(a) Commitment. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,

(i) to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date to be used for general corporate purposes of Borrower, including debt financing, property acquisitions, new construction, renovations, expansions, tenant improvement costs and equity investments (as and to the extent permitted herein) and for other purposes permitted by Borrower’s organizational documents, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Availability, and

(ii) to fund drawings on any Letters of Credit that the L/C Issuer issues for Borrower’s account from time to time, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such drawing. On the date that the L/C Issuer issues a Letter of Credit for Borrower’s account, each Lender shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the L/C Issuer a pro rata risk participation in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit.

(b) Letters of Credit. The L/C Issuer agrees to issue, amend or extend Letters of Credit in its standard form for the account of Borrower or any subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date, for any purpose for which Borrower can obtain Loans under this Agreement, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (or shall have an “evergreen” or other extension provision that results in a final expiry date) that is later than 30 days prior to the then-applicable Maturity Date.

(c) Letter of Credit Applications and Issuer Documents. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder (including any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension thereof) will be issued pursuant to the L/C Issuer’s standard form of Letter of Credit Application, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (as such form may be modified by PNC Bank from time to time), which will set forth the agreement between the account party and the L/C Issuer regarding the Letter of Credit and drawings thereunder. A copy of each such Letter of Credit Application submitted to the L/C Issuer shall be simultaneously delivered to the Administrative Agent. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent may reasonably require. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from Administrative Agent or Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower (or the applicable subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(e) Drawings Constituting Borrowings. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6.1, any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit shall, from and after the date on which such drawing is made, constitute a Borrowing for all purposes under this Agreement (including accrual and payment of interest and repayment of principal), other than disbursement of Loan proceeds under Section 2.6, and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.1. Reimbursement of drawings under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower’s subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate shall be the responsibility of, and shall create an obligation of, Borrower and any guarantor, including each Permitted Affiliate.

2.1.2 No Obligation to Issue Letters of Credit Under Certain Circumstances. The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(b) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any laws or one or more policies of the L/C Issuer; or

(c) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.6.1(b) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender including, without limitation, Borrower providing Cash Collateral in the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Letter of Credit.

Letters of Credit shall be issued only for drawing in United States dollars.

(f) all requirements of this Section 2.2 shall have been satisfied.

2.3 Procedure for Obtaining Credit (Loans and Letters of Credit). Each Borrowing shall be made and each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable written notice (including notice via facsimile confirmed immediately by a telephone call) of Borrower in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/ Continuation and, with respect to a Letter of Credit request, a Letter of Credit Application (which notice and, if applicable, Letter of Credit Application, must be received by Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m., (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested borrowing date, in the case of LIBOR Loans, or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested borrowing date, in the case of Reference Rate Loans, or (iii) five (5) Business Days prior to the requested issuance date of a Letter of Credit), specifying:

(a) the amount of the Borrowing or the Letter of Credit, which in the case of a Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than (i) $250,000 (or the remaining Availability, if less) for Reference Rate Borrowings, and (ii) $500,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof for any LIBOR Borrowings;

(b) the requested Borrowing or Letter of Credit issuance date, which shall be a Business Day;

If the Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for the Loans comprising a LIBOR Borrowing, such Interest Period shall be one month.

Unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, Borrower may not elect to have a Loan made as, or converted into or continued as, a LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit shall, from and after the date on which such drawing is made, constitute a Borrowing for all purposes under this Agreement (including accrual and payment of interest and repayment of principal) other than disbursement of Loan proceeds under this Section 2.3.

2.4 Loan Accounts; Revolving Notes.

2.4.1 Loan Accounts. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The loan accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive of the amounts of the Loans made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. In addition to the accounts and records referred to above, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.4.2 Revolving Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Note in the form of Exhibit H hereto, payable to the order of such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Maximum Commitment Amount on the Closing Date. Each Lender may endorse on any schedule annexed to its Revolving Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan that it makes (which shall not include undrawn amounts on outstanding Letters of Credit, but shall include the amounts of any drawings on outstanding Letters of Credit), and the amount of each payment of principal that Borrower makes with respect thereto. Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to endorse its Revolving Note(s), and such Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that any Lender’s failure to make, or its error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations to such Lender hereunder or under its Revolving Note(s).

