If and to the extent Borrower does not make the full payment due to Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent on demand the amount distributed to that Lender by Administrative Agent together with interest for each day from the date that Lender received payment from Administrative Agent until the date that Lender repays Administrative Agent (unless such repayment is made on the same day as such distribution), at an annual interest rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 3.2 PAYMENTS OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PRIOR TO TERMINATION DATE. (a) Interest Payments. Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Note Balance at the applicable rate set forth in SECTION 3.4, below. Accrued interest on each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and each Base Rate Borrowing is due and payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing March 31, 2005, and ending on the Termination Date. (b) Principal Payments. Borrower shall make the following payments to Administrative Agent: (i) on each of the first and second Anniversary Dates, an amount equal to $1,529,500 and (ii) on the Termination Date, the Outstanding Note Balance. 3.3 PREPAYMENTS.

Conversions under SECTION 3.11 are not prepayments. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the amount to be prepaid and shall constitute a binding obligation of Borrower to make a prepayment on the date stated therein, together with (unless such prepayment is made Senior Secured Term Loan 14 with respect to a Base Rate Borrowing) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such payment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid. (ii) Application of Voluntary Prepayment. If no Default or Potential Default then exists or arises as a result therefrom, any voluntary prepayments of the Obligation shall be allocated Pro Rata to each Lender. (b) Prepayments; Interest/Consequential Loss. All prepayments under this SECTION 3.3 shall be made, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, together with any Consequential Loss arising as a result thereof. 3.4 INTEREST OPTIONS. Except as set forth in SECTIONS 4.2(A) and 4.3 herein, the Outstanding Note Balance shall bear interest at the Applicable Eurodollar Rate, as adjusted every ninety (90) days, provided however, that the Applicable Base Rate shall apply when a Default exists. Each change in the Base Rate, subject to the terms of this Agreement, will become effective, without notice to Borrower or any other person, upon the effective date of such change. 3.5 DEFAULT RATE. At the option of Required Lenders and to the extent permitted by Law, all past-due principal payments and past due interest accruing on any of the Obligation shall bear interest from maturity (stated or by acceleration) or the date due, as applicable, at the Default Rate until paid; provided that, the Default Rate shall automatically apply in the case of SECTION 11.4 where the Default Rate is specified. 3.6 INTEREST RECAPTURE. If the designated rate applicable to the Outstanding Note Balance exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest on such Outstanding Note Balance shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in such designated rate shall not reduce the rate of interest thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued thereon equals the amount of interest which would have accrued thereon if such designated rate had at all times been in effect. In the event that at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount , the total amount of interest paid or accrued is less than the amount of interest which would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect, then, at such time and to the extent permitted by Law, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest which would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect and the amount of interest which would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount . 3.7 INTEREST CALCULATIONS. Interest will be calculated on the basis of actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days (unless the calculation would result in an interest rate greater than the Maximum Rate, in which event interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). All interest rate determinations and calculations by Administrative Agent are conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 3.8 MAXIMUM RATE. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan Document, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall ever be entitled to contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive, or apply, as interest on all or any part of the Obligation, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, if Lenders ever do so, then such excess shall be deemed a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) treat all Borrowings as but a single extension of credit (and Lenders Senior Secured Term Loan 15 and Borrower agree that such is the case), (b) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and any Termination Fee payable as a result thereof, and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligation. However, if the Obligation is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Amount, Lenders shall refund such excess, and, in such event, Lenders shall not, to the extent permitted by Law, be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Amount. 3.9 INTEREST PERIODS. The interest period applicable to Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be ninety (90) days (each an "INTEREST PERIOD"); provided, however, that: (a) the initial Interest Period shall commence on the date hereof and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of the Outstanding Note Balance shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; and (b) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period. 3.10 CONVERSION TO BASE RATE BORROWING. No Eurodollar Rate Borrowing may be made or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, and no Base Rate Borrowing may be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, if the interest rate for such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing would exceed the Maximum Rate. The right to continue as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall not be available during the occurrence of a Default. 3.11 ORDER OF APPLICATION. Any payment or prepayment (including proceeds from the exercise of any Rights) shall be applied to the Obligation in the following order: (i) to the ratable payment of all fees, expenses, and indemnities for which Administrative Agent or Lenders have not been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Loan Documents (as used in this SECTION 3.11, a "ratable payment" for any Lender or Administrative Agent shall be, on any date of determination, that proportion which the portion of the total fees, expenses, and indemnities owed to such Lender or Administrative Agent bears to the total aggregate fees and indemnities owed to all Lenders and Administrative Agent on such date of determination); (ii) to the ratable payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount (as used in this SECTION 3.11), "ratable payment" means, for any Lender, on any date of determination, that proportion which the accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Secured Discount Note owed to such Lender bears to the total accrued and unpaid interest on the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount owed to all Lenders); (iii) to the ratable payment of the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount (as used in this SECTION 3.11, "ratable payment" means, for any Lender, on any date of determination, that proportion which the Senior Secured Discount Note Amount owed to such Lender bears to the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount owed to all Lenders); and (iv) to the payment of the remaining Obligation in the order and manner Required Lenders deem appropriate. