Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro
rata based on each such Lender’s Percentage (determined before giving effect to any
termination of the Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10) and the proceeds
thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such
outstanding Swingline Loans (although, unless a Default or an Event of Default then exists, the
Swingline Lender will not exercise such right with respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans prior
to the fourth Business Day after the date that such Swingline Loan was made or if the
Administrative Agent has theretofore received a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing the proceeds of which Borrowing will be used to repay such outstanding Swingline Loans on
or prior to the date on which such Swingline Loans are due). Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees
to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the
amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing
by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply
with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions
specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then
exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Total Commitment or
Borrowing Base Amount at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any
reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of
the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each
Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such
date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding
Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably
based upon their respective Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the
Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10), provided that (x) all interest
payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as
of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable
to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y)
at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the
purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of
the
-3-
participation so purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory
Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such
participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the rate
otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day
thereafter.
(d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally
agrees that the Borrower may, in accordance with the procedures established pursuant to Section
1.04, incur one or more loans (each a “Competitive Bid Loan” and, collectively, the “Competitive
Bid Loans”), denominated in Dollars, pursuant to a Competitive Bid Borrowing at any time and from
time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the date which is the Business Day
preceding the date which is 45 days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that (x) no
Competitive Bid Loan may be made unless the Investment Grade Rating Condition exists, (y) no
Competitive Bid Loan may be made if, after giving effect thereto, either (A) the sum of (I) the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans (exclusive of Revolving Loans which are repaid
with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, Competitive Bid Loans) then
outstanding, (II) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid
Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of,
Competitive Bid Loans) at such time, (III) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid
Loans (exclusive of Competitive Bid Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously
with the incurrence of Competitive Bid Loans) then outstanding, (IV) the aggregate principal amount
of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and
simultaneously with the incurrence of, Competitive Bid Loans) then outstanding, and (V) the
aggregate principal amount of all other Unsecured Consolidated Total Indebtedness of Trizec then
outstanding, exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount at such time (based on the Borrowing Base
Certificate last delivered or then being delivered) or (B) the sum of (I) the aggregate principal
amount of all Competitive Bid Loans (exclusive of Competitive Bid Loans which are repaid with the
proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of Competitive Bid Loans) then outstanding,
(II) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which
are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, Competitive Bid Loans)
at such time, (III) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans (exclusive of Revolving
Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, Competitive
Bid Loans) then outstanding and (IV) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans
(exclusive of Swingline Loans which are paid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the
incurrence of, Competitive Bid Loans) then outstanding exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
at such time and (z) no Competitive Bid Loan may be made if, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding exceeds the Maximum
Competitive Bid Loan Amount. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in Sections 1.04 and 1.06, Competitive Bid Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in
accordance with the provisions hereof.
1.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Revolving Loans, Competitive Bid Loans
and Swingline Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto. More
than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than
eight Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans in the aggregate (or such greater number as may be
acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
-4-
1.03
Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Revolving Loans
hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s
prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Base Rate Loan
and at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) of each Eurodollar Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder,
provided that any such
notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 Noon (
New
York time) on such day. Each such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice
(each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.11, shall be
irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower in the form of
Exhibit A, appropriately
completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be incurred
pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii)
whether such Revolving Loans are to be incurred as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and, if
Eurodollar Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, (iv) the Borrowing
Base Amount at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered or then being
delivered) and (v) the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such
time (after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing), (II) the aggregate amount of all Letter of
Credit Outstandings at such time and (III) the aggregate principal amount of all other Unsecured
Consolidated Total Indebtedness of Trizec at such time (after giving effect to the proposed
Borrowing and the application of the proceeds therefrom). The Administrative Agent shall promptly
give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof
and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the
Notice of Borrowing.
(b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the
Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (
New York time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to
be incurred hereunder, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each
Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be in the form of a Notice of
Borrowing (appropriately completed) and shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date
of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline
Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (C) the Borrowing Base Amount at such time (based
on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered or then being delivered) and (D) the sum of (I)
the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time (after giving effect to the
proposed Borrowing), (II) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time
and (III) the aggregate principal amount of all other Unsecured Consolidated Total Indebtedness of
Trizec at such time (after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing and the application of the
proceeds therefrom).
(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 1.01(c), with the
Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the
Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 1.01(c).
(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any
telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans or any
revocation of any Letter of Credit Request, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the
applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of
telephonic notice of Borrowing, prepayment or revocation, as the case may be, believed by the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender, as
-5-
the case may be, in good faith to be from the chairman of the board, the chief executive
officer, the president or a Senior Financial Officer of the Borrower, or from any other authorized
officer of the Borrower designated in writing by any of the foregoing officers of the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent as being authorized to give such notices, prior to receipt of written
confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the
Administrative Agent’s, the Swingline Lender’s or the applicable Issuing Lender’s record of the
terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans or such revocation of a
Letter of Credit Request, as the case may be, absent manifest error.
1.04
Competitive Bid Borrowings. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur a Competitive
Bid Borrowing, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 12:00
Noon (
New York time), (x) at least four Business Days prior to the date of such proposed
Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Spread Competitive Bid Borrowing, and (y) at least
three Business Days prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of an
Absolute Rate Competitive Bid Borrowing, a written notice substantially in the form of
Exhibit
B (each a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), such notice to specify in each case (i) the
date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (iii) the maturity date or maturity
dates (each a “Competitive Bid Loan Maturity Date”) for repayment of each Competitive Bid Loan to
be made as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (each of which maturity dates may not be earlier
than 14 days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing or later than 180 days after the date
of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (but in no event later than the Maturity Date)), (iv) the
interest payment date or dates relating thereto (which shall be at least every three months in the
case of maturities in excess of three months), (v) whether the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing
is to be an Absolute Rate Competitive Bid Borrowing or a Spread Competitive Bid Borrowing, (vi) the
Borrowing Base Amount at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered or then
being delivered), (vii) the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at
such time (after giving effect to the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing), (II) the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time and (III) the aggregate principal amount
of all other Unsecured Consolidated Total Indebtedness of Trizec at such time (after giving effect
to the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing and the application of the proceeds therefrom), and
(viii) any other terms to be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Bidder Lender of each such request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing
received by it from the Borrower by telecopying to each such Bidder Lender a copy of the related
Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(b) Each Bidder Lender shall, if in its sole discretion it elects to do so, irrevocably offer
to make one or more Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower as part of such proposed Competitive Bid
Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Bidder Lender in its sole discretion and
determined by such Bidder Lender independently of each other Bidder Lender, by notifying the
Administrative Agent in writing (which notice shall be promptly distributed to the Borrower,
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Bidder Lender or to the
Borrower for failure to distribute any such notice to the Borrower unless such failure resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction)), before 10:00 A.M. (
New York time) on the date
(the “Reply Date”) which is (x) in the case of a Spread Competitive
-6-
Bid Borrowing, three Business Days before the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing,
and (y) in the case of an Absolute Rate Competitive Bid Borrowing, two Business Days before the
date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the minimum amount, if any, and maximum amount
of each Competitive Bid Loan which such Bidder Lender would be willing to make as part of such
proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence
of Section 1.01(d), exceed such Lender’s Commitment) and the rate or rates of interest therefor
(specified to the nearest .0001 and which, in the case of a Spread Competitive Bid Borrowing, shall
be the Spread offered for each maturity requested in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing);
provided that if the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bidder Lender shall, in its
sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the Borrower in writing of such
offer before 9:45 A.M. (
New York time) on the Reply Date. If any Bidder Lender shall elect not to
make such an offer, such Bidder Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, before 10:00 A.M.
(
New York time) on the Reply Date, and such Bidder Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not,
make any Competitive Bid Loan as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing;
provided that the
failure by any Bidder Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Bidder Lender to be obligated
to, and such Bidder Lender shall not, make any Competitive Bid Loan as part of such proposed
Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(c) The Borrower shall, in turn, before 10:30 A.M. (
New York time) on the Reply Date, either
(1) cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent notice (in
writing or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to that effect (it being understood
and agreed that if the Borrower gives no such notice of cancellation and no notice of
acceptance pursuant to clause (2) below, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have canceled
such Competitive Bid Borrowing), or
(2) accept one or more of the offers made by any Bidder Lender or Bidder Lenders
pursuant to clause (b) above by giving notice (in writing or by telephone confirmed in
writing) to the Administrative Agent of the amount of each Competitive Bid Loan (which
amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, if any, and equal to or less
than the maximum amount, notified to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of
each such Bidder Lender for such Competitive Bid Borrowing) and reject any remaining offers
made by Bidder Lenders pursuant to clause (b) above by giving the Administrative Agent
notice to that effect; provided, however, that acceptance of offers may only
be made on the basis of ascending Absolute Rates (in the case of an Absolute Rate
Competitive Bid Borrowing) or Spreads (in the case of a Spread Competitive Bid Borrowing),
in each case commencing with the lowest rate so offered; and provided, further, that
if offers are made by two or more Bidder Lenders at the same rate and acceptance of all such
equal offers would result in a greater principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans being
accepted than the aggregate principal amount requested by the Borrower, the Borrower shall
have the right to accept one or more such equal offers in their entirety and reject the
other equal offer or offers or to allocate acceptance among all such equal offers (but
giving effect to the minimum amounts, if any, and maximum amounts specified for each such
offer pursuant to clause (b) above), as the Borrower may elect in its sole discretion.
-7-
(d) If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is
canceled (or is deemed to be canceled) pursuant to clause (c)(1) above, the Administrative Agent
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Bidder Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing
shall not be made.
(e) If the Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Bidder Lender or Bidder
Lenders pursuant to clause (c)(2) above, the Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify (in
writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) (x) each Bidder Lender that has made an offer as
described in clause (b) above, of the date and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing
and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bidder Lender pursuant to clause (b) above have
been accepted by the Borrower and (y) each Bidder Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Loan as
part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Competitive Bid Loan to be made by
such Bidder Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(f) On the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower and the Lenders of the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans (if any)
outstanding at such time.
1.05
Disbursement of Funds. No later than 12:00 Noon (
New York time) on the date specified
in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 3:00 P.M. (New
York time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(i), (y) in the case of Mandatory
Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.01(c) or
(z) in the case of Competitive Bid Loans, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date
specified pursuant to Section 1.04(a)) each Lender will make available its
pro rata
portion (determined in accordance with Section 1.08) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on
such date (or, (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the
full amount thereof and (y) in the case of Competitive Bid Loans, the respective Bidder Lenders
which are to make such Competitive Bid Loans in accordance with Section 1.04(e) will make available
their respective amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in
immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and, except for Revolving Loans made pursuant to
a Mandatory Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment
Office, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders to the extent of funds
actually received by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such
date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent one Business Day
after the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled
to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may
-8-
be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date
such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and
the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter, and (ii) if recovered
from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined
pursuant to Section 1.09. Nothing in this Section 1.05 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.
1.06 Notes. (a) The obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal of, and interest on,
the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced (i) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory note
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity
herewith (each, a “Revolving Loan Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loan Notes”), and (ii) if
Swingline Loans, by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2, with blanks
appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Loan Note”). The terms of each
Competitive Bid Loan shall be evidenced by the respective correspondence between the Borrower and
the respective Bidder Lender pursuant to Section 1.04 and, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower
and such Bidder Lender or unless the respective Bidder Lender makes a request pursuant to the
immediately succeeding sentence, Competitive Bid Loans shall not be evidenced by promissory notes.
If requested by any Bidder Lender, the Borrower agree to execute and deliver a promissory note, in
form reasonably satisfactory to the respective Bidder Lender, evidencing the Competitive Bid Loans
of such Bidder Lender to the Borrower (with any such promissory notes herein called “Competitive
Bid Notes”).
(b) The Revolving Loan Note issued to each Lender shall (i) be duly executed and delivered by
the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the date of
issuance, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment of such
Lender (or if issued after the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, be in a stated
principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Lender on
the date of the issuance thereof) and be payable in Dollars in the principal amount of Revolving
Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as
provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.09 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar
Rate Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as
provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02, and (vii) be entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
(c) The Swingline Loan Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be duly executed and
delivered by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of the Swingline Lender and be dated the
date of issuance, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Maximum Swingline Amount and
be payable in Dollars in the principal amount of Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time to
time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate
clause of Section 1.09 in respect of the Base Rate Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to
voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory
-9-
repayment as provided in Section 4.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents.
(d) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each
payment in respect thereof and will prior to any transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the
reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make
any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in
respect of such Loans.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement,
Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time (or from time to time) specifically
request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note
evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligation of the
Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby
in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the guaranty
thereof provided pursuant to the Subsidiaries Guaranty. Any Lender which does not have a Note
evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise
described in preceding clause (d) of this Section 1.06. At any time when any Lender requests the
delivery of a Note to evidence any of its outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan
Commitments (if any), or its outstanding Swingline Loans, or its outstanding Competitive Bid Loans,
the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the
appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans and Commitments (if any).
1.07 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day
occurring after the Effective Date, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount
of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more
Types of Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Loan, provided that (i) except as
otherwise provided in Section 1.11(b), Eurodollar Rate Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans
only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such
partial conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such
Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree, Base Rate Loans
may only be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans if no Specified Default or Event of Default is in
existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 1.07
shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans than is permitted under
Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative
Agent at the Notice Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior
notice (each a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in the form of Exhibit D,
appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings
pursuant to which such Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans, the
Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each
Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion. Swingline Loans and Competitive Bid Loans
may not be converted pursuant to this Section 1.07.
-10-
1.08 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be
incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan
Commitments. All Mandatory Borrowings made pursuant to Section 1.01(c) shall be made by the
Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Percentages. It is understood that no
Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans
hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it
hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.
1.09 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (x) the
maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (y) the conversion of such Base Rate
Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.07, at a rate per annum which shall be equal
to the sum of the Base Rate plus the relevant Applicable Margin each as in effect from time to
time.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (x) the maturity
thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (y) the conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan
to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.07, 1.10 or 1.11, as applicable, at a rate per annum
which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such
Interest Period.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each
Competitive Bid Loan from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) at a rate or rates per annum specified by a Bidder Lender or Bidder Lenders, as the
case may be, pursuant to Section 1.04(b) and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.04(c).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of (x) the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the sum of the Base Rate as in effect from
time to time plus 4.5%, and (ii) to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of
each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus 4.5%.
(e) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base
Rate Loan, in arrears on (x) December 31, 2005 and (y) each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter, (ii)
in respect of each Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable
thereto, (iii) in respect of each Competitive Bid Loan, at such times as specified in the Notice of
Competitive Bid Borrowing relating thereto and (iv) in respect of each Loan, on any repayment or
prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
and, after such maturity, on demand.
(f) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the
Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period to be applicable to Eurodollar
-11-
Rate Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such determination. Each
such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties
hereto.
1.10 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Rate Loan
(in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York
time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the
right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, a one, two or three month
interest period or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent and otherwise available to all of
the Lenders, a period of less than one month (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, provided that:
(i) all Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all times have the
same Interest Period;
(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion thereto from a
Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable
thereto expires;
(iii) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan begins on a day for which there
is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest
Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;
(iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day
which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a
day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest
Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;
(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree, no Interest Period may be
selected at any time when a Specified Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;
and
(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date.
If by 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day preceding the expiration of any
Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (x) the Borrower has failed to
elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans as provided above, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans as a new Borrowing
of Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one month, or (y) the Borrower is not
permitted to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such
-12-
Eurodollar Rate Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to
convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans. Each deemed election under this paragraph
shall be effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.
1.11 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have
determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the
Administrative Agent):
(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the
Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not
exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of the Eurodollar Rate; or
(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the
amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan or
Competitive Bid Loan because of (x) any change arising after the Effective Date (or, in the
case of a Competitive Bid Loan, since the making of such Competitive Bid Loan) in any
applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not
having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or
governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not
limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal
of or interest on such Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in
the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits or franchise
taxes based on net income of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the country in which it is
organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any
subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements (except to
the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate) or any special deposit,
assessment or similar requirement against assets of deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender (or its applicable lending office) and/or (y) other
circumstances since the Effective Date (or, in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan, since the
making of such Competitive Bid Loan) affecting the applicable interbank market or the
position of such Lender and lenders generally in such market; or
(iii) at any time after the date of this Agreement, that the making or continuance of
any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or
governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good
faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z)
impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which
materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market;
then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)
above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and,
except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).
-13-
Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Rate Loans and Spread Competitive Bid
Borrowings shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative
Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or any
Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to such Loans which have not
yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y)
in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13.17
(to the extent applicable), pay to such Lender, within 10 days of its written request therefor,
such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating,
interest or otherwise as such Lender in good faith shall reasonably determine) as shall be required
to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable
hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable
detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in
the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section
1.11(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section
1.11(a)(iii), shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan then
being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the
Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower
was notified by the affected Lender pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected
Eurodollar Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is then outstanding, upon at least two Business Days’
written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lenders (A) in the case of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (B) in the
case of a Competitive Bid Loan, to repay such Competitive Bid Loan in full, provided that
if more than one Lender is affected at any time as described above in this clause (b), then all
affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.11(b).
(c) If at any time after the Effective Date any Lender determines that the introduction of or
any change (which introduction or change shall have occurred after the Effective Date) in any
applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or
not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or
administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, will have the effect of increasing the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its
obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay, subject to the provisions of Section 13.17
(to the extent applicable), to such Lender, within 10 days of its written request therefor, such
additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the
increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to
such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such
additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and
-14-
in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable,
provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.11(c)
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each
Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section
1.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in
reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.
1.12 Compensation. The Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.17 (to the
extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, within 10 days of its written request (which request
shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Rate Loans
or Competitive Bid Loan, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:
(i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing
of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Rate Loans or Competitive Bid Loan does not occur on a
date specified therefor in the Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section
1.11(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or
as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any Eurodollar
Rate Loans or Competitive Bid Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period
or maturity date with respect thereto, as the case may be; (iii) if any prepayment of any
Eurodollar Rate Loans or Competitive Bid Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of
prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any election made pursuant to Section
1.11(b).
1.13 Lending Offices. Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written
notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule II, one
or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender)
for the Loans made by such Lender hereunder; provided that, for designations made after the
Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 1.11,
2.06 or 4.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of such designation of a
different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrower, in
accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay
the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs
of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation).
Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all
purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be
entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).
Nothing in this Section 1.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the
right of any Lender provided in Sections 1.11, 2.06 and 4.04.
1.14 Requested Designation of other Lending Offices. Each Lender agrees that on the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section
1.11(c), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the
Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
-15-
designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such
designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal
or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to
the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.14 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Sections 1.11, 2.06 or 4.04.
1.15 Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise
defaults in its obligations to make Loans, (b) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the
operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with
respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in
excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (c) in the case of certain refusals
by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with
respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent)
provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, if no Specified Default or Event
of Default then exists (or, in the case of the preceding clause (c), no Specified Default or Event
of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to such replacement), to replace such Lender
(the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute
a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), and
each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;
provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.15, the
Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to
Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the
Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitment and all
outstanding Loans of, and participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in
connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to
the sum of (I) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced
Lender, (II) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed
to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time

Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not
theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to such Issuing Lender and (z) the Swingline Lender an
amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowings to the extent such
amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender and (ii) all
obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those
specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has
been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently
with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements,
the payment of amounts referred to above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender,
delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower in
exchange for the Note or Notes held by the Replaced Lender, if any, the Replacement Lender shall
become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder,
except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including,
-16-
without limitation, Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as
to such Replaced Lender.
1.16 Additional Commitments. (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or
would result therefrom, the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, shall have the
right at any time and from time to time on or prior to the 180th day prior to the
original Maturity Date and upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent,
to request on one or more occasions that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons
which will become Lenders as provided below) provide Additional Commitments and, subject to the
applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the relevant Additional Commitment
Agreement, make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 1.01; it being understood and agreed, however,
that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Additional Commitment as a result of any
request by the Borrower, (ii) until such time, if any, as (x) such Lender has agreed in its sole
discretion to provide an Additional Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative
Agent an Additional Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in Section 1.16(b) and (y)
such other conditions set forth in Section 1.16(b) shall have been satisfied, such Lender shall not
be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans, or participate in any Letters of Credit, in excess of the
amounts provided for in Sections 1.01 or 2.03, as the case may be, before giving effect to such
Additional Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 1.16, (iv) any Lender (or, in the
circumstances contemplated by clause (viii) below, any other Person which will qualify as an
Eligible Transferee) may so provide an Additional Commitment without the consent of any other
Lender (it being understood and agreed that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be
required if any such Additional Commitments are to be provided by a Person which is not already a
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) each provision of
Additional Commitments on a given date pursuant to this Section 1.16 shall be in a minimum

