The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the Borrower set forth in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied on the date of such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower or participate in Letter of Credit Liabilities in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the lesser of the amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Commitments and the principal face amount of its Revolving Credit Note.

(b) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to each Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below.

The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.

Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of Swing Loans and Letters of Credit. Within five (5) days of the effective date of any such reduction or termination, upon receipt of an invoice from Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated.

§2.5 Swing Loan Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (a) the Total Commitment and (b) the Borrowing Base Availability, or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is reasonably satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. Swing Loans shall constitute “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless the Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within one (1) Business Day of demand by Agent but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d)) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided. A Swing Loan may not be refinanced with another Swing Loan.

(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due.

(c) The Borrower may request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche B Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 4:00 p.m. (Cleveland time).

(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) on the Business Day of the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, the Agent shall notify the Lenders that such Revolving Credit Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan that is a Tranche B Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such LIBOR Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a LIBOR Rate Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in §§12.1(g), 12.1(h) or 12.1(i) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than one (1) Business Day after the date such request was made by the Swing Loan Lender just as if the Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.

(e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.

(g) Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of REIT or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and the Swing Loan Lender as against such Lender as a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Lender, thereby making such Lender a Defaulting Lender. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Lender under its Commitment.

§2.6 Interest on Loans.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan that is a Tranche A Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche A Loans.

(b) Each LIBOR Rate Loan that is a Tranche A Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche A Loans.

(c) Each Base Rate Loan that is a Tranche B Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche B Loans.

(d) Each LIBOR Rate Loan that is a Tranche B Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche B Loans.

(e) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

(f) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.

§2.7 Requests for Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan, whether such Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan, and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9). Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans relating to Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at any one time.

§2.8 Funds for Loans.

(a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loans, each of the Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §§10 and 11, §2.11 (if applicable) and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Loans made available to the Agent by the Lenders, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its applicable Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%).

§2.9 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely for (a) payment of closing costs in connection with this Agreement, (b) repayment of Indebtedness, (c) making investments in whole Mortgage Loans secured by Self-Storage Properties throughout the United States, (d) acquiring Self-Storage Properties throughout the United States, (e) making other secured or unsecured loans to borrowers for pursuit and diligence costs in connection with the acquisition of Self-Storage Properties so long as making such loan would not cause a Default or Event of Default, (f) making loans secured by pledges of equity interests or other collateral so long as making such loan would not cause a Default or Event of Default, and (g) general corporate and working capital purposes.

§2.10 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, (iii) in no event shall the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit) exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base Availability, or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (iv) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, and (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Agent otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending one year after the date of issuance thereof, subject to extension pursuant to an “evergreen” clause acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan. Issuing Lender shall honor drawings in accordance with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit if strictly presented in accordance with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period but subject to the terms of this Agreement, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed by Borrower and terminated.

(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and shall state whether such Letter of Credit is being issued under availability with respect to a Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c) The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.10(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

(e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee calculated at the rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event) and an administrative charge of $250, and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans for Tranche B Loans on the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit within five (5) days of receipt of an invoice from the Agent delivered each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of the Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by the Issuing Lender.

(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (the Borrower being deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telecopy, email, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%) for each day thereafter. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5. The failure of any Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).

(g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Lender any such Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

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

(j) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither the Agent, the Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telecopy, email or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on the Borrower and will not put the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve the Issuing Lender for liability to the Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

(k) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall also deliver to Borrower an electronic copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

§2.11 Increase in Total Commitment(a) . (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time, before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to request one or more increases in the Total Commitment to an aggregate amount of not more than $200,000,000.00 by giving written notice to the Agent (each, an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is a “Commitment Increase”); provided that any such individual increase to the Commitments must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof unless otherwise approved by the Agent in its sole discretion. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with KBCM and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who increase their respective Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to KBCM pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, the Agent shall send a notice to all Lenders (each, an “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to increase its Commitment upon such terms shall provide the Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of such increase which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and KBCM, in consultation with the Borrower, shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and KBCM shall determine in their sole discretion. If the increases to the Commitments so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, KBCM or the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent, KBCM and the Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (each, a “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to increase any portion of its Commitment.

(b) On any Commitment Increase Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans. The participation interests of the Lenders in Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date, each of those Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages.

(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11, (i) the Agent shall unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 in its own records to reflect the name and address, Commitment and Commitment Percentage of each Lender following such increase and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new Revolving Credit Note for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Commitment and (ii) the Swing Loan Commitment shall automatically increase to the lesser of (A) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the new Total Commitment and (B) the Commitment of the Swing Loan Lender, and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new Swing Loan Note for the Swing Loan Lender so that the principal amount of the Swing Loan Note shall equal the Swing Loan Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders and delivered to the Borrower. Such new Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the applicable Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit Notes or Swing Loan Note, as applicable. Simultaneously with such increase, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Notes and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement. The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Notes (as applicable) shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:

(i) Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent and KBCM those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to KBCM such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an additional Commitment or increasing their respective Commitment may require to increase the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. KBCM shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the applicable Commitment Increase certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and

(ii) No Default. On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

§2.12 [Intentionally Omitted.]

§2.13 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Required Lenders, all of the Lenders or affected Lenders, shall, except as specifically provided in §27, be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).

(b) Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Required Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an eligible assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an eligible assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).

(c) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time), (iii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such reallocation with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, and (iv) the aggregate obligation of each Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (a) the Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (b) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender plus (2) such Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. Subject to §34, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(d) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) and/or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Credit Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Revolving Credit Loans of, and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.

(e) Within five (5) Business Days of written demand by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender (after giving effect to §§2.5(a), 2.10(a) and 2.13(c)) on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this §2.13(e) shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.

(f) (i) Each Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(iii) With respect to any facility Unused Fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.

(g) If the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of the outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

§3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

§3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

§3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If at any time the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loan and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (A) Total Commitment or (B) the Borrowing Base Availability, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application to the Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender.

(b) If at any time (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities that are Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, respectively, exceeds the Tranche A Availability or the Tranche B Availability, respectively, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application to the Loans and specifically, to the Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, respectively as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender.

(c) In the event there shall have occurred any Prepayment, Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such payment, provide written notice thereof to the Agent together with an updated Borrowing Base Certificate which gives effect to such Prepayment, and if a prepayment of the Loans is required for Borrower to remain in compliance with §9.1, such notice shall be accompanied by a principal prepayment of the Loans to Agent for the account of the Lenders for application to the Loans as provided in §3.4 in an amount so that no violation of the covenants in §3.2 or §9.1 shall occur, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.7.

(d) In the event there shall have occurred a casualty or Taking with respect to any Borrowing Base Property and the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is required to repay the Loans pursuant to §7.7, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans concurrently with the date of receipt by Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Agent of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of such casualty or Taking, as applicable, in the amount required pursuant to the relevant provisions of §7.7.

§3.3 Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.7.

(b) The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid and whether such prepayment is a prepayment of a Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.

§3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §§3.2 and 3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, then, to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans (and with respect to each category of Loans, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans). Each partial prepayment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall, unless otherwise specifically provided in this §3 be applied first to Tranche B Loans and then to Tranche A Loans.

§3.5 Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans prepaid under §§3.2 and 3.3 prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in (but subject to the terms of) §2.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

§4.1 Conversion Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

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

(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall, subject to compliance with the other terms of this Agreement, be automatically converted at the end of the applicable Interest Period to a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

§4.2 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, the Agent and KBCM for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to a separate fee letter among the REIT, KeyBank and KBCM (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). Borrower hereby assumes all obligations of REIT under the Agreement Regarding Fees. All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.

§4.3 Funds for Payments.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank set forth on Schedule 4.3, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.

(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.3) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.3, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Agent and Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. For purposes of this Section (g), the term “Lender” shall include Agent.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this §4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this §4.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to Swing Loans) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by the Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(k) For the purposes of this §4.3, the term “Lender” includes Issuing Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

§4.5 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

§4.6 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by the Borrower hereunder.

§4.7 Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which the Borrower has elected a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (or to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to a Swing Loan), in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (b) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (c) the Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. The Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

§4.8 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a change in Applicable Law shall occur after the date hereof, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time (or from time to time) hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), which change affects similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally and is not applicable to a Lender or Agent primarily by reason of such Lender’s or Agent’s particular conduct or condition, and such change in Applicable Law shall:

(a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or

(b) impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing is:

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

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

(iii) to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of written demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent.

§4.9 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any Applicable Law regarding liquidity or capital ratios or requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, which change affects similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally and is not applicable to a Lender primarily by reason of such Lender’s particular conduct or condition, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding liquidity or capital ratios or adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender. For purposes of §4.8 and this §4.9, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, publications, orders, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of when adopted, enacted or issued.

§4.10 Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from the Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement.

§4.11 Default Interest; Late Charge. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus four percent (4%) (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of Credit shall be increased to a rate equal to four percent (4%) above the Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which is not paid by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the date when due (or, in the case of amounts due at the Revolving Credit Maturity Date within fifteen (15) Business Days of such date).

§4.12 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, §4.8, §4.9, §4.10 or §4.11 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and shall be promptly provided to the Agent and the Borrower upon their written request.

§4.13 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. This §4.13 shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.

§4.14 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.3 (as a result of the imposition of Taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.8 or §4.9, then, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.3 (as a result of the imposition of Taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.8 or §4.9 and following the request of the Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation, the Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment, provided that the Borrower shall pay to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in §18.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, and such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Affected Lender including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

§5. COLLATERAL SECURITY; GUARANTORS.

§5.1 Collateral. The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on the Collateral, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents.

§5.2 Appraisal.

(a) The Agent may obtain new Appraisals or an update to existing Appraisals with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties, or any of them, as the Agent shall determine (i) at any time that the regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall require more frequent Appraisals, (ii) at any time following a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) if the Agent reasonably believes that there has been a casualty, Taking or material diminution in the market value of any Borrowing Base Property, or (iv) at any time that the Agent or the Required Lenders determine that a more updated Appraisal is required by Applicable Law. The expense of such Appraisals and/or updates performed pursuant to this §5.2(a) shall be borne by the Borrower and payable to the Agent within ten (10) days of demand; provided the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for an Appraisal of a Borrowing Base Property obtained pursuant to this §5.2(a) more often than once in any period of twelve (12) months if no Event of Default exists.

(b) In the event that the Agent determines that a Borrowing Base Loan has been or is likely to be included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability for more than eighteen (18) months, the Agent shall obtain an Appraisal with respect to the underlying real estate securing such Borrowing Base Loan. The expense of such Appraisals performed pursuant to this §5.2(b) shall be borne by the Borrower and payable to the Agent within ten (10) days of demand.

(c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent has the right to reasonably approve any Appraisal performed pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees that the Lenders and the Agent do not make any representations or warranties with respect to any such Appraisal and shall have no liability as a result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for statements contained in such Appraisal, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of such Appraisal from the fair value of such property that is the subject of such Appraisal given by the local tax assessor’s office, or the Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.