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 12 and provided that Administrative Agent shall not in any event be bound to inquire into or to determine the validity, scope, or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments or seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Required Lenders or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to each Lender in accordance with the Agreement and the related Loan Documents. Senior Secured Term Loan 16 3.12 SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or prepayment with respect to the Obligation (whether voluntary, involuntary, or otherwise, including, without limitation, as a result of exercising its Rights under Section 3.13) which is in excess of its share of any such payment in accordance with the relevant Rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment with each other Lender in accordance with the relevant Rights under the Loan Documents. If all or any portion of such excess payment is subsequently recovered from such purchasing Lender, then the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this SECTION 3.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all of its Rights of payment (including the Right of offset) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 3.13 BOOKING BORROWINGS. To the extent permitted by Law, any Lender may make, carry, or transfer its Pro Rata Part of the Outstanding Note Balance at, to, or for the account of any of its Affiliates; provided that, no Affiliate of any Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 4 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Pro Rata Part.

Senior Secured Term Loan 17 (b) Capital Adequacy. If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof and having jurisdiction over the Loan Documents, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration, in good faith, its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. (c) Compensation Statement. Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section shall furnish to Borrower and Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 4.2 LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to continue Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, or to convert Base Rate Borrowings into Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, either prepay such Eurodollar Rate Borrowings or convert such Eurodollar Rate Borrowings into Base Rate Borrowings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 4.3 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Rate Borrowings hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof and such Lender's obligation to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Borrowings and to convert other Base Rate Borrowings into Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Rate Borrowings (in which case the provisions of SECTION 4.4 shall be applicable). 4.4 TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS. If the obligation of any Lender to fund Eurodollar Rate Borrowings or to continue Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be suspended pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 hereof, such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Borrowings on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Eurodollar Rate Borrowings (or, in the case of a conversion required by SECTION 4.3 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in SECTIONS 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: (a) to the extent that such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Borrowings have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Borrowings; and Senior Secured Term Loan 18 (b) all Eurodollar Rate Borrowings that would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Borrowings, and all Base Rate Borrowings of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Borrowings. If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in SECTIONS 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Borrowings pursuant to this SECTION 4.4 no longer exist, such Lender's Base Rate Borrowings shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Eurodollar Rate Borrowings held by the Lenders and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts and Interest Periods) in accordance with their ratable shares of the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount . 4.5 COMPENSATION. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any actual out-of-pocket loss, cost, or expense (including loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of: (a) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the loan pursuant to SECTION 11.2) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period; or (b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow, continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing on the date for such borrowing, continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of prepayment or continuation under this Agreement. 4.6 TAXES. (a) General. Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, excluding, in the case of each Lender and Administrative Agent, Taxes imposed on its income and franchise Taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction under the Laws of which such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, or any political subdivision thereof. If Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or Administrative Agent, (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 4.6) such Lender or Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. (b) Stamp and Documentary Taxes. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the Senior Secured Term Loan 19 execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "OTHER TAXES"). (c) Indemnification for Taxes. Borrower agree to indemnify each Lender and Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this SECTION 4.6) paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. (d) Withholding Tax Forms. Each Lender organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter, including, without limitation, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form or upon the written request of Borrower or Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so) shall provide Borrower and Administrative Agent with (i) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-BEN, W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-9, or other applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, or certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payment pursuant to the "portfolio interest" exception under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (ii) if applicable, a statement indicating that such Lender is entitled to the "portfolio interest" exception under Section 871(h) or 881(c)(3) of the Code, and (iii) any other governmental forms or certificates which are necessary or required under an applicable tax treaty or otherwise by law to reduce or eliminate withholding tax, which has been reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent. If an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law, or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery required by the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrower and Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, such Lender shall not be required to deliver such forms. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding at such rate shall be considered excluded from "Taxes". (e) Failure to Provide Withholding Forms; Changes in Tax Laws. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide Borrower and Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to SECTION 4.6(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under SECTION 4.6(a) or 4.6(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. (f) Tax Payment Receipt. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. Senior Secured Term Loan 20 (g) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this SECTION 4.6 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligation.

