ARTICLE 4

4.1 Agreement to Borrow and Lend; Lenders’ Obligation to Disburse.

     Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees to borrow from Lenders and Lenders agree to lend to Borrower the Loan, for the purposes and subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Agreement. If Lender consists of more than one party, the obligations of each such party with respect to the amount it has agreed to loan to Borrower shall be several (and not joint and several) and shall be limited to its Percentage of the Loan and of each advance.

     (a) The principal amount of the Loan shall not exceed the lesser of (a) Seventy-Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($74,000,000.00), (b) 70% of the Appraised Value of the Project as set out in the Appraisal, (c) 75% of the total cost of the Project as set out in the Budget approved by Agent hereunder, or (d) the maximum principal amount as will result in a Pro Forma Debt Service Coverage of at least 1.20 to 1. If after the date of this Agreement, the Lenders determine that the Appraised Value of the Project is such that the Loan Amount exceeds seventy percent (70%) of the Appraised Value of the Project, then the Loan Amount shall be reduced to not greater than 70% of the Appraised Value of the Project (or such lesser amount as provided in this Agreement), and Borrower shall be required to provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that Borrower has invested cash equity in the Project so that the Loan is deemed In Balance.

     (b) Lenders agree, upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Loan Opening and provided the Loan is In Balance, no Material Adverse Change has occurred with respect to Borrower, any Guarantor, or the Project and no default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to open the Loan to reimburse Borrower for or to pay for a portion of the costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the acquisition and development of the Project and the construction of the Improvements, to the extent provided for in the Budget. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the initial advance as of the date of this Agreement shall be limited to the purchase price of the Land, and no other disbursements other than disbursements from the interest reserve shall be made until the conditions to the Opening of the Loan have been satisfied.

     (c) After the Opening of the Loan, Borrower shall be entitled to receive further successive disbursements of the proceeds of the Loan in accordance with Articles 9, 12 and 13 within ten (10) Business Days after compliance with all conditions precedent thereto, provided that (i) the Loan remains In Balance; (ii) Borrower has complied with all conditions precedent to disbursement from time to time including the requirements of Section 3.2 and Articles 8, 9, 12 and 13; (iii) no Material Adverse Change has occurred with respect to Borrower, any Guarantor, or the Project and (iv) no Event of Default and no default exists hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

     (d) To the extent that Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in noncompliance with any requirements precedent to the initial advance, the Opening of the Loan or precedent to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders, and Agent and Lenders may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrower to comply with all such requirements.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as of the date of this Agreement the Lenders shall disburse to Borrower the amount of $61,750,000.00 for the payment of the purchase price of the Land. On or before the date that is one (1) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders as a principal prepayment of the Loan the sum of $30,457,729.50. Following such prepayment, such amount shall be available to be reborrowed under this Agreement for the purposes set forth in this Agreement.

4.2 Loan Documents.

     Borrower agrees that it will, on or before the date of this Agreement, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Lenders the following documents in form and substance acceptable to Agent:

     (g) Such UCC financing statements as Agent determines are advisable or necessary to perfect or notify third parties of the security interests intended to be created by the Loan Documents.

     (h) Such other documents, instruments or certificates as Agent and its counsel may reasonably require, including such documents as Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and to comply with the laws of the State.

4.3 Term of the Loan.

     (a) All principal, interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. All references herein to the Maturity Date shall mean the Initial Maturity Date, provided that Borrower shall have the right to extend the Maturity Date for one (1) additional twelve (12) month term (the “Extension Option”), thereby extending the Maturity Date to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Initial Maturity Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”).

     (b) Borrower may only exercise the Extension Option upon satisfying the following conditions:

          (i) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent written notice of such election no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) prior to the Initial Maturity Date;

          (ii) There must be no material adverse change in Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s financial condition;

          (iii) Construction of the Improvements has been completed in accordance with all requirements of this Loan Agreement including, without limitation, the Completion Conditions, and a final certificate of occupancy has been issued (it being acknowledged that with respect to any portion of the Project to be occupied by a Tenant which has not been leased, Borrower shall deliver a shell certificate of occupancy);

          (iv) Such notice is accompanied by an extension fee in the amount of 15 basis points (0.15%) of the Loan Amount;

          (v) No Event of Default and no Default shall exist;

          (vi) The Debt Service Coverage is not less than 1.25: 1.00 (and Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a Certificate of Compliance so certifying); and

          (vii) The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof as deemed modified in accordance with the disclosures made and approved as set forth in Section 3.2 above shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date Borrower gives notice of its desire to exercise the Extension Option and on the Initial Maturity Date.

Any unfunded portion of the Loan which is to be used to fund Tenant Work, tenant allowances or leasing commissions after the initial Maturity Date shall be included in the Loan Amount for the purposes of Section 4.3(b)(iv) and (vi).

4.4 Prepayments.

     Borrower shall have the right to make prepayments of the Loan, in whole or in part, without prepayment penalty, at any time, upon not less than three (3) days’ prior written notice to Agent. No prepayment of all or part of the Loan shall be permitted unless same is made together with the payment of all Breakage Costs.

4.5 Required Principal Payments.

     All principal shall be paid on the Maturity Date.

4.6 Late Charge.

     Any and all amounts due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents which remain unpaid more than five (5) days after the date said amount was due and payable shall incur a fee (the “Late Charge”) of four percent (4%) per annum of said amount, which payment shall be in addition to all of Agent’s and Lenders’ other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, provided that no Late Charge shall apply to the final payment of principal on the Maturity Date.

4.7 Funds for Payment.

     All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loan and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by Agent.

4.8 Notes.

     One Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s respective Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all disbursements of the Loan made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of disbursements of the Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such disbursement or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loan set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Note when due.

4.9 No Setoff.

     All payments by the Borrower to Agent for the account of the Lenders or Agent hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding.

ARTICLE 5

5.1 Interest Rate.

     (a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted Base Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”, except that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. For each disbursement of proceeds of the Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Agent irrevocable notice (which may be (A) verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to Agent facsimile confirmation within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice or (B) electronic mail notice within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice) of the requested amount of such disbursement (x) if such disbursement is to bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time on the second Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement and (y) if such disbursement is to bear interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time on the third Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement. Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on the first day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid.

     (b) Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Rate Option”) to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

     (c) The only manner in which Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving Agent irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to Agent facsimile confirmation in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto within twenty-four (24) hours) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted Base Rate as of the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrower again exercises the LIBOR Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Agent shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted Base Rate. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of $1,000,000. At no time may there be more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower shall elect a LIBOR Rate Option, only so much of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as would not become due and payable during the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period shall accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and the remaining principal balance shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

     (d) If Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Agent shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period.

