§2. THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.

§2.1 Commitment to Lend. Subject to the provisions of §2.4 and the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Banks severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow from each Bank from time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.4, such sums as are requested by the Borrower up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Bank’s Commitment minus, without double counting, an amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage multiplied by the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans and Bid Rate Loans plus (y) all Reimbursement Obligations to the extent not yet deemed Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §3.3 and the Maximum Drawing Amount; provided that the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and, without double-counting the portion, if any, of any Letter of Credit which is drawn and included in the

-27-

Revolving Credit Loans or the Maximum Drawing Amount, all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, plus all outstanding Swingline Loans, plus all outstanding Bid Rate Loans, shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment and provided, further, that at the time the Borrower requests a Revolving Credit Loan and after giving effect to the making thereof: (i) in the case of any borrowing, all of the conditions in §13 (and in the case of any initial borrowing or other extension of credit on the Closing Date, also the conditions in §12) have been met at the time of such request, and (ii) there has not occurred and is not continuing (or will not occur by reason thereof) any Default or Event of Default; it being acknowledged and agreed that the Borrower shall be permitted to request and borrow Loans if a Non-Material Breach (rather than a Default or Event of Default) exists.

The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Bank’s Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to §2.4 shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in §12 have been satisfied (except to the extent any such condition has been waived and/or deferred in writing by the Agent and the required number of Banks) as of the Closing Date and that the conditions set forth in §13 have been satisfied (except to the extent any such condition has been waived and/or deferred in writing by the Agent and the required number of Banks) on the date of such request and will be satisfied (except to the extent any such condition has been waived and/or deferred in writing by the Agent and the required number of Banks) on the proposed Drawdown Date of the requested Loan or issuance of Letter of Credit, as the case may be, provided that the making of such representation and warranty by the Borrower shall not limit the right of any Bank not to lend if such conditions have not been met. No Revolving Credit Loan or other extension of credit shall be required to be made by any Bank unless (in connection with the initial Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit or other extension of credit) all of the conditions contained in §12 have been satisfied (except to the extent any such condition has been waived and/or deferred in writing by the Agent and the required number of Banks) as of the Closing Date and unless all of the conditions set forth in §13 have been met at the time of any request for a Revolving Credit Loan or other extension of credit (except to the extent any such condition has been waived and/or deferred in writing by the Agent and the required number of Banks).

§2.2. The Revolving Credit Notes. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. A Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Bank in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Bank’s Revolving Credit Notes, an appropriate notation on such Bank’s applicable Note Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such applicable Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the

-28-

Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.

§2.3. Interest on Revolving Credit Loans; Facility Fee.

(a) Each Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto (unless earlier paid in accordance with §4.2) at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Prime Rate Margin.

(b) Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto (unless earlier paid in accordance with §4.2) at a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin.

(c) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest on each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the accounts of the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at the rate, expressed in basis points on the Total Commitment, which shall vary from time to time in relationship to variances in the Debt Ratings as set forth in the following table:


S&P	Moody’s	Facility Fee (bps)
A-or above	A3 or above	10.0
BBB+	Baa1	12.5
BBB	Baa2	15.0
BBB-	Baa3	20.0
Below BBB- or unrated	Below Baa3 or unrated	25.0

In the event only one of S&P or Moody’s is one of the two Rating Agencies as required hereunder at the time of reference, the Debt Rating from the other Rating Agency for purposes of establishing the Facility Fee (bps) shall be the rating level utilized by such other Rating Agency which corresponds to the comparable rating levels set forth in the table above. In the event the Debt Ratings from the Rating Agencies are not equivalent, the Facility Fee (bps) will be determined (i) based on the higher of the two Debt Ratings if the lower Debt Rating is no more than one level lower than the higher Debt Rating, and (ii) based on the level that is one rating level higher than the lower Debt Rating if the lower Debt Rating is more than one level lower than the higher Debt Rating. Adjustments in the Facility Fee (bps) based upon a change in a Debt Rating level shall be effective on the first day following the change in such Debt Rating.

-29-

The Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of any change in the Debt Rating as and when such change occurs.

The Facility Fee is payable in addition to all other fees due from Borrower in connection with this Agreement and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter commencing on the first such date following the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, with a final payment on the Maturity Date.

§2.4. Requests for Revolving Credit Loans.

The following provisions shall apply to each request by the Borrower for a Revolving Credit Loan:

(i) The Borrower shall submit a Completed Loan Request to the Agent and, following its receipt thereof, Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan as set forth in §2.4(v). Except as otherwise provided herein, each Completed Loan Request shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Completed Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loans requested from the Banks on the proposed Drawdown Date, unless such Completed Loan Request is withdrawn (x) in the case of a request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date for such Loan, and (y) in the case of a request for a Prime Rate Loan, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date for such Loan.

(ii) Each Completed Loan Request shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Agent by 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, and at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Prime Rate Loan, and at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(iii) Each Completed Loan Request shall include a completed writing in the form of Exhibit B hereto specifying: (1) the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan requested, (2) the proposed Drawdown Date of such Revolving Credit Loan, (3) the Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan, and (4) the Type of such Revolving Credit Loan being requested. Further, each Completed Loan Request shall contain a certification by Borrower in the form set forth in Exhibit B which certifies (among other things) that, both before and after giving effect to such requested Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit, no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist and that after taking into

-30-

account such requested Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit, no Default or Event of Default will exist as of the Drawdown Date.

(iv) No Bank shall be obligated to fund any Revolving Credit Loan or issue any Letter of Credit unless:

(a) a Completed Loan Request has been timely received by the Agent as provided in subsections (i)-(iii) above; and

(b) both before and after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Loan to be made or Letter of Credit to be issued pursuant to the Completed Loan Request, all of the conditions contained in §12 shall have been satisfied (to the extent such conditions have not been waived and/or deferred in writing by the Agent and the required number of Banks prior to the initial advance) as of the Closing Date, with respect to the initial advance only, and all of the conditions set forth in §13 shall have been met, including, without limitation, the condition under §13.1 that there be no Default or Event of Default.

(v) The Agent will use its best efforts to notify each Bank of Agent’s receipt of a Completed Loan Request on the same day it is received by the Agent and will, absent circumstances outside of its control, so notify each Bank on the Business Day following the day a Completed Loan Request is received by Agent.

(vi) In the event that, on any Drawdown Date, after giving effect to the requested Loan or Letter of Credit, Consolidated Total Indebtedness will exceed 60% (without exceeding 65%) of Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value or Unsecured Consolidated Total Indebtedness will exceed 60% (without exceeding 65%) of Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value, then Borrower shall also attach to the Completed Loan Request (or the request for a Swingline Loan or Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice, as applicable), the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit G, in accordance with §§10.1 and 10.4.

§2.5. Conversion Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type, provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, which notice must be received by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day; (ii) subject to the proviso at the end of this §2.5(a) and subject to §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), with respect to any conversion of a Prime Rate Loan

-31-

to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, which notice must be received by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Following receipt of such notice from the Borrower, Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such request by Borrower. All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Prime Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be for an amount equal to $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

(b) Any Revolving Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as such upon the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto (i) in the case of Prime Rate Loans, by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.5(a)(ii) and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, subject to the proviso at the end of this §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), automatically as set forth in §2.5(c), or by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.5(a)(ii); provided that no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but shall be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. The Borrower shall notify the Agent promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this §2.5(b) is scheduled to occur.

(c) Subject to the provisions of §2.5(a), §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), in the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan, such Loan shall be automatically converted to (or continued as) a Eurodollar Rate Loan having a 1-month Interest Period, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided, if such Revolving Credit Loan is a Prime Rate Loan made at a point when the time between the end of the initial Interest Period for such Prime Rate Loan and the making of such Prime Rate Loan is less than three (3) Eurodollar Business Days, such Prime Rate Loan shall continue as a Prime Rate Loan and not be so converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan until the end of the Interest Period for such Prime Rate Loan which next follows such Prime Rate Loan’s initial Interest Period; and provided further, however, that nothing contained in the foregoing proviso shall limit or restrict Borrower’s right to convert such Prime Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of such second Interest Period in accordance with §2.5(a)(ii).