2.5 Letters of Credit.

2.5.1 Letter of Credit Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.3 for the principal amount of Reference Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.5.1(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(b) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.5.1(a) make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, at Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5.1(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Reference Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer, an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.11.3. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.5.1(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.5.1.

(d) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.5.1 to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer, for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.5.1, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5.1 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(f) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5.1 by the time specified in Section 2.5.1(b), the L/C Issuer, shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.5.1(f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.5.2 Repayment of Participations.

(a) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.5.1, if Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(b) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.5.1(a) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.9 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer, in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

2.5.3 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer, for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower or any subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(d) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any insolvency or bankruptcy law; or

(e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate.

Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

2.5.4 Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption

is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 2.5.3. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5.3 or in this Section 2.5.4, Borrower or any subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate for whose benefit a Letter of Credit was issued may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower or such subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower or such subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate which Borrower or such subsidiary, Joint Venture or Permitted Affiliate proves were caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the L/C Issuer or the willful failure of the L/C Issuer to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.

2.5.5 Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (a) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (b) if, as of the Letter of Credit expiration date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus the aggregate of all Unreimbursed Amounts (determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit expiration date, as the case may be). Sections 2.8.2(a) and 8.2 .3 set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Administrative Agent.

2.6 Conversion and Continuation Elections of Loans.

2.6.1 Election to Convert and Renew. Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.6.2:

(a) elect to convert, on any Business Day, any Reference Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $500,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Loans;

(b) elect to convert on the last day of any Interest Period any LIBOR Loans maturing on such date (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $250,000) into Reference Rate Loans; or

(c) elect to renew on the last day of any Interest Period (for a new Interest Period that commences immediately upon the expiration of such existing Interest Period) any LIBOR Loans maturing on such date (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $500,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof);

provided, that if the aggregate amount of LIBOR Loans in respect of any Borrowing shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment or conversion of part thereof, to less than $500,000, such LIBOR Loans shall automatically convert into Reference Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right of Borrower to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall terminate.

2.6.2 Notice of Conversion/Continuation. Borrower shall deliver in writing (including via facsimile confirmed immediately by a telephone call) a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation (which notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the conversion date or continuation date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, or (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the conversion date, if the Loans are to be converted into Reference Rate Loans) specifying:

(a) the proposed conversion date or continuation date;

(b) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

(d) if Borrower elects to convert a Reference Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or elects to continue a LIBOR Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan. If the Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, such Interest Period shall be one (1) month.

2.6.3 Failure to Select a New Interest Period. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Loans Borrower has failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a new Interest Period of one (1) month effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period or if any Default or Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert LIBOR Loans into Reference Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.6.4 Number of Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after giving effect to any conversion or continuation of any Loans, there shall not be more than six (6) different Interest Periods in effect for the Loans.

2.7 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitment. Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, terminate the Lenders’ Commitment to make Loans to Borrower or issue Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account, or permanently reduce the Maximum Commitment Amount by a minimum amount of $5,000,000, unless, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (i) the Outstanding Amount

of the Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations would exceed the Availability. Once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.7, the Maximum Commitment Amount may not be increased. Any reduction of the Commitment amounts shall be applied to each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. No commitment or extension fees paid prior to the effective date of any reduction of the Maximum Commitment Amount or termination of the Lenders’ commitment(s) to make Loans to Borrower or issue Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account shall be refunded, and all accrued Facility Fee for the period up to but not including the effective date of any reduction or termination of the Commitments shall be payable on the effective date of such reduction or termination.

2.8 Principal Payments.

2.8.1 Optional Prepayments of the Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4, Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to Administrative Agent with respect to any Reference Rate Loan, or upon at least three Business Day’s prior written notice to Administrative Agent with respect to any LIBOR Loan, ratably prepay Loans in full or in part in an amount not less than $250,000 for Reference Rate Loans (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Reference Rate Loans) or $500,000 for LIBOR Loans. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If Borrower gives a prepayment notice to Administrative Agent, such notice is irrevocable and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans, and all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.4.

