ARTICLE II.

THE CREDIT

2.1 Commitment.

From and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time in amounts not to exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment minus such Lender’s Percentage of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and minus such Lender’s Percentage of any outstanding Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. The Commitments of each Lender to lend hereunder shall expire on the Facility Termination Date.

2.2 Final Principal Payment and Extension Option.

Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date. The Facility Termination Date can be extended for one year upon notice to the Administrative Agent at least ninety (90) days (but no more than 180 days) before the original Facility Termination Date if (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such notice and at the time of the original Facility Termination Date, (ii) all of the Lenders agree to such extension, and (iii) the Borrower pays an extension fee equal to 0.20% of the Aggregate Commitment at the time of the extension for the ratable benefit of all accepting Lenders. If the Borrower gives such notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders within 10 days of receipt of such request. The Lenders shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice to notify Administrative Agent as to whether they accept or reject such extension request and Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower at least 45 days prior to the Facility Termination Date of the acceptance or rejection of the Lenders of Borrower’s request to extend the Facility Termination Date. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied other than the condition requiring the consent of all Lenders, then Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender that does not agree to the extension provided that: (a) Borrower notifies such Lender that it has elected to replace such Lender and notifies such Lender and the Administrative Agent of the identity of the proposed replacement Lender at least 15 Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date and (b) the proposed replacement Lender is a Qualified Lender. The Lender being replaced shall assign its Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and its rights and obligations under this Facility to the replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment and the replacement Lender shall assume such Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and the related obligations under this Facility prior to the Facility Termination Date. The purchase by the replacement Lender shall be at par (plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any other sums owed to such Lender being replaced hereunder) which shall

be paid to the Lender being replaced upon the execution and delivery of the Assignment and no fee pursuant to Section 13.3.2(ii) shall be required.

2.3 Ratable Loans.

Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to the ratio that their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment except for Swing Line Loans which shall be made by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with Section 2.13 and Competitive Bid Loans made in accordance with Section 2.14. The ratable Advances may be Prime Advances, LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.9 and 2.10.

2.4 Applicable Margins.

The Prime Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Applicable Margin to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to different Types of Advances shall vary from time to time in accordance with the ratings from Moody’s and S&P for either Borrower’s long-term unsecured debt or this Facility. The applicable debt ratings and the Applicable Margins are set forth in the table attached as Exhibit A. All margins and fees change as and when the rating classification changes. In the event both rating agencies have issued a rating and the rating agencies are split on the rating for the Borrower’s long-term unsecured debt or this Facility, the lower rating shall, except as set forth below, be deemed to be the applicable rating (e.g., if the Borrower’s Moody’s long-term unsecured debt or this Facility’s rating is Baa1 and its S&P long-term unsecured debt or this Facility’s rating is BBB then the Applicable Margins shall be computed based on the S&P rating). In the event Moody’s and S&P issue different ratings of the Borrower’s long term unsecured debt and the Borrower has a third rating from Fitch which is different from the Moody’s and S&P ratings, the middle rating of the three ratings shall be deemed the applicable rating. In the event Moody’s and S&P issue different ratings on the Borrower’s long term unsecured debt and the Borrower has a third rating from Fitch which is the equivalent of the Moody’s or S&P rating, the third rating confirming either the Moody’s or S&P rating, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the applicable rating. In the event either Moody’s or S&P has not issued a rating, the rating from the agency that has issued its rating shall govern. The Applicable Margins shall be adjusted effective on the next Business Day following any change in the Borrower’s (or the Facility’s if applicable) Moody’s long-term unsecured debt rating and/or S&P’s long-term unsecured debt rating (and/or Fitch’s long-term unsecured debt rating, if applicable), as the case may be (provided that if Administrative Agent does not receive notice of a change in rating within forty-five days after it occurs then any reduction in Applicable Margin shall be effective only when such notice is received). In the event of a rating agency downgrade, the Borrower will receive a credit for any incremental borrowing cost should the rating agency(ies) restore the higher rating within a ninety day period. In the event that either S&P or Moody’s shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry or the Borrower’s long-term unsecured debt or this Facility, a mutually agreeable substitute rating agency shall be selected by the Required Lenders and the Borrower. If the Required Lenders and the Borrower cannot agree on a substitute rating agency within forty-five (45) days of such discontinuance, the Applicable Margin to be used for the calculation of interest on Advances hereunder shall be Pricing Category 4 (as defined in Exhibit A). Lenders acknowledge that the rating for Borrower’s unsecured long term debt may be issued even though Borrower has no outstanding unsecured long term debt.