(d) The Borrower may not request or elect a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to §2.4, elect to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to §2.5(a) or elect to continue a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(b) and a Revolving Credit Loan shall not be automatically converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, if, after giving effect thereto, there would be greater than six (6) Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding. Any Loan Request or Conversion Request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan that would create greater than six (6) Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be a Loan Request or Conversion Request for a Prime Rate Loan. By way of explanation of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower wishes to convert or continue

-32-

two or more Loans into one Eurodollar Rate Loan on the same day and for identical Interest Periods (or borrow an additional Revolving Credit Loan simultaneously with converting or continuing a Revolving Credit Loan for identical Interest Periods), such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall constitute one single Eurodollar Rate Loan for purposes of this clause (d).

§2.6. Funds for Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this §2, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan, each of the Banks will make available to the Agent, at Agent’s Funding Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loan. Upon receipt from each Bank of such amount, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loan made available to the Agent by the Banks. All such funds received by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Boston Time) on any Business Day will be made available to the Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m. on the same Business Day; funds received after such time will be made available by not later than 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day (provided that as to any Bank which is required to fund Revolving Credit Loans from its head office located in the Pacific Time Zone (U.S.), the preceding reference to ‘11:00 a.m.’ shall be deemed to be a reference to ‘1:00 p.m.’). The failure or refusal of any Bank to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan shall not relieve any other Bank from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of its Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loan but in no event shall the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) have any obligation to make any funding or shall any Bank be obligated to fund more than its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan or to increase its Commitment Percentage on account of such failure or otherwise.

(b) The Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Bank prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Bank has made available to the Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Bank makes available to the Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the average, computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Agent for federal funds acquired by the Agent during each day included in such period, multiplied by (ii) the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed from and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of which is 365. A statement of the Agent submitted to such

-33-

Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Agent by such Bank.

§2.7. Reduction of Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof or terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the then Total Commitment, whereupon the Commitments of the Banks shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages by the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks the full amount of the Facility Fee then accrued and unpaid on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated. In the event the aggregate Commitments of the Banks have been reduced to zero ($0), no Letters of Credit are then issued and outstanding hereunder, and the Loans and all other Obligations outstanding or due hereunder have been paid or repaid in full in cash, this Agreement and the revolving credit facility shall automatically terminate (except as to those provisions hereof which expressly survive such termination), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Agent and the Borrower. Agent shall promptly provide each Bank with copies of any notices received by Agent from Borrower under this §2.7.

§2.8. Swingline Loans.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and so long as the Swingline Lender does not have knowledge that any Default or Event of Default exists or will exist after giving effect to the applicable Swingline Loan, and the Borrower has delivered to the Agent a loan request in the form of Exhibit B hereto, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date to, but not including, the Swingline Termination Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested) at any time, shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment in effect at such time less the sum of (A) all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans at such time (after giving effect to all amounts requested), (B) the Maximum Drawing Amount and, without double-counting the portion, if any, of any Letter of Credit which is drawn and included in the Revolving Credit Loans or the Maximum Drawing Amount, all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations at such time, and (C) all outstanding Bid Rate Loans at such time, and (ii) the Swingline Commitment at such time. Swingline Loans hereunder may be used in anticipation of borrowing Revolving Credit Loans, Bid Rate Loans and for other short-term requirements and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Swingline Loan must be for an amount equal to at least $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000 and shall be evidenced by the Swingline Note. The Swingline Lender shall initiate the transfer of funds representing the Swingline Loan to the Borrower by 4:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing, so long as the Swingline Loan has been requested by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on such Business Day. In no event shall the number of Swingline Loans

-34-

outstanding at any time exceed three (3). All Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Prime Rate Margin. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest on each Swingline Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

(b) Repayment. The Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to repay the outstanding principal amount of each Swingline Loan and all accrued interest and charges thereon (the “Swingline Loan Amount”) on the earliest to occur of: (i) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date on which the Swingline Loan is advanced or (ii) the Swingline Termination Date; provided, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay Swingline Loans without penalty or any prepayment charge.

(i) On the maturity of each Swingline Loan (which shall be no longer than the period for repayment set forth above in §2.8(b)), the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested on such date a Revolving Credit Loan comprised solely of a Prime Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to the Swingline Loan Amount in order to repay such Swingline Loan. Such refundings of the Swingline Loan through the funding of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Banks on the books and records of the Agent.

(ii) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Banks on demand by the Swingline Lender, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested on such date of demand a Revolving Credit Loan comprised solely of a Prime Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to the Swingline Loan Amount for such Swingline Loans. Such refundings of the Swingline Loans through the funding of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Banks on the books and records of the Agent.

(iii) Each Bank shall fund its respective Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to so repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon such deemed request or demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the next succeeding Business Day after such deemed request or demand is made. No Bank’s obligation to fund its respective Commitment Percentage of the repayment of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Bank’s failure to fund its Commitment Percentage of such repayment, nor shall any Bank’s Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Bank to fund its Commitment Percentage. To the extent any Bank does not fund its respective Commitment Percentage of any Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower pursuant to this §2.8(c)(iii), such Bank shall be deemed a Delinquent Bank and the Borrower shall repay such amounts to the Swingline Lender in accordance

-35-

with the provisions of §4.3 as if such Loan were a Revolving Credit Loan for which a Bank did not remit its share to the Agent. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Banks.

(iv) If at any time the Borrower receives notice from the Swingline Lender that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, plus the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans outstanding (including the Swingline Loan for which demand for payment is then made by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this subsection), plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and, plus, without double-counting the portion, if any, of any Letter of Credit which is drawn and included in the Revolving Credit Loans or the Maximum Drawing Amount, all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations at such time, plus all outstanding Bid Rate Loans at such time, equals or exceeds the Total Commitment at such time the Borrower shall repay the amount of such excess upon demand by the Swingline Lender, which payment shall be applied first to the Swingline Loans, second to the Revolving Credit Loans and thereafter to the Bid Rate Loans.

(v) Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans with Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with the terms of this §2.8 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, in any event, non-satisfaction of any conditions set forth in this Agreement pertaining to advances of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, except to the limited extent expressly referred to in the first sentence of §2.8(a). Further, each Bank agrees and acknowledges that if, prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this §2.8, one of the events described in §§14.1(g) or (h) shall have occurred, each Bank will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made pursuant to §2.8(c)(i) or (ii), purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan Amount. Each Bank will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Bank such Bank’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Bank its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

(vi) Each Bank’s Commitment Percentage applicable to any Swingline Loan shall be identical to its Commitment Percentage applicable to Revolving Credit Loans.

-36-

§2.9. Bid Rate Advances.