     (e) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year (or a 365-day year in the case that the Adjusted Base Rate shall be the Applicable Rate), including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment. Whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension.

     (f) Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lenders upon demand within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Agent.

     (g) If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Agent shall notify Borrower that Lenders are no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (3) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Base Rate, and (4) Borrower shall pay to Agent the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred by Lenders in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a LIBOR Rate Interest Period.

     (h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. The Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest that is the sum of the applicable rate as stated in this Agreement plus any additional rate of interest resulting from any charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with any of the Loan Documents. This Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Lenders and the Agent.

5.2 [Intentionally Omitted.]

ARTICLE 6

6.1 Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.

     (a) Borrower recognizes that the cost to Lenders of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay Agent additional amounts to compensate Lenders for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of:

          (i) any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of

payments under this Agreement to any Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of any Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by any Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof) (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be charged again the Reserve Percentage already accounted for in the definition of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (C) imposing on any Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by any Lender under the Loan Documents; or

          (ii) the maintenance by a Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).

     (b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.

     (c) Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Agent setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Agent to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of a Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Agent so to notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.

6.2 Borrower Withholding.

     If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of a Lender or any franchise tax imposed on a Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Notes to the maximum extent permitted by law, the sum due from Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, such Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

ARTICLE 7

ARTICLE 10

10.1 Budget.

     Disbursement of the Loan shall be governed by the Budget for the Project, in form and substance acceptable to Agent in Agent’s reasonable discretion. The Budget shall specify the amount of cash equity invested in the Project, and all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatever to be incurred by Borrower in connection with the Project. The Budget shall include, in addition to the Budget Line Items described in Section 10.2 below, the Contingency Fund described in Section 10.3 below, and amounts satisfactory to Agent for soft costs and other reserves acceptable to Agent. The initial Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit H and made a part hereof. Once the Budget is approved by Lenders all changes to the Budget shall in all respects be subject to the prior written approval of Agent.

10.2 Budget Line Items.

     The Budget shall include as line items (“Budget Line Items”), to the extent determined to be applicable by Agent in its reasonable discretion, the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for the completion of the Construction, and all other costs, fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction of the Improvements, leasing commissions, tenant improvements and tenant allowances, operating deficits, real estate taxes, and all other sums due in connection with Construction and operation of the Project, the

Loan, and this Agreement. Borrower agrees that all Loan proceeds disbursed by Agent shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds were disbursed.

     Borrower shall have the right to reallocate cost savings effected by final change order or other appropriate final documentation to other Budget Line Items subject to Agent’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

     Subject to Borrower’s reallocation rights under this Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 below, Lenders shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line Item. Borrower shall pay as they become due all amounts set forth in the Budget with respect to costs to be paid for by Borrower.

10.3 Contingency Fund.

     The Budget shall contain a Budget Line Item designated for the Contingency Fund. Borrower may at any time reallocate fifty percent (50%) of the Contingency Fund without the prior approval of the Agent. Of the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Contingency Fund, Borrower may, without the prior approval of Agent, reallocate the balance of such funds pro rata based on the percentage of completion of Construction (provided that any hard cost contingency may only be reallocated for hard costs, not soft costs). Any additional request to reallocate funds from the Contingency Fund shall be subject to Agent’s written approval in its reasonable discretion.

     Borrower agrees that the decision with respect to utilizing portions of the Contingency Fund in order to keep the Loan “In Balance” shall be made by Agent in its reasonable discretion, and that Agent may require Borrower to make a Deficiency Deposit even if funds remain in the Contingency Fund.

10.4 Optional Method for Payment of Interest.

     For Borrower’s benefit, the Budget includes a Budget Line Item for interest payments on the Loan. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent from time to time, for the mutual convenience of Lenders and Borrower, to disburse Loan proceeds to pay all the then accrued interest on the Notes, regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically requested a disbursement of such amount (and any such advance made without the submission by Borrower of a disbursement request shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate). Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes and shall, when disbursed, bear interest at the Applicable Rate. The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate Agent to make disbursements of the Loan for interest payments (except upon Borrower’s qualifying for and requesting disbursement of that portion of the proceeds of the Loan allocated for such purposes in the Budget) nor prevent Borrower from paying accrued interest from its own funds.

ARTICLE 11

11.1 Loan In Balance.

     Anything contained in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that in Agent’s reasonable discretion the Loan shall at all times be “In Balance”, on a Budget Line Item and an aggregate basis. A Budget Line Item shall be deemed to be “In Balance” only if Agent in its reasonable discretion determines that the amount of such Budget Line Item is sufficient for its intended purpose. The Loan shall be deemed to be “In Balance” in the aggregate only when the total of the undisbursed portion of the Loan less the Contingency Fund which Borrower may not reallocate pursuant to Section 10.3 without Agent’s approval (subject to Borrower’s reallocation rights under Section 10.3), equals or exceeds the aggregate of (a) the costs required to complete the construction of the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the Budget, including, without limitation, all Tenant Work required to be performed by Borrower or tenant allowances to be paid for by Borrower under Leases or reasonably anticipated for unleased space; (b) the amounts to be paid as retainages to persons who have supplied labor or materials to the Project; and (c) all other hard and soft costs not yet paid for in connection with the Project, as such costs and amounts described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) may be estimated and/or

approved in writing by Agent from time to time. Borrower agrees that if for any reason, in Agent’s reasonable discretion, the amount of such undistributed Loan proceeds shall at any time be or become insufficient for such purpose regardless of how such condition may be caused, Borrower will, within ten (10) days after written request by Agent, deposit the deficiency with Agent (“Deficiency Deposit”). The Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted before any further disbursement of Loan proceeds shall be made. Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Loan disbursements if and for as long as the Loan is not “In Balance”.

ARTICLE 12

12.1 Applicability of Sections.

     The provisions contained in this Article 12 shall apply to the Opening of the Loan and to all disbursements of proceeds during Construction.

12.2 Monthly Payouts.

     After the Opening of the Loan, further disbursements shall be made during Construction from time to time as the Construction progresses, but no more frequently than once in each calendar month. At Agent’s option following an Event of Default, disbursements may be made by Agent into an escrow and subsequently disbursed to Borrower by the Title Insurer. If such option is exercised, those Loan proceeds shall be deemed to be disbursed to Borrower from the date of deposit into that escrow and interest shall accrue on those proceeds from that date, regardless of the date such proceeds are released by the Title Insurer.