If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results in an increase in the Prime Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Applicable Margin and if such increase is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, upon notification to Administrative Agent of the rating change Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to interest accrued from time to time during such period of downgrade or discontinuance and actually paid by the Borrower on the Advances at the differential between such Applicable Margins.

If a rating agency upgrade results in a decrease in the Prime Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Applicable Margin and if such decrease is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored with ninety (90) days thereafter, then Borrower shall pay at the time the next interest payment is due an additional amount equal to interest accrued from time to time during the period of upgrade at the differential between such Applicable Margins.

2.5 Facility Fee.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at a per annum percentage (“Facility Fee Rate”) of the total Aggregate Commitment. The Facility Fee Rate shall vary from time to time based on the Borrower’s long term unsecured debt rating as set forth in the table attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Facility Fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning September 30, 2003 for the period from the date hereof to September 30, 2003, and continuing thereafter on the last day of each subsequent quarter.

2.6 Other Fees.

The Borrower agrees to pay all other fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant to the Borrower’s prior letter agreements with them dated April 3, 2003.

2.7 Minimum Amount of Each Advance.

Each LIBOR Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $2,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), and each Prime Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any Prime Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment. Borrower acknowledges that any LIBOR Advance not in a multiple of $750,000 or $1,000,000 may result in a higher LIBOR Rate.

2.8 Optional Principal Payments.

The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all or any part of outstanding Prime Advances or LIBOR Advances, upon two Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except that no notice shall be required to repay a Swing Line Loan) and each such prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000.00 or in multiples thereof, provided that a LIBOR Advance may not be paid prior to the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period unless Borrower pays the applicable Break-up Fee.

2.9 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances.

Unless Borrower and Lenders have agreed upon a Fixed Rate in accordance with Section 2.15, the Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) (i) not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least one Business Day before the Borrowing Date of each Prime Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan), (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance, and (iii) not later than noon (Chicago time) on the Borrowing Date for each Swing Line Loan, specifying:

(i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iii) the Type of Advance selected (which must be a Prime Advance in the case of Swing Line Loans), and

(iv) in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.

The Borrower shall also deliver together with each Borrowing Notice the compliance certificate required in Section 5.2 and otherwise comply with the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 for Advances. The Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender by facsimile with a copy of each Borrowing Notice and compliance certificate on the same Business Day it is received.

Not later than noon (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans, in funds immediately available in Chicago to the Administrative Agent at the account specified pursuant to Article XIV. The Lenders shall not be obligated to match fund their LIBOR Advances. The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid account.

No LIBOR Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless all of the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than ten (10) different LIBOR Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances outstanding at any one time.

2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances.

Prime Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Prime Advances unless and until such Prime Advances are converted into LIBOR Advances. Each LIBOR Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Advance until the end of the then applicable LIBOR Interest Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Advance shall be automatically converted into a Prime Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such LIBOR Interest Period, such LIBOR Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Advance for the same or another LIBOR Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type (other than a Swing Line Loan) into any other Type of

Advance; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Borrower pays the applicable Break-up Fee. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least one Business Day, in the case of a conversion into a Prime Advance, or three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i) the requested date which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

(ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(iii) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Advance, the duration of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.11 Changes in Interest Rate, Etc.

Each Prime Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Advance into a Prime Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a LIBOR Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Prime Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Prime Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Prime Rate. Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such LIBOR Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate determined as applicable to such LIBOR Advance.

2.12 Rates Applicable After Default.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by written notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued beyond its current term as a LIBOR Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by prior written notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest for the applicable LIBOR Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such LIBOR Interest Period plus 2% per annum until such Default shall have been cured, (ii) each Prime Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Prime Rate otherwise applicable to the Prime Advance plus 2% per annum until such Default shall have been cured and (iii) the Facility Letter of Credit Fee shall be equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin plus 2%; provided that such rates shall become applicable

automatically without notice to the Borrower if a Default occurs under Section 8.7 or Section 8.8.

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 and, if such Swing Line Loan is to be made on the date of the initial Advance hereunder, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 as well, from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Swing Line Commitment, provided that the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and provided further that at no time shall the sum of (i) the Swing Line Lender’s Percentage of the Swing Line Loans, plus (ii) the outstanding Loans made by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.1, plus (iii) the Swing Line Lender’s Percentage of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the Swing Line Lender’s Commitment at such time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Loans at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Borrowing Notice. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) not later than noon (Chicago time) on the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan, specifying (i) the applicable Borrowing Date (which date shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which shall be an amount not less than $100,000. The Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate.

