2.3.1 Options.
(a) The NMLP Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted Prime Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”, except that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” with respect to portions of the NMLP Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect.
(b) The T-Two Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted Prime Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”, except that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” with respect to portions of the T-Two Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect.
(c) For each disbursement of proceeds of the Loan, each Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent facsimile confirmation or electronic mail confirmation within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice) of the requested amount of such disbursement (x) if such disbursement is to bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the second Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement and (y) if such disbursement is to bear interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement.
(d) Commencing September 1, 2005, each Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on the first day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid on the respective Loan. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to a Borrower’s account only if received by 12:00 noon Eastern Time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
2.3.2 Election. Provided that no Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Rate Option”) to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate.
4
2.3.3 Notice. The only manner in which a Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that such Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent facsimile confirmation in the form of Exhibit S attached hereto within twenty-four (24) hours) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which such Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of $1,000,000.00. At no time may there be more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the NMLP Loan, and six (6) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the T-Two Loan. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which a Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate with a LIBOR Rate Interest Period of one-month (the “One-Month LIBOR Rate”), as of the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless the Borrower again exercises the LIBOR Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to notify either Borrower that the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate to the One-Month LIBOR Rate.
2.3.4 Determination. If Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which a Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, to the extent that such Lender makes such determination generally with respect to its borrowers who borrow funds at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate, Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by a Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period.
5
2.3.5 Accrual. Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.
2.3.6 Breakage. Each Borrower shall pay any amounts provided for in Section 2.3.15, including, without limitation, Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent.
2.3.7 Change in Law. If the introduction of or any change in any law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then, to the extent that such Lender makes such determination generally with respect to its borrowers who borrow funds at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate, (1) Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (3) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate, and (4) the Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent any amounts provided for in Section 2.3.15, including, without limitation, Breakage Costs (if any) incurred by such Lender in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, a Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by a Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written demand of a Borrower, the Borrower may with thirty (30) days written notice to the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender unable to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate pursuant to this Section to sell and assign its entire interest in the Loan pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof to any Eligible Assignee identified by the Borrower in its demand and reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, upon payment by such Eligible Assignee of the entire par amount of such Lender’s interest in the Loan and all accrued interest thereon, plus any amounts provided for in Section 2.3.15, including, without limitation, any applicable Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable to such Lender.

(2) Second, the amount of the Mandatory Principal Payment, less the payment required by subsection (1) above, that is otherwise payable as set forth above, provided however, that in determining such payment, NMLP shall be entitled to receive a return of the cash equity (exclusive of the amount of any Reinvestment Funds) invested by NMLP in such Acquired Individual Asset, prior to calculating the Net Proceeds, Net Sales Proceeds or Net Refinancing Proceeds, as applicable.
Any NMLP Mandatory Principal Prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding principal balance due under the NMLP Loan, and then to the principal obligations outstanding under the NMLP T-Two Guaranty, if any, in each instance in inverse order of maturity.

(d) Reinvestment. NMLP shall have the option to notify the Administrative Agent that NMLP intends to hold for potential reinvestment in an Acquired Individual Asset certain proceeds (the “Reinvestment Funds”) of a capital event with respect to an Individual Property that would otherwise be required to be the subject of a payment under Section 2.3.8(b) above. In lieu of making the payment required by Section 2.3.8(b) above, the Reinvestment Funds will be deposited in a designated account with the Administrative Agent (the “Reinvestment Account”), which account shall be pledged to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to be released to NMLP to provide funding for the acquisition of an Acquired Individual Asset on the following conditions:
(i) No Default is then in existence;
(ii) NMLP shall provide the Administrative Agent with pro forma financial calculations evidencing that after giving effect to the proposed investment of the Reinvestment Funds and the resulting cash flow (and debt service, as applicable), the pro forma Consolidated Debt Service Coverage shall be equal to or greater than the coverage prior to the consummation of the capital event which produced the Reinvestment Funds;
(iii) NMLP shall provide the Administrative Agent with pro forma financial calculations evidencing that after giving effect to the proposed investment of the Reinvestment Funds and any Debt to be incurred in connection therewith, as applicable, the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be equal to or less than the Consolidated Leverage Ratio prior to the consummation of the capital event which produced the Reinvestment Funds.
(iv) NMLP shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.1.23 below with respect to the acquisition of any such Acquired Individual Asset.

