-4-
more, the then-current "As-Is" appraised value of the Project, based on the most recent Appraisal for such Project, provided, however, if the One West Premises is re-tenanted to at least 85% occupancy at rents equal to at least $30 per rentable square foot on or before September 1, 2020, the value of the Domain Gateway Project shall be based on the as-stabilized appraised value per the CBRE Appraisal report dated September 12, 2018, with File Number 18-361HO-4768-1, provided if a new Appraisal is obtained after re-tenanting of the One West Premises, the Borrowing Base Value for the Domain Gateway Project will thereafter be the then-current "As-Is" appraised value of the Project and (b)Β as to the Projects owned less than 12Β months, the lesser of (i)Β the undepreciated cost basis (which shall include any applicable closing costs and capital expenses, tenant improvements and leasing commissions paid), and (ii)Β the then current "as-is" appraised value of the Projects based on the most recent appraisals for such Projects. Borrower may request (in its sole discretion) that Administrative Agent reappraise any Project and in connection therewith order new Appraisals from time to time (but in no event more than once in any six-month period). Borrower shall pay the costs of any and all such Appraisals within ten days of written demand by Administrative Agent. In addition to any of the rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder to order Appraisals, Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time order new Appraisals of the Projects during the existence of an Event of Default, and Borrower shall pay the costs of any and all such Appraisals within ten days of written demand by Administrative Agent. In addition, (unless otherwise approved by Administrative Agent) the Borrowing Base Value shall be subject to the following adjustments:
(a)Β Β Β Β If the aggregate value of Projects with Improvements consisting of a single tenant building exceeds thirty-five percent (35%) of the Borrowing Base Value, then the aggregate value attributed to such Projects for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base Value shall be reduced to an amount so that the aggregate value of such single-tenant Projects used in determining the Borrowing Base Value does not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the Borrowing Base Value.
(b)Β Β Β Β If the Borrowing Base Value (prior to adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (b)) exceeds $200,000,000 and if the aggregate value of Projects located within the same Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA"), based on the then-current delineation of MSAs as designated by the United States Office of Management and Budget, exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Borrowing Base Value (prior to adjustment under this subparagraph (b)), then, unless otherwise approved by Administrative Agent, the aggregate value attributed to such Projects for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base Value shall be reduced so that the aggregate value of the Projects located in the same MSA used in determining the Borrowing Base Value does not exceed 50% of the total Borrowing Base Value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the threshold applied to the Austin-Round Rock, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area shall be 70% of the Borrowing Base Value until after any future addition or removal of a Project as collateral securing the Loan causes the aggregate value of Projects located within the Austin-Round Rock, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area to be 50% or less of the Borrowing Base Value. For the avoidance of doubt, until the 50% threshold applies to the Austin-Round Rock, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area, Borrower will not be permitted to add a Project within the Austin-Round Rock, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area unless otherwise approved by Administrative Agent.
(c)Β Β Β Β If the Borrowing Base Value exceeds $200,000,000 and if the aggregate value of Leasehold Projects exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the Borrowing Base Value, then, unless
-5-
otherwise approved by Administrative Agent, the aggregate value attributed to such Leasehold Projects for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base Value shall be reduced by a sufficient amount such that the aggregate value of the Leasehold Projects used in determining the Borrowing Base Value does not exceed 20% of the Borrowing Base Value).
"Borrowing Date": Means a date on which an Advance is made hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
"Business Day": Means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, or a legal holiday on which Administrative Agent is not open for business, provided (i)Β with respect to any borrowing, payment or rate selection of any Advances which bears interest at the LIBOR Based Rate, a day on which banks generally are open in Xxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx for the conduct of substantially all of their commercial lending activities, interbank wire transfers can be made on the Fedwire system and dealings in Dollars are carried on in the London interbank market and (ii) for all other purposes, a day on which banks generally are open in New York City, New York for the conduct of substantially all of their commercial lending activities.

If any obligation of any Lender to make or continue Advances at the LIBOR Based Rate has been suspended pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then during the existence of such circumstances, the interest rate applicable to such Lender's Advances will be determined based upon the Base Rate.
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in SectionΒ 2.5(a)(i)(y) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) ICE Benchmark Administration (or any Person that takes over the administration of such rate) discontinues its administration and publication of interest settlement rates for deposits in Dollars, or (iii) the supervisor for the administrator of the interest settlement rate described in Section 2.5(a)(i)(y) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such interest settlement rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall seek to jointly agree upon an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and Administrative Agent and
-27-
Borrowers shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.12, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.5(b), all new Advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate. If the alternate rate of interest determined pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
(c)Β Β Β Β If, on or after the date of this Agreement, there occurs any Change which:
(i)Β Β Β Β subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes, and Other Taxes), or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) in respect of its loans hereunder, or participations therein, or
(ii)Β Β Β Β imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to the Advances), or
(iii)Β Β Β Β imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its loans hereunder, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its loans hereunder, or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of the loans hereunder, or participations therein held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its loans hereunder or Commitment or to reduce the return received by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, in connection with such loans or Commitment, or participations therein, then, within 15 days of demand by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of such Lender), Borrowers must pay to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of such Lender), such additional amount or amounts (as determined by such Lender, which amounts will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) will not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers will not be required to compensate such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) for any increased costs or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further, that if the Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
-28-
retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.6Β Β Β Β Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulation. If a Lender determines that the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender, is increased as a result of (i) a Change or (ii) any change after the Closing Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, within 15 days of demand by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Lender, Borrowers must pay the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure or its commitment to make loans, hereunder (after taking into account Lender's policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity). Failure or delay on the part of such Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.6 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers will not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6 for any shortfall suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the Change or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines giving rise to such shortfall and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further, that if the Change or change in Risk-Based Capital Guidelines giving rise to such shortfall is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.7Β Β Β Β Fees. In addition to the interest and other consideration to Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein, Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent the Fees, as and when due in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. No termination or reduction of the Commitments and no failure of Borrowers to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article III will entitle Borrowers to a refund of any portion of such Fees.
Section 2.8Β Β Β Β First Extension of Maturity Date. At the option of Borrowers, the Initial Maturity Date may be extended for a period of twelve (12) months to November 1, 2022 (the "First Option Maturity Date") if all of the following conditions are satisfied, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, as to such extension:

Section 2.10Β Β Β Β Taxes.