(c) Making of Swing Line Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Swing Line Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by fax, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Swing Line Loan. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the applicable Borrowing Date, the Swing Line Lender shall make available the Swing Line Loan, in funds immediately available in Chicago, to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Swing Line Lender available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

Not later than noon (Chicago time) on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.13, each Lender shall make available its required Revolving Loan, in funds immediately available in Chicago to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall initially be Prime Advances and thereafter may be continued as Prime Advances or

Unless a Lender shall have notified the Swing Line Lender, prior to its making any Swing Line Loan, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 had not then been satisfied, such Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 to repay Swing Line Loans shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or (d) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever.

In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.13, such Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swing Line Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the applicable Swing Line Loan in the amount of such Revolving Loan, and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand and ending on the date such amount is received. On the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.

Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this Section 2.14(d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telex or telecopy at its offices not later than (a) 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at least four Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (b) 9:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, may only be submitted if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein no later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time at which the relevant Competitive Bid Quotes must be submitted by the other Lenders. Subject to the Borrower’s compliance with all other conditions to disbursement herein, any Competitive Bid Quote of a Lender so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto and shall in any case specify:

1) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as that set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes,

2) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (x) may be greater than, less than or equal to the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (y) must be at least $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (z) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers are requested,

3) as applicable, the Competitive LIBOR Margin and Absolute Rate offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan,

4) the minimum amount, if any, of the Competitive Bid Loan which may be accepted by the Borrower, and

5) the identity of the quoting Lender, provided that such Competitive Bid Loan may be funded by such Lender’s Designated Lender as provided in Section 2.14(j), regardless of whether that is specified in the Competitive Bid Quote.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall reject any Competitive Bid Quote that:

1) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto or does not specify all of the information required by Section 2.14(d)(ii),

2) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, other than any such language contained in Exhibit C-3 hereto,

3) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, or

4) arrives after the time set forth in Section 2.14(d)(i).

If any Competitive Bid Quote shall be rejected pursuant to this Section 2.14(d)(iii), then the Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Lender of such rejection as soon as practical.

(e) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.14(d) and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote specifically states that it is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request and the respective

principal amounts and Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rate, as the case may be, so offered.

(f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (i) 6:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at least four Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.14(e); provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection of all such offers. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the terms of Section 2.14(d)(iii)); provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans to be disbursed on a given Borrowing Date may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,

(ii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, and

(iii) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.14(d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers provided, however, that no Lender shall be allocated any Competitive Bid Loan which is less than the minimum amount which such Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept. Allocations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event on the same Business Day, notify each Lender of its receipt of a Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice and the principal amounts of the Competitive Bid Loans allocated to each participating Lender.

(h) Administration Fee. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an administration fee of $2,500 per each Competitive Bid Quote Request transmitted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(b). Such administration fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and on the Facility Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate or be cancelled) for any period then ending for which such fee, if any, shall not have been theretofore paid.

32 (i) Other Terms. Any Competitive Bid Loan shall not reduce the Commitment of the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan, and each such Lender shall continue to be obligated to fund its full Percentage of all pro rata Advances under the Facility. Competitive Bid Loans shall not be prepaid prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period unless the Competitive Bid Lender consents. Competitive Bid Loans may not be continued and, if not repaid at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, shall (subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) be replaced by new Competitive Bid Loans made in accordance with this Section 2.14 or by ratable Advances in accordance with Section 2.3.

(j) Designated Lenders. A Lender may designate its Designated Lender to fund a Competitive Bid Loan on its behalf as described in Section 2.14(d)(ii)(5). Any Designated Lender which funds a Competitive Bid Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee under such Competitive Bid Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Competitive Bid Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time such Competitive Bid Loan is funded.

(k) Notice to Lenders. Administrative Agent shall provide to all bidding Lenders a summary report of each competitive bid request including the amount and rate for each bid awarded.

2.15 Fixed Rate Loans.

In addition to the other interest rate options provided herein, the Borrower may request a fixed rate (“Fixed Rate”) on any ratable Advance for up to one (1) year. The Fixed Rate shall be as quoted by the Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of all of the Lenders. If all of the Lenders do not approve a proposed Fixed Rate quoted by the Administrative Agent then the Fixed Rate Advance shall not be made. If Borrower and Lenders agree to a Fixed Rate for all or a portion of the advances outstanding hereunder, all the provisions contained herein for LIBOR Advances (including without limitation the provisions of Section 4.4 regarding indemnification in the event of prepayment) shall be applicable to such Fixed Rate Advances with the Interest Period being the period of time agreed to by Borrower and Lenders and the LIBOR Rate being equal to the Fixed Rate agreed to by Borrower and Lenders.

