          3.02     Usury Limitation.  If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts which constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by Bank as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collection of the loan evidenced hereby, shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Bank to Borrower under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal.  As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher

permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

                         (c)     If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

                         (d)     The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 3.04 constitute full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstance whatsoever.

                         (e)     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Term Loan Agreement, each of the Borrowers hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Term Loans made under this Term Loan Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Bank under or in respect of any of the Obligations, and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Term Loan Agreement.  Each of the Borrowers hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Bank at any time or times in respect of any default by any of the Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Term Loan Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Bank in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any of the

          6.     Liability of the Guarantor.  The Bank shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or remedy under any other guaranty, and the release or discharge of any guarantor of any Obligations shall not affect the continuing liability of the Guarantor hereunder.

          7.     Representations and Warranties; Covenants.  The Guarantor hereby makes and confirms the representations and warranties made on its behalf by the Borrowers pursuant to Article 5 of the Term Loan Agreement, as if such representations and warranties were set forth herein.  The Guarantor hereby agrees to perform the covenants set forth in Article 6 of the Term Loan Agreement (to the extent such covenants expressly apply to the Guarantor) as if such covenants were set forth herein.  The Guarantor acknowledges that it, is, on a collective basis with the Borrowers and all other "Guarantors" (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), bound by the covenants set forth in Article 6 of the Term Loan Agreement.  The Guarantor hereby confirms that it shall be bound by all acts or omissions of the Borrower Representative pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement.

1.	Maria Brennan v. Uncle Bob's Self Storage

Maria Brennan, a former employee at the Alvin, Texas store, filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "EEOC") in Houston, Texas on November 2, 2006, alleging that she had been subject to a hostile work environment because of her sex. Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership responded to the EEOC charge and the EEOC is investigating.

2.	Kelly Evans v. Sovran Self Storage, Inc.

Plaintiff obtained a right to sue letter from the EEOC and filed an action in Texas state court on May 9, 2007, alleging that she was subject to a sexually hostile work environment while working as an Assistant Manager.  The case was removed to the US. District Court for the Western District of Texas on June 22,2007.  The complaint seeks damages for lost pay and emotional distress and does not seek any specific amount as damages. Sovran Self Storage, Inc. is defending the case.

3.	Sovran Self Storage, Inc., as Plan Administrator of the Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership/Uncle Bob's Self Storage Health Benefits Plan v. University of Pittsburgh Medical Center as Assignee of the Estate of Pamela Harford, and UPMC Horizon Greenville

In this action pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, Sovran Self Storage, Inc. as Plan Administrator of the Health Benefits Plan Sponsored by Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership/Uncle Bob's Self Storage ("Plan") seeks a declaratory judgment that it is not obligated to pay certain hospital bills incurred by the late Pamela Harford at a hospital owned and administered by the defendants.  The amount of medical bills in dispute totals $94,761.80.  In its complaint filed earlier this year, the plaintiff asserts that because the Plan participant, Ms. Harford, did not cause her medical bills to be submitted as required by the Plan within the 12 month filing deadline, the Plan has no responsibility to pay those bills.  The defendants have filed an answer and counterclaims pursuant to which they assert that the Plan, which is self-funded by its sponsors, is required to pay the medical bills.  After the complaint and answer were filed in Federal Court, the parties were required to engage in a mediation process mandated by the Court.  That process is on-going.  To date, there has been no discovery in this action.

4.	Paula Hilley and Joel Hilley v. Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership d/b/a Uncle Bob's Self Storage

On August 7, 2007, plaintiffs filed a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Southern Division alleging that managers and maintenance employees at Sovran facilities throughout the United States have

been denied overtime compensation.  The proceeding as a collective action is subject to Court approval.  The complaint seeks unpaid overtime, liquidated damages in the amount of any unpaid overtime, interest and attorneys' fees.  Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership is aware that this action has been filed but has not yet been served.
