THE LOANS
THE LOANS
SECTION 2.01Β Β Β Β The Loans.
(a)Β Β Β Β Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Banks severally agrees to make a revolving loan to each Borrower up to such Bankβs Pro Rata Share of such Borrowerβs Sublimit. Each Bank shall from time to time advance and re-advance to Borrower an amount equal to such Bankβs Availability to such Borrower (each such loan by a Bank, a βLoanβ; such loans, collectively, the βLoansβ). Each borrowing of the Loans shall be made by DolphinΒ LLC, Fairlane LLC or TOLLC or simultaneously by any of DolphinΒ LLC, Fairlane LLC or TOLLC and shall be the separate obligation of the Borrower making such borrowing and not of the other Borrowers; provided that pursuant to the Guaranty, inter alia, Dolphin LLC, Fairlane LLC and TOLLC shall guaranty each otherβs Obligations (subject to the limitation on the liability of Dolphin
LLC set forth in the Guaranty). Each borrowing by a Borrower shall be made ratably from the Banks in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(b)Β Β Β Β For purposes of determining usage of a Bankβs Loan Commitment (or Sublimit), a Bankβs Pro Rata Share of the amount of outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be advanced to TOLLC.
(c)Β Β Β Β Within the limits set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow from time to time under this SectionΒ 2.01 and prepay from time to time pursuant to SectionΒ 2.10 (subject, however, to the restrictions on prepayment set forth in such Section) and thereafter re-borrow amounts which have been repaid pursuant to this Section 2.01.
(d)Β Β Β Β Subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Loans may be outstanding as (1) Base Rate Loans, (2) LIBOR Loans or (3)Β a combination of the foregoing, as a Borrower shall elect and notify Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.15. The LIBOR Loan and Base Rate Loan of each Bank shall be maintained at such Bankβs Applicable Lending Office for its LIBOR Loan and Base Rate Loan, respectively.
(e)Β Β Β Β The obligations of the Banks under this Agreement are several, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make any advance of a Loan to be made by such other Bank. However, the failure of any Bank to make any advance of the Loan to be made by it hereunder on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make any advance of its Loan specified hereby to be made on such date.
(f)Β Β Β Β Borrowers may reallocate the Sublimits between them (and any New Borrower) no more frequently that once per quarter and no more frequently than twice per annum by not less than twenty-one (21) daysβ prior written notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly forward such notice to the Banks). Each proposed Sublimit must be such that at the time such Sublimit becomes effective such Sublimit for the applicable Property does not exceed the Borrowing Base Value of such Property. (In order to increase the Sublimit for Dolphin above the current amount, DolphinΒ LLC will be required to amend the Mortgage on Dolphin so as to increase the amount secured thereby, pay the required documentary and intangible taxes and increase the amount of Administrative Agentβs title insurance policy with respect to Dolphin). If Borrowers request that the Sublimit of a Property be increased by more than fifteen percent (15%) above the Sublimit as originally established in this Agreement and the Appraised Value of such Property was based on an appraisal prepared (as last updated) more than one (1) year prior to the Borrowersβ notice, then at the request of Administrative Agent (which request must be made within ten (10) Banking Days after notification to Administrative Agent of such proposed increase) Administrative Agent shall (at Borrowersβ expense) obtain an update of the Appraised Value of such Property, in which event the effective date of such increased Sublimit shall be delayed until such current Appraised Value is determined. At any time a Sublimit is changed, Borrowers shall execute replacement notes as necessary to evidence any such changed Sublimit. The Sublimits shall not at any time aggregate in excess of the Total Loan Commitment.
SECTION 2.02Β Β Β Β Purpose. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for general business purposes, including distributions to TRG for TRGβs general business purposes. In
no event shall proceeds of the Loans be used for any illegal purpose or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying βmargin stockβ within the meaning of Regulation U.
SECTION 2.03Β Β Β Β Advances, Generally. The Initial Advance shall be made upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (or at such later time as Borrower elects so long as such conditions remain satisfied). Subsequent advances shall be made no more frequently than weekly upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The amount of each advance to each Borrower subsequent to the Initial Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (unless less than $1,000,000 is available for disbursement pursuant to the terms hereof at the time of any subsequent advance, in which case the amount of such subsequent advance shall be equal to such remaining availability) and in integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount.
SECTION 2.04Β Β Β Β Procedures for Advances. Each Borrower requesting an advance shall submit to Administrative Agent a request for each advance hereunder, in the form of EXHIBIT Gβ1 for DolphinΒ LLC, EXHIBIT Gβ2 for Fairlane LLC and EXHIBIT Gβ3 for TOLLC, stating the amount requested by such Borrower and certifying the purpose for which such advance is to be used, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date (x) in the case of LIBOR Loans, three (3) Banking Days, and (y) in the case of Base Rate Loans, one (1) Banking Day prior to the date the advance is to be made. Administrative Agent, upon its receipt and approval of the requisite documents for the advance, will so notify the Banks either by telephone or by facsimile. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of each advance, each Bank shall, through its Applicable Lending Office and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount to be advanced by it on such day available to Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agentβs Office and in immediately available funds for the account of the applicable Borrower. The amount so received by Administrative Agent shall, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the applicable Borrower, in immediately available funds, by Administrative Agentβs either, at the applicable Borrowerβs option, crediting an account of the applicable Borrower designated by such Borrower and maintained with Administrative Agent at Administrative Agentβs Office or wiring said amount to another account of Borrower designated by it in its request for advance.
SECTION 2.05Β Β Β Β Additional Conditions to Advances. Each advance of the Loans shall be subject, in addition to the other limitations and conditions set forth herein, to, at Administrative Agentβs request, Administrative Agentβs receipt of a certificate, of the sort required by paragraph (3)(b) of Section 6.09, which shall demonstrate each Borrowerβs and TRGβs compliance, as of the end of the most recently ended calendar quarter for which financial results are required hereunder to have been reported by each Borrower and TRG (and taking into account pro-forma adjustments for all acquisitions and Dispositions subsequent to the end of such quarter required to be reported pursuant to paragraph (6) of Section 6.09), with all covenants enumerated in said paragraph (3)(b), assuming that the amount that will be outstanding under the Loans following the making of the advance that is being requested was outstanding as of the end of such most recently ended calendar quarter.
For purposes of the definition of βApplicable Marginβ in Section 1.01, the Property Debt Yield shall be adjusted in accordance with the foregoing covenant compliance calculations (i) as
of the date of each advance of the Loans, (ii) as of each date that financial results are or were required to be reported in accordance with Section 6.09(3), whichever is earlier, and (iii) as of the date of release or addition of a Property in accordance with Section 12.06.
SECTION 2.06Β Β Β Β Interest Periods; Renewals. In the case of the LIBOR Loans, each Borrower shall select an Interest Period of any duration in accordance with the definition of Interest Period in Section 1.01, subject to the following limitations: (1) no Interest Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date, (2) if an Interest Period would end on a day which is not a Banking Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next Banking Day, unless such Banking Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which event such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Banking Day and (3) only three (3) discrete segments for each Borrower of a Bankβs Loan bearing interest at a LIBOR Interest Rate, for a designated Interest Period, pursuant to a particular Election, Conversion or Continuation, may be outstanding at any one time (each such segment of each Bankβs Loan corresponding to a proportionate segment of each of the other Banksβ Loans).
Upon notice to Administrative Agent as provided in SectionΒ 2.15, the applicable Borrower may Continue any LIBOR Loan on the last day of the Interest Period of the same or different duration in accordance with the limitations provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default exists, unless a Borrower shall otherwise notify Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the current Interest Period, such Borrower shall be deemed to have automatically elected to continue its LIBOR Loan as of the end of the current Interest Period for a new one (1) month Interest Period.
SECTION 2.07Β Β Β Β Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Bank on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of its Loans, at a rate per annum as follows: (1) for Base Rate Loans at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (2) for LIBOR Loans at a rate equal to the applicable LIBOR Interest Rate plus the Applicable Margin. In addition, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
The interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall change, without notice or demand of any kind, effective as of the day when the Base Rate changes. Interest on Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Interest shall be calculated on Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans for the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which interest is being charged and on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year (which will result in a greater amount of interest than if interest was calculated on the basis of a 365/366 day year).
Accrued interest shall be due and payable in arrears upon and with respect to any payment or prepayment of principal and on the first Banking Day of each calendar month; provided, however, that interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.
SECTION 2.08Β Β Β Β Fees.
(a)Β Β Β Β Β Β Borrowers shall, during the term of the Loans, pay to Administrative Agent (in proportion to their respective Sublimits) for the account of each Bank a facility fee (the βFacility
Feeβ) computed on the daily Loan Commitment of such Bank (irrespective of usage), at a rate per annum equal to 0.25%, calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed. The accrued facility fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date after the Closing Date, and upon the Maturity Date (as stated, by acceleration or otherwise) or earlier termination of the Loan Commitments.
(b)Β Β Β Β Borrowers shall pay, to Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the parties specified therein, the fees provided for, on the dates specified, in the Supplemental Fee Letter.
SECTION 2.09Β Β Β Β Notes. The Loan made by each Bank under this Agreement shall be evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with, a promissory note of the applicable Borrower in the form of EXHIBIT C-1 for DolphinΒ LLC, EXHIBIT C-2 for Fairlane LLC and EXHIBIT C-3 for TOLLC, duly completed and executed by the applicable Borrower, in a principal amount equal to such Bankβs Loan Commitment allocable to such Borrower, payable to such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office (each such note, as the same may hereafter be amended, modified, extended, severed, assigned, substituted, renewed or restated from time to time, including any substitute or additional note(s) pursuant to 3.07 or 12.05, a βNoteβ; all such notes, collectively, the βNotesβ). The Notes shall mature, and all outstanding principal and accrued interest and other sums thereunder shall be paid in full, on the Maturity Date, as the same may be accelerated.
Each Bank is hereby authorized by each Borrower to endorse on the schedule attached to the Notes held by it, the amount of each advance, and each payment of principal received by such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office(s) on account of its Loan, which endorsement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding balance of the Loan made by such Bank. The failure by any Bank to make such notations with respect to its Loan or each advance or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or otherwise in respect of the Loans.
In case of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Bankβs Note, the applicable Borrower shall, upon its receipt of an affidavit of an officer of such Bank as to such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and an appropriate indemnification (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Borrower), execute and deliver a replacement Note to such Bank in the same principal amount and otherwise of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
SECTION 2.10Β Β Β Β Prepayments. Each Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Banking Dayβs notice to Administrative Agent in the case of the Base Rate Loans, and at least two (2) Banking Daysβ notice to Administrative Agent in the case of LIBOR Loans, prepay the Loans made to such Borrower, provided that (1) any partial prepayment under this Section shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000, (2) each prepayment under this Section shall include all interest accrued on the amount of principal prepaid through the date of prepayment and (3) each prepayment shall include any amounts payable to a Bank pursuant to Section 3.05 as a result of such prepayment of a LIBOR Loan.