2.8.2 Mandatory Repayments.

(a) Availability Limit. Should the Outstanding Amount of Loans plus the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations at any time exceed the Availability, Borrower shall immediately repay such excess to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders and/or deliver to Administrative Agent Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.5.5 hereof, in the amount of the excess of the outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit over the Availability.

(b) Application of Repayments. Any repayments pursuant to this Section 2.8.2 shall be (i) subject to Section 3.4, and (ii) applied first, to any Reference Rate Loans then outstanding and second, to the LIBOR Loans (in order of the shortest Interest Periods remaining).

2.8.3 Repayment at Maturity. Borrower shall repay the principal amount of all outstanding Loans on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, upon termination of the Lenders’ Commitments pursuant to Section 2.7.

2.9 Extension of Original Maturity Date. Upon Borrower’s written request, delivered to Administrative Agent at least ninety (90) days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Original Maturity Date, Borrower shall have the right to extend the Original Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date, provided that:

(a) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured on the Original Maturity Date, and Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower;

(b) The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be correct as of the Original Maturity Date as though made on and as of that date, and Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower;

(c) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) equal to fifteen (15) basis points multiplied by the Maximum Commitment Amount on the Original Maturity Date. The Extension Fee shall be determined as of the date Borrower provides the extension notice for the Extension Period and shall be paid by Borrower on the first day of the Extension Period; and

(d) Borrower shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered to Administrative Agent such documents as Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be necessary to evidence the extension of the Original Maturity Date.

2.10 Interest.

2.10.1 Accrual Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10.3, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made (which, in the case of a drawing on a Letter of Credit, is the date of such drawing) until it becomes due at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to a LIBOR Loan, the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin, and (B) with respect to a Reference Rate Loan, the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Reference Rate Margin.

2.10.2 Payment. Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be payable on the date of any repayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 for the portion of the Loans so repaid and upon payment (including prepayment) of the Loans in full. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall also be payable on demand.

2.10.3 Default Interest. Commencing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and continuing thereafter while such Event of Default remains uncured, or after maturity or acceleration (unless and until such acceleration is rescinded), Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Obligations due and unpaid, at a rate per annum determined by adding 400 basis points to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Loans and, in the case of Obligations not subject to an Applicable Margin, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus 400 basis points; provided, however, that on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, the principal amount of such Loan shall, during the continuation of such Event of Default, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus 400 basis points in excess of the Applicable Reference Rate Margin then in effect.

2.10.4 Maximum Legal Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

2.11 Fees.

2.11.1 Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for the period from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Commitments of all the Lenders shall have been terminated) equal to the average daily amount of the Commitments of all the Lenders then in effect which was unused (through the extension of Loans) during the immediately preceding calendar quarter multiplied by the Applicable Unused Fee. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears, within ten days following the last day of each March, June, September, and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and continuing through the Maturity Date or upon such earlier date as all the Commitments shall have been terminated. Any Unused Commitment Fee for less than a full quarter shall be pro-rated for any period according to the number of days this Agreement was in effect during such period.

2.11.2 Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each issued and outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.2.4. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on (a) each January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, and (b) the Maturity Date (with such final payment of the Letter of Credit Fee pro rated to the Maturity Date). Borrower shall also pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the L/C Issuer, at the time each Letter of Credit is issued, a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) in an amount equal to twenty five (25) basis points multiplied by the amount of such Letter of Credit. In addition, Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the other customary administrative, issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

2.11.3 Other Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account, for the account of the L/C Issuer or for the account of the Lenders, as applicable, such other fees as are required by the engagement letter and/or fee letter agreement, dated prior to or as of the Closing Date (the “Fee Letter”) between Borrower and Administrative Agent.

2.12 Computation of Fees and Interest. All computations of interest and fees under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Reference Rate or the applicable reserve requirement, deposit insurance assessment rate or other regulatory cost shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Reference Rate or such reserve requirement, assessment rate or other regulatory cost becomes effective. 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.

2.13 Payments by Borrower.

2.13.1 Timing of Payments. All payments (including prepayments) made by Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim. All such payments shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at Administrative Agent’s Payment Office, in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Administrative Agent later than 12:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event, not later than two Business Days after Administrative Agent’s actual receipt) distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received; provided, however, if and to the extent Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of Lenders on or before 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day and Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) on such Business Day, the distribution to each Lender when made shall include, at no additional cost to Borrower, interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date of Administrative Agent’s actual receipt of such payment from Borrower until the date Administrative Agent distributes to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein).