2.16 Method of Payment.

All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s account specified pursuant to Article XIV, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (Chicago time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans and Competitive Bid Loans) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its account specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender promptly. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent is not delivered to a Lender by the closing of business on the same Business Day as received by the Administrative Agent (with respect to payments received by 2:00 p.m., Chicago time) or the next Business Day

(with respect to payments received after 2:00 p.m., Chicago time), Lender shall receive from the Administrative Agent interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate on the payment. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the specific account of the Borrower, if any, maintained with Bank One, NA for such purpose, for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent provided that it is received by the Administrative Agent no later than the time specified in this Section 2.16.

2.17 Notes; Telephonic Notices.

Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note. Each Lender’s books and records, including without limitation, the information, if any, recorded by the Lender on the schedule attached to its Note, shall be deemed to be prima facia correct absent manifest error. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation signed by an Authorized Officer of each telephonic notice, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.18 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.

Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and at the Facility Termination Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Interest accrued on each LIBOR Advance shall also be payable on any date on which the LIBOR Advance is prepaid (provided that nothing herein shall authorize a prepayment which is not otherwise permitted hereunder). Interest and Facility Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Chicago time) at the place of payment, unless such Advance is repaid on the date that it was made. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.19 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments.

Promptly after receipt thereof (but in no event later than noon (Chicago time) one Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date for a Prime Advance or the close of business three Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date for a LIBOR Advance) the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it

hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender and the Borrower of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender and the Borrower prompt notice of each change in the Prime Rate and the Applicable Margin.

2.20 Lending Installations.

Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.21 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If the Borrower has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day. If a Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such date. If such Lender does not make such payment upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at the rate applicable to the relevant Loan. Nothing in this Section 2.21 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill any portion of its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its Commitment hereunder.

2.22 Voluntary Reduction of Aggregate Commitment Amount.

Upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent, Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole or in part provided that (a) Borrower may not reduce the Aggregate Commitment below the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure at the time of such requested reduction, (b) any such partial reduction shall be in the minimum aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000.00) or any integral multiple of Five Million Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000.00) in excess thereof and (c) Borrower may not reduce the Aggregate Commitment to an amount less than One Hundred Million Dollars (U.S. $100,000,000.00) unless the Aggregate Commitment is terminated in its entirety. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied pro rata to each Lender’s Commitment.

2.23 Increase in Aggregate Commitment Amount.

So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right from time to time to increase the Aggregate Commitment up to a maximum of $500,000,000 by obtaining the Administrative Agent’s prior written approval and either adding new banks as Lenders or obtaining the agreement, which shall be at such Lender’s or Lenders’ sole discretion, of one or more of the then-current Lenders to increase its or their Commitments. Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new bank or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. On the effective date of each such increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall cause the new or existing Lenders providing such increase, by either funding more than its or their Percentage of new ratable Advances made on such date or purchasing shares of outstanding ratable Loans held by the other Lenders or a combination thereof, to hold its or their Percentage of all ratable Advances outstanding at the close of business on such day; provided that Borrower shall pay any selling Lender funding losses to the same extent as would be required under Section 4.4 in respect of a prepayment. The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding ratable Advances to achieve such result. In no event will such new or existing Lenders providing the increase be required to fund or purchase a portion of any Competitive Bid Loan or Swing Line Loan to comply with this Section on such date. In no event shall the Aggregate Commitment exceed $500,000,000 without the approval of all of the Lenders.

2.24 Usury.

This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or

detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.25 Application of Moneys Received.

All moneys collected or received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Facility directly or indirectly, shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) to the payment of all reasonable costs incurred in the collection of such moneys of which the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Borrower;

(ii) to the reimbursement of any amounts due to the Lenders in accordance with Article 4;

(iii) to the payment of any fee due pursuant to Section 3.8(b) in connection with the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit to the Issuing Bank, to the payment of the Facility Fee to the Lenders, if then due, in accordance with their Percentages and to the payment of the Administrative Agent’s Fee to the Administrative Agent if then due;

(iv) (a) in case the entire unpaid principal of the Facility shall not have become due and payable, the whole amount received as interest and Facility Letter of Credit Fee then due to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender) as their respective Percentages appear (except to the extent there are Swing Line Loans or Competitive Bid Loans outstanding in which event the full amount of interest attributable to the Swing Line Loans and Competitive Bid Loans shall be payable to the Swing Line Lender and Competitive Bid Lenders, respectively, unless the Swing Line Lender or Competitive Bid Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender), together with the whole amount, if any, received as principal first to the Swing Line Lender, unless the Swing Line Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, to repay any outstanding Swing Line Loans and then to the Lenders as their respective Funded Percentages appear, or (b) in case the entire unpaid principal of the Facility shall have become due and payable, as a result of a Default or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then due and payable on the Loan for principal, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate or the interest rate, as applicable, to the Swing Line Lender, unless the Swing Line Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, for all such amounts due in connection with Swing Line Loans and then to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender) as their respective Funded Percentages appear until paid in full; and then to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account until the full amount of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations is on deposit therein; and

(v) to the payment of any sums due to each Defaulting Lender as their respective Percentages appear (provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to set-off against such sums any amounts due from such Defaulting Lender).