(a)Β Β Β Β Β Β At any time, any Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty,
to terminate any unused Loan Commitments made available to such Borrower, in whole or in part, from time to time, provided that (1)Β such Borrower shall give notice of each such termination to Administrative Agent, specifying the amount of the termination, no later then 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date which is fifteen (15) days prior to the effectiveness of such termination (a copy of which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly send to each Bank), (2) the Loan Commitments of each of the Banks must be terminated ratably and simultaneously with those of the other Banks and (3) each partial termination of the Loan Commitments as a whole (and corresponding reduction of the Total Loan Commitment) shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. The reallocation of a Sublimit from one Borrower to another shall not constitute a termination of Loan Commitments hereunder.
(b)Β Β Β Β The Loan Commitments, to the extent terminated, may not be reinstated.
SECTION 2.12Β Β Β Β Method of Payment. Each Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under its Notes not later than 2:00Β p.m. (New York time) on the date when due in Dollars to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agentβs Office in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent will thereafter, on the day of its receipt of each such payment, cause to be distributed to each Bank (1) such Bankβs appropriate share (based upon the respective outstanding principal amounts and rate(s) of interest under the related Notes of the Banks) of the payments of principal and interest in like funds for the account of such Bankβs Applicable Lending Office and (2) fees payable to such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event payments received by Administrative Agent from any Borrower before 2:00Β p.m. (New York time) are not distributed by Administrative Agent to a Bank on the day of its receipt thereof, Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such Bankβs appropriate share thereof at the Federal Funds Rate until distributed to such Bank.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes is due on any day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest and other fees, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.13Β Β Β Β Elections, Conversions or Continuation of Loans. Subject to the provisions of Article III and Sections 2.06 and 2.14, each Borrower shall have the right to Elect to have all or a portion of any advance of the Loans made to it be LIBOR Loans, to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, to Convert LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, or to Continue LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans, at any time or from time to time, provided that (1) such Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such Election, Conversion or Continuation as provided in Section 2.15 and (2) a LIBOR Loan may be Converted or Continued only on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Election, Continuation and Conversion shall be applicable to each Bankβs Loan in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. In no event shall any Borrower have the right to Elect to have Loans be LIBOR Loans, Convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans or Continue LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans, in each case if an Event of Default exists.
SECTION 2.14Β Β Β Β Minimum Amounts. With respect to each Loan made to a Borrower as a whole, each Election and each Conversion by such Borrower shall be in an amount at least
equal to $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000.
SECTION 2.15Β Β Β Β Certain Notices Regarding Elections, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. Notices by any Borrower to Administrative Agent of Elections, Conversions and Continuations of LIBOR Loans shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the number of Banking Days prior to the date of the relevant Election, Conversion or Continuation specified below:
Notice | Number ofΒ Banking Days Prior |
Conversions into Base Rate Loans | one (1) |
Elections of, Conversions into or Continuations as, LIBOR Loans | three (3) |
Promptly following its receipt of any such notice, Administrative Agent shall so advise the Banks either by telephone or by facsimile. Each such notice of Election shall specify the portion of the amount of the advance that is to be LIBOR Loans (subject to Section 2.14) and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to Section 2.06); each such notice of Conversion shall specify the LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans to be Converted; and each such notice of Conversion or Continuation shall specify the date of Conversion or Continuation (which shall be a Banking Day), the amount thereof (subject to Section 2.14) and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to Section 2.06). In the event that any Borrower fails to Elect to have any portion of an advance made to it be LIBOR Loans, the entire amount of such advance shall constitute Base Rate Loans. In the event that any Borrower fails to Continue LIBOR Loans made to it within the time period and as otherwise provided in this Section, such LIBOR Loans will be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current applicable Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans.
SECTION 2.16Β Β Β Β Late Payment Premium. Each Borrower shall, at Administrative Agentβs option, pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks a late payment premium in the amount of 4% of any payments of interest under the Loans made more than fifteen (15) days after the due date thereof, which shall be due with any such late payment.

(a)Β Β Β Β Β Β TOLLC may request, in lieu of advances of proceeds of its Loans, that Administrative Agent issue unconditional, irrevocable standby letters of credit (each, a βLetter of Creditβ) for the account of TOLLC, payable by sight drafts, for such beneficiaries and with such other terms as TOLLC shall specify. TOLLC may request Letters of Credit be issued the purposes of which are for its own general business purposes or the general business purposes of TRG or its Affiliates.
(b)Β Β Β Β The amount of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed the lesser of (1) $50,000,000 less the amount of all other Letters of Credit then issued and outstanding or (2) the amount available for disbursement to TOLLC hereunder, it being understood that the amount of each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding shall effect a reduction, by an equal amount, of the
amount available for disbursement hereunder as provided in Section 2.01.
(c)Β Β Β Β There shall be no minimum amount in which a Letter of Credit may be issued. The procedures for the issuance of each Letter of Credit shall be the same as the procedures applicable to the making of advances as set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.04, and such issuance shall be subject to TOLLCβs compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02. Upon Administrative Agentβs receipt of a request for the issuance of, and upon its issuance of, each Letter of Credit (or any material amendment thereto), it shall promptly notify each of the Banks.
(d)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agentβs issuance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to TOLLCβs satisfaction of all conditions precedent to its entitlement to an advance of proceeds of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.02.
(e)Β Β Β Β Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date of no later than the earlier of the Maturity Date or one (1) year after the date of its issuance.
(f)Β Β Β Β In connection with, and as a further condition to the issuance of, each Letter of Credit, TOLLC shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an application for the Letter of Credit on Administrative Agentβs standard form therefor, together with such other documents, opinions and assurances as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require.
(g)Β Β Β Β In connection with each Letter of Credit, TOLLC hereby covenants to pay to Administrative Agent the following fees, each payable quarterly in arrears (on the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of the Letter of Credit): (i) a fee for the account of the Banks, computed daily on the amount of the Letter of Credit issued and outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the βBanksβ L/C Fee Rateβ (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) a fee for Administrative Agentβs own account, computed daily on the amount of the Letter of Credit issued and outstanding at a rate per annum of 0.125%. For purposes of this Agreement, the βBanksβ L/C Fee Rateβ shall mean, a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans plus, if an Event of Default exists, four percent (4%) per annum. It is understood and agreed that the last installment of the fees provided for in this paragraph (g) with respect to any particular Letter of Credit shall be due and payable on the first day of the calendar quarter following the return, undrawn, or cancellation of such Letter of Credit (or on the date the Loan matures or this Agreement is terminated, if earlier). In addition, TOLLC shall pay Administrative Agentβs customary administrative fees and expenses in connection with the issuance, extension, amendment, drawing and cancellation of all Letters of Credit.
(h)Β Β Β Β Immediately upon written notice (which may be by electronic transmission) from Administrative Agent of any drawing under a Letter of Credit, each Bank shall, notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the non-satisfaction of any conditions precedent to the making of an advance of the Loans, advance proceeds of its Loan, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such drawing (plus interest accrued thereon), which advance shall be made to Administrative Agent to reimburse Administrative Agent, for its own account, for such drawing. Each Bank further acknowledges that its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of drawings under Letters of Credit as aforesaid shall survive the Banksβ termination of this Agreement or enforcement of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. In the event that any Loan 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 any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency Law with respect to TOLLC or any other Borrower), then each Bank shall purchase (on or as of the date such Loan would otherwise have been made) from Administrative Agent a participation interest in any unreimbursed drawing in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing (plus interest accrued thereon).
(i)Β Β Β Β Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at the request of Administrative Agent, TOLLC shall (i) deposit with Administrative Agent cash collateral in the amount of all the outstanding Letters of Credit, which cash collateral shall be held by Administrative Agent as security for TOLLCβs obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit and (ii) execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such documents as Administrative Agent requests to confirm and perfect the assignment of such cash collateral to Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.18Β Β Β Β Extension Of Maturity. Borrowers shall have the option (the βExtension Optionβ) to extend the original Maturity Date for a single period of one (1) year. Subject to the conditions set forth below, Borrowers may exercise the Extension Option by delivering a notice to Administrative Agent between thirty (30) and ninety (90) days prior to the original Maturity Date (a βNotice to Extendβ), stating that each Borrower has elected to extend the original Maturity Date for one (1) year. Borrowersβ right to exercise the Extension Option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) there shall exist no Event of Default on both the date Borrowers deliver the Notice to Extend to Administrative Agent and on the original Maturity Date, (ii) Borrowers shall have paid, no later than one (1) Banking Day prior to the original Maturity Date, to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank, a non-refundable extension fee equal to 0.20% of such Bankβs Loan Commitment, (iii) Borrowers and TRG shall be in compliance with the covenants contained in Articles VII and VIII, as evidenced by a certificate from TRG of the sort required by paragraph (3) of Section 6.09 (based on financial results for the most recent calendar quarter for which TRG is required to report financial results), (iv) the Total Loan Commitment does not exceed the sum of the Borrowing Base Values of the Property or Properties then securing the Loans (as reflected in an update to the appraisal(s) delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(f), paragraph (7) of Section 4.01 or subparagraph (b)(v) of Section 12.06, as the case may be), it being understood that Borrowers may comply with the condition set forth in this clause (iv) by exercising their right to terminate unused Loan Commitments in accordance with Section 2.11 or their right to reallocate the Sublimits between them in accordance with Section 2.01(f), and (v) Administrative Agent and Borrower shall have entered into documentation reasonably required by Administrative Agent to document such extension (including any modification of Sublimits or termination of unused Loan Commitments as referred to in clause (iv)).

SECTION 3.01Β Β Β Β Additional Costs. Each Borrower shall pay directly to each Bank from time to time on demand such amounts as such Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any increased costs which such Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining a LIBOR Loan, or its obligation to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan, or its obligation
to Convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of its LIBOR Loan or such obligations (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called βAdditional Costsβ), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:
(1)Β Β Β Β changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement or the Notes in respect of any such LIBOR Loan (other than changes in the rate of general corporate, franchise, branch profit, net income or other income tax imposed on such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or
(2)Β Β Β Β (other than to the extent the LIBOR Reserve Requirement is taken into account in determining the LIBOR Rate at the commencement of the applicable Interest Period) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, deposit insurance or assessment, minimum capital, capital ratio or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including any LIBOR Loan or any deposits referred to in the definition of βLIBOR Interest Rateβ in SectionΒ 1.01), or any commitment of such Bank (including such Bankβs Loan Commitment hereunder); or
(3)Β Β Β Β imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Bank determines that it shall incur Additional Costs in maintaining a LIBOR Loan, such Bank shall provide notice thereof to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent), which notice shall include the dollar amount of the Additional Costs, and each Borrower shall have the option, which option must be exercised within five (5) Banking Days of such Borrowerβs receipt of such notice, to prepay such LIBOR Loan or to Convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 3.05.
Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank either (1) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Bank which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBOR Interest Rate is determined as provided herein or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes loans based on the LIBOR Interest Rate or (2) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Bank so elects by notice to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Bank to permit Elections of, to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (in which case the provisions of Section 3.04 shall be applicable) until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect.