2.13.2 Non-Business Days. Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of the term “Interest Period.” whenever any payment hereunder is stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

2.13.3 Payment May be Made by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment. Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such

payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13.3 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.14 Payments by the Lenders to Administrative Agent.

2.14.1 Administrative Agent May Make Borrowings Available. With respect to any Borrowing, unless Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent, for the account of Borrower, the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing as and when required hereunder, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing date and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Reference Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.14.1 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.14.2 Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.4(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.4(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.4(c).

2.14.3 Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in Article 5 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

2.14.4 Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

2.16 Defaulting Lender.

2.16.1 Notice and Cure of Lender Default; Election Period; Electing Lenders. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (such notice being referred to as the “Defaulting Lender Notice”) Borrower and each non-Defaulting Lender if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender. Each non-Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but in no event or under any circumstance the obligation, to fund any amount that a Defaulting Lender fails to fund (the “Defaulting Lender Amount”), provided that, within 20 days after the date of the Defaulting Lender Notice (the “Election Period”), such non-Defaulting Lender or Lenders (each such Lender, an “Electing Lender”) irrevocably commit(s) by notice in writing (an “Election Notice”) to Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and Borrower to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount. If Administrative Agent receives more than one Election Notice within the Election Period, then the commitment to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount shall be apportioned pro rata among the Electing Lenders in the proportion that the amount of each such Electing Lender’s Commitment

bears to the total Commitments of all Electing Lenders. If the Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Defaulting Lender Amount within the Election Period, (a) the Electing Lender or Lenders, as applicable, shall be automatically obligated to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount (and Defaulting Lender shall no longer be entitled to fund such Defaulting Lender Amount) within three Business Days after such notice to Administrative Agent, which Defaulting Lender Amount shall be applied towards reimbursement to Administrative Agent or payment to Borrower as applicable, and (b) Borrower may enforce any rights it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, against Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Administrative Agent has funded the Defaulting Lender Amount. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Electing Lenders for its portion of the Defaulting Lender Amount.

2.16.2 Removal of Rights: Indemnity. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by or on behalf of Borrower to Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder or under any Revolving Note until all Defaulting Lender Amounts are paid in full. Administrative Agent shall hold all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall be paid by Administrative Agent to reimburse Administrative Agent and any Electing Lender pro rata for all Defaulting Lender Amounts funded by such Persons. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by Lenders hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents. This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement by curing such default by payment of all Defaulting Lender Amounts (a) within the Election Period, or (b) after the Election Period with the consent of the non-Defaulting Lenders. Such Defaulting Lender nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Defaulting Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender and prior to such cure or waiver. The operation of this Section or the Section above alone shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any non-Defaulting Lender, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section shall release or in any way limit a Defaulting Lender’s obligations as a Lender hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents. Further, a Defaulting Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each of the non-Defaulting Lenders from any claim, loss, or costs incurred by Administrative Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders as a result of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, including any and all additional losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent and any non-Defaulting Lender as a result of and/or in connection with (i) a non-Defaulting Lender’s acting as an Electing Lender, (ii) any enforcement action brought by Administrative Agent against a Defaulting Lender, and (iii) any action brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders. The indemnification provided above shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

2.16.3 Commitment Adjustments. In connection with the adjustment of the amounts of the Commitments of the Defaulting Lender and Electing Lender(s) upon the expiration of the Election Period described above, Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be necessary or desirable in connection with the adjustment of the amounts of Commitments in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. For the purpose of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents such modifications shall also reflect the removal of voting rights of the Defaulting Lender and increase in voting rights of Electing Lenders to the extent an Electing Lender has funded the Defaulting Lender Amount. In connection with such adjustments, each Defaulting Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption covering that Lender’s Commitment and otherwise comply with Section 10.5. If a Lender refuses to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption or otherwise comply with Section 10.5, such Lender hereby appoints Administrative Agent to do so on such Lender’s behalf. Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended schedule of Lenders, which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect such adjustments. However, all such Defaulting Lender Amounts funded by Administrative Agent or Electing Lenders shall continue to be Defaulting Lender Amounts of the Defaulting Lender pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement.