amount of all Additional Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 1.16, shall
not exceed $250,000,000, (vii) the up-front fees payable to any Lender (including any Eligible
Transferee that will become a Lender as contemplated by clause (viii) below) providing an
Additional Commitment shall be as set forth in the relevant Additional Commitment Agreement, (viii)
the Borrower shall have the right, in addition to requesting the then existing Lenders to provide
Additional Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.16, to request Additional Commitments from
Persons which would qualify as Eligible Transferees hereunder, provided that any such
Additional Commitments provided by any such Eligible Transferee which is not already a Lender shall
be in a minimum amount (for such Eligible Transferee) of at least $5,000,000, and (ix) all actions
taken by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.16(a) shall be done in consultation with the
Administrative Agent.
(b) At the time of any provision of Additional Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.16, (i)
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which
agrees to provide an Additional Commitment (each, an “Additional Lender”) shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Additional Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit M, subject to such modifications in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent as may be necessary or appropriate (with the effectiveness of such
Additional Lender’s Additional Commitment to occur upon delivery of
-17-
such Additional Commitment Agreement to the Administrative Agent, the payment of any fees
required in connection therewith, the satisfaction of any conditions precedent that may be set
forth in such Additional Commitment Agreement and the satisfaction of the other conditions in this
Section 1.16(b) to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent), (ii) the Borrower

Commitment Date, and (w) on each such date, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment under, and for all
purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Additional

conformity with the requirements of Section 1.06 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent
needed to reflect the revised Commitments of such Lender and (z) on each such date with respect to
all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to

permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default,
provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall

jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in
particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit
any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not
otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost
or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of
the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good xxxxx xxxxx material to

(v) the name of the beneficiary, (vi) the expiry date and (vii) whether such letter of credit
constitutes a standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit,
including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with
the terms thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”), shall constitute a Letter of Credit
for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.04(a), on the Effective Date.
Any Lender hereunder which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute an Issuing
Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.
2.02 Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount
of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are

180 days after the date of the issuance thereof and (y) 15 days prior to the Maturity Date.
2.03 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires
that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent
and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is

issuance of the Letter of Credit by the applicable Issuing Lender, which revocation shall be
immediately confirmed in writing by the Borrower to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative
Agent by facsimile.
-20-
(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not
violate the requirements of, Section 2.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received
notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or
more of the conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such
Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the
Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon its issuance
of or amendment to any Letter of Credit, the respective Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and all other Lenders, in writing, of such issuance or amendment
and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the issued Letter of Credit or amendment.

Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such
Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.
(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such
lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.
2.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by each Issuing
Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to
each Lender, other than such Issuing Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section
2.04, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally
to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Percentage, in such Letter of
Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any
change in the Commitments or Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Sections 1.15, 1.16 or 13.04,
it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings,
there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.04 to
reflect the new Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lenders and/or Additional Lenders, as the
case may be.
(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit issued by it, no Issuing Lender
shall have an obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents
required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they
appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the
Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or
omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
-21-
(c) In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued
by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender
pursuant to Section 2.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent,
which shall promptly notify each Participant, of such failure, and, except as provided in the
proviso of the immediately succeeding sentence, each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally
pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s Percentage of such unreimbursed payment
in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 A.M.
(New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of
Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such
Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds;
provided, however, that no Participant shall be obligated to pay to the respective
Issuing Lender its Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such
Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting
willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). If and to the extent such
Participant shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the
respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender forthwith on
demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such
amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days
and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day
thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to the respective Issuing Lender its
Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its
obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its Percentage of any such payment on
the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Percentage
of any such payment.
(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it
has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender
shall pay to each Participant which has paid its Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day
funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount
originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the
principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase
of the respective participations.
(e) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect
to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or
exception whatsoever (except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the second sentence of Section
2.04(c)) and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents;
-22-
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Trizec or any of
its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
acting), the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Participant or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction
between Trizec or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of
Credit);
(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of
any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or
(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.
2.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse
each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid
Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such
payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which
case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest
or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the
amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M.
(New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or
disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at
a rate per annum which shall be the sum of the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are
maintained as Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate each as in effect from time to time;
provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M.
(New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such
payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 10.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing
Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum which shall be the sum of the
Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus 4.5%, in each such case, with interest to be payable
on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under
any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall
in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender
with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any
-23-
Lender (including in its capacity as issuer of the Letter of Credit or as Participant),
including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing or payment under a
Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any
nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the
respective Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of
Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and non-appealable decision).
2.06 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any
change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (whether or not having the force of law),
shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or
similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by
any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions
relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement as it pertains to Letters of Credit or their
issuance thereof or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any
Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or
any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of
Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or
profits or franchise taxes based on net income of such Issuing Lender or such Participant pursuant
to the laws of the country in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable
lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), then, within 10 days of the
delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such
Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant
to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.17 (to
the extent applicable), to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or
reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Each Issuing
Lender or Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant
to this Section 2.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall
include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy
of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative
Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount
or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate
required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 3. Commitment Commission; Other Fees; Reductions of Commitments.
3.01 Fees. (a) (i) For each day during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding
the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been
terminated) on which the Investment Grade Condition does not exist, the Borrower agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission
(the “Revolving Loan Commitment Commission”) computed at a rate per annum for each such day equal
to the then Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage on the daily average of the Unutilized
Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Revolving Loan
Commitment Commission shall be due and payable in arrears on (x) December 31, 2005, (y) each
Quarterly Payment Date thereafter and (z) the Maturity Date (or on such earlier date on which the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated).

(or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) on which
the Investment Grade Condition exists, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a facility fee (the “Revolving Loan Facility Fee”)
computed at a rate per annum for each such day equal to the then Applicable Facility Fee Percentage
on the daily average of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender as in effect from time to
time. Accrued Revolving Loan Facility Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on (x) December 31,
2005, (y) each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter and (z) the Maturity Date (or on such earlier date
on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated).
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender
(based on each such Lender’s respective Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit
issued hereunder (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such
Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for
Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Rate Loans on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of
Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on (x) December 31,
2005, (y) each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter and (z) the first day on or after the termination
of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder (the “Facing Fee”) for the
period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date
of the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to
1/8 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the
minimum amount of the Facing Fee payable in any 12 month period for each Letter of Credit shall be
$500; it being agreed that, on the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary
thereof prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing
Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding 12 month
period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each
such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise
-25-
provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be
due and payable in arrears on (x) December 31, 2005, (y) each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter and
(z) the first day on or after the termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of
Credit remain outstanding.
(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment
under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit, such amount as shall at the time of such
event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is
generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.
(e) The Borrower agrees to pay such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by the
Borrower, DBTCA and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
(f) On the date of the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 1.17, the Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a non-refundable cash
extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) in an amount equal to 25 basis points (0.25%) of an amount
equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender as in effect on such date.
3.02 Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business
Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the
right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to terminate the Total
Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, in each case in whole or in part, in integral multiples of
$5,000,000 in the case of partial reductions, provided that each such reduction of the
Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the
Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment.
(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, upon five
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), terminate the entire
Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, Fees and all other amounts owing to such Lender (other than amounts owing in respect of
any Tranche of Loans maintained by such Lender if such Loans are not being repaid pursuant to
Section 13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to
Section 4.01(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed
amounts), and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Loans
hereunder such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except
with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement for periods when such Lender was a “Lender”
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.11, 1.12, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06),
which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.
-26-
3.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Total Commitment (and the Revolving Loan
Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the earliest of (i) the date on which
a Change of Control occurs, (ii) the date upon which the Borrower enters into any transaction of
merger or consolidation, other than any merger or consolidation permitted by Section 9.02(a), and
(iii) the Maturity Date.
SECTION 4. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.
4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans
(other than Competitive Bid Loans) without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at the Notice Office (x) in the case of
Base Rate Loans, at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or same day notice in the case
of a prepayment of Swingline Loans) (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its
intent to prepay such Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at least three
Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its
intent to prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans, whether Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans shall
be prepaid, the principal amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans and Tranches to be
prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to
which such Eurodollar Rate Loans were made, which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to each of the Lenders, (ii) each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a)
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000, provided that if any
partial prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the
outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the
Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto
given by the Borrower shall have no force or effect, (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section
4.01(a) in respect of any Tranche of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied
pro rata among such Loans, and (iv) each prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans made
pursuant to this Section 4.01 on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto shall be accompanied by the payment of all amounts owing in connection therewith pursuant
to Section 1.12. The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Bid Loan pursuant
to this Section 4.01(a) without the consent of the Lender that made such Competitive Bid Loan.
(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, upon five
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans, together
with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts owing to such Lender under this
Agreement (including under Section 1.12) in accordance with said Section 13.12(b) so long as (A)
the Revolving Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such
repayment pursuant to Section 3.02(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to
reflect the changed Commitments) and (B) the consents required by Section 13.12(b) in connection
with the repayment pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) have been obtained.
-27-