Determinations and allocations by a Bank for purposes of this Section of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to the first or second paragraph of this Section, on its costs or rate of return of making or maintaining its Loan or portions thereof or on amounts receivable by it in respect of its Loan or portions thereof, and the amounts required to compensate such Bank under this
Section, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
To the extent that changing the jurisdiction of a Bankβs Applicable Lending Office would have the effect of minimizing Additional Costs, each such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to make such a change, provided that same would not otherwise be disadvantageous to each such Bank.
No Bank shall be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this Section relating to any period more than ninety (90) days prior to the date notice thereof is given to Borrowers by such Bank.
SECTION 3.02Β Β Β Β Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the LIBOR Interest Rate for any Interest Period:
(1)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of βLIBOR Interest Rateβ in Section 1.01 are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for the LIBOR Loans as provided herein; or
(2)Β Β Β Β a Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive) and promptly notifies Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of βLIBOR Interest Rateβ in Section 1.01 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined do not adequately cover the cost to such Bank of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrowers prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks (or, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (2) above, the affected Bank) shall be under no obligation to permit Elections of LIBOR Loans, to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or to Continue LIBOR Loans and each Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the affected outstanding LIBOR Loans, either (x) prepay the affected LIBOR Loans or (y) Convert the affected LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.13.
SECTION 3.03Β Β Β Β Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, to allow Elections or Continuations of a LIBOR Loan or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, then such Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrowers thereof and such Bankβs obligation to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan, or to permit Elections or Continuations of, to Continue, or to Convert its Base Rate Loan into, a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended (in which case the provisions of Section 3.04 shall be applicable) until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain a LIBOR Loan.
SECTION 3.04Β Β Β Β Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligations of any Bank to permit an Election of a LIBOR Loan, to Continue its LIBOR Loan, or to Convert its Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, are suspended pursuant to Sections 3.01 or 3.03 (each LIBOR Loan so affected
being herein called an βAffected Loanβ), such Bankβs Affected Loan shall be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for the Affected Loan (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Sections 3.01 or 3.03, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to Borrowers).
To the extent that such Bankβs Affected Loan has been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Bankβs Affected Loan shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loan and such Bank shall have no obligation to Convert its Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan.
In the event that the conditions giving rise to the suspension of any Bankβs obligations to permit an Election of a LIBOR Loan, to Continue its LIBOR Loan, or to Convert its Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan shall cease to exist, such Bank shall provide Borrowers with prompt notice of same (with a copy to Administrative Agent), and such Bank shall again be obligated to permit an Election of a LIBOR Loan, to Continue its LIBOR Loan, or to Convert its Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 3.05Β Β Β Β Certain Compensation. Each Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Bank, upon the request of such Bank through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense which such Bank determines is attributable to:
(1)Β Β Β Β any payment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of a LIBOR Loan made by such Bank to such Borrower on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise; or
(2)Β Β Β Β any failure by such Borrower for any reason to Convert or Continue a LIBOR Loan to be Converted or Continued by such Bank on the date specified therefor in the relevant notice under Section 2.15; or
(3)Β Β Β Β any failure by such Borrower to borrow (or to qualify for a borrowing of) a LIBOR Loan which would otherwise be made hereunder on the date specified in the relevant Election notice under Section 2.15 given or submitted by such Borrower.
Without limiting the foregoing, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the present value (using as the discount rate an interest rate equal to the rate determined under clause (2) below) of the excess, if any, of (1) the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or Continued (or not Converted, Continued or borrowed) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation (or failure to Convert, Continue or borrow) to the last day of the then current applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to Convert, Continue or borrow, to the last day of the applicable Interest Period which would have commenced on the date specified therefor in the relevant notice) at the applicable rate of interest for the LIBOR Loan provided for herein, over (2) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) based upon the interest rate which such Bank would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits, for amounts comparable to
such principal amount and maturities comparable to such period. A determination of any Bank as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 3.06Β Β Β Β Capital Adequacy. If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any Regulatory Change or other applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (including the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision) charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (including the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bankβs obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent), each Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts (βAdditional Compensationβ) as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction with respect to a Loan made to such Borrower. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis therefor, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. No Bank shall be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this Section relating to any period more than ninety (90) days prior to the date notice thereof is given to Borrowers by such Bank.

If any Bank (an βAffected Bankβ) (i) makes demand upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) Additional Costs pursuant to Section 3.01 or Additional Compensation pursuant to Section 3.06 or (ii) gives notice to Borrowers that such Bank is unable to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as a result of a condition described in Section 3.03 or clause (2) of Section 3.02, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand or notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay Additional Costs or Additional Compensation or causing said Section 3.03 or clause (2) of Section 3.02 to be applicable), as the case may be, give notice (a βReplacement Noticeβ) to Administrative Agent (which will promptly forward a copy of such notice to each Bank) of Borrowersβ intention either (x) to prepay in full the Affected Bankβs Notes and to terminate the Affected Bankβs entire Loan Commitment or (y) to replace the Affected Bank with another financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (the βReplacement Bankβ) designated in such Replacement Notice.
In the event Borrowers opt to give the notice provided for in clause (x) above, and if the Affected Bank shall not agree within thirty (30) days of its receipt thereof to waive the payment of the Additional Costs or Additional Compensation in question or the effect of the circumstances described in Section 3.03 or clause (2) of Section 3.02, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, Borrowers may (notwithstanding the provisions of clause (2) of Section 2.11(a)) terminate the Affected Bankβs entire Loan Commitment, provided that in connection therewith it pays to the Affected Bank all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Affected Bankβs Notes, together with all other amounts, if any, due from Borrowers to the Affected
Bank, including all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed under this Article III.
In the event Borrowers opt to give the notice provided for in clause (y) above, and if (i) Administrative Agent shall, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Replacement Notice, notify Borrowers and each Bank in writing that the proposed Replacement Bank is reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (ii) the Affected Bank shall not, prior to the end of such thirty (30)-day period, agree to waive the payment of the Additional Costs or Additional Compensation in question or the effect of the circumstances described in Section 3.03 or clause (2) of Section 3.02, then the Affected Bank shall, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, assign its Notes and all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Replacement Bank, and the Replacement Bank shall assume all of the Affected Bankβs rights and obligations, pursuant to an agreement, substantially in the form of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, executed by the Affected Bank and the Replacement Bank. In connection with such assignment and assumption, the Replacement Bank shall pay to the Affected Bank an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount under the Affected Bankβs Notes plus all interest accrued thereon, plus all other amounts, if any (other than the Additional Costs in question), then due and payable to the Affected Bank; provided, however, that prior to or simultaneously with any such assignment and assumption, Borrowers shall have paid to such Affected Bank all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed under this Article III. Upon the effective date of such assignment and assumption and the payment by the Replacement Bank to Administrative Agent of a fee, for Administrative Agentβs own account, in the amount of $4,500, the Replacement Bank shall become a Bank Party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the Affected Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section, substitute Notes shall be issued to the Replacement Bank by the Borrowers, in exchange for the return of the Affected Bankβs Notes. The obligations evidenced by such substitute Notes shall constitute βObligationsβ for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Mortgages. In connection with the Borrowersβ execution of substitute Notes as aforesaid, Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the substitute Notes and any related documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If the Replacement Bank is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 10.13.
Each Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Banks shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall be reasonably required in connection with and to effectuate the foregoing.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG BANKS
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG BANKS
SECTION 10.01Β Β Β Β Appointment, Powers and Immunities of Administrative Agent. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and any other Loan Document or required by law, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a fiduciary or trustee for any Bank except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds (nor shall Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to any Borrower nor shall any Bank have any fiduciary duty to any Borrower or to any other Bank). Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any officer, partner or official of any Borrower or any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document or instrument referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein, for the perfection or priority of any Lien securing the Obligations or for any failure by any Borrower or any other obligor to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrowers shall pay any fee agreed to by Borrowers and Administrative Agent with respect to Administrative Agentβs services hereunder. Administrative Agent may designate other Banks as being a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Managing Agent or other similar title. The conferring of any such title on a Bank shall not be deemed to confer any additional rights or responsibilities on any such Bank, and no part of the rights or responsibilities of Administrative Agent shall be deemed transferred thereby.
SECTION 10.02Β Β Β Β Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Bank as the holder of the Loan made by it for all purposes hereof and shall not be required to deal with any Person who has acquired a Participation in any Loan or Participation from a Bank. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks and any other holder of all or any portion of any Loan or Participation.
SECTION 10.03Β Β Β Β Defaults. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than those relating to the payment of principal or interest) unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Bank or a Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a βNotice of Default.β In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Banks, shall (subject to Section 10.07) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default which is continuing, or with respect to the exercise of remedies, including with respect to realization on, or operation or disposition of, any Collateral, as shall be directed by the Required Banks; provided that, unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall determine in good faith (x)Β is necessary to protect the Collateral or the best interests of the Banks and (y)Β needs to be taken prior to the time a determination is reached as to such matter by the Required Banks. (To the extent, if any, that the authority granted to the Administrative Agent in the preceding sentence is more limited than that granted the Administrative Agent generally in the Loan Documents to exercise default remedies, said limitation shall solely benefit the Banks and not any Borrower or TRG.) In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to law.
SECTION 10.04Β Β Β Β Rights of Administrative Agent as a Bank. With respect to its Loan Commitment and the Loan provided by it, Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term βBankβ or βBanksβ shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bank. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to (on a secured or unsecured basis), and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Borrower (and any Affiliates of any Borrower) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.05Β Β Β Β Sharing of Costs by Banks; Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Bank agrees to pay its ratable share, based on the respective outstanding principal balances under its Notes and the other Notes, of any expenses incurred (and not paid or reimbursed by Borrowers after demand for payment is made by Administrative Agent) by or on behalf of the Banks in connection with any Default or Event of Default, including, without limitation, costs of enforcement of the Loan Documents and any advances to pay taxes or insurance premiums or otherwise to preserve the Lien of any Mortgage or to preserve or protect any Mortgaged Property and all operating and capital expenses of any Mortgaged Property after title thereto is obtained by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. In the event a Bank fails to pay its share of expenses as aforesaid, and all or a portion of such unpaid amount is paid by Administrative Agent and/or one or more of the other Banks, then the defaulting Bank shall reimburse Administrative Agent and/or the other Bank(s) for the portion of such unpaid amount paid by it or them, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate from the date of payment by Administrative Agent and/or the other Bank(s). In addition, each Bank agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.04 or under the other applicable provisions of any Loan Document, but without limiting the obligations of any Borrower under Section 12.04 or such other provisions), for its Pro Rata Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 12.04 or under any other applicable provisions of any Loan Document) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents or instruments; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for (1) any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified, (2) any loss of principal or interest with respect to Administrative Agentβs Loan or (3) any loss suffered by Administrative Agent in connection with a swap or other interest rate hedging arrangement entered into with any Borrower.