12
Notwithstanding the above, upon the request of NMLP in the event of a proposed tax free exchange in connection the sale of an Individual Property, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may grant a waiver of the foregoing limitations such that the subject Reinvestment Funds may be kept with a third party intermediary consistent with the requirements of a tax free exchange; provided, however, in connection therewith, the funds so held shall continue to be Reinvestment Funds and any property purchased in such exchange must be compliance with the requirements of Sections 7.1.23(j) and 8.1.25.
2.3.9 Prepayment. Except for the payment of any applicable Prepayment Fee, as hereinafter provided, the Loans or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full or in part at any time upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice from the respective Borrower to the Administrative Agent, without premium or penalty with respect to Adjusted Prime Rate Advances and, with respect to Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advances subject to the payment of any additional amounts provided for in Section 2.3.15. Any Mandatory Principal Prepayment and any other partial prepayment of principal shall first be applied to the principal due in the reverse order of maturity, and no such partial prepayment shall relieve the subject Borrower of the obligation to pay each installment of principal when due. Any amounts prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(a) Each Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (solely with respect to any prepayment on the respective Loan of the subject Borrower) a “Prepayment Fee” (so referred to herein) as follows, which Prepayment Fee shall be due with respect to any prepayments in the aggregate as to both Loans:
(i) with respect to any and all prepayments made on or before August 11, 2006, the subject Borrower shall pay a Prepayment Fee of one and one percent (1.0%) of the principal amount so prepaid; and
(ii) with respect to any and all prepayments made after August 11, 2006, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Fee.
(b) Any applicable Prepayment Fee shall be payable in respect of all prepayments of principal whether voluntary or involuntary including, without limitation, prepayments made upon acceleration of the subject Loan; provided, however, no Prepayment Fee shall be due in connection with (x) any Mandatory Principal Prepayments, unless such payment is part of a related series of transactions to repay the Loan in full or (y) any prepayments made from Excess Cash Flow. If, by reason of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent elects to declare either Loan to be immediately due and payable, then any applicable Prepayment Fee with respect to the Loan shall become due and payable in the same manner as though such Borrower had exercised such right of prepayment.
2.3.10 Maturity. At maturity all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loans shall be due and payable in full and the
13
principal balance and such other charges, but not unpaid interest, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until so paid.
2.3.11 Method of Payment; Date of Credit. All payments of interest, principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments: (a) by direct charge to an account of each Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent or the Deposit Account Co-Agent (or the then holder of the Loans), (b) by wire transfer to Administrative Agent, (c) to such other bank or address as the Administrative Agent may designate in a written notice to the Borrowers, or (d) as provided in the Cash Management Agreement. Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to ten o’clock A.M. Eastern Time; payments received after ten o’clock A.M. Eastern Time shall be credited to the Loan on the next Business Day. Payments which are by check, which Administrative Agent may at its option accept or reject, or which are not in the form of immediately available funds shall not be credited to the Loan until such funds become immediately available to Administrative Agent, and, with respect to payments by check, such credit shall be provisional until the item is finally paid by the payor bank.
2.3.12 Xxxxxxxx. Administrative Agent may submit monthly xxxxxxxx reflecting payments due to the applicable Borrower; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month. Neither the failure of Administrative Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse either Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of such Borrower’s payment obligations when due.
2.3.13 Default Rate. Administrative Agent shall have the option of imposing, and shall impose at the direction of the Required Lenders, and the subject Borrower shall pay upon billing therefor, an interest rate which is four and one half percent (4.5%) per annum above the Adjusted Prime Rate (“Default Rate”): (a) following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and (b) after Maturity. Each Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease following and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
2.3.14 Late Charges. Each Borrower shall pay (solely with respect to such Borrower’s respective Loan), upon billing therefor, a “Late Charge” equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any regularly scheduled payment of principal (other than principal due at Maturity or any Mandatory Principal Prepayment), interest, or both, which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof (other than with respect to any payment as to which the said ten (10) day period expires after the implementation of the Default Rate). Late charges are: (a) except as provided above, payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate Administrative Agent for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments, (c) are not interest, and (d) shall not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.