3.2 Types and Amounts.

The Issuing Bank shall not except with the prior written consent of all Lenders:

(i) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon such Issuing Bank provided, in such event, the Borrower shall have the right to select (with the approval of the alternate Issuing Bank but not the other Lenders) an alternate Issuing Bank which shall be one of the Lenders;

(ii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Facility Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed $30,000,000 or the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitment;

(iii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit having an expiration date, or containing automatic extension provisions to extend such date, to a date which is after the Business Day immediately preceding the Facility Termination Date; or

(iv) issue any Facility Letter of Credit having an expiration date which is more than fifteen (15) months after the date of its issuance.

3.3 Conditions.

In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 5.2 hereof, the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Issuing Bank at such times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe such documents and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms of the proposed Facility Letter of Credit (it being understood that if any inconsistency exists between such documents and the Loan Documents, the terms

of the Loan Documents shall control) and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form and content;

(ii) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the requested Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of the requested Facility Letter or Credit in particular, provided, in such event, the Borrower shall have the right to select an alternate Issuing Bank which shall be one of the Lenders; and

(iii) there shall not exist any Default or Unmatured Default.

3.4 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.

(a) Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement (a “Letter of Credit Request”) (except that, in lieu of such written notice, the Borrower may give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of such request if confirmed in writing by delivery to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (i) by the close of business on such day (A) of a telecopy of the written notice required hereunder which has been signed by an Authorized Officer, or (B) of a telex containing all information required to be contained in such written notice and (ii) promptly (but in no event later than the requested date of issuance) of the written notice required hereunder containing the original signature of an Authorized Officer); such notice shall specify:

1) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested (which stated amount shall not be less than $50,000);

2) the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Date”);

3) the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire which date (exclusive of automatic extension periods so long as the Facility Letter of Credit gives the Issuing Bank the right to issue a notice that the expiration date will not be extended) shall be a Business Day and shall in no event be later than the earlier of fifteen months after the Issuance Date and the Business Day immediately preceding the Facility Termination Date;

4) the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued (such purpose shall comply with the requirements of Section 7.2);

5) the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; and

39 6) any special language required to be included in the Facility Letter of Credit.

At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the Facility Letter of Credit that the Borrower is requesting be issued, which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section 3.4(a). Administrative Agent shall promptly but in no event later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Issuance Date give a copy of the Letter of Credit Request to the other Lenders. Borrower shall also deliver the compliance certificate required in Section 5.2 together with each Letter of Credit Request.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 hereof have been satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit Request and the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Bank has actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit, or (ii) written or telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.2.

(c) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written or telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Notice”) and Administrative Agent shall promptly give a copy of the Issuance Notice to the other Lenders.

(d) The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit (other than an automatic extension) unless the requirements of this Section 3.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.

(a) The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders that such draw has occurred. Any such draw shall constitute an Advance of the Facility in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at a rate selected by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof; provided that if any Default or an Unmatured Default involving the payment of money exists at the time of any such drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from the date funded at the Default Rate.

(b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to

Borrower or any Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 3.4, relieve a Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

3.6 Participation.

(a) Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Each Lender’s obligation to make further Loans to the Borrower (other than any payments such Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or issue any letters of credit on behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such Lender’s Percentage of the undrawn portion of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.

(b) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of the same, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of Borrower’s intent to repay the Reimbursement Obligation on the date of the related drawing under any Facility Letter of Credit, such Reimbursement Obligation shall simultaneously with such drawing be converted to and become a Prime Loan as set forth in Section 2.10. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. Any Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 3.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(c) If the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage thereof.

(d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, an Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit

to which that Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or Lender.

(e) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

3.7 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect of any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.

3.8 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, based upon the Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to each Facility Letter of Credit that is equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall be due and payable in arrears in equal installments on the first Business Day of each month following the issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.16 hereof.

(b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee of 0.15% of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit, payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit.

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

4.1 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or

applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Loans, or

(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances), or

(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Loans or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation of making or maintaining its LIBOR Loans or Commitment or issuing or participating in Facility Letters of Credit, or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection therewith, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

4.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender reasonably determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of written demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans, its interest in the Facility Letters of Credit, or its Commitment to make Loans hereunder or participate in or issue Facility Letters of Credit (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including

transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

4.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its LIBOR Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining LIBOR Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of LIBOR Advances and require any affected LIBOR Advances to be repaid or converted to Prime Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 4.4.