SECTION 10.06Β Β Β Β Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks. Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis of the Collateral and of the credit of each Borrower and TRG, and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Borrower or TRG of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties (including, without limitation, any Property) or books of any Borrower or TRG. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Borrower, TRG or any other Affiliate of any Borrower or TRG which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. Administrative Agent shall not be required to file this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document or instrument referred to herein or therein, for record or give notice of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document or instrument referred to herein or therein, to anyone.
SECTION 10.07Β Β Β Β Failure of Administrative Agent to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further assurances (which may include cash collateral) of the indemnification obligations of the Banks under Section 10.05 in respect of any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for an additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
SECTION 10.08Β Β Β Β Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign on thirty (30) daysβ prior written notice to Borrowers and the Banks. Administrative Agent may be removed by the Required Banks (determined exclusive of the Administrative Agent) in the event of Administrative Agentβs gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement, provided that Borrowers and the other Banks shall be promptly notified thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent, so long as it is reasonably acceptable to the Required Banks, shall be that Bank, excluding the resigning Administrative Agent, then having the greatest Loan Commitment (or, if more than one Bank, one of such Banks, as selected by the Required Banks.). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resignation or removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be one of the Banks. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 10.08, if no Event of Default exists the identity of any successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the approval of Borrowers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Required Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent promptly so notify Borrowers and the other Banks. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agentβs removal or resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.09Β Β Β Β Amendments Concerning Agency Function. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, and/or functions hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
SECTION 10.10Β Β Β Β Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to any Borrower on account of the failure of any Bank to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Bank on account of the failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
SECTION 10.11Β Β Β Β Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of any Borrower or any Bank, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States, provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and the Banks thereof.
SECTION 10.12Β Β Β Β Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent Adjustments.
(a)Β Β Β Β Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank or the applicable Borrower (either one as appropriate being the βPayorβ) prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment hereunder to Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan or such Borrower is to make payment to Administrative Agent, as the case may be (either such payment being a βRequired Paymentβ), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor will not make the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made in full to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date. If and to the extent the Payor shall not have in fact so made the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount made available to it together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Banking Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.
(b)Β Β Β Β If, after Administrative Agent has paid each Bankβs share of any payment received or applied by Administrative Agent in respect of the Loans, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency Law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Bank shall, at Administrative Agentβs request, promptly return its share of such payment or application to Administrative Agent, together with such Bankβs proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application. In addition, if a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Administrative Agent its share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined
by such court.
SECTION 10.13Β Β Β Β Withholding Taxes. Each Bank represents that it is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it hereunder without the withholding of any tax and will furnish to Administrative Agent such forms, certifications, statements and other documents as Administrative Agent or Borrowers may request from time to time to evidence such Bankβs exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or to enable Administrative Agent to comply with any applicable Laws relating thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, if any Bank is not created or organized under the Laws of the United States or any state thereof, such Bank will furnish to Administrative Agent a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI in respect of all payments to be made to such Bank by Borrowers or Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN establishing such Bankβs complete exemption from United States withholding tax in respect of payments to be made to such Bank by Borrowers or Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or such other forms, certifications, statements or documents, duly executed and completed by such Bank as evidence of such Bankβs exemption from the withholding of U.S. tax with respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to such Bank in respect of any Loan or Participation or such Bankβs Loan Commitment or obligation to purchase Participations until such Bank shall have furnished to Administrative Agent the requested form, certification, statement or document.
SECTION 10.14Β Β Β Β Pro Rata Treatment. Each advance of proceeds of the Loans shall be made by the Banks ratably according to the amounts of their respective Loan Commitments.
SECTION 10.15Β Β Β Β Sharing of Payments Among Banks. If a Bank shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan made by it through the exercise of any right of setoff, bankerβs lien, counterclaim, or by any other means (including direct payment), and such payment results in such Bank receiving a greater payment than it would have been entitled to had such payment been paid directly to Administrative Agent for disbursement to the Banks, then such Bank shall promptly purchase for cash from the other Banks Participations in the Loans made by the other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Banks shall share ratably the benefit of such payment. To such end the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of Participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a Participation in the Loans made by other Banks may exercise all rights of setoff, bankerβs lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such Participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness of any Borrower.
SECTION 10.16Β Β Β Β Possession of Documents. Each Bank shall keep possession of its own Note(s). Administrative Agent shall hold all the other Loan Documents and related documents in its possession and maintain separate records and accounts with respect thereto, and shall permit the Banks and their representatives access at all reasonable times to inspect such Loan Documents, related documents, records and accounts.
SECTION 10.17Β Β Β Β Minimum Commitment by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.05, Administrative Agent agrees, so long as there exists no Event of Default and it remains Administrative Agent, to maintain a Loan Commitment in an amount no less than $15,000,000, and further agrees to hold and not to participate or assign any of such amount other than an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or to the Parent or a majority-owned subsidiary of Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.18Β Β Β Β Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender (defined below), then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)Β Β Β Β the Facility Fee shall cease to accrue on the Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 10.18(c)(v)) ;
(b)Β Β Β Β the Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on or approve any action under this Agreement requiring the consent of the Banks, the Super Majority Banks or the Required Banks (including without limitation any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 12.02), and the Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks or Super Majority Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder; provided that such Bank shall retain its right to approve those matters affecting such Bank which require the approval of such Bank under clauses (1) and (2) of the first paragraph of Section 12.02.
(c)Β Β Β Β if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time such Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)Β Β Β Β provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date on which the applicable Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, the obligations of such Defaulting Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit (such Defaulting Lenderβs βLC Exposureβ) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lendersβ outstanding Loan Commitments (it being understood that under no circumstance shall any Bank at any time be liable for any amounts in excess of its Loan Commitment) plus such Defaulting Lenderβs obligations under such Letters of Credit does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lendersβ Loan Commitments;
(ii)Β Β Β Β if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent only, the Borrowerβs obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Letters of Credit (such Defaulting Lenderβs βCollateralized LC Exposureβ) by depositing with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Defaulting Lenderβs Collateralized LC Exposure (to the extent not reallocated pursuant to clause (i)). Such collateral is hereby pledged to Administrative Agent and shall be held and applied for the benefit of the Administrative Agent only for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding;
(iii)Β Β Β Β if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lenderβs LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(g) with respect to such Defaulting Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of the Letters of Credit which is cash collateralized;
(iv)Β Β Β Β if the obligations of the Banks are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Letter of Credit fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.17(g) shall be adjusted in accordance with such reallocations;
(v)Β Β Β Β if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of outstanding Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Bank hereunder, (x) all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lenderβs Loan Commitment that was utilized by such Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.17(g) with respect to such Defaulting Lenderβs obligations under the Letters of Credit shall accrue but shall be payable to the Administrative Agent until and to the extent that such obligations under the Letters of Credit are reallocated and/or cash collateralized and (y) any other amounts distributable to the Defaulting Lender shall first be used to satisfy any obligations which the Defaulting Lender has failed to pay to Administrative Agent; and
(vi)Β Β Β Β so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related LC Exposure of the Defaulting Lender will be 100% covered by the Loan Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with subparagraph (i) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
(d)Β Β Β Β In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Lender, then the obligations of the Banks with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bankβs Loan Commitment and, so long as no Event of Default exists, all cash collateral deposited or then held with respect to such Bankβs LC Exposure shall be returned to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, the foregoing will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bankβs having been a Defaulting Lender.
(e)Β Β Β Β At any time at which a Bank is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right, upon ten (10) Business Daysβ notice to the Administrative Agent either (x) to replace such Defaulting Lender utilizing the same methodology as set forth in Section 3.07, to the extent applicable, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Defaulting Lender, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Defaulting Lenderβs Loan Commitment shall be deemed to be cancelled.
(f)Β Β Β Β Nothing contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be
deemed to reduce the Loan Commitment of any Bank or in any way affect the rights of Borrower with respect to any Defaulting Lender or to release the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owed by the Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent. The status of any Bank as a Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to fund its Loan Commitment or otherwise perform its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.01Β Β Β Β Binding Effect of Request for Advance. By its acceptance of any
advance of proceeds of the Loans under this Agreement, each Borrower shall be bound in all respects by the request for advance submitted on its behalf in connection therewith with the same force and effect as if each Borrower had itself executed and submitted the request for advance and whether or not the request for advance is executed and/or submitted by an authorized person.
SECTION 12.02Β Β Β Β Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or material waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor consent to any material departure by any Borrower, TRG or any other obligor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Banks, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Banks do any of the following: (1) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due hereunder or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (2) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or waive any default in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount due to Administrative Agent or the Banks hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (3) change the definition of Required Banks or the definition of Super Majority Banks (or modify Section 12.06(a) so as to eliminate the requirement of approval by the Super Majority Banks); (4) amend this Section or any other provision requiring the consent or agreement of all the Banks; (5) waive any default under clause (c) or clause (d) of subparagraph (5) of Section 9.01; (6)Β release any Borrower from the Loan Documents, release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or release any material portion of the Collateral, other than, in any such case, in accordance with the provisions of Loan Documents; (7)Β subordinate the Banksβ Lien on any material portion of the Collateral to a Lien to secure any Debt other than the Loans; or (8) increase the Total Loan Commitment above $650,000,000. Any advance of proceeds of the Loans made prior to or without the fulfillment by Borrowers of all of the conditions precedent thereto, whether or not known to Administrative Agent and the Banks, shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement that all conditions, including the non-performed conditions, shall be required with respect to all future advances. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 12.03Β Β Β Β Usury. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of Law applicable to a Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Bank.
SECTION 12.04Β Β Β Β Expenses; Indemnification. Each Borrower and TRG agrees to, jointly and severally, reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for all reasonable costs, expenses, and charges including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and charges of engineers, appraisers and other consultants (provided such other consultants have been engaged with Borrowersβ consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood, however, that no Borrower shall have such right of consent during the existence of an Event of Default) and external legal counsel incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the making of the Loans and to reimburse the Administrative Agent for reasonable legal costs, expenses and charges incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Documents, any amendment or waiver of this Agreement, any increase in the Total Loan Commitment or any addition or release of a Property. Each Borrower and TRG agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify Administrative Agent and each Bank and their respective Affiliates, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an βIndemnified Partyβ) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, joint or several, incurred by any of them arising out of or by reason of (x) any claims by brokers due to acts or omissions by any Borrower or TRG or (y) any third-party claims relating to this Agreement, the Loans, the use of proceeds of the Loans, and the performance by Eurohypo (including as Administrative Agent) or any of its Affiliates of the services contemplated by this Agreement or the Supplemental Fee Letter, and each Borrower and TRG will, jointly and severally, reimburse any Indemnified Party for any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of or preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought to be by or on behalf of each Borrower, TRG or any of their respective Affiliates and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Supplemental Fee Letter are consummated or this Agreement or the Loan Commitments are terminated. No Borrower nor TRG will be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to an Indemnified Party to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Partyβs bad faith or gross negligence or breach of this Agreement.
In any such action or proceeding Borrowers or TRG, as the case may be, shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and select counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in no event will such counsel, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, be counsel to any Borrower, TRG or to any of their respective Affiliates.