The application to obtain the NFA or other approval shall provide maximum protection for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and any other party designated by the Administrative Agent, and shall propose the most time effective remedy. In all events of any Release or threatened Release of a Hazardous Substance, Borrower and Guarantor shall take all appropriate actions necessary to prevent or mitigate damage to and protect the Mortgaged Property and other Collateral, and shall provide copies of all correspondence, studies, reports, or other documentation to Administrative Agent and the Lender.

If neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall perform the obligations in this Section within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice, Administrative Agent or Lender may elect, in either of their sole discretion, and with no obligation to do so, to undertake appropriate action. Any monies expended in such action, including the costs of hiring consultants, investigation, removal, remediation, or restoration, or the costs of curing any non-compliance, and reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, shall be reimbursed by Borrower and Guarantor on demand, will constitute a portion of the Debt, will bear interest from the date incurred until paid at the Default Rate, and will be secured by the Collateral. Borrower and Guarantor agree that Borrower and Guarantor shall be unconditionally liable for the obligations under this SECTION 9.13 and such liability shall not be limited to the original or amortized principal amount of the Loan. Indemnitees may enforce the obligations under this SECTION 9.13 without first having recourse to any Collateral, any other Loan Document or any other party liable thereunder or hereunder.

The Site Reviewers are further authorized and granted a license to perform both above and below the ground testing for the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Mortgaged Property and to perform such other invasive tests as may be appropriate to conduct the Site Assessments in the reasonable opinion of the Site Reviewers, provided such is conducted in accordance with the requirement of Governmental Authorities.

Any "Material Adverse Event" or other materiality qualifier in any representation, warranty, covenant, or other provision of any Loan Document is included for credit documentation purposes only and shall not, and shall not be deemed to, mean that Administrative Agent or any Lender acquiesces in any non-compliance by Borrower or Guarantor with any Law or document, or that Administrative Agent or any Lender does not expect the Borrower or Guarantor to promptly, diligently, and continuously carry out all appropriate removal, remediation, restoration and termination activities required or appropriate in accordance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Requirements. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to Borrower or Guarantor arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower or Guarantor, on the other hand, in connection with the Loan Documents is solely that of debtor and creditor. The power of the Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents is limited to the Rights provided in the Loan Documents, which Rights exist solely to assure payment and performance of the Obligation and may be exercised in a manner calculated by the Administrative Agent and Lenders in their respective good faith business judgment. 11.7 COURSE OF DEALING. The acceptance by Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time and from time to time of partial payment on the Obligation shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default then existing. No waiver by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders, or Lenders of any Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Default. No delay or omission by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders, or Lenders in exercising any Right under the Loan Documents shall impair such Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such Right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other Right under the Loan Documents or otherwise. 11.8 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All Rights available to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents are cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights granted to Administrative Agent and Lenders at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation is due and payable and whether or not Administrative Agent or Lenders have instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Loan Documents. 11.9 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Any and all proceeds ever received by Administrative Agent or Lenders from the exercise of any Rights pertaining to the Obligation shall be applied to the Obligation in the order and manner set forth in SECTION 3.11. 11.10 CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS. Each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees that it will promptly execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers Administrative Agent or Lenders may reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, or Authorization of any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any Rights under the Loan Documents. Because each of the Borrower and Guarantor agrees that Administrative Agent's and Lenders' remedies at Law for failure of the Borrower Senior Secured Term Loan 39 or Guarantor to comply with the provisions of this Section would be inadequate and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each of the Borrower and Guarantor agrees that the covenants of this Section may be specifically enforced. 11.11 EXPENDITURES BY LENDERS. Borrower shall promptly pay within fifteen (15) Business Days after request therefore (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent and Highland Capital Management, L.P., incident to any Loan Document (including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to Administrative Agent and Highland Capital Management, L.P. in connection with the negotiation, preparation, delivery, execution, coordination, and administration of the Loan Documents and any related amendment, waiver, or consent) and (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lenders and Administrative Agent incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of the obligations of Borrower and Guarantor arising under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any workout or bankruptcy) or the exercise of any Rights arising under the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees including allocated cost of internal counsel, court costs, and other costs of collection), all of which shall be a part of the Obligation and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date due until the date repaid. 