(a)    Generally.

Each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make its Proportionate Share of the Loan in Dollars to Borrower in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Section. The aggregate amount of all advances of the Loan on a cumulative basis shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount. The Loan is not a revolving credit loan, and any portion of the Loan that is repaid may not be reborrowed.

(b)    Closing Date Advance. On the Closing Date, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions to advance described in Schedule 2.1, Lenders shall advance to Borrower, in a single advance, a portion of the Loan in the principal amount of $105,000,000.00.

(c)    Origination Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lenders an upfront fee in the amount of 0.50% of the principal amount of the Loan (the “Origination Fee”). The

Origination Fee shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to reduction or be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.2    Interest Rate; Late Charge. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at a floating rate of interest equal to the Contract Rate. If Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest or principal due with respect to the Loan within five (5) days after the date on which the same is due, excluding the final payment due on the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a late charge on such past due amount, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to five percent (5%) of such amount, but not in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law. Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) its portion of the late charge based on each Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.3. The foregoing late charge is intended to compensate each Lender for the expenses incident to handling any such delinquent payment and for the losses incurred by each Lender as a result of such delinquent payment. Borrower agrees that, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date this Agreement is executed, the late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the costs and losses each Lender will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and each Lender further agree that proof of actual losses would be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix. Acceptance of the late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the Event of Default arising from the overdue installment, and shall not prevent any Lender from exercising any other rights or remedies available to such Lender with respect to such Event of Default. While any Event of Default exists, the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 2.3    Terms of Payment. The Loan shall be payable as follows:

(a)    Interest. Commencing on the Payment Date in August, 2022, and on each Payment Date thereafter through and including the Payment Date immediately prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, interest in arrears computed at the Contract Rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(E)    Prior to the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent (for the account of Lenders) an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(D)    the representations and warranties of Borrower and Guarantor in the Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Extended Maturity Date as then in effect with the same effect as if made on such date, and Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an authorized agent of Borrower and Guarantor to such effect; and

(E)    Prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent (for the account of Lenders) an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

Section 2.4    Prepayment.

(a)    Voluntary Prepayment.

(ii)    If Borrower receives any Principal Payment relating to casualty or condemnation proceeds that Borrower elects to apply toward repayment of the Underlying Loan, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (contemporaneously with Borrower’s receipt of the corresponding Principal Payment) an amount equal to 79]% (or, if an Event of Default is then in existence, 100%) of the such Principal Payment.

Section 2.5    Debt Service Reserve.

(a)    Establishment of Debt Service Reserve. The parties hereby agree that, on the Closing Date, a reserve shall be established under this Agreement by Borrower with Administrative Agent, which reserve shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall serve as Collateral for the Obligations (such reserve, “Debt Service Reserve”).

(b)    Deposits to Debt Service Reserve. If, as of any Determination Date, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (calculated in accordance with Section 2.5(c)) is less than the covenant amount set forth in Section 6.13 for such Determination Date, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent, on or before the date that is fifteen (15) days following the applicable Determination Date, an amount that, if added to Adjusted Revenue, would result in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to the covenant amount set forth in Section 6.13 for such Determination Date, for deposit into the Debt Service Reserve.

For purposes of this Section 2.5, (i) Adjusted Expenses shall be for the six month period ending on the applicable Determination Date and shall not be annualized; (ii) Debt Service shall be for the six month period ending on the applicable Determination Date and shall not be annualized; (iii) Adjusted Revenue shall be for the six (6) month period ending on the applicable Determination Date and shall not be annualized; and (iv) Adjusted Revenue shall be increased by the amounts on deposit, in each case as of the applicable Determination Date, in the Debt Service Reserve and, provided such reserve is held in a Deposit Account maintained by Borrower that is subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement in favor of Administrative Agent, the Underlying Loan Debt Service Reserve.

(d)    Use of Funds. The Debt Service Reserve shall not be available to Borrower for payment of debt service or any other amount payable by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(e)    General Provisions. Borrower hereby pledges to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and grants to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders), a security interest in, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited into the Debt Service Reserve as security for the Obligations. The Lenders and Borrower acknowledge that the funds on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve shall be held without interest in Administrative Agent’s name, may be commingled with the general funds of Administrative Agent and are not held for the benefit of Borrower. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the Debt Service Fund shall be paid by Borrower promptly upon demand or, at Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, deducted from the Debt Service Reserve. Any amounts remaining in the Debt Service Reserve at the time of payment and performance in full of the Obligations shall be promptly disbursed to the Borrower, provided no Event of Default is then in existence.

Section 2.6    Application and Return of Payments.

(a)    Waterfall. Provided no Event of Default is in existence, all payments received by Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents shall be applied, (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, any Credit Document; (ii) second, to pay Default Rate interest or late charges (if any then due and payable); (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable calculated at the Contract Rate; (iv) fourth, to principal payments, if any, due under the Loan; (v) fifth, to any reserves, escrows or other impounds required to be maintained pursuant to the Credit Documents; and (vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations. While an Event of Default is in existence, all payments shall be applied in such order as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, at any time during the existence of an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations or on or after the Maturity Date, Administrative Agent applies any payments received or the proceeds of any Collateral to principal payments on the Loan, Administrative Agent shall apply such payments or proceeds pro rata between such principal payments on the Loan.

(b)    Application of Payments Generally. All prepayments of the principal amount of the Loan shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of such outstanding principal amounts of the Loan in the inverse order of maturity. If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations then due described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.6, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.6 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

(c)    Payments. Borrower shall make each payment under any Credit Document not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings time) on the day when due to Administrative Agent by (i) during any period in which Newpoint is the Servicer, wire transfer or (ii) if Newpoint is not the Servicer, Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transfer initiated by Administrative Agent pursuant to an ACH Authorization Form executed by Borrower following the termination of Newpoint as Servicer to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as Administrative Agent shall have notified Borrower in writing within a reasonable time prior to the date on which such payment is due) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim:

Administrative Agent shall cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.6(a), promptly after receipt or deemed receipt, but not later than one Business Day following receipt (or deemed receipt) by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any payments to a Lender except out of amounts received or applied by Administrative Agent with respect to the Loan, and only if and to the extent payable in accordance with said Section 2.6(a). Payments received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(d)    Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by Administrative Agent on the basis of a fraction, the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360) and the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed from (and including) the date of the initial disbursement under the Loan or the date of the preceding Payment Date, as the case may be, to (but not including) the date of the next Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e)    Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as provided in the definition of “Business Day”.

(f)    Advancing Payments; Return of Payments.

(i)    Unless Administrative Agent has received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.

(ii)    If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim, defense, or deduction of any kind.

(iii)    If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document must be returned to any Borrower Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Administrative Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.

(g)    Erroneous Payments.

(i)    If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party (any such Lender, other Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, other Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 2.6(g)(i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii)    Without limiting immediately preceding Section 2.6(g)(i), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (A) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (B) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (C) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case, then (1) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (A) or (B), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (2) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (C)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment.