(a)Β Β Β Β Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document must be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent will be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and will timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by any Borrower will be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) the applicable Lender or Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
-31-
(b)Β Β Β Β Borrowers must timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrowers will jointly and severally indemnify the Lender or Administrative Agent, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.10) payable or paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, will be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Β Β Β Β Each Lender will severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 15 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrowers have not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.11(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent will be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e)Β Β Β Β As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.10, Borrowers must deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(f)Β Β Β Β Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document will deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, will deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
-32-
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.10(f)(i)(A), (i)(B) and (i)(D) below) will not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(i)Β Β Β Β Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)Β Β Β Β any Lender that is a United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes will deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B)Β Β Β Β any Non-U.S. Lender will, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as is requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)Β Β Β Β in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such Tax treaty;
(2)Β Β Β Β executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)Β Β Β Β in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" related to any Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)Β Β Β Β to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.
(C)Β Β Β Β any Non-U.S. Lender will, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as is requested by
-33-
the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)Β Β Β Β if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender will deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" includes any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(ii)Β Β Β Β Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it will update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)Β Β Β Β If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10), it will pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, will repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.10(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.10(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph may not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
-34-
(h)Β Β Β Β Each party's obligations under this Section 2.10 survives the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 2.11Β Β Β Β Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.
(a)Β Β Β Β Each Lender may book its Advances at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement will apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loan and any Notes issued hereunder will be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to Administrative Agent and Borrowers in accordance with Section 10.7, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Advances will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.
(b)Β Β Β Β To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender will designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Advances to reduce any liability of Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 2.5(b), 2.6 and 2.10 or to avoid the unavailability of Advances as LIBOR Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.5(a), so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender will deliver a written statement of such Lender to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 2.5, 2.6 or 2.10. Such written statement must set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and will be final, conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with an Advance will be calculated as though each Lender funded its Advance through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Based Rate applicable to such Advance, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender will be payable within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Borrowers of such written statement. The obligations of Borrowers under Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.10 will survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.12Β Β Β Β Replacement of Lender. If Borrowers are required pursuant to Sections 2.5(b), 2.6 or 2.10 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender's obligation to make or continue any Advances at the LIBOR Based Rate will be suspended pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to make its portion of an Advance or declines to approve an amendment or waiver that is approved by the Required Lenders or otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so affected an "Affected Lender"), Borrowers may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement with another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers and Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) such other bank or entity will not suffer from and is not impacted by the issue or event causing the replacement of the Affected Lender, will agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash at par the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and
-35-
to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 10.10 applicable to assignments, and (ii) Borrowers will pay to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of) such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 2.5(b), 2.6 or 2.10.
-36-
Section 2.13Β Β Β Β Indemnification of Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Except for a failure caused by Administrative Agent's default, Borrowers shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders against any and all Libor Breakage Costs that Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may sustain or incur. Administrative Agent shall provide to Borrower a statement, signed by an officer of Administrative Agent, explaining any such Libor Breakage Costs, and setting forth, if applicable, the computations used to determine such Libor Breakage Costs, which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers, absent manifest error. All such Libor Breakage Costs shall be payable by Borrowers to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of demand by Administrative Agent. Borrowers hereby expressly waive any rights they may have under California Civil Code Section 2954.10, or otherwise, to prepay any portion of the Loan without penalty or Libor Breakage Costs. By initialing this provision in the space provided below, Borrowers hereby declare that the Administrative Agent and Lenders' agreement to make the subject Loan at the interest rate and for the term set forth in this Agreement constitutes adequate consideration, given individual weight by Borrowers, for this waiver and agreement.

ARTICLE IV
ADVANCES
Section 4.1Β Β Β Β General.
(a)Β Β Β Β The Loan proceeds will be advanced by the Lenders for the benefit of Borrowers in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. All monies advanced by a Lender with respect to a Project will constitute a loan made by such Lender to Borrowers under this Agreement, evidenced by a Note and secured by the Security Instruments and all other collateral for the Loan, and interest will be computed thereon, as prescribed by this Agreement, from the date Lender makes, or is deemed to have made, the Advance.
(b)Β Β Β Β Upon receipt of a request for an Advance, Administrative Agent will send a copy thereof by facsimile to each other Lender and will otherwise notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement and the proposed date of funding (the "Funding Date"). Each Lender will make available to Administrative Agent (or the funding bank designated by Administrative Agent) the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such disbursement by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the Funding Date.
(c)Β Β Β Β Unless a Lender notifies Administrative Agent on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date that it will not intend to make its Pro Rata Share of any Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent may, but will not be obligated to, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender has not in fact made such payment to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers (jointly and severally as to themselves, and severally as to the applicable Lender) agree to repay to Administrative Agent, on demand, the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) with respect to Borrowers, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Advance. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount will constitute such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Advance.
(d)Β Β Β Β Nothing in this SectionΒ 4.1 will be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of an Advance on any Funding Date, nor will Administrative Agent or any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any Advances hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender will not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a disbursement.
-42-
(e)Β Β Β Β In no event shall Administrative Agent and the Lenders have any obligation to make any Advance if the requested Advance, plus the sum of all outstanding previous Advances, would exceed the then existing Availability Amount.
Section 4.2Β Β Β Β No Waiver. No Advance will constitute a waiver of any condition precedent to the obligation of any Lender to make any further Advance, or preclude Administrative Agent or any Lender from thereafter declaring the failure of Borrowers to satisfy any such condition precedent to be an Event of Default. All conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders to make any Advance are imposed hereby solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no other party may require satisfaction of any such condition precedent or will be entitled to assume that any Lender will make or refuse to make any Advance in the absence of strict compliance with such condition precedent. Administrative Agent may waive any requirement of this Agreement for any Advance.
Section 4.3Β Β Β Β Advances of Sums Due to Lenders. Any advance of proceeds of the Loan made by Lenders under this Section 4.3 will not: (i) relieve any Borrower from its obligation to make any payments required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; (ii)Β cure any Default or Event of Default; or (iii) serve as a waiver of any of any Borrower's obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
Section 4.4Β Β Β Β [Reserved.]
Section 4.5Β Β Β Β Availability Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrowers will at all times cause the outstanding principal balance of the Loan not to exceed the Availability Amount, and the Lenders will have no obligation to make any Advance of Loan proceeds if after giving effect to the requested Advance the outstanding principal amount of the Loan would exceed the Availability Amount. If, as of the end of any calendar quarter, as determined by the quarterly reporting provided by Borrower pursuant to the terms of Section 6.15, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Availability Amount, Borrower shall pay down the Loan in compliance with Section 6.32.
