-32-
Loan Documents respecting payments to Agent or Co-Lenders as among themselves or the required number of Co-Lenders to approve or disapprove any matter or to take or refrain from taking any action, without the consent of Borrower or any other person or the execution by Borrower or any other person.

No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities to Co-Lenders shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or shall otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in
-33-
the other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable legal requirement.

(f) Reliance by Agent. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Co-Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Co-Lenders. In the absence of written instructions from the Required Co-Lenders, Agent may take or not take any action, at its discretion.
(g) Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, unless Agent shall have gained actual knowledge in its capacity as a Co-Lender or shall have received written notice from a Co-Lender or from Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default that Agent determines will have a material adverse effect. Agent will notify Co-Lenders promptly of its receipt of any such notice.

Each Co-Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantor.
(ii) To the extent not already available to a Co-Lender, Agent shall also provide the Co-Lender and/or make available for the Co-Lender’s inspection during reasonable business hours and at the Co-Lender’s expense, upon the Co-Lender’s written request therefor: (A) copies of the Loan Documents; (B) such information as is then in Agent’s possession in respect of the current status of principal and interest payments and accruals in respect of the Loan; (C) copies of all current Financial Statements in respect of Borrower, or any Guarantor or other person liable for payment or performance by Borrower of any obligations under the Loan Documents, then in Agent’s possession with respect to the Loan; and (D) other current factual information then in Agent’s possession with respect to the Loan and bearing on the continuing creditworthiness of Borrower, or any Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that nothing contained in this Clause (h) shall Impose any liability upon Agent for its failure to provide a Co-Lender any of such Loan Documents, information, or Financial Statements, unless such failure constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence on Agent’s part; and provided, further, that Agent shall not be obligated to provide any Co-Lender with any information in violation of applicable law or any contractual restrictions on the disclosure thereof (provided such contractual restrictions shall not apply to distributing to a Co-Lender factual and financial information expressly required to be provided herein).

Bank, in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any party to the Loan Documents and their respective Affiliates as though Bank were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of Co-Lenders.

(j) Successor Agent. Agent may, and at the request of the Required Co-Lenders as a result of (a) Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties under this Agreement, (b) appointment of a receiver for Agent, or (c) in the event of regulatory measures taken against Agent which limit or materially affects its day-to-day operations, shall, resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to Co-Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Co-Lenders shall appoint from among Co-Lenders a successor Agent for Co-Lenders. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Co-Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder.
(k) Releases: Acquisition and Transfers of Property.
(i) Co-Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to transfer or release any lien or to transfer or sell, any Loan collateral (A) upon the termination of the Maximum Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of the Loan, and (B) after foreclosure or other acquisition of title, for a purchase price of 90% of the value indicated in the most recent Appraisal of the collateral obtained by Agent.
(ii) If all or any portion of the Property is acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Agent shall take title to the Property in its name or by an Affiliate of Agent, but for the benefit of all Co-Lenders in their Ratable Shares on the date of the foreclosure sale or recordation of the deed in lieu of foreclosure (the “Acquisition Date”). Agent and all Co-Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any Property so acquired. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to take any action in connection with the Loan collateral (including those with respect to property taxes, insurance premiums, completion of construction, operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition), or any portion thereof.

The payments collected shall be credited against the amounts due under the Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Remittances by Agent to each Co-Lender shall be made, at Agent’s option, (a) by wire transfer to such Co-Lender’s account at a bank specified in a notice given to Agent by such Co-Lender, (b) by automated clearinghouse (“ACH”) credit against an account of such Co-Lender, or (c) as otherwise mutually agreed by Agent and such Co-Lender. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to deliver all payments to the Co-Lenders

within two (2) Business Days, but in no event later than the fourth (4th) Business Day, after receipt of payments due from Borrower under the Loan Documents. If any payment received by Agent is later cancelled, nullified or reversed, each Lender shall refund to Agent, upon notice of such cancellation, nullification or reversal its pro rata share of such payment. Agent’s obligation to remit is only as to funds actually and unconditionally received and cleared, and the funds remitted to a Co-Lender shall be net of the following, if and only to the extent owing from such Co-Lender as of the date Agent delivers the applicable payment to such Co-Lender: (i) all amounts owed to Agent by such Co-Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) all expenses due and owing Agent.