(iii)    Each Lender and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 2.6(g)(i) above or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(iv)    Borrower hereby agrees that (A) if an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated) to all the rights of such Lender or other Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount, (B) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Borrower Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Borrower Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment, and (B) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as a payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the applicable Lender, other Secured Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received; provided, however, the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Borrower Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment shall be credited as a payment or satisfaction of the Obligations and the Obligations or part thereof that were so credited shall not be reinstated.

(v)    To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(vi)     Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 2.6(g) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or other

Secured Party, the termination of any Commitment or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

Section 2.7    Uses of Loan Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely for the purpose of making the Underlying Loan. The proceeds of the Underlying Loan are intended and will be used for business and/or commercial purposes and are not intended and will not be used for personal, family or household purposes.

Section 2.8    Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a)    If any Change in Law increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the affected Lender to Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, such Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8(a).

(b)    If, due to any Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining the Loan, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, such Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8(b)

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the terms of Section 2.10), if after the Closing Date, (i) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain its Loan Commitment bearing interest computed by reference to the then current Benchmark, or (ii) the then current Benchmark is discontinued or is otherwise no longer available (temporarily or otherwise), then (A) with respect to the occurrence described in subsection (i) above, unless such Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain its Loan Commitment at another office of such Lender without, in such Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Loan Commitment or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower, (1) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain its Loan Commitment shall terminate and (2) Borrower shall prepay in full such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan, together with interest accrued thereon, within thirty (30) days following such Lender’s demand for payment unless such Lender elects to use the Base Rate as a replacement index, plus an Applicable Margin (which may be negative) to approximate the Contract Rate before such change in law or regulation and (B) with respect to the occurrence described in subsection (ii) above, Administrative Agent will use the Base Rate as a replacement index, plus an Applicable Margin (which may be negative) to approximate the Contract Rate. If any Lender elects to use the Base Rate as contemplated by subsection (A) above or if subsection

(B) above is applicable, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin to be used and the same shall be applied to the Loan effective as of the date such Lender or Administrative Agent determined that the then current Benchmark was no longer available (temporarily or otherwise), as applicable.

Section 2.9    Interest Rate Protection. Borrower shall not enter into any interest rate swap agreement, interest rate cap agreement, interest rate collar agreement or other similar agreement pertaining to fluctuations in interest rates, or any swaps, caps or collar agreements or similar arrangements providing for protection against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, either generally or under specific contingencies, other than a Hedge Agreement approved by Administrative Agent, and not for speculative purposes. The Collateral shall not be pledged or encumbered in any manner to secure any obligation under a Hedge Agreement.

Section 2.10    Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)    Benchmark Replacement Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement Rate. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement Rate pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement Rate, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Rate, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(c).

(d)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. During the existence of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Loan will bear interest at the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin.

(e)    Conflict with Other Sections. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Section 2.10 and the terms of Section 2.8 or any other section of this Agreement, the terms of this Section 2.10 shall control.

Section 2.11    Evidence of Debt.

(a)    Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to each Lender resulting from the Proportionate Share of the Loan of such Lender from time to time outstanding, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, with respect to each Lender having sold a participation interest in any of the Obligations owing to it, such Lender, acting as agent of Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.1 (or at such other address as Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (i) the name and address of each such participant (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (ii) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant in any Obligation owing to such Lender, in any Commitment or any portion of the Loan and in any right of such Lender to receive any payment hereunder.

(b)    Records of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Borrower Party to repay the Loan in accordance with its terms. Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c)    Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loan (including any Notes evidencing the Loan) shall constitute a registered obligation, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to the Loan shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.11 and Section 10.3 shall be construed so that the Loan is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(d)    Replacement Notes. Upon receipt of an acceptable affidavit and indemnity of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon receipt of such Note, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

Section 2.12    Substitution of Lenders.

(a)    If any Lender that is not an Affiliate of Administrative Agent (an “Affected Lender”), makes a claim under Section 2.8 or notifies Borrower and Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or maintain its Proportionate Share of the Loan using the then-current Benchmark, Borrower may either pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due with the consent of Administrative Agent

or substitute for such Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”).

(b)    To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender, Borrower shall deliver a notice to Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to Administrative Agent by Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender), and (ii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment by the Substitute Lender of the assignment fee set forth in Section 10.3 and (B) an Assignment and Assumption.

(c)    Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full, such Affected Lender’s Commitment shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Credit Documents with respect to the Loan, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment and (C) the Affected Lender and the applicable Substitute Lender shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.

Section 2.13    Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Payments.

(a)    Pro Rata Treatment. (i) Each advance of the Loan from the Lenders under Section 2.1 shall be made by the Lenders, and any termination of the obligation to make an advance of the Loan shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, based on their Proportionate Share; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders based on their Proportionate Share; and (iii) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(b)    Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(i)    If any Lender shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on the Loan owing or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Credit Document through the exercise of any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loan or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loan or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as

shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loan or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(ii)    Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise all rights of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of the Loan or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(iii)    Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set off to which this Section 2.13(b) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.13(b) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 2.14    Withholding Taxes.

(a)    Payments Free and Clear of Withholding Taxes. Each payment by Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding the taxes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) below, the “Withholding Taxes”) other than for (i) taxes imposed on or measured by net income (including branch profits taxes) and franchise taxes, in each case, (a) imposed as a result of Lender being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (b) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) United States federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of Lender with respect to an applicable interest in the Loan (or, if applicable, Commitment) pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (i) Lender acquires such interest in the Loan (or, if applicable, Commitment) (other than pursuant to an assignment request by Borrower under Section 2.12) or (ii) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to Section 2.14(b), amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to such Lender's assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) taxes that are directly attributable to the failure (other than as a result of a change in any Requirements of Law) by any Lender to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(f) below and (iv) any United States federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (the taxes described in subsections (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.14(a) herein called “Excluded Taxes”). “Other Connection Taxes” means, with respect to Lender, taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than connections arising from Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Credit Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Credit Document).

(b)    Gross-Up. If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirements of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Credit Document to any Lender

and such Taxes are Withholding Taxes, (i) such amount payable shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Withholding Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.14), such Lender receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Borrower Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Borrower Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(c)    Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, intangible, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirements of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower Party, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(d)    Indemnification. Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Administrative Agent), each Lender for all Withholding Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Withholding Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender and any Liabilities (other than Liabilities specifically excluded in this Section 2.14) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Lender (or of Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower with copy to Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, Administrative Agent and such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e)    Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f)    Tax Forms.

(i)    Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding Tax or, after a change in any Requirements of Law, is subject to such withholding Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable Tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested in writing by Borrower or Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide Administrative Agent and Borrower with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or

business), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (together with appropriate forms, certifications and supporting statements) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Credit Documents. Unless Borrower and Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Credit Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States Withholding Tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(ii)    Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 2.14(f) and (D) from time to time if requested in writing by Borrower or Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, the relevant Lender), provide Administrative Agent and Borrower (or, in the case of a participant, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

(iii)    Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations shall collect from such participant the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to Administrative Agent.