Section 4.6Β Β Β Β Waiver of Disbursement Condition. The approval of any Advance prior to fulfillment of one or more conditions thereof will not be construed as a waiver of any condition, and Administrative Agent reserves the right to require fulfillment of any and all conditions prior to approving any subsequent Advance.
Section 4.7Β Β Β Β All Advances Secured by Security Instruments. It is expressly agreed that any Advances made by the Lenders, from time to time, for whatever purposes, no matter to whom made, will, as and when made, be deemed authorized by Borrowers and made pursuant to this Agreement, and will become and remain secured by the Security Instruments and all other collateral for the Loan and considered part of the obligations secured thereby. These provisions will apply whether or not Administrative Agent or any Lender approves or denies any Advance, and whether or not Administrative Agent or any Lender has approved an Advance, or a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

(m)Β Β Β Β Any Borrower shall fail to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement (which, for purposes of clarification, shall not include the Environmental Insurance Policy, it being understood by the parties that termination of such Environmental Insurance Policy shall not be an Event of Default, or constitute a breached obligation under this Agreement, but instead shall only trigger liability of the Guarantor under the Guaranty for any amounts owing by Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity, as more fully set forth in the Guaranty) or shall fail to furnish to Administrative Agent proof of payment of all premiums for such insurance within five (5) business days following Administrative Agent's written request for same (provided that Borrower has received proof of such payment at the time Administrative Agent requests such proof).
Section 8.2Β Β Β Β Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, unless such Event of Default is subsequently waived in writing by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies, consecutively or simultaneously, and in any order:

(b)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders will, suspend or terminate the obligation of the Lenders to make Advances without notice to Borrowers, provided, however, that if an Event of Default occurs under Section 8.1(h), the Lenders' obligation to make Advances to Borrowers will immediately and automatically terminate without any action of Administrative Agent or the Lenders and without notice to or demand on Borrowers, provided further, however, that these remedies do not limit or restrict the Required Lenders' right to suspend making Advances if a Default occurs;
(c)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders will, declare that the Commitments are terminated whereupon the Commitments will be terminated;
(d)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders will, declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Advances, without notice to or demand on Borrowers, provided, however, that if an Event of Default occurs under Section 8.1(h), such amounts will become immediately and automatically due and payable without any action of the Required Lenders or Administrative Agent and without notice to or demand on Borrowers;
(e)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders will, exercise any or all remedies specified herein and in the other Loan Documents against any Borrower, Guarantor and/or any other party to the Loan Documents, including (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) the right to foreclose the Security Instrument, and/or any other remedies which it may have therefor at law, in equity or under statute;
(f)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent will have the right to cure the Event of Default on behalf of any Borrower, and, in doing so, enter upon the Project, and expend such sums as it may deem
-65-
desirable, including attorneys' fees. All funds so expended will be added to the Obligations and constitute a portion of the Loan, will bear interest at the Default Rate provided herein and will be payable by Borrowers on demand; and/or
(g)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent will have the right, in person or by agent, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to take possession of the Projects and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Improvements pertaining thereto (with such modifications thereto as deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent), and employ watchmen to protect the Lenders' interest in the Projects. All reasonable sums so expended by Administrative Agent will be deemed to have been paid to Borrowers and constitute Obligations. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorneyβinβfact, with full power of substitution, to so complete the Improvements in the name of such Borrower. Borrowers hereby empower said attorney to: (a) use any funds of any Borrower, including any funds which may remain undisbursed hereunder for the purpose of so completing the Improvements; (b) make such additions, changes and corrections thereto as Administrative Agent deems appropriate; (c) employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as are required for said purposes; (d) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens against the Project, or as may be necessary or desirable for such completion of the Improvements or for clearance of title; (e) execute all applications and certificates in the name of any Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (f) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Project or the construction of the Improvements and take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any bond or guaranty of completion; and (g) do any and every act which any Borrower might do on its own behalf. It is further understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which will be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.
Section 8.3Β Β Β Β Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.2 (or after the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Advances, have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in Section 8.2(d)), any amounts received by Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Administrative Agent, subject to Sections 9.19, 9.21 and 9.22, in the following order:
(a)Β Β Β Β First, to payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.10) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
(b)Β Β Β Β second, to payment of fees, indemnities and other reimbursable expenses (other than principal and interest payable to the Lenders) (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders as required by Section 10.1 and amounts payable under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.10);
(c)Β Β Β Β third, to payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances ratably among the Lenders;
-66-
(d)Β Β Β Β fourth, to payment of all Obligations ratably among the Lenders and any Affiliate of a Lender, including with respect to Lender-Provided Swap Transactions; and
(e)Β Β Β Β last, the balance, if any, to Borrowers or as otherwise required by law;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.3.
Section 8.4Β Β Β Β Rights to Cure Defaults and Protection of Collateral. After the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrowers and without releasing any Borrower from any Obligations, make any payment or do any act required of any Borrower hereunder or in the other Loan Documents with respect to any Obligations, which payment or action on the part of Administrative Agent will be in such manner and to such extent as Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary to protect the Collateral. Administrative Agent is authorized to enter upon the Project for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Project or to foreclose the Security Instrument or to collect the Obligations, and the cost and expense thereof (including attorneys' fees and expenses to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.4, will be due and payable to Administrative Agent upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in remedying any Default or Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding will bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period beginning on the first day that such cost or expense was incurred and continuing until the date of payment to Administrative Agent. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate, will constitute a portion of the Loan and to be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and are immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent therefor.
Section 8.5Β Β Β Β [Intentionally Deleted.]
Section 8.6Β Β Β Β Acceptance of Payments. Borrowers agree that if any Borrower makes a tender of a payment but does not simultaneously tender payment of any late charge, Default Rate interest, Libor Breakage Costs or any other amount then due and owing by Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such payment is accepted by Administrative Agent or any Lender, with or without protest, such acceptance will not constitute any waiver of Administrative Agent's or such Lender's rights to receive such amounts. Furthermore, if Administrative Agent or any Lender accepts any payment from any Borrower or Guarantor after a Default or Event of Default, such acceptance will not constitute a waiver or satisfaction of any such Default or Event of Default (except to the extent such payment cures such Default or Event of Default). Any waiver or satisfaction of a Default or Event of Default must be evidenced by an express writing of Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
Section 9.1Β Β Β Β Appointment; Nature of Relationship. U.S. Bank is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as "Administrative Agent") hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article IX. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term "Administrative Agent," it is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent will not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders' contractual representative, Administrative Agent (i) will not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, and (ii) is a "representative" of the Lenders within the meaning of the term "secured party" as defined in the California Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.