Each Borrower and TRG also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability
(whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to any Borrower, TRG or its creditors related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Supplemental Fee Letter, the Loans, the use of proceeds of the Loans, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Supplemental Fee Letter or any related transaction or the performance by Eurohypo (including as Administrative Agent) or any of its Affiliates of the services contemplated by this Agreement or the Supplemental Fee Letter, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Partyβs bad faith or gross negligence or breach of this Agreement.
Each Borrower and TRG agrees that, without Administrative Agentβs prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Borrower nor TRG will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional written release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties, of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
No Indemnified Party shall, without the prior consent of the applicable Borrower or TRG, as the case may be (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) settle or compromise any action or claim for which indemnity has been or could be sought hereunder.
If (a) an Indemnified Party is requested to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of any Borrower, TRG or any of their respective Affiliates or (b) an Indemnified Party is required to appear as a witness in any action brought against any Borrower, TRG or any of their respective Affiliates, in either case, in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, each Borrower and TRG agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Partyβs appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, and to compensate such Indemnified Party in an amount to be reasonable and mutually agreed upon.
The obligations of each Borrower and TRG under this Section and under Article III shall survive the repayment of all amounts due under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents and the termination of the Loans.
SECTION 12.05Β Β Β Β Assignment; Participation. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, each Borrower, TRG, Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Borrower Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder. No Bank may assign or participate its Loan or its interest in this Agreement except as set forth in this Section 12.05.
Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each, a βParticipantβ) participating interests in its Loan (each, a βParticipationβ) subject, provided there exists no Event of Default, to Borrowersβ consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a Participation, whether or not Borrowers or Administrative Agent was given notice, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bankβs rights and obligations hereunder. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant a Participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver described in clauses (1) through (6) in the first paragraph of Section 12.02 without the consent of the Participant.
Any Bank may at any time assign to any bank or other institution (an βAssigneeβ) with the consent of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, of Borrowers, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Note(s), and such Assignee shall assume rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by such Assignee and the assigning Bank, provided that, in each case, after giving effect to such assignment, the Assigneeβs Loan Commitment, and, in the case of a partial assignment, the assigning Bankβs Loan Commitment, each will be equal to or greater than $10,000,000. No consent of Borrowers or Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment to a bank or other institution that is already a Bank. Additionally, no such consent(s) shall be required for the assignment by a Bank to one or more banks or other institutions which are Affiliates of such Bank, but in the event of any such assignment without such consent(s) the assigning Bank shall not be released of its obligations with respect to the assigned Loan Commitment. Upon (i) execution and delivery of such instrument, (ii) payment by such Assignee to the Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between the Bank and such Assignee and (iii) payment by such Assignee to Administrative Agent of a fee, for Administrative Agentβs own account, in the amount of $4,500 and payment of the reasonable legal fees necessary for the preparation and execution of a Note and other documents needed to effectuate such assignment, such Assignee shall be a Bank Party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the assigning Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent (except as otherwise set forth above), and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this paragraph, substitute Notes shall be issued to the assigning Bank (in the case of a partial assignment) and Assignee by the applicable Borrowers, in exchange for the return of the original Note(s). The obligations evidenced by such substitute Notes shall constitute βObligationsβ for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Mortgages. In connection with the applicable Borrowerβs execution of substitute Notes as aforesaid, such Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the substitute Notes and any related documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 10.13. No Bank may assign its rights
hereunder or any part thereof to any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower.
Any Bank may at any time freely assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.
Each Borrower recognizes that in connection with a Bankβs selling of Participations or making of assignments, any or all documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data, or copies thereof, relevant to any Borrower or the Loans may be exhibited to and retained by any such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee. In addition, such documentation etc. may be exhibited to and retained by Affiliates of a Bank. In connection with a Bankβs delivery of any financial statements and appraisals to any such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee, such Bank shall also deliver its standard confidentiality statement indicating that the same are delivered on a confidential basis. Each Borrower agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by a Bank to enable such Bank to sell Participations or make assignments of its Loan as permitted by this Section. Each Bank agrees to provide the applicable Borrowers with notice of all Participations sold by such Bank.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the pledge or assignment by a Bank (the βTransferring Bankβ) of all or any part of its interest in the Notes and this Agreement (the βTransferred Interestβ) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a trustee, administrator or receiver or their respective nominees, collateral agents or collateral trustees (a βSecurity Trusteeβ) of a mortgage pool securing covered mortgage bonds issued by an eligible German bank (Pfandbriefbanken) permitted to issue covered mortgage bonds (Hypothekenpfandbriefe) under German bond law (Pfandbriefgesetz 2005, as the same may be amended or modified and in effect from time to time, and/or any substitute or successor legislation thereto) (any such pledge or assignment, a βPfandbrief Transferβ) shall be permitted subject to the following conditions:
(a)Β Β Β Β Any further pledge or assignment by the Security Trustee of the Transferred Interest or any acquisition of the Transferred Interest by any Person other than the Security Trustee (each, an βAdditional Transferβ) shall require the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Borrowers to the extent provided by the terms of this Agreement.
(b)Β Β Β Β Neither the Pfandbrief Transfer, nor any foreclosure on the Transferred Interest, nor any Additional Transfer, shall result in the release of the Transferring Bank from any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and the Transferring Bank shall remain responsible for all of the obligations originally incurred by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Transferred Interest), except, in the case of any such Additional Transfer that complies with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents pursuant to which the Transferring Bank would be released from its obligations accruing from and after the Additional Transfer, for the obligations accruing from and after such Additional Transfer. Consequently, notwithstanding the Pfandbrief Transfer, nor any foreclosure on the Transferred Interest, nor any Additional Transfer, the Transferring Bank shall remain obligated to fund its share of all advances of the Loans, all expense reimbursements, all indemnification payments and all other amounts originally required to be funded by the Transferring Bank under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if no Pfandbrief Transfer, foreclosure on the Transferred Interest, or any
Additional Transfer had occurred (except if such Additional Transfer complies with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents pursuant to which the Transferring Bank would be released from its obligations accruing from and after the Additional Transfer, in which case the Transferring Bank shall be released from any such obligations accruing from and after such Additional Transfer in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents).
(c)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the Pfandbrief Transfer, or any foreclosure on the Transferred Interest, or any Additional Transfer, the Transferring Bank (and not the Security Trustee or any other transferee or assignee) shall have the exclusive right and power to exercise any and all approval, consent and voting rights under the Loan Documents that relate to the Transferred Interest, except that, in the case of an Additional Transfer that complies with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents pursuant to which the Transferring Bank would be released from its obligations accruing from and after the Additional Transfer, the transferee or assignee shall succeed to the rights and powers originally held by the Transferring Bank to exercise any and all approval, consent and voting rights under the Loan Documents with respect to the Transferred Interest.
(d)Β Β Β Β The interest acquired by the Security Trustee pursuant to the Pfandbrief Transfer or any foreclosure on the Transferred Interest, and the interest acquired by any other Person pursuant to any Additional Transfer, shall remain subject to all rights, defenses, offsets, claims and counterclaims which Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Borrower may have against the Transferring Bank, except, in the case of an Additional Transfer that complies with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents pursuant to which the Transferring Bank would be released from its obligations accruing from and after the Additional Transfer, for any rights, defenses, offsets, claims and counterclaims which Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Borrower may have against the Transferring Bank as a result of any acts or occurrences from and after the date of such Additional Transfer.
(e)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the Pfandbrief Transfer, or any foreclosure on the Transferred Interest, or any Additional Transfer, Administrative Agent, any Bank and any Borrower shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Transferring Bank as the βBankβ with respect to the Transferred Interest, except in the case of an Additional Transfer which complies with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents pursuant to which the Transferring Bank would be released from its obligations accruing from and after the Additional Transfer, in which case Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Borrower shall be entitled to deal with the transferee or assignee of the Transferred Interest.
(f)Β Β Β Β None of the Pfandbrief Transfer, nor any foreclosure on the Transferred Interest, nor any Additional Transfer shall affect or change in any way any of the rights or obligations with respect to the Transferred Interest. Without limiting the foregoing, any rights or claims of the pledgee or transferee of the Transferred Interest against Administrative Agent shall be subject to the same limitations and exculpations as are set forth with respect to the rights and claims of a βBankβ against Administrative Agent contained herein, and shall not in any event be greater than the rights or claims that could have been asserted by the Transferring Bank in accordance with the Loan Documents with respect to the Transferred Interest had such Pfandbrief Transfer, foreclosure on the Transferred Interest or Additional Transfer not occurred.
(g)Β Β Β Β The pledgee or transferee of any interest pursuant to the Pfandbrief Transfer, any foreclosure on the Transferred Interest or any Additional Transfer shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as if it were a βBankβ hereunder.
(h)Β Β Β Β The Transferring Bank shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent and/or Borrowers for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and/or any Borrower in connection with Administrative Agentβs consideration of the request for the consent set forth herein and in connection with the negotiation and documentation of the same, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses.
SECTION 12.06Β Β Β Β Addition and Release of Properties.
(a)Β Β Β Β Subject to the conditions set forth below in subparagraph (b) of this Section, Borrowers shall have the right, solely in connection with the replacement of a Property released hereunder, to cause one or more shopping center properties approved by the Super Majority Banks, in their sole and absolute discretion, wholly-owned by a Person (a βNew Borrowerβ) in which TRG owns, directly or indirectly, a 100% beneficial and controlling interest to be encumbered by a Mortgage and thereby become a Property. Additionally, subject to the conditions set forth below in subparagraph (c) of this Section, a Borrower shall have the right to obtain the release of a Property (other than Dolphin) from the Mortgage encumbering such Property. Each such addition or release of a Property shall effect an immediate change in the computations of compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 8.01 (based on the financial results of the most recently ended calendar quarter for which financial results are required hereunder to have been reported by TRG and Borrowers, as adjusted, if applicable, by all acquisitions or Dispositions of assets subsequent to the end of such quarter as required by this Agreement and taking into account the effects of the addition or release of the Property).
(b)Β Β Β Β Borrowers shall make any request that a property be added as a Property by giving notice to Administrative Agent, which notice shall identify the property or properties that Borrowers propose to add as a Property and the Sublimit to be established for such New Borrower, which must comply with the requirements for Sublimits set forth in Section 2.01(f). New Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent such documents and information with respect to such proposed Property and such New Borrower as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Administrative Agent may decide in its reasonable discretion which of the documents described below in this Section 12.06(b) shall be delivered for review by the Banks at such time and which documents may be delivered after approval by the Super Majority Banks of such property as a Property and such New Borrower as a Borrower hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice, documents and information from Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies thereof to each Bank and shall request that each Bank notify Administrative Agent as to whether or not it agrees to accept such property as a Property and such New Borrower as a Borrower (the βProperty Approval Requestβ). Each Bank shall have a period of fifteen (15) Banking Days from its receipt of the Property Approval Request to notify Administrative Agent whether or not such Bank agrees to accept the proposed property as a Property and such New Borrower as a Borrower. Any Bank that fails to respond to the Property Approval Request within such fifteen (15) Business Day Period will be deemed to have agreed to accept the proposed property as a Property and such New Borrower as a Borrower.