(iv)    If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower any documentation under any Requirements of Law or reasonably requested in writing by Administrative Agent or Borrower sufficient for Administrative Agent or Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment

(g)    Refunds. If a Lender has received a refund of (or tax credit with respect to) any Withholding 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 2.14, it shall pay over such refund (or the benefit realized as a result of such tax credit) to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of the Lender (including any Withholding Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Lender in good faith, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the written request of the Lender, agree to repay as soon as

reasonably practicable the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender if the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.14 shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes which it deems in good faith to be confidential) to Borrower or any other person.

(h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 2.15    Underlying Loan Collections; Deposit Account.

(a)    All Underlying Loan Collections shall be deposited into the Collections Deposit Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt.

(b)    While an Event of Default is in existence, Administrative Agent shall have the right, at its option, to (i) direct the applicable depository institution to transfer all amounts then on deposit in the Collections Account to Administrative Agent, (ii) terminate the Servicer, (iii) exercise remedies under the Deposit Account Control Agreement governing the Collections Account and (iv) direct Borrower to transfer all Underlying Loan Collections and all other amounts paid by Underlying Loan Borrower (including impound and reserve payments) to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply such amounts to the Obligations (excluding reserves and impounds, which shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Underlying Loan Documents). 2

(c)    Borrower agrees that it shall be solely responsible for any fees and charges in effect from time to time and charged by the applicable depository institution in connection with the Collections Account, and that Administrative Agent shall have no liability therefor. Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Administrative Agent solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder and not in its capacity as the applicable depository institution (which shall be governed by the Deposit Account Control Agreement) harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, losses and demands whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from or relating to actions of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section or the Deposit Account Control Agreement, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent as determined by the final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)    If any Underlying Loan Collections are not deposited in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but are received directly by Borrower in violation of this Agreement, such collections shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent pursuant to an express trust created hereby and immediately deposited, in the form received, into the Collections Account.

(c)    to direct (and to take any and all other steps necessary to cause) the Custodian to release the Underlying Loan Documents to Administrative Agent;

(d)    to direct (and to take any and all other steps necessary to cause) the Servicer to pay over directly to Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower (instead of to Borrower or any other Person) all sums from time to time due to Borrower and to take any and all other actions that Borrower or Administrative Agent has the right to take under the Servicer Acknowledgement, including termination of the Servicing Agreement as to Borrower; and

(e)    to request in writing that Borrower forthwith pay to Administrative Agent at its principal office all amounts thereafter received by Borrower upon or in respect of any of the Collateral, advising Administrative Agent as to the sources of such funds, and if Administrative Agent does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request.

All amounts so received and collected by Administrative Agent shall be applied by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.6(a) hereof.

Section 3.5    Proceeds. While an Event of Default is in existence, upon the request of Administrative Agent all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be (a) held by Borrower in trust for Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and, within two (2) Business Days of receipt by Borrower, shall be turned over to Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such party (duly endorsed by Borrower to Administrative Agent, if required, in order to be negotiated by Administrative Agent) or (b) unless otherwise directed by Administrative Agent, tendered to Servicer for payment to Administrative Agent in accordance with the Servicer Acknowledgment.

Acceptance by Borrower of any Collateral delivered to it pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (whether or not the recipient issues a receipt for it) or shipping by Administrative Agent in substantial compliance with shipping instructions given by Borrower or its designee shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered or shipped, and Administrative Agent shall thereby be released and discharged from any and all liability or responsibility for it first arising then or thereafter (except liability for Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case.)

Section 3.9    Conversion of Project to REO Project.

(a)    Following the approval by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.20(g), Borrower may enforce the Underlying Loan Documents and convert [a/the] Project to REO Property upon satisfaction of the Conversion Conditions concurrently with Borrower’s completion of foreclosure (whether judicial or non-judicial) of the mortgage securing the Underlying Loan or other acquisition, directly or indirectly, of title to the Project through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or, if approved by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.20(a), by acquisition by an Enforcement Entity of the equity interests in the Underlying Loan Borrowers.

(b)    If the approved Resolution Plan permits Borrower to enforce the Underlying Loan Documents, the following provisions shall apply:

(i)    Borrower shall take action as the holder of the Underlying Loan Documents in its own name, or, if approved by Administrative Agent in writing, in the name of a newly created enforcement entity (“Enforcement Entity”) formed by Borrower to take title to the Project;

(ii)    At the foreclosure sale, Borrower or the Enforcement Entity, as applicable, may bid in such amount as Borrower elects (taking into account the amount of the Underlying Loan and all other amounts owed by Borrower or such Enforcement Entity under the Underlying Loan Documents), and if Borrower or the Enforcement Entity is the successful bidder or if Borrower or the Enforcement Entity takes title to the Project and the Conversion Conditions are satisfied, Borrower or the Enforcement Entity, as applicable, shall concurrently grant to Lender pursuant to REO Mortgage a first priority lien in and to the Project and all other assets of the Underlying Loan Borrower (subject to the Permitted Encumbrances); and

(iii)    In connection with the enforcement of the Underlying Loan Documents by the Borrower or Enforcement Entity, Administrative shall cooperate with such efforts and shall execute and deliver (at Borrower’s cost and expense) such documents as reasonably necessary to effect such enforcement.

Section 4.4    Other Agreements; Defaults. Neither Borrower nor any other Borrower Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any court order, injunction, permit, or restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

Section 4.5    Compliance with Laws. Neither Borrower nor any other Borrower Party is in violation of any provision of any law, or any judgment, award, rule, regulation, order,

decree, writ or injunction of any court, other Governmental Authority or public regulatory body that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

Section 4.8    Forfeiture. There has not been committed by any Borrower Party or any other person involved with the operation or Borrower’s business any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Collateral or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Credit Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.

Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the Closing Date and each advance of the proceeds of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out their business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent

liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

(h)    Neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates have consented to any subordinate lien encumbering the Project and, with the exception of the Underlying Loan, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Project does not secure the repayment of any mortgage loan or any Indebtedness other than the Underlying Loan and the Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrower’s knowledge, there is no mezzanine debt related to the Project. Neither Borrower nor its Affiliates holds any preferred equity interest in the Underlying Loan Borrower.

(n)    Except as disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, there is (i) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Underlying Loan, or (ii) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), would reasonably be anticipated to materially and adversely affects the value of the Underlying Loan or the value, use or operation of the Project.

(o)    Except as disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, neither the Project, nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and Underlying Loan Borrower is not a debtor in, any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(p)    No advance of funds has been made by Borrower to the Underlying Loan Borrower other than pursuant to the applicable Underlying Loan Documents.

(r)    To Borrower’s knowledge, there is no pending, filed or threatened (in writing) action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving the Underlying Loan Borrower or the Project an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (i) title to the Project, (ii) the validity or enforceability of any Underlying Loan Mortgage, (iii) Underlying Loan Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the related Underlying Loan Documents, (iv) the current principal use, operation or value of the Project (or any of them), or (v) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Underlying Loan Documents, or (vi) the current ability of the Project to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the Underlying Loan.

(s)    Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent all financial statements, operating statements and other reports required to be provided by Underlying Loan Borrower under the Underlying Loan Documents. Borrower has no reason to believe that any such statements or reports are untrue or incorrect in any material manner.