2.16.4 No Election. In the event that no Lender elects to commit to fund a Defaulting Lender Amount within the applicable Election Period, Administrative Agent shall, upon the expiration of such Election Period, so notify Borrower and each Lender.

3. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY.

3.1 Taxes.

3.1.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1) Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

3.1.2 Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.1.1 above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

3.1.3 Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative

Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, that are actually imposed, incurred or paid, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.1.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

3.1.5 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

3.1.6 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has

paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

3.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Base Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent (a “LIBOR Suspension Notice”), any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Reference Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such LIBOR Suspension Notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), repay, prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Reference Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Delivery of a LIBOR Suspension Notice shall not affect the obligation of any other Lender to make, maintain and fund LIBOR Loans under the terms of this Agreement, unless such other Lender also delivers a LIBOR Suspension Notice under this Section 3.2.

3.3 Increased Costs.

3.3.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the L/C Issuer; (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.1 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or (iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such

Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.3.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

3.3.3 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.4 Funding Losses. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, from time to time, for the account of the Lenders, any amount that would be necessary to reimburse the Lenders for, and to hold the Lenders harmless from, any loss or expense which the Lenders may reasonably sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of Borrower to make any required payment or prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);

(b) the failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation;

(d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.8.2) of a LIBOR Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto;

(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 2.6 of any LIBOR Loan to a Reference Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the respective Interest Period; or

(f) any assignment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained to maintain the LIBOR Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, under this Section 3.4, each LIBOR Loan (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the rate of interest used to determine such LIBOR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan is in fact so funded.

3.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or (c) the LIBOR Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.6 Certificate of Lender. Any Lender or the L/C Issuer if claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article 3, shall deliver to Borrower through Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, or its holding company, as the case may be, hereunder, and such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

3.7 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.3, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.2, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.3, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.2, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.3, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.8 Survival. The agreements and obligations of Borrower in this Article 3 shall survive the payment and performance of all other Obligations.

4. UNENCUMBERED ASSET POOL.

4.1 Additions of Property to the Unencumbered Asset Pool.

(a) In addition to the real property described in Exhibits A attached hereto, Borrower may from time to time request that Administrative Agent add a new property (a “Nominated Property”) to the Unencumbered Asset Pool. To become an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property, a Nominated Property must satisfy each of the following conditions:

(1) Borrower or a Permitted Affiliate shall hold fee simple title to such Nominated Property (or, subject to Section 6.6(b), such Nominated Property is subject to a financeable ground lease (as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion)) and such Nominated Party shall be located in the continental United States;

(2) Such Nominated Property is operated as an income-producing retail project;

(3) Such Nominated Property shall have minimum occupancy of 80% (or if less than 80% occupied, then such Nominated Property, together with all other Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties with a then minimum occupancy rate of less than 80%, shall comprise less than 15% of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value);

(4) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a copy of a Phase I environmental site assessment for such Nominated Property, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and prepared within one year of its delivery, and

such environmental site assessment (i) shall not disclose the presence of any material toxic or Hazardous Substances on the Nominated Property (other than asbestos or asbestos containing materials (“ACM”) or Hazardous Substances used for cleaning, pool and other chemicals typically located on retail properties that are otherwise consistent with all applicable Laws); and (ii) if such environmental site assessment discloses the presence of asbestos or ACM on the Nominated Property, all such asbestos or ACM shall be in a condition reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, shall be subject to an O&M Plan reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and Borrower or a Permitted Affiliate, as applicable, shall be performing its obligations under such O&M Plan in a manner reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Phase I environmental site assessment for such Nominated Property is not available, a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifying to the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) may be delivered to Administrative Agent in lieu of such Phase I environmental site assessment;