12.3 Documents to be Furnished for Each Disbursement.

     As a condition precedent to each disbursement of the Loan proceeds (including the initial disbursement at the Opening of the Loan), Borrower shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Agent the following documents covering each disbursement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent:

     (a) A completed Borrower’s Certificate in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto and made a part hereof and a completed Soft and Hard Cost Requisition Form in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto and made a part hereof, each executed by the Authorized Representative;

     (b) A completed standard AIA Form G702 and Form G703 signed by the General Contractor and the Project Architect, together with General Contractor’s sworn statements and unconditional waivers of lien, and all subcontractors’, material suppliers’ and laborers’ conditional waivers of lien, covering all work, to be paid with the proceeds of the prior draw requests, together with such invoices, contracts or other supporting data as Agent may require to evidence that all costs for which disbursement is sought have been incurred;

     (c) Paid invoices of $10,000 or greater (for soft costs only) together with an invoice register for all costs on a line-by-line basis, or other evidence satisfactory to Agent that fixtures and equipment, if any, have been paid for and are free of any lien or security interest therein;

     (d) An examination of title indicating no intervening lien or objection to title and an endorsement to the Title Policy issued to Agent covering the date of disbursement, increasing the coverage under the Title Policy to the amount of the Loan that has been advanced, and showing the Deed of Trust as a first, prior and paramount lien on the Project subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and real estate taxes that have accrued but are not yet due and payable and particularly that nothing has intervened to affect the validity or priority of the Deed of Trust;

     (e) Copies of any proposed or executed Change Orders on standard AIA G701 form, which have not been previously furnished to Agent;

     (f) Copies of the General Contract and all Major Subcontracts which have been executed since the last disbursement, together with any Bonds obtained or required to be obtained with respect thereto;

     (g) All Required Permits and all other Governmental Approvals which have been obtained since the last disbursement and are then needed in connection with the Project;

     (i) Such other instruments, documents and information as Agent or the Title Insurer may reasonably request;

     (j) An updated Survey if reasonably required by the Title Insurance Company or the Agent if the Agent shall reasonably believe that there exists any encroachment, any matter which might materially and adversely affect title to the Project, or any material deviation from the Plans and Specifications, which in each case would be reflected in an updated Survey, in which event additional updated Surveys may be required by the Agent; and

     (k) At the option of Agent, an amendment to the Security Documents which specifically identifies any furniture, fixtures or equipment purchased by Borrower for use in connection with the Project.

     Disbursements shall be made ten (10) business days after receipt of all information required by Lenders to approve the requested disbursements.

12.4 Retainages.

     At the time of each disbursement of Loan proceeds until completion of fifty percent (50%) of the Construction (as reasonably estimated by Architect and approved by Lender’s Consultant), ten percent (10%) of the total amount then due the General Contractor and the various contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers for costs of the Construction shall be withheld from the amount disbursed, and thereafter no additional retainage shall be withheld unless Borrower is withholding retainage as to the General Contractor or any other contractors, subcontractors or suppliers, and then retainage shall be held in such amount. The retained Loan amounts for the Construction costs will be disbursed only at the time of the final disbursement of Loan proceeds under Article 13 below; provided, however, upon the satisfactory completion of one hundred percent (100%) of the work with respect to any trade (including any trade performed by the General Contractor), Tenant Work or the delivery of all materials pursuant to a purchase order in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as certified by the Architect and the Lender’s Consultant, Agent may decide on a case by case basis (but shall not be obligated) to permit retainages with respect to such trade or order, as the case may be, to be disbursed to Borrower upon the Lender’s Consultant’s approval of all work and materials and Agent’s receipt of a final waiver of lien with respect to such completed work or delivered materials.

12.5 Disbursements for Materials Stored On Site.

     Any requests for disbursements which in whole or in part relate to materials, equipment or furnishings which Borrower owns and which are not incorporated into the Improvements as of the date of the request for disbursement, but are to be temporarily stored at the Project, shall be made in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000. Any such request must be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Agent that (i) such stored materials are included within the coverages of insurance policies carried by Borrower, (ii) the ownership of such materials is vested in Borrower free of any liens and claims of third parties, (iii) such materials are properly insured and protected against theft or damage, (iv) the materials used in the Construction are not commodity items but are uniquely fabricated for the Construction, (v) the Lender’s Consultant has viewed and inspected the stored materials, and (vi) in the opinion of the Lender’s Consultant the stored materials are physically secured and can be incorporated into the Project within forty five (45) days. Agent may require separate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements to cover any such stored materials.

12.6 Disbursements for Offsite Materials.

     Agent may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, approve disbursements for materials stored off site, in which event all of the requirements of Section 12.5 shall be applicable to such disbursement as well as any other requirements which Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine are appropriate under the circumstances.

12.7 Disbursements For Tenant Work and Allowances and Leasing Commissions.

     (a) Lenders shall not be obligated to make any disbursements for tenant allowances or Tenant Work unless the applicable Tenant has accepted in writing the premises demised by its Lease, all required certificates of occupancy or other permits have been issued with respect to such demised premises and pursuant to such Tenant’s Lease, such Tenant is required to commence paying rent within three (3) months from such date. These requirements shall apply notwithstanding any contrary requirements of any Lease.

          (iv) plans and specifications for the leased space, together with a certificate from an architect acceptable to Agent that such plans and specifications comply with all Laws affecting the Project and the lease covering such leased space; and

          (v) a fully executed Lease approved by Agent or the Required Lenders as required by this Agreement covering such leased space.

     (c) Disbursements for leasing commissions shall be subject to the following conditions and receipt of the following, all of which shall be subject to the approval of Agent:

If Borrower has not satisfied all conditions precedent to, and otherwise qualified for, the Opening of the Loan on or before said date Agent may (and at the request of the Required Lenders shall) terminate Lenders’ obligation to fund the Loan by written notice to Borrower and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable.

     (b) Construction of Improvements. The Improvements shall be constructed and fully equipped in a good and workmanlike manner with materials of high quality, strictly in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (or in accordance with any changes therein that may be approved in writing by Agent or as to which Agent’s approval is not required), and such construction and equipping will be commenced on or before the Construction Commencement Date and prosecuted with due diligence and continuity in accordance with the Construction Schedule and fully completed not later than the Completion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts to be funded pursuant to this Agreement to pay for Tenant Work, tenant allowances and leasing commissions pursuant to Section 12.7 may be funded (and the corresponding work completed) after the Completion Date. The Completion Date shall be extended in writing by Agent by the number of days resulting from any Unavoidable Delay in the construction of the Project, (but under no circumstances shall Agent or Lenders be obligated to extend the Completion Date by more than ninety (90) days, provided that Agent shall not be obligated to grant any such extension unless (a) Borrower gives notice of such delay to Agent within ten (10) days of learning of the event resulting in such delay, (b) after giving effect to the consequences of such delay, the Loan shall remain “In Balance” and (c) such delay is permitted under each of the Leases, or Borrower obtains a written extension from each Tenant whose Lease does not permit such delay.