14
2.3.15 Prepayment Costs. Each Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (solely with respect to such Borrower’s respective Loan), immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, as determined in the conclusive judgment of Administrative Agent (in the absence of manifest error), compensate Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the loss, cost, expense, or administrative cost, including the cost of re-employing funds bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, which they have incurred or may reasonably incur as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance to a Adjusted Prime Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of a Loan which was to have borne interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate pursuant to the request of Borrower to be made under the Loan Agreement (except as a result of a failure by any Lender to fulfill such Lender’s obligations to fund), or (iv) the failure of such Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request submitted by it for an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance (the “Breakage Costs”).
2.4 Loan Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fees.
2.4.1 Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account an “Administrative Agent’s Fee” in accordance with the written agreement between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
2.4.2 Extension Fees. Each Borrower (solely with respect to such Borrower’s respective Loan) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders “Extension Fees” (so referred to herein) in amounts representing one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the Maturity Date (and at the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable), on each occasion, in connection with such Borrower’s exercise of its extension rights, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, in each instance, as provided in Section 2.6.
2.5 Acceleration. The Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, accelerate the applicable Loans, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon such an acceleration, all principal, accrued interest and costs and expenses shall be due and payable together with interest on such principal at the Default Rate and any applicable Prepayment Fee and any amounts due under Section 2.3.15.
2.6 Conditions to Extending Loan. Upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions, each Borrower may extend its respective Loan until the First Extended Maturity Date, and thereafter, again upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions, each Borrower may further extend its respective Loan until the Second Extended Maturity Date:
15
2.6.1 No Default. No Default with respect to such Borrower shall exist on the date of such Borrower’s written notice for an extension as provided for below and on the Maturity Date (or as may be applicable, the First Extended Maturity Date).
2.6.2 Notice From Borrowers. Such Borrower shall have given Administrative Agent written notice of its request to exercise its extension right at least forty-five (45) days, but no more than ninety (90) days, before the Maturity Date (or as may be applicable, the First Extended Maturity Date).
2.6.3 Covenant Compliance. No breach of any covenants imposed upon such Borrower or Guarantor shall exist including, without limitation, the Financial Covenants;
2.6.4 Exercise of Remainder Ground Lease Options and Ground Lease Extension Options. NMLP shall have, or shall have caused the applicable NMLP Subsidiary to, timely duly exercise all Remainder Ground Lease Options and Ground Lease Extension Options as to which the final date to exercise such Remainder Ground Lease Options and Ground Lease Extension Options is within thirteen months of the Maturity Date (or with respect to any extension of the Loan for the Second Extended Term, within thirteen months of the First Extended Maturity Date) (as of the Closing Date, the applicable Remainder Ground Lease Options and Ground Lease Extension Options are listed on Schedule 2.6.4);
2.6.5 Conditions Satisfied. All of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 of this Agreement, to the extent applicable to the subject Loan being extended, shall continue to be satisfied;
2.6.6 Extension Fee. The Extension Fee of 0.25% of the subject Loan being extended referred to in Section 2.4 shall have been paid at least five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date (or as may be applicable, the First Extended Maturity Date) and shall be returned to the subject Borrower if the Loan is not extended for any reason;
2.6.7 Additional Documents. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent such agreements and documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to effectuate the extension, provided, however, none of said requested agreements or documents shall provide for additional collateral or include any substantive modification of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents;
2.6.8 Interest Rate Protection. The applicable Borrower shall have entered into an Interest Rate Agreement, in an amount, from an issuer and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the subject Loan, which Interest Rate Agreement shall be collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to secure the Loan being extended; and
16

Within twenty (20) days following receipt by Administrative Agent of a Borrower’s written notice under clause 2.6.2 above requesting the extension accompanied by the items described in Section 2.6, Administrative Agent shall notify the subject Borrower in writing if all of the conditions precedent to the extension, other than payment of the extension fee, have been satisfied, or if further information or documents set forth in Section 2.6 are required, specifying such missing information or documents. If Administrative Agent determines that the conditions to extension have been satisfied (or if the Administrative Agent notified the Borrower as provided above of any outstanding information or documents required by this Section 2.6, specifying such missing information or documents, and such Borrower provides outstanding information or documents prior to ten (10) days before the Maturity Date (or as may be applicable, the First Extended Maturity Date)), other than payment of the Extension Fee, Administrative Agent shall so notify such Borrower and upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Extension Fee not later than five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date (or as may be applicable, the First Extended Maturity Date), so long as no Default exists, the term of the subject Loan shall be extended until the First Extended Maturity Date (or as may be applicable, the Second Extended Maturity Date).