principal amount of all Revolving Loans, (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Competitive Bid Loans, (III) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans and
(IV) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of Swingline
Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full (or if no Swingline Loans are
outstanding), Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the
prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the sum of (I) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans and (II) the aggregate amount of all
Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the
Borrower shall prepay on such date the principal of Competitive Bid Loans in an amount equal to
such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Loans, the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in
effect, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an
amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess, such cash and/or Cash
Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to each Issuing Lender and
the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.
(b) (i) If on any day (A) the sum of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Revolving Loans, (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans, (III) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans, (IV) the aggregate amount of
all Letter of Credit Outstandings and (V) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other
Unsecured Consolidated Total Indebtedness of Trizec exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount at such time
(based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered or then being delivered) (such excess, the
“Borrowing Base Amount Deficiency”) or (B) a Default exists under Section 9.14 (such Default, a
“Section 9.14 Default”), the Borrower shall, within 10 days thereafter (or on such day to the
extent required by Section 8.13), either (x) prepay outstanding Loans and/or cash collateralize
outstanding Letters of Credit in the order provided in clause (c)(ii) below in an amount sufficient
to eliminate such Borrowing Base Amount Deficiency or to cure such Section 9.14 Default, as
applicable, (y) add one or more Borrowing Base Properties to the Borrowing Base in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Agreement which would have the effect (i) in the case of a
Borrowing Base Amount Deficiency, of increasing the Borrowing Base Value in an aggregate amount
sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Amount Deficiency or (ii) in the case of a Section 9.14
Default, of increasing the Borrowing Base Property NOI in an amount sufficient to cure such Section
9.14 Default or (z) effect a combination of the actions described in preceding clauses (x) and (y)
so as to eliminate such Borrowing Base Amount Deficiency or Section 9.14 Default, as applicable (it
being understood that, if any Default or Event of Default then exists (other than, in the case of
Section 4.02(b)(i)(A) the Default resulting from the Borrowing Base Amount Deficiency in question,
and in the case of Section 4.02(b)(i)(B) the Section 9.14 Default in question), the Borrower shall
be required to take the actions described in preceding clause (x)).
(ii) To the extent that the Borrower elects (or is required) to prepay outstanding Loans
and/or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit to eliminate any Borrowing Base Amount
Deficiency or to cure any Section 9.14 Default as provided in clause (b)(i) above, the Borrower
shall (1) first, prepay principal of outstanding Swingline Loans,
-28-
(2) second, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full (or if no Swingline Loans are
outstanding), prepay principal of outstanding Revolving Loans as designated by the Borrower, (3)
third, after all Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans have been paid in full, prepay principal of
outstanding Competitive Bid Loans, and (4) fourth, pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment
Office cash and/or Cash Equivalents and with such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as
security for all Obligations of the Borrower to each Issuing Lender and the Lenders hereunder in a
cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other
Credit Document, (i) all then outstanding Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in
full on the Maturity Date, (ii) all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the date on
which (x) the Borrower enters into any transaction of merger or consolidation (other than any
merger or consolidation permitted by Section 9.02(a)) or (y) a Change of Control occurs, (iii) each
Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full within five Business Days after the date of
Borrowing thereof and (iv) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the
Swingline Expiry Date.
(d) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by Sections 4.02(a) and (b), the Borrower
may designate the Types of Revolving Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Revolving Loans were made,
provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 may
only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Rate
Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans have
been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans constituting a single Borrowing
shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans constituting such Borrowing to an amount less
than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end
of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans unless such Borrowing,
together with any other Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans (or portion thereof) or
Eurodollar Rate Loans converted or continued on the same date to Eurodollar Rate Loans with the
same Interest Period as the Interest Period to which such Borrowing is then being continued,
exceeds such Minimum Borrowing Amount; (iii) each repayment of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to
a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans; and (iv) each
repayment of Competitive Bid Loans shall be applied pro rata among all outstanding Competitive Bid
Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the
Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.
4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments under this Agreement or under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the
date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office.
The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was
actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time)) like funds
relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto. Any
payments under this Agreement or under any Note which are made later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder or under any
-29-
Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.
4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or under
any other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as
provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but
excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by
the net income or net profits or franchise taxes based on net income of a Lender pursuant to the
laws of the country in which it is organized or the country in which the principal office or
applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all
interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as
“Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees, subject to Section 13.17 (to
the extent applicable), to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be
necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, under any Note or under
any other Credit Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not
be less than the amount provided for herein, in such Note or in such other Credit Document. If any
amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrower agrees to
reimburse each Lender, within 10 days of the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on
or measured by the net income and net profits and franchise taxes imposed on net income of such
Lender pursuant to the laws of the country in which it is organized or the country in which the
principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any
political subdivision or taxing authority of any such country in which it is organized or the
country in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and
for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such
Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding
sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this
sentence. If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.04 to a Lender and such
Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection
therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its liabilities for Taxes in or with
respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender
shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is
equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in such year as a
consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may
determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a

this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” (within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code) and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or
Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms)

this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after
the Effective Date, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous
certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form

Form or Certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or
Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained

withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the
account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has
not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete
exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant
to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or
similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the
Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the
-31-
Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than
interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not
establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set
forth in Section 13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each
Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the
jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld
by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are
effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of
income or similar Taxes (but, in the case of any amount withheld or deducted by the government of
the United States or a political subdivision thereof, only if such Lender has provided the Borrower
the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 4.04(b)(ii)
Certificate) required to be provided pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04(b),

reduced rate of withholding or deduction).

All of the foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Since June 30, 2005, there has been no change in the business, operations, property, assets,
liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of Trizec, Borrower or any of their respective
Subsidiaries that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

to have a Material Adverse Effect.

any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as
a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party in writing to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which

necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at
such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided.
7.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used for
the general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to,
making Investments and paying Dividends as, and to the extent, permitted by this Agreement);
provided, however, proceeds of Swingline Loans may not be used to repay any then
outstanding Swingline Loans.
(b) Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of
any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. At the time of each Credit Event

Restricted Property taken as a whole or (y) the assets of Trizec and its Subsidiaries taken as a

operations of Trizec, the Borrower and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Returns
accurately reflect all liability for taxes of each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries for
the periods covered thereby except for any such taxes that, either individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Trizec, the
Borrower and each of their respective Subsidiaries has paid all material taxes payable by it other

the other properties of Trizec, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and, so long
as the disclosure of such information could not result in a violation of, or expose Trizec, the
Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any material liability under, any Applicable
Laws, or any agreements with unaffiliated third parties that are binding on Trizec, the Borrower or
any of their respective Subsidiaries or on any property of any of them, to examine the books of

and accounts of Trizec, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries with its officers and
independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable extent
as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably request. Any Lender requesting any such
visit, inspection, examination or discussion shall coordinate same with the Administrative Agent.
(b) At a date to be mutually agreed upon between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
the Borrower will, at the request of the Administrative Agent, hold an annual meeting with all of

a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Borrower (x) specifying the Borrowing Base
Property to be removed and the Release Date therefor, (y) certifying that no Default or Event of

extent, required by Section 4.02(b).
-52-
Upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 8.13(b) with respect to a
Borrowing Base Property, such Borrowing Base Property shall no longer be a Borrowing Base Property

forth in Section 8.13(b) with respect to such Borrowing Base Property, such Borrowing Base Property
shall no longer be a Borrowing Base Property and shall be removed from the Borrowing Base, in each

the Subsidiary Guarantor which is the owner thereof shall, unless such Subsidiary Guarantor is a
Subsidiary Guarantor described in Section 8.13(f) or such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to own or
lease one or more other Borrowing Base Properties, be released from its obligations under the
Subsidiaries Guaranty without any further action on the part of any party hereto. To the extent
that any Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty by
operation of this Section 8.13(c), the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to, and hereby
agrees that it will, at the request and expense of the Borrower, execute such documentation as may
be necessary to evidence such release (which documentation shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).
(d) In the event that the Borrowing Base Properties included in the Borrowing Base (excluding
any Excluded Borrowing Base Properties) shall not be greater than 80% leased in the aggregate
(based on rentable square footage) (the “Lease-Up Condition”), then, within 10 days of such
condition not being satisfied, the Borrower shall designate (an “Excluded Borrowing Base Property
Designation”) one or more Borrowing Base Properties as Excluded Borrowing Base Properties such
that, following such designation, the Lease-Up Condition will be satisfied. Each Excluded
Borrowing Base Property Designation shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender
and shall be accompanied by (i) a new Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 8.01(j)(v) and
(ii) any repayment of outstanding Loans as, and to the extent, required by Section 4.02(b).