§5.3 Addition of Borrowing Base Assets. Provided no Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders (which consent may be withheld in their reasonable discretion) and the satisfaction by the Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.3, to add Potential Borrowing Base Assets to the Borrowing Base Availability. In the event the Borrower desires to add an additional Potential Borrowing Base Asset to the Borrowing Base Availability as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request. The Agent and the Required Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of all items required under this Agreement to add such Eligible Real Estate as a Borrowing Base Property or a Mortgage Loan as a Borrowing Base Loan to grant or deny approval for such proposed Potential Borrowing Base Asset. If a Lender shall fail to respond to Agent within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such proposed potential Borrowing Base Asset as Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Potential Borrowing Base Asset shall be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied as determined by Agent (and as required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders):

(a) if such Potential Borrowing Base Asset is to be a Borrowing Base Property, such Potential Borrowing Base Property shall be Eligible Real Estate;

(b) if such Potential Borrowing Base Asset is to be a Borrowing Base Loan, such Borrowing Base Loan shall be secured by Eligible Real Estate and Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower shall own all right, title and interest in such loan, and no interest in such loan shall be subject to a participation;

(c) if such Potential Borrowing Base Asset is owned by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, said Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of §5.5;

(d) prior to or contemporaneously with such addition, the Borrower shall have submitted to the Agent a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or §7.4 and a Borrowing Base Certificate, both prepared on a pro forma basis and adjusted to give effect to such addition, and shall certify that after giving effect to such addition, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;

(e) the Borrower or the Wholly-Owned Subsidiary which is the owner of the Potential Borrowing Base Asset shall have executed and delivered to the Agent all applicable Borrowing Base Qualification Documents, all of which instruments, documents or agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; and

(f) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Potential Borrowing Base Asset, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the addition of a Borrowing Base Asset in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time, except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower to such effect;

(g) the terms and conditions of §7.19 shall be satisfied; and

(h) the Agent and the Required Lenders, shall have consented to the inclusion of such Real Estate or Mortgage Loan as a Borrowing Base Asset, which consent may be granted in the Agent’s and the Required Lenders’ reasonable discretion.

§5.4 Release of Borrowing Base Assets. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.4 other than an Event of Default that would be cured by effectuating such release as provided in §12.2(b)), the Agent shall release a Borrowing Base Asset from the lien or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of the Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its desire to obtain such release no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which such release is to be effected;

(b) the Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request a Compliance Certificate and Borrowing Base Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or §7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of the Borrower to give effect to the proposed release and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release;

(c) all release documents to be executed by the Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

(d) the Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees;

(e) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a release price, if applicable, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans as provided in §3.4, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans so that no violation of the covenants set forth in §§3.2 or 9.1 shall occur without regard to any cure or grace period (it being understood that a paydown may not be necessary if the aforesaid covenants are not violated following such release);

(f) without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of a Borrowing Base Asset will not cause the Borrower to be in violation of the restrictions set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base Availability or the covenants set forth in this Agreement; and

(g) The Agent and the Required Lenders shall have approved such release in writing in their sole and absolute discretion. The Agent and the Required Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the items required under §5.4(a) and (b) to grant or deny approval for such requested release. If a Lender fails to respond to Agent within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have disapproved such requested release.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Borrowing Base Property is to be released from a Mortgage, Agent may condition such release upon (x) the increase of the coverages under the Title Policies for the remaining Borrowing Base Properties subject to Mortgages to 110% of the Borrowing Base Availability attributed to such remaining Borrowing Base Properties, and (y) the Borrower paying to the Agent or the Person entitled thereto any mortgage, recording, intangible, documentary stamp or other similar taxes and charges which the Agent reasonably determines to be payable with respect to the remaining Borrowing Base Properties subject to Mortgages as a result of such release to any state or any county or municipality thereof in which any of the Borrowing Base Properties subject to a Mortgage is located, and the Borrower delivering to the Agent such affidavits or other information which the Agent reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with such payment in order to insure that the Mortgages on the Borrowing Base Properties located in such state secure the Borrower’s obligation with respect to the Obligations.

§5.5 Additional Guarantors. In the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate or a Borrowing Base Loan of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower be included as a Borrowing Base Asset as contemplated by §5.3 and such Real Estate or a Borrowing Base Loan is included as a Borrowing Base Asset in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall, as a condition to such Real Estate or a Borrowing Base Loan being included as a Borrowing Base Asset, cause each such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, and any other Subsidiary of Borrower which owns an interest in such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall become a Guarantor hereunder and thereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Guarantor hereunder and thereunder and to execute the Contribution Agreement, the Guaranty, the Indemnity Agreement and such Security Documents as the Agent may require. The Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to the Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.

§5.6 Release of Certain Guarantors. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.6(a)), in the event that all Borrowing Base Assets owned directly or indirectly by a Subsidiary Guarantor have been removed from the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability in accordance with this Agreement and shall have been released as Collateral for the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released by Agent from liability under this Agreement and the Guaranty. The provisions of this §5.6 shall not apply to Borrower or REIT.

§5.7 Release of Collateral. Upon the refinancing or repayment of the Obligations in full and termination of the obligation to provide additional Loans or issue Letters of Credit to Borrower, then the Agent shall release the Collateral from the lien and security interest of the Security Documents and to release the Borrower and Guarantors (other than with respect to obligations that survive termination of this Agreement), provided that Agent has not received a written notice from the Representative or the holder of the Hedge Obligations that any Hedge Obligation is then due and payable to the holder thereof.

(d) All policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall be issued by companies authorized to do business in the State where the policy is issued and also in the States where the Borrowing Base Properties are located and shall be issued by companies having a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide of at least “A-” and a financial size category of at least “VIII”.

(e) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Agreement with respect to Borrowing Base Properties unless such insurance complies with the terms and provisions of this §7.7.

(f) In the event of any loss or damage to or Taking of any Borrowing Base Property, the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the insurance carrier and the Agent. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent, at the Agent’s option and in the Agent’s sole discretion or at the request of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, as its attorney in fact, to make proof of such loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies or as a result of a Taking, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies or as a result of a Taking, to collect and receive Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds, and to deduct therefrom the Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the collection of such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the Borrower or any Guarantor shall in good faith diligently pursue such claim, the Borrower or such Guarantor may make proof of loss and appear in any proceedings or negotiations with respect to the adjustment of such claim, except that the Borrower or such Guarantor may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that the Borrower or such Guarantor may make proof of loss and adjust and compromise any claim under casualty insurance policies which is in an amount less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Appraised Value of the affected Borrowing Base Property so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the Borrower or such Guarantor shall in good faith diligently pursue such claim. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to claims under casualty insurance policies of less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Appraised Value of the affected Borrowing Base Property, Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall pay to Agent any Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds for Agent to hold and apply as provided in this §7.7. The Borrower and each Guarantor further authorize the Agent, at the Agent’s option, subject to clause (g) below, to (i) apply the balance of such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, or (ii) if the Agent shall require the reconstruction or repair of the Borrowing Base Property, to hold the balance of such proceeds as trustee to be used to pay taxes, charges, sewer use fees, water rates and assessments which may be imposed on the Borrowing Base Property and the Obligations as they become due during the course of reconstruction or repair of the Borrowing Base Property and to reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor, in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Agent may prescribe, for, or to pay directly, the costs of reconstruction or repair of the Borrowing Base Property, and upon completion of such reconstruction or repair to pay any excess Insurance Proceeds to the Borrower, provided that (i) upon completion of such reconstruction or repair, such Borrowing Base Property is in compliance with all applicable state, federal and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, without limitation, all building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations and (ii) no Defaults or Events of Default exist or are continuing under this Agreement on the date of such payment to the Borrower.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall make net Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds available to the Borrower or such Guarantor to reconstruct and repair the Borrowing Base Property, in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Agent may prescribe in the Agent’s discretion for the disbursement of the proceeds, provided that (i) the cost of such reconstruction or repair is not estimated by the Agent to exceed fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the damaged Building (as reasonably estimated by the Agent), (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall have provided to the Agent additional cash security in an amount equal to the amount reasonably estimated by the Agent to be the amount in excess of such proceeds which will be required to complete such repair or restoration, (iv) the Agent shall have reasonably approved the plans and specifications, construction budget, construction contracts, and construction schedule for such repair or restoration (provided that the Agent shall not disapprove such plans and specifications if the Building is to be restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage), (v) [intentionally omitted], (vi) the Agent shall reasonably determine that such repair or reconstruction can be completed prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (vii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that any such restoration, repair or rebuilding complies in all material respects with any and all applicable state, federal and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including without limitation, zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, and that all required permits, licenses and approvals relative thereto have been or will be issued in a manner so as not to materially impede the progress of restoration, (viii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the insurer under such policies of fire or other casualty insurance does not assert any defense to payment under such policies against the Borrower, any Guarantor or the Agent, and (ix) with respect to any Taking, (a) the value of the land taken under such condemnation is less than $500,000.00; (b) less than ten percent (10%) of the land is taken; (c) the land that is taken is located along the perimeter or periphery of the land; (d) access to the Borrowing Base Property is not materially affected in any way by the Taking; (e) no portion of the improvements are taken, and (x) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that once the Borrowing Base Property has been reconstructed or repaired, and each of the other conditions set forth in this clause (g) have been satisfied, the Borrower will be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the covenants set forth in §9. Any excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the Borrower, or if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations, unless in either case by the terms of the applicable insurance policy the excess proceeds are required to be returned to such insurer. Any excess Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations. In no event shall the provisions of this Section be construed to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or to limit in any way any right or remedy of the Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. If the Borrowing Base Property is sold or the Borrowing Base Property is acquired by the Agent, all right, title and interest of the Borrower and any Guarantor in and to any insurance policies to the extent that they relate to Borrowing Base Properties and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds thereof resulting from loss or damage to the Borrowing Base Property prior to the sale or acquisition shall pass to the Agent or any other successor in interest to the Borrower or purchaser of the Borrowing Base Property.

(h) The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) will, at their expense, procure and maintain insurance covering the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the Real Estate other than the Borrowing Base Property in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary for properties of similar character and location, due regard being given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction, location, use and occupancy.

§7.8 Taxes; Liens. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon them or upon the Borrowing Base Assets or the other Real Estate, sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor, materials or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property or other Liens affecting any of the Borrowing Base Assets, the Collateral or other property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries and all non-governmental assessments, levies, maintenance and other charges, whether resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions or otherwise, water and sewer rents and charges assessments on any water stock, utility charges and assessments and owner association dues, fees and levies, provided that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property and the Borrower or applicable Guarantor shall not be subject to any fine, suspension or loss of privileges or rights by reason of such proceeding, neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of sale, forfeiture, loss or suspension of operation by reason of such proceeding and the Borrower, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP (or if such aggregate amount so contested relates to a Borrowing Base Property and equals or exceeds $250,000, then Borrower shall have deposited with Agent as additional Collateral adequate reserves as reasonably determined by Agent); and provided, further, that forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor, the Borrower, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary either (i) will provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond is provided, will pay each such tax, assessment, charge or levy. Borrower shall deliver to the Agent evidence of payment of taxes, other assessments, levies and charges described in this §7.8 with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties promptly following payment thereof unless the same are being contested in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents.