2.7 Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate Selection.
2.7.1 Increased Costs. Each Borrower recognizes that the cost to any Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, to the extent that such Lender makes such determination generally with respect to similarly situated borrowers, each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent additional amounts to compensate any such Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from a Borrower as a result of:
(a) any change after the date hereof in any applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to any Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of Lenders or franchise taxes), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by any Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof) (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be charged again the Reserve Percentage already accounted for in the definition of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (C) imposing on any Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from a Borrower by any Lender under the Loan Documents; or
17
(b) the maintenance by any Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written demand of Borrower, the Borrower may with thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender whose costs of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof has increased as provided for in this Section 2.7.1 to sell and assign its entire interest in the Loan pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof to any Eligible Assignee identified by the Borrower in its demand and reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, upon payment by such Eligible Assignee of the entire par amount of such Lender’s interest in the Loan and all accrued interest thereon, plus any compensation required to be paid hereunder and any amounts provided for in Section 2.3.15, including, without limitation, any applicable Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable to such Lender.
2.7.2 Capital Adequacy. If the application of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, to the extent that such Lender requires such compensation generally with respect to similarly situated borrowers, from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written demand of Borrower, the Borrower may with thirty (30) days written notice to the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender to whom compensation is due and payable by the Borrower as provided for in this Section 2.7.2 to sell and assign its entire interest in the Loan pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof to any Eligible Assignee identified by the Borrower in its demand and reasonably approved by the Agent, upon payment by such Eligible Assignee of the entire par amount of such Lender’s interest in the Loan and all accrued interest thereon, plus any compensation required to be paid hereunder and any amounts provided for in Section 2.3.15, including, without limitation, any applicable Breakage Costs and all other amounts payable to such Lender.
Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection 2.7.1 or 2.7.2 above shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Administrative
18
Agent setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Administrative Agent to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection 2.7.1 or 2.7.2 above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Administrative Agent so to notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.
2.7.3 Payments Net of Taxes.
(a) All payments and prepayments of principal and interest under this Agreement shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed upon or as a result of such payment by any political subdivision or taxing authority of any jurisdiction in which each Borrower is organized or doing business (“Withholding Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Withholding Taxes is required by law. In that event, the subject Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that every net payment made hereunder, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Withholding Taxes, will not be less than the amount to be paid hereunder, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge:
(i) that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Withholding Taxes including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender having engaged in a trade or business therein, or having or having had a permanent establishment therein (other than the mere ownership of a participation in the Loan or mere receipt of payment under this Agreement);
(ii) that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender to comply with income tax laws and regulations of any such jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, if such compliance is required to establish entitlement to an exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
(iii) that is based on the net income of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender and would not have been imposed but for the mere ownership of a participation in the Loan or the mere receipt of payment under this Agreement;
19
(iv) to which any person that is a transferee of the Administrative Agent or any Lender is subject immediately following the transfer or to which such transferee will become subject under a tax law, regulation or other legal pronouncement or holding that has been enacted, issued or announced as of the date of the transfer, in either case except to the extent that the transferor was or would have become subject to such Withholding Taxes;
(v) any combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above (the Withholding Taxes described in clauses (i) through (iv) for which no additional amounts are payable, are hereinafter referred to as (“Excluded Taxes”)).
(b) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States (a “Foreign Lender”) shall provide to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to exemption from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender hereunder (“Certificates of Exemption”). Each Foreign Lender shall provide such Certificates of Exemption on or before the Closing Date, and shall provide Certificates of Exemption on or before the first business day of each taxable year of such Foreign Lender thereafter. Each Foreign Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 after the Closing Date shall provide Certificates of Exemption on or before the date such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender and on or before the first business day of each taxable year of such Foreign Lender thereafter. Each Foreign Lender further agrees to provide each Borrower and the Administrative Agent with new Certificates of Exemption (x) upon the obsolescence of any letter, form, certificate or document previously delivered by the Foreign Lender to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereunder or (y) promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the status of the Foreign Lender or in any of the other information provided on the most recent letter, form, certificate or document previously delivered by the Foreign Lender to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent hereunder. If either Borrower shall provide written notice to the Foreign Lender that new Certificates of Exemption are required, and if the Foreign Lender does not submit them within (30) days following the receipt of such notice and if the failure to do so increases the amount such Borrower otherwise must pay to or on behalf of the Foreign Lender, then such Borrower is relieved of the liability to pay the Foreign Lender the increased amount caused solely by such Foreign Lender’s failure to provide such Certificates and shall be permitted to deduct the increased withholding tax from the payment due to such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (iii), each Borrower will remain liable to the Foreign Lender for all amounts not caused by such Foreign Lender’s failure to provide new Certificates of Exemption.
