Such borrowing will then be made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent crediting the account designated by Borrower with the aggregate of the amounts made available to Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by Administrative Agent.

2.3 Swingline Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to Borrower under the Commitments from time to time during the Commitment Period by making swingline loans (“Swingline Loans”) to Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time,

when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect), (ii) Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero, and (iii) Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the Borrowing Base Availability would be less than zero. During the Commitment Period, Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

(b) Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

2.4 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(a) Whenever Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of Borrower designated by Borrower on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one (1) Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Borrower agrees to reimburse Swingline Lender through Administrative Agent if so requested by Administrative Agent on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such Swingline Lender notifies Borrower of the date and amount to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loan. If such amount is not so reimbursed on such succeeding Business Day, Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay such deficiency relating to Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.4(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.4(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.4(b)

(the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then-outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then-outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.5 Commitment Fees, Etc.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears Two Business days following the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof; provided, however, pursuant to Section 2.20, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay a commitment fee for the account of any Defaulting Lender.

(b) Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Borrower and Administrative Agent.

2.6 Termination or Reduction of Commitment.

(a) Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Outstanding Amount would exceed the Total Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.

(b) If, for nine (9) consecutive months, (i) the Outstanding Amount is zero and (ii) the Borrowing Base Availability is less than zero, the Total Commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate.

2.7 Optional Prepayments.

Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one (1) Business Day prior thereto in the case of ABR Loans (or on the same Business Day in the case of Swingline Loans), which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17. Upon receipt of any such notice Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and second, to Eurodollar Loans.

2.8 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If, on any date on which there is an Outstanding Amount, the Borrowing Base Availability is less than zero, Borrower shall, on such date, reduce the Outstanding Amount or any other Borrowing Base Debt by an amount at least equal to such deficiency.

(b) If on any date (i) the Mandatory Prepayment Test Debt exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) $100,000,000 plus (B) 90% of the book value of Model Units, Borrower shall reduce the Outstanding Amount by the amount of such deficiency.

(c) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of Swingline Loans, second, to the prepayment of Revolving Loans; and third, that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then-outstanding is less than the amount of such prepaid (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash equal to 100% of such L/C Obligations in a cash collateral account established with Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

2.9 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto by Borrower giving irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then-expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.10 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.11 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. Administrative Agent shall as soon as

practicable notify Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

(c) Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

2.14 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and

payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then-applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to Administrative Agent. A certificate of Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from Borrower.

(e) Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by Borrower hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower is making such payment, and Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to Administrative Agent by Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower.

2.15 Requirements of Law.

(a) If (i) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof or (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any requests, rules, guidelines, or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender by an amount that such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon its demand accompanied by a customary explanation of the calculation of such increased costs, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor accompanied by a customary explanation of the calculation of such reduced rate of return, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 if it is not at the time the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand compensation in similar circumstances in similar agreement.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 submitted by any Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.16 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or

enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 2.16 or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Lender, Transferee or Agent that is not a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased for transmittal to Borrower and Administrative Agent) two (2) copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with all additional documentation required to be transmitted with Form W-8IMY, including the appropriate forms described in this Section 2.16), as applicable, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender (i) certifying each such Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI filer’s entitlement to a zero rate of, or a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (ii) if the Non-U.S. Lender is claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, attaching to such Non-U.S. Lender’s Form W-8BEN a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit D. Such forms shall be true and accurate and shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and promptly from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose). If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States Federal Withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained

in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent any documentation reasonably requested by Borrower and Administrative Agent sufficient for Administrative Agent and Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.16 that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender (or Transferee) or Administrative Agent that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall furnish an accurate and complete U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that such Lender (or Transferee) or Administrative Agent is not subject to United States backup withholding, and to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, provide a new Form W-9 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form.

(f) The agreements in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17 Indemnity.

Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) Default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) Default by Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 (which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such amounts) submitted to Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.18 Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.15 or 2.16(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a).

2.19 Replacement of Lenders.

Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a) or 2.16(b), (b) is a Defaulting Lender or (c) is a Lender that refuses to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement that has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 10.1, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall not have rescinded its request for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16(a) or 2.16(b), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that replacement Lender shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16(a) or 2.16(b), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.20 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Sections 2.5(a) and 3.3(a);

(b) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1), provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders of the same tranche shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower; provided that any payments made with respect to such increase in such Commitment shall not be subject to Section 3.6 or Section 10.7 with respect to any Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages only to the extent (A) no non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (determined excluding the Commitments of Defaulting Lenders) of the Outstanding Amount exceeds such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, if requested by an Issuing Lender, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

(iii) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Revolving Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 3.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; or

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations are neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such L/C Obligations are cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100%-covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders (and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein) and/or, if requested by any Issuing Lender, cash collateral will be provided by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c).