4.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such LIBOR Advance.

4.5 Taxes.

(i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 4.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30

days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 4.6.

(iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv), above, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes. If a Non-U.S. Lender recovers Taxes that were previously paid by Borrower on behalf of such Non-U.S. Lender, then such recovered amount shall be paid to Borrower.

(vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the

Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 4.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

4.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Advances under Section 4.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 4.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement for a period of one year.

4.7 Limitation on Borrower’s Liability. The Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 for any amounts attributable to a period more than one year prior to such Lender’s written notice under Section 4.6 of its intention to seek compensation under Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4.

7.8 Maintenance of Properties.

The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries, Qualifying Investment Affiliates and Special Qualifying Investment Affiliates to, do all things necessary to maintain, preserve, protect and keep its Property in good repair, working order and condition, and make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals and replacements so that their businesses carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless at the time of distribution there exists a Default in the payment of principal, interest, or the Facility Fee, the Borrower shall be permitted to distribute whatever amount of dividends is necessary to maintain its tax status as a real estate investment trust.

The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries Qualifying Investment Affiliates, or Special Qualifying Investment Affiliates to, enter into any merger, consolidation, reorganization or liquidation or transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of their Property if such disposition would constitute a “Restricted Disposition,” except for (i) such transactions that occur between Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, (ii) transactions where Borrower is the surviving entity and there is no change in business conducted or loss of an investment grade rating on such entity’s long-term unsecured debt and no other Default results from such transaction, (iii) the sale by a Special Qualifying Investment Affiliate of all of its assets pursuant to a buy-sell agreement provided that Borrower remains in compliance with all covenants concerning Unencumbered Assets contained herein, or (iv) transactions that are approved in advance in writing by the Lenders. For purposes of this Section 7.12, a “Restricted Disposition” shall mean any disposition of assets (exclusive of Like-Kind Exchanges of one industrial/warehouse property for another and dispositions of Non-industrial Properties and Presold Assets Under Development) if such disposition is of assets that (i) when aggregated with all other assets of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, Qualifying Investment Affiliates and Special Qualifying Investment Affiliates previously disposed of during the fiscal year (exclusive of Like-Kind Exchanges of one industrial/warehouse property for another and dispositions of Non-industrial Properties and Presold Assets Under Development), comprise more than 10% of Market Capitalization for the most recent available quarter or (ii) when aggregated with all other assets of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, Qualifying Investment Affiliates and Special Qualifying Investment Affiliates previously disposed of (exclusive of Like-Kind Exchanges of one industrial/warehouse property for another and dispositions of Non-industrial Properties and Presold Assets Under Development) from the date hereof to the date of such sale comprise 25% or more of Market Capitalization for the most recent available quarter. For purposes of aggregating the assets disposed, the Market Capitalization attributable to assets disposed during a period shall be reduced by the Market Capitalization attributable to assets acquired during the same period.

7.13 Transfers of Unencumbered Assets.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Qualifying Investment Affiliates shall transfer or otherwise dispose of (other than the creation or incurrence of Liens permitted under Section 7.16) an Unencumbered Asset (excluding its Non-industrial Properties and Presold Assets Under Development) without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders if the

transfer or disposition of such Unencumbered Asset, together with the transfer or disposition of any other Unencumbered Assets (excluding the Non-industrial Properties and Presold Assets Under Development) which have been disposed of during the period of four fiscal quarters ending with the quarter during which such transfer occurs, would cause the Value of Unencumbered Assets to decrease by more than 20% during such four quarter period, after giving effect to the Value of Unencumbered Assets acquired or disposed of during such period or if such transfer would result in a violation of the covenants contained in Sections 7.20 and 7.21.

7.14 Ownership and Control of Borrower.

The Borrower’s management (president, vice president, senior vice president, secretary, treasurer, executive vice president, chief financial officer or chief executive officer) and directors shall directly or indirectly control the ownership (which shall include vested options) of a minimum 550,000 common shares of the Borrower adjusted for stock splits, provided that if Borrower’s management and directors fail to maintain such ownership, such failure shall not constitute a Default unless such failure continues for six months without approval by the Required Lenders of such lower level of ownership.

7.15 Subsidiaries, Qualifying Investment Affiliates and Special Qualifying Investment Affiliates.

In the event that Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Capital Stock (other than intercompany transfers where following such transfer the assets of the Subsidiary or Qualifying Investment Affiliate still meet the requirements for being an Unencumbered Asset) or other ownership interests in any Subsidiaries or Qualifying Investment Affiliates, such transfer or disposal shall be treated as though the applicable Subsidiary or Qualifying Investment Affiliate had disposed of its assets for purposes of determining whether such disposition is a Restricted Disposition as defined in Section 7.12 or whether such disposition requires a written consent of Lenders pursuant to Section 7.13.