20
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Foreign Lender that originally provided Certificates of Exemption indicating that such Foreign Lender was exempt from United States withholding tax thereafter ceases to qualify for such exemption, each Borrower shall be obligated for the payment of its allowable portion of all Withholding Taxes resulting from such subsequent non-exemption, but the Borrowers shall have the right to require such Foreign Lender to assign its pro rata share of the Loan (including its pro rata share of the interest accrued thereon) to one or more Eligible Assignees identified by such Borrower at a purchase price equal to the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest, costs, and fees (to the date of purchase) on such Foreign Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan. Until such Foreign Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan is assigned to an Eligible Assignee, such Foreign Lender, if eligible for a partial exemption from or a reduction in the rate of United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender hereunder, shall provide to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to said partial exemption or reduction (“Certificates of Partial Exemption”), and the provisions of (iii) above shall continue to apply to such Foreign Lender substituting the words “Certificates of Partial Exemption” for “Certificates of Exemption” in (iii) above.
2.7.4 Adjusted Prime Rate Advances. Each Adjusted Prime Rate Advance shall continue as a Adjusted Prime Rate Advance until Maturity of the Loan, unless sooner converted, in whole or in part, to an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2.8.1 Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate Agreement entered into by a Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lenders of the proceeds of the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.
2.8.2 Each Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders any and all Interest Rate Agreement purchased or to be purchased by Borrower in connection with the Loan, as additional security for the Loan, and agrees to provide Lenders with any additional documentation reasonably requested by Lenders in order to confirm or perfect such security interest during the term of the Loan. If a Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Agreement from a party other than Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Lenders such third party’s consent to such collateral assignment. No Interest Rate Agreement purchased from a third party may be secured by an interest in either Borrower or the Collateral.
21
2.8.3 Borrower shall, as a condition to the opening of the Loan, institute an interest rate hedging program through the purchase of an Interest Rate Agreement with respect to $250,000,000.00 of the Loan, to be apportioned between the NMLP Loan and the T-Two Loan by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. The Interest Rate Agreement, and the financial institution providing the Interest Rate Agreement, shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written approval in its reasonable discretion. Borrower shall afford Administrative Agent a right of first opportunity to provide all Interest Rate Agreement but shall not be required to purchase such Interest Rate Agreement from Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Without relieving the Administrative Agent of its specific responsibilities under this Article 13, the Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder or under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
13.1.4 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by either Borrower or any of its officers or agents contained in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection therewith; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in, or the conditions of, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) the state or condition of any properties of a Borrower or any other obligor hereunder constituting Collateral for the Obligations of either Borrower hereunder, or any information contained in the books or records of either Borrower; (iv) the validity, enforceability, collectibility, effectiveness or genuineness of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other certificate, document or instrument furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the validity, priority or perfection of any lien securing or purporting to secure any Obligations or the value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral.
13.1.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without, limitation, counsel to each Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of the taking or failing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
121
in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with any written request of the Required Lenders, and each such request of the Required Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act by the Administrative Agent pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required in any event to act, or to refrain from acting, in any manner which is contrary to the Loan Documents or to applicable law.
13.1.6 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 unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the same or has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Loan Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.
13.1.7 Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on the financial statements prepared by each Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of each Borrower and has made its own decision to enter into this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not conditions precedent to closing any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
13.1.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments, for (i) any amounts not reimbursed by a Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by a Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, waiver and/or enforcement of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may imposed on, incurred by or
122
asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or any transaction contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
13.1.9 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and any Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with each Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate of either Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
13.1.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and each Borrower. The Required Lenders, for cause, may remove Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ giving notice of removal, as the case may be, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of each Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Each such successor Administrative Agent shall be a financial institution which meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 13 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder.
123
13.1.11 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of any Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request, or may, upon the consent, of the Required Lenders, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents respecting the foreclosure, the sale, or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Required Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Collateral securing any of the Obligations, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Notes, other than through the Administrative Agent.