     (c) Changes in Plans and Specifications. No changes will be made in the Plans and Specifications without the prior written approval of Agent; provided, however, that Borrower may make changes to the Plans and Specifications if (i) Borrower notifies Agent in writing of such change within seven (7) days thereafter; (ii) Borrower obtains the approval of all parties whose approval is required, including any Tenants under Leases, sureties, and any Governmental Authority to the extent approval from such parties is required; (iii) the structural integrity of the Improvements is not impaired; (iv) no material change in architectural appearance is effected; (v) the performance of the mechanical, electrical, and life safety systems of the Improvements is not affected; (vi) the cost of or reduction resulting from such change (x) does not exceed $500,000 and (y) when added to all other changes which have not been approved by Agent in writing, the resulting aggregate cost or does not exceed $1,000,000. Changes in the scope of construction work or to any construction related contract must be documented with a change order on the AIA Form G701 or equivalent form.

     (d) Inspection by Agent and Lenders. Borrower will cooperate with Agent in arranging for inspections by representatives of Agent of the progress of the Construction from time to time including an examination of (i) the Improvements, (ii) all materials to be used in the Construction, (iii) all plans and shop drawings which are or may be kept at the construction site, (iv) any contracts, bills of sale, statements, receipts or vouchers in connection with the Improvements, (v) all work done, labor performed, materials furnished in and about the Improvements, (vi) all books, contracts and records with respect to the Improvements, and (vii) any other documents relating to the Improvements or the Construction. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender’s Consultant to enable him to perform his functions hereunder. The Borrower shall permit the Lenders, through the Agent or any representative designated by the Agent, and the Lender’s Consultant, at the Borrower’s expense, to visit and inspect the Project and all materials to be used in the construction thereof and will cooperate with the Agent and the Lender’s Consultant during such inspections (including making available working drawings of the Plans and Specifications); provided that this provision shall not be deemed to impose on the Lenders, the Agent or the Lender’s Consultant any obligation to undertake such inspections. Borrower shall, upon Agent’s or Lender’s Consultant’s request, correct any defect in the Construction or any failure of the Construction to comply with the Plans and Specifications.

     (e) Mechanics’ Liens and Contest Thereof. Borrower will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Project or any funds due to the General Contractor, and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim provided that Borrower posts a statutory lien bond which removes such lien from title to the Project within twenty (20) days of written notice by Agent to Borrower of the existence of the lien. Lenders will not be required to make any further disbursements of the proceeds of the Loan until any mechanics’ lien claims have been removed and Lenders may, at their option, restrict disbursements to reserve sufficient sums to pay 150% of the lien.

     (f) Settlement of Mechanics’ Lien Claims. If Borrower shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) post a statutory lien bond in the manner provided in Section 15.1(e) Agent may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Agent, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Agent shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

     (g) Renewal of Insurance. Borrower shall cause insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit F at all times.

     (h) Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall pay all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Project before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrower has notified Agent of Borrower’s intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Agent, in its sole discretion, and has increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Agent’s request therefor. If Borrower fails to commence such contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by Agent for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment or charge, Agent may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Agent shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Notes). Borrower shall furnish to Agent evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest. Borrower shall keep Agent informed of any material developments in connection with, and the resolution of, the Tax Protest.

     (i) Escrow Accounts. Borrower shall, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, make insurance and tax escrow deposits, in amounts reasonably determined by Agent from time to time as being needed to pay taxes and insurance premiums when due, in an interest bearing escrow account held by Agent in Agent’s name and under its sole dominion and control. All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan. Notwithstanding Agent’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Agent or any Lender to pay any insurance premiums or real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Project unless the Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Agent. If the Event of Default has been satisfactorily cured, Agent shall make available to Borrower such funds as may be deposited in the escrow account from time to time for Borrower’s payment of insurance premiums or real property taxes due with respect to the Project.

     (j) Personal Property. All of Borrower’s personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the Construction or the operation of the Project shall always be located at the Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests.

     (k) Leasing Restrictions. Without the prior written consent of Agent, Borrower and Borrower’s agents shall not (i) enter into any lease which is not a Qualified Lease without the prior written approval of the Required Lenders, and in addition Borrower shall not enter into any Lease (or combination of Leases with the same or a related Tenant) for more than 10,000 square feet of Net Rentable Area without the prior written approval of the Agent, (ii) modify, amend or waive any provision of any Lease for more than 10,000 square feet or terminate any Lease, or (iii) accept any rental payment more than one (1) month in advance of its due date. Borrower shall provide Agent with a copy of all Leases for more than 10,000 square feet or amendments thereto no less than ten (10) days prior to execution of such Leases, and copies of any other Leases or amendments promptly after execution. Borrower shall provide Agent with a copy of the fully executed original of all Leases promptly following their execution. All such Leases shall be on a form approved by Agent without material modification unless otherwise approved by Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable. At Agent’s request, Borrower shall cause all new Tenants to execute subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Agent reserves the right to subordinate the Deed of Trust to any Lease.

     (l) Defaults Under Leases. Borrower will not suffer or permit any breach or default to occur in any of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Leases, suffer or permit to occur any condition which would permit any Tenant to set off, withhold or otherwise abate rent nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrower to meet any requirement of any Lease including those with respect to any time limitation within which any of Borrower’s work is to be done or the space is to be available for occupancy by the lessee. Borrower shall notify Agent promptly in writing in the event a Tenant commits a material default under a Lease.

     (m) Agent and Lenders’ Attorneys’ Fees for Enforcement of Agreement. In case of any default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrower (in addition to Lenders’ and Agent’s attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3) will pay Agent’s and Lenders’ attorneys’ and paralegal fees (including, without limitation, any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom and any post-judgment enforcement action including, without limitation, supplementary proceedings) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Agent or Lenders employ counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Project, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Project, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of the Project, or to enforce any rights of Agent and Lenders or Borrower’s obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of the attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto (including fees and costs of paralegals), shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrower to Agent and Lenders, payable on demand.