(a) Each Bank severally agrees that, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower may request and receive Bid Rate Advances under this §2.9 from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the date occurring 30 days prior to the Maturity Date in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that:

(i) following the making of each Bid Rate Advance, the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, plus the aggregate amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, plus the aggregate amount of all Bid Rate Advances then outstanding (including the requested Bid Rate Advance), plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and, without double-counting the portion, if any, of any Letter of Credit which is drawn and included in the Revolving Credit Loans or the Maximum Drawing Amount, plus all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations at such time, shall not exceed the Total Commitment in effect at such time;

(ii) at no time shall the aggregate amount of all Bid Rate Advances then outstanding (including the requested Bid Rate Advance) exceed the Bid Rate Maximum Amount; and

(iii) at the time the Borrower requests a Bid Rate Advance and after giving effect to the making thereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) The procedures for the solicitation and acceptance of Bid Rate Loans are set forth below (with the references to time of day meaning Boston, Massachusetts time):

(i) The Borrower may request a Bid Rate Advance under this §2.9(b) by giving the Agent irrevocable notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (a “Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice”), specifying the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Bid Rate Advance, the maturity date for repayment of each Bid Rate Loan to be made as part of such Bid Rate Advance (which maturity date may not be earlier than, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the date occurring one day, and in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, the date occurring seven days, after the date of the related Bid Rate Advance or later than, in either case, the earlier of the day occurring 180 days after the date of such Bid Rate Advance and the Maturity Date), and any other terms to be applicable to such Bid Rate Advance, not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Bid Rate Advance, and (B) in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, four (4) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Bid Rate Advance. Each Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice shall also include a certification by Borrower in the form set forth in Exhibit D-2 which

-37-

certifies (among other things) that, both before and after giving effect to such requested Bid Rate Advance, each of the conditions to borrowing set forth in §13 have been satisfied, including, without limitation, in §13.1. The Agent shall, promptly following its receipt of a Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice under this §2.9(b), notify each Bank of such request by sending such Bank a copy of such Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice.

(ii) Each Bank may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Rate Loans to the Borrower as part of such proposed Bid Rate Advance at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Bank in its sole discretion, by providing written notice to the Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower), before 10:30 a.m. (or if such Bank is serving as the Agent, before 10:00 a.m.) on (A) the date of such proposed Bid Rate Advance, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, and (B) the date that is three Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid Rate Advance, in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, in the form of Exhibit D-3 attached hereto (the “Competitive Bid Notice”) of the minimum amount and maximum amount of each Bid Rate Loan which such Bank would be willing to make as part of such proposed Bid Rate Advance (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of §2.9(a), exceed such Bank’s Commitment) and the rate or rates of interest therefor.

Any Competitive Bid Notice shall be disregarded and given no effect if it contains qualifying or conditional language, proposes terms and conditions other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice or arrives after the time set forth above for its receipt by the Agent.

(iii) The Borrower shall, in turn, before (A) 1:00 p.m. on the date of such proposed Bid Rate Advance, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, and (B) 1:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid Rate Advance, in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, either:

(x) cancel such Bid Rate Advance by giving the Agent notice to that effect, or

(y) accept one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to §2.9(b), in its sole discretion and subject to §2.9(d), by giving notice, in the form of Exhibit D-4 attached hereto, to the Agent of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan to be made by each Bank as part of such Bid Rate Advance, and reject any remaining offers made by Banks pursuant to §2.9(b)(ii) by giving the Agent notice to that effect.

-38-

(iv) If the Borrower notifies the Agent that such Bid Rate Advance is canceled pursuant to §2.9(b)(iii)(x), the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks and such Bid Rate Advance shall not be made.

(v) If the Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to §2.9(b)(iii)(y), the Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Bank that has made an offer as described in §2.9(b)(ii) of the date, and aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Advance and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bank pursuant to §2.9(b)(ii) have been accepted by the Borrower and (B) each Bank that is to make a Bid Rate Loan as part of such Bid Rate Advance, of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan to be made by such Bank as part of such Bid Rate Advance. Each Bank that is to make a Bid Rate Loan as part of such Bid Rate Advance shall, not later than the specified remittance time (as set forth in the notice received from the Agent pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence) on the date of such Bid Rate Advance specified in the notice received from the Agent pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence, make available to the Agent such Bank’s portion of such Bid Rate Advance, in same day funds. After receipt by the Agent of such funds and provided that the conditions in §13 are satisfied and the Borrower has delivered to the Agent the certificate referred to in §2.4(iv)(c) as if all references in §2.4(iv)(c) to Revolving Credit Loans were to Bid Rate Loans, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower upon execution and delivery to the applicable Bank (with a copy to the Agent) by the Borrower of a Bid Rate Note evidencing such Bid Rate Loan (and the provisions set forth in the last two sentences of §2.2 relating to Revolving Credit Notes shall apply equally to the Bid Rate Notes). Promptly after each Bid Rate Advance the Agent will notify each Bank of such Bid Rate Advance.

(vi) If the Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to §2.9(b)(iii)(y) and fails to borrow any Bid Rate Loan so accepted, the Borrower shall indemnify the Bank funding such Loan against any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain such unborrowed Bid Rate Loans, including, without limitation, Eurodollar Breakage Costs and other compensation, if any, as provided in §5.8.

(vii) A Bid Rate Advance fee of $750.00 shall be payable by the Borrower to the Agent, for the account of the Agent, with respect to and concurrently with the delivery of each Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice.

-39-

(c) Each Bid Rate Advance shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and, following the making of each Bid Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to §2.9(a).

(d) Each acceptance by the Borrower pursuant to §2.9(b)(iii)(y) of the offers made in response to a Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice shall be treated as an acceptance of such offers in ascending order of the rates or margins, as applicable, at which the same were made but if, as a result thereof, two or more offers at the same such rate or margin would be partially accepted, then the amounts of the Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be treated as being the amounts which bear the same proportion to one another as the respective amounts of the Bid Rate Loans so offered bear to one another but, in each case, rounded as the Agent may consider necessary to ensure that the amount of each such Bid Rate Loan is $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(e) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this §2.9, the Borrower may from time to time borrow under this §2.9, repay pursuant to §2.9(f), and reborrow under this §2.9.

(f) The Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank which has made a Bid Rate Loan to it, on the maturity date of such Bid Rate Loan (such maturity date being that specified by the Borrower for repayment of such Bid Rate Loan in the related Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice) or such earlier date to which the maturity of such Bid Rate Loan has been accelerated hereunder, the then unpaid principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Bid Rate Loan unless, and then only on the terms, specified by the Borrower for such Bid Rate Loan in the related Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice and subject to payment of Eurodollar Breakage Costs and other compensation, if any, as provided in §5.8.

(g) The Borrower shall, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to, pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Bid Rate Loan made to it, from the date of such Bid Rate Loan to the date the principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Bid Rate Loan specified by the Bank making such Bid Rate Loan in the related notice submitted by such Bank pursuant to §2.9(b)(ii), payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Borrower for such Bid Rate Loan in the related Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice and on any date on which such Bid Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. In the event the term of any Bid Rate Loan shall be longer than three months, interest thereon shall be payable not less frequently than once each three-month period during such term. Interest on Bid Rate Loans shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.

-40-

(h) Each Existing Bid Rate Advance, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, shall automatically be deemed to be a Bid Rate Advance made under and pursuant to this Agreement for all purposes.

§2.10. Increases in Total Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right to cause the Total Commitment to increase in minimum increments of $50,000,000 up to an aggregate increase amount not at any time exceeding $395,000,000 (the “Increase”), in which event the Agent will amend Schedule 2 to reflect the increased Commitment of each Bank, if any, that has agreed in writing to an increase and to add any third party financial institution that may have become a party to, and a “Bank” under, this Agreement in connection with the Increase; provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Increase that the Increase Conditions shall have been satisfied and provided further the last minimum increment to bring the aggregate Increase up to $395,000,000 shall be $45,000,000 rather than $50,000,000. In the event that the Increase results in any change to the Commitment Percentage of any Bank, then on the effective date of such Increase in the Total Commitment (i) any new Bank, and any existing Bank whose Commitment has increased, shall pay to the Agent such amounts as are necessary to fund its new or increased Commitment Percentage of all existing Revolving Credit Loans, (ii) the Agent will use the proceeds thereof to pay to all Banks whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing such amounts as are necessary so that each such Bank’s participation in existing Revolving Credit Loans will be equal to its adjusted Commitment Percentage, and (iii) if the effective date of such Increase in the Total Commitment occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower will be responsible for Eurodollar Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable pursuant to §5.8 on account of the payments made pursuant to clause (ii) above. In no event shall any Bank be required to participate in an Increase.