13.2 Respecting Loans and Payments.
13.2.1 Procedures for Loans. Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each Lender of each request for a Loan, or conversion of an existing Loan from a Adjusted Prime Rate Advance to an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance, by facsimile transmission, hand delivery or overnight courier, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) (i) two (2) Business Days prior to any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance or conversion to an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Advance, or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to any Adjusted Prime Rate Advance. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a written summary of the request for a Loan and shall specify (a) the date of the requested Loan, (b) the aggregate amount of the requested Loan, (c) each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Loan, and (d) the applicable interest rate selected by the subject Borrower with respect to such Loan, or any portion thereof, together with the applicable Interest Period, if any, selected, or deemed selected, by such Borrower. Each Lender shall, before
124
11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the date set forth in any such request for a Loan, make available to Administrative Agent, at an account to be designated by Administrative Agent at KEYBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION in Boston, Massachusetts, in same day funds, each Lender’s ratable portion of the requested Loan. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon Administrative Agent’s determination that the applicable conditions to making the requested Loan have been fulfilled, Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to such Borrower as provided for in this Loan Agreement. Within a reasonable period of time following the making of each Loan, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following such Loan, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of such Borrower’s request for Loan. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of written request from any Lender, Administrative Agent shall deliver to the requesting Lender the accompanying certifications and such other instruments, documents, certifications and approvals delivered by or on behalf of such Borrower to Administrative Agent in support of the requested Loan.
13.2.2 Nature of Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill that its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan, nor shall such failure release or diminish the obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided herein. The full proceeds of each Loan shall be funded on the Funding Date.
13.2.3 Payments to Administrative Agent. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans or the Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent by the subject Borrower or any other obligor or guarantor for the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in the Note and this Loan Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, including, without limitation, as set forth under Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender, on the same Business Day upon which each such payment is made, such Lender’s proportionate share of each such payment in immediately available funds excluding Liquidation Proceeds which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 13.2.4 below. The Administrative Agent shall upon each distribution promptly notify such Borrower of such distribution and each Lender of the amounts distributed to it applicable to principal of, and interest on, the proportionate share held by the applicable Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent under the first sentence of this Section shall constitute a payment by the subject Borrower to each Lender in all cases in accordance with their proportional share based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and any such payment to the Administrative Agent shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose after the date of such payment by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent without regard to whether or when the Administrative Agent makes distribution thereof as provided above. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower is insufficient to pay both all accrued interest and all principal then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall first apply such payment to all
125
outstanding interest until paid in full and shall then apply the remainder of such payment to all principal then due and owing, and shall distribute the payment to each Lender accordingly.
13.2.4 Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall distribute all Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:
First: To the Administrative Agent, towards any fees and any expenses for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents not theretofore paid to the Administrative Agent.
Second: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been reimbursed for all expenses which such Lenders have previously paid to the Administrative Agent and not theretofore paid to such Lenders.
Third: On a pari passu basis, (a) to KEYBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (or any successor thereto) with respect to the Obligations specifically arising on account of any Interest Rate Agreement, if issued by KEYBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION and (b) to all Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all principal and interest due to such Lenders under the Loans in order of priority as between the Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent, with each Lender applying such proceeds for purposes of this Agreement against the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest due to such Lender under the Loans in such fashion and priority as the Administrative Agent may reasonably direct.
Fourth: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Loans including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Fifth: To a Borrower or such third parties as may be entitled to claim Liquidation Proceeds.
13.2.5 Adjustments. If, after Administrative Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by Administrative Agent in respect of either Loan and other Obligations, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Administrative Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share
126
of such payment or application to Administrative Agent, together with the Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application.
13.2.6 Setoff. If any Lender (including the Administrative Agent), acting in its individual capacity, shall exercise any right of setoff against a deposit balance or other account of either Borrower held by such Lender on account of the obligations of such Borrower under this Loan Agreement, such Lender shall remit to the Administrative Agent all such sums received pursuant to the exercise of such right of setoff, and the Administrative Agent shall apply all such sums for the benefit of all of the Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement.