     (n) Appraisals. Agent shall have the right to obtain a new or updated Appraisal of the Project from time to time. Borrower shall cooperate with Agent in this regard. If the Appraisal is obtained to comply with this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy promulgated to comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay for any such Appraisal upon Agent’s request.

     (o) Furnishing Information. Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent with respect to Borrower quarterly financial statements within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter and an annual financial statement within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year.

     (r) Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender, including each party owning an interest in the Loan and their respective officers, directors, employees and consultants (each, an “Indemnified Party”) and defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against all claims, injury, damage, loss and liability, cost and expense (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) of any and every kind to any persons or property by reason of (i) the Construction; (ii) the operation or maintenance of the Project; (iii) any breach of representation or warranty, default or Event of Default; or (iv) any other matter arising in connection with the Loan, Borrower, Guarantor, any Tenant, or the Project, including without limitation, any mortgage, recording or intangible taxes and any penalties.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds paid under such letter of credit shall be deposited with the Agent as additional equity and be deemed contributed to the line item in the Budget for Tenant Work, tenant allowances and leasing commissions, and may be disbursed as provided in this Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to disburse and apply any such funds paid under any such letter of credit to the Obligations in such order as Agent may determine.

ARTICLE 16

16.1 Agent’s Election to Apply Proceeds on Indebtedness.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 16.1(b) below, Agent may elect to collect, retain and apply upon the indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents all proceeds of insurance or condemnation (individually and collectively referred to as “Proceeds”) after deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including attorneys’ and adjusters’ fees and charges. Any proceeds remaining after repayment of the indebtedness under the Loan Documents shall be paid by Agent to Borrower.

     (b) Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Agent, at Agent’s option and in Agent’s sole discretion, as attorney in fact for Borrower, to make proof of such loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and

receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Agent’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Borrower authorizes Agent, at Agent’s option (but in no event shall Agent be obligated to), as attorney in fact for Borrower, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Agent or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Taking of the Project and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such Taking. Borrower may not settle, adjust or compromise any casualty or Taking without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything in Section 16.1(a) to the contrary, in the event of any casualty to the Improvements or any condemnation of part of the Project, Agent agrees to make available the Proceeds to restoration of the Improvements if (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) all Proceeds are deposited with Agent, (iii) in Agent’s reasonable judgment, the amount of Proceeds available for restoration of the Improvements (together with undisbursed proceeds of the Loan, if any, allocated for the cost of the Construction and any sums or other security acceptable to Agent deposited with Agent by Borrower for such purpose) is sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) no Leases in effect at the time of such casualty or Taking are or will be terminated or rent decreased as a result of such casualty or Taking, (v) if the cost of restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount, in Agent’s sole determination after completion of restoration the Loan Amount will not exceed 70% of the fair market value of the Project, (vi) in Agent’s reasonable determination, the Project can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance with applicable Laws, (vii) each Guarantor reaffirms the Guaranty in writing, and (viii) in Agent’s reasonable determination, such restoration is likely to be completed not later than three months prior to the Maturity Date.

16.2 Borrower’s Obligation to Rebuild and Use of Proceeds Therefor.

     In case Agent does not elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Proceeds to the indebtedness, as provided in Section 16.1 above, Borrower shall:

     (a) Proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate Governmental Authorities and cause the Proceeds to be deposited with Agent;

     (b) In the event of any delay in making settlement with insurers or the appropriate Governmental Authorities or effecting collection of the Proceeds, deposit with Agent the full amount required to complete construction as aforesaid;

     (c) In the event the Proceeds and the available proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to assure the Agent that the Loan will be In Balance, promptly deposit with Agent any amount necessary to place the Loan In Balance; and

     (d) Promptly proceed with the resumption of construction of the Improvements, including the repair of all damage resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration to its former condition.

     Any request by Borrower for a disbursement by Agent of Proceeds and funds deposited by Borrower shall be treated by Agent as if such request were for an advance of the Loan hereunder, and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent as would be applicable under this Agreement for an advance of the Loan.

ARTICLE 17

17.1 Prohibition of Assignments and Transfers by Borrower.

     Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any purported assignment shall be void. Without the prior written consent of Agent, in Agent’s sole discretion, Borrower shall not suffer or permit (a) any change in the management (whether direct or indirect) of the Project or of Borrower, or (b) any Transfer (provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, OP Guarantor may transfer to a Person up to 49% of the membership interests in Borrower provided that such Transfer does not result in a Change of Control). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Transfer of ownership interests in Parent Guarantor or

OP Guarantor shall not cause a violation of this Section 17.1 so long as such Transfer does not result in a Change of Control.

17.2 Prohibition of Transfers in Violation of ERISA.

     In addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section 17.1 above, Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Project, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge, mortgage, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights in connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result in Agent or any Lender being deemed in violation of any applicable provision of ERISA. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses Agent or such Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Agent or any Lender’s sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions. The foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of Borrower and shall survive repayment of the Notes, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents.

17.3 Successors and Assigns.

     Subject to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Article 17, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

ARTICLE 18

18.1 Time is of the Essence.

     Borrower agrees that time is of the essence under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 19

     The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” as said term is used herein:

     (a) Failure of Borrower (i) (A) to make any principal payment when due (including without limitation the obligation under Section 4.1(e)), (B) to pay any interest within five (5) days after the date when due or (C) to observe or perform any of the other covenants or conditions by Borrower to be performed under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document concerning the payment of money, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Agent that the same is due and payable; or (ii) for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Agent, to observe or perform any non-monetary covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or if such failure is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period but such failure is of a nature that it is capable of being cured, in the event that Borrower in good faith promptly commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently, continuously and in good faith prosecutes such cure to completion, such period shall be extended for an additional thirty (30) days provided that such extended cure period shall not in Lender’s judgment cause any delays in Construction, cause a default under a Lease or result in a Material Adverse Change; and provided further that if a different notice or grace period is specified under any other subsection of this Section 19.1 with respect to a particular breach, or if another subsection of this Section 19.1 applies to a particular breach and does not expressly provide for a notice or grace period the specific provision shall control; provided, however, that if a different notice or grace period or no notice and cure

period is specified under Article 19 of the Loan Agreement (or elsewhere in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document) in which such particular breach will become an Event of Default, the specific provision shall control.