§2.11. Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. At least 30 days but in no event more than 90 days prior to August 3, 2010, the Borrower, by written notice to the Agent (with copies for each Bank), may request an extension of the Maturity Date by a period of one year from the Maturity Date then in effect (the “Extension”). The Extension shall become effective on August 3, 2010 so long as (i) the Borrower has paid to the Agent on such date, for the ratable accounts of the Banks, an extension fee in an amount equal to 15 basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on such date (“Extension Fee”), and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such date and all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct as of such date (except (i) to the extent of changes resulting from transactions contemplated or not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, (ii) to the extent that such representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date and (iii) to the extent otherwise represented by the Borrower with respect to the representation set forth in §7.10). The notice referred to in the first sentence of this §2.11 shall constitute and shall be deemed to be a certification by the Borrower as to the truth and accuracy of the statements contained in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

§3. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

§3.1. Letter of Credit Commitments.

§3.1.1. Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the execution and delivery by the Borrower of a letter of credit application on the Fronting Bank’s customary form as part of a Completed Loan Request (a “Letter of Credit Application”), the Fronting Bank on behalf of the Banks and in reliance upon the agreement of the Banks set forth in §3.1.4 and upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue, extend and renew for the account of the Borrower (or, so long as Borrower remains fully liable on the applicable Letter of Credit Application, for the account of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower or a Partially-Owned Entity) one or more letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit”), in such form as may be requested from time to time by the Borrower and reasonably agreed to by the Fronting Bank; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such Completed Loan Request, (a) the Maximum Drawing Amount plus all Reimbursement Obligations (to the extent, if any, not yet deemed a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §3.3), shall not exceed $200,000,000 at any one time and (b) the sum of (i) the Maximum Drawing Amount and, without double counting, all Reimbursement Obligations (to the extent, if any, not yet deemed a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §3.3) and (ii) the amount of all Loans (including Swingline Loans and Bid Rate Loans) outstanding shall not exceed the Total Commitment in effect at such time. It is acknowledged that the Existing Letters of Credit are to be treated as Letters of Credit hereunder for all purposes, including, without limitation, with respect to the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower under §3.2 and the funding obligations of the Banks under §3.3. As this Agreement constitutes an entire amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, it is acknowledged and agreed that BOA shall not, and shall not have any obligation to, issue any further Letters of Credit under the Existing Credit Agreement.

§3.1.2. Letter of Credit Applications. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and the Fronting Bank. In the event that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application shall be inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement (including provisions applicable to a Completed Loan Request) or shall impose additional financial or other material obligations (other than technical, administrative and ministerial obligations, whether relating to the mechanics of a draw under a Letter of Credit or otherwise), then the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent of any such inconsistency or additional material obligation, govern.

§3.1.3. Terms of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed hereunder shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts for honor thereunder when presented in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein, and (ii) have an expiry date no later than the date which is fourteen (14) days prior to the Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit so issued, extended or renewed shall be subject to the Uniform Customs.

-42-

§3.1.4. Obligations of Banks with respect to Letters of Credit. Each Bank severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the Fronting Bank on demand pursuant to §3.3 for the amount of each draft paid by the Fronting Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to §3.2 (such agreement for a Bank being called herein the “Letter of Credit Participation” of such Bank). Each such payment made by a Bank shall be treated as a purchase by such Bank of a participation in the Fronting Bank’s interest in such Letter of Credit and each Bank shall share, in accordance with its respective Commitment Percentage, in any interest which accrues and is payable by the Borrower pursuant to §3.2 or otherwise in connection with such Letter of Credit.

§3.1.5. Fronting Bank. Notwithstanding the definition of Fronting Bank, in the event that the Borrower reasonably determines that it would be beneficial to have a Letter of Credit issued by a Bank with a higher rating than BOA has at any applicable time of reference (as determined by Moody’s or S&P), or for any other reason acceptable to the Agent, the Borrower shall have the right to elect any Bank having a higher rating than BOA (or such other applicable Bank) as the Fronting Bank for that particular Letter of Credit, provided that no Bank other than BOA shall be required to be a Fronting Bank.

§3.2. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In order to induce the Fronting Bank to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Banks to participate therein, the Borrower hereby agrees, except as contemplated in §3.3, to reimburse or pay to the Fronting Bank, for the account of the Fronting Bank or (as the case may be) the Banks, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by the Fronting Bank hereunder,

(a) except as otherwise expressly provided in §3.2(b) and (c) or §3.3, promptly upon notification by the Fronting Bank or the Agent that any draft presented under such Letter of Credit is honored by the Fronting Bank, or the Fronting Bank otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, (i) the amount paid by the Fronting Bank under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) any amounts payable pursuant to §5.5 under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit,

(b) upon the reduction (but not termination) of the Total Commitment to an amount less than the then Maximum Drawing Amount (after taking into account all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, if any (without double counting)), an amount equal to such difference, which amount shall be held by the Agent in an interest-bearing account (with interest to be added to such account) as cash collateral for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent for all Reimbursement Obligations, and

(c) upon the termination of the Total Commitment, or the acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in accordance with §14, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, which amount shall be held by the Agent in an interest-bearing account (with interest to

-43-

be added to such account) as cash collateral for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent for all Reimbursement Obligations.

Each such payment shall be made to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks at the Agent’s Funding Office in immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts not converted to a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §3.3 and remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this §3.2 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §3.2, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks on demand at the rate specified in §5.9 for overdue principal on the Loans.

§3.3. Letter of Credit Payments; Funding of a Loan. If any draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank will use its best efforts to notify the Borrower and the Agent (who will use its best efforts to promptly notify each of the Banks), on or before the date the Fronting Bank intends to honor such drawing, of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor such demand for payment and, except to the extent the amount of such draft becomes a Revolving Credit Loan as set forth in this §3.3, Borrower shall reimburse Agent, as set forth in §3.2. Notwithstanding anything contained in §3.2 or this §3.3 to the contrary, however, unless Borrower shall have notified the Agent and Fronting Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such drawing that Borrower intends to reimburse Fronting Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Completed Loan Request pursuant to §2.4 to Agent, requesting a Prime Rate Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. The Borrower may thereafter convert any such Prime Rate Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type in accordance with §2.5. Each Bank shall, in accordance with §2.6, make available such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan to Agent, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Agent to reimburse Fronting Bank for the amount of such draw. In the event that any Bank fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan on the date of any drawing, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank plus any additional amounts payable under §2.6(b) in the event of a late funding by a Bank. The Fronting Bank is irrevocably authorized by the Borrower and each of the Banks to honor draws on each Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. The responsibility of the Agent to the Borrower and the Banks shall be only to determine that the documents (including each draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit.

§3.4. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this §3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the account party in whose name a Letter of Credit is issued pursuant to a Letter of Credit Application executed by Borrower or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default

-44-

or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Agent, any Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees with the Agent and the Banks that the Agent and the Banks shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under §3.2 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon (so long as the documents delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in the form required by, and in conformity in all material respects with, such Letter of Credit), even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to whom any Letter of Credit may be transferred, or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Agent and the Banks shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Bank under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith and absent gross negligence, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Agent or any Bank to the Borrower.

§3.5. Reliance by Issuer. To the extent not inconsistent with §3.4, the Agent and any Fronting Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent and any Fronting Bank shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this §3 (other than the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to a Letter of Credit Application and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as may be required by this Agreement) as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent and any Fronting Bank shall in all cases be fully protected by the Banks in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this §3 in accordance with a request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as may be required by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Banks and all future holders of the Notes or of a Letter of Credit Participation.