The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the Borrowing Base Assets (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases or Collateral Borrowers under the Borrowing Base Loan Documents), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, partners or members, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for, and such visits and inspections shall not occur more often than once in any twelve (12) month period. The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of such Persons.

§7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits.

CubeSmart Extra Space Storage, Inc., LifeStorage, Inc. and their respective operating subsidiaries are approved by Agent as managers of the Borrowing Base Properties, provided that the form of Management Agreement remains subject to Agent’s reasonable approval. The Agent may condition any approval of a new or replacement manager (even with an approved manager) engaged by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor or a new Management Agreement with respect to a Borrowing Base Property upon the execution and delivery to the Agent of a Subordination of Management Agreement.

§7.14 Business Operations. REIT and its Subsidiaries shall operate their respective businesses in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields and lines of business as such business is now conducted and such other lines of business that are reasonably related or incidental thereto and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(m) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and the Required Lenders shall have determined in their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to result in liability of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000.00 and (x) such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or (y) a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Plan; or (z) the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

(p) any Change of Control shall occur;

Upon demand by the Agent or the Required Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement for a Revolving Credit Loan have been satisfied, the Lenders will cause a Revolving Credit Loan to be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit Loan will be pledged to and held by the Agent as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations. In the alternative, if demanded by the Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower will deposit into the Collateral Account and pledge to the Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. Such amounts will be pledged to and held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at the Agent’s sole discretion, the Agent may apply any such amounts to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied to the payment of all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations and Hedge Obligations and the Lenders have no further obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by the Borrower will be released to the Borrower.

114

§12.2 Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due (or, with respect to any payments other than interest on the Loans, any reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit or any fees due under the Loan Documents, within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Agent), provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to receive more than three (3) grace or cure periods in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further, that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(d) in the event that the Borrower cures (or causes to be cured) such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to defaults consisting of a failure to provide insurance as required by §7.7, to any default (whether of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof) consisting of a failure to comply with §§7.4(c), 7.14, 7.15, 7.17, 7.18, 7.19, 7.21, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.7, 8.8, 8.13, 8.14 or 8.15 or to any Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this §12.2 to the contrary, in the event that there shall occur any Default or Event of Default that affects only certain Borrowing Base Assets, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default or Event of Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by electing to have the Agent remove such Borrowing Base Assets from the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability and by reducing the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.

115

§12.3 Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(g), 12.1(h) or 12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to and issue Letters of Credit for the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower or the Guarantors of their obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

§12.4 Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, requiring the establishment of a hard lockbox and cash management system with Agent, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If the Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by the Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) Business Days after demand bear interest at the Default Rate. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

§12.5 Distribution of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral or other assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

116

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid or incurred or sustained by the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or other assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;

(b) Second, to all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Required Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2, (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses and Hedge Obligations (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders and Lender Hedge Providers, pro rata; and provided, further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

§12.6 Collateral Account.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and the other Obligations and Hedge Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including any interest provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this §12.6.

(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall not be invested by the Agent, and will earn interest at a rate paid by Agent with respect to similar accounts, and shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.

117

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If a Swing Loan is not refinanced as a Base Rate Loan as provided in §2.5 above, then the Agent is authorized to use monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to any participation not funded by a Defaulting Lender.

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Required Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate or withdraw any amounts in the Collateral Account and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with §12.5.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans at such time.

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time within ten (10) Business Days following written request therefor such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account. The Borrower authorizes the Agent to file such financing statements as the Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Account, and the Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to the Agent such other documents as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account.

§13. SETOFF.

Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each Guarantor) but with the prior written approval of the Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders agree with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or the Guarantors, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

118

§14. THE AGENT.

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

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

§14.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by the Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

119

§14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any Collateral or any other assets of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented the Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between the Agent’s Special Counsel and the Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents and the granting and perfecting of liens in the Collateral.

§14.5 Payments.

(a) A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(d).

120

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

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

§14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

§14.8 The Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.

§14.9 Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any such resignation may at the Agent’s option also constitute the Agent’s resignation as the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $1,000,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within ten (10) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $1,000,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. If the resigning Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.

121

§14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, the Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or the Guarantors or out of any Collateral within such period. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11 Request for Agent Action. The Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower, (a) a Borrowing Base Property may be subject to a Taking, or (b) the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Borrowing Base Properties, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, Leases) which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of the Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agent to (x) execute releases of liens in connection with any Taking, (y) execute consents in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with any easements or agreements affecting the Borrowing Base Property, or (z) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be necessary in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business.

122

§14.12 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Required Lenders, all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable, as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless the Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that the Agent file such proof of claim.

§14.13 Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

§14.14 Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, all affected Lenders or the Required Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action from the Agent together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively, “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of the Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to the Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by the Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. The Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless the Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.

123

§14.15 The Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower or any Guarantor, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower.

§14.16 Reliance on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with §§12.1, 12.5, 12.6 or any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding.

§15. EXPENSES.

The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any Indemnified Taxes, (c) all title insurance premiums, if any, reasonable engineer’s fees (to the extent Agent is permitted to engage such parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), reasonable environmental reviews (to the extent Agent is permitted to engage such parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the counsel to the Agent and KBCM and any local counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration, or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (d) the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Agent and KBCM incurred in connection with the initial syndication and/or participation (by KeyBank) of the Loans, (e) all other reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the addition or substitution of additional Collateral or Borrowing Base Assets, the release of Collateral, the making of each advance hereunder, the issuance of Letters of Credit, and the syndication of the Commitments pursuant to §18 (without duplication of those items addressed in clause (d) above), (f) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and fees and costs of appraisers, engineers, or other experts retained by the Agent) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or the Guarantors or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or any other workout of the Loan Documents and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the Agent’s, or any of the Lenders’ relationship with the Borrower or the Guarantors, (g) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC filings, title rundowns, title searches or mortgage recordings after a Default or Event of Default or otherwise that Agent is permitted to run pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (h) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which may be incurred by KeyBank in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without duplication of any of the items listed above), and (i) all expenses relating to the use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other similar system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information in connection with the Loans.

124

§16. INDEMNIFICATION.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders, the Arrangers, their respective Affiliates and Persons who control any of such Persons, and each director, officer, employee, agent and attorney thereof against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Borrowing Base Assets, other Real Estate or the Loans, (b) any condition of the Borrowing Base Assets or other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service xxxx or similar right of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (e) the Borrower and the Guarantors entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to the Borrowing Base Assets or any other Real Estate, (g) with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury, nuisance or damage to property), and (h) any use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to select a single law firm as their own counsel and an additional single local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction for all such parties (and, to the extent reasonably necessary in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel) and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. No person indemnified hereunder shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.

125

§17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and the Borrower’s obligations under §§4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder.

126

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

§18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities (but not to any natural person) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent, the Issuing Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if the Borrower does not respond to any such request for consent within five (5) Business Days, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a Related Fund, to a lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the assigned portion of the Commitment, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an assignment and acceptance agreement in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”), together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower or any Guarantor or be to a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee of a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $500,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower), (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower and (g) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment, the assigning Lender shall retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent shall unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 in its own records to reflect such assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its applicable Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

§18.2 Register. The Agent acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,000.00.

127

§18.3 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from the Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

§18.4 Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of Agent or Borrower, sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (but not to any natural Person) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §§4.3, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 13, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws, and (f) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor or any material Collateral (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f. 103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

128

§18.5 Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, or to such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure obligations of such Lender. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§18.6 No Assignment by the Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.

§18.7 Disclosure. The Borrower agrees to promptly and reasonably cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. Each of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such Information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such Information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or the Guarantors, or is independently developed by such Lender or is disclosed with the prior approval of the Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit Information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

129

§18.8 Mandatory Assignment. In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request requires approval of the Required Lenders, all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders directly affected thereby but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note or Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this §18.8 to the contrary, any Lender or other Lender assignee acquiring some or all of the assigned Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.7 which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment (provided that the Borrower may pay to such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) owing to such Non-Consenting Lender).

130

§18.9 Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment described in the foregoing §18.1 or §18.8, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment.

§18.10 Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.

Each Notice shall be effective upon being personally delivered or upon being sent by overnight courier or upon being deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid, or if transmitted by telecopy is permitted, upon being sent and confirmation of receipt. The time period in which a response to such Notice must be given or any action taken with respect thereto (if any), however, shall commence to run from the date of receipt if personally delivered or sent by overnight courier, or if so deposited in the United States Mail, the earlier of three (3) Business Days following such deposit or the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt.

(a) The debt evidenced by (i) those certain Revolving Credit Notes made by the Borrower in the aggregate principal face amount of One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) to the order of the Lenders, each of which has been issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement and each of which is due and payable in full on or before July 24, 2020, and which evidence a revolving credit loan in the initial principal amount of up to $100,000,000.00, and which may be increased up to Two Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($200,000,000.00) pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) that certain Swing Loan Note made by Borrower in the principal amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) to the order of KeyBank, which is due and payable in full on or before July 24, 2020, and (iii) each other note as may be issued under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, to reflect any increase of the revolving credit loan described herein, and which is due and payable on or before July 24, 2020, each as originally executed, or if varied, extended, supplemented, consolidated, amended, replaced, renewed, modified or restated from time to time as so varied, extended, supplemented, consolidated, amended, replaced, renewed, modified or restated (collectively, the “Note”);

(c) Any and all additional advances made by Agent or any Lender to protect or preserve the Property or the lien and security title hereof in and to the Property, or for taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as hereinafter provided (whether or not Grantor is the owner of the Property at the time of such advances);

(d) The payment, performance and discharge of each and all of the Hedge Obligations;

(e) Any and all other indebtedness now or hereafter owing by Borrower to Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, whether now existing or hereafter arising or incurred, however evidenced or incurred, whether express or implied, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees, expenses, yield maintenance amounts and indemnification amounts, and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; and

(f) All reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent, the Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations in connection with the enforcement and collection of the Secured Debt, including, without limitation, all reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and all other such costs and expenses described in and incurred pursuant to the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty, this Instrument, the other Loan Documents and the agreements evidencing or relating to the Hedge Obligations (the “Hedge Documents”) (collectively, the “Enforcement Costs”).

Wherever used herein or in the other Loan Documents, the terms “attorney’s fees” or “legal fees” shall mean reasonable attorneys’ fees in the amount actually incurred at the attorneys’ normal hourly rates, rather than a percentage of principal and interest as provided for in O.C.G.A. § 13-1-11(a)(2).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, under no circumstances shall the “Secured Debt” as defined herein include any obligation that constitutes an Excluded Hedge Obligation of Grantor.

Subject to Section 2.21 hereof, should the Secured Debt secured by this Instrument be paid and performed according to the terms and effect thereof when the same shall become due and payable, and should Grantor perform all covenants contained herein in a timely manner and the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement has terminated, then this Instrument shall be released.

Grantor hereby further covenants and agrees with Agent as follows:

J-6

ARTICLE 1

1.01 Payment of Secured Debt. Grantor will pay and perform or cause to be paid and performed the Secured Debt according to the tenor thereof and all other sums now or hereafter secured hereby as the same shall become due.