(5) Such Nominated Property shall be free of all liens, encumbrances and negative pledges, except for the following permitted liens (“Permitted Liens”): (i) liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies to the extent that the amount secured thereby is not yet delinquent; and (ii) liens imposed by law, such as carrier’s, warehouseman’s, mechanic’s, materialman’s and other similar liens, arising in the ordinary course of business in respect of obligations that are not overdue or are being actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and in compliance with Section 6.14(c) hereof, as long as Borrower or a Permitted Affiliate, as applicable, has established and maintained adequate reserves for the payment of the same and, by reason of nonpayment, no property of Borrower or a Permitted Affiliate, as applicable, is in danger of being lost or forfeited; and (iii) easements; zoning restrictions, covenants, conditions and restrictions; reciprocal easement and access agreements and similar agreements relating to ownership and operation; and

(6) The portion of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value attributable to such Nominated Property shall not exceed thirty percent (30%).

Nominated Properties that satisfy all of the foregoing conditions, subject to Section 4.2, will become Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties at the sole and absolute discretion of the Required Lenders.

(b) Borrower may, at its option, elect to remove an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property from the Unencumbered Asset Pool, from time to time, including when such property is sold, disposed of, or no longer meets the qualifications of an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property. When (i) an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property is removed from the Unencumbered Asset Pool and Borrower continues to own the property, on or before the removal of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Property from the Unencumbered Asset Pool, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a written notice, setting forth the identity of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Property to be removed and the requested date of removal; and (ii) an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property is removed from the Unencumbered Asset Pool and Borrower no longer has ownership of the property, within five Business Days after such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property is sold or disposed of, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a written notice, setting forth the identity of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Property that has been removed and the date of removal (which date shall be deemed to be the date that Borrower no longer had

ownership of such property). Pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), with such notice, Borrower shall also deliver a compliance certificate, substantially similar to the form of Exhibit D (a “Compliance Certificate”), signed and certified by an authorized financial officer of Borrower (A) setting forth the information and computations (in sufficient detail) to determine the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value after such removal; (B) provided from information based upon the most recently delivered financial statements under Section 6.3 hereof, establishing that, on a pro-forma basis as if such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property had been removed from the Unencumbered Asset Pool before the end of the reporting period under such financial statements, Borrower would be in compliance with all financial covenants set forth in this Agreement following such removal as of the date of such financial statements; (C) stating specifically that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Loans plus the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations after such removal will be less than or equal to the Availability; and (D) setting forth whether there exists or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge as of the date of such removal there will exist, any Default or Event of Default and, if any such Default or Event of Default exists, specifying the nature thereof and the action Borrower is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto. At the time of any such removal, Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including fees for in-house counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with removing the property from the Unencumbered Asset Pool and shall make any payments to continue compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including those relating to the requirement that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Loans plus the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not exceed the Availability, necessary as a result of the requested removal. So long as the foregoing conditions are fully satisfied, the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required in connection with any such removal of an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property from the Unencumbered Asset Pool.

(c) If the Unencumbered Asset Pool as a whole fails to meet any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1(a) and any one of two or more properties might be removed to maintain compliance of the Unencumbered Asset Pool as a whole with the such conditions, then Borrower shall select the property or properties to be removed, provided that if Borrower does not do so within ten days of written request to do so from Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion select the property or properties to remove and so remove them. At the time of any such removal, Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including fees for in-house counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with removing the property from the Unencumbered Asset Pool, and shall make any payments to continue compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to those relating to the requirement that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Loans plus the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not exceed the Availability, necessary as a result of such removal.

4.2 Delivery of Information. In connection with each request to add a Nominated Property to the Unencumbered Asset Pool, Borrower will submit to Administrative Agent all of the following information and documentation:

(a) a current Phase I environmental site assessment for such Nominated Property addressed to Borrower or a Permitted Affiliate, if requested by Administrative Agent;

(b) a title insurance policy insuring Borrower’s or a Permitted Affiliate’s fee title to (or financeable leasehold in) such Nominated Property free of any Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and the most recent title report which Borrower possesses with respect to such Nominated Property;

(d) an operating statement for such Nominated Property (which shall include a detailed analysis of the net operating income generated from such property, including gross rental receipts, detailed operating expenses, capital expenditures and other relevant information) for the four most recent consecutive calendar quarters for which Borrower has operating information (or, if operating information for fewer than four consecutive calendar quarters is available to Borrower, an operating statement for such Nominated Property for the number of the most recent consecutive calendar quarters for which Borrower has operating information);