§3.6. Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a fee (in each case, a “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable L/C Percentage of the undrawn amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit (as calculated with respect to each Letter of Credit’s Maximum Drawing Amount), which fee (a) shall be payable

-45-

quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, with a final payment on the Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate (which Letter of Credit Fee shall be pro-rated for any calendar quarter in which such Letter of Credit is issued, drawn upon or otherwise reduced or terminated) and (b) shall be for the accounts of the Banks as follows: (i) an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the account of the Fronting Bank and (ii) the remainder of the Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the accounts of the Banks (including the Fronting Bank as a Bank) pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. In addition, Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Bank, for its own account, an amount equal to the Fronting Bank’s reasonable and customary costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and/or administration of the Letters of Credit.

§4. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

§4.1. Maturity. In addition to, and without limiting, the provisions of §2.8(b) and §2.9(f), the Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all unpaid principal of the Revolving Credit Loans and each other Loan, if any, outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the unpaid balance of the Facility Fee accrued through such date, and any and all other unpaid amounts due under this Agreement, the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents.

§4.2. Optional Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided that the outstanding amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loans may not be prepaid unless the Borrower pays the Eurodollar Breakage Costs for each Eurodollar Rate Loan so prepaid at the time of such prepayment. The Borrower shall give the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §4.2 of any Prime Rate Loans, and at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §4.2 of Eurodollar Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans then being repaid, shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges, if any, outstanding on all Revolving Credit Loans so prepaid and of all accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Prime Rate Loans and then to the principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans.

§4.3 Mandatory Repayment of Loans. If at any time the sum of the outstanding amount of the Loans, plus the Maximum Drawing Amount, plus without double-counting any Revolving Credit Loans, the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, if any, exceeds the Total Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days after

-46-

receiving notice of such excess from the Agent pay to the Agent an amount in cash necessary to eliminate such excess, such amount to be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, (x) first to the repayment of Swingline Loans, second to the repayment of Revolving Credit Loans and third to the repayment of Bid Rate Loans and (y) with respect to any such payments of Revolving Credit Loans, first to the principal of Prime Rate Loans and then to the principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans.

§5. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

§5.1. Funds for Payments.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Banks or (as the case may be) the Agent, at the Agent’s Funding Office, in each case in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and of fees hereunder and Reimbursement Obligations which are not converted to a Loan hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the due date thereof.

(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory liens, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If the Borrower is compelled by law to make any such deduction or withholding with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (except with respect to taxes on the income or profits of the Agent or any Bank), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Banks to receive the same net amount which the Banks would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document.

§5.2. Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year (365/366-day year for Prime Rate Loans) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the Note Records or

-47-

record attached to any other Note from time to time shall constitute prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof.

§5.3. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Agent shall reasonably and in good faith determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) to the Borrower and the Banks. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Prime Rate Loans, (b) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Prime Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the Banks to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, in each case unless and until the Agent reasonably and in good faith determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Banks.

§5.4. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Bank shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and thereupon (a) the Commitment of such Bank to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, all until such time as it is no longer unlawful for such Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the limitations set forth in §5.7, the Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Bank, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs incurred by such Bank in making any conversion required by this §5.4 prior to the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, including any interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder.

§5.5. Additional Costs, Etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Bank or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, then generally applied by the Banks or the Agent with respect to similar loans), shall:

(a) subject any Bank or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, such Bank’s Commitment or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Bank or the Agent), or

-48-

(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Bank of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to the Agent or any Bank under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Bank, or

(d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, the Loans, such Bank’s Commitment, or any class of loans, letters of credit or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Bank’s Commitment forms a part;

and the result of any of the foregoing is

(i) to increase the cost to any Bank of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Bank’s Commitment or any Letter of Credit, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such Bank or the Agent hereunder on account of such Bank’s Commitment, any Letter of Credit or any of the Loans, or

(iii) to require such Bank or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Bank or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within thirty (30) days after notice by the Agent or such Bank (such notice to be given promptly by the Agent or such Bank upon the making of any such determination), at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, but subject to the limitations set forth in §5.7, pay to such Bank or the Agent such additional amounts as such Bank or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Agent for such

-49-

additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum, provided that such Bank or the Agent is generally imposing similar charges on its other similarly situated borrowers.

§5.6. Capital Adequacy. If any future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, then generally applied by the Banks with respect to similar loans) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and any Bank or the Agent determines that the amount of capital required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence of Loans made or deemed to be made pursuant hereto, then such Bank or the Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact, and the Borrower shall pay to such Bank or the Agent from time to time, within thirty (30) days after notice by the Agent or such Bank (such notice to be given promptly by the Agent or such Bank upon the making of any such determination), as an additional fee payable hereunder, but subject to the limitations set forth in §5.7, such amount as such Bank or the Agent shall determine reasonably and in good faith and certify in a notice to the Borrower to be an amount that will adequately compensate such Bank in light of these circumstances for its increased costs of maintaining such capital. Each Bank and the Agent shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis, and will not charge the Borrower unless it is generally imposing a similar charge on its other similarly situated borrowers.

§5.7. Certificate; Limitations. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §§5.5 or 5.6 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, including reasonably detailed information regarding the method and calculation of such amount, submitted by any Bank or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence that such amounts are due and owing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5, (i) to the extent reasonably possible, each Bank shall designate an alternate lending office in the continental United States to make the Loans in order to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Bank under §§5.4, 5.5 or 5.6 or to avoid the unavailability of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Bank, and (ii) the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Bank pursuant to §§5.4, 5.5 or 5.6 for any amounts attributable to any period which is more than one (1) year prior to the date of delivery of the certificate set forth in the first sentence of this §5.7. If (a) a Bank requests compensation pursuant to §§5.5 or 5.6 and the Required Banks are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Bank to make, convert and/or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to §5.4 but the obligation of the Required Banks shall not have been suspended under such Section, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower, within thirty (30) days of such request for compensation or suspension, as applicable, may either (x) demand that such Bank (the “Affected Bank”) assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee designated by Borrower (or designated by Agent and approved by Borrower), and upon such demand the Affected Bank shall promptly assign its Commitment to such Eligible Assignee, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §20.1 for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of the

-50-

Loans then owing to the Affected Bank plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Bank, (y) pay to the Affected Bank the amounts required under §§5.4, 5.5 or 5.6, as applicable or (z) pay to the Affected Bank the aggregate principal balance of the Loans then owing to the Affected Bank plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Bank (but without duplication of the amounts payable pursuant to §§5.4, 5.5 or 5.6, as applicable). If Borrower elects either option (x) or (z) above, it shall, in all events, pay to the Affected Bank the amounts required under §§5.4, 5.5 or 5.6, as applicable, for the period prior to such replacement or termination of the Affected Bank, and upon any such election the Affected Bank shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder (other than with respect to §§5.5, 5.6, 17 and 18 for the period prior to the replacement or termination of the Affected Bank) or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Agent and the Affected Bank shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of the Affected Bank under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, the Affected Bank or any other Bank be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Bank or any of the other Banks.

§5.8. Indemnity. In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement regarding such matters, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Bank and to hold the Agent and each Bank harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of the spread to which such Bank would have been entitled through the end of the applicable Interest Period in excess of the applicable interest rate(s) then in effect) that the Agent or such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) a default by the Borrower in the payment of any principal amount of or any interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by the Agent or such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans, (b) the failure by the Borrower to make a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given a Completed Loan Request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Conversion Request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (c) the making of any payment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Prime Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by the Agent or a Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to so indemnify any Bank pursuant to clause (b) above during and for any period of time when such Bank has wrongfully failed or refused to fund its proportionate share of a Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and is a Delinquent Bank.

§5.9. Interest on Overdue Amounts. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3%) plus the Prime Rate until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). In addition, the Borrower

-51-

shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of any amount of interest charges on the Loans which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due.