(e) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 but excluding Section 2.19) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender so requests, to be held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing interest in Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such

Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event that Administrative Agent, Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender (as applicable) each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.

2.21 Increase in Commitments.

Borrower may, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date, increase the Total Commitments by up to $190,000,000 to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $400,000,000 by requesting the existing Lenders or new lenders to commit to any such increase; provided that: (a) no Lender shall be required to commit to any such increase; (b) no such increase shall become effective unless at the time thereof and after giving effect thereto (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier time, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier time, provided, that, to the extent any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality or by reference to Material Adverse Effect, such representation shall be true and correct in all respects, and (iii) Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from Borrower to the effect of (i) and (ii) of clause (b); and (c) no new lender shall become a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Administrative Agent shall have given its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall be entitled to pay upfront or other fees to such lenders who extend credit pursuant to this Section 2.21 as Borrower and such lenders may agree. Such increase in the Commitments shall become effective on the date (the “Increased Facility Closing Date”) specified in an activation notice delivered to Administrative Agent no less than five (5) Business Days prior to effective date of such notice specifying the amount of the increase and the effective date thereof. Each new lender that provides any part of such increase in the Commitments (a “New Lender”) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E, whereupon such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent, on each Increased Facility Closing Date, Borrower shall borrow Revolving Loans under the relevant increased Commitments from each Lender participating in the relevant increase in an amount determined by reference to the amount of each Type of Loan (and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, of each Eurodollar Tranche) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or Eurodollar Tranche had been borrowed or effected on such Increased Facility Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of each such Type or Eurodollar Tranche requested to be so borrowed or effected had been proportionately increased. The Eurodollar Base Rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan borrowed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall equal the rate then applicable to the Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders in the same Eurodollar Tranche (or, until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period, such other rate as shall be agreed upon between Borrower and the relevant Lender).

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries and Homebuilding Joint Ventures on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations (exclusive of unreimbursed drawings that are reimbursed on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, such Letter of Credit) would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero or (iii) the Borrowing Base Availability would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) have a face amount of at least $5,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender) and (iii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is 364 days after to the Revolving Facility Termination Date, provided (A) that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above) and (B) at least 90 days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date, Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount equal to 100% of such balance in cash in a cash collateral account established with Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit.

Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender with a copy to Administrative Agent at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by an Issuing Lender and Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans, shared ratably among the Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the Issuance Date. In addition, Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the Issuance Date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand made through Administrative Agent at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to an Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of an Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with a copy to the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute through Administrative Agent to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by any Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of Borrower.

Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender through Administrative Agent if so requested by Administrative Agent on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such Issuing Lender notifies Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to an Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. To the extent that any such amount is not reimbursed to an Issuing Lender by 2 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of payment, interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full (i) at the rate set forth in Section 2.11(b) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, and (ii) thereafter, at the rate set forth in Section 2.11(c). Each Issuing Lender shall give Borrower written notice of the payment of each draft under a Letter of Credit.

3.6 Obligations Absolute.

Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code, shall be binding on Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to Borrower.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments.

If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of an Issuing Lender to Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications.

To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.3 Compliance with Laws and Other Requirements.

The Loan Parties are in compliance with all laws and other requirements applicable to their businesses and have obtained all material authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits, and exemptions from, and have accomplished all filings, registrations, or qualifications with, any Governmental Authority that is necessary for the transaction of their respective businesses, in each case except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except for authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits, and exemptions relating to the development, construction, and sale of real property that the Loan Parties are in the process of obtaining or intend to obtain in the ordinary course of business.

4.4 Entities Owned.

(a) Schedule 4.4 sets forth, updated as of the last day of the most recent quarter, the names and jurisdictions of incorporation or formation of all Subsidiaries, Homebuilding Joint Ventures, and other entities in which Borrower has a direct or indirect ownership interest (but excluding publicly-traded Persons in which Borrower, directly or indirectly, holds less than a five percent (5%) ownership interest). Except as described in Schedule 4.4, as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of Borrower, excluding publicly-traded Persons in which Borrower, directly or indirectly, holds less than a five percent (5%) ownership interest, Borrower does not own any Capital Stock or ownership interest in any Person other than its Subsidiaries and Homebuilding Joint Ventures. All outstanding shares of Capital Stock or ownership interests, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) and Homebuilding Joint Venture that are owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary are (i) owned of record and

beneficially by Borrower and/or by one (1) or more Subsidiaries, free and clear of all material Liens, claims, encumbrances, and rights of others (other than Liens permitted under this Agreement), and are (ii) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable (except for capital calls or contribution requirements in connection with ownership interests in Homebuilding Joint Ventures), and issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities and other laws, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower may update Schedule 4.4 from time to time by sending written notice to Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) is a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company duly incorporated or formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, is duly qualified to do business as, and is in good standing as, a foreign corporation, partnership, or limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary (except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), and has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own and lease its properties.