1.02 Funds for Impositions. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay to Agent, subject to Agent’s option under Section 1.03 hereof, on the days that monthly installments of interest are payable under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (hereinafter referred to as the “Funds”) reasonably estimated by Agent to provide an amount necessary for payment of the following items in full thirty (30) days prior to when such items become due (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Impositions”): (a) the yearly real estate taxes, ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, assessments and betterments, and (b) the yearly premium installments for the insurance covering the Property and required by the Credit Agreement. The Impositions shall be reasonably estimated initially and from time to time by Agent on the basis of assessments and bills and estimates thereof. The Funds shall be held by Agent in a separate non-interest bearing account free of any liens or claims on the part of other creditors of Grantor and as part of the security for the Secured Debt. Grantor shall pay all Impositions prior to delinquency as required by Section 1.03 hereof. In the event Agent elects to reserve Funds as permitted under this Section 1.02, Agent shall apply the Funds to pay the Impositions with respect to which the Funds were paid to the extent of the Funds then held by Agent and provided Grantor has delivered to Agent the assessments or bills therefor. Grantor shall be permitted to pay any Imposition early in order to take advantage of any available discounts. Agent shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds or for verifying and compiling said assessments and bills. The Funds are pledged as additional security for the Secured Debt, and may be applied, at Agent’s option and without prior notice to Grantor, to the payment of the Secured Debt upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Agent, or to be held considering the deposits to be made under this Section 1.02, shall be less than the amount reasonably deemed necessary by Agent to pay Impositions as such become due, Grantor shall pay to Agent any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within fifteen (15) business days after notice from Agent to Grantor requesting payment thereof. Upon the payment and performance in full of the Secured Debt and termination of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans and of Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, Agent shall promptly refund to Grantor any Funds then held by Agent.

1.03 Impositions, Liens and Charges. Grantor shall pay all Impositions and other charges, if any, attributable to the Property prior to delinquency, and at Agent’s option during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay in the manner hereafter provided under this Section 1.03. Grantor shall, during continuance of an Event of Default, furnish to Agent all bills and notices of amounts due under this Section 1.03 as soon as received, and in the event Grantor shall make payment directly, Grantor shall, as and when available, furnish to Agent receipts evidencing such payments prior to the dates on which such payments are delinquent, subject to Grantor’s right to contest taxes, assessments and other governmental charges as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall promptly discharge (by bonding, payment or otherwise) any lien filed against the Property or Grantor (including federal tax liens) and will keep and maintain the Property free from the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to the Property, subject to Grantor’s right to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall not claim or be entitled to any credit against the taxable value of the Property by reason of this Instrument, or any deduction in or credit on the Secured Debt by reason of Impositions paid.

J-7

1.04 Taxes, Liens and Other Charges.

(a) In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of debts secured by mortgages, deeds to secure debt or other security instruments or the manner of collecting taxes so as to adversely affect Agent or the Lenders, Grantor will promptly pay any such tax prior to delinquency. If Grantor fails to make such payment promptly, or if, in the opinion of Agent, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Grantor from making such payment or would penalize Agent or the Lenders if Grantor makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Agent, the making of such payment could reasonably result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the principal sums secured by this Instrument and all interest accrued thereon shall, at the option of Agent, become immediately due and payable on the date which is the earlier of (x) the date that is ninety (90) days following the date of receipt by Grantor of written notice of Agent's election to accelerate payment of the Secured Debt pursuant to this Section 1.04(a) and (y) the date the applicable tax is due and payable.

(b) Grantor will pay or cause to be paid all taxes, liens, assessments and charges of every character including all utility charges, whether public or private, already levied or assessed or that may hereafter be levied or assessed upon or against the Property as required under the Credit Agreement.

1.05 Insurance.

Grantor shall procure for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Agent and Lenders the insurance policies described in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums on such insurance policies. All proceeds of any property or casualty insurance or awards of damages on account of any taking or condemnation for public use of or injury to the Property are hereby assigned to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and shall be paid, adjusted, and used pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. In the event of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Property pursuant to the enforcement of this Instrument, the purchaser of such Property shall succeed to all rights of Grantor, including any rights to the proceeds of insurance and to unearned premiums, in and to all of the policies of insurance. In the event of a foreclosure sale, Agent is hereby authorized, without the further consent of Grantor, to take such steps as Agent may deem advisable to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of such policies. In case of Grantor’s failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Agent, after notice to Grantor, at its option may (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein and in the Credit Agreement at Borrower’s and Grantor’s sole expense.

J-8

1.06 Condemnation. If all or any portion of the Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term when used in this Instrument shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority or any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, then all compensation, awards and other payments or relief thereof, shall be paid and applied in accordance with terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.

1.07 Care, Use and Management of Property.

(a) Grantor will keep, or cause to be kept, the roads and walkways, landscaping and all other Improvements of any kind now or hereafter erected on the Land or any part thereof in good condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), will not commit or suffer any intentional physical waste, impairment or deterioration (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and will not do or suffer to be done anything which will materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Property or any part thereof.

(b) Grantor will not remove or demolish nor alter the structural character of any building located on the Land or any fixtures or personal property relating thereto except when incidental to the replacement of fixtures and personal property with items of like kind and value, customary tenant improvements pursuant to Leases approved or deemed approved pursuant to the Credit Agreement or other repairs, replacements, improvements and alterations expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Without Agent’s prior written consent, Grantor shall not construct any new buildings or structures on the Land.

(c) If the Property or any part thereof is materially damaged by fire or any other cause, Grantor will give immediate written notice thereof to Agent.

(d) Grantor will promptly comply in all material respects with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental authority, all restrictive covenants and other agreements affecting the Property or relating to the operation thereof affecting the Property or any part thereof and all licenses or permits affecting the Property or any part thereof, subject to Grantor’s right to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement.

(e) Grantor shall keep or cause to be kept the Property, including the Improvements and the Personal Property (as hereinafter defined), in such good order, repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and tenantable condition and shall replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when necessary to keep such items in good order, repair, and tenantable condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted).

(f) Grantor shall keep all franchises, trademarks, trade names, service marks and licenses and permits necessary for the Grantor’s use and occupancy of the Property in good standing and in full force and effect.

(g) Unless required by applicable law or unless Agent has otherwise agreed in writing (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Grantor shall not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy or use for which the Property was intended at the time this Instrument was executed. Grantor shall not abandon the Property. Grantor shall not initiate, fail to contest or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Property or subject the Property to easements or restrictive or negative covenants without Agent’s written consent. Grantor shall (or shall cause the tenant of the Property to) comply with, observe and perform all zoning and other laws affecting the Property, all agreements and restrictive covenants affecting the Property, and all licenses and permits affecting the Property, subject to Grantor’s right to contest compliance with laws to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall not, without Agent’s prior written consent, grant any dedication or file any plat, condominium declaration or restriction.

J-9

(h) Agent may, at Grantor’s expense, make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property as permitted in the Credit Agreement, or at any other time when necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of Agent, to protect or preserve the Property provided that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default or in an emergency circumstance, Agent reasonably notifies Grantor in writing in advance thereof.

(i) If all or any part of the Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or loss, then Grantor will promptly restore the Property to the condition required by the Credit Agreement if restoration is required pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and if a part of the Property shall be damaged through condemnation, Grantor will promptly restore, repair or alter the remaining portions of the Property to the condition required by the Credit Agreement if restoration is required pursuant to the Credit Agreement, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall not be obligated to so restore unless, in each instance, Agent agrees to make available to Grantor (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) any net insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Agent hereunder in connection with such casualty loss or condemnation, to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expense of such restoration; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the insufficiency of any such insurance or condemnation proceeds to defray the entire expense of restoration shall in no way relieve Grantor of its obligation to restore, if Grantor has such obligation pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

(j) Grantor shall pay all normal and customary operating expenses for the Property as the same become due.

1.08 Leases and other Agreements Affecting Property.

(a) As additional security for the Secured Debt, Grantor presently and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Agent all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Revenues, including those now due, past due or to become due by virtue of any of the Leases for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property. Grantor hereby authorizes Agent or Agent’s agents to collect the Revenues and hereby directs such tenants, lessees and licensees of the Property to pay the Revenues to Agent or Agent’s agents; provided, however, Grantor shall have a license (revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to collect, receive, and use the Revenues (in accordance with the terms of the Leases) as trustee for the benefit of Agent, and apply the Revenues so collected to the Secured Debt, to the extent then due and payable, then to the payment of normal and customary operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance for the Property which are then due and payable, with the balance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the account of Grantor (provided, that if an Event of Default is waived by Agent or cured by Grantor and accepted by Agent, Grantor’s right to collect same shall automatically be reinstated). Grantor agrees that each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property may pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Revenues to Agent or Agent’s agents on Agent’s written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) without any obligation on the part of said tenant, lessee or licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and notwithstanding any notice or claim of Grantor to the contrary, and Grantor agrees that Grantor shall have no right or claim against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any Revenues paid to Agent following receipt of such written demand.

J-10

(b) Grantor hereby covenants that Grantor has not executed any prior assignment of the Leases or the Revenues which have not been released or assigned to Agent as of the date hereof, that Grantor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and will not execute, any instruments which would prevent Agent from exercising the rights of the beneficiary of this Instrument, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the Revenues for more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such Revenues. Grantor further covenants that Grantor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any Revenues more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such Revenues.

(c) Grantor agrees that neither the foregoing assignment of Leases and Revenues nor the exercise of any of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section or Article 2 hereof shall be deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Agent, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof or acquires title to the Property through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Grantor further agrees that the appointment of any receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Agent or by agreement with Grantor, or the entering into possession of any part of the Property by such receiver, shall not be deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof.

(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent exercises its rights and remedies pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof or pursuant to the other Loan Documents, all Revenues thereafter collected shall be applied in such order as Agent may elect in its discretion to the reasonable costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, fees, receiver fees, premiums on receiver’s bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, Impositions and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Grantor as landlord, lessor or licensor of the Property, or to the Secured Debt. Agent or any receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those Revenues actually received. Agent shall not be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Agent pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof, except in the event of Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Revenues are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, any monies reasonably expended by Agent for such purposes shall become a portion of the Secured Debt. Unless Agent and Grantor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon written notice from Agent to Grantor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate for default interest stated in Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement (the “Default Rate”) unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law. The entering upon and taking possession of and maintaining of control of the Property by Agent or any receiver and the application of Revenues as provided herein shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Agent hereunder.

J-11

(e) It is the intention of Agent and Grantor that the assignment effectuated by this Instrument with respect to the Revenues shall be a direct and currently effective assignment, and shall not constitute merely an obligation to xxxxx x xxxx, security interest or pledge for the purpose of securing the Secured Debt.

(f) In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding such expressed intent of the parties, Agent’s interest in the Revenues constitutes a lien on or security interest in or pledge of the Revenues, it is agreed and understood that the forwarding of a notice to Grantor after the occurrence of an Event of Default advising Grantor of the revocation of Grantor’s license to collect such Revenues, shall be sufficient action by Agent to (i) perfect such lien on or security interest in or pledge of the Revenues, (ii) take possession thereof and (iii) entitle Agent to immediate and direct payment of the Revenues, for application as provided in this Instrument, all without the necessity of any further action by Agent, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Property.