Following approval of the proposed property as a Property and such New Borrower as a Borrower, such property shall be added as a Property upon Borrowerβs satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i)Β Β Β Β There shall exist no Event of Default;
(ii)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent shall have received (w)Β Notes executed by the New Borrower to each Bank in the amount of such Bankβs Loan Commitment allocable to such New Borrower; (x)Β a mortgage/deed of trust of the Property to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, duly executed by the owner thereof and recorded in the appropriate land records, together with executed financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code of all jurisdictions necessary or, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, desirable to perfect the lien on the personal property created by said mortgage/deed of trust, (y)Β an indemnity agreement regarding Hazardous Materials, duly executed by TRG, the applicable New Borrower and (z) a guaranty of payment from the New Borrower of all of the Obligations, each such document to duly executed by said New Borrower and each such note, mortgage/deed of trust, indemnity and guaranty to be substantially in the form of the Notes, Mortgages, Indemnities and Guaranty with respect to the Properties initially given to evidence or secure the Loans but with such changes as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or advantageous under local law or in connection with the particular Property. Additionally, the Guarantors shall have duly executed and delivered to Administrative Agent a confirmation that the Guaranty shall apply with equal force and effect to the Notes and other obligations of the New Borrower.
(iii)Β Β Β Β Each of the Property-related and Borrower-related representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Property and the owner thereof;
(iv)Β Β Β Β The proposed Property shall not be suffering any material casualty and no eminent domain proceedings material to the proposed Property shall have been commenced (or threatened) with respect to all or any part thereof;

SECTION 12.08Β Β Β Β Notices, Etc. Except as expressly provided otherwise, all notices, demands, consents, approvals and statements required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when presented personally, three (3) days after mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or one (1) day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service providing evidence of the date of delivery, addressed to a party at its address on the signature page hereof, as to Banks other than Administrative Agent on their respective Administrative Information Forms or in the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address of which a party shall have notified the party giving such notice in writing in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

In addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, bankersβ lien or counterclaim a Bank may otherwise have, each Bank shall be entitled, but only with the prior consent of the Required Banks, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of any Borrower at any of such Bankβs offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any amount payable by such Borrower to such Bank under this Agreement or such Bankβs Notes, or any other Loan Document which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify such Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof; provided that such Bankβs failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. Unless the Loans have matured or have been accelerated, no Bank shall effectuate a setoff except upon not less than five (5) Banking Daysβ prior written notice to the affected Borrower. Payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.
SECTION 12.10Β Β Β Β Gross-Up for Taxes. All payments made by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income taxes and franchise or other taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on a Bank as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Bankβs having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or its Note). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (βNon-Excluded Taxesβ) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to such Bank hereunder or under its Note, the amounts so payable to such Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Bank (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable with respect to its Loan at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and its Note; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to such Bank if such Bank is not organized under the Laws of the United States or a state thereof and such Bank fails to comply with the requirements of Section 10.13. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, each Borrower shall, jointly and severally, indemnify such Bank for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Bank as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Provided there exists no Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall release the lien of the Mortgage encumbering Twelve Oaks from portions of the unimproved parcel described as ParcelΒ D (the βLake Parcelβ) in ScheduleΒ A to such Mortgage, such parcel being the only portion of the Twelve Oaks premises located outside of the shopping centerβs βring roadβ (each such portion, a βRelease Parcelβ) in connection with TOLLCβs simultaneous conveyance thereof; provided, however, that no portion of the lake located on the Lake Parcel shall be released. All such releases shall be subject, in each case, to Administrative Agentβs receipt of (A) evidence that the balance of the Twelve Oaks premises constitutes one or more separate tax and zoning lots and an endorsement to the title insurance policy for said Mortgage insuring that the lien thereof will not be impaired by virtue of the release of the Release Parcel, (B) a current survey of the Twelve Oaks premises, specifically delineating (by metes and bounds) the Release Parcel, certified to Administrative Agent and the Title Insurer, (C) evidence that the Release Parcel is not necessary for the operation, maintenance (including, but not limited to, drainage from and water supply to the Twelve Oaks premises) of and access to the Twelve Oaks Premises, (D) such other documents, opinions and assurances as Administrative Agent may reasonably request (all of the foregoing items (A) through (D) to be received by Administrative Agent at least seven (7) business days prior to the proposed release and be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) and (E) payment of Administrative Agentβs out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and expenses of counsel, in connection with the foregoing transactions.

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT dated as of __________, 200__, between [insert name of assigning Bank] (βAssignorβ) and [insert name of Assignee] (βAssigneeβ).
Preliminary Statement
1.Β Β Β Β This Assignment and Assumption Agreement (this βAgreementβ) relates to the Third Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time, the βLoan Agreementβ) dated as of ________ __, 2011 among Borrowers, the Banks party thereto and Administrative Agent. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
2.Β Β Β Β Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, Assignor has made a Loan Commitment to Borrowers in the current principal amount of $____________ (βAssignorβs Loan Commitmentβ).
3.Β Β Β Β Assignor desires to assign to Assignee all of the rights of Assignor under the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents in respect of a portion of its Loan and Loan Commitment in an amount equal to $__________ (βAssigned Loan Commitmentβ) and a portion of the outstanding principal balance of Assignorβs Loan in the same proportion as the Assigned Loan Commitment bears to Assignorβs Loan Commitment (the βAssigned Loanβ; the Assigned Loan Commitment and Assigned Loan referred to collectively as the βAssigned Loan and Commitmentβ); and Assignee desires to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from Assignor on such terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1.Β Β Β Β Assignment. Assignor hereby assigns and sells to Assignee all of the rights of Assignor under the Loan Agreement in and to the Assigned Loan and Commitment, and Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of Assignor under the Loan Agreement with respect to the Assigned Loan and Commitment. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by Assignor, Assignee, Borrowers (if applicable) and Administrative Agent and the payment of the amount specified in Section 2 hereof required to be paid on the date hereof, (1) Assignee shall, as of the commencement of business on the date hereof, succeed to the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents with a Loan and a Loan Commitment in amounts equal to the Assigned Loan and Commitment and (2) the Loan and Loan Commitment of Assignor shall, as of the commencement of business on the date hereof, be reduced correspondingly and Assignor released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by Assignee. Assignor represents and warrants that it (x) owns the Assigned Loan and Commitment free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances and (y) is legally authorized to enter into and perform this Agreement. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the assignment provided for herein shall be without representation
or warranty by, or recourse to, Assignor.
SECTION 2.Β Β Β Β Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 1 hereof, Assignee shall pay to Assignor on the date hereof in immediately available funds an amount equal to the amount of the Assigned Loan. It is understood that any fees paid to Assignor under the Loan Agreement are for the account of Assignor, except as Assignor and Assignee shall have otherwise agreed. Assignor and Assignee shall prorate interest when and as received from Borrowers. Each of Assignor and Assignee hereby agrees that if it receives any amount under the Loan Agreement which is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such other partyβs interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.
SECTION 3.Β Β Β Β Consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent; Execution and Delivery of Notes. This Agreement is conditioned upon the consent of Borrowers and of Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.05 of the Loan Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such section. The execution of this Agreement by Borrowers and Administrative Agent is evidence of this consent.

(i)Β Β Β Β comprehensive - βAll Riskβ insurance, on the Improvements and the personal property owned by Borrower at the Mortgaged Property (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the βFull Replacement Cost,β which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and such personal property at the Mortgaged Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of β Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000) for all such insurance coverage; and (D) containing an βOrdinance or Law Coverageβ or βEnforcementβ endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Mortgaged Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. In addition, Borrower shall also insure costs of demolition and increased cost of construction (which insurance may have a sublimit of $5,000,000). The insurance policy shall be endorsed to also provide guaranteed building replacement cost to the building in an amount to be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the βRequired Terrorism Deductibleβ) or such higher deductible if Borrower provides Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between the actual deductible and the Required Terrorism Deductible, which Letter of Credit may be drawn upon by Administrative Agent upon the occurrence of a Casualty to pay such amount that would have been paid by the issuer of the Policies if the Required Terrorism Deductible had been maintained or (B) Borrower may maintain such coverage through a separate policy in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Full Replacement Cost and (2) the Agreed Minimum Replacement Value; provided, however that Borrower shall not be required to spend more than an amount equal to the Terrorism Cap.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower may use such business interruption proceeds for operating expenses and interest on the Loan;

No filing or other action is or will be necessary to perfect such first priority security interest of Administrative Agent in the Equity Interests that are represented by a certificate, except for delivery to Administrative Agent of the certificates evidencing the Equity Interests endorsed or accompanied by appropriate powers duly endorsed in blank. The first priority security interest of Administrative Agent in any of the Pledged Collateral that is not represented by a certificate, if any, shall be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or statements as hereinafter provided.
3.Β Β Β Β Distributions. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to receive Distributions in respect of the Pledged Collateral. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Issuer, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, to distribute, transfer, pay and deliver directly to or at the direction of Administrative Agent, and not to Borrower, in accordance with that certain Consent of Issuer attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof (the βConsentβ), any and all Distributions at such time and in such manner as such Distributions would otherwise be distributed, transferred, paid and delivered to Borrower, for application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Borrower authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to apply any Distributions received by Administrative Agent in the manner described in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
4.Β Β Β Β Voting Rights.
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrower hereby collaterally assigns the Voting Rights to Administrative Agent, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)Β Β Β Β Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may exercise the Voting Rights, provided that Borrower shall not exercise the Voting Rights in a manner which would
be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of Borrower to exercise the Voting Rights shall cease and Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise, in person or by its nominees or proxies, all Voting Rights assigned to it hereunder and Administrative Agent shall exercise such Voting Rights in such manner as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall deem to be in Administrative Agentβs best interests (subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall effect the directions of Administrative Agent in connection with any such exercise in accordance with this Agreement.
(c)Β Β Β Β In connection with Administrative Agentβs exercise of the Voting Rights, Borrower shall cause Issuer to rely on a notice from Administrative Agent stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, in which event no further direction from Borrower shall be required to effect the assignment of Voting Rights hereunder from Borrower to Administrative Agent, and Issuer shall immediately permit Administrative Agent to exercise all of the Voting Rights in respect of the business and affairs of Issuer. If the applicable Event of Default is no longer continuing or has been waived by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall again automatically have all of the rights to exercise the Voting Rights and Administrative Agent shall so notify Issuer.
(d)Β Β Β Β Borrower acknowledges that, except for this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it has not entered into, and it is not bound by the terms of, any agreement or understanding, whether oral or written, with respect to the purchase, sale, transfer or voting of any Voting Rights.