(t)    To Borrower’s knowledge, the Underlying Loan Borrower is not a Prohibited Person. Neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates holds any equity interest in Underlying Loan Borrower.

To Borrower’s knowledge, there has been no change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make the financial statements, reports, certificates or other documents submitted in connection with the Loan inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect, in each case as of the date the same were submitted, or that otherwise could reasonably be anticipated to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

All of the representations and warranties in this Article 4 and elsewhere in the Credit Documents (a) shall survive the funding or repayment of the Loan and (b) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Administrative Agent and the Lenders notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their respective behalves.

(b)    A Prohibited Transfer shall include, but not be limited to, (i) an installment sale agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Collateral or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger, consolidation or Transfer of such corporation’s stock or the creation or issuance of new stock in one or a series of transactions; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a limited or general partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a general partner or the Transfer of the partnership interest of any general or limited partner or any profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interests or the creation or issuance of new partnership interests; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a managing member or non-member manager (or if no managing member, any member) or the Transfer of the membership interest of any member or any profits or proceeds relating to such membership interest; (v) if a Restricted Party is a trust or nominee trust, any merger, consolidation or the Transfer of the legal or beneficial interest in a Restricted Party or the creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial interests; and (vi) any sale, syndication, participation or assignment of the Underlying Loan (other than to Administrative Agent and the Lenders).

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1(a) and (b), none of the following Transfers shall be deemed to be a Prohibited Transfer (each such Transfer, together with a Prohibited Transfer that is consented to by Administrative Agent is a “Permitted Transfer” and collectively, the “Permitted Transfers”): (i) a transfer by devise or descent or by operation of law upon the death of a member, partner or shareholder of a Restricted Party; (ii) the Transfer, in one or a series of transactions after the date hereof, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock, limited partnership interests or non-managing membership interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party; provided, however, any such Transfer shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) no such Transfer shall result in a change in Control in the Restricted Party, (B) no Transfer shall be made to any Prohibited Person or any Person that is not in compliance with Section 4.12, (C) Administrative Agent shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed Transfer; (iii) any Transfer of the stock in any publicly traded company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or such other nationally recognized stock exchange; and (iv) subject to this Agreement, Transfers of interests in the Project (including leases of the Project or the Underlying Loan Borrower[s] permitted

(d)    Upon Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall deliver all appropriate papers, certificates and affidavits requested by Administrative Agent that evidence the organization, good standing, qualification to do business and tax status of the transferee, which papers, certificates and affidavits shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of transferee and updated organizational charts reflecting such transfer, as well as all documents and information requested by Administrative Agent to confirm that such proposed transfer will satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and sufficient for Administrative Agent and each Lender to undertake and review background checks and to satisfy such “know-your-customer” background checks and procedures as may be required to be performed by it pursuant to Requirements of Law or the policies of Administrative Agent or any Lender and to confirm that after giving effect to such Transfer that no Person holding 10% or more of the direct or indirect interests in Borrower and/or rights to distributions from Borrower, Borrower’s manager or Borrower’s member(s) shall be a Prohibited Person or otherwise a Person with whom Administrative Agent or any Lender would be prohibited, pursuant to Requirements of Law or the policies of Administrative Agent or any Lender, to engage in the transactions under the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this Section 6.1(d) shall not apply to any Transfer of less than a 10% direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower.

(e)    All out of pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with a Permitted Transfer or a request for a consent to a Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Administrative Agent consents to the Prohibited Transfer, shall be payable by Borrower. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable upon a Prohibited Transfer made without Administrative Agent’s consent.

Section 6.2    Taxes. Borrower shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged, before delinquency, or adequately reserve for the payment of, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies (the “Taxes”) imposed upon it or upon its income and profits or upon the Underlying Loan, except for any such Taxes or other claims as are contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves are provided.

extent Borrower’s consent to the foregoing is required under the Underlying Loan Documents. This Section 6.4 shall not impose a consent requirement on Borrower if Underlying Loan Borrower is permitted to act/refrain from acting without Borrower’s consent pursuant to the Underlying Loan Documents.

If, as of any Determination Date, Borrower is not in compliance with Section 6.13(a), such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Borrower, within 55 days following such Determination Date, makes a prepayment of principal in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 79% (or, if an Event of Default is then in existence, 100%) of the corresponding prepayment made by Underlying Loan Borrower and (ii) an amount that, if applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of such Determination Date, would have enabled Borrower to comply with the applicable covenant.

Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not engage in any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement and except on an arm’s-length basis on terms which are intrinsically fair and no less favorable than would be available for unaffiliated third parties, and pursuant to written, enforceable agreements.

Borrower shall diligently enforce its legal rights (as selected by Borrower in its good faith business judgment and otherwise in its sole discretion) with respect to such default.

(g)    Within forty-five (45) days following the occurrence of an Underlying Loan Event of Default, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a proposed plan for resolving such Underlying Loan Event of Default (each such plan, a “Resolution Plan”), which shall include a description of the action that Borrower intends to take with respect to such Underlying Loan Event of Default (and may, if the intended action is a waiver of such Underlying Loan Event of Default or an amendment of the Underlying Loan Event Documents, be in the form of a request for consent to the proposed waiver or amendment, as the case may be, to the extent required under Section 6.20(e)) and a description of any remedy (including any Material Remedy, if applicable) that Borrower intends to exercise, and, if such Resolution Plan contemplates a Material Remedy, shall be accompanied by (i) a current environmental report and (ii) a current Appraisal of the Project.

(h)    No Affiliate of Borrower shall become a maker, mortgagor, guarantor, or other person obligated with respect to any Underlying Loan (provided, however, that an Affiliate of Borrower shall be permitted to obtain Control of Underlying Loan Borrower by exercising its rights under any equity pledge securing the Underlying Loan) or become a property manager for [any/the] Project.

(m)    Borrower shall not consent to (and shall make commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit Underlying Loan Borrower from undertaking) any of the following actions: (i) any transfer of the Primary License required to operate the Project as an assisted living and memory care facility (other than to Borrower, an Affiliate of Borrower or a receiver in connection with the exercise of a Material Remedy); (ii) any rescission, withdrawal, revocation or amendment of any such Primary License in such a manner that results in a material adverse effect on the rates charged or otherwise diminish or impair the nature, tenor or scope of such Primary License; (iii) any reduction of the Project’s authorized units/beds capacity or the number of Residential Units permitted under such Primary License or otherwise approved by the State Regulator, if applicable; (iv) any change of any Residential Unit used for memory care to a Residential Unit used for assisted living or independent living purposes; (v) any transfer of all or any part of the Project’s Residential Units to another site or location; or (vi) any voluntarily transfer (or encouraging of any transfer) by any resident of the Project to any other facility, unless such transfer is (A) at the request of the resident, (B) for reasons relating to the health, required level of medical care or safety of the resident to be transferred or the residents remaining at the facility or (C) as a result of the disruptive behavior of the transferred resident that is detrimental to the facility.

