INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

THIS INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (this “Intercreditor Agreement”) is dated as of December 7, 2011, and is among the parties listed on the signature page of this Agreement as Creditors (each a “Creditor” and together the “Creditors”).

RECITALS:

A. MM PEACHTREE HOLDINGS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”) is a party to loan agreements dated as of the date hereof with each of the individual Creditors (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, each a “Loan Agreement” and together, the “Loan Agreements”).

B. Pursuant to the Loan Agreements, each of the Creditors have agreed to make loans (each a “Loan” and together the “Loans”) to the Borrower, all on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement with Borrower to which each Creditor is a party.

C. The Creditors desire to set forth their agreement as to their respective rights under the Loan Agreements and any other loan documents related thereto (“Loan Document”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Creditors hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Loan Agreements.

2. Rights to Repayment.

(a) The Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the terms or provisions of any Loan Agreement or any Loan Document, the rights of the Creditors to repayment from Borrower under the Loan Agreements shall be pari passu and shall be considered as having the same priority.

(b) Payments received by any Creditor shall be applied pro rata based on the respective principal balances of the Loans at the time of receipt. If any Creditor receives a payment from the Borrower in excess of its appropriate pro rata share, it will hold such excess in trust for the other Creditors and promptly pay it over to the other Creditors.

3. Notices of Default and Action; Standstill Period. Each Creditor agrees to give each other Creditor a copy of any notice of default or notice of action against the Borrower to be sent by it to the Borrower prior to the sending of such notice to the Borrower, and to notify each other Creditor in writing by electronic mail, by hand delivery or by overnight courier prior to its exercising any remedy against the Borrower, and each Creditor agrees to defer the sending of any such notice to Borrower and to refrain from taking its initial enforcement action against Borrower for a period of fifteen (15) business days from the date of receipt of such notice by the other Creditors. During that fifteen-day period, if a Creditor or Creditors that have collectively


agreed to loan to the Borrower amounts exceeding 44% of the total amounts that all Creditors have agreed to loan to Borrower under the Loan Agreements does not or do not object in writing, the Creditor may take such enforcement action thereafter against Borrower.

4. Full Force and Effect.

(a) The agreements set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether any Creditor in the future seeks to rescind, amend, terminate or reform, by litigation or otherwise, its respective agreements with the Borrower. The agreements made herein are solely for the purpose of establishing the relative priorities of the Creditors as among themselves and shall not inure to the benefit of any other person or entity (“Person”), except to the extent set forth in Section 7(c) below.

(b) The agreements set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations; provided that this Agreement shall be reinstated and remain in full force and effect if any payment to a Creditor is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy of Borrower, or upon or as a result of any Proceeding, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. For the purposes hereof, “Obligations” means (a) the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Loans when and as due whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise and (b) all fees, expenses, indemnities, reimbursements and other obligations, monetary or otherwise, of the Borrower under this Agreement or any Loan Document. For the purposes hereof, “Proceeding” means any voluntary or involuntary insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers or any other proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of a Person.

5. Effect of Bankruptcy Filing. This Intercreditor Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any case of the Borrower under any bankruptcy, reorganization, compromise, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or other similar law and all references herein to the Borrower shall be deemed to apply to the Borrower as a debtor-in-possession and to any trustee in bankruptcy for the estate of the Borrower.

6. Additional Creditors. Additional lenders may be added to this Agreement upon the written consent of all parties hereto, the execution by such additional lenders of an additional signature page to this Agreement evidencing such lender’s agreement to be bound by the terms hereof, and the similar execution by such lenders of a loan agreement with Borrower and such other instruments and agreements as may be required by the Creditors then party hereto. The joinder of any such lender to this Agreement shall not in any way affect the rights or obligations of the Creditors then party hereto. Any such additional lender shall be deemed a “Creditor” for purposes of this Agreement.