7.16 Liens.

The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries or Qualifying Investment Affiliates to, create, incur, or suffer to exist any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or Qualifying Investment Affiliates except:

(ii) Liens which arise by operation of law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s, landlords’, materialmen and mechanics’ liens and other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business which secure payment of obligations not more than 30 days past due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall have been set aside on its books in accordance with GAAP;

Following the occurrence of a Securitized Lease Transaction, Borrower may be required pursuant to GAAP to record the sale of the lease as a borrowing so long as it continues to own the Equity Residual (as such term is defined in the definition of Securitized Lease Transaction), and therefore include in Indebtedness the amount of proceeds received, and include in Interest Expense an imputed amount of interest on such Indebtedness, determined in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding such treatment required by GAAP, for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days following such Securitized Lease Transaction, Borrower may exclude from the calculation of all financial covenants set forth in this Article VII, the Indebtedness (up to an aggregate maximum of 10% of Market Capitalization) and Interest Expense (to the extent related to Indebtedness excluded pursuant to this sentence) associated with the lease that is the subject of such transaction, provided that the revenue recognized from such lease is also excluded from such calculations. If at the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period Borrower continues to own the Equity Residual, then Borrower must include the Indebtedness, Interest Expense and lease revenue in all of Borrower’s covenant calculations in the manner required by GAAP.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Acceleration.

If any Default described in Section 8.7 or 8.8 occurs with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Qualifying Investment Affiliate or Special Qualifying Investment Affiliate, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and to issue Facility Letters of Credit, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, upon written notice to the Borrower.

In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall establish and deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto. The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, which funds will be invested by the Administrative Agent from time to time at its discretion in

certificates of deposit of Bank One, NA having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Obligations in full shall, unless Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the Borrower.

If, within forty-five (45) days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder or to issue Facility Letters of Credit as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 8.7 or 8.8 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) may direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

9.2 Amendments, Waivers, Decisions.

Subject to the provisions of this Article IX and the right of the Borrower, solely with the agreement of the Administrative Agent and such new banks or existing Lenders as may provide new or increased Commitments, to increase the Aggregate Commitment as described in Section 2.24 above, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent or direction in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder, or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all Lenders:

(i) Extend the Facility Termination Date, forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon or the Facility Fee or the fee payable pursuant to Section 2.2 in connection with an extension of the Facility Termination Date, reduce the Applicable Margins on the underlying interest rate options or otherwise modify or add to such interest rate options, or extend the time of payment of any of the Obligations.

(ii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or change any provision that currently requires an approval from the Required Lenders, all Lenders or the specific Lender affected, to approval by a different standard.

(iii) Increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitment beyond $500,000,000.

(iv) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

(v) Amend Section 2.2, 2.3, 3.8(a), 12.2, or this Section 9.2.

(vi) Release or limit the liability of Borrower or any guarantor with respect to the Obligations.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, no amendment increasing the Commitment of any Lender shall be effective without the written consent of such Lender, and no amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loans shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender.

9.3 Preservation of Rights.

No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

10.15 CHOICE OF LAW.

THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

ARTICLE XI.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship.

Bank One, NA is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

11.2 Powers.

The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent.

11.3 General Immunity.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person and except for liability of Administrative Agent for breach of an express agreement made by the Administrative Agent herein to take or not take actions based on the approval or direction of a requisite number of Lenders.

11.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc; Delivery of Information.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrower’s or any such guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to Lenders copies of material notices and information furnished to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which may be distributed by posting on Intralinks or other customary distribution methods. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).

11.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, unless such action or inaction requires the consent of all the Lenders or an individual Lender not included in the direction of the Required Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. The Lenders hereby

acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

11.6 Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel.

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

11.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

11.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.

The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as Lender ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents including reasonable out of pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery of the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the

foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 4.5(vii) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

11.9 Notice of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or unless the default is a failure by Borrower to pay principal, interest or fees due in accordance with this Agreement. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

11.10 Rights as a Lender.

In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers and the same duties and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

11.11 Lender Credit Decision.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

11.12 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with cause by written notice received by the

Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders (provided that for this purpose only, Required Lenders shall mean Lenders having 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Commitment exclusive of the Commitment of the Administrative Agent). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be acceptable to Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be acceptable to Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000 that is generally in the business of making loans comparable to the Loans made under this Facility as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed (and approved by Borrower if required), the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be either a Lender or a commercial bank (or a subsidiary thereof) having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000 that is generally in the business of making loans comparable to the Loans made under this Facility, except that if the successor Administrative Agent is a subsidiary of a bank, such capital and retained earnings requirement shall apply only to the parent bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent and the successor Administrative Agent shall pro rate any agency fees, and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor Administrative Agent, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.