13.2.7 Distribution by Administrative Agent. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under either Note or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
13.2.8 Delinquent Lender. If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Loan Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loans, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, other Lenders, each Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from each Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be
127
restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by Administrative Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
13.2.9 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender designated in the Register as the proportionate owner of such interest in the Note for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any designated interest in the Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such interest in the Notes or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
13.3 Assignment and Participation.
13.3.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of each of the Loans at the time owing to it and the portion of the Notes held by it), upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) each of the Administrative Agent and each Borrower shall have given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by either the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers (provided that, in the case of the Borrowers, such consent shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and provided, further, such consent shall not be required from either the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with any assignment as to which (i) the assignee is an existing Lender (other than a Delinquent Lender) or (ii) an Affiliate or a Related Fund of the assigning Lender); (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the

133
notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) calendar days of such Lender’s receipt of such notice.

ARTICLE 14
CASUALTY AND TAKING
14.1 Casualty or Taking; Obligation To Repair. In the event of the occurrence of a loss, casualty or taking as to any Individual Property, Borrower shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and as to any Individual Property owned by NMLP Partnership, unless the Mandatory Principal Repayment provided for in Section 2.3.8(b)(vii) has been paid, shall proceed with reasonable diligence, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and the other requirements of the Loan Documents, to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the affected Mortgaged Property (each, the “Repair Work”).
14.2 Adjustment of Claims. All insurance claims or condemnation or similar awards shall be adjusted or settled by Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, but subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written approval for any Mortgaged Property, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to participate in any adjustment or settlement for any Mortgaged Property with respect to which the Net Proceeds in the aggregate are equal to or greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and (ii) if any Event of Default exists under any of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the right to adjust, settle, and compromise such claims without the approval of Borrower.
14.3 Payment and Application of Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards.
14.3.1 As to any Individual Property which is not subject to any Mortgage Debt, all Net Proceeds shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and, at the Administrative Agent’s option, except as otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied to Borrower’s Obligations as provided in Section 2.3.8 or released, in whole or in part, to pay for the actual cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding or replacement (collectively, “Cost To Repair”). If any Net Proceeds are received directly by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall hold such Net
134
Proceeds in trust for the Administrative Agent and shall promptly deliver such Net Proceeds in kind to the Administrative Agent.
14.3.2 Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if the Net Proceeds do not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), provided no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, the Administrative Agent shall release the Net Proceeds to pay for the actual Cost to Repair and the applicable Loan Party shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion, the Repair Work relative to the subject Mortgaged Property, with any excess being retained by the applicable Loan Party.
14.3.3 Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than One Million dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Administrative Agent shall release so much of the Net Proceeds as may be required to pay for the actual Cost To Repair in accordance the limitations and procedures set forth in Section 14.4, if the following conditions are satisfied in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent:
(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents;
(b) in the Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment such Net Proceeds together with any additional funds as may be deposited with and pledged to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, are sufficient to pay for the Cost To Repair. In order to make this determination, the Administrative Agent shall be furnished by the Borrower with an estimate of the Cost to Repair accompanied by an independent architect’s or engineer’s certification as to such Cost to Repair and appropriate plans and specifications for the Repair Work;
(c) in the Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment, the Repair Work can reasonably be completed on or before the time required under applicable Legal Requirements; and
(d) the Lease with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall remain in full force and effect and shall require the repair and reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property.
14.4 Conditions To Release of Insurance Proceeds. If the Administrative Agent elects or is required to release insurance proceeds, the Administrative Agent may impose reasonable conditions on such release which shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
14.4.1 Prior written approval by the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed of plans, specifications, cost estimates, contracts and bonds for the Repair Work;
135
14.4.2 Waivers of lien, architect’s and/or engineer’s certificates, and other evidence of costs, payments and completion as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require;
14.4.3 The funds shall be released upon final completion of the Repair Work, unless Borrower requests earlier funding, in which event partial monthly disbursements equal to 90% of the costs of the work completed prior to the certification by an independent architect or engineer retained by the Administrative Agent, that the Repair Work is completed, and then upon final completion of the Repair Work as certified by such independent architect or engineer, and the receipt by the Administrative Agent of satisfactory evidence of payment and release of all liens, the balance of the funds shall be released;
14.4.4 Determination by the Administrative Agent that the undisbursed balance of such Net Proceeds on deposit with the Administrative Agent, together with additional funds deposited for the purpose, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the remaining Cost To Repair, free and clear of all Liens and claims for Lien;
14.4.5 All work to comply with the Legal Requirements applicable to the construction of the Improvements; and
14.4.6 The absence of any Default under any Loan Documents.
14.5 Consultant. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to hire, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, consultants and advisors (each, a “Lender’s Consultant”) to assist the Administrative Agent in the determination of the satisfaction of the conditions provided for herein for the release of the Net Proceeds, to pay the Costs to Repair and to periodically inspect the status of the construction of any Repair Work.