Section 9.2Β Β Β Β Powers. Administrative Agent has and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent has no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by Administrative Agent.
Section 9.3Β Β Β Β General Immunity. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees will be liable to any Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender 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 to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.
Section 9.4Β Β Β Β No Responsibility for Advances, Recitals, etc. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees will be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection
-68-
therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the Obligations.
Section 9.5Β Β Β Β Action on Instructions of Lenders. Administrative Agent will in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto will be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that Administrative Agent will be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it is requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. Administrative Agent will be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it is first indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent may, at any time, request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without consent or approval from the Required Lenders, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Administrative Agent will be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents and will not have any liability for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it has received such instructions from the Required Lenders.
Section 9.6Β Β Β Β Employment of Administrative Agent and Counsel. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact. Administrative Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of agents or attorneys-in-fact.
Section 9.7Β Β Β Β Reliance of Documents; Counsel. Administrative Agent is entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of Administrative Agent.
Section 9.8Β Β Β Β Protective Advances. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to make any Protective Advance with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to protect the priority, validity or enforceability of any lien on, and security interest in, any Collateral and the instruments evidencing or securing the obligations of any Borrower under the Loan Documents. In addition, Administrative Agent may, after notice to Borrowers, make Protective Advances during any twelve (12) month period with respect to any Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes,
-69-
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Collateral; and (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to the Project. Any additional Protective Advances requires the consent of the Required Lenders. Borrowers agree to pay on demand all Protective Advances. The Lenders must reimburse Administrative Agent for any Protective Advances (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers.
Section 9.9Β Β Β Β Foreclosure. In the event that all or any portion of any Project is acquired by Administrative Agent as the result of a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the Obligations, title to the Project or any portion thereof will be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, or in an entity co-owned by the Lenders as determined by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent will prepare a recommended course of action for the Project (the "Post-Foreclosure Plan") and submit it to the Lenders for approval by the Required Lenders. In the absence of an approved Post Foreclosure Plan, Administrative Agent may make such decisions and incur such expenses relating to the ownership, operation, maintenance and marketing of the Project, and the Lenders must reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent for any such decisions in accordance with Section 9.10. In the event that Administrative Agent will not obtain the approval of the Required Lenders to such Post-Foreclosure Plan, any Lender will be permitted to submit an alternative Post-Foreclosure Plan to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent will submit any and all such additional Post-Foreclosure Plan(s) to the Lenders for evaluation and the approval by the Required Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, Administrative Agent will manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Project acquired and administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of the Project, and the collecting of rents and other sums from the Project and paying the expenses of the Project. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its Pro Rata Share of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of the Project. In addition, Administrative Agent will render or cause to be rendered by the managing agent, to each of the Lenders, monthly, an income and expense statement for the Project, and each of the Lenders must promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for the Project, and such other expenses and operating reserves as Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from the Project, Administrative Agent will, in accordance with the Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions will be made to the Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Share. The Lenders acknowledge that if title to the Project is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee, or an entity co-owned by the Lenders, the Project will not be held as a permanent investment but will be disposed of as soon as practicable and within a time period consistent with the regulations applicable to national banks for owning real estate. Administrative Agent will undertake to sell the Project at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders reasonably determine to be most advantageous. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of the Project in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence will name Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or
-70-
mortgagee. In such case, Administrative Agent and the Lenders will enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage defining the rights of the Lenders in the same, which agreement will be in all material respects similar to the rights of the Lenders with respect to the Project. The Lenders agree not to unreasonably withhold or delay their approval of a Post-Foreclosure Plan or any third party offer to purchase the Project. An offer to purchase the Project at a gross purchase price of 95% of the fair market value of the Project as set forth in a current appraisal, will be deemed to be a reasonable offer.
Section 9.10Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by Borrowers for which Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any 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 the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender will be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 2.10(d) will, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.10, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.10 will survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.11Β Β Β Β Notice of Event of Default. Administrative Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice, Administrative Agent will give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent will not have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
Section 9.12Β Β Β Β Rights as a Lender. In the event Administrative Agent is a Lender, Administrative Agent will have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" will, at any time when Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include
-71-
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with any Borrower or any of its affiliates in which any such Borrower or such affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
Section 9.13Β Β Β Β Lender Credit Decision, Legal Representation.
(a)Β Β Β Β Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by each Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent will have no duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent (whether or not in its capacity as Administrative Agent) or any of their Affiliates.
(b)Β Β Β Β Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all applicable Laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to Administrative Agent represents only Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 9.14Β Β Β Β Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately following sentence in this Section 9.14, the Required Lenders shall appoint (upon consultation with Borrowers so long as no Event of Default exists), on behalf of Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders within 15 days after the resigning Administrative Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent shall appoint (upon consultation with Borrowers so long as no Event of Default exists), on behalf of Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of Borrowers or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. Upon the appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
-72-
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent will thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX will continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to Administrative Agent by merger, or Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 9.14, then the term "Prime Rate" as used in this Agreement will mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.
Section 9.15Β Β Β Β Delegation to Affiliates. Borrowers and the Lenders agree that Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate's directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement will be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which Administrative Agent is entitled under this Article IX and Section 10.1.
Section 9.16Β Β Β Β Borrower, Collateral and Guarantor Releases. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to Borrowers on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as are necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of a Borrower and the Collateral or any portion thereof which is permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, in connection with any asset sale permitted hereunder or in connection with any release of a borrower or guarantor made in accordance with the Loan Documents) or which otherwise has been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 10.12, all of the Lenders) in writing. In addition, the Lenders authorize Administrative Agent to release any Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person is no longer required to be a borrower or guarantor under the Loan Documents, as applicable. Upon the request of Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent's authority to release its interest in the Collateral or any portion thereof, or to release any Borrower or Guarantor from its respective obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to the foregoing. In each case as specified hereto, Administrative Agent (and each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to), at Borrowers' expense, execute and deliver to Borrowers such documents as Borrowers may reasonably request to evidence the release of the Collateral or portion thereof from the security interest granted under the Loan Documents, or to release a borrower or guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
Section 9.17Β Β Β Β No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrowers acknowledge and agree that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and any book runner and the Lenders are arm's-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, Administrative Agent and any book runner on the other hand, (B) Borrowers have consulted
-73-
their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) Administrative Agent, any book runner and each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither Administrative Agent, any book runner nor any Lender has any obligation to any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Administrative Agent, any book runner, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and neither Administrative Agent, any book runner nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or any Borrower's Affiliates.Β To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrowers hereby waive and release any claims that any of them may have against Administrative Agent, any book runner and each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 9.18Β Β Β Β Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent, etc. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a "co-agent" or a "book runner" will have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders will have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to Administrative Agent in Section 9.13.