11.12 INDEMNIFICATION. EACH OF BORROWER AND GUARANTOR AGREES TO INDEMNIFY DEFEND, RELEASE, SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, AND ADVISORS (EACH, AN "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGES), COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED OR AWARDED AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, IN EACH CASE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON OF (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR PROCEEDING OR PREPARATION OF DEFENSE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE OF THE LOAN PROCEEDS (INCLUDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, OR EXPENSE IS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE INDEMNITY IN THIS SECTION 11.12 APPLIES, SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT BY BORROWER, GUARANTOR, THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, OR CREDITORS OR AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS OTHERWISE A PARTY THERETO AND WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED. EACH OF BORROWER AND GUARANTOR RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE OF THE LOAN PROCEEDS. WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE SURVIVAL OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OF THE BORROWER OR GUARANTOR HEREUNDER, THE AGREEMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER AND GUARANTOR CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11.12 SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. Senior Secured Term Loan 40 THIS INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SHALL INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, (I) ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNITEE, (II) STATUTORY AND COMMON LAW NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY CLAIMS AS WELL AS NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS ARISING UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, INCLUDING CERCLA OR OTHER ANALOGOUS FEDERAL OR STATE STATUTES, AND (III) ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM DIMINUTION IN THE VALUE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY OR OTHER COLLATERAL RESULTING FROM ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIM OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGES. (a) To the extent the Indemnified Parties are entitled to the indemnity pursuant to this SECTION 11.12, this Indemnity obligation shall include, but shall not be limited to: (i) the burden of defending all claims, suits, and administrative proceedings (with counsel reasonably approved by Indemnitees), even if such claims, suits, or proceedings are groundless, false, fraudulent, or frivolous, and of conducting all negotiations of any description with respect thereto; (ii) paying and discharging, when and as the same shall become due, any and all judgments, penalties, or other sums due against any Indemnitee; (iii) all costs of investigation, removal, remediation, and disposal of all Hazardous Substances, (whether or not such Hazardous Substance may be legally allowed to remain upon, about or beneath the Mortgaged Property or other Collateral if removal or remediation is prudent; provided, however, that any removal or remediation shall be conducted in such a manner as to place no restriction on the future use of the Mortgaged Property, to place no deed restriction upon the Mortgaged Property and to require no post-response action care or monitoring); (iv) all reasonable costs of determining whether the Mortgaged Property or other Collateral is in compliance, and causing the Mortgaged Property or other Collateral to be in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws as permitted by Section 9.14; (v) all reasonable costs associated with claims for damages to persons, property or natural resources; and (vi) Indemnitees' reasonable attorneys' fees and consultants' fees and any court costs. Any Indemnitee, at its expense, may employ additional counsel of its choice to associate with counsel approved by Indemnitees and employed by Borrower or Guarantor. Borrower, Guarantor, and their successors and assigns hereby waive, release and agree not to make any claim or bring any action under any Environmental Law now existing or hereafter enacted against any Indemnitee with respect to the Mortgaged Property or other Collateral, or any matter that arises or might arise under this Agreement except to the extent such arises as a result of the negligent or intentional act or omissions of Indemnitees. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any Indemnitee is strictly liable under any Environmental Law with respect to any Environmental Claim or any matter that arises or might arise under this Senior Secured Term Loan 41 Agreement, Borrower and Guarantor's obligations to Indemnitees under this Agreement shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of Borrower or Guarantor with respect to the violation or condition which results in liability to any Indemnitee. (b) If the undertaking in the preceding paragraph, or in any portion thereof, is at any time determined to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower or Guarantor will contribute the maximum portion that either is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all obligations. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of Borrower and/or Guarantor under this Agreement shall not include (a) any Environmental Claim arising or resulting from the activity of an Indemnitee (without contribution by Borrower and/or Guarantor or any affiliate, officer, director, employee, contractor or agent of Borrower and/or Guarantor) after possession of and full title to the Mortgaged Property has been accepted by the Indemnitee, or (b) any Environmental Claim occurring or arising with respect to any Hazardous Substance first placed on or Released to the Mortgaged Property after possession of and full title to the Mortgaged Property has been accepted by an Indemnitee. The burden of proof with regard to establishing the date upon which any event or condition occurred or upon which a Hazardous Substance was placed, disposed or Released on, to or from the Mortgaged Property, or the cause of such event or condition shall be upon Borrower and/or Guarantor. SECTION 12 AGREEMENT AMONG LENDERS. 12.1 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) Appointment of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby appoints Heritage Bank, SSB (and Heritage Bank, SSB accepts such appointment) as its nominee and agent, in its name and on its behalf: (i) to act as nominee for and on behalf of such Lender in and under all Loan Documents; (ii) to arrange the means whereby the funds of Lenders are to be made available to Borrower under the Loan Documents; (iii) to take such action as may be requested by any Lender under the Loan Documents (when such Lender is entitled to make such request under the Loan Documents and after such requesting Lender has obtained the concurrence of such other Lenders as may be required under the Loan Documents); (iv) to receive all documents and items to be furnished to Lenders under the Loan Documents; (v) to timely distribute, and Administrative Agent agrees to so distribute, to each Lender all material information, requests, documents, and items received from Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents; (vi) to promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable part of each payment or prepayment (whether voluntary, as proceeds of collateral upon or after foreclosure, as proceeds of insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; and (vii) to deliver to the appropriate Persons requests, demands, approvals, and consents received from Lenders; provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable Law. (b) Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time with or without cause as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and may be removed as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents at any time with cause by Required Lenders. Should the initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever cease to be a party hereto or should the initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever resign or be removed as Administrative Agent, then Required Lenders shall elect the successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders (other than the resigning Administrative Agent). If no successor Senior Secured Term Loan 42 Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the Rights of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and each Lender shall execute such documents as any Lender may reasonably request to reflect such change in and under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, the provisions of this SECTION 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. (c) Administrative Agent as a Lender. Non-Fiduciary. Administrative Agent if also a Lender, in such capacity as a Lender, shall have the same Rights under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent; the term "Lender" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent; and any resignation, or removal of Administrative Agent hereunder shall not impair or otherwise affect any Rights which it has or may have in its capacity as an individual Lender. Each Lender, the Borrower and Guarantor agree that Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary for Lenders, Borrower, or Guarantor but simply is acting in the capacity described herein to alleviate administrative burdens for Borrower, Guarantor and Lenders, that Administrative Agent has no duties or responsibilities to Lenders, Borrower or Guarantor except those expressly set forth herein, and that Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender has all Rights of any other Lender. (d) Other Activities of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may now or hereafter be engaged in one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing, or other financing transactions with Borrower or Guarantor, act as trustee or depositary for Borrower or Guarantor, or otherwise be engaged in other transactions with Borrower or Guarantor (collectively, the "OTHER ACTIVITIES") not the subject of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the Rights of Lenders specifically set forth in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall not be responsible to account to Lenders for such other activities, and no Lender shall have any interest in any other activities, any present or future guaranties by or for the account of Borrower or Guarantor which are not contemplated or included in the Loan Documents, any present or future offset exercised by Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in respect of such other activities, any present or future property taken as security for any such other activities, or any property now or hereafter in the possession or control of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates which may be or become security for the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor arising under the Loan Documents by reason of the general description of indebtedness secured or of property contained in any other agreements, documents, or instruments related to any such other activities; provided that, if any payments in respect of such guaranties or such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied to reduction of the Obligation, then each Lender shall be entitled to share in such application ratably. 12.2 EXPENSES. Upon demand by Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay its ratable portion (determined as of the date reimbursement is sought hereunder) of any reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, and other costs of collection) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any of the Loan Documents if and to the extent such Administrative Agent does not receive reimbursement therefore from other sources within 60 days after Senior Secured Term Loan 43 incurred; provided that, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable portion of any reimbursement for such expenses, or part thereof, which Administrative Agent subsequently receives from such other sources. 12.3 PROPORTIONATE ABSORPTION OF LOSSES. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, nothing in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to give any Lender any advantage over any other Lender insofar as the Obligation is concerned, or to relieve any Lender from absorbing its ratable portion of any losses sustained with respect to the Obligation (except to the extent such losses result from unilateral actions or inactions of any Lender that are not made in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents). 12.4 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]. 12.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. (a) General. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under the Loan Documents in good faith and reasonably believed by it or them to be within the discretion or power conferred upon it or them by the Loan Documents or be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment, except for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct; and neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Representatives has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by virtue of the Loan Documents (provided that, nothing herein shall negate the obligation of Administrative Agent to account for funds received by it for the account of any Lender). (b) Non-Discretionary Actions. Indemnification. Unless indemnified to its satisfaction against loss, cost, liability, and expense, neither Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall be compelled to do any act under the Loan Documents or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the powers thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Loan Documents. If Administrative Agent requests instructions from Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action (including, but not limited to, any failure to act) in connection with any Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to refrain (without incurring any liability to any Person by so refraining) from such act or action unless and until it has received such instructions. Except where action of Required Lenders or all Lenders is required in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may act hereunder in its own discretion without requesting instructions. In no event, however, shall Administrative Agent or any of its Representatives be required to take any action which it or they determine could incur for it or them criminal or onerous civil liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent's acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required in the Loan Documents). (c) Independent Credit Decision. Neither Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall be responsible in any manner to any Lender or any Participant for, and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Administrative Agent or any other Agent in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of Borrower or Guarantor and the risks involved to such Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or the due execution of any Loan Document, (iii) any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement made therein or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (iv) the existence, priority, or perfection of any Lien hereafter granted or purported to be granted under any Loan Document, or (v) observation of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Loan Senior Secured Term Loan 44 Document on the part of either Borrower or Guarantor. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and its Representatives and hold them harmless from and against (but limited to such Lender's Pro Rata Part of) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses, and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, asserted against, or incurred by them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by them under the Loan Documents (INCLUDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES), to the extent Administrative Agent and its Representatives are not reimbursed for such amounts by Borrower (provided that, Administrative Agent and its Representatives shall not have the Right to be indemnified hereunder for its or their own fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct). 12.6 DEFAULT; COLLATERAL. (a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default, Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that Required Lenders or Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the Rights of Lenders; and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person for so refraining) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders. All Rights of action under the Loan Documents and all Rights to the Collateral, if any, hereunder may be enforced by Administrative Agent and any suit or proceeding instituted by Administrative Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as Administrative Agent without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any other Agent or Lender, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of Lenders subject to the expenses of Administrative Agent. In actions with respect to any property of Borrower or Guarantor, Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender. Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether made heretofore or hereafter) other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower or Guarantor to the Obligation shall be construed as being for the ratable benefit of each Lender. (b) Each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Except to the extent unanimity or a supermajority is required hereunder, each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. (c) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents. (d) Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the Rights granted or available to Administrative Agent in this SECTION 12.6 or in any of the Collateral Documents; it being understood that Administrative Agent shall have no Senior Secured Term Loan 45 duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender, other than to act without gross negligence or willful misconduct. (e) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral: (i) upon payment and satisfaction of the Obligation; (ii) constituting property in which Borrower did not own an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter;(iii) upon the sale, transfer, or disposition of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents; (iv) as contemplated in SECTION 6.3; or (v) if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by all necessary Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent's authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this SECTION 12.6. (f) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this SECTION 12.6, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Lender, (i) to enter into Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, any appointments of substitute trustees under any Collateral Document), (ii) to take action with respect to the Collateral and Collateral Documents to perfect, maintain, and preserve Lender's Liens, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any Collateral to the extent authorized in PARAGRAPH (e) hereof. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent's power, as attorney, relative to the Collateral matters described in this SECTION 12.6. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of Administrative Agent. The power of attorney conferred by this SECTION 12.6(f) is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Obligation, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid. 12.7 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. To the extent permitted by Law, (a) Administrative Agent (acting in its agent capacity) shall not incur any liability to any Lender or Participant except for acts or omissions resulting from its own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (b) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Participant shall incur any liability to any other Person for any act or omission of any other Lender or Participant. 12.8 RELATIONSHIP OF LENDERS. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among Administrative Agent and Lenders. 12.9 BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT. None of the provisions of this SECTION 12 shall inure to the benefit of or obligate Borrower or any other Person other than Lenders and Administrative Agent; consequently, neither Borrower or any other Person shall be entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with such provisions. 12.10 OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several, and each Lender hereunder shall not be responsible for the obligations of the other Lenders hereunder, nor will the failure of one Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder relieve the other Lenders from the performance of their respective obligations hereunder. SECTION 13 MISCELLANEOUS. Senior Secured Term Loan 46 13.1 HEADINGS. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in any of the Loan Documents are, unless specified otherwise, for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, amplify, or modify the terms of the Loan Documents, nor affect the meaning thereof. 13.2 NONBUSINESS DAYS. In any case where any payment or action is due under any Loan Document on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action may be delayed until the next-succeeding Business Day, but interest and fees shall continue to accrue in respect of any payment to which it is applicable until such payment is in fact made; provided that, if, in the case of any such payment in respect of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the next-succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, then such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day. 13.3 COMMUNICATIONS.