1.09 Leases of the Property.

(a) Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not enter into any Lease of all or any portion of the Property or amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting of, or grant any concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee or licensee under, any now existing or future Lease of the Property, without the prior written consent of Agent. Grantor, at Agent’s request, shall furnish Agent with executed copies of all Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property. Upon Agent’s written request, Grantor shall make a separate and distinct assignment to Agent, as additional security, of all Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property.

(b) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property without the prior written consent of Agent. Agent may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Instrument to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Grantor, any tenant or any other Person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Instrument to any Lease.

J-12

(c) Grantor hereby appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, empowering Agent to subordinate this Instrument to any Leases.

1.10 Security Agreement.

(a) Insofar as the machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, fixtures, building supplies and materials, general intangibles and articles of personal property either referred to or described in this Instrument, or in any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Property is concerned, Grantor grants unto Agent a security interest therein and this Instrument is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement, encumbering each and every item of personal property (the “Personal Property”) included herein in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the applicable jurisdiction as set forth in Section 3.04 below (the “UCC”). Any notification required by the UCC shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the notice provisions of this Instrument at least ten (10) days before any sale or other disposition of the Personal Property. Disposition of the Personal Property shall be deemed commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale advertised at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the Property is located, or if advertised as part of a foreclosure of the Property. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Agent to dispose of the Personal Property without giving any warranties as to the Personal Property and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties. A financing statement or statements, affecting all of said personal property aforementioned, shall be appropriately filed. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein with respect to the Property, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in said UCC, all at Agent’s sole election. Grantor and Agent agree that the filing of such financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this declaration and hereby stated intention of Grantor and Agent that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Instrument is to the full extent provided by law, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be, regarded as part of the real estate irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement(s) so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement(s) of the rights in and to (1) the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Grantor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Agent as determined by this Instrument or impugning the priority of Agent’s lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the protection of Agent in the event any court shall at any time hold with respect to the foregoing (1), (2) or (3), that notice of Agent’s priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the UCC records.

J-13

(b) Grantor warrants that (i) Grantor’s (that is, “Debtor’s”) correct legal name (including, without limitation, punctuation and spacing) indicated on the public record of Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identity or corporate structure, residence or chief executive office and jurisdiction of organization are as set forth in Subsection 1.10(d) hereof; (ii) Grantor has been using or operating under said name, identity or corporate structure without change for the time period set forth in Subsection 1.10(d) hereof, and (iii) the location of the Personal Property secured by this Instrument is upon the Land. Grantor covenants and agrees that Grantor shall not change any of the matters addressed by clauses (i) or (iii) of this Subsection 1.10(b) unless it has given Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and has executed or authorized at the request of Agent, such additional financing statements or other instruments to be filed in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

(d) The information contained in this Subsection 1.10(d) is provided in order that this Instrument shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of Georgia, for instruments to be filed as financing statements. The names of the “Debtor” and the “Secured Party”, the identity or corporate structure, jurisdiction of organization, organizational number, federal tax identification number, and residence or chief executive office of “Debtor”, and the time period for which “Debtor” has been using or operating under said name and identity or corporate structure without change, are as set forth in Schedule 1 of Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; the mailing address of the “Secured Party” from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained, and the mailing address of “Debtor”, are as set forth in Schedule 2 of Exhibit “C” attached hereto; and a statement indicating the types, or describing the items, of Personal Property secured by this Instrument is set forth hereinabove.

(e) Exhibit “C” correctly sets forth all names and tradenames that Grantor has used within the last five years, and also correctly sets forth the locations of all of the chief executive offices of Grantor over the last five years.

(f) The Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:

(1) Grantor shall not merge or consolidate into, or transfer any of the Property to, any other person or entity except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(2) Grantor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Agent may reasonably request for Agent (A) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Property, stating that the bailee holds possession of such Property on behalf of Agent, (B) to obtain “control” of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (C) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in any of the Property and of the preservation of its rights therein. If Grantor shall at any time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Grantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute a supplement to this Instrument in form and substance acceptable to Agent granting a security interest in such commercial tort claim to Agent.

J-14

(3) Grantor hereby authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Property or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Grantor under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number of Grantor.

(4) Grantor shall not license, lease, sell or otherwise transfer any of the general intangibles to any third party during the term of this Instrument and the Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may be withheld in the Agent’s sole discretion); and the Grantor will continue to use all trademarks, service marks and trade names in a consistent manner and shall take all steps necessary to properly maintain any formal registrations on the general intangibles, and to defend and enforce them, for the term of this Instrument and the Credit Agreement.

1.11 Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property. At any time and from time to time, upon request by Agent, Grantor will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to Agent and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be rerecorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent, any and all such other and further mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, security agreements, financing statements, notice filings, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Agent, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, or perfect, or to continue and preserve (a) the obligation of Grantor under the Guaranty, this Instrument or of Borrower and/or any other Person under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Hedge Documents and (b) this Instrument as a first and prior lien upon and security interest in and to all of the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor, in each case, at no additional cost to Grantor (other than de minimis fees), and so long as such further acts do not increase the obligations of Grantor or diminish the rights of Grantor under the Loan Documents. Upon any failure by Grantor so to do, Agent may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all such mortgages, deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments, certificates, and documents for and in the name of Grantor and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor so to do. The lien hereof will automatically attach, without further act, to all after acquired property attached to and/or used in the operation of the Property or any part thereof.

1.12 Expenses. Grantor will pay or reimburse Agent, upon demand therefor, for all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agent in any suit, action, legal proceeding or dispute of any kind (excluding, however, those wherein Grantor and Agent are adversaries with each other and Grantor prevails therein) in which Lenders, Agent, or the holders of the Hedge Obligations is made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting or arising in connection with the Secured Debt secured hereby, this Instrument or the interest created herein, or the Property, including, but not limited to, the exercise of the power of sale contained in this Instrument, any condemnation action involving the Property or any action to protect the security hereof; and any such amounts paid by Lenders, Agent or the holders of the Hedge Obligations shall be added to the Secured Debt secured by the lien of this Instrument.

1.13 Subrogation. Agent shall be subrogated to the claims and liens of all parties whose claims or liens are discharged or paid with the proceeds of the Secured Debt secured hereby.

1.14 Limit of Validity. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall be subject to the defense of usury or otherwise transcend or violate applicable law concerning interest or other charges, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document be subject to the defense of usury or otherwise transcend or violate applicable law concerning interest or other charges that is in excess of the current limit, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the maximum limit permitted. The provisions of this Section 1.14 shall control every other provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document.

1.15 Conveyance of Property. Grantor hereby acknowledges to Agent that (a) the identity and expertise of Grantor was and continues to be a material circumstance upon which Agent has relied in connection with, and which constitute valuable consideration to Agent for, the extending to the Borrower of the loans and other extensions of credit evidenced by the Note and Credit Agreement, and (b) any change in such identity or expertise could materially impair or jeopardize the security for the payment of the Secured Debt granted to Agent by this Instrument. Grantor therefore covenants and agrees with Agent, as part of the consideration for the extending to the Borrower of the loans evidenced by the Note, that Grantor shall not convey, transfer, assign, further encumber or pledge any or all of its interest in the Property except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

2.01 Events of Default. The terms “Default” and “Event of Default” as used herein shall have the following meanings:

“Default” shall mean any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default.

J-16

“Event of Default” shall mean (a) an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (b) any default in the performance of any obligations of Grantor hereunder which is not cured within any applicable grace and/or cure period, if any, provided in the Credit Agreement (it being acknowledged by Grantor that no such cure period is provided with respect to any default (i) under Section 1.05, (ii) under Section 1.08, (iii) under Section 1.15, or (iv) excluded from any provision for a grace period or cure of defaults contained in the Credit Agreement, or any other agreement evidencing or securing the Secured Debt), or (c) any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of Grantor or by, or caused by, or at the instance of any principal, member, general partner or officer of Grantor (collectively, “Grantor Party”) without the prior written consent of Agent, or (d) any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than a Grantor Party or Agent or Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of Agent and Grantor fails to use its best efforts to cause the effect of such filing to be completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Grantor thereof.

2.02 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the entire Secured Debt secured hereby shall, at the option of Agent and as permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand except as required by law, time being of the essence of this Instrument.

2.03 Right to Enter and Take Possession.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor, upon demand of Agent, shall forthwith surrender to Agent the actual possession of the Property, and if and to the extent permitted by law, Agent itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and may exclude Grantor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with Grantor to the books, papers and accounts of Grantor.

(b) If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after such demand by Agent, Agent may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Agent the right to immediate possession or requiring Grantor to deliver immediate possession of the Property to Agent. Grantor will pay to Agent, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Agent, its attorneys and agents; and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be deemed a part of the Secured Debt.

J-17

(c) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Agent may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property; (ii) insure or keep the Property insured; (iii) lease, manage and operate the Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same; and (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted Agent, all as Agent from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Agent may collect and receive all the rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (1) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes); (2) the cost of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions; (3) the cost of such insurance; (4) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Agent may at its option pay; (5) other proper charges upon the Property or any part thereof; and (6) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Agent, Agent shall apply the remainder of the monies and proceeds so received by Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Agent shall have no obligation to discharge any duties of a landlord to any tenant or to incur any liability as a result of any exercise by Agent of any rights under this Instrument or otherwise. Agent shall not be liable for any failure to collect rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Property, nor shall Agent be liable to account for any such rents, issues, profits or revenues unless actually received by Agent.

(d) Whenever all that is due upon the Secured Debt and under any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Instrument shall have been paid, the Lenders have no obligation to make further Loans and the Issuing Lender has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, all Letters of Credit have terminated, and all Events of Default cured, Agent shall surrender possession of the Property to Grantor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

2.04 Performance by Agent. If there shall be an Event of Default in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of this Instrument, Agent may, so long as such Event of Default continues, at its option, pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, shall be secured hereby and shall be, upon demand, repaid by Grantor to Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate within five (5) Business Days of demand. Agent shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Agent is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Land or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor.

2.05 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, Agent, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right without regard to the occupancy or value of any security for the Secured Debt secured hereby or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) and to collect and apply the rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Grantor will pay to Agent upon demand all reasonable expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorney’s fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05, and all such expenses shall be secured by this Instrument.