20.1 Remedies Conferred Upon Lenders.

     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:

     (a) Take possession of the Project and complete the Construction and do anything which is necessary or appropriate in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Agent its lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution in the Project to complete the Construction in the name of Borrower; to use unadvanced funds remaining under the Notes or which may be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Notes, to complete the Construction; to make changes in the Plans and Specifications which shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Construction in substantially the manner contemplated by the Plans and Specifications; to retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Project; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements or Project; to take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any of the Bonds to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; and to do any and every act which the Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;

     (b) Withhold further disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan and/or terminate Lenders’ obligations to make further disbursements hereunder;

     (c) Declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable;

     (d) Use and apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by Borrower with Agent or Lenders regardless of the purposes for which the same was deposited, to cure any such default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement which is due and owing to Agent and Lenders;

     (e) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Agent or Lenders by operation of Law.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 19.1(h) with respect to the Borrower, all amounts evidenced by the Notes shall automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Borrower.

ARTICLE 21
GENERAL PROVISIONS

21.1 Captions.

     The captions and headings of various Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement and Exhibits pertaining hereto are for convenience only and are not to be considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.

21.2 Modification; Waiver.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 25.6 herein, no modification, waiver, amendment or discharge of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment or discharge is sought. The Borrower agrees to enter into (and to cause Guarantors to enter into) such modifications or amendments of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as reasonably may be requested by Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loan, provided that no such amendment or modification materially affects or increases any of the obligations of the Borrower or Guarantors hereunder or thereunder.

21.3 Governing Law.

     Irrespective of the place of execution and/or delivery, this Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the District of Columbia.

21.4 Acquiescence Not to Constitute Waiver of Lenders’ Requirements.

     Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lenders and Agent contained in this Agreement may be waived by Agent, Lenders or the Required Lenders as provided herein, provided, however, that to the extent that Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any construction or nonconstruction conditions precedent to the Opening of the Loan or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Agent or any Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.

21.5 Disclaimer by Lenders.

     This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lenders, and no other person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Lenders pursuant to this Agreement. Lenders shall not be liable to any contractors, subcontractors, supplier, architect, engineer, tenant or other party for labor or services performed or materials supplied in connection with the Construction. Lenders shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against Borrower or others or against the Project. Lenders, by making the Loan or taking any action pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Borrower or fiduciary of Borrower. No payment of funds directly to a contractor or subcontractor or provider of services shall be deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or recognition of same by the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

     (a) Lenders shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Construction. Any inspections of the Construction made by or through Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely upon the same with respect to the quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to the Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise;

     (b) Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with the Project, including matters relating to the quality, adequacy or suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors,

subcontractors and material suppliers employed or utilized in connection with the Construction, or the workmanship of or the materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of Construction and its conformity or nonconformity with the Plans and Specifications; Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to Borrower by Lenders in connection with such matters is for the protection of Lenders only, and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon; and

     (c) Lenders owe no duty of care to protect Borrower, any Guarantor or any Tenant against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building or construction.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each reference in this Section 21.5 to Lenders shall also be deemed to refer to Agent.

21.6 Partial Invalidity; Severability.

     If any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

21.7 Definitions Include Amendments.

     Definitions contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of Agent (and, to the extent applicable, the Required Lenders). Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this Agreement.

21.8 Execution in Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

21.9 Entire Agreement.

     This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Agent or Lenders, embody the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

21.10 Waiver of Damages.

     In no event shall Lenders or Agent be liable to Borrower for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by any Lender or Agent of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower for itself and Guarantors waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

21.11 Claims Against Agent or Lenders.

     Agent and Lenders shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Agent within three (3) months after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Agent or such Lender, as applicable, does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly

thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Agent and Lenders arising by reason of any alleged default by Agent or Lenders as to which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Agent’s and Lenders’ ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Agent, Lenders and Borrower with regard to the Loan. No Guarantor or Tenant is intended to have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 21.11.

21.12 Jurisdiction.

     TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY AGENT AND LENDERS. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE LOCAL AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE AGENT OR LENDERS FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BORROWER FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY LOCAL OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.

21.13 Set-Offs.

     After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lenders from time to time to charge Borrower’s accounts and deposits with such Lender (or its Affiliates), and to pay over to such Lender an amount equal to any amounts from time to time due and payable to such Lender hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall exercise its right of set-off under this Section without the prior written approval of Agent. Borrower hereby grants to Lenders a security interest in and to all such accounts and deposits maintained by the Borrower with Lenders (or their Affiliates).

21.14 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds.

     In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

     (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;

     (b) Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Required Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, the Agent’s fee payable pursuant to Section 7.2; (ii) in the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under Section 25.4 and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other Obligations described in this subsection (b), and (iii) except as otherwise provided in clause (ii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses shall be made among the Lenders pro rata; and provided, further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

     (c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

ARTICLE 24
ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

24.1 Assignments and Participations.

     (a) Each Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer, sell, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate this Agreement and any of its rights and security hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any other Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of the Agent and with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consents by the Agent and the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender or if an Event of Default then exists) and no consent of the Agent shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender; provided, however, that (i) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its approval and acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption, (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) if the potential assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the assignment, the potential assignee shall deliver to Agent the fully completed Patriot Act and OFAC forms attached as Exhibit M hereto and such other information as Agent shall require to successfully complete the Agent’s Patriot Act Customer Identification Process and OFAC Review Process, (iv) unless the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower otherwise consent, the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, (v) the Agent shall receive from the assigning Lender a processing fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), and (vi) if the assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire interest in the Loan, the assigning Lender must retain at least a Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000) interest in the Loan. The Agent may designate any Eligible Assignee accepting an assignment of a specified portion of the Loan to be a Co-Agent, an

“Arranger” or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Assignee the rights or duties of the Agent. Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption, (a) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby agrees that all of the rights and remedies of Lenders in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by an Eligible Assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable but for such assignment, and (b) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

     (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) except as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender and Agent make no representation or warranty and assume no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (ii) such assigning Lender and Agent make no representation or warranty and assume no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (iii) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with such financial statements, Loan Documents and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender hereunder; (iv) such Eligible Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, the assigning Lender 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; (v) such Eligible Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

     (c) Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in its records the names and address of each Lender and the Commitment of, and Percentage of the Loan owing to, such Lender from time to time. Borrower, the Agent and Lenders may treat each entity whose name is so recorded as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

     (d) Upon receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been properly completed and consented to if required herein, accept such Assignment and Assumption, and record the information contained therein in its records, and the Agent shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice thereof to Borrower (provided that neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable for any failure to give such notice).

     (e) Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Agent and each Lender in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein but shall not be required to assume any material expense or material additional obligations in connection therewith.