All Rights of, and provisions relating to, reimbursement and indemnification of Administrative Agent or any Lender (and any other provision of the Loan Documents that expressly provides for such survival) shall survive termination of this Agreement, payment in full of the Obligation, and any assignment by any Lender. 13.6 GOVERNING LAW.

The Loan Documents may be executed in a number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in making proof of any Loan Document, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts hereof shall have been executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by each Lender, Administrative Agent, Borrower, and Guarantor, or, when Administrative Agent shall have received telecopied, telexed, or other evidence satisfactory to it that such party has executed and is delivering to Administrative Agent a counterpart hereof. 13.12 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. (a) 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 neither Borrower nor Guarantor may not, except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents, assign or otherwise transfer any of its Rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of 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 13.12(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 13.12(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of SECTION 13.12(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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 13.12(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable Right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) 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 the Senior Secured Term Loan 50 Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Senior Secured Discount Note at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (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 Senior Secured Discount Notes assigned, except that this CLAUSE (II) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its Rights and obligations on a non-pro rata basis; and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 13.12(c), 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 4, 11, and 13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 SECTION 13.12(d). (c) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its office in Dallas, Texas a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, Aggregate Senior Secured Note Amount owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "REGISTER").

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) 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 the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount 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, 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 Senior Secured Term Loan 51 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, modification, or waiver with respect to the following: extending the due date for payment of any amount in respect of principal (other than mandatory prepayments), interest, or fees due under the Loan Documents, reducing the interest rate or the amount of principal or fees applicable to the Obligation (except such reductions as are contemplated by the Loan Documents), or releasing all or any substantial portion of the Collateral for the Obligation under the Loan Documents (except such releases of Collateral as are contemplated in SECTION 6.3) that affects such Participant. SUBJECT TO SECTION 13.12(e), Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to SECTION 13.12(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 3.13 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to SECTION 3.12 as though it were a Lender. (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 4.6 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with SECTION 4.6(d) as though it were a Lender. (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its Rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation 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. 13.13 DECISIONS BY BORROWER. To the extent any action under the Loan Documents requires the consent or direction of Borrower and Borrower does not agree on the action to be taken, Administrative Agent shall (a) take the alternative action (if any) provided under the Loan Documents for circumstances under which no consent or direction is given by Borrower, or (b) if no such action is provided, take no action unless otherwise directed by Required Lenders. 13.14 CONFIDENTIALITY. Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to exercise its best efforts to keep confidential any non-public information delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents and identified as such by Borrower and not to disclose such information to Persons other than to: its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, and employees and in each case, on a need-to-know basis and provided that such recipient complies with the confidentiality provisions hereof; or its potential assignees or Participants; or Persons employed by or engaged by Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Lender's assignees or Participants including, without limitation, attorneys, auditors, professional consultants, rating agencies, and portfolio management services and in each case, on a need-to-know basis and provided that such recipient complies with the confidentiality provisions hereof. The confidentiality provisions contained in this subsection shall not apply to disclosures (a) required to be made by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Governmental Authority or pursuant to legal process or (b) consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Borrower. The obligations of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this SECTION 13.14 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Administrative Agent and Lenders under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to the date hereof. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Borrower; provided, however, 52 each potential assignee or Participant shall be required to agree that if it does not become an assignee (or Participant) it shall return all materials furnished to it by Borrower in connection herewith. 13.15 PUBLICATION. Borrower consents to the publication by Administrative Agent or Lenders of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, Administrative Agent or Lenders (as applicable) shall provide a draft of any such tombstone or similar advertising material to Borrower for review prior to the publication thereof. Administrative Agent and Lenders reserve the right to provide industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. 13.16 DISCHARGE ONLY UPON PAYMENT IN FULL; REINSTATEMENT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Aggregate Senior Secured Discount Note Stated Amount and of all interest, fees, and other amounts of the Obligation then due and owing, except that SECTIONS 4, 11, and 13, and any other provisions under the Loan Documents expressly intended to survive by the terms hereof or by the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, shall survive such termination. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