§6. RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS. The Obligations are full recourse obligations of the Borrower, and all of the respective assets and properties of the Borrower shall be available for the payment in full in cash and performance of the Obligations. In no event shall BPI have any personal liability hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, either individually or as general partner of BPLP, by application of applicable law or otherwise, except to the extent BPI misappropriates funds, rents or insurance proceeds or engages in gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

§7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Borrower for itself and for BPI insofar as any such statements relate to BPI represents and warrants to the Banks all of the statements contained in this §7.

§7.1. Authority, Etc.

(ii) BPI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; each Subsidiary of Borrower and BPI is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation, nominee trust, limited liability company, limited partnership or general partnership, as the case may be, under the laws of the state of its organization, unless the failure to be so does not relate to BPLP or BPI and is a Non-Material Breach; each of Borrower and BPI and each of their Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate, trust, limited liability company, limited partnership or general partnership, as the case may be, power to own its respective properties and conduct its respective business as now conducted and as presently contemplated, unless any such failure to have any of the foregoing does not relate to BPLP or BPI and is a Non-Material Breach; and

-52-

BPI is in good standing as a foreign entity and is duly authorized to do business in the jurisdictions where such qualification is necessary (including in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) except where a failure to be so qualified in such jurisdiction would not have a materially adverse effect on the business, assets or financial condition of BPI.

There are no outstanding securities or agreements exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying any rights to acquire a general partner interest in BPLP. There are no outstanding commitments, options, warrants, calls or other agreements (whether written or oral) binding on BPLP or BPI which require or could require BPLP or BPI to sell, grant, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise dispose of any general partner interest in BPLP.

(d) Enforceability. Each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or BPI is a party has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and BPI, as the case may be, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating

-53-

to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to the fact that the availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

§7.2. Governmental Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and by the Borrower and BPI of the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower or BPI is or is to become a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not require (i) the approval or consent of any governmental agency or authority other than those already obtained or those which would not have a material adverse effect on BPLP, BPI or, taken as a whole, the BP Group, or (ii) filing with any governmental agency or authority, other than filings which will be made with the SEC when and as required by law or deemed appropriate by BPI.

§7.3. Ownership of Assets. The Borrower and BPI each has, directly or through Wholly-owned Subsidiaries and/or Partially-Owned Entities, good fee or leasehold title to all of the Real Estate Assets. Other than through its ownership interests in its Subsidiaries, BPI owns no Real Estate Assets.

-54-

foregoing, adequate for the conduct of their respective businesses substantially as now conducted without known conflict with any rights of others, including all material Permits.

§7.7 Litigation. Except as stated on Schedule 7.7, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations of any kind pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against the Borrower, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries before any court, tribunal or administrative agency or board that, if adversely determined, might, either individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect the properties, assets, financial condition or business of BPLP, BPI or, taken as a whole, the BP Group, or materially impair the right of BPLP, BPI or, taken as a whole, the BP Group, to carry on their respective businesses substantially as now conducted by them, or result in any substantial liability not adequately covered by insurance, or for which adequate reserves are not maintained, or which question the validity of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the undertaking by Borrower of the provisions hereof or thereof.

(e) any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the Borrower or BPI in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall prove to have been false in any material respect upon the date when made or deemed to have been made or repeated and the same is not otherwise specified herein to be a Non-Material Breach;

(f) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the extent of Recourse to the Borrower or such Subsidiaries thereunder, any of their respective Affiliates, shall fail to pay at maturity, or within any applicable period of grace, any obligation for borrowed money or credit received or in respect of any Capitalized Leases (other than non-recourse obligations or credit), the recourse component of which is in excess of $50,000,000, either individually or in the aggregate, or fail to observe or perform any material term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in any agreement, document or instrument by which it is bound evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to such Recourse obligations, evidencing or securing borrowed money or credit received or in respect of any Capitalized Leases for such period of time (after the giving of appropriate notice if required) as would permit the holder or holders thereof or of any obligations issued thereunder the recourse component of which is in excess of $50,000,000, either individually or in the aggregate, to accelerate the maturity thereof; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Event of Default shall occur pursuant to this subparagraph (f) unless and until the holder or holders of such Recourse Indebtedness have declared an event of default beyond any applicable notice and grace periods, if any, on in excess of $50,000,000 of such Recourse Indebtedness either individually or in the aggregate, and (ii) with respect solely to any such Recourse Indebtedness of a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower (not including any such Indebtedness which is Recourse to the Borrower), no Event of Default shall occur pursuant to this subparagraph (f) if, upon the occurrence of such event, the Borrower, promptly after obtaining knowledge of the same, notifies the Agent in writing of such

-81-

event and includes with such notice a Compliance Certificate in the form of Exhibit C-6 evidencing to the satisfaction of the Agent that, as of the date thereof, the Borrower is in compliance with all of the covenants set forth in §10 after excluding such Subsidiary or Affiliate, and any Real Estate Asset owned by such Subsidiary or Affiliate, from the calculation of such covenants;

(g) any of BPLP, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay or generally fail to pay its debts as they mature or become due, or shall petition or apply for the appointment of a trustee or other custodian, liquidator or receiver of any of BPLP, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of the properties or assets of any of such parties or shall commence any case or other proceeding relating to any of the BPLP, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, or shall take any action to authorize or in furtherance of any of the foregoing, or if any such petition or application shall be filed or any such case or other proceeding shall be commenced against any of BPLP, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries and (i) any of BPLP, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall indicate its approval thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence therein or (ii) any such petition, application, case or other proceeding shall continue undismissed, or unstayed and in effect, for a period of ninety (90) days, except, with respect solely to such parties other than BPLP and BPI, any of the foregoing constitutes a Non-Material Breach;

(h) a decree or order is entered appointing any trustee, custodian, liquidator or receiver or adjudicating any of BPLP, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition in any such case or other proceeding, or a decree or order for relief is entered in respect of any of BPLP, BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries in an involuntary case under federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted, except, with respect solely to such parties other than BPLP and BPI, any of the foregoing constitutes a Non-Material Breach;

-82-

governmental or regulatory authority or agency of competent jurisdiction shall make a determination that, or issue a judgment, order, decree or ruling to the effect that, any one or more of the Loan Documents is illegal, invalid or unenforceable as to any material terms thereof;

(k) any “Event of Default” or default (after notice and expiration of any period of grace, to the extent provided), as defined or provided in any of the other Loan Documents, shall occur and be continuing;

(l) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and the Required Banks shall have determined in their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to result in liability of the Borrower or BPI to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000 and such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Plan; or the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or

(m) without limitation of the other provisions of this §14.1, BPI shall at any time fail to be the sole general partner of BPLP or shall at any time be in contravention of any of the requirements contained in §9.1(e), the last paragraph of §9.2, or §9.3 (including, without limitation, the last paragraph of §9.3);

then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Banks shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower, declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and all Reimbursement Obligations to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, BPI and each of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §14.1(g) or 14.1(h), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of notice from any of the Banks or the Agent or action by the Banks or the Agent.

For purposes of this §14, the term “Non-Material Breach” shall refer to a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement to which the term “Non-Material Breach” is expressly applied herein, but only to the extent such breach does not (A) materially adversely affect the business, properties or financial condition of BPLP, BPI or, taken as a whole, the BP Group or (B) adversely affect the ability of BPLP, BPI or, taken as a whole, the BP Group, to fulfill the Obligations to the Banks and the Agent (including, without limitation, to repay all amounts outstanding on the Loans, together with interest and charges thereon when due).

-83-

§14.2. Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in §14.1(g) or §14.1(h) shall occur, any unused portion of the Commitments or other commitments to extend credit hereunder shall forthwith terminate and the Banks shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans to the Borrower and the Agent and any Fronting Bank shall be relieved of all further obligations to issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not the Banks shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §14.1, any Bank may, by notice to the Borrower, terminate the unused portion of that Bank’s Commitment or other commitment to extend credit hereunder, and upon such notice being given such unused portion of such Commitment or other commitment shall terminate immediately, such Bank shall be relieved of all further obligations to make Loans, the Agent and any Fronting Bank shall be relieved of all further obligations to issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit and the Total Commitments shall be reduced accordingly. No such termination of a Commitment or other commitment to extend credit hereunder shall relieve the Borrower of any of the Obligations or any of its existing obligations to such Bank arising under other agreements or instruments.