J-18

2.06 Enforcement.

(a) Power of Sale. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, at its option, may sell, and is hereby authorized and empowered to sell the Property or any part of the Property at one or more public sale or sales conducted at the time and place and in the usual manner of the sheriff’s sales in the county in which the Land or any part of the Land is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the indebtedness secured hereby, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in bar of the right and equity of redemption, homestead and all other rights and exemptions of every kind, if any (including, without limitation, all rights under any appraisement, valuation, stay or extension laws and all rights to have the Property marshaled upon foreclosure hereof), which may now or hereafter exist, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor, after first advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county, all other notice being hereby waived by Grantor. At any such public sale, Agent may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Property or any part of the Property in fee simple, with full warranties of title, and to this end Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all right, title and equity that Grantor may have in and to the Property and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed, and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for the collection of the indebtedness secured hereby, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment of all of the indebtedness secured hereby. In the event of any sale under this Instrument by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Agent in its discretion may elect, and if Agent so elects, Agent may sell the personal property covered by this Instrument concurrently with the real property covered hereby or at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Property are sold or the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full. Agent may, at its option, sell the Property subject to the rights of any tenants, licenses, or lessees of the Property, and the failure to make any such tenants or licensees parties to any foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Grantor to be a defense to any proceedings instituted by Agent to collect the indebtedness secured hereby. If the indebtedness secured hereby is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security instruments, Agent may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Agent may determine in its discretion. Upon any foreclosure sale, Agent may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the indebtedness secured hereby as a credit to the purchase price. In the event of any such foreclosure sale by Agent, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over. Agent may proceed to enforce any right, power or remedy of foreclosure under this Instrument upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and without any requirement or condition that a judgment against Grantor or Borrower be obtained. In case Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Instrument by foreclosure, entry or otherwise or in the event Agent commences advertising of the intended exercise of the sale under power provided hereunder, and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case (i) Grantor and Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights, (ii) all rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (iii) each and every Event of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall be deemed to be a continuing Event of Default, and (iv) neither this Instrument, nor the Note, nor the indebtedness secured hereby, nor any other Loan Document shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment; and Grantor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with this sentence.

J-19

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under subparagraph (a) of this Section 2.06, either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment of the Secured Debt or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Instrument or any other right, and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Agent shall determine most effectual for such purposes.

(c) Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits Grantor may have under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-85 to claim or assert that the indebtedness has been reinstated in accordance with its terms following the withdrawal of any foreclosure proceedings by Grantee, and acknowledges and agrees that reinstatement shall occur only upon the written agreement of Grantee.

2.07 Purchase by Agent. Upon any foreclosure sale, Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations, may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Secured Debt secured hereby as a credit to the purchase price. Agent shall be permitted to assign its credit bid to any third party.

2.08 Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds received by Agent as a result of the foreclosure sale of the Property or the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder shall be applied in the manner provided for in the Credit Agreement.

2.09 Grantor as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any such foreclosure sale by Agent, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

J-20

2.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Grantor agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of an Event of Default, neither Grantor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, and Grantor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprised in the security intended to be created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof.

2.11 Waiver of Homestead. Grantor hereby waives and renounces all homestead and exemption rights provided for by the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of any state, in and to the Property as against the collection of the Secured Debt, or any part hereof.

2.12 Leases; Licensees. Agent, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Instrument subject to the rights of any tenants, lessees and licensees of the Property, and the failure to make any such tenants, lessees or licensees parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted by Grantor to be a defense to any proceedings instituted by Agent to collect the sums secured hereby.

2.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings and Restoration of the Parties. In case Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Instrument by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Agent, then and in every such case Grantor and Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.

2.14 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Agent by this Instrument is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be exercised against Grantor as Agent may select and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

2.15 Waiver.

(a) No delay or omission of Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Instrument to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent to or of any Default or Event of Default by Grantor in the performance of the obligations thereof hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other Default or Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Grantor hereunder. Failure on the part of Agent, the Lenders or any holder of the Hedge Obligations to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare a Default or Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Default or Event of Default by Grantor.

J-21

(b) If Lenders or Agent on behalf of the Lenders, or any holder of the Hedge Obligations, (i) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (ii) take other or additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (iii) waive or do not exercise any right granted herein or in the Note, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document; (iv) release any part of the Property from the lien of this Instrument or otherwise change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Note, this Instrument, any other Loan Document, or any Hedge Document; (v) consent to the filing of any map, plat or replat affecting the Property; (vi) consent to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Property; or (vii) make or consent to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty, this Instrument or any other obligation of Grantor, or any subsequent purchaser of the Property or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor; nor shall any such act or omission preclude Agent from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Default or Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Default or Event of Default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Agent, shall the lien of this Instrument be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Property, Agent, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Property or the Secured Debt secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

2.16 Suits to Protect the Property. Agent shall have power (a) to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Instrument, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Property and in the rents, issues, profits and revenues arising therefrom, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lenders or the holders of the Hedge Obligations.

2.17 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Grantor, its creditors or its property, Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Agent, Lenders or the holders of the Hedge Obligations allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Grantor under this Instrument at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Grantor hereunder after such date.

J-22

2.18 WAIVER OF GRANTOR’S RIGHTS. BY EXECUTION OF THIS INSTRUMENT, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF AGENT AND/OR THE LENDERS AND/OR THE HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS TO ACCELERATE THE SECURED DEBT AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE POWER OF AGENT TO SELL THE PROPERTY BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT BY GRANTOR WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY LAW; (B) TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FIFTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS THEREOF), THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY AGENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO AGENT, EXCEPT SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY APPLICABLE LAW; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GRANTOR HAS READ THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THEIR PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED FULLY TO GRANTOR AND GRANTOR HAS CONSULTED WITH COUNSEL OF GRANTOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS INSTRUMENT; AND (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF GRANTOR HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY GRANTOR AS PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN TRANSACTION.

2.19 Claims Against Agent, Lenders and Holders of Hedge Obligations. No action at law or in equity shall be commenced, or allegation made, or defense raised, by Grantor against Agent, the Lenders or any holder of the Hedge Obligations for any claim under or related to this Instrument, the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any other instrument, document, transfer, conveyance, assignment or loan agreement given by Grantor with respect to the Secured Debt secured hereby, or related to the conduct of the parties thereunder, unless written notice of such claim, expressly setting forth the particulars of the claim alleged by Grantor, shall have been given to Agent within sixty (60) days from and after the initial awareness of Grantor of the event, omission or circumstances forming the basis of Grantor for such claim. Any failure by Grantor to timely provide such written notice to Agent shall constitute a waiver by Grantor of such claim.

2.20 Indemnification; Subrogation; Waiver of Offset.

(a) Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold the Agent, the Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless for, from and against any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the Secured Debt, this Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Instrument; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Grantor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Indemnified Party for, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses asserted against, imposed on or incurred by such Indemnified Party by reason of such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence if a judgment is entered against such Indemnified Party by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.

J-23

(b) If an Indemnified Party is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against an Indemnified Party concerning the Secured Debt, this Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold such Person harmless for, from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by such Person in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.20(b) shall be construed to obligate Grantor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless an Indemnified Party for, from and against any and all liabilities or claims imposed on or incurred by such Person by reason of such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence if a judgment is entered against such Person by a court of competent jurisdiction after expiration of all applicable appeal periods. If Agent commences an action against Grantor to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by Grantor of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Grantor shall pay to Agent its reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses. In the event the Secured Debt, or any part thereof, are collected by or through an attorney at law, Grantor agrees to pay all costs of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonably attorney’s fees. The right to such attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Grantor breaches any term of this Instrument, Agent may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any breach by Grantor, Grantor shall pay Agent reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Agent, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Grantor by reason of such breach. All references to “attorneys” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Instrument shall include without limitation any attorney or law firm engaged by Agent and Agent’s in-house counsel, and all references to “fees and expenses” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Instrument shall include without limitation any fees of such attorney or law firm and any allocation charges and allocation costs of Agent’s in-house counsel.

(c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Grantor from its insurance carrier and, consequently, Grantor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Indemnified Parties and each of their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Grantor, the Property, Grantor’s property or the property of others under Grantor’s control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Instrument.

J-24

(d) ALL SUMS PAYABLE BY GRANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL BE PAID WITHOUT NOTICE (EXCEPT AS MAY OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED HEREIN), DEMAND, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEDUCTION OR DEFENSE AND WITHOUT ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, DIMINUTION OR REDUCTION, AND THE SECURED DEBT AND LIABILITIES OF GRANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL IN NO WAY BE RELEASED, DISCHARGED OR OTHERWISE AFFECTED BY REASON OF: (I) ANY DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF OR ANY CONDEMNATION OR SIMILAR TAKING OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF; (II) ANY RESTRICTION OR PREVENTION OF OR INTERFERENCE WITH ANY USE OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF; (III) ANY TITLE DEFECT OR ENCUMBRANCE OR ANY EVICTION FROM THE LAND OR THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE LAND OR ANY PART THEREOF BY TITLE PARAMOUNT OR OTHERWISE; (IV) ANY BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY, REORGANIZATION, COMPOSITION, ADJUSTMENT, DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, OR OTHER LIKE PROCEEDING RELATING TO AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS INSTRUMENT BY AGENT OR BY ANY RECEIVER OF AGENT, OR BY ANY COURT, IN SUCH PROCEEDING; (V) ANY CLAIM WHICH GRANTOR HAS, OR MIGHT HAVE, AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY; (VI) ANY DEFAULT OR FAILURE ON THE PART OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO PERFORM OR COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE TERMS HEREOF OR OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENT WITH GRANTOR; OR (VII) ANY OTHER OCCURRENCE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR TO THE FOREGOING, WHETHER OR NOT GRANTOR SHALL HAVE NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING. GRANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE TO ANY ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, DIMINUTION, OR REDUCTION OF ANY SUM SECURED HEREBY AND PAYABLE BY GRANTOR.

2.21 Revolving Credit/Future Advance. This Instrument secures Secured Debt which may provide for a variable rate of interest as well as revolving credit advances and other future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or otherwise. Advances under the Note are subject to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement. Grantor acknowledges that the Secured Debt may increase or decrease from time to time and that if the outstanding balance of the Secured Debt is ever repaid to zero the security title and security interest created by this Instrument shall not be deemed released or extinguished by operation of law or implied intent of the parties. This Instrument shall remain in full force and effect as to any further advances under the Credit Agreement made after any such zero balance until the Secured Debt is paid in full, all agreements to make further advances or issue further Letters of Credit have been terminated and this Instrument has been canceled of record. Grantor waives the operation of any applicable statutes, case law or regulation having a contrary effect.

K-3

THIS ASSIGNMENT is made on the following terms, covenants and conditions:

1. Present Assignment. Assignor does hereby presently and unconditionally assign to Agent, Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Leases and Rents, it being intended by Assignor that this Assignment constitutes a present assignment and not an agreement to assign. Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Agent such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, as may hereinafter be requested by Agent to further evidence and confirm said assignment. Such assignment to Agent shall not be construed to bind Agent to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions contained in any of the Leases or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Agent. Agent is hereby granted and assigned by Assignor the right to enter the Property for the purpose of enforcing its interest in the Leases and the Rents, this Assignment constituting a present and unconditional assignment of the Leases and Rents. Assignor shall authorize and direct, and does hereby authorize and direct, each and every present and future tenant, lessee and licensee under the Leases to pay all Rents directly to Agent upon receipt of written demand from Agent. It is the intent of Assignor and Agent hereunder that the Rents hereby absolutely assigned are no longer, during the term of this Assignment, property of Assignor or property of any estate of Assignor as defined by 11 U.S.C. § 541, and shall not constitute collateral, cash or otherwise, of Assignor. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 1, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Assignor shall have the right to act as lessor under the Leases to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

2. License. Although this Assignment constitutes a present assignment of all Rents, so long as there shall exist no Event of Default under the Instrument or the Credit Agreement, Assignor shall have a license (revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to collect and receive the Rents as trustee for the benefit of Agent, and apply the Rents so collected to the Secured Debt, to the extent then due and payable, then to the payment of normal and customary operating expenses for the Property which are then due and payable, with the balance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the account of Assignor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the license granted in this Paragraph 2 shall automatically, without further act by Agent, cease and terminate, and thereafter, any Rents received by Assignor shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately remitted by Assignor to, Agent (provided, that if an Event of Default is waived by Agent or cured by Assignor and accepted by Agent, Assignor’s license to collect such Rents shall automatically be reinstated).