Section 9.19Β Β Β Β Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a)Β each Advance from the Lenders will be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees will be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Agreement will be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; (b)Β each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower will be made for the account of the Lenders proΒ rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan will not be held by the Lenders proΒ rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, then such payment will be applied to the Loan in such manner as will result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders proΒ rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and (c)Β each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrowers will be made for the account of the Lenders proΒ rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
Section 9.20Β Β Β Β Security Interest in Deposits. Borrowers hereby grant each Lender a security interest in all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of Borrowers with such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to secure the Obligations. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable Law, if any Event of Default has
-74-
occurred and is continuing, Borrowers authorize each Lender to, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, apply all such deposits, credits and deposit accounts toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, will then be due and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to such Lender or the Lenders; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off must be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.22 and, pending such payment, must be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender must provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
Section 9.21Β Β Β Β Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to its portion of the Loan (other than payments received pursuant to SectionΒ 2.5(b), 2.6 or 2.10) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loan held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Loan. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral or other protection ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments will be made.
Section 9.22Β Β Β Β Defaulting Lenders.
(a)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)Β Β Β Β Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement will be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii)Β Β Β Β Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 9.20 will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent (excluding any Advance (or portion thereof) which has been funded by a Special Advance); third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this
-75-
Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any Special Advances paid by any Lenders as a result of such Defaulting Lender's failure to fund its portion of any Advance; fifth, to the payment of any other amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in SectionsΒ 3.3 and 3.4 were satisfied or waived, such payment will be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender will be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Β Β Β Β No Defaulting Lender will be entitled to receive any unused fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower will not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(b)Β Β Β Β If Borrowers and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.
Section 9.23Β Β Β Β Special Advances. If a Lender fails to fund its portion of any Advance, in whole or part, within three Business Days after the date required hereunder and Administrative Agent has not funded the Defaulting Lender's portion of the Advance under Section 4.1(c), Administrative Agent will so notify the Lenders, and within three (3) Business Days after delivery of such notice, the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) will have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to fund all or a portion of such deficiency (the amount so funded by any such Lenders being referred to herein as a "Special Advance") to Borrowers. In such event, the Defaulting Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent for payment to the Lenders making the Special Advance, forthwith
-76-
on demand such amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Defaulting Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of Borrowers, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Advance.
Section 9.24Β Β Β Β Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)Β Β Β Β Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrowers or Guarantor, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not an entity deemed to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.

(b)Β Β Β Β In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrowers or Guarantor, that: (i) none of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1Β Β Β Β General Indemnities. Except as to the claims, costs, losses and damages described in the Indemnity which shall be governed by the Indemnity, Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and employees, agents and advisors against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto, settlement costs, in-house and outside attorney's fees and expenses) (collectively, "Losses") which any of them may pay or incur
-78-
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (other than the Indemnity and the Guaranties), the transactions contemplated hereby, or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the Loan proceeds, except to the extent that such Losses are caused by, or have resulted from, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification. Borrowers also hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and employees, agents and advisors harmless against any Losses which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any claim or claims made by any Person, including any broker or agent, that they are or may be entitled to a commission or other form of compensation in connection with the securing of or making of the Loan. The obligations of Borrowers under this Section 10.1 will survive the termination of this Agreement. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender will have any liability with respect to, and Borrowers hereby waive, release and agree not to xxx for, any lost profits or special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby (provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply to any actual damages suffered by any Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing indemnity or anything else contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which may be construed to the contrary, all of Borrowers' indemnity obligations and other obligations of Borrowers pertaining to Environmental Liabilities and/or Hazardous Substances will be deemed to be contained in and arise under only the Indemnity, and not under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any of Borrowers' indemnity obligations or other obligations pertaining to Environmental Liabilities and/or Hazardous Substances that might be construed to exist under any other Loan Document (other than the Indemnity) will be deemed to be removed from such other Loan Document and transferred to the Indemnity, so that the Indemnity is the only Loan Document that contains and sets forth the Borrowers' indemnity obligations and other obligations of Borrowers pertaining to Environmental Liabilities and/or Hazardous Substances.
Section 10.2Β Β Β Β Binding Effect; Waivers; Cumulative Rights and Remedies. The provisions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, (a) Borrowers will not have the right to assign their respective rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 10.10, and (c) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 10.11. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 10.2 will be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (b) of this Section 10.2 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 10.2 will not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest will release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder
-79-
unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of SectionΒ 10.10. Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Advance or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 10.10; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but will not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Advance or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Advance or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Advance or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Advance will be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan. No delay on the part of Administrative Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder constitute such a waiver or exhaust the same, all of which will be continuing. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent specified in this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights and remedies which Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have at law, in equity or by statute, and all such rights and remedies, together with Administrative Agent's rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents, are cumulative and may be exercised individually, concurrently, successively and in any order.
Section 10.3Β Β Β Β Reduction of Aggregate Commitment. Provided (a) no draw request is pending that would result in the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeding the Aggregate Commitment, and (b) that immediately after such reduction the outstanding principal balance of the Loan is less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitment, (which for the purposes of this Section shall include any amounts requested under a pending draw request), Borrower may (in its sole and absolute discretion) permanently reduce the available Aggregate Commitment of the Loan (without the payment of any prepayment fee, other than break funding, including any sums owing under Section 2.13 hereof, and any charges relating to early termination of any Swap Contracts), by giving Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such reduction at least two (2) Business Days prior to the indicated effective date of the reduction. Each such reduction shall (a) be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in increments of $500,000 thereafter), (b) in no event reduce the Aggregate Commitment below the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and (c) permanently reduce the maximum Aggregate Commitment of the Loan available to Borrower.
Section 10.4Β Β Β Β Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement survive the execution of this Agreement, the making of the Advances by the Lenders, and the execution of the other Loan Documents, and will continue until payment in full of all Obligations of Borrowers incurred under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents.

