The Requisite Lenders authorize (i) the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Lenders and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be required or appropriate in connection therewith, (ii) Bank of America to act as Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders and various other creditors under the Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) Bank of America to enter into collateral access agreements with General Electric Capital Corporation substantially in the form of Exhibits B-1 and B-2 to the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Current Appraised Values of the real properties encumbered by the Mortgages were not available to the Collateral Agent prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment and, accordingly, the Borrower hereby agrees as follows:

(a) With respect to any Mortgage recorded in the State of Alabama or Minnesota, to the extent enforcement of such Mortgage is limited to a debt amount that is less than the Current Appraised Value of the real property encumbered by such Mortgage, the Borrower agrees to enter into, or to cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into, an amendment to such Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary), to increase the enforcement amount of such Mortgage to an amount not less than 110% of the Current Appraised Value of such real property. Any such amendment to a Mortgage shall be in recordable form and shall be promptly recorded in the applicable county recorder's office where the applicable encumbered real property is located.

(b) With respect to any Title Insurance Policy issued in connection with any Mortgage for any real property for which a Current Appraised Value was obtained, if either (i) the liability amount of such Title Insurance Policy is less than the Current Appraised Value of the real property encumbered by such Mortgage or (ii) the liability amount of such Title Insurance Policy exceeds 110% of the Current Appraised Value, the Borrower will cause the applicable issuing title insurance company for such Title Insurance Policy to reissue such Title Insurance Policy (or otherwise supplement the existing Title Insurance Policy) in order to (x) include the amendment to Mortgage entered into in accordance with Section 10.28(a) as part of the insured Mortgage, (y) in the case of clause (i) above, increase the liability amount of such Title Insurance Policy to an amount not less than 110% of the Current Appraised Value of the applicable encumbered real property and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, decrease the liability amount of such Title Insurance Policy to an amount equal to 110% of the Current

Appraised Value of the applicable encumbered real property. Such reissued or supplemented Title Insurance Policy shall not reflect any exception to title other than as reflected in Schedule B of the originally issued Title Insurance Policy for such Mortgage.

(c) The Borrower will pay all costs and expenses (subject only to the limitation set forth in Section 9(m) of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to costs associated with appraisals of certain real property), including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the drafting, negotiation, closing and recording of the Mortgage amendments referred to above, as well as any additional mortgage taxes, recording costs and title insurance premiums incurred in connection with the foregoing.

6.7 Release; Covenant not to Xxx. In consideration of the agreements and understandings in this Amendment, the Borrower and (by their execution of the Consent to this Amendment) the Subsidiary Guarantors, for themselves and, to the extent that any of the following is claiming by, through, or otherwise on behalf of (including, without limitation, on any derivative basis) either the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, for their respective employees, officers, agents, executors, heirs, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, hereby release each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and its employees, officers, participants, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns from any claim, right or cause of action which now exists, in any way related to facts in existence as of the date hereof, whether known or unknown. By way of example and not limitation, the foregoing includes any claims in any way related to the Loan Documents and the business relationship with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby covenant that they will refrain from commencing any action or suit or prosecuting any action or suit, in law or in equity, against each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and its employees, officers, agents, participants, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns, on account of any claim, action or cause of action which now exists in the Borrower's or any Subsidiary Guarantor's favor based upon facts existing as of the date of this Agreement. In addition to the other liability which shall accrue upon the breach of this covenant, the breaching party shall be liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by such party in the defense of such action or suit.

The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor understand and have been advised by their legal counsel of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor understands and hereby waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and declares that it realizes that it may have damages it presently knows nothing about and that, as to it, such damages have been released pursuant to this Section 6.8. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor also declares that it understands that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders would not agree to enter into this Amendment if this Section 6.8 did not cover damages and their results which may not yet have manifested themselves or may be unknown to or not anticipated at the present by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor.