     (f) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder. To facilitate any such pledge or assignment, the Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in, or substantially in, the form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Operating Circular No. 12.

     (g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another branch or affiliate of such Lender without first obtaining the approval of any Agent or the Borrower, provided that (i) such Lender remains liable hereunder unless the Borrower and Agent shall otherwise agree, (ii) at the time of such assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, (iii) such Lender gives the Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such assignment; (iv) the parties to each such assignment execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and (v) the Agent receives from the assigning Lender a processing fee of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500).

     (h) Each Lender shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrower, to sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and all payments to be made under this Agreement and (iv) the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to voting rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (but such holder may contract with the Lender selling such Eligible Assignee its interest in such Lender’s share of the Loan as to voting of such Lender’s interest under Section 25.6(b), but not under any other section of this Agreement, provided that any such agreement by a Lender shall bind only such Lender alone and not Borrower, the other Lenders or the Agent).

     (i) No Eligible Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to subassign such rights and obligations. No participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.

     (j) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lenders may provide to any Eligible Assignee or participant originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrower or received by any Lender in connection with the Loan or with respect to Borrower, provided that prior to any such delivery or communication, such Eligible Assignees or participants shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any of the foregoing to the same extent that such Lender agreed to preserve such confidentiality. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, Borrower shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require; provided, that Borrower shall not be required (i) to execute any document or agreement which would materially decrease its rights, or materially increase its obligations, relative to those set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including financial obligations, personal recourse, representations and warranties and reporting requirements), or (ii) to expend more than incidental sums of money or incidental administrative time for which it does not receive reasonable reimbursement in order to comply with any requests or requirements of any Lender in connection with such assignment or sale arrangement. In addition, Borrower agrees to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding Borrower as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.

24.2 Several Liability.

     Anything in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Lender to Borrower under this Agreement are several and not joint and several; each Lender shall only be obligated to fund its Percentage of each disbursement to be made hereunder up to the amount of its Commitment. During any time, and only during such time, as Agent is the sole Lender and has not assigned any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Agent in its individual capacity shall be liable for all of the obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. From and after the date that Agent as the sole Lender assigns any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, then Agent shall act as the administrative agent on behalf of itself as a Lender and the other Lenders.

ARTICLE 25

25.1 Appointment.

     KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed as Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as agent for Lenders and to take such actions as Agent is obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article in substantially the same manner that it would act in dealing with a loan held for its own account. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof except as provided in Sections 25.2 and 25.20 below. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower.

25.2 Reliance on Agent.

     All acts of and communications by the Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any third party (including any court) shall rely on any and all communications or acts of the Agent with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of a Lender in all circumstances where an action by such Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document or by applicable law without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of any individual Lender as to the authority of Agent with respect to such matter. In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this Article 25.

25.3 Powers.

     The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto or are otherwise necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Loan, and may exercise all other powers of Lenders as are not made subject to the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 25.6(a) or to the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 25.6(b). Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent may consent to or execute easements, plats, dedications, subordination and non-disturbance agreements, release of minor portions of the collateral and similar documents. The Agent shall not be considered, or be deemed, a separate agent of the Lenders hereunder, but is, and shall be deemed, acting in its contractual capacity as Agent, exercising such rights and powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent or Agent is otherwise entitled to

take hereunder. Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

25.4 Disbursements.

     (a) At least one (1) Business Day (by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time) prior to each date a disbursement of the Loan is to be made hereunder pursuant to this Agreement (or at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time for any disbursements to be made at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement. Each Lender shall make available to Agent (or the funding Lender or entity designated by the Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such disbursement (with respect to such Lender, such amount being referred to herein as an “Advance”) in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date such disbursement is to be made (such date being referred to herein as a “Funding Date”). Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to such time for funding in respect of any Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent such Lender’s Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and the Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender on or prior to the respective Funding Date, such Lender agrees to pay and Borrower agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at (A) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (B) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to a disbursement made on such Funding Date. If such Lender shall pay to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance, and if both such Lender and Borrower shall have paid and repaid, respectively, such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrower such corresponding amount in same day funds.

     (b) Requests by the Agent for funding by the Lenders of disbursements of the Loan will be made by facsimile. Each Lender shall make its Advance available to the Agent in dollars and in immediately available funds to such Lender and account as the Agent may designate, not later than Noon (Cleveland time) on the Funding Date. Nothing in this Section 25.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make any Advance on any Funding Date, nor shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any Advance hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advances hereunder.

     (c) As soon as practical Agent will promptly forward to each Lender copies of the Draw Request documents described in Sections 12.3(a), (b) and (d), and cause the Lender’s Consultant to forward to each Lender a copy of the Lender’s Consultant’s most recent inspection. Delivery of the Draw Request documents and the Lender’s Consultant’s inspection report shall not be a condition to funding any Advance.

25.5 Distribution and Apportionment of Payments.

     (a) Subject to Section 25.5(b), payments actually received by Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Agent, but in any event within one (1) Business Day, provided that, if any such payments are not distributed to the Lenders within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s receipt thereof, Agent shall pay to such Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) if the applicable payment represents repayment of a portion of the principal of the Loan, the rate of interest applicable to such portion of the Loan, from the date of receipt of such funds by Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to such Lenders provided such funds are received by Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland time) on the date of receipt. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan, all payments of the fees described in this Agreement (but not in the Agreement Regarding Fees or any separate fee letter except to the extent expressly set forth therein), and all payments in respect of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion of their respective Percentages or otherwise as provided herein in the other Loan Documents, as the case may be. The Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth herein or in its Assignment and Assumption, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that the Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including without limitation

instructions from the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by the Lenders as they may elect, in writing, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower. If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