XXXXXXXXXX XXX XX XXX XXXXXX XXXXXX OF AMERICA. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWERS HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND ANY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWERS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION RELATING TO THE LOAN AND/OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, (A) SUBMITS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY ANY PERSON ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, (C) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT CONVENIENT, AND (D) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM (BUT NOTHING HEREIN WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS TO BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM). BORROWERS FURTHER CONSENT AND AGREE TO SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED U.S. MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESSES FOR NOTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND CONSENT AND AGREE THAT SUCH SERVICE WILL CONSTITUTE IN EVERY RESPECT VALID AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE (BUT NOTHING HEREIN WILL AFFECT THE VALIDITY OR EFFECTIVENESS OF PROCESS SERVED IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW).
Section 10.6Β Β Β Β Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which constitutes a single Agreement.
Section 10.7Β Β Β Β Notices.
(a)Β Β Β Β All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (any of the foregoing, a "Notice") required, permitted or desired to be given hereunder must be in writing and must be sent by: (i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (ii) reputable overnight courier, or (iii) delivered by hand by commercial courier service, addressed to the party to be so notified at its address set forth opposite its signature, below, or to such other address as such party may hereafter specify in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.7. Any Notice will be deemed to have been received: (A) 3 days after the date such Notice is mailed, (B) on the date of delivery by hand (or refusal to accept such
-81-
delivery) if delivered during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise on the next Business Day), and/or (C) on the next Business Day if sent by an overnight commercial courier.
(b)Β Β Β Β Any party may change the address to which any such Notice is to be delivered by furnishing 10 days prior written notice of such change to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.7. Notices will be deemed to have been given on the date as set forth above, even if there is an inability to actually deliver any such Notice because of a changed address of which no Notice was given, or there is a rejection or refusal to accept any Notice offered for delivery.
Section 10.8Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent's Sign. Agent may, if it so desires, publicize its involvement with the Properties, including, but not limited to, issuing press releases (subject to Borrower's review and approval thereof, not to be withheld unreasonably), but it may not place any signage on any Property without Borrower's prior written consent (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in Borrower's sole and absolute discretion).
Section 10.9Β Β Β Β No Third Party Reliance. No third party is entitled to rely upon this Agreement or to have any of the benefits of Administrative Agent's or any Lender's interest hereunder, unless such third party is an express assignee of all or a portion of a Lender's interest hereunder in accordance with Section 10.10 and Section 10.11 hereof.
Section 10.10Β Β Β Β Assignments.
(a)Β Β Β Β Any Lender may at any time and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 10.10) assign to any Affiliate of such Lender or to one or more Eligible Assignees (collectively, "Purchasers") all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment must be substantially in the form of Exhibit J or in such other form reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (but only to the extent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto). Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender must either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment or aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances of the assigning Lender or (unless Borrowers and Administrative Agent otherwise consent) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment must be based on the Commitment or aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances of the assigning Lender (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the "Trade Date," if the "Trade Date" is specified in the assignment.
(b)Β Β Β Β The consent of Borrowers will be required prior to an assignment becoming effective, provided that the consent of Borrower will not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The consent of Administrative Agent is required prior to an assignment becoming effective. Any consent required under this Section 10.10(b) will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c)Β Β Β Β Upon (i) delivery to Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption, together with any consents required by Sections 10.10(a) and 10.10(b), and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignee or the assignor to Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by Administrative Agent), such assignment will become
-82-
effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment must contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and the portion of the Loan assigned to Purchaser under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser will for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and will have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender will be released with respect to the Commitment and the portion of the Loan assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by Borrowers, the Lenders or Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender will cease to be a Lender hereunder but will continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.10 will be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.11. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.10(c), the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower will make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. Upon request, Borrower will execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, at Borrower's cost to the extent such costs do not exceed $10,000, an appropriate replacement promissory note or replacement promissory notes in favor of each assignee (and assignor, if such assignor is retaining a portion of its Commitment percentage and advances) reflecting such assignee's (and assignor's) percentage of the Commitment. Upon execution and delivery of such replacement promissory note(s), the original promissory note or notes evidencing all or a portion of the Lenders' percentages of the Committed Amount and advances being assigned shall be canceled and returned to Borrower. For purposes of clarification, if Borrower's costs relating to an Assignment and Assumption exceed $10,000, such costs exceeding $10,000 shall be borne by the Lenders receiving replacement notes pro rata in accordance with such Lenders' percentage of the Committed Amount. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be required to execute any certifications or similar documents or to provide any representations or warranties confirming the accuracy of any information or otherwise in connection with any assignment or participation. Promptly following receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment and Assumption, Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and to the Lenders of: (i) the effectiveness of the assignment by the assigning Lender to the assignee Lender (or the affiliate of the Lender); and (ii) the revised percentages and maximum amounts of the Commitment percentage of the Committed Amount in effect as a result of such assignment.
(d)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, will maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the
-83-
Advances owing to, each Lender, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register will be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register will be available for inspection by Borrowers and each Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)Β Β Β Β Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession, provided, however, that any such Transferee executes a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower.
(f)Β Β Β Β So long as no Event of Default exists, unless Borrower otherwise consents, U.S. Bank shall at all times retain at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Committed Amount.
(g)Β Β Β Β The Borrower and Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to a Transferee until such time as (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Purchaser shall have been given to the Borrower and Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender and the Transferee; (ii) the assigning Lender and the Transferee shall have delivered to the Borrower and Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption.
Section 10.11Β Β Β Β Participations.
(a)Β Β Β Β Any Lender may, upon prior written notice to Borrower, at any time sell to one or more entities ("Participants") participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender.; provided, however, the voting rights of any participants shall be limited to actions with respect to increases in the maximum Committed Amount, extensions of the maturity date beyond the extension option terms and changes in the interest rates applicable to the Loan. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents will remain unchanged, such Lender will remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender will remain the owner of its Commitment and the Obligations owing to such Lender, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement will be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent will continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
(b)Β Β Β Β Each Lender will retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Commitment or Loan in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of SectionΒ 10.12 or of any other Loan Document.
-84-
(c)Β Β Β Β Each Lender that sells a participation will, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in any Commitment or any other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender will have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitment or any other Obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Commitment or any other Obligations under the Loan Documents is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender will treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) will have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Section 10.12Β Β Β Β Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.12, the Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to this Agreement, the Guaranty or any other Loan Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement will:
(a)Β Β Β Β without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, extend the final maturity of the Loan, or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of the Loan, or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Lender hereunder;
(b)Β Β Β Β without the consent of all of the Lenders, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;
(c)Β Β Β Β without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend Section 9.21 or this Section 10.12; provided, that the foregoing limitation in respect of Section 9.21 will not prohibit each Lender directly affected thereby from consenting to the extension of the final maturity date of the Loan as contemplated by Section 10.12(a) above; and
(d)Β Β Β Β except as otherwise provided in Section 9.16, without the consent of all of the Lenders, release all or substantially all of the Collateral.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to Administrative Agent will be effective without the written consent of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 10.10(c) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrowers only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any
-85-
of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency of a technical or immaterial nature, as determined in good faith by Administrative Agent.