5.Β Β Β Β Termination of Agreement. Immediately upon payment in full of all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and termination of all of the Lenderβs Commitments, this Agreement shall immediately cease, terminate and be of no further force or effect. Thereafter, at Borrowerβs sole cost and expense, Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to Borrower, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, such of the Pledged Collateral (including any certificate or certificates evidencing the Equity Interests, if any, along with the partnership, membership or stock powers, as applicable, endorsed in blank, if any) as then may be held or controlled by Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such termination, including, without limitation, UCC termination statements. Any Pledged Collateral released from the Lien of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance therewith pursuant to this Section 5 shall, effective upon such release, no longer be deemed βPledged Collateralβ for any purpose under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent agrees, at the request and sole cost and expense of Borrower, to notify Issuer and any other third party reasonably requested by Borrower of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower shall arrange for repayment of the Obligations in their entirety by a third party, at Borrowerβs request and at its sole cost and expense, Administrative Agent shall promptly assign the Note, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (to the extent requested by Borrower) to such third party, without recourse, representation or warranty.
6.Β Β Β Β Liability. The trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents of Administrative Agent and Lender shall have no personal liability under this Agreement and any obligation of Administrative Agent and/or Lender under this Agreement to Borrower or Issuer shall be satisfied solely from the assets of Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable.
7.Β Β Β Β Rights of Lender.
(a)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Obligations or any collateral security or guarantee therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing nor be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Any part or all of the Pledged Collateral held by Administrative Agent may, without notice, but only during an Event of Default, be transferred into the name of Administrative Agent or its nominee and Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter without notice, exercise all Voting Rights and other rights in respect of the Pledged Collateral, including the exercise of any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options in respect of the Pledged Collateral, as if it were the absolute owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by Administrative Agent or its nominee; provided, however, that Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have no duty to exercise any of the foregoing actions, or any liability for failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(b)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the consequence of any Voting Rights cast or given by Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement, except for any such liability resulting solely from Administrative Agentβs gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c)Β Β Β Β Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, and except to the extent caused by Administrative Agentβs gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, Administrative Agent shall have no liability to Borrower with respect to the receipt and application by Administrative Agent of Distributions, the holding by Administrative Agent of any Pledged Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or Administrative Agentβs taking, or failure to take, any action (including the obtaining of insurance) with respect to any Pledged Collateral.
(d)Β Β Β Β Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent in its absolute discretion, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 hereof, (i) to file any and all financing and continuation statements in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions that Administrative Agent deems appropriate (including, without limitation, all initial financing statements and continuation statements), naming Borrower as debtor, with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral (including such as may be necessary to renew, extend and continue the perfection of the Security Interest of Administrative Agent) without consent of or authentication by Borrower and consents to a photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement being sufficient as a financing statement; and (ii) to file UCC financing statements indicating that the collateral covered by such financing statements is βall assets in which Borrower now or hereafter has rights.β
8.Β Β Β Β Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice
of any kind (except as specified below or required by law) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices is hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law), may, without obligation to resort to other security, and in addition to and not in limitation of any and all other remedies reserved to Administrative Agent or Lender hereunder or at law or in equity, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, brokerβs board or at Administrative Agentβs offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best with respect to its own interests, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right to Administrative Agent upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against the Pledged Collateral of Borrower as it shall determine in its sole discretion. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Collateral may have been given. Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case the sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold shall be retained by Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives all rights of marshaling the Pledged Collateral and any other security at any time held by Administrative Agent or Lender and any right of valuation or appraisal. Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any and all of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Administrative Agent or Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorneyβs fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part, of the Obligations together with interest thereon at the Default Rate under the Loan Agreement, and only after so applying such net proceeds and after the payment by Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, the UCC and any version of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, need Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent need not give more than 10 Business Days notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time and place if any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place and that such notice is commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to Borrower if it has, after default, signed a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. Administrative Agentβs rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, at law or in equity, with any and all of Administrative Agentβs and/or Lenderβs other rights in connection with the Loan, and Administrative Agent may exercise any of such rights or remedies
in any order. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and any other instrument securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, as if such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein, and any rights and remedies of a secured party under any version of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction in which such rights or remedies are sought to be enforced.
9.Β Β Β Β Right to Become Member, Shareholder or Partner.
(a)Β Β Β Β In addition to the remedies set forth in Section 8 hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, by delivering written notice to Issuer and Borrower, after having acquired the right, title and interest of Borrowerβs Equity Interests, succeed, or designate one or more nominees(s) to succeed, to all right, title and interest of Borrower (including, without limitation, the right, if any, to vote on or take any action with respect to Issuer) as a member, shareholder or partner of Issuer, as applicable, relating to the Equity Interests acquired. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Issuer on receipt of any such notice (i) to deem and treat Administrative Agent or its nominee in all respects as a member, shareholder or partner, as applicable (and not merely an assignee of a member, shareholder or partner, as applicable), of Issuer entitled to exercise all the rights, powers and privileges (including the right to vote on or take any action with respect to any and all membership, shareholder or partnership matters, as applicable, pursuant to the Formation Agreement) to receive all Distributions, to be credited with the capital account and to have all other rights, powers and privileges appertaining to such membership, shareholder or partnership interests, as applicable, to which Borrower would have been entitled had Borrowerβs membership, shareholder or partnership interests, as applicable, not been transferred to Administrative Agent or such nominee, (ii) to execute amendments to the Formation Agreement admitting Administrative Agent or such nominee as a member, shareholder or partner, as applicable, in place of Borrower and (iii) to issue the membership, shareholder or partnership certificate(s), as applicable, in the name of Administrative Agent or its nominee, with respect to each of the Equity Interests represented by a certificate or certificates.
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon acquisition of any portion of the Pledged Collateral by Administrative Agent or any other Person through foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, Borrower shall not be required to make additional contributions or other payments to Issuer.
10.Β Β Β Β Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Borrower. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent with respect to itself and the Pledged Collateral that:
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrower has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the Formation Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)Β Β Β Β This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, and is enforceable as to Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject, however, to bankruptcy, insolvency and other rights of creditors generally and to general principles of equity.
(c)Β Β Β Β The execution, delivery, observance and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any violation of the Formation Agreement or, to Borrowerβs knowledge and on the date hereof, any constitutional provision, law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to it, or any judgment, decree or order applicable to it, and will not conflict with, or cause a breach of, or default under, any such term or, except for the liens created or contemplated hereby, result in the creation of any mortgage lien, pledge, charge or encumbrance upon any of its properties or assets pursuant to any such term.
(d)Β Β Β Β As of the date hereof, it is not necessary for Borrower to obtain or make any (i) governmental consent, approval or authorization, registration or filing from or with any governmental authorities or (ii) consent, approval, waiver or notification of partners, creditors, lessors or other nongovernmental persons, in each case, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions herein presently contemplated which has not been filed or obtained.
(e)Β Β Β Β Borrower is as of the date hereof (i) the sole economic, managing and voting member of Issuer, (ii) the owner of 100% of the membership interests in Issuer and (iii) the sole owner of all direct beneficial interests in the Pledged Collateral. Borrower owns the Pledged Collateral, and the Pledged Collateral is and shall remain, free and clear of any lien, mortgage, encumbrance, charge, pledge, security interest, or claim of any kind (including, without limitation, any unconditional sale or other title retention agreement) other than as created by this Agreement or as permitted by the Loan Agreement.
(f)Β Β Β Β The Equity Interests are, and Borrower covenants and agrees that it will ensure at all times that such Equity Interests remain, βsecuritiesβ within the meaning of the UCC and, in particular, with respect to the Equity Interests that are represented by a certificate or certificates, are βcertificated securitiesβ within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(4) of the UCC, and Borrower has taken all steps necessary to afford Administrative Agent βcontrolβ of such Equity Interests within the meaning of the UCC.
(g)Β Β Β Β Borrower covenants and agrees to defend, at its sole cost and expense, Administrative Agentβs right, title and Security Interest in and to the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof, created pursuant hereto, against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(h)Β Β Β Β The Equity Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.
(i)Β Β Β Β The Equity Interests constitute 100% of the interests in capital, profits, distribution, management and voting rights in Issuer.
(j)Β Β Β Β Upon Administrative Agent obtaining and maintaining possession of the certificates identified on Schedule 1 and the filing of a UCC financing statement adequately describing the Pledged Collateral in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, all steps necessary to create and perfect the security interest created by this Agreement as a valid and continuing first priority lien on, and first priority perfected (subject to possession of the certificates and filing of the financing statements referenced above) security interest in, the Pledged Collateral, in favor of
Administrative Agent, prior to all other liens, security interests and other claims of any sort whatsoever, have been taken. Borrower has not granted a security interest in the Pledged Collateral to any other party, and the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement in the Pledged Collateral constitutes a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral, enforceable as such against all creditors of, and purchasers from, Borrower.
(k)Β Β Β Β Borrower has not changed its name, or used, adopted or discontinued the use of any trade name, fictitious name or other trade name or trade style unless permitted to do so under the terms of the Loan Agreement.
(l)Β Β Β Β Borrower will not change its name in any manner which could make any financing or continuation statement filed hereunder seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the UCC (or any other then-applicable provision of the UCC) unless Borrower shall have given Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Daysβ prior notice thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is impossible to take such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to amend such financing statement or continuation statement so that it is not seriously misleading.
(m)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall perform all of its obligations under the Formation Agreement and shall not amend the Formation Agreement in contravention of the Loan Agreement or in any manner that would reduce or impede Administrative Agentβs rights or remedies hereunder.
11.Β Β Β Β Certain Covenants.
(a)Β Β Β Β No Disposition. Borrower agrees that, except to the extent permitted under the Loan Agreement, it will not directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer, exchange, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Collateral, nor will it create, incur or permit to exist any security interest with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or any proceeds thereof, except for the Security Interest provided for by this Agreement.
(b)Β Β Β Β Delivery of Certificates and Instruments. Any and all certificates or instruments at any time representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral shall be immediately delivered to and held by or on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant hereto, and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to transfer to or to register in the name of Administrative Agent or its nominee any Pledged Collateral. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
(c)Β Β Β Β Other Units. Borrower has not permitted and shall not permit the issuance of any units of membership interest, stock or partnership interest, as applicable, or other securities in Issuer in addition to or in substitution for the Equity Interests.
12.Β Β Β Β Other Partners, Shareholders and/or Members Shall Join. Every member,
shareholder or partner, as applicable, hereinafter admitted to Issuer as a successor or additional member, shareholder or partner (to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents) shall at Administrative Agentβs request and as a condition thereto, join in this Agreement and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof, pursuant to a written joinder and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and execute and deliver appropriate forms of assignment and other appropriate instruments indicating the Security Interest of Administrative Agent in the memberβs Pledged Collateral. The failure of any new member, shareholder or partner, as applicable, to execute and deliver the same prior to or contemporaneously with its admission as a member, shareholder or partner in Issuer, if such failure shall continue for 10 days after such request by Administrative Agent, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and under the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.
13.Β Β Β Β Foreclosure Sales of Securities.