14.6 Excess. In the event that the Administrative Agent makes any Net Proceeds available to any Loan Party for the payment of Costs to Repair as provided for herein, upon the completion of the Repair Work as certified by the applicable Lender’s Consultant and if there is no Lender’s Consultant, an independent architect or engineer retained by the Borrower, and receipt by Administrative Agent of satisfactory evidence of payment and release of all liens, any excess Net Proceeds still held by the Administrative Agent shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing for application to the Borrower’s obligations under Section 2.3.8.
14.7 Leases. The terms and provisions of this Article 14 shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and provisions of any Lease or Mortgage Debt which remains in full force and effect under which the repair or reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property is required.

141
15.9 Claims Against Administrative Agent or Lenders.
15.9.1 Borrower Must Notify. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of such Borrower shall have been given to Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders within thirty (30) days after the subject Borrower first had actual Knowledge or actual notice of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, with reasonable promptness thereafter. Such actual Knowledge or actual notice shall refer to what was actually known by, or expressed in a written notification furnished to, any of the persons or officials referred to in Exhibit D as Authorized Representatives.
15.9.2 Remedies. If it is determined by the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, which is not subject to further appeal, that Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders has breached any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and has not remedied or cured the same with reasonable promptness following notice thereof, Administrative Agent’s and each of the Lenders’ responsibilities shall be limited to: (i) where the breach consists of the failure to grant consent or give approval in violation of the terms and requirements of a Loan Document, the obligation to grant such consent or give such approval and to pay such Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings; and (ii) the case of any such failure to grant such consent or give such approval, or in the case of any other such default by Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, where it is also so determined that Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders acted in bad faith, the payment of any actual, direct, compensatory damages sustained by such Borrower as a result thereof plus such Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings.
15.9.3 Limitations. In no event, however, shall Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders be liable to either Borrower or to any Loan Party or anyone else for other damages such as, but not limited to, indirect, speculative, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages whatever the nature of the breach by Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of its obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders be liable to either Borrower or to any Loan Party or anyone else unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of such Borrower shall have been given to Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders within the time period specified above.
15.10 Regarding Consents. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, any and all consents to be made hereunder by the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders, or Lenders shall be in the discretion of the party to whom consent rights are given hereunder.
15.11 Obligations Absolute. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, the Obligations of each Borrower and the obligations of each Guarantor and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall be joint and several, absolute,
142
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which either Borrower or any Loan Party may have at any time against the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders whether in connection with the Loan or any unrelated transaction.
15.12 Table of Contents, Title and Headings. Any Table of Contents, the titles and the headings of sections are not parts of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of its or their provisions.
15.13 Counterparts. This Loan Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

15.14 Satisfaction of Commitment. The Loan being made pursuant to the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents is being made in satisfaction of Administrative Agent’s and each of the Lenders’ obligations under the terms sheet dated June 10, 2005.

15.15 Time Of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.
15.16 No Oral Change. This Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may only be amended, terminated, extended or otherwise modified by a writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought (except no such writing shall be required for any party which, pursuant to a specific provision of any Loan Document, is required to be bound by changes without such party’s assent). In no event shall any oral agreements, promises, actions, inactions, knowledge, course of conduct, course of dealings or the like be effective to amend, terminate, extend or otherwise modify this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
15.17 Monthly Statements. While Administrative Agent may issue invoices or other statements on a monthly or periodic basis (a “Statement”), it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that: (i) the failure of Administrative Agent to issue any Statement on one or more occasions shall not affect either Borrower’s obligations to make payments under the Loan Documents as and when due; (ii) the inaccuracy of any Statement shall not be binding upon Lenders and so Borrower shall always remain obligated to pay the full amount(s) required under the Loan Documents as and when due notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Statement; (iii) all Statements are issued for information purposes only and shall never constitute any type of offer, acceptance, modification, or waiver of the Loan Documents or any of Lenders’ rights or remedies thereunder; and (iv) in no event shall any Statement serve as the basis for, or a component of, any course of dealing, course of conduct, or trade practice which would modify, alter, or otherwise affect the express written terms of the Loan Documents.