Section 10.13Β Β Β Β Joint Borrower Provisions. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the Loan and all other Obligations arising under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents. In furtherance thereof, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a)Β Β Β Β For the purpose of implementing the joint borrower provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications.
(b)Β Β Β Β To induce the Lenders to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders against, and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of damage or injury asserted against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders by any Borrower or by any other Person arising from or incurred by reason of (i)Β reliance by the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders on any requests or instructions from any Borrower, or (ii) any other action taken by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(c)Β Β Β Β Each Borrower acknowledges that the liens and security interests created or granted herein and by the other Loan Documents (as applicable, and expressly excluding the Indemnity and the Guaranties) will secure Obligations of all Borrowers under the Loan Documents (other than the Indemnity) and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof or of any other Loan Document:
(i)Β Β Β Β agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;
(ii)Β Β Β Β agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(iii)Β Β Β Β accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof;
(iv)Β Β Β Β accept partial payments on the Obligations;
(v)Β Β Β Β receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof;
-86-
(vi)Β Β Β Β release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security for or guaranties of the Obligations, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion may determine;
(vii)Β Β Β Β release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof;
(viii)Β Β Β Β settle, release on terms satisfactory to Administrative Agent or by operation of applicable Laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Obligations and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner, consent to the transfer of any such security and bid and purchase at any sale; and consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of any Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations of such Borrower or other Person, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing existence of any lien or security interest hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.
(d)Β Β Β Β Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Administrative Agent and/or Lenders at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and in collecting on the Loan it shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, in connection with Administrative Agent's and/or Lender's efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may proceed against any Persons and/or collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion in connection with Administrative Agent's efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Administrative Agent may file a separate action or actions against each Borrower to enforce the Obligations, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent, Lenders, each Borrower and/or any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The rights of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at all times shall remain
-87-
effective even though the any or all Obligations, or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any Borrower or any other Person and whether or not any Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses to the enforcement of its obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to marshal assets in favor of any of the Borrowers or any other Person, (v) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations to any Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition, (vi) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to comply in any non-material respect with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Obligation, (vii) any act or omission of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or of any other Person or of any of the Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (viii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety's or guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (ix) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (x) the election by Administrative Agent, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code except to extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (xii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Administrative Agent securing the Obligations for any reason, or (xv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, with respect to the Loan Documents and the Obligations, each Borrower: (A) waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for Borrowers' obligations, has destroyed each of their rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; and (B)Β waives any right to a fair value hearing or similar proceeding following a nonjudicial foreclosure of the Obligations, whether arising under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a or otherwise.
(e)Β Β Β Β The Borrowers represent and warrant to Administrative Agent and Lenders that they have established adequate means of obtaining from each other, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to their respective businesses, operations and
-88-
condition (financial and otherwise) and their respective properties, and each now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other and their respective properties. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to disclose to such Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other Borrowers or the other Borrowers' properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders during the life of this Agreement. With respect to any of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the officers, employees or other Persons acting or purporting to act on such Borrower's behalf.
(f)Β Β Β Β Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this Agreement, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that it may have because the Borrowers' debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(i)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may collect on the debt from any Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrowers; and
(ii)Β Β Β Β If Administrative Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Borrower: (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Administrative Agent may collect from any Borrower even if Administrative Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right any Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.
The foregoing is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property collateral provided by any other Borrower to secure the debt and failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect such Borrower's obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any liens created or granted hereby or thereby.
(g)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party, with respect to the Loan and all other Obligations, each Borrower hereby waives with respect to the other Borrowers and their successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person any and all rights at law or in equity, to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff, to any other rights and defenses available to it by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 and 2855, inclusive, or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker and which each of them may have or hereafter acquire against the other or any other Person in connection with or as a result of such Borrower's execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party until the Obligations are paid and performed in full. Each Borrower agrees that it
-89-
shall not have or assert any such rights against any other Borrower or any other Borrower's successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against such Borrower by any other Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity) or any other Person until the all Obligations are paid and performed in full. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower's liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.
(h)Β Β Β Β Each Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which each otherwise may have against the other, against Administrative Agent and Lenders or others, or against any collateral. If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Closing Date Borrowers shall have the option to increase the Aggregate Commitment based, in part, on the addition of one or more Additional Projects in accordance with SectionΒ 10.30 to secure the Loan (such option shall be referred to herein as the "Accordion Option"), subject to the following: (a)Β one or more new lenders shall have been added to this Agreement (each, a "New Lender") and/or one or more existing Lenders (each, an "Additionally Committed Lender"), in their sole and absolute discretion, shall have elected to increase their individual Commitments, so that the Aggregate Commitment may be increased, provided that each New Lender and/or Additionally Committed Lender shall be approved by Administrative Agent and Borrower (but not the other Lenders), (b)Β the Aggregate Commitment may be increased up to a maximum of $385,000,000, (c)Β unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents in writing, the allocation of the increased Aggregate Commitment between the Revolving Portion and the Non-Revolving Portion shall be fifty percent (50%) to the Revolving Portion and fifty percent (50%) to the Non-Revolving Portion, (d)Β each exercise of the Accordion Option shall be in an amount not less than $15,000,000, and (e)Β the Accordion Option may be exercised a maximum of four (4) times (and all conditions to exercising such option must have been satisfied as of such date). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its consent to any such increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall not be required and additional Lenders may be added to this Agreement, and any Additionally Committed Lenders under this Agreement may increase their individual Commitments, without the consent or agreement of the other Lenders (provided, however, that no Lender's individual Commitment may be increased without such Lender's consent), so long as Administrative Agent and Borrowers have consented in writing to any New Lenders or the increase in the Commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender, as applicable.
The addition of any New Lender to this Agreement, and/or the increase in the Commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender, shall be effective upon the satisfaction of the following:
(a)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall have approved such New Lender and/or such increase in the Commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender, as applicable; and Administrative Agent shall have sent written notice to all Lenders of such New Lender and its Commitment amount and/or the amount of the increase in the Commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender (each, an "Accordion Notice").