(c) Each Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) is in compliance with all laws and other requirements applicable to its business and has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits, and exemptions from, and has accomplished all filings, registrations, or qualifications with, any Governmental Authority that is necessary for the transaction of its business, in each case except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except for consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits, and exemptions relating to the development, construction, and sale of real property that each such Subsidiary is in the process of obtaining or intends to obtain in the ordinary course of business.

4.5 Financial Statements.

Borrower has furnished to Lenders that are parties to this Agreement on the Closing Date a copy of the Form 10-K of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period ended December 31, 2009, and a copy of the Form 10-Q of Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated as of September 30, 2010, (and with respect to the September 30, 2010 Form 10-Q the other information required by this Agreement was also furnished to Lenders). The financial statements and the notes thereto included in such Form 10-K and such Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the dates specified therein and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, all in conformity with GAAP.

4.6 No Material Adverse Change.

There has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Excluded Subsidiaries), taken as a whole, since the date of the most recently delivered financial statements, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Excluded Subsidiaries), taken as a whole, do not have any material liability incurred outside of the ordinary course of business or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, material contingent liability, not reflected or disclosed in the most recently delivered financial statements or notes thereto, or otherwise disclosed in Borrower’s Exchange Act filings or to Administrative Agent in writing.

4.7 Tax Liability.

Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed all material tax returns (federal, state, and local) required to be filed by them and have paid all material taxes shown thereon to be due and all property taxes due, including interest and penalties, if any. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, there does not exist any substantial likelihood that any Governmental Authority will successfully assert a tax deficiency against Borrower or any Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been adequately reserved against in the most recently delivered financial statements. Borrower and each Subsidiary have established and are maintaining adequate reserves for tax liabilities, if any, sufficient to comply with GAAP.

4.8 Litigation.

There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims, or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, before any governmental authority which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Pension Plan.

(a) Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor maintains or contributes to, or within the past six (6) years has maintained or contributed to, any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan;

(b) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.

(c) The Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates has met all applicable requirements under the ERISA Funding Rules with respect to each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the ERISA Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained; and

(d) As of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is at least 60%, and neither the Borrower not any of its ERISA Affiliates knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage to fall below 60% as of the most recent valuation date.

4.10 Regulations U and X; Investment Company Act.

Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the meanings of Regulation U of the FRB. No part of the Loans will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock (except for purchases of Borrower’s stock by, or on behalf of, Borrower otherwise permitted hereunder and that is subsequently retired or retained by Borrower as treasury stock), or to extend credit to others for that purpose, or for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations U or X of the FRB.

SECTION 9. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under the Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties.

Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with any Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems

appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default.

Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower 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 shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification.

The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against

any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though Administrative Agent were not an agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower. Additionally, if the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, then Administrative Agent may be removed by the Required Lenders or Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed as provided above as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or 8(f) with respect to Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall collectively assume and perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any removed Administrative Agent’s removal, or retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Lenders, Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities other than to a Competitor (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any

amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.16, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Eligible Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent, no such assignment to an Eligible Assignee (other than any Lender or any Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement. For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.6, the consent of Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, each other Loan Party, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Eligible Assignee.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Eligible Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 10.6(c), together with payment to Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.6 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender or such other Lender’s Revolving Percentage, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each of the other Lenders, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and appropriate and apply against the payment of Obligations owing to such Lender any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Borrower and Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW.

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to Borrower, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 10.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

10.13 Acknowledgements.

Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among Borrower and the Lenders.

10.14 Releases of Guarantee Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by Borrower having the effect of releasing any guarantee obligations to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1, provided that releases of Guarantors must comply with Section 6.9 unless otherwise consented to by the Lenders in accordance with Section 10.1.

10.15 Confidentiality.

Each of Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their affiliates agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any Lender Affiliate, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.15, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Hedging Obligations (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates who need to know such information to further the purpose of this Agreement, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