(b)    Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the Underlying Loan Documents with respect to Underlying Loan Borrower’s obligation to maintain all insurance coverage required by the applicable Underlying Loan Documents, including any flood hazard insurance in such amounts as may be required by the applicable Underlying Loan Documents. Borrower shall monitor the flood zone status of the Project and, if the Project shall become located within a Special Flood Hazard Area, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the Underlying Loan Documents with respect to Underlying Loan Borrower’s obligation to cause flood hazard insurance to be maintained with respect to the Project in the amount required by the Underlying Loan Documents.

(c)    If the Underlying Loan Borrower fails to maintain any insurance coverage required under the applicable Underlying Loan Documents, prior to the lapse of any such Insurance Policies then maintained by or for the benefit of the Underlying Loan Borrower and otherwise in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain (i) special form coverage on the Project in amounts maintained in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and (ii) such other insurance as provided in the related Underlying Loan Documents, including, without limitation, flood hazard insurance with respect to the Project located within a Special Flood Hazard Area, in an amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable law and governmental regulation.

Section 6.22    Forfeiture.

If Borrower fails to comply with the Patriot Act or any such requirements of Governmental Authorities, then Administrative Agent may, at its option, cause Borrower to comply therewith and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall be secured by the Collateral and shall be immediately due and payable.

Section 6.24    Servicing.

(a)    Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the Underlying Loan to be serviced by Servicer in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices.

Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Administrative Agent harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, losses and demands whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from or relating to any instruction given by Administrative Agent during any period in which an Event of Default is in existence or connection with the exercise of remedies by Administrative Agent, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent.

Section 8.3    Administrative Agent’s Rights. At any time after any Event of Default has occurred and is in existence, without limiting the general rights and remedies granted under Section 8.2, Administrative Agent, in Administrative Agent’s discretion or with the approval or at the direction of the Required Lenders, may also do any of the following:

(a)    Foreclose upon or otherwise enforce its security interest in and Lien on the Collateral, or on such portions or elements of it as Administrative Agent shall elect to proceed against from time to time.

(b)    Deliver written notice to Underlying Loan Borrower instructing Underlying Loan Borrower to make all payments under the Underlying Loan Documents to a deposit account designated by Administrative Agent, and to apply such amounts to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and any other amounts owing by Borrower hereunder as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c)    Instruct Borrower or any Servicer to pay all Underlying Loan Collections to Administrative Agent. All such Underlying Loan Collections received by Administrative Agent shall be retained by Administrative Agent and applied by Administrative Agent to the aggregate outstanding principal balance and any other amounts owing by Borrower hereunder as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d)    Obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records and the Underlying Loan Files, and Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent such assignments as Administrative Agent shall request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Borrower contained in this Agreement.

(e)    Exercise the rights set forth in Section 6.20(e).

(f)    At Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, settle, compromise, or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral, on terms acceptable to Administrative Agent; enforce payment and performance and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all Collateral; and where any such Collateral is in default, foreclose on and enforce Liens or security interests in, such Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process and sell property acquired as a result of any such foreclosure.

(g)    At Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, act, or contract with one or more third Persons to act, as servicer of each item of Collateral requiring servicing and perform all obligations required in connection with any servicing agreements to which Borrower is a party, and Borrower hereby agrees to pay such third Persons’ fees to the extent (if any) that Administrative Agent is unable, despite reasonable efforts made by Administrative Agent in light of the necessity that there be no material break in the continuity of servicing, to contract for such servicing and performance of such obligations for fees equal to or less than the fees under such servicing agreements.

(h)    Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC, as adopted in the State of New York and any other relevant state, including selling the interests of Borrower

in the Collateral at public or private sale. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower not less than ten (10) days’ written notice of any such public sale or of the date after which private sale may be held. Borrower agrees that ten (10) days’ written notice shall be reasonable notice. At any such sale any or all of the Collateral may be sold as an entirety or in separate parts, as Administrative Agent may determine. Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. Administrative Agent is authorized at any such sale, if Administrative Agent deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any of the Collateral. Borrower specifically agrees that any such sale, whether public or private, of any Collateral pursuant to the commitment of any investor to purchase such Collateral that was obtained by (or with the approval of) Borrower will be commercially reasonable, and if such sale is for the price provided for in such commitment, then such sale shall be held to be for value reasonably equivalent to the value of the Collateral so sold. Upon any such sale, Administrative Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Borrower have or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case of such purchaser’s failure to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. However, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, although only with the approval or at the direction of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to collect all amounts due upon the Collateral or to foreclose the pledge and sell the Collateral or any portion of it under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, or both. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as Borrower’s waiver of, or agreement to waive, any requirement imposed by applicable law that any sale of the Collateral be commercially reasonable.

(i)    If the Underlying Loan Borrower has failed to maintain the Insurance Policies, and Borrower has not obtained replacement coverage, Administrative Agent, at its option and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, obtain insurance coverage for the Project[s] on terms and conditions satisfactory to Administrative. The expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and the premiums payable in connection with such replacement insurance policies, shall constitute Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral.

(j)    Exercise any other rights and remedies available at law.

Section 8.4    Deposit Accounts. During any period in which an Event of Default is in existence, Administrative Agent may exercise its rights under each Deposit Account Control Agreement and apply the funds on deposit therein for payment of debt service, impounds, escrows, reserves and other amounts required to be paid to Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Credit Documents as the same become due and payable and, upon acceleration of the Loan, to the Indebtedness and the other Obligations.

Section 8.5    No Liability of Administrative Agent or Lenders. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part of it, at any private sale. Borrower hereby waives any claims it may have against Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price that might have

been obtained at a public sale, less than the price that might have been obtained had the Collateral been sold pursuant to a purchase commitment for it obtained by Borrower, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

Section 8.6    Waivers by Borrower. Borrower waives any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Collateral in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power. Except to the extent, if any, required by applicable law, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower against holders of Underlying Loan Mortgages or security interests prior in lien to the Lien of any Underlying Loan Mortgage included in the Collateral, to preserve rights against prior parties or to preserve rights against other parties to purchase commitments or servicing agreements.

Section 8.7    Rights of Administrative Agent to Take Actions. Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the Lien and priority of any Lien instrument included in the Collateral or the security intended to be afforded by it, including payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums, or to preserve or reinstate any hedging arrangements or mechanisms. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or in its enforcement, together with interest thereon, at the Contract Rate from the time of demand for its payment until ten (10) days thereafter, and at the Default Rate from ten (10) days after demand until repaid, shall become a part of principal balance outstanding under the Notes (pro rata with the respective principal balances of the Notes at the time of expenditure) and shall be secured by all security for the Notes.

Section 8.8    No Waiver. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided under any of the Credit Documents, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right, power or remedy provided under any of the Credit Documents, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

Section 9.1    Appointment and Duties.