§14.3. Remedies. In the event that one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not the Banks shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §14.1, the Required Banks may direct the Agent to proceed to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks under this Agreement, the Notes, any or all of the other Loan Documents or under applicable law by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding (including for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced and, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver), and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right or remedy of the Agent and the Banks under the Loan Documents or applicable law. No remedy herein conferred upon the Banks or the Agent or the holder of any Note or purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

§15. SETOFF. Neither the Agent nor any of the Banks shall have any right of set-off or the like with respect to the Obligations against any assets of the Borrower, BPI, their respective Subsidiaries or any Partially-Owned Entity.

§16. THE AGENT.

§16.1. Authorization. (a) The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Banks and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the

-84-

Agent. The relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and principal only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Bank.

(b) The Borrower, without further inquiry or investigation, shall, and is hereby authorized by the Banks to, assume that all actions taken by the Agent hereunder and in connection with or under the Loan Documents are duly authorized by the Banks. The Banks shall notify Borrower of any successor to Agent by a writing signed by Required Banks, which successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Borrower acknowledges that any Bank which acquires BOA is acceptable as a successor to the Agent.

§16.2. Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.

§16.3. No Liability. Neither the Agent, nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

§16.4. No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, or any of the other Loan Documents or for the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of BPI or the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or BPI or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Banks, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or BPI or any of the Subsidiaries or any tenant under a Lease or any other entity. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other

-85-

Bank, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

§16.5. Payments.

(a) A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Bank such Bank’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Banks, as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. All such payments shall be made on the date received, if before 1:00 p.m., and if after 1:00 p.m., on the next Business Day.

(b) If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in material liability, it may refrain from making the distribution until its right to make the distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Agent shall invest any such undistributed amounts in overnight obligations on behalf of the Banks and interest thereon shall be paid pro rata to the Banks. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or to purchase any Letter of Credit Participation or (ii) to adjust promptly such Bank’s outstanding principal and its pro rata Commitment Percentage as provided in §2.1, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Bank”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Bank until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Banks in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. If not previously satisfied directly by the Delinquent Bank, a Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Banks, the Banks’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

§16.6. Holders of Notes. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Notes or the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

-86-

§16.7. Indemnity. The Banks ratably and severally agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §17), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

§16.8. Agent as Bank. In its individual capacity as a Bank, BOA shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participations, as it would have were it not also the Agent.

§16.9. Notification of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Bank hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall (to the extent notice has not previously been provided) promptly notify the Agent thereof. The Agent hereby agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this §16.9 it shall promptly notify the other Banks of the existence of such Default or Event of Default.

§16.10. Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, if (a) so requested by the Required Banks and (b) the Banks have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and exercise all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have in respect of enforcement of the Banks’ rights against the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Required Banks may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such enforcement, the Banks (including any Bank which is not one of the Required Banks) hereby agreeing to ratably and severally indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

§16.11. Successor Agent. BOA, or any successor Agent, may resign as Agent at any time by giving at least 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Banks and to the Borrower. The Required Banks may remove the Agent in the event of the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or in the event that the Bank serving as Agent ceases to hold a Commitment under this Agreement. In addition, the Borrower may remove the Agent in the event that the Agent holds (without participation) less than the Minimum Commitment, provided that Borrower shall not have such removal right if an Event of

-87-

Default exists or if the Agent holds less than the Minimum Commitment at any time as a result of the merger or consolidation of any of the other Banks or as a result of events other than the sale by the Agent of any portion of its Commitment. Any such resignation or removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent, as hereinafter provided. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which is a Bank under this Agreement and which holds at least the Minimum Commitment, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Borrower shall have the right to approve any successor Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, in the case of a resignation by the Agent, no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint any one of the other Banks as a successor Agent. The Borrower acknowledges that any Bank which acquires BOA is acceptable as a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this §16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. The Agent agrees that it shall not assign any of its rights or duties as Agent to any other Person.

§16.12. Notices. Any notices or other information required hereunder to be provided to the Agent shall be forwarded by the Agent to each of the Banks on the same day (if practicable) and, in any case, on the next Business Day following the Agent’s receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed by the Banks that the Agent shall have no obligation to send to the Banks the information which is deemed delivered by the Borrower under §8.4 by the Borrower’s filing with the SEC of its Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, all as more particularly described in the last paragraph of §8.4, and the Agent shall have no liability to any Person for any Bank’s failure to obtain such SEC filings.

§17. EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) directly to the party owed the same, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent’s outside counsel or any local counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, each closing hereunder, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (c) the fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and, without double-counting amounts under clause (b) above, the fees and disbursements of the Agent’s counsel in preparing the documentation, (d) the fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Agent and its Affiliates incurred in connection with the initial syndication and/or

-88-

participations of the Loans (whether occurring before or after the closing hereunder), including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, travel costs, costs of preparing syndication materials and photocopying costs, provided that the Borrower shall not incur any costs or fees of any kind in connection with any participation, sale or other syndication of any portion of the Loans which occurs after the initial syndication other than reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any participation, sale or syndication undertaken at the request of the Borrower or (in addition to any other fees or expenses relating thereto) in connection with an amendment or increase to the amount of the Total Commitment, (e) all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of any Bank or the Agent, and the fees and costs of engineers, investment bankers, or other experts retained by any Bank or the Agent in connection with any such enforcement proceedings) incurred by any Bank or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or BPI or the administration thereof after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in any restructuring and/or “workout” of the Loans), and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to any Bank’s or the Agent’s relationship with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or BPI, and (f) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC terminations or mortgage discharges. The covenants of this §17 shall survive the repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations of the Banks hereunder.

§18. INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, Arrangers, JPM, JPChase, the Banks and each of their respective Related Parties (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses (including amounts, if any, owing to any Bank pursuant to §§5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.8), settlement payments, obligations, damages and expenses of every nature and character in connection therewith, arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or which otherwise arise in connection with this financing, including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (c) pursuant to §8.17, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §18 to indemnify any Indemnified Party for liabilities arising from such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith breach of this Agreement. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Borrower shall be entitled to select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Required Banks, and the Agent (as approved by the Required Banks) shall be entitled to select their own supervisory counsel, and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of each such counsel. Prior to any settlement of any

-89-

such litigation by the Banks, the Banks shall provide the Borrower and BPI with notice and an opportunity to address any of their concerns with the Banks, and the Banks shall not settle any litigation without first obtaining Borrower’s consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §18 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §18 shall survive the repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations of the Banks hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the possibility of any such claim, action, cause of action or suit exists.

§19. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or BPI pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Banks and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Banks of any of the Loans and the issuance, extension or renewal of any Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Letter of Credit or any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Bank has any obligation to make any Loans or the Agent or any Fronting Bank has any obligation to issue, extend or renew any Letter of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Banks hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Bank or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or BPI pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower or such Subsidiary or BPI hereunder.

§20. ASSIGNMENT; PARTICIPATIONS; ETC.

