau, agency, or instrumentality will be
necessary for the valid, binding, and enforceable execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower of the Loan
Documents.
|
|
6.
|
To
our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or
threatened against the Borrower or the Guarantor before any court or
governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Loan
Agreement).
|
F-2
|
7.
|
The
Loan Documents (other than the Mortgage) are governed by the laws of the
State of Ohio, and the Loan, including the interest rate reserved in the
applicable Note and all fees and charges paid or to be paid by or on
behalf of Borrower in connection with such Loan pursuant to the applicable
Loan Documents, is not in violation of the usury laws of the State of
Ohio.
|
The
opinions expressed herein are expressly made subject to and qualified by the
following:
(a) We
have assumed that the Loan Documents are duly authorized and validly executed
and delivered by the Agent, the Lenders and all other parties other than the
Borrower and the Guarantor.
(b) This
opinion is based upon existing laws, ordinances and regulations in effect as of
the date hereof.
(c) This
opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable federal law
and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other
jurisdiction.
(d) We
have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals
(other than the Loan Documents) and the conformity to original documents of all
documents (other than the Loan Documents) submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies.
(e) The
opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that: (i) the
enforceability of any rights or remedies in any agreement or instruments may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) the availability of
specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy is subject
to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This
opinion may be relied upon by only by the addressees hereof, its attorneys,
auditors, advisors, participants, and their respective successors and assigns,
and not by any other party.
Very
truly yours,

that insurer’s surplus and statutory reserves. Reinsurance must
be obtained by closing for any policy exceeding such
amount.
|
2.
|
Loan
Policy Forms. Standard 1992 American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) form
of loan title insurance policy, or the 1970 (amended October 17, 1970)
ALTA loan form policies must be
used.
|
3.
|
Insurance
Amount. The amount insured must equal at least the original principal
amount of the Loan.
|
4.
|
Named
Insured. The named insured under the Title Policy must be substantially
the same as the following: “KeyBank National Association, and its
respective successors and assigns, as administrative
agent.”
|
5.
|
Creditors’
Rights. Any “creditors’ rights” exception or other exclusion from coverage
for voidable transactions under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, or
other debtor protection laws or equitable principles must be removed by
either an endorsement or a written
waiver.
|
6.
|
Arbitration.
In the event that the form policy which is utilized includes a compulsory
arbitration provision, the insurer must agree that such compulsory
arbitration provisions do not apply to any claims by or on behalf of the
insured. Please note that the 1987 and 1992 ALTA form loan policies
include such provisions.
|
7.
|
Date
of Policy. The effective date of the Title Policy must be as of the date
and time of the closing.
|
8.
|
Legal
Description. The legal description of the property contained in the Title
Policy must conform to (a) the legal description shown on the survey of
the property, and (b) the legal description contained in the Mortgage. In
any event, the Title Policy must be endorsed to provide that the insured
legal description is the same as that shown on the
survey.
|
9.
|
Easements.
Each Title Policy shall insure, as separate parcels: (a) all appurtenant
easements and other estates benefiting the property, and (b) all other

and agreements containing covenants, conditions, and restrictions relating
to the Collateral Asset.
|
10.
|
Exceptions
to Coverage. With respect to the exceptions, the following
applies:
|
|
a)
|
Each
Title Policy shall afford the broadest coverage available in the state in
which the Collateral Asset is
located.
|
Schedule
6 - Page 1
|
b)
|
The
“standard” exceptions (such as for parties in possession or other matters
not shown on public records) must be
deleted.
|
|
c)
|
The
“standard” exception regarding tenants in possession under residential
leases, should also be deleted. For commercial properties, a rent roll
should be attached in lieu of the general
exception.
|
|
d)
|
The
standard survey exception to the Title Policy must be deleted. Instead, a
survey reading reflecting the current survey should be
incorporated.
|
|
e)
|
Any
exception for taxes, assessments, or other lienable items must expressly
insure that such taxes, assessments, or other items are not yet due and
payable.
|
|
f)
|
Any
lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement of record must be
listed in the Title Policy, and the Title Policy must affirmatively insure
that the improvements do not encroach upon the insured easements or insure
against all loss or damage due to such
encroachment
|
|
g)
|
The
Title Policy may not contain any exception for any filed or unfiled
mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.
|
|
h)
|
In
the event that a comprehensive endorsement has been issued and any
Schedule B exceptions continue to be excluded from the coverage provided
through that endorsement, then a determination must be made whether such
exceptions would be acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In
the event that it is determined that such exception is acceptable, a
written explanation regarding the acceptability must be submitted as part
of the delivery of the loan
documents.
|
If
Schedule B indicates the presence of any easements that are not located on the
survey, the Title Policy must provide affirmative insurance against any loss
resulting from the exercise by the holder of such easement of its right to use
or maintain that easement. ALTA Form 103.1 or an equivalent endorsement is
required for this purpose.
1.
|
Endorsements.
With respect to endorsements, the following
applies:
|
|
a)
|
Each
Title Policy must include an acceptable environmental protection lien
endorsement on ALTA Form 8.1. Please note that Form 8.1 may take exception
for an entire statute which contains one or more specific sections under
which environmental protection liens could take priority over the
Mortgage; provided, however, that such specific sections under which the
lien could arise must also be
referenced.
|
|
b)
|
Each
Title Policy must contain an endorsement which provides that the insured
legal description is the same as shown on the
survey.
|
|
c)
|
Each
Title Policy must contain a comprehensive endorsement (ALTA Form 9) if a