specifying the Equity Interests to be sold and (x) certifying that no Default or Event of
Default then exists or, after taking the actions described in clause (iii) below in this Section

satisfied as to the Borrowing Base Property(ies) continued to be owned or ground leased directly or
indirectly by such Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) a new Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section
8.01(j)(vi), and (iii) any repayment of outstanding Loans as, and to the extent, required by

after the Effective Date, (ii) owns, directly or indirectly, a Real Estate Asset and (iii) is not
then a Credit Party, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a
counterpart of the Subsidiaries Guaranty together with all other relevant officer’s certificates,
resolutions, opinions of counsel and other documentation of the type described in Sections 5.02 and
5.03 as such Person would have had to deliver if such Person were a Credit Party on the Effective

materially impair the use of such Restricted Property in the operation of the business of such
Credit Party or Borrowing Base Property Owner or (ii) that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings with respect to which adequate reserves have been maintained in accordance

restrictive in any material respect than the terms and conditions under this Agreement and the

only to the extent of Unsecured Indebtedness incurred by it on or prior to the Effective Date under

them permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make or maintain Investments in any Real Estate Asset that

SECTION 12. The Administrative Agent.
12.01 Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DBTCA as
Administrative Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be
deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on their behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and
agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties
hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its respective officers,
directors, agents, employees or affiliates.
12.02 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit
Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees
or affiliates shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by it or them
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless
-102-
caused
by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall
be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or
the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any
obligations
in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein
or therein.
12.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it
deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans, the issuance of and participation in
Letters of Credit and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its
own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of
any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its
possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness,
validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries
or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
12.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have
the right to request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If the Administrative
Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action
(including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and
until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the
Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without
limiting the foregoing, no Lender or the holder of any Note shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders.
12.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone
message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper
Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other
-103-
Credit
Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the
Administrative Agent (which may be counsel for any of the Credit Parties) and, with respect to
other matters, upon advice of independent public accountants or other experts selected by it.
12.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Credit Parties, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative
Agent, in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders,
for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on,
asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its respective duties
hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).
12.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its
obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may
exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein;
and the term “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless
the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage
in any kind of banking, investment banking, advisory, trust or other business with any Credit Party
or any Affiliate of a Credit Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and
may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
12.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment,
transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any
Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties

Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c)
above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the
Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(e) Upon resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the

or transfer any of their respective rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other
Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any attempted such assignment
-107-
or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and, provided further, that,
although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such
Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder and the transferee, assignee or
participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided
further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant
shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond
the Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of
any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being
understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to
Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable
hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then
in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory
reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation,
and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be
permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not
increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower if
formed of any of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any
such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such
participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the
participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined
as if such Lender had not sold such participation.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other
Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstandings
obligations hereunder) to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at
least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any
affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent
company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same
investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment
advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause
(x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund
that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such Lender or by
an Affiliate of such investment advisor, or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to
at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders (provided that,
in the case of an assignment pursuant to this clause (y) at a time when no Specified Default or
Event of Default exists, to the extent that the assignor Lender is to retain a Commitment after
giving effect to such assignment, such Commitment shall be in
an amount equal to at least $1,000,000), of such Commitment or Commitments and/or outstanding
Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a
party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
provided that (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the
Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the Note or
Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the
-108-
Borrower for any
lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the
Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new
Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section
1.06 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments
and/or outstanding Loans, (iii) the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, unless a
Default or an Event of Default then exists, the Borrower (each of which consents shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required in connection with any assignment to an
Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y) above, (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at
the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a
non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, and (v) promptly after such assignment, the Borrower shall
have received from the Administrative Agent notice of any such assignment and of the identity,
nationality and applicable lending office of any such Eligible Transferee that is not a United
States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), together with the copy of the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement relating thereto and, provided further, that such
transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the
Register pursuant to Section 13.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section
13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its
assigned Commitments and/or outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this
Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United
States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax
purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to
the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section
4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or
any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 1.15
or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under
Section 1.11 or 4.04 in excess of those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to
such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs
(although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement,
shall be obligated to pay the costs which are not in excess of those being charged by the
respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment and any subsequent increased costs of the type
described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may
grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (“SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time
by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the
Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make
to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) such Granting Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Granting Lender in
connection with such Granting Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (iv) no SPC shall have any right to approve any amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the
principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such grant of funding option, or postpone any date fixed for any
-109-
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder,
in each case to the extent subject to such grant of funding option, (v) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (vi) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to provide all or any of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder
shall utilize the applicable Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent and as if such
Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for
which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or
other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.04(b), any SPC may (i) with
notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and
without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans
to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Administrative Agent
and, unless a Default or an Event of Default exists, the Borrower (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed)) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account
of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis consistent with the restrictions set forth in Section 13.16 any non-public information
relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety,
guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and
Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such
Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notice to the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund
may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee or to a collateral agent
providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to its trustee or
such collateral agent, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the
transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.
13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under
any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and the Administrative
Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or
further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The
rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or
any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall
entitle such Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
-110-
13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of
the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the
Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata
share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of
the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.
(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by
voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s
lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents,
or otherwise, except as a result of Sections 1.15 or 13.04), which is applicable to the payment of
the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings or Fees, of a sum which with respect
to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of
such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed
and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such
excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an
interest in the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a
proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any
portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding
Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which
require, or permit, differing payments to be made (i) to the various Tranches hereunder and (ii) to
Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.
13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to
the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise
disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders and except, in the case of interim financial
statements, for normal year-end adjustments); provided that except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all computations determining the Borrower’s compliance with Section 9
and the definition of Applicable Margin and all other defined financial terms relating to the
Borrower shall utilize accounting principles and policies in the United States in conformity with
those used to prepare the historical financial statements described in Section 7.05(a); and provided further, that the
financial covenants set forth in Sections 8.11 and 9.10-9.14 shall assume that Trizec owns 100% of
the Equity Interests in the Borrower.
(b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day, except
in the case of Letters of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in
the period for which such interest or Fees are payable; provided that all computations of
interest on Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Prime Lending Rate shall be based on the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case maybe).

by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
13.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the
“Effective Date”) on which (i) the Borrower, Trizec, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have