§20.1. Conditions to Assignment by Banks. Except as provided herein, each Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it, the Notes held by it and its participating interest in the risk relating to any Letters of Credit); provided that (a) the Agent, Swingline Lender and Fronting Bank and, other than during an Event of Default, the Borrower each shall have the right to approve any Eligible Assignee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being agreed that the Agent, the Borrower, Swingline Lender and Fronting Bank, as applicable, must approve or reject a proposed Eligible Assignee within seven (7) days of receiving a written request from any Bank for such approval (provided that the request for approval sent to each of Agent, Borrower, Swingline Lender and Fronting Bank, respectively, is

-90-

conspicuously marked with the following legend: “REQUEST FOR APPROVAL — TIME SENSITIVE — MUST RESPOND WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS”) and if the Agent, the Borrower, Swingline Lender or Fronting Bank, as applicable, fails to respond within such seven (7) day period, such request for approval shall be deemed approved by, respectively, the Agent, the Borrower, Swingline Lender and Fronting Bank, as the case may be, (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (c) subject to the provisions of §2.7, after giving effect to such assignment, both the assignee and assignor Banks shall have at all times an amount of its Commitment of not less than $10,000,000 unless otherwise consented to by the Agent and, other than during an Event of Default, the Borrower and (d) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined), an assignment and assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (an “Assignment and Assumption”), together with any Notes subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the execution thereof unless otherwise agreed by the Agent (provided any assignee has assumed the obligation to fund any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the assigning Bank shall, to the extent provided in such assignment and upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §20.3, be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Any such Assignment and Assumption shall run to the benefit of the Borrower and a copy of any such Assignment and Assumption shall be delivered by the Assignor to the Borrower.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause (a) of the preceding paragraph, any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower, make an assignment otherwise permitted hereunder to (x) another Bank, and (y) an Affiliate of such Bank, provided that such Affiliate is an Eligible Assignee. Without limiting the provisions of §17, with respect to an assignment by a Bank to its Affiliate or to another Bank which does not require the consent of the Borrower, unless such assignment occurs at the request of the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses attributable to such assignment, all of which shall be payable by the assigning Bank.

§20.2. Certain Representations and Warranties; Limitations; Covenants.

§20.3. Register. The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, the Banks from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Banks at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Bank agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $2,500.

§20.4. New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks (other than the assigning Bank). Unless done simultaneously with the Assignment and Assumption, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, (i) shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Revolving Credit Note, a new Revolving Credit Note and Swingline Note or Bid Rate Note, if applicable, to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the assigning Bank has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Revolving Credit

-92-

Note and other Note, if applicable, to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder and (ii) shall deliver an opinion from counsel to the Borrower in substantially the form delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to §12.9 as to such new Notes. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

§20.5. Participations. Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) each such participation shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000,000, (b) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Bank hereunder to the Borrower and the Agent and the Bank shall continue to exercise all approvals, disapprovals and other functions of a Bank, and (c) the only rights granted to the participant pursuant to such participation arrangements with respect to waivers, amendments or modifications of, or approvals under, the Loan Documents shall be the rights to approve waivers, amendments or modifications that would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loans, extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Bank as it relates to such participant, reduce the amount of any fees to which such participant is entitled or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest.

§20.6. Pledge by Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Bank at no cost to the Borrower may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Notes) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Bank from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§20.7. No Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without prior Unanimous Bank Approval.

§20.8. Disclosure. The Borrower agrees that, in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices, any Bank may disclose information obtained by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder. Any such disclosed information shall be treated by any assignee or participant with the same standard of confidentiality set forth in §8.10.

§20.9. Syndication. The Borrower acknowledges that the Arrangers intend, and acknowledges that the Arrangers shall have the right, by themselves or through their respective Affiliates, to syndicate or enter into co-lending arrangements with respect to the Loans and the Total Commitment pursuant to this §20, and the Borrower agrees to cooperate with the Arrangers’ and their respective Affiliates’ syndication and/or co-lending

-93-

efforts, such cooperation to include, without limitation, the provision of information reasonably requested by potential syndicate members.

§21. Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

(i) if to the Borrower, the Agent, the Arrangers, the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 21; and

(ii) if to any other Bank, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its administrative questionnaire as supplied by Agent to each Bank (an “Administrative Questionnaire”).

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when received (with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof (which acknowledgment may be by answerback acknowledgment) except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Arrangers, the Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to the Arrangers, any Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Fronting Bank if such Person has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication. The Agent, the Arranger or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an electronic mail (“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

-94-

been sent (and received, if the acknowledgment contemplated above has been obtained) 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.

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM (as defined in §8.10(e)) IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER INFORMATION OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER INFORMATION. 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 THE BORROWER INFORMATION OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Agent or the Arrangers or any of their Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s or the Arrangers’ transmission of Borrower Information through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith breach of this Agreement of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower, the Agent, the Arrangers, the Fronting Bank and the Swingline Lender may change its address, email address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Bank may change its address, email address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Agent, the Fronting Bank and the Swingline Lender. In addition, each Bank agrees to notify the Agent from time to time to ensure that the Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and email address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Bank.

(e) Reliance by Agent, Fronting Bank and Banks. The Agent, the Arrangers, the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Bank and the Banks shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms

-95-

thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Arrangers, the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Bank, each Bank and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the good faith reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no liability hereunder for any such indemnified party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

§22. THIRD PARTY RELIANCE. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties signatory hereto, Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, Participants to the extent provided in §20.5 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Related Parties, and each of the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

§23. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED THEREIN, ARE CONTRACTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF SUCH COMMONWEALTH (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). EACH OF THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS SITTING IN SUFFOLK COUNTY OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS AND CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN §21. THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

§24. HEADINGS. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.

§25. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

-96-

§26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ETC. The Loan Documents and any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided in §27.

§27. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CERTAIN DAMAGE CLAIMS. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ALL INDEMNIFIED PARTIES) ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES PURSUANT TO M.G.L. C. 93A ET SEQ. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY BANK, THE ARRANGERS, THE SWINGLINE LENDER, THE FRONTING BANK OR THE AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH BANK, ARRANGERS, SWINGLINE LENDER, FRONTING BANK OR THE AGENT WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS, THE SWINGLINE LENDER, THE FRONTING BANK AND THE BANKS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.

§28. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or BPI or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Banks.

-97-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unanimous Bank Approval shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that:

(i) reduces or forgives any principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon (including any interest “breakage” costs) or any fees due any Bank hereunder, or permits any prepayment not otherwise permitted hereunder; or

(ii) changes the unpaid principal amount of any Loan, reduces the rate of interest applicable to any Loan, or reduces any fee payable to the Banks hereunder; or

(iii) changes the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan (including, without limitation, any extension of the Maturity Date) or any fees payable hereunder (including, without limitation, the waiver of any monetary Event of Default) or results in the expiration date of any Letter of Credit being after the Maturity Date; or

(iv) changes the amount of any Bank’s Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment permitted under §20.1) or increases the amount of the Total Commitment except as permitted hereunder; or

(v) modifies any provision herein or in any other Loan Document which by the terms thereof expressly requires Unanimous Bank Approval; or

(vi) changes the definitions of Required Banks or Unanimous Bank Approval.

No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or the Banks or any Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial to such right or any other rights of the Agent or the Banks. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification to §16 or to the fee payable to the Agent under this Agreement may be made without the prior written consent of the Agent, and the waiver of any fee payable to the Agent shall require only the consent of the Agent. In addition, no amendment or modification to or waiver of the provisions of §2.8 may be made without the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender or of the provisions of §§3.1 through 3.6 may be made without the prior written consent of the Fronting Bank and, without limitation of the provisions requiring Unanimous Bank Approval or the consent of the Required Banks, no amendment or modification to or waiver of the provisions of §2.9 may be made without the prior written consent of those Banks holding more than 50% of the outstanding Bid Rate Advances at the applicable time of reference.

-98-

§29. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

§30. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Bank holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this §30 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Bank in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Bank.

-99-

§31. USA PATRIOT ACT, ETC. NOTICE. Each Bank that is subject to any of the Acts (as hereinafter defined), the Arrangers and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and other applicable federal or other laws with respect to the verification of customer identities (collectively, the “Acts”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank, the Arrangers or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Acts.