(a)Β Β Β Β No Obligation to Register. In exercising its remedies hereunder, Administrative Agent may be unable to sell Equity Interests publicly without registering them under the Securities Laws, which would likely be an expensive and time-consuming undertaking and, in fact, one which might be impossible to accomplish even if Administrative Agent were willing to invest the necessary time and money. Even though Administrative Agent may be able to register Equity Interests under the Securities Laws, it may nonetheless regard such registration as too expensive or too time-consuming (such determination to be made in Administrative Agentβs sole discretion). If Administrative Agent sells Equity Interests without registration, Administrative Agent may be required to sell them only in private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers who fulfill certain suitability standards and who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Equity Interests for their own account for investment and not with a view to distributing or reselling them. Borrower acknowledges that such a private sale may result in less favorable prices and other terms than a public sale. Borrower agrees that a private sale, even under these restrictive conditions, will not be considered commercially unreasonable solely by virtue of the fact that Administrative Agent has not registered or sought to register the Equity Interests under the Securities Laws, even if Borrower or Issuer agrees to pay all costs of the registration process.
(b)Β Β Β Β Right of Administrative Agent or Lender to Purchase at No-Action Public Sale. Borrower is aware that Section 9-610 of the UCC states that Administrative Agent or Lender is able to purchase the Equity Interests only if they are sold at a public sale. Borrower is also aware that SEC staff personnel have, over a period of years, issued various No-Action Letters that describe procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Part 6 of Article 9 of the DCC, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Borrower is also aware that Administrative Agent or Lender may wish to purchase the Equity Interests that are sold at a foreclosure sale, and Borrower believes that such purchases would be appropriate in circumstances in which the Equity Interests are sold in conformity with the principles set forth in the No-Action Letters. Borrower specifically agrees that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No-Action Letters (i) shall be considered to be a βpublicβ sale for purposes of Section 9-610 of the DCC; (ii) will not be considered commercially unreasonable solely by virtue of the fact that Administrative Agent has not registered or sought to register the Equity Interests under the Securities Laws, even if Borrower
agrees or Issuer agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (iii) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Lender or Administrative Agent purchases Equity Interests at such a sale.
(c)Β Β Β Β Intentionally Omitted.
(d)Β Β Β Β General Standards Applicable to Foreclosure Sales. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent shall have no general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Equity Interests sold by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement (including sales made to Administrative Agent or Lender). Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Borrower specifically agrees that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with this Section 13 will be considered commercially reasonable.
(e)Β Β Β Β Further Assurances. Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things (except that Borrower shall not be obligated to register any Equity Interests under the Securities Laws) as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of Equity Interests valid and binding and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at Borrowerβs expense.
(f)Β Β Β Β Equitable Remedy. Borrower agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 13 shall cause irreparable injury to Administrative Agent and Lender, and that Administrative Agent will have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach. As a consequence, Borrower agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 13 shall be specifically enforceable against Borrower.
14.Β Β Β Β Reimbursement of Administrative Agent and Lender.
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent, Lender and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the βIndemnified Partiesβ) for, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, actual third party costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneysβ fees and legal expenses whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties, in any way relating to or arising out of the making, holding or enforcement of this Agreement by Administrative Agent to the extent resulting, directly or indirectly, from any claim made (whether or not in connection with any legal action, suit, or proceeding) by or on behalf of any Person other than Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of, and undertakings and indemnification set forth in, this Section 14 shall survive the satisfaction and payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Any amounts which may become payable by Borrower pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall be added to Borrowerβs obligations hereunder and to the Obligations.
(b)Β Β Β Β Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent and Lender promptly upon receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent or Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses payable to third parties incurred by Administrative Agent or Lender in connection with (A) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower or this Agreement (except to the extent resulting from Administrative Agentβs or Lenderβs gross negligence or willful misconduct), and (B) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement.
(c)Β Β Β Β In no event shall Administrative Agent or Lender be liable to Borrower for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for moneys actually received by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and any state of facts determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be caused by Administrative Agentβs or Lenderβs gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
15.Β Β Β Β No Waiver of Rights by Administrative Agent or Lender. Nothing herein shall be deemed (a) to be a waiver of any right which Administrative Agent or Lender may have under the Bankruptcy Code or the bankruptcy laws of any state to file a claim for the then outstanding amount of the Loan or to require that all of the Pledged Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations; (b) to impair the validity of the Loan, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other document or instrument delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Lender in connection therewith; or (c) to impair the right of agent to commence an action to foreclose any lien or security interest in connection with the exercise of its remedies hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Administrative Agent or Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness of the Loan and other amounts due under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note, or the other Loan Documents or to require that all of the Pledged Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations.
16.Β Β Β Β Irrevocable Proxy. Solely with respect to Article 8 Matters, Borrower hereby irrevocably grants and appoints Administrative Agent, from the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, as Borrowerβs true and lawful proxy, for and in Borrowerβs name, place and stead to vote the Equity Interests, whether directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, now owned or hereafter acquired, with respect to such Article 8 Matters. The proxy granted and appointed in this Section 16 shall include the right to sign Borrowerβs name (as a member, shareholder or partner of Issuer, as applicable) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to an Article 8 Matter and the Equity Interests that applicable law may permit or require, to cause the Equity Interest to be voted in accordance with the preceding sentence. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that there are no other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to an Article 8 Matter and the Equity Interests that Borrower may have granted or appointed. Borrower will not give a subsequent proxy or power of attorney or enter into any other voting agreement with respect to the Equity Interests with respect to any Article 8 Matter and any attempt to do so with respect to an Article 8 Matter shall be void and of no effect. The proxies and powers granted by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of the Borrowerβs obligations.
17.Β Β Β Β Miscellaneous.
(a)Β Β Β Β Successors. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party, provided that Borrower may not assign its obligations hereunder except as may be provided in, and in accordance with, the Loan Agreement. All covenants and promises and agreements in this Agreement contained, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lender and their respective successors and assigns.
(b)Β Β Β Β Governing Law.

(i)Β Β Β Β No less frequently than once per calendar quarter, Pledgor shall distribute all Subsidiary Profits to Borrower for application in accordance with requirements, if any, of the Loan Documents; and
(ii)Β Β Β Β Pledgor shall comply with any instruction received by it from Administrative Agent in writing with respect to the Collateral that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Borrower or any other Person.
(b)Β Β Β Β Negative Pledge. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Pledgor shall not, directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, or (ii) create, incur, authorize or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, except for (i) the Lien created by this Agreement and (ii) as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Loan Agreement. Pledgor shall defend the right, title and interest of Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(c)Β Β Β Β Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly and duly give, execute, deliver file and/or record such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining, creating, perfecting, validating or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, filing UCC financing or continuation statements, provided that the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be increased thereby. Pledgor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file any such financing statement or continuation statement without the signature of Pledgor to the extent permitted by law, if Pledgor fails to do so
within five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agentβs written request therefor. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall be promptly delivered to Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)Β Β Β Β Changes in Location, Name, etc. Pledgor will not, unless (i) expressly permitted to do so under the terms of the Loan Agreement and strictly in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) all action necessary or advisable, in Administrative Agentβs reasonable opinion, to protect and perfect the Liens and security interests intended to be created hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall have been taken, (a) change the location of its principal offices, or the place where the books and records relating to the Collateral are kept, from that specified in Section 4(b), or (b) change its name or type of organization, or (c) reorganize or reincorporate under the laws of another jurisdiction.

Pledgor shall have the right to contest such taxes to the same extent as Borrower, as provided in the Loan Documents.
6.Β Β Β Β Rights and Remedies of Administrative Agent.
(a)Β Β Β Β If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or otherwise required hereby), (i) to foreclose, collect, receive, appropriate and/or realize upon the Collateral and make application thereof to the Guaranteed Obligations, in such order as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents and (ii) to exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Administrative Agent was the sole and absolute owner thereof (and Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right).
(b)Β Β Β Β The rights of Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Administrative Agent or Lender of any right or remedy against Pledgor or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any other security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall they be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof.
(c)Β Β Β Β Upon satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and payment of all amounts owed on the Note and in respect of the Loan (exclusive of any indemnification or other obligations which are expressly stated in any of the Loan Documents to survive repayment of the Loan and satisfaction of the Note), the Collateral shall be released, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
(d)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of any of its rights hereunder, and neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors or employees shall be responsible to Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)Β Β Β Β If Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein within any applicable grace period with respect thereto provided for herein or in the Loan Agreement, and Administrative Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest at the Default Rate if such expenses are not paid within ten (10) Business Days after written demand, shall be payable by Pledgor to Administrative Agent and shall constitute obligations secured hereby.
(f)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise its rights under this Section 6 to foreclose, collect, receive, appropriate and/or realize upon the Collateral only upon the expiration of a period of ten (10) days commencing on the date on which notice of such intention to exercise any of such rights shall have been given by Administrative Agent to Pledgor in accordance with Section 11(c).
(g)Β Β Β Β The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, privileges and remedies available to Administrative Agent and/or Lender at law or in equity.
(h)Β Β Β Β Upon Administrative Agentβs foreclosure of Borrowerβs Mortgage, Administrative Agent shall have the right on three (3) days written notice to terminate any lease between Borrower and Pledgor, if any, and Pledgor hereby acknowledges that any such lease, if any, is and shall be subordinate to the Lien of the Administrative Agent under the Borrowerβs Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
7.Β Β Β Β Financing Statements; Other Documents. On the date hereof, Pledgor authorizes Administrative Agent to file such UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the Collateral as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including UCC-1 financing statements indicating that the collateral covered by such financing statements is βall assets in which Pledgor now or hereafter has rights.β Pledgor agrees to deliver any other document or instrument which Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to the Collateral for
the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.
8.Β Β Β Β Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent is hereby appointed, the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest (but shall be effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default of which Pledgor has received written notice), for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which are reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof if Pledgor fails to do so within ten (10) Business Days of Administrative Agentβs written request therefor.
9.Β Β Β Β Recourse. Pledgorβs liability hereunder shall be fully recourse to the Pledgor and shall not be limited to the value of the Collateral. Recourse hereunder is otherwise limited by Section 11.02 of the Loan Agreement, which is incorporated herein by express reference.
10.Β Β Β Β Indemnity. Pledgor agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from Pledgorβs breach of this Agreement, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from Administrative Agentβs or Lenderβs gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(e)Β Β Β Β Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
(f)Β Β Β Β Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
(g)Β Β Β Β Preferences. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Pledgor to any portion of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and under the Loan Documents. To the extent Pledgor makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent, which payment or proceeds or any portion thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or portion thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent.
(h)Β Β Β Β Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. All payments made by Pledgor hereunder shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoffs or counterclaims. Pledgor hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Administrative Agent or Lender arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement. Any assignee of Administrative Agentβs or Lenderβs rights hereunder or of any of Lenderβs interest in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to this Agreement or the Loan.
(i)Β Β Β Β Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
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. Any counterpart delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.
(j)Β Β Β Β No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Administrative Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to this Section 11(j)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent or Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Administrative Agent or Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Administrative Agent or Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided by law.
(k)Β Β Β Β TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF AGENT, LENDER AND PLEDGOR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY AGENT, LENDER AND PLEDGOR AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF AGENT, LENDER AND PLEDGOR IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.