(b)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent shall have calculated each Lender's new Pro Rata Share, based on each Lender's individual Commitment and the new Aggregate Commitment of all Lenders, and Administrative Agent shall have determined the portion of the Non-Revolving Portion (and outstanding Non-Revolving Portion) and the Revolving Portion (and outstanding Revolving Portion) allocable to each Lender based on such Lender's new Pro Rata Share.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent a new Note with respect to any New Lender in the amount of such New Lender's Commitment; or with respect to an increase in the Commitment of an Additionally Committed Lender, Borrower shall have executed a replacement Note for such Additionally Committed Lender in an amount equal to such Additionally Committed Lender's increased Commitment amount.
(d)Β Β Β Β The Lenders shall execute such Assignment and Assumption Agreements as Administrative Agent shall require to evidence each New Lender's acquisition of its
-97-
Commitment of the Loan and Loan Documents, and to evidence each Additionally Committed Lender's increased Commitment. Alternatively (or in addition), at Administrative Agent's option each New Lender shall acknowledge in writing (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) that it is assuming the rights and obligations of a "Lender" under this Agreement, and if required by Administrative Agent shall execute a copy of this Agreement. Each New Lender and/or each Additionally Committed Lender shall pay to the other existing Lenders a portion of the then outstanding Revolving Portion and the Non-Revolving Portion so that upon the closing of the exercise of the Accordion Option and increase in the Aggregate Commitment, each Lender shall have owing to it its Pro Rata Share of the then outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Portion and the Non-Revolving Portion (as set forth in the revised ScheduleΒ I to be delivered in accordance with subparagraphΒ (e) below). For the avoidance of doubt, each New Lender must acquire the same percentage of the Revolving Portion and the Non-Revolving Portion, and each Additionally Committed Lender must increase its Commitment with respect to the Revolving Portion and the Non-Revolving Portion by the same percentage.
(e)Β Β Β Β Administrative Agent shall have prepared an updated ScheduleΒ I, revised to reflect each Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitment, which updated ScheduleΒ I shall be delivered to the Lenders with the Accordion Notice.
(f)Β Β Β Β Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent such reaffirmations of its Guaranties and acknowledgment of its increased liability thereunder as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require; provided, however, that with the exception of the Guarantor's increased liability due to the increase in the Aggregate Commitment, Guarantor's liability shall remain unmodified as set forth in the Guaranties.
(g)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall have paid the applicable fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

Following the release of any Project (or portion thereof), such Release Project (or portion thereof) shall no longer be included in the definition of "Project" except with respect to any indemnities and other provisions of the Loan Documents that expressly survive repayment of the Loan.
Section 10.32Β Β Β Β Collateral Documents. If any Security Instrument shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid lien and security interest in the collateral purported to be covered thereby or such lien or security interest shall for any reason cease to be a perfected and first priority lien and security interest subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and any such defect or infirmity is not cured to Administrative Agent's reasonable satisfaction within ninety (90) days of demand by Administrative Agent, the Project encumbered by such Security Instrument shall immediately (following the expiration of such ninety (90) day cure period) cease to be included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Value and Borrowing Base Amount, and Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, within ten (10) days of demand by Administrative Agent, any amounts by which the total outstanding Obligations exceed the Availability Amount.
Section 10.33Β Β Β Β Limited Recourse Provision. Except as to Guarantor as set forth in the Guaranty, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no recourse against, nor shall there be any personal liability to, the members of any existing Borrower (or the members of any Borrower hereafter becoming a Borrower under the Loan), or to any shareholders, members, partners, beneficial interest holders or any other entity or person in the ownership (directly or indirectly) of any such existing or future Borrower (except for the Guarantor as provided in the Guaranty, but including the sole member of each Borrower (other than Guarantor), including the sole member of any new Borrower (other than Guarantor), KBS Limited Partnership III or KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc.) with respect to the obligations of Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the above language limit, reduce or otherwise affect any Borrower's liability or obligations under the Loan Documents, Guarantor's liability or obligations under the Guaranty or Administrative Agent's right to exercise any rights or remedies against any collateral securing the Loan.
Section 10.34Β Β Β Β Release of a Borrower. As to any Release Project released from the lien of a Security Instrument pursuant to the terms of Section 10.31 hereinabove, the Borrower
-104-
owning such Release Project (a "Release Borrower") shall be automatically released from any and all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (excepting, however, any obligations that may arise under the Indemnity) upon the consummation of the release of such Release Project, as evidenced by a written release from Administrative Agent to be delivered concurrently with the consummation of such release (and Administrative Agent hereby agrees to deliver such written release to such Release Borrower upon satisfaction of all release conditions set forth in Section 10.34) provided that such Release Borrower shall also be automatically released from any and all of its obligations under the Indemnity if, at the time of such release, (i) such Release Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a current environmental site assessment for such Release Project and such report does not disclose the existence of any "new" (i.e., not previously disclosed to Administrative Agent in the Environmental Reports) violation of any Environmental Law or any Environmental Liability applicable to such Release Project, which reports shall be dated, or last updated, to a date which is no more than thirty days earlier than the date on which the Security Instrument securing such Release Project is discharged or released of record, (ii) no Environmental Liability shall be pending or threatened in writing with respect to such Release Project, and (iii) Borrower maintains for such Release Project an environmental insurance policy substantially in the form of the Environmental Insurance Policy approved by Administrative Agent when such Release Project was added as collateral for the Loan, which policy shall have a term of no less than one year after the date of the release of such Release Project and which policy (or endorsement thereto) shall name Administrative Agent as an additional insured. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Release Borrower, to the extent that any payment made by such Release Borrower is rescinded or otherwise must be returned by Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, such Release Borrower's liability shall be reinstated (solely to the extent rescinded or returned plus any amounts payable pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Loan Agreement), all as though such payment had not occurred. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the release of a Release Borrower under this Section 10.34 release any other Borrower or Guarantor from any obligations owing under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, such parties continuing indemnity obligations under the Indemnity relating to a Release Project following the release of a Release Borrower).
Section 10.35Β Β Β Β Civil Code Section 2822 Waiver. If, at any time, any surety exists that is liable for only a portion of Borrowers obligations under the Loan Documents and Borrower provides partial satisfaction of Borrowers obligations, Borrowers waive any right they would otherwise have under California Civil Code Section 2822, or under any similar law or otherwise, to designate the portion of Borrowers obligations to be satisfied. The designation of the portion of Borrowers obligations to be satisfied will, to the extent not expressly made by the terms of the Loan Documents, be made by Bank rather than by Borrowers.