(e) if such Nominated Property is owned by a Permitted Affiliate, a Payment Guaranty, executed by such Permitted Affiliate, together with all of the items described in Sections 5.1.1(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) with respect to such Permitted Affiliate;

(f) a certification signed by a Responsible Officer that no material structural defects and no material environmental condition or contamination (including, but not limited to, with respect to any Hazardous Substances) exist with respect to the Nominated Property; and

(g) any other information, documentation or other items relating to the Nominated Property that Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no property owned by any subsidiary of Borrower shall be counted as an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property unless such property is nominated as a Nominated Property pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 and the subsidiary becomes a “Permitted Affiliate” hereunder by executing the Payment Guaranty and delivering the other documents described in Section 4.2(e) hereof.

6.1 Specific Affirmative Covenants.

6.1.1 Compliance with Law. Borrower and each Permitted Affiliate, as applicable, shall comply in all material respects with all existing and future laws (including Environmental Laws), regulations, orders, building restrictions and requirements of, and all agreements with and commitments to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over Borrower or Borrower’s business or such Permitted Affiliate or such Permitted Affiliate’s business, as applicable, including those pertaining to the construction, sale, leasing or financing of any Unencumbered Asset Pool Property or the environmental condition of any Unencumbered Asset Pool Property, and with all recorded covenants and restrictions affecting any Unencumbered Asset Pool Property (all collectively, the “Requirements”). Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Section, (i) Borrower and each applicable Permitted Affiliate shall

have a right to contest all existing and future Requirements of Law (other than those relating to Environmental Laws) before complying therewith, and (ii) Borrower and each Permitted Affiliate shall have a right to contest all existing and future Requirements relating to Environmental Laws for one year, before complying therewith, provide that no Unencumbered Asset Pool Property is in danger of being lost or forfeited.

6.1.2 Site Visits. Borrower and each Permitted Affiliate shall allow Administrative Agent and Lenders access to each Unencumbered Asset Pool Property at any reasonable time upon reasonable written notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower (a) for the purpose of inspecting the Unencumbered Asset Pool Property, and (b) upon reasonable belief by Administrative Agent or Lenders of the existence of a matter that should be investigated, for the purpose of taking soil or groundwater samples and conducting tests, among other things, to investigate for the presence of Hazardous Substances. Borrower and each Permitted Affiliate shall also allow Administrative Agent to examine, copy and review its and their books and records. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is under any duty to visit or observe any Unencumbered Asset Pool Property, and Administrative Agent is under no duty to examine any books or records. Any site visit, observation or examination by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be solely for the purpose of protecting Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s interests and preserving Administrative Agent’s rights under the Loan Documents. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender owes a duty of care to protect Borrower, any Permitted Affiliate, or any other Person against, or to inform Borrower, any Permitted Affiliate, or any other Person of, any adverse condition affecting any Unencumbered Asset Pool Property, including any defects in the design or construction of any improvements located on an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property or the presence of any Hazardous Substances on an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property.

6.1.3 Insurance. Borrower and each Permitted Affiliate, as applicable, shall maintain the following insurance:

(a) Special Form property damage insurance in non-reporting form on each of its Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties, with a policy limit in an amount not less than the full insurable value of the improvements located on such property on a replacement cost basis, including tenant improvements, if any, with a deductible amount, if any, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, which insurance shall cover such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses. The policy shall include a business interruption (or rent loss, if more appropriate) endorsement which will provide coverage for rent and extra expenses for twelve (12) months, and any other endorsements reasonably required by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, earthquake insurance with respect to any Unencumbered Asset Pool Property shall not be required unless (i) institutional lenders generally require earthquake insurance for similar types of retail real property in the geographic location where such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property is located, and (ii) such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable rates.

(b) Comprehensive General Liability coverage with such limits as Administrative Agent may reasonably require. This policy shall name Administrative Agent as an additional insured. Coverage shall be written on an occurrence basis, not claims made, and shall cover liability for personal injury, death, bodily injury and damage to property, products and completed operations.

9. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

9.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints PNC Bank to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

9.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

9.3.1 Limitation of Administrative Agent’s Duties. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

9.3.2 Limitation of Administrative Agent’s Liability. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.2 and 9.1), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

9.3.3 Limitation of Administrative Agent’s Responsibilities. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or L/C Issuer for, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire for the benefit of any Lender or L/C Issuer into, (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability to any Lender or L/C Issuer for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person; provided,

however, that notwithstanding any such notice, request or other direction to the contrary, in all events Administrative Agent shall direct that the proceeds of a Borrowing be deposited in the account of Borrower, as determined by Borrower in its sole discretion, designated to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date (the “Designated Borrower’s Account”). Subject to the foregoing sentence, Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.5 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

9.6.1 Notice of Resignation. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States; provided that as long as no Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to consent to such successor, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that as long as no Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to consent to such successor, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld; provided further that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this

Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

9.6.2 Resignation by PNC Bank. Any resignation by PNC Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.8 No Duties, Etc. The Arranger assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent for the Lenders. The titles “Sole Lead Arranger” and “Sole Book Manager” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary or other responsibility on the part of the Arranger to the Administrative Agent, any Loan Party or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Arranger any duties or obligations or entitle the Arranger to any rights hereunder except as specifically herein provided.

9.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or any Permitted Affiliate, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall

then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11, 6.2 and 10.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11, 6.2 and 10.4. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

9.10 Release of Permitted Affiliate from Payment Guaranty. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, to release any Permitted Affiliate from its obligations under its Payment Guaranty if such Person ceases to be an owner of an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Permitted Affiliate from its obligations under its Payment Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrower or any Permitted Affiliate therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and, in the case of an amendment, by Borrower or, if required, a Permitted Affiliate, and acknowledged by Administrative Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment or consent shall:

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iii) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

(f) Communication with Lenders. All communications from Administrative Agent to the Lenders requesting the Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or time as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, and (c) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request from Administrative Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination of the Required Lenders (and each nonresponding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action) or all the Lenders, as the case may be.

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

10.4 Costs and Expenses; Indemnity; Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 10.4(a) or (b) to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of

the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.4(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14.2.

(e) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

10.5 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.5(f). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.5(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignment by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this clause (a), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it; provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent

assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 1.4, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (b) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, and 10.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Revolving Note to the assignee Lender and, in such event, the assigning Lender shall return the original Revolving Note for cancellation and, if the assignment is for a portion of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, replacement by a new Revolving Note issued by Borrower and evidencing the assigning Lender’s reduced Commitment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, assignment of the obligations of the L/C Issuer after the resignation of PNC Bank as L/C Issuer, or any other successor thereafter acting as L/C Issuer, shall be governed by Section 10.5(h) hereof.

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of Borrower and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, each Permitted Affiliate, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a)-(g) of Section 10.1 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, and 10.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section.

(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.3 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Sections 3.1.5 and 3.3.3 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Revolving Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time PNC Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to clause (a) above, PNC Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to Borrower and the Lenders,

resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder and, if such designated appointee agrees to act as successor L/C Issuer hereunder, Lenders hereby agree to accept such appointment; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of PNC Bank as L/C Issuer. In addition, if PNC Bank fails to issue a Letter of Credit under Section 2.1.2(b) hereof because the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any of its policies. PNC Bank will, upon the request of Borrower, resign as L/C Issuer hereunder and Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder and, if such designated appointee agrees to act as successor L/C Issuer hereunder, Lenders hereby agree to accept such appointment; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of PNC Bank as L/C Issuer. If PNC Bank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Reference Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.5.1). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to PNC Bank to effectively assume the obligations of PNC Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.6 Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any subsidiary thereof relating to Borrower or any subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any

subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Borrower or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

10.7 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and the L/C Issuer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or the L/C Issuer to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and the L/C Issuer under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties signing this Agreement and their successors and assigns. No trust is created by this Agreement and no other persons or entities shall have any right of action under this Agreement or any right to the Loan funds.

10.9 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or any Permitted Affiliate is made to Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest

thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any credit extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.3, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.5), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.5(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.4) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW RULE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA TO THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. BORROWER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA SITTING IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH PENNSYLVANIA STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. BORROWER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.2(a). NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

10.17 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.