11.13 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, Administrative Agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles X and XI.

11.14 Notice of Defaults.

If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.

11.15 Requests for Approval.

If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period, but in no event less than five Business Days for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request. Upon request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders which Lenders, if any, failed to respond to a request for approval.

11.16 Copies of Documents.

Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each of the Lenders copies of all notices of default and other formal notices sent or received according to Section 14.1 of this agreement. Administrative Agent shall deliver to Lenders within 15 Business Days following receipt, copies of all financial statements, certificates and notices received regarding the Borrower’s unsecured debt rating except to the extent such items are required to be furnished directly to the Lenders by Borrower hereunder. Within fifteen Business Days after a request by a Lender to the Administrative Agent for other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall provide copies of such documents to such Lender except where this Agreement obligates Administrative Agent to provide copies in a shorter period of time.

11.17 Defaulting Lenders.

At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its Percentage of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its Percentage of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Percentage (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans” for the purposes of this section). All amounts paid by the Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. At that point, the “Defaulting Lender” shall no longer be deemed a Defaulting Lender. After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future

payments by the Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 11.17. This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

ARTICLE XII.

RATABLE PAYMENTS

12.1 Intentionally Deleted.

12.2 Ratable Payments.

If any Lender has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 and payments received in connection with Competitive Bid Loans) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XIII.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 Successors and Assigns.

The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section 13.1, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 13.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a

written notice of the transfer is filed with the Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

13.2 Participations.

13.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time, may sell participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. Any Person to whom such a participating interest is sold is a “Participant”. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

13.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan or Commitment or postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Commitment or releases any guarantor of any such Loan or releases any substantial portion of collateral, if any, securing such Loan.

13.3 Assignments.

13.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Subject to any other applicable requirements set forth in this Section 13.3, any Lender, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time, may assign all or any portion (greater than or equal to $5,000,000 per assignee) of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, any assignment by a Lender to another Lender in the Facility or an Affiliate thereof or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender shall not be subject to either the $5,000,000 minimum assignment amount or the requirement set forth below regarding Borrower’s consent or the fee in Section 13.3.2(ii). Any Person to whom such rights and obligations are assigned is a “Purchaser.” Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (the “Assignment”). So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s consent shall be required for any assignment provided that if such assignment is to an entity that is a “Qualified Lender,” such consent shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed. “Qualified Lender” shall mean an institution with assets over $5,000,000,000.00 that is generally in the business of making loans comparable to the Loans made under this Facility and that maintains an office in the United States. Administrative

Agent may make an assignment reducing its Commitment below $25,000,000 only if it first resigns its status as Administrative Agent or it obtains the consent of Borrower or a Default has occurred. The consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), provided that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder shall release Lender from its funding obligations hereunder and such Lender shall retain all voting rights.

13.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “I” to Exhibit F hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender, if applicable, and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

13.4 Designation of Lender to Make Competitive Bid Loans.

Any Lender (each a “Designating Lender”) may at any time designate one or more Designated Lenders to fund Competitive Bid Loans which the Designating Lender is required to fund subject to the terms of this Section 13.4 and the provisions in Section 13.3 shall not apply to such designation. No Lender shall be entitled to make more than two such designations. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance, a Designation Agreement in the form of Exhibit I. Upon its receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon, from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Competitive Bid Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 after the Borrower has accepted a Competitive Bid (or a portion thereof) of the Designating Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the

agent for the Designated Lender and shall on behalf of the Designated Lender give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including without limitation votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communications, vote approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same, and without any specific designation that the Designating Lender is signing in an agency capacity. This Section 13.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

13.5 Dissemination of Information.

The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, provided that such Transferees agree to maintain the confidentiality of any information that is confidential in the manner set forth in Section 10.14.

13.6 Tax Treatment.

If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 4.5.

13.7 Possession of Loan Documents and Register.

The Administrative Agent shall keep and maintain complete and accurate files and records of all matters pertaining to the Loan. Upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Administrative Agent will make available to such Lender and their representatives and agents, the files and records relating to the Facility for inspection and copying during normal business hours. The Administrative Agent shall also maintain at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV, a copy of each Assignment delivered to and accepted by it and a listing of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the amount of each Lender’s Commitment and Percentage (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by Borrower or any Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE XIV.