(a)    Each Lender hereby appoints CONA (together with any successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.9) as Administrative Agent hereunder and authorizes Administrative Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Credit Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from Borrower or any other Borrower Party, (ii) take such action on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent under such Credit Documents, and (iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Credit Documents (including in any

proceeding described in Section 7.7 or Section 7.8 or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each Person making any payment in connection with any Credit Document to any Secured Party is hereby authorized to make such payment to Administrative Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of the Secured Parties with respect to any Obligation in any proceeding described in Section 7.7 or Section 7.8 or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Secured Party), (iii) act as collateral agent for each Secured Party for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Credit Documents, (vi) except as may be otherwise specified in any Credit Document, exercise all remedies given to Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Credit Documents, applicable law or otherwise, (vii) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Credit Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver; provided that Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Administrative Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit account maintained by Borrower with, and cash and cash equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed and (viii) provide each Lender within ten (10) Business Days following receipt, copies of the reports and financial information received from Borrower under Article 5 and notices of default delivered by or received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(c)    Administrative Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except to the limited extent provided in Section 2.11(b) with respect to the Register and in Section 9.10), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent”, the terms “agent”, “administrative agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Credit Document to refer to Administrative Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (ii) is not assuming any obligation under any Credit Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or any other Secured Party and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Credit Document, and each Lender hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Administrative Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

(d)    The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Credit Documents. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys in fact or third parties selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and Administrative Agent and the Lenders may modify, amend or waive such provisions of this Article 9 in their sole and absolute discretion.

Section 9.2    Binding Effect. Each Lender agrees that (a) any action taken by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater

proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents, (b) any action taken by Administrative Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (c) the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) 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 Secured Parties.

Section 9.3    Use of Discretion.

(a)    Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take, or to omit to take, any action, including with respect to enforcement or collection, except any action it is required to take or omit to take (i) under any Credit Document or (ii) pursuant to instructions from the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders).

(b)    Notwithstanding clause (a) of this Section 9.3, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party) against all Liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or any Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of Administrative Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Credit Document or any applicable Requirement of Law.

Section 9.4    Delegation of Rights and Duties. Administrative Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Credit Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Secured Party). Any such Person shall benefit from this Article 9 to the extent provided by Administrative Agent.

Section 9.5    Liability. None of Administrative Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Credit Document, and each Lender and Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Borrower Parties) hereby waives and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(a)    shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement, or any other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender;

(b)    shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of Administrative Agent, when acting on behalf of Administrative Agent);

(c)    shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Credit Document;

(d)    makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Secured Party for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Related Person or any Borrower Party in connection with any Credit Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to any Borrower Party, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Credit Document to be transmitted to the Lenders) omitted to be transmitted by Administrative Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Administrative Agent in connection with the Credit Documents; and

(e)    shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Credit Document, whether any condition set forth in any Credit Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Borrower Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Potential Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from Borrower, any Lender describing such Potential Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders).

For each of the items set forth in clauses (a) through (e) above, each Lender hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Administrative Agent based thereon.

Section 9.6    Administrative Agent Individually. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire stock and stock equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, Borrower or any other Borrower Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender,” and “Required Lender,” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Credit Document, include Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, respectively.

Section 9.7    Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and each other Borrower Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Credit Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Credit Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Credit Document to be transmitted by Administrative Agent to the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Borrower Party or any Affiliate of Borrower or any other Borrower Party that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons.

Section 9.8    Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)    Administrative Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no

such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective. If Administrative Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders.

(b)    Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Administrative Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Credit Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Administrative Agent was, or because such Administrative Agent had been, validly acting as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 9.3, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.

(c)    Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent upon the request of all Lenders (other than Affiliates of Administrative Agent) upon the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that Administrative Agent has committed actions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct under this Agreement. The provisions of subsection (b) above shall apply upon such removal.

Section 9.9    Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Credit Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent) this Article 9, Section 10.7 (Right of Setoff; Sharing of Payments), Section 2.13(b) (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) and Section 10.35 (Non-Public Information; Confidentiality; Disclosure) and the decisions and actions of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 9.12 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of Proportionate Share or similar concept, (b) except as set forth specifically herein, each of Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as set forth specifically herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Credit Document.

Section 9.10    Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, facsimile, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and

to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

Section 9.11    Rights as a Lender. With respect to CONA’s Loan Commitment, if any, and the advances of the Loan made by it, CONA (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. CONA (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and CONA and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 9.12    Standard of Care; Indemnification. In performing its duties under the Credit Documents, Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as Administrative Agent normally exercises in connection with similar loans held for its own account, but Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct which resulted in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by Administrative Agent to comply with any of Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Credit Documents or otherwise. The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Sections 10.5 or 10.11, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Sections 10.5 or 10.11) ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Proportionate Share, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 10.11, but excluding, unless an Event of Default is in existence, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section.

Section 9.13    Failure to Act. Except for actions expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Credit Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 9.12 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.”

Section 9.14    The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE

ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM ANY MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of any materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower through the internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Section 9.15    Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder, under any other Credit Document.

Section 9.16    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

Section 9.17    No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 1020.220 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with Borrower or any other loan parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with Government Lists, (iv) customer notices, or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Anti-Terrorism Law.

Section 10.1    Notices.

(a)    Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and either shall be mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or

sent by overnight air courier service, or personally delivered to a representative of the receiving party, or, if a facsimile number or e-mail address is provided for such Person below, sent by facsimile or e-mail (provided an identical notice is also sent simultaneously by mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1), as applicable. All such communications shall be mailed, sent or delivered, addressed to the party for whom it is intended at its address set forth below.

Any notice or request so addressed and sent by United States registered or certified mail or overnight courier shall be deemed to be given on the earliest of (a) when actually delivered, (b) on the first Business Day after deposit with an overnight air courier service, or (c)  on the third Business Day after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, in each case to the address of the intended addressee. Any notice or request so delivered in person shall be deemed to be given when receipted for by, or actually received by Administrative Agent, a Lender, or Borrower, as the case may be. If given by facsimile, a notice or request shall be deemed given and received when the facsimile is transmitted to the party’s facsimile number specified above and confirmation of complete receipt is received by the transmitting party during normal business hours or on the next Business Day if not confirmed during normal business hours, and

an identical notice is also sent simultaneously by mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1. If given by electronic mail, a notice shall be deemed given and received when the electronic mail is transmitted to the recipient’s electronic mail address specified above and electronic confirmation of receipt (either by reply from the recipient or by automated response to a request for delivery receipt) is received by the sending party during normal business hours or on the next Business Day if not confirmed during normal business hours, and an identical notice is also sent simultaneously by mail, overnight courier or personal delivery as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1. Except for facsimile and electronic mail notices sent as expressly described above, no notice hereunder shall be effective if sent or delivered by electronic means. Either party may designate a change of address by written notice to the other by giving at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such change of address.

(b)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by posting on the Platform or by other electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender if such Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by them, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that any notice or other communication has been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such communication to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(c)    Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Section 10.2    Amendments and Waivers.