     (b) If a Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) defaults in making any Advance or paying any other sum payable by it hereunder, such sum together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until repaid (such sum and interest thereon as aforesaid referred to, collectively, as the “Lender Default Obligation”) shall be payable by the Defaulting Lender (i) to any Lender(s) which elect, at their sole option (and with no obligation to do so), to fund the amount which the Defaulting Lender failed to fund or (ii) to Agent or any other Lender which under the terms of this Agreement is entitled to reimbursement from the Defaulting Lender for the amounts advanced or expended. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has repaid the Lender Default Obligation in full, all amounts which would otherwise be distributed to the Defaulting Lender shall instead be applied first to repay the Lender Default Obligation (to be applied first to interest at the Default Rate and then to principal) until the Lender Default Obligation has been repaid in full (whether by such application or by cure by the Defaulting Lender), whereupon such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender. Any interest collected from Borrower on account of principal advanced by any Lender(s) on behalf of a Defaulting Lender shall be paid to the Lender(s) who made such advance and shall be credited against the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay interest on the amount advanced at the Default Rate. If no other Lender makes an advance a Defaulting Lender failed to fund, a portion of the indebtedness of Borrower to the Defaulting Lender equal to the Lender Default Obligation shall be subordinated to the indebtedness of Borrower to all other Lenders and shall be paid only after the indebtedness of Borrower to all other Lenders is paid. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments. No Defaulting Lender shall have the right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Required Lenders or all Lenders and while any Lender is a Defaulting Lender the requisite percentage of Lenders which constitutes the Required Lenders shall be calculated exclusive of the Percentage of the Defaulting Lender. The Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the Lender Default Obligation any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the Lender Default Obligation and, to the extent such recovery would not fully compensate the Lenders for the Defaulting Lender’s breach of this Agreement, to collect damages. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, for funds advanced by Agent or any other Lender on account of the Defaulting Lender or any other damages such persons may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement.

     (c) At least five Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI further undertakes to deliver the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes 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 with respect to it and such Lender advises the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

25.6 Consents and Approvals.

     (a) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of the Required Lenders:

               (A) The exercise of any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default, provided that absent any direction from the Required Lenders, Agent may exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents as Agent may determine in good faith to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Lenders or the collateral securing the Loan;

               (B) Appointment of a successor Agent;

               (C) Approval of Post-Default Plan (defined in Section 25.7(d)); and

               (D) Except as referred to in subsection (b) below, approval of any amendment or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or issuance of any waiver of any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

     (b) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of all the Lenders:

               (A) Extension of the Maturity Date (beyond any extension permitted herein) or forgiveness of all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or any accrued interest thereon, or any other amendment of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which would reduce the interest rate or interest rate options or the rate at which fees are calculated or forgive any loan fee, or extend the time of payment of any principal, interest or fees;

               (B) Reduction of the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;

               (C) Increasing the amount of the Loan or any non-consenting Lender’s Commitment;

               (D) Release of any lien on any material collateral (except as Borrower is entitled to under the Loan Documents);

               (E) The release or forgiveness of any Guarantor; and

               (F) Amendment of the provisions of this Section 25.6.

     (c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in subsections (a) and (b) above, the Agent may at any time request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions from any Lender, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Required Lenders have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

     (d) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the exercise by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders, except for actions specifically requiring the approval of all Lenders. All communications from the Agent to the Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days after receipt of the request therefor from the Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, the Agent shall upon receiving the required approval or consent follow the course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders by the Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Lenders.

25.7 Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral.

     (a) The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, at any time and from time to time, to take any action with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any Loan Document which may be necessary to preserve and maintain such collateral or to perfect and maintain perfected the liens upon such collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     (b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other person or entity to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the liens granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

     (c) Should the Agent commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce the Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether as a result thereof the Agent shall acquire title to any collateral, each Lender, upon demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such enforcement or acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees, court costs, title company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers’ fees and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) if the Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or the attempt to enforce any security interest or lien on any collateral, or to enforce any rights of the Agent or the Lenders or any of Borrower’s or any other party’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents, but not with respect to any dispute between Agent and any other Lender(s).

     (d) In the event that all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan is acquired by the Agent as the result of the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, title to any such collateral or any portion thereof shall be held in the name of the Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such collateral (the “Post-Default Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Required Lenders. The Agent shall administer

the collateral in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, and upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent pursuant to the Post-Default Plan, including without limitation, any operating losses and all necessary operating reserves. To the extent there is net operating income from such collateral, the Agent shall, in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. In no event shall the provisions of this subsection or the Post-Default Plan require the Agent or any Lender to take an action which would cause such Lender to be in violation of any applicable regulatory requirements.

25.8 Lender Actions Against Borrower or the Collateral.

     Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other person hereunder or under any other Loan Documents with respect to exercising claims against the Borrower or rights in any collateral without the consent of the Required Lenders. With respect to any action by the Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and Lenders with respect to the Borrower and any collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.

25.9 Assignment and Participation

     No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.

25.10 Ratable Sharing

     Subject to Sections 25.4 and 25.5, Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Percentages, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or bankers’ lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Loan Documents or any collateral and (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, set-off, bankers’ lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loan held by it which is greater than its Percentage of the payments on account of the Loan, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Percentages; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

25.11 General Immunity

     Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Borrower 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 for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. In the absence of gross negligence, the Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in

good faith pursuant to Section 25.5, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.

25.12 No Responsibility for Loan, Recitals, etc.

     The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any Note shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or the value of the Collateral or any other assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents and the granting and perfecting of liens in the Collateral.

25.13 Action on Instructions of Lenders

     The 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 all the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, if such action may be directed hereunder by the Required Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of Lenders; provided, however that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction. Each Lender, severally to the extent of its Percentage, hereby agrees to indemnify Agent against and hold it harmless from any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, provided that the foregoing shall not release Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.

25.14 Employment of Agents and Counsel

     The Agent may undertake any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable to Lenders, except as to money or securities received by them or their authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to take and rely upon advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

25.15 Reliance on Documents; Counsel

     The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any 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 Agent, which counsel may be an employee of Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not release the Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

25.16 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification

     Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify Agent ratably based upon their Percentage (i) for any amounts (excluding principal and interest on the Loan and loan fees) not reimbursed by Borrower for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower, (iii) for any expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lenders which may be necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain collateral or to perfect and maintain perfected the liens upon the collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower, (iv) for any amounts and other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lenders in connection with any default by any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, if not paid by such Lender, and (v) 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 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, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements of this Section 25.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

25.17 Rights as a Lender

     With respect to its Commitment, if any, Agent shall have the same rights, powers and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacities. The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge and agree that Agent and/or its affiliates may act as trustee under indentures, serve as financial advisor of, accept deposits from, lend money to, hold other investments in, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction or have other relationships, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Borrower or any of its affiliates in which Borrower or such affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other person. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Agent, or its affiliates may receive information regarding such Persons (including, information that may subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

25.18 Lenders’ Credit Decisions

     Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements and other information prepared by 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 Agent 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.

25.19 Notice of Events of Default

     Should Agent receive any written notice of the occurrence of a default or Event of Default, or should the Agent send Borrower a notice of Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to each Lender. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring

to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

25.20 Successor Agent

     (a) Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lenders and Borrower. Such resignation shall take effect on the date set forth in such notice or as otherwise provided below.