K-4

3. Remedies of Agent. If an Event of Default under the Instrument or the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may collect and receive all the Rents, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, Assignor hereby authorizes Agent or Agent’s agents to collect the Rents and hereby directs such tenants, lessees and licensees of the Property to pay the Rents to Agent or Agent’s agents. Assignor agrees that each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property may pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Rents to Agent or Agent’s agents on Agent’s written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Agent only during the continuance of an Event of Default) without any obligation on the part of said tenant, lessee or licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and notwithstanding any notice or claim of Assignor to the contrary, and Assignor agrees that Assignor shall have no right or claim against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any Rents paid to Agent following receipt of such written demand. Anything in this Paragraph 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent shall not be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of a landlord, lessor or licensor to any tenant or other occupant or incur any liability as a result of the exercise by Agent of its rights under this Assignment, and Agent shall be liable to account only for the rents, income, issues, profits and revenues actually received by Agent. In connection with any action taken by the Agent pursuant to this Paragraph 3, the Agent shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from any act or omission of the Agent, including a loss arising from the ordinary negligence of the Agent, unless such loss is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, nor shall the Agent be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Assignor. Assignor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of the Agent with respect to the Property taken under this Paragraph 3.

4. No Liability of Agent. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent is fully authorized to receive and receipt for said Rents; to endorse and cash any and all checks and drafts payable to the order of Assignor or the Agent for the account of Assignor received from or in connection with said Rents and apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Debt, when received, regardless of the maturity of the Loans or Hedge Obligations or any installment thereof; and to execute transfer and division orders in the name of Assignor, or otherwise, with warranties binding Assignor. The Agent shall not be liable for any delay, neglect, or failure to effect collection of any proceeds or to take any other action in connection therewith or hereunder; but shall have the right, at its election, in the name of Assignor or otherwise, to prosecute and defend any and all actions or legal proceedings deemed advisable by the Agent in order to collect such funds and to protect the interests of the Agent and/or Assignor, with all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith being paid by Assignor.

K-5

5. Other Remedies and Non-Waiver. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Agent by this Assignment is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Agent or of any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent to or of any breach or default by Assignor in the performance of the obligations thereof hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Assignor hereunder. Failure on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default under the Instrument, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies of Agent consequent on any breach or default by Assignor. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Agent pursuant to the power and rights granted to Agent hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Agent of its rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Agent under the terms thereof. The right of the Agent to collect the Rents and to enforce any other security thereof held by it may be exercised by Agent either prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder.

6. Conflict with Credit Agreement and Instrument Provisions. Assignor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Instrument or the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Instrument or the Credit Agreement shall control; provided that if the Instrument or the Credit Agreement and this Assignment have a different standard or requirement for a representation, warranty, covenant or other obligations, the Assignor will be required to comply with the higher standard or more exacting requirement; further, provided that the inclusion in this Assignment of terms and provisions, supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agent not addressed in the Instrument or the Credit Agreement shall not be deemed to be in conflict with the Instrument or the Credit Agreement and all such additional terms, provisions, supplemental rights or remedies contained herein shall be given full force and effect.

7. No Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Agent a “mortgagee in possession” in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Property by Agent. In the exercise of the powers herein granted to Agent, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Agent, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Assignor.

8. No Oral Change. This Assignment may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally, or by any act or failure to act on the part of Assignor or Agent, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

9. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Assignment may be used interchangeable in singular or plural form and the word “Assignor” shall mean “Assignor and any subsequent owner or owners of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein,” the word “Agent” shall mean “Agent and any subsequent beneficiary of the Instrument,” the word “Loans” shall have the meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement, the word “person” shall include an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, and any other entity, the words “Property” shall include any portion of the Property and any interest therein; whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.

K-6

10. Inapplicable Provisions. If any term, covenant or condition of this Assignment is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Assignment shall be construed without such provision.

11. Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement.

12. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS CHOSEN PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.04 OF THE INSTRUMENT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OF CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW (EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS OF ITS UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE), AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. ASSIGNOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE JURISDICTION CHOSEN PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.04 OF THE INSTRUMENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ASSIGNMENT.

13. Successors and Assigns. Assignor may not assign its rights under this Assignment except in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.4 of the Credit Agreement). Assignor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Agent may assign this Assignment in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Assignment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Assignor and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns.

14. Termination of Assignment. Upon payment in full of the Secured Debt and the termination of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit, and the delivery and recording of a satisfaction, release or discharge of the Instrument duly executed by Agent, this Assignment shall become and be void and of no effect as to the Leases and Rents from the Land no longer securing the Secured Debt.

K-7

15. INDEMNIFICATION. ASSIGNOR SHALL AND DOES HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND TO HOLD AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS HARMLESS FOR, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL REASONABLE COSTS, EXPENSES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE (INCLUDING ALL REASONABLE COSTS, EXPENSES, AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED IN THE DEFENSE THEREOF) ASSERTED AGAINST, IMPOSED ON OR INCURRED BY AGENT, THE LENDERS OR HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS ASSIGNMENT OR UNDER ANY OF THE LEASES OR BY REASON OF ANY ALLEGED OBLIGATIONS OR UNDERTAKINGS OF AGENT, THE LENDERS OR HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS TO PERFORM OR DISCHARGE ANY OF THE TERMS, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LEASES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO OBLIGATE ASSIGNOR TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD AGENT, THE LENDERS OR A HOLDER OF A HEDGE OBLIGATION HARMLESS FOR, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL COSTS, EXPENSES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE ASSERTED AGAINST, IMPOSED ON OR INCURRED BY AGENT, THE LENDERS OR A HOLDER OF A HEDGE OBLIGATION BY REASON OF SUCH PERSONS’ WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE IF A JUDGMENT IS ENTERED AGAINST ANY OF AGENT, A LENDER OR A HOLDER OF A HEDGE OBLIGATION BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF ALL APPLICABLE APPEAL PERIODS. SHOULD AGENT, A LENDER OR A HOLDER OF A HEDGE OBLIGATION INCUR ANY SUCH COSTS, EXPENSES, LIABILITIES, LOSS OR DAMAGE, OR IN THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS, FOR WHICH IT IS TO BE INDEMNIFIED BY ASSIGNOR AS AFORESAID, THE AMOUNT THEREOF SHALL BE ADDED TO THE SECURED DEBT, SHALL BEAR INTEREST AT THE DEFAULT RATE FROM THE DATE INCURRED UNTIL PAID (BUT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INTEREST PAYABLE EXCEED THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWED BY LAW), SHALL BE SECURED BY THIS ASSIGNMENT, THE INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND SHALL BE PAYABLE IMMEDIATELY UPON DEMAND.

16. Notices. Except for any statutory notice required prior to exercise of the remedies provided herein, which must be delivered in accordance with such statutes, all notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be made and delivered in the manner provided in the Instrument.

17. Rejection of Leases. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event a tenant, lessee or licensee under any Lease should be the subject of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Act (Title 11 U.S.C.) or any other federal, state, or local statute which provides for the possible termination or rejection of the Leases assigned hereby, the Assignor covenants and agrees that if any of the Leases is so rejected, no settlement for damages shall be made without prior written and reasonable consent of the Agent, and any check in payment of damages for rejection of such Lease will be made payable both to the Assignor and Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Assignor shall assign any such payment to the Agent and further covenants and agrees that upon the request of the Agent, it will duly endorse to the order of the Agent any check, the proceeds of which will be applied to whatever portion of the indebtedness secured hereby which the Agent may elect.

18. No Merger of Estates. So long as any of the indebtedness secured hereby and by the Loan Documents shall remain unpaid, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, the fee title and the leasehold estate on the Property as hereinbefore described shall not merge, but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estate either in the Assignor or in any tenant, lessee or licensee or in a third party by purchase or otherwise.

K-8

19. Agent’s Rights of Assignment; Rights of Assignees. Agent may assign to any subsequent holder of the Note or the Instrument, or to any person acquiring title to the Property, all of Agent’s right, title and interest in any of the Leases and rents, issues, income and profits from the Property, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. No such assignee shall have any liability for any obligation which accrued under any of the Leases prior to the assignment to such assignee nor shall any such assignee have any obligation to account to Assignor for any rental payments which accrued prior to such assignment unless actually received by such assignee. After Assignor’s right, title and interest in the Property has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated, no assignee of Assignor’s interest in the Leases shall be liable to account to Assignor for any rents, issues, income or profits thereafter accruing.

20. Modifications, Etc. Assignor hereby consents and agrees that Agent or any other Person may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent from Assignor, either with or without consideration, surrender any property or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its account, securing the Secured Debt; substitute for any collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind; agree to modification of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or agreements evidencing or relating to the Hedge Obligations (the “Hedge Documents”); extend, renew or increase the Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Hedge Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Notes, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Hedge Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Hedge Documents to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any co-borrower, guarantor or endorser of the Note, the Instrument, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents or Hedge Documents; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever; and no such action which Agent or any other Person shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or Hedge Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the Secured Debt or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Assignor or Borrower or any other Person, nor any course of dealing with Assignor, Borrower or any other Person, shall release Assignor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Assignment in any way or afford Assignor any recourse against Agent or any other Person.

(ii) to institute one or more actions against Counterparty in connection with the collection of the Collateral, to prosecute to judgment, settle or dismiss any such actions, and to make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable, in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, with respect to such Collateral, to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments or otherwise modify the terms of the Hedge Agreement or release Counterparty from its obligations to make such payments, without incurring responsibility to, or affecting any liability of, Assignor under the Hedge Agreement;

it being specifically understood and agreed, however, that Agent shall not be obligated in any manner whatsoever to give any notices of default (except as may be specifically required herein or in the Credit Agreement) or to exercise any such power or authority or be in any way responsible for the preservation, maintenance, collection of or realizing upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or any of Assignor’s rights therein. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing and any such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Agent, its successors and assigns until this Assignment terminates as provided in Paragraph 13, below.

(a) Power and Authority. Assignor has, and shall maintain throughout the term of this Assignment, all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Assignment, to own and grant a security interest in the Collateral, to assign to Agent the security interest granted hereby.