(a)    No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Credit Document and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Borrower Party therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (1) in the case of an amendment, consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or granting a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extending an existing Lien over additional property, by Administrative Agent and Borrower, (2) in the case of any other waiver or consent, by the Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (3) in the case of any other amendment, by the Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders) and Borrower; provided that no amendment, consent or waiver described in clause (2) or (3) above shall be effective, unless in writing and signed by each Lender (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of the Lenders), in addition to any other Person the signature of which is otherwise required pursuant to any Credit Document, and such amendment, consent or waiver does any of the following:

(i)    waives any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, except any condition referring to any other provision of any Credit Document;

(ii)    increases the Commitment of any Lender or subjects any Lender to any additional obligation or otherwise increases the principal amount of the Loan;

(iii)    reduces (including through release, forgiveness, assignment or otherwise) (A) the principal amount of, the interest rate on, or any obligation of Borrower to repay (whether or not on a fixed date), any outstanding amount under the Loan owing to Lenders or (B) any fee or accrued interest payable to any Lender; provided that this clause (iii) does not apply to (x) any change to any provision increasing any interest rate or fee while an Event of Default is in existence or to any payment of any such increase or (y) any modification to any financial covenant set forth herein or in the Guaranty or in in any definition set forth therein or principally used therein;

(iv)    waives or postpones any scheduled maturity date or other scheduled date fixed for the payment, in whole or in part, of principal of or interest on the Loan (including any agreement to forbear that would have the same effect) or fee owing to such Lender or for the reduction of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that this clause (iv) does not apply to any change to mandatory prepayments, including those required under Section 2.4(b), or to the application of any payment, including as set forth in Section 2.9;

(v)    releases all or substantially all of the Collateral or any Guarantor from its guaranty of any Obligation of Borrower;

(vi)    reduces or increases the proportion of Lenders required for the Lenders (or any subset thereof) to take any action hereunder or change the definition of the terms “Required Lenders” or “Proportionate Share”; or

(vii)    amends Section 2.13(b) (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) or this Section 10.2;

(b)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) any waiver of any payment applied pursuant to Section 2.6 (Application of Payments) to, and any modification of the application of any such payment to the Loan shall require the consent of the Required Lenders, (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties under any Credit Document of, or any payment to, Administrative Agent (or otherwise modify any provision of Article 9 or the application thereof), and (C) (1) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (y) the outstanding balance of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan may not be forgiven without the consent of such Lender, and (z) the interest rate on the Loan cannot be reduced unless the Defaulting Lender is treated the same as all other Lenders; (2) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy or insolvency reorganization plan that affects the Loan; (3) each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (4) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(c)    Each waiver or consent under any Credit Document (including the Guaranty) shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower or any other Borrower Party shall entitle such Person to any notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a

waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. If the consent of any Lender is required with respect to any amendment or waiver of any Credit Document under the terms of this Section 10.2, each Lender will respond to any such request in a commercially reasonable manner and timeframe.

(d)    A Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any matter (including any waiver, consent or amendment) for which its approval is required under this Agreement unless such Lender objects by written notice to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days following Administrative Agent’s written request for such approval.

Section 10.3    Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a)    Binding Effect. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided that neither Borrower nor any other Borrower Party shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Lenders, assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder to any other Person.

(b)    Assignments by the Lenders. Each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Loan Commitment and its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (so long as such Person would not, upon acceptance of such rights and obligations hereunder, constitute a Defaulting Lender) or (iii) any other Person (other than Borrower, Guarantor or an Affiliate thereof) acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Administrative Agent (each such transferee, assignee or purchaser herein called a “Lender Transferee”); provided, however, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender may participate or assign any of its rights under this Agreement to a Prohibited Assignee; provided further that the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption) of the Loan subject to any such transfer, sale or assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such transfer, sale or assignment is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in the Loan or is made with the prior consent of Administrative Agent and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, any such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment shall be at no cost or expense to Borrower (provided, however, that Borrower shall be solely responsible for the costs and expenses, if any, of any legal counsel engaged by Borrower in connection therewith). A Defaulting Lender may not sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder except with Administrative Agent’s consent or at Administrative Agent’s direction. A Defaulting Lender (or Person that would constitute a Defaulting Lender upon acceptance of rights and obligations hereunder) may not be the recipient of the sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment of any rights or obligations hereunder except with the consent of Administrative Agent.

(c)    Assignment Procedures. The parties to each transfer, sale or assignment made in reliance on clause (b) above shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system designated by Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption) evidencing such transfer, sale or assignment, together with any existing Note subject to such transfer, sale or assignment (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Administrative Agent), any tax forms or other forms required to be delivered by Administrative Agent, and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, provided that

(1) if a transfer, sale or assignment by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such transfer, sale or assignment, and (2) if transfer, sale or assignment by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 (unless waived by Administrative Agent), shall be due in connection with such transfer, sale or assignment. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 10.3(b), upon Administrative Agent consenting to such Assignment and Assumption, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment and Assumption.

(d)    Participations.

(i)    A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of the Proportionate Share of the Loan held by it, or in its Loan Commitment, provided that such Participant shall not have any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Note or any other Credit Document (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreements executed by such Lender and the applicable Participant). All amounts payable by Borrower to any Lender under Section 2.6 in respect of its Proportionate Share and its Loan Commitment shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participations in the Loan and its Loan Commitment, and as if such Lender were funding its Proportionate Share of the Loan (if applicable) and its Loan Commitment in the same way that it is funding its Proportionate Share of the Loan and its Loan Commitment in which no participations have been sold.

(ii)    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 subsections (i) through (vii) of Section 10.2(a) that affects such Participant.

(iii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)    Effect of Assignment. Subject to the recording of an Assignment and Assumption by Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(b), (i) the assignee thereunder

shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Credit Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Loan Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article 9, Section 10.7 (Right of Setoff; Sharing of Payments) and Section 10.35 (Non-Public Information; Confidentiality; Disclosure).

(f)    Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3 (but without being subject thereto):

(i)    Any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Proportionate Share of the Loan and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Proportionate Share of the Loan and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(ii)    Any Lender may pledge its Proportionate Share of the Loan and its Note to any Person that has provided a credit facility or source of liquidity to such Lender. No such pledge shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. Any subsequent assignment upon the exercise of pledge remedies shall be subject to the terms of Section 10.3(b).

(g)    Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower or any of its Affiliates in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Lender Transferees and Participants (including prospective Lender Transferees and Participants)

(h)    No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of each Lender.

Section 10.4    Renewal, Extension or Rearrangement. Subject to Section 10.9, all provisions of the Credit Documents shall apply with equal effect to each and all promissory notes and amendments thereof hereinafter executed which in whole or in part represent a renewal, extension, increase or rearrangement of the Loan.

Section 10.5    Indemnities.

(a)    Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender, their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against all Liabilities imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person, whether brought by a third party or any Borrower Party, by reason of (i) credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and

any actions or failures to act in connection therewith; (ii) following Borrower’s acquisition of title to [a/the] Project and delivery of the REO Mortgage with respect thereto (it being understood and agreed by Administrative Agent and Lenders that, for the purposes of this clause (ii) only, recourse for any such liability shall be limited to Borrower and its assets (and shall be without recourse to Guarantor)): (A) ownership of [the/such] Project or any interest therein or receipt of any rents and the exercise of rights and remedies thereunder; (B) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about [the/such] Project or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (C) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about [the/such] Project or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; and (D) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of [the/such] Project or any part thereof; (iii) the failure of any Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-B, Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with this Agreement, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the transaction in connection with which this Agreement is made; (iv) any securities filing of, or with respect to, Borrower, any other Borrower Party or [the/such] Project; (v) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person and any contractual obligation entered into in connection with any Platform; (vi) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Persons, any holders of securities or creditors, whether or not any such Indemnified Person, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirements of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise; (vii) all sums paid by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.6, or (viii) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters” and, each, an “Indemnified Matter”); provided, however, that Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 10.5 to any Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnified Person shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, any actions or omissions of the Underlying Loan Borrower or, except as otherwise expressly set forth in clause (ii) above, in any manner relating to the Project[s]. Furthermore, Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower Party) waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnified Person any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.