Date shall have been deemed to have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination that one
or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although the occurrence of the Effective Date
shall not release the Borrower from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the
applicable conditions contained in Section 5). The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower
and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.
13.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of
this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or
construction of any provision of this Agreement.
13.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit
Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless
such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Borrower and the Required
Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the
consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being directly modified
in the case of the following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or
Note or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection
with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the
principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial
definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate
or interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release of
-113-
Trizec or all or
substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their respective obligations under the Guaranty
to which it is (or they are) a party (except, in each case, as expressly permitted by the Credit
Documents), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12 (except for technical
amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford
the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Commitments on
the Effective Date), (iv) amend the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with
the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may
be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the
extensions of Revolving Loans are included on the Effective Date) or (v) consent to the assignment
or transfer by the Borrower or Trizec of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;
provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) amend,
modify or waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 6 with respect to the making of
Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Competitive Bid Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit,
without the written consent of the Majority Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments, (2)
increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of
such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants,
Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not
constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available
portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such
Lender), (3) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, alter the Swingline Lender’s rights or
obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, (4) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to
Letters of Credit, (5) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the
Administrative Agent, or (6) without the consent of the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche
effected thereby, amend the definition of Majority Lenders (it being understood that, with the
consent of the Required Lenders, additional
extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the
Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are
included on the Effective Date).
(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the
provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first
proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one
or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall
have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are
treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such
non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 1.15 so
long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed
change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments
and/or repay all outstanding Loans of such Lender in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or
4.01(b), provided that, unless the Commitments that are terminated, and Loans repaid,
pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition
of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who
in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to
preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined after
-114-
giving effect to the proposed action)
shall specifically consent thereto; provided further, that in any event the Borrower shall
not have the right to replace a Lender or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of
such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the
second proviso to Section 13.12(a).
13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in
Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and
termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.
13.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for
the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14
would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.06 or
4.04 in excess of those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrower, in
accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay
the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs
of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).
13.15 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as
the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the
“Register”) on which it will record the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment
in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such
recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in
respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender
and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to this Agreement shall
not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative
Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all
amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.
The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loans shall be recorded by the
Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a
properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b).
Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative
Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Commitment and
any related Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall
surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the
request of such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on,
asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this
Section 13.15, provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative
Agent for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent that same resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
-115-
13.16 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will (x) use its reasonable efforts
not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its affiliates and to its
or its affiliates’ respective employees, officers, auditors, examiners, advisors or counsel or to
another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its reasonable good
faith discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided
such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such
Lender) any non-public information with respect to any of the Credit Parties or any of their
respective Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Credit Document by the Borrower or Trizec and (y) use any such non-public information (A) for
purposes relating to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, in connection with (i) the
evaluation, administration, monitoring or enforcement of any of the Credit Documents or the
Obligations or (ii) satisfying or cooperating in any Person’s regulatory or other compliance
requirements) or (B) in connection with other services at the request or for the benefit of Trizec,
the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries, provided that any Lender may disclose any
such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or
appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal
regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve
Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United
States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect of any
summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply
with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in
connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or
any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee shall be subject to
the provisions of this Section 13.16.
13.17 Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 1.11, 1.12, 2.06 or 4.04, unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it
is obligated to pay an amount under the respective Section within 180 days after the later of (x)
the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender has
actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability,
reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender
shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to said Sections
1.11, 1.12, 2.06 or 4.04, as the case may be, to the extent the costs, loss, expense or liability,
reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital are incurred or
suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to such Lender giving notice to the
Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Sections 1.11, 1.12,
2.06, or 4.04, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the circumstances
giving rise to such claims have a retroactive effect, such 180-day period shall be extended to
include the period of such retroactive effect. This Section 13.17 shall have no applicability to
any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.06 or 4.04.
13.18 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective
-116-
permitted
successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
13.19 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. To the extent that any Credit Party has or
hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process
(whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives
such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder to the extent permitted by applicable law
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this
Section 13.19 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of
1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.
13.20 Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents to make payments in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or
converted into any
currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery
results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full
amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or
enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes
necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other
currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation
Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative
Agent in good faith or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such
currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in
each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter
referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees
to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser
amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the
Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated
in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date.
(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 13.20, such amounts
shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation
Currency.
13.21 Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereby agree that all agreements among them under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid,
-117-
or agreed to be paid,
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money
loaned to the Borrower and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any
covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If due to any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the
extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such
circumstance any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law
which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then
outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds
the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding
Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the
Obligations and other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full term of such Indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of
interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the
entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section 13.21 shall control
every other provision of this Agreement and all agreements among the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders.
13.22 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Act”), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower and the other Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, which information includes
the name and address of such Persons and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
such Persons in accordance with the Act, and the Borrower and Trizec agree to provide such
information from time to time to any Lender.
SECTION 14. Trizec Guaranty.
14.01 Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and
the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and in recognition of the
direct benefits to be received by Trizec from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the
Letters of Credit, Trizec hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows: Trizec hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and
prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the
Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations to
the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Trizec, unconditionally and
irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the other
Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred
by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any
amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of
the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or
order of any court or administrative body
-118-
having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its
property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any
such claimant (including the Borrower), then and in such event Trizec agrees that any such
judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Trizec, notwithstanding any
revocation of this Trizec Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower,
and Trizec shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such
payee.
14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Trizec unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all
of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by the
Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.05, and irrevocably and
unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand,
in lawful money of the United States.
14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of Trizec hereunder is primary, absolute and
unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of
Trizec hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of
payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty,
undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed
Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or
(d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or
(e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such
Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Trizec waives any
right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such
proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section
14.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations or of any security therefor.
14.04 Independent Obligation. The obligations of Trizec hereunder are independent of
the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against Trizec whether or not action is brought against any
other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other
party or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Trizec waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability
hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which
operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of
limitations as to Trizec.
14.05 Authorization. Trizec authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or
demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without
affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:
(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time
of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed
-119-
Obligations
(including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest
or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or
indirectly in respect thereof, and this Trizec Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed
Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;
(ii) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell,
exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and
in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or
howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset
thereagainst;
(iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower, any other
Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
(iv) release or substitute any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties or one or more
endorsers, guarantors or other obligors;
(v) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or
any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment
of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors other than the
Guaranteed Creditors;
(vi) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or
liabilities of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or
liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;
(vii) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this
Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any of the instruments or agreements referred to
herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit
Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or
(viii) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of
common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Trizec from its liabilities under
this Trizec Guaranty.
14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the
capacity or powers of Trizec or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or
agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created
in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
14.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to
Trizec is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and
if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such
indebtedness of the Borrower to Trizec shall be collected, enforced and received by Trizec for
the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations to the
-120-
Guaranteed Creditors,
but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Trizec under the other provisions
of this Trizec Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Trizec of any note or negotiable instrument
evidencing any such indebtedness of the Borrower to Trizec, Trizec shall xxxx such note or
negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trizec hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that
it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result
of this Trizec Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
14.08 Waiver. (a) Trizec waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the
Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held
from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any
Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Trizec waives any defense based on or arising out of any
defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of
the Borrower, Trizec, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or
unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation
from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to
the extent of such payment. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any
security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial
or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to
the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the
Guaranteed Creditors may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without
affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Trizec hereunder except to the extent the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Trizec waives any defense arising out of any such election
by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right
of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Trizec against the Borrower or any
other party or any security.
(b) Trizec waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including
without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of
acceptance of this Trizec Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or
additional Guaranteed Obligations. Trizec assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the
risks which Trizec assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise Trizec of information known
to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
14.09 Payments. All payments made by Trizec pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in Dollars and will
be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of
Sections 4.03 and 4.04.
14.10 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of Trizec and the Guaranteed
Creditors that this Trizec Guaranty shall be enforced against Trizec to the fullest
-121-
extent
permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is
sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Trizec under this Trizec Guaranty
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation,
because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers),
then the amount of Trizec’s obligations under this Trizec Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced
and Trizec shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible
under applicable law.

amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, this
“Guaranty”), made by each of the undersigned guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and,
together with any other entity that becomes a guarantor hereunder pursuant to Section 26 hereof,
the “Guarantors”). Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein
and defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Trizec Holdings Operating LLC (the “Borrower”), Trizec Properties, Inc.
(“Trizec”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent (together with any successor
administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), have entered into an Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2005 (as may be further amended, amended and
restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing
for the making of Loans to, and the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower
as contemplated therein (the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent are herein
called the “Creditors”);
WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower;
WHEREAS, it is a condition to the making of Loans to, and the issuance of Letters of Credit
for the account of, the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed
and delivered this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans to, and the issuance
of Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly,
desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the conditions described in the preceding
paragraph.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each
Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby
makes the following representations and warranties to the Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees
with each Creditor as follows:
1. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to the Creditors, the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) of (a) the principal of and interest on (including any interest
accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim
in any such proceeding) the Notes issued by, and the Loans made to, the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement, and all reimbursement obligations and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit
issued under the Credit Agreement and (b) all other obligations (including obligations which, but
for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy
Exhibit I
Page 2
Code, would become due), liabilities and indebtedness owing by (i) the Borrower and/or Trizec
to the Creditors under the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document to which the Borrower
and/or Trizec are parties (including without limitation, indemnities, Fees and interest thereon) or
(ii) any other Guarantor under each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party (each other
Guarantor in such capacity, a “Credit Document Party”), whether now existing or hereafter
incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement and each such other
Credit Document and the due performance and compliance by the Borrower and Trizec and each Credit
Document Party (the Borrower, Trizec and each Credit Document Party being sometimes referred to
herein individually as a “Primary Obligor”, and collectively as the “Primary
Obligors”) with all of the terms, conditions and agreements contained in all such Credit
Documents (all such principal, interest, liabilities, indebtedness and obligations being herein
collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor understands, agrees, and
confirms that the Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations against such Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, any other
Primary Obligor, against any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or under any other guaranty
covering all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall constitute a guaranty
of payment, and not of collection.
2. Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and
irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or
payable by any Primary Obligor upon the occurrence in respect of any Primary Obligor of any of the
events specified in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally and irrevocably,
jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Creditors, or order, on
demand, in legal tender of the United States.
3. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, joint and several, absolute and
unconditional and is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the
indebtedness of any Primary Obligor whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any
other guarantor or any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be
affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation:
(a) any direction as to application of payment by any Primary Obligor or by any other party, (b)
any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any
other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other
guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in
personnel by any Primary Obligor, (e) any payment made to any Creditor on the indebtedness which
any Creditor repays any Primary Obligor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to
the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (f) any
action or inaction by the Creditors as contemplated in Section 6 hereof or (g) any invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any
security therefor.
4. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Primary Obligor, and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Primary Obligor and whether or not any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Primary Obligor be joined
Exhibit I
Page 3
in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof. Any payment by any Primary Obligor or other circumstance which operates to toll any
statute of limitations as to any Primary Obligor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations
as to each Guarantor.
5. Each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any
liability to which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action
by the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party
liable thereon (including such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other
Primary Obligor).
6. Any Creditor may at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to,
any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing
the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole
or in part:
(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of
payment of, increase, renew or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or
decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the
Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, renewed or altered;
(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange,
release, surrender, impair, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any
property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the
Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or
indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;
(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Primary Obligor, any other
Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any

hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability
(whether due or not) of any Primary Obligor to creditors of any Primary Obligor other than the

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities
of any Primary Obligor to the Creditors regardless of what liabilities of any Primary Obligor
remain unpaid;

Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise

(h) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive such
Guarantor of its right to subrogation against any Primary Obligor to recover full indemnity for any
payments made pursuant to this Guaranty; and/or
(i) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law,
give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this
Guaranty.
7. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply
under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No
failure or delay on the part of any Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or
demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Creditor to
any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for
any Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Primary Obligor or the officers,
directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made
or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
8. Any indebtedness or other obligations of any Primary Obligor now or hereafter held by any
Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness and other obligations of such Primary Obligor
to the Creditors, and such indebtedness and other obligations of any Primary Obligor to any
Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for
the Creditors and be paid over to the Creditors on account of the indebtedness and other
obligations of such Primary Obligor to the Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any
manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Creditors that it
will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of
this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until
all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
9. (a) Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law and
cannot be waived) to require the Creditors to: (i) proceed against any Primary Obligor, any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; (ii) proceed
against or exhaust any security held from any Primary Obligor, any other Guarantor, any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the
Creditors’ power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any
defense of any Primary Obligor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of
Exhibit I
Page 5
the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability
of any Primary Obligor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any
cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Primary Obligor other than payment
in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any
security held by the Administrative Agent or the other Creditors by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, or
exercise any other right or remedy the Creditors may have against any Primary Obligor or any other
party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Each
Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Creditors, even though such
election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right
or remedy of such Guarantor against any Primary Obligor or any other party or any security.
(b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices,
including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor,
notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new
or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of each Primary Obligor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent
of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Creditors shall
have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or
risks.
10. The Creditors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the
Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other
Creditors shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it
being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty. The Creditors further
agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner or
stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner or stockholder is also a Guarantor
hereunder).
11. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to, and issue Letters of Credit for the
account of, the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor represents, warrants and
covenants that:
(a) Such Guarantor (i) is a duly organized and validly existing Company in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the Company power and authority to
own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently
proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires such qualification except
for failures to be so qualified which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Exhibit I
Page 6
(b) Such Guarantor has the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the
terms and provisions of this Guaranty and each other Credit Document to which it is a party and has
taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this
Guaranty and each such other Credit Document. Such Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this
Guaranty and each other Credit Document to which it is a party, and this Guaranty and each such
other Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof or
thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
(c) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty or any
other Credit Document to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions
hereof and thereof, will (i) contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or
regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition
of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such
Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, credit
agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to which such Guarantor is a
party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or
(iii) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent
organizational documents) of such Guarantor.
(d) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing,
recording or registration with (except as have been obtained or made), or exemption by, any
governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or
is required for, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by such Guarantor or
any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) the legality, validity,
binding effect or enforceability of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such
Guarantor is a party.
(e) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened (i) with respect to this
Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) with respect to
such Guarantor that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.
12. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective Date and until the
termination of the Total Commitment and when no Note or Letter of Credit remains outstanding and
all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, such Guarantor will comply, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all of the provisions, covenants and agreements contained in
Sections 8 and 9 of the Credit Agreement which may be applicable to such Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries, and will take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are
necessary to be taken or not taken so that it is not in violation of any provision, covenant or
agreement contained in Section 8 or 9 of the Credit Agreement which may be applicable to such
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, and so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the
actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.
Exhibit I
Page 7
13. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of each Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and of the
Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including
in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by each
Creditor).
14. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of the Creditors and their successors and assigns; provided that no
Guarantor may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Guaranty.
15. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated except with the written consent of each Guarantor directly affected thereby and with the
written consent of the Required Lenders (or to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the Credit
Agreement, with the written consent of each Lender).
16. Each Guarantor acknowledges that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Credit
Documents has been made available to its principal executive officers and such officers are
familiar with the contents thereof.
17. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including,
without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, each Creditor is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to
any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to set off and to
appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any
time held or owing by such Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against
and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Creditor under this
Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and
although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or
unmatured.
18. All notices, requests, demands or other communications pursuant hereto shall be deemed to
have been duly given or made when delivered to the Person to which such notice, request, demand or
other communication is required or permitted to be given or made under this Guaranty, addressed to
such party at (i) in the case of any Creditor, as provided in the Credit Agreement, and (ii) in the
case of any Guarantor, at the address set forth opposite such Guarantor’s signature below.
19. If claim is ever made upon any Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or
amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the
aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order
of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or
(ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant
(including any Primary Obligor) then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such
judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor,
notwithstanding any revocation hereof or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Primary
Obligor, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees
Exhibit I
Page 8
hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never
originally been received by any such payee.
20. (a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE CREDITORS AND OF THE UNDERSIGNED
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which
any Guarantor is a party may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United
States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case which are located in the
County of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby
irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the
jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Guarantor hereby further irrevocably waives any claim
that any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over such Guarantor, and agrees not to plead or
claim in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document
to which such Guarantor is a party brought in any of the aforesaid courts that any such court lacks
personal jurisdiction over such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further irrevocably consents to the
service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the
mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at
its address set forth opposite its signature below, such service to become effective 30 days after
such mailing. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process
and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding
commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party that such
service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of
any of the Creditors to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law) any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the
aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any other
Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party brought in the courts referred to in clause (a)
above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that
such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(c) EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH CREDITOR (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY)
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS
A PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
21. In the event that all of the capital stock of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise
disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor shall upon
consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition
is to the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower) be released from this Guaranty automatically
and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each such
Exhibit I
Page 9
Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood
and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the
capital stock of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of
this Section 21). A Guarantor also shall be released from this Guaranty as, and to the extent, set
forth in Section 8.13(c) of the Credit Agreement.
22. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this
Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be
determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of
each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant
Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a
Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such
Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant
Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate
payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date
of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor
shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of
the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount
less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and
including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an
amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such
Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied
by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution
pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to
adjustment to the time of each computation, as provided in the proceeding sentences;
provided, that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Guaranteed
Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash, it being expressly recognized and agreed by
all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 22
against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s
obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations
owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 22: (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution
Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as
defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii)
the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as
defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor
shall mean the amount by which the fair salable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any
Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent
liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty)
on such date. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution
arising pursuant to this Section 22, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other
Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably
paid in full in cash. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to
contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such
contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive
Exhibit I
Page 10
its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such
waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.
23. Each Guarantor and each Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty)
hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any
similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each
Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after
giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights to contribution
pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and other
Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum
amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
24. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts
executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Guarantors and the Administrative
Agent.
25. All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or
other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Borrower under Sections 4.03 and
4.04 of the Credit Agreement.
26. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to
execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall
become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a counterpart hereof and delivering the same to the
Administrative Agent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be executed and delivered as of
the date first above written.

For the period from the date hereof through the stated maturity of all New
Financing, each of (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as whole and

3. For purposes of this Certificate, I, or senior officers of the Company with whom I have
consulted (“Designated Officers”), have performed the following procedures as of and for

I and/or certain Designated Officers have made inquiries of

Identified Contingent Liabilities associated with the Company and its
Subsidiaries. |
|
|
(c) |
|
I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the

|
|
(d) |
|
With respect to Identified Contingent Liabilities, I and/or
Designated Officers: |
|
1. |
|
inquired of certain officers of each of the
Company and its Subsidiaries who have responsibility for legal,
financial and accounting matters as to the existence and estimated
liability with respect to all contingent liabilities associated with
each of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and |
|
|
2. |
|
confirmed with officers of each of the Company
and its Subsidiaries that to such officers’ knowledge, (i) all

maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result
therefrom as of the date hereof. |
|
(e) |

I hereby certify that, to my knowledge, all material Identified
Contingent Liabilities that may arise from any pending litigation, asserted
claims and assessments, guarantees, uninsured risks and other Identified

of such Identified Contingent Liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated
Liabilities) have been considered after giving effect to the New Financing in
making the certification set forth in paragraph 4 below, and with respect to
each such Identified Contingent Liability, the estimable maximum amount of
liability with respect thereto was used in making such certification. |