(b) Performance. All duties, obligations and responsibilities required to be performed by Assignor as of the date hereof under the Hedge Agreement have been performed, and no default or condition which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default exists under the Hedge Agreement.

(c) Hedge Agreement. Except for the Loan Documents, Assignor is not a party to, nor is Assignor bound by or subject to, any indenture, contract or other agreement which purports to prohibit, restrict, limit, or control the transfer or pledge of the Collateral.

Assignor has paid to Counterparty all fees or other amounts at any time payable with respect to the Hedge Agreement. A true, correct and complete copy of the Hedge Agreement, together with any amendments thereto, is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and made a part hereof, and there are no other agreements or understandings which modify, alter or supplement the terms thereof. At any time while an Event of Default exists, Assignor shall not modify, amend, cancel, release, surrender, terminate or permit the modification, amendment, cancellation, release, surrender, termination of, the Hedge Agreement, or cause or permit the occurrence of a “Termination Event” (as such term is defined in the Hedge Agreement), without the prior written consent of Agent.

M-4

(d) Title. Assignor is and shall remain the sole, lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges or rights of third parties and rights of set-off or recoupment whatsoever (other than those in favor of Agent hereunder), and Assignor has the full and complete right, power and authority to create a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Assignment. No Person has any option, right of first refusal, right of first offer or other right to acquire all or any portion of the Collateral.

(e) Priority. This Assignment, together with the UCC financing statements, creates a valid and binding first priority security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and all filings and other actions necessary to perfect and protect such security interests have been duly made and taken. Assignor has not performed, and Assignor will not perform or, to the extent Assignor has the legal right, whether by contract, at law or in equity, to prevent such action, permit any other Person to perform, any acts which might prevent Agent from enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Assignment or which would limit Agent in any such enforcement.

(f) Note. All original notes and other documents or instruments (if any) evidencing, constituting, guaranteeing or securing any of the Collateral or any right to receive the Collateral have been endorsed to and delivered to Agent.

(g) Perfection of Security Interest.

(i) (1) Assignor’s correct legal name (including, without limitation, punctuation and spacing) indicated on the public record of Assignor’s jurisdiction, mailing address, identity or corporate structure, principal residence or chief executive office, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number, and federal tax identification number, are as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, (2) Assignor has been using or operating under said name and identity or corporate structure without change for the time period set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto and (3) in order to perfect the pledge and security interests granted herein against Assignor, a UCC Financing Statement must be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall not change any of the matters addressed by clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this paragraph unless it has given Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and caused to be filed at the request of Agent or authorized the Agent or Agent’s counsel to file such additional financing statements or other instruments to be filed in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

(ii) Assignor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements, documents, endorsements, assurances and instruments as Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Assignment or related to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order to better assure and confirm unto Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, Assignor shall, at the reasonable request of Agent, make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or authorize the execution and delivery of and where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent all such other and further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, certificates and other documents as Agent from time to time may reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning and confirming to Agent the Collateral and the rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter to be conveyed or assigned, and for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Assignment. Upon any failure of Assignor to do so, Agent may make, execute, record, file, rerecord and/or refile, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Assignor, and Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest with full power of substitutions of Assignor so to do. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Assignor will obtain such acknowledgments, waivers of lien, estoppel certificates or subordination agreements as Agent may require to insure the priority of its security interest in the Collateral.

(iv) Assignor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Agent may reasonably request for Agent (1) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds possession of such Collateral on behalf of Agent, (2) to obtain “control” of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York (the “UCC”) with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of collateral) in each case in which such items are included as Collateral, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (3) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. If Assignor shall at any time acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) with respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof, Assignor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute a supplement to this Assignment in form and substance acceptable to Agent granting a security interest in such commercial tort claim to Agent.

(v) Assignor hereby authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, at Assignor’s expense, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Collateral or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Assignor under this Assignment, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number and organizational number of Assignor.

(h) No Suits or Proceedings. There are no material actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Assignor, threatened against or affecting the Collateral, or involving the validity or enforceability of this Assignment or the priority of the lien thereof, at law or in equity, or before any governmental or administrative agency.

M-8

8. Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may take any action deemed by Agent to be necessary or appropriate to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Agent under this Assignment and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to any or all of the Collateral. The remedies of Agent shall include, without limitation, all rights and remedies specified in the Loan Documents and this Assignment, all remedies of Agent under applicable general or statutory law, and the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and regardless of whether the UCC has been enacted or enacted in that form in any other jurisdiction in which such right or remedy is asserted. In addition to such other remedies as may exist from time to time, whether by way of set off, banker’s lien, consensual security interest or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent is authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to or demand upon Assignor (any such notice or demand being expressly waived by Assignor) to charge any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Agent to or for the credit of or the account of Assignor against any and all of the Secured Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Agent shall have made any demand for payment and although such Secured Obligations may be unmatured. Any notice required by law, including, but not limited to, notice of the intended disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, shall be reasonable and properly given if given in the manner prescribed for the giving of notice herein, and, in the case of any notice of disposition, if given at least ten (10) days prior to such disposition. Agent may require Assignor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at any place to be designated by Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent shall be entitled to dispose of the Collateral at any public or private sale or sales, without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement, advertisement or notice (except such notice as is otherwise required under this Assignment) of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, and that Agent shall be entitled to bid and purchase at any such sale. In the event that Agent is the successful bidder at any public or private sale of any note or other document or instrument evidencing Assignor’s right to receive the Collateral, Agent shall be entitled to credit the amount bid by Agent against the obligations evidenced by such note, document or instrument rather than the Secured Obligations. To the extent the Collateral consists of marketable securities, Agent shall not be obligated to sell such securities for the highest price obtainable, but shall sell them at the market price available on the date of sale. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given. Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from claim or right on the part of Assignor. In the event that any consent, approval or authorization of any governmental agency or commission will be necessary to effectuate any such sale or sales, Assignor shall execute all such applications or other instruments as Agent may deem reasonably necessary to obtain such consent, approval or authorization. Agent may notify any account debtor or obligor with respect to the Collateral to make payment directly to Agent, and may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral as Agent may determine whether or not the Secured Obligations or the Collateral are due, and for the purpose of realizing Agent’s rights therein, Agent may receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Assignor and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title or other evidences of payment, shipment or storage of any form of Collateral on behalf and in the name of Assignor, as its attorney-in-fact. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact either in the name of Agent or Assignor to (i) sign Assignor’s name on any Collateral, drafts against account debtors, assignments, any proof of claim in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any account debtor, any notice of lien, claim of lien or assignment or satisfaction of lien, or on any financing statement or continuation statement under the UCC; (ii) send verifications of accounts receivable to any account debtor; and (iii) in connection with a transfer of the Collateral as described above, sign in Assignor’s name any documents necessary to transfer title to the Collateral to Agent or any third party. All acts of said attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and approved, and Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of law or fact made in connection therewith. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any amounts remain unpaid on any of the Secured Obligations. All remedies of Agent shall be cumulative to the full extent provided by law, all without liability except to account for property actually received, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise such rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Pursuit by Agent of certain judicial or other remedies shall not xxxxx nor bar other remedies with respect to the Secured Obligations or to other portions of the Collateral. Agent may exercise its rights to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of security or reimbursement for the Secured Obligations.

M-9

(b) If Assignor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Assignment beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of Assignor contained in this Assignment which Assignor shall fail to perform, and the cost of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Assignor within ten (10) days of written demand therefor and shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and, if not paid within such ten (10) days of written demand, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.

(c) Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and whether or not Agent is the absolute owner of the Collateral, Agent may take such action as Agent may deem necessary to protect the Collateral or its security interest therein, Agent being hereby authorized to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the reasonable judgment of Agent is prior or superior to its security interest, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary out-of-pocket expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorney’s fees. Any such advances made or expenses incurred by Agent shall be deemed advanced under this Assignment, shall increase the indebtedness evidenced and secured hereby, shall be payable within ten (10) days of written demand therefor and, if not paid within such ten (10) days of written demand, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.

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

M-10

9. Duties of Agent. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Agent’s duty with reference to the Collateral shall be solely to use slight care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral, which shall not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties. Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the collection of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of value or uncollectability of any of the payments received by it.

10. Indemnification.

(a) It is specifically understood and agreed that this Assignment shall not operate to place any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Hedge Agreement, and that in accepting this Assignment, Agent and the Lenders neither assume nor agree to perform at any time whatsoever any obligation or duty of Assignor relating to the Collateral or under the Hedge Agreement, all of which obligations and duties shall be and remain with and upon Assignor.

(b) Assignor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, expenses, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Assignment (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Assignment) or acts taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or in connection therewith, except claims, expenses, losses or liabilities resulting from the Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.

(c) Assignor, within ten (10) days of written demand shall pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel actually incurred (including those incurred in any appeal), and of any experts and agents, which the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Assignment, (ii) the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Assignor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

11. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Agent, and the security interests hereunder, and all of the obligations secured hereby, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) Any change in the time (including the extension of the maturity date of the Note), manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from this Assignment or the Loan Documents;

M-11

(c) Any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations; or

(d) Any other circumstance (other than payment of the Secured Obligations in full) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Assignor or any third party for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof.

12. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Assignment nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and Assignor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or omission of Agent to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. Failure on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act which constitutes an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of Agent’s rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Event of Default. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Assignor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law all rights which Assignor has or may have under and by virtue of the UCC, and any federal, state, county or municipal statute, regulation, ordinance, Constitution or charter, now or hereafter existing, similar in effect thereto, providing any right of Assignor to notice and to a judicial hearing prior to seizure by Agent of any of the Collateral. Assignor hereby waives and renounces for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, presentment, demand, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by law or the Loan Documents) and all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption and appraisement now provided or which may hereafter be provided by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of any state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement of this Assignment and the collection of any of the Secured Obligations.

13. Continuing Security Interest; Release of Collateral. This Assignment shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the obligation of the Lenders to provide further advances under the Credit Agreement, (b) be binding upon Assignor and its permitted successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the obligation of the Lenders to provide further advances under the Credit Agreement and issue Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Assignor. Upon any such termination, Agent will at Assignor’s expense execute and deliver to Assignor such documents as Assignor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

M-12

14. Modifications, Etc. Assignor hereby consents and agrees that Agent may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent from Assignor, either with or without consideration, surrender any property or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its account, securing the Secured Obligations; substitute for any Collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind; agree to modification of the terms of the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Loan Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents for any period or to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any guarantor, endorser or any other Person liable with respect to the Secured Obligations; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever; and no such action which Agent shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the Secured Obligations or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Assignor, nor any course of dealing with Assignor or any other person, shall release Assignor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Assignment in any way or afford Assignor any recourse against Agent.

15. [Intentionally omitted].

16. Governing Law; Terms. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

17. Notices. Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Assignment shall be deemed to have been properly given or served if given to Assignor in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.

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

19. Counterparts. This Assignment and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Assignment it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

20. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Assignment. Title or captions of paragraphs hereof are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions hereof. References to a particular paragraph refer to that paragraph of this Assignment unless otherwise indicated. If, for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Assignment shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by applicable law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Assignment, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Assignment shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