(b)    Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnified Person pursuant to any Credit Document and all representations and warranties made in any Credit Document shall (i) survive the termination of the Loan Commitment and the payment in full of other Obligations, and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnified Person or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.

(c)    In no event shall any Indemnified Person be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Borrower Parties) hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 10.6    Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, is solely that of

debtor and creditor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Borrower Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and Borrower and any other Borrower Party by virtue of, any Credit Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

Section 10.7    Right of Setoff; Sharing of Payments.

(a)    Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender, and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by Borrower), at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default is in existence and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any Obligation of any Borrower Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Credit Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. Each of Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 10.7 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have.

(b)    If any Lender, directly or through an affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of Borrower or any other Borrower Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 2.8 (Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality) and Section 2.9 (Interest Rate Protection) and Section 2.4(d) (Breakage Amount) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 10.8    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Borrower Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from any Borrower Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 10.9    Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent and any Lender or charged by Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State of Illinois and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Credit Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited on the Note by the holder thereof (or, if the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note has been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (b) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Administrative Agent, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Credit Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Note (or, if the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note has been paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 10.9 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Credit Documents. The Credit Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Administrative Agent or the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State of Illinois (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which Administrative Agent or the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Credit Documents.

Section 10.10    Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Credit Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Credit Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Credit Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.

Section 10.11    Reimbursement of Expenses. Any action taken by any Borrower Party under or with respect to any Credit Document, even if required under any Credit Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Borrower Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Credit Document to reimburse any Borrower Party therefor except as expressly provided therein. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Credit Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to Administrative Agent or such Related Persons, fees, costs and

expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks® or any other Platform and allocated to the Loan by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and fees, charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers, printers and other of their Related Persons retained by or on behalf of any of them or any of their Related Persons, charges for wire transfers and check processing charges, charges for security delivery fees, charges for overnight delivery, recording fees, treasury, management and other service fees and overdraft charges, (b) Administrative Agent and each Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by them or any of their Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations, financial investigation, and Collateral examinations, including any tax service company (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by Administrative Agent for its examiners), (c) each of Administrative Agent, its Related Persons, and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy with respect to any Obligation, the Collateral or under any Credit Document, or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Borrower Party, any Credit Document, any Obligation or related transaction (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel), (d) costs incurred in connection with settlement of condemnation and casualty awards, premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, and (e) fees and costs for UCC and litigation searches and background checks.

Section 10.12    Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. All approval rights retained or exercised by Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that Administrative Agent or the Lenders have passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Administrative Agent (and its successors and permitted assigns), the Lenders (and their successors and permitted assigns and participants), and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Administrative Agent (and its successors and permitted assigns), the Lenders (and their successors and permitted assigns and participants), and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that any Lender will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by any Lender at any time in such Lender’s sole discretion.

Section 10.13    Administrative Agent and Lenders Not in Control; No Partnership. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Administrative Agent or the Lenders the right or power to exercise Control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the power of Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Credit Documents. No covenant or provision of the Credit Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed to, and Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower disclaim any intention to, create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income among Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any of them, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, or to create an equity interest in the Project[s] in Administrative Agent or any Lender. None of Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other

Person with respect to the Project[s] or the Loan, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Credit Documents: (a) none of Administrative Agent or any Lender are, and shall not be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, Controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or Borrower’s stockholders, members, or partners and Administrative Agent and the Lenders do not intend to ever assume such status; (b) Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall in no event be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (c) Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or Borrower’s stockholders, members, or partners.

Section 10.17    Waivers.

(a)    No course of dealing on the part of Administrative Agent or the Lenders or their respective officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

(b)    Borrower hereby waives any right under the UCC or any other applicable law to receive notice or copies of any filed or recorded financing statements, amendments thereto, continuations thereof or termination statements and releases and excuses Administrative Agent and each Lender from any obligation under the UCC or any other applicable law to provide notice or a copy of any such filed or recorded documents.

Section 10.18    Cumulative Rights; Joint and Several Liability. Rights and remedies of Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) under the Credit Documents shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy. If more than one person or entity has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the obligations of all such persons or entities hereunder shall be joint and several.

Section 10.20    Singular and Plural. Words used in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, in the singular, where the context so permits, shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa.

All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities hereunder, under the indemnification provisions of the other Credit Documents, shall survive the repayment in full of the Loan and the release of the liens evidencing or securing the Loan, and shall survive the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Collateral to any party, whether or not an Affiliate of Borrower.

Section 10.25    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND EACH LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY OR ANY EXERCISE BY ANY PARTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOAN OR THE PROJECT[S] (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE).

Section 10.28    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Administrative Agent and each Lender

and Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.

The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any permitted facsimile, portable document format (.pdf), electronic record or Electronic Signature. The words “execution,” “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this paragraph shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures and the use and keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures and the use of paper records and paper-based recordkeeping systems, 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, state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, the Illinois Electronic Commerce Security Act, or any other similar state laws.

Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and each Lender to disclose information about Borrower and any other Borrower Party that Administrative Agent or such Lender may at any time possess to any Affiliate of a Lender or Administrative Agent, whether such information was supplied by Borrower or otherwise obtained by Administrative Agent or the Lender; provided to the extent Administrative Agent or any Lender receives material non-public information hereunder concerning Borrower, the Borrower Parties, and their Affiliates, Administrative Agent and Lenders agree to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and contractual obligations and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state security laws and regulations).

Section 10.36    Component Notes. Administrative Agent, without in any way limiting Administrative Agent’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to execute and deliver “component” notes (including senior and junior notes) in replacement of the Notes as evidence of the Loan, which notes may be paid in such order of priority as may be designated by Administrative Agent, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such “component” notes shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, plus any committed but unfunded Loan proceeds, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (iii) the Debt Service on all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the Debt Service which was due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes and (iv) the other terms and provisions of each of the “component” notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the Credit Documents. Borrower, at its cost and expense, shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Administrative Agent in order to establish the “component” notes and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, including the severance of security documents if requested. If Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days following such request by Administrative Agent, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an

interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.

Section 10.37    Waivers. No waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, provided that a written waiver signed by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be deemed to have been signed by the Lenders.

Section 10.38    Post-Closing Obligations of Borrower. Notwithstanding the fact that Borrower has not satisfied certain of the conditions to the advance of the Loan proceeds as of the Closing Date, Lenders have agreed to advance the proceeds of the Loan to Borrower, subject to the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Schedule 10.38 attached hereto (the “Post-Closing Obligations”).

Section 10.39    Limitation on Liability of Lender’s Officers, Employees, etc. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of Administrative Agent or any Lender which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s assets only. No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of any of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s shareholders, members, directors, officers, managers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