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED
AFFILIATE DEBT AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AFFILIATE DEBT AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (as may be further
amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, this
“Agreement”), dated as of October 31, 2005, made by each of the undersigned (each, a
“Party” and, together with any entity that becomes a Party to this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8 hereof, the “Parties”) for the benefit of the Senior Creditors (as defined
below). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement referred to below.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Trizec Holdings Operating LLC (the “Borrower”), Trizec Properties, Inc.
(“Trizec”), the Lenders party thereto from time to time and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent” and,
together with the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and their respective successors and assigns and any
other lenders from time to time party to the Credit Agreement are hereinafter referred to as, the
“Lender Creditors”), have entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as
of October 31, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the making of Loans to, and the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower as contemplated therein (as used
herein the term “Credit Agreement” means the Credit Agreement described above in this
paragraph, as the same may be further amended, amended and restated, extended, renewed, restated,
supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, and including any agreement extending the
maturity of or restructuring (including, but not limited to, the inclusion of additional borrowers
or guarantors thereunder or any increase in the amount borrowed), all or any portion of the
indebtedness under such agreement or any successor agreement, whether or not with the same agent,
trustee, representative, lenders or holders);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Subsidiaries Guaranty, each Subsidiary Guarantor has jointly and
severally guaranteed to the Lender Creditors the payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations (as
defined in the Subsidiaries Guaranty);
WHEREAS, it is a condition to the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit under the
Credit Agreement that each Credit Party that is an obligor on any Affiliate Debt and each obligee
in respect of such Affiliate Debt from time to time become parties hereto in accordance with the
requirements of the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, each of the Parties hereto desires to execute this Agreement to satisfy the
conditions described in the immediately preceding paragraph;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties
hereto, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Exhibit K
Page 2
1. The Subordinated Debt (as defined in Section 6 hereof) and all payments of principal,
interest and all other amounts thereunder are hereby, and shall continue to be, subject and
subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness
(as defined in Section 6 hereof) to the extent and in the manner set forth herein. The foregoing
shall apply, notwithstanding the availability of any collateral to the Senior Creditors (as defined
in Section 6 hereof) or the holders of Subordinated Debt or the actual date and time of execution,
delivery, recordation, filing or perfection of any security interests granted with respect to the
Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Debt, or the lien or priority of payment thereof, and in
any instance wherein the Senior Indebtedness or any claim for the Senior Indebtedness is
subordinated, avoided or disallowed, in whole or in part, under Title 11 of the United States Code
(the “Bankruptcy Code”) or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law. In the
event of a proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, for insolvency, liquidation,
reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code
or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”),
the Senior Indebtedness shall include all interest accrued on the Senior Indebtedness, in
accordance with and at the rates specified in the Senior Indebtedness, both for periods before and
for periods after the commencement of any of such proceedings, even if the claim for such interest
is not allowed pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law.
2. Each Subordinated Creditor (as defined in Section 6 hereof) hereby agrees that until all
Senior Indebtedness has been irrevocably repaid in full in cash:
(a) Such Subordinated Creditor shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Required Senior Creditors (as defined in Section 6 hereof), which consent may be withheld or
conditioned in the Required Senior Creditors’ sole discretion, commence, or join or
participate in, any Enforcement Action (as defined in Section 6 hereof).
(b) In the event that (i) all or any portion of any Senior Indebtedness becomes due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) any Default or Event of
Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing or would result from such
payment on the Subordinated Debt, (iii) any Subordinated Creditor (or any Person on behalf
of any Subordinated Creditor) receives any payment or prepayment of principal, interest or
other amount, in whole or in part, of (or with respect to) the Subordinated Debt in
violation of the terms of the Credit Agreement or this Agreement or (iv) any distribution,
division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law
or otherwise, is made of all or any part of the property, assets or business of any Credit
Party or the proceeds thereof, in whatever form, to any creditor or creditors of such Credit
Party or to any holder of indebtedness of such Credit Party or by reason of any liquidation,
dissolution or other winding up of any Credit Party or its respective business, or of any
receivership or custodianship for any Credit Party or of all or substantially all of its
respective property, or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any proceeding by or against any Credit Party for any relief under
any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or laws, federal, foreign, state or local,
or any law, federal, foreign, state or local relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment
of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension, then, and in any such event, no
payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) may be
made on account of any Subordinated Debt and
Exhibit K
Page 3
if any such payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property, securities or otherwise, has been paid or delivered with respect to any or all of
the Subordinated Debt or that may have been paid to, or received by, any Subordinated
Creditor, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor
for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and shall forthwith be paid or delivered directly to
the Senior Creditors for application to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent
necessary to make payment in full in cash of all sums due under the Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior
Creditors. In any such event, the Senior Creditors may, but shall not be obligated to,
demand, claim and collect any such payment or distribution that would, but for these
subordination provisions, be payable or deliverable with respect to the Subordinated Debt.
In the event of the occurrence of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)
above and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash and
satisfied and all of the obligations of the Credit Parties to the Senior Creditors have been
performed in full, no payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property,
securities or otherwise) shall be made to or accepted by any Subordinated Creditor in
respect of the Subordinated Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above,
if one or more of the events referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence
of this clause (b) is in existence the Required Senior Creditors may agree in writing (and
in their sole and absolute discretion) that payments may be made with respect to the
Subordinated Debt which would otherwise be prohibited pursuant to the provisions contained
above, provided that any such waiver shall be specifically limited to the respective
payment or payments which the Required Senior Creditors agree may be so paid to any
Subordinated Creditor in respect of the Subordinated Debt;
(c) If any Subordinated Creditor shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation or
otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any of the assets or properties of
any Credit Party, that lien, estate, right or other interest shall be subordinate in right
of payment to the Senior Indebtedness and the lien of the Senior Indebtedness as provided
herein, and each Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any and all rights it may acquire by
subrogation or otherwise to any lien of the Senior Indebtedness or any portion thereof until
such time as all Senior Indebtedness has been irrevocably repaid in full in cash;
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Subordinated Creditor
shall pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, convey or sell any Subordinated Debt or any
interest in any Subordinated Debt to any entity (other than an Affiliate of such entity
which becomes a Subordinated Creditor hereunder);
Exhibit K
Page 4
(e) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default
and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Credit Party and each Subordinated
Creditor shall within ten (10) days thereafter furnish the Administrative Agent with a
statement, duly acknowledged and certified setting forth the original principal amount of
the Subordinated Debt, the unpaid principal balance thereof, all accrued but unpaid interest
and any other sums due and owing thereunder, the rate of interest, the monthly payments and
that to the best knowledge of such Credit Party or Subordinated Creditor there exists no
defaults under its Subordinated Debt, or if any such defaults exist, specifying the defaults
and the nature thereof;
(f) In any case commenced by or against any Credit Party under the Bankruptcy Code or
any other provision thereof, or any other federal, foreign, state or local statute (a
“Reorganization Proceeding”), the Required Senior Creditors shall have the exclusive
right to exercise any voting rights in respect of the claims of any Subordinated Creditor
against such Credit Party;
(g) If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness
theretofore made (whether by any Credit Party or any other Person or by enforcement of any
right of setoff or otherwise) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of
Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or such other Persons), the
subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made;
(h) Without limiting the provisions of clause (f) above, no Subordinated Creditor shall
object to the entry of any order or orders approving any cash collateral stipulations,
adequate protection stipulations or similar stipulations executed by the Senior Creditors in
any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code;
provided, however, that no Subordinated Creditor shall be obligated to agree
to the entry of any such order or stipulation with respect to its own bankruptcy estate in
any case in which it is the debtor; and
(i) Each Subordinated Creditor waives any marshalling rights with respect to the Senior
Creditors in any reorganization proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code.
3. Each Credit Party hereby covenants and agrees that it will not permit to exist any
Affiliate Debt owed by it unless each obligee and obligor with respect to such Affiliate Debt is
(or concurrently with the creation transfer or assumption thereof becomes) a Party to this
Agreement.
4. Any payments made to, or received by, any Subordinated Creditor in respect of any guaranty
or security in support of the Subordinated Debt given by (or on behalf of) any Credit Party shall
be subject to the terms of this Agreement and applied on the same basis as payments made directly
by the obligor under such Subordinated Debt. To the extent that any Credit Party (other than the
respective obligor or obligors which are already Parties hereto) provides a guaranty or any
security in support of any Subordinated Debt, the Party which is the
Exhibit K
Page 5
lender of the respective Subordinated Debt will cause each such Person to become a Party
hereto (if such Person is not already a Party hereto) not later than the date of the execution and
delivery of the respective guarantee or security documentation, provided that any failure
to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 4 will have no effect whatsoever on the
subordination provisions contained herein (which shall apply to all payments received with respect
to any guarantee or security for any Subordinated Debt, whether or not the Credit Party (or the
Person acting on behalf of such Credit Party) furnishings such guarantee or security is a Party
hereto).
5. Each Subordinated Creditor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no payments will be accepted
by it in respect of the Subordinated Debt (unless promptly turned over to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness as contemplated by Section 2 above) to the extent such payments would be prohibited
under any Senior Indebtedness or under this Agreement.
6. Definitions. As and in this Agreement, the terms set forth below shall have the
respective meanings provided below:
“Enforcement Action” shall mean any acceleration of all or any part of the
Subordinated Debt, any foreclosure proceeding, the exercise of any power of sale, the
obtaining of a receiver, the seeking of default interest, the suing on, or otherwise taking
action to enforce the obligation of any Credit Party to pay any amounts relating to any
Subordinated Debt, the exercising of any banker’s lien or rights of set-off or recoupment,
the institution of a Bankruptcy Proceeding against any Credit Party, or the taking of any
other enforcement action against any asset or property of any Credit Party.

each Credit Party (whether as obligor, guarantor or otherwise) to the Lender Creditors,
whether now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the
Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents to which it is at any time a party and the
due performance and compliance by each Credit Party with the terms of each such Credit
Document.
“Subordinated Creditor” shall mean each Party that is a lender or holder of any
Subordinated Debt and together with each such Party’s successors and assigns (except to the
extent that any such assignee of a Subordinated Creditor is not required to sign a
counterpart of this Agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement by reason of it not being an
Affiliate of a Credit Party).
“Subordinated Debt” shall mean the principal of, interest on, and all other
amounts owing from time to time in respect of, all Affiliate Debt (including, without
limitation, pursuant to guarantees thereof or security therefor given by, or on behalf of,

Exhibit K
Page 6
7. Each Party agrees to be fully bound by all of the terms and provisions contained in this
Agreement.
8. It is understood and agreed that any Credit Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any
Credit Party that is required to become a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to
the requirements of the Credit Agreement or this Agreement shall become a Party hereunder by
executing a counterpart signature page hereto and delivering same to the Administrative Agent.
9. No failure or delay on the part of any Party or any holder of Senior Indebtedness in
exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. In addition, the
Subordinated Creditors acknowledge that the Senior Creditors may, without in any way affecting the
obligations of the Subordinated Creditors with respect hereto or under this Agreement, at any time
or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment
of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, alter or increase, any Senior Indebtedness
or amend, modify or supplement any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Senior
Indebtedness or any other document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any
other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of
any default or event of default thereunder and the release of any collateral securing such Senior
Indebtedness, all without notice to or assent from any Subordinated Creditor.
10. Each Party acknowledges that to the extent that no adequate remedy at law exists for
breach of its obligations under this Agreement, in the event any Party fails to comply with its
obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall have
the right to obtain specific performance of the obligations of such defaulting Party, injunctive
relief or such other equitable relief as may be available.
11. Any notice to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent in
accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
12. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions
of any Subordinated Debt, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
13. No Person other than the Parties, the Senior Creditors from time to time, and their
successors and assigns as holders of the Senior Indebtedness and/or any Subordinated Debt shall
have any rights under this Agreement.
14. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed
an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
15. No amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be
effective against a party against whom the enforcement of such amendment, supplement, modification,
waiver or termination is asserted, unless such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or
termination was made in a writing signed by such party, provided
Exhibit K
Page 7
that amendments hereto shall be effective as against the Senior Creditors if executed and
delivered by the Required Senior Creditors at such time.
16. In case any one or more of the provisions confined in this Agreement, or any application
thereof, shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, and any other application thereof,
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
17. Each Party makes the following representations, warranties and agreements, all of which
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the

(b) Each Party has the requisite Company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
the terms and provisions of this Agreement and has taken all necessary Company action to authorize
the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement. Each Party has duly executed and
delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
(c) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Party of this Agreement, nor
compliance by such Party with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision
of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets

loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which such Party is a
party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or
