WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Lenders make a revolving loan in the maximum initial amount of $400,000,000.

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such loan to Borrower and DBNY is willing to act as administrative agent on behalf of Lenders, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the making of the Loan by Lenders and the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby covenant, agree, represent and warrant as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING TERMS

Section 1.1 Defined Terms. The following terms (whether or not underscored) when used in this Agreement, including its preamble and recitals, shall, except where the context otherwise requires, have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms thereof):

“Acquisition Cost” means, with respect to any Property, (i) the purchase price of a Property as set forth in the applicable purchase and sale agreement or otherwise as approved by the Administrative Agent, plus or minus (ii) increases or reductions to such purchase price as provided in such purchase and sale agreement or the final closing statement.

“Acquisition Expenses” means, with respect to any acquisition or proposed acquisition of assets or properties (including, without limitation, New Acquisitions) by any Member of the Consolidated Group, actual transaction costs and expenses incurred by such member of the Consolidated Group in connection therewith.

“Administrative Agent” is defined in the preamble and includes each other Person as shall have subsequently been appointed as the successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.10.

“Affiliate” of any Person means any other Person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person (excluding any trustee

under, or any committee with responsibility for administering, any Plan). With respect to any Lender or the Issuer, a Person shall be deemed to be “controlled by” another Person if such other Person possesses, directly or indirectly, power to vote 51% or more of the securities (on a fully diluted basis) having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or managing general partners of such “controlled” Person. With respect to all other Persons, a Person shall be deemed to be “controlled by” another Person if such other Person possesses, directly or indirectly, power:

(a) to vote 10% or more of the securities (on a fully diluted basis) having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or managing general partners or managing members of such “controlled” Person; or

(b) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such “controlled” Person whether through ownership of voting securities, membership or partnership interests, by contract or otherwise.

“Agreement” means, on any date, this Credit Agreement as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time and in effect on such date.

“Alternate Base Rate” means, on any date and with respect to all Base Rate Loans, a fluctuating rate of interest per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next highest 1/1000 of 1%) equal to the highest of

(a) the Base Rate in effect on such day;

(b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ¹/₂ of 1%; and

Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

“Applicable Margin” means, with respect to each Loan, the respective percentages per annum determined, at any time, based on the range into which Borrower’s Total Leverage Ratio then falls, in accordance with the following table, as of the last day of the most recent preceding Fiscal Quarter for which financial results have been reported, as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, which percentage shall change upon the date Administrative Agent has received a Compliance Certificate from Borrower with respect to such preceding Fiscal Quarter and approved the same in its reasonable discretion; provided however until the delivery and approval of the first Compliance Certificate in connection with the 4^th Fiscal Quarter of 2013, the Applicable Margin will be determined by reference to the following Total Leverage Ratio: greater than or equal to 50% but less than 55%:


Total Leverage Ratio	Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans (% per annum)			Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans (% per annum)
Less than 50%		2.00	%		1.00	%


Greater than or equal to 50% but less than 55%	2.25	%	1.25	%
Greater than or equal to 55% but less than 60%	2.50	%	1.50	%
Greater than or equal to 60% but less than 65%	3.00	%	2.00	%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower does not deliver the applicable Compliance Certificate when due, the Applicable Margin will be determined by reference to the highest Total Leverage Ratio (greater than or equal to 60% but less than 65%) until such Compliance Certificate is delivered. In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower determine that any financial statements previously delivered were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period than the Applicable Margin applied for such period, then (i) the Borrower shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Administrative Agent the corrected financial statements for such period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on such corrected financial statements for such period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days of demand thereof by the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural Person) that (a) is or will be engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business, and (b) is administered or managed by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(b) extend the Stated Expiry Date of an existing standby Letter of Credit previously issued hereunder to a date not later than the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) one year from the date of the then current Stated Expiry Date, provided that the Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, or extend a Stated Expiry Date, if at the time of such issuance:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or

request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date hereof and which such Issuer reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii) such Issuer shall have received a Stop Issue Notice from the Administrative Agent prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in Dollars and on a sight basis only.

Section 2.1.3 Lenders Not Permitted or Required to Make Loans. No Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and all Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Lender would exceed the then existing Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, including such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings and outstanding Swingline Loans.

Section 2.1.4 Issuer Not Permitted or Required to Issue Letters of Credit. The Issuer shall not be permitted or required to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount or (ii) the sum of the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings plus the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans then outstanding would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount; or a Lender Default known to the Issuer exists, unless the Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings by each Defaulting Lender, including cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings in respect thereof.

Section 2.1.5 Swingline Lender Not Permitted or Required to Make Swingline Loans.

Section 2.2 Reduction of the Commitment Amounts. The Commitment Amounts are subject to reduction from time to time pursuant to this Section 2.2.

Section 2.2.1 Optional. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day occurring after the Closing Date, voluntarily reduce the amount of the Revolving Loan

Commitment Amount, Swingline Commitment Amount or the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount on the Business Day so specified by the Borrower; provided, however, that (a) all such reductions shall require at least three (3) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall be permanent, and any partial reduction of any Commitment Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and (b) in no event shall the Borrower be permitted to cancel Commitments for which a Letter of Credit has been issued and is outstanding unless the Borrower returns (or causes to be returned) such Letter of Credit to the Issuer.

Section 2.2.2 Mandatory. The Commitment Amount shall be reduced to zero on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.3 Borrowing Procedures. Revolving Loans shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3.1.

Section 2.3.1 Revolving Loans. By delivering a Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than one (1) Business Day’s notice in the case of Base Rate Loans or three (3) Business Days’ notice in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, that a Borrowing be made, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Base Rate Loans, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof or, in either case, in the unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial Borrowing Request associated with a Borrowing as of the Closing Date may be revocable provided Borrower reimburse each Lender for any actual loss or expense that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of the failure by Borrower to borrow under the Facility on the date specified by Borrower which results in LIBOR breakage costs of the Lenders. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be comprised of the Revolving Loans, and shall be made on the Business Day, specified in such Borrowing Request. On or before 2:00p.m. New York City time, on such Business Day, each Lender shall deposit with the Administrative Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the requested Borrowing. Such deposit will be made to an account which the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender and Administrative Agent has made available same to Borrower, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, pay such corresponding amount to

Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 3.3, for the respective Loans. No Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan. No more than five (5) LIBO Rate Loans may be outstanding at any time during the term of the Loan. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be entitled to elect or request LIBO Rate Loans.

Section 2.3.2 Telephonic Notice. Without in any way limiting the obligation of Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of Borrower. In each such case, Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error and Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute such record.

Section 2.4 Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a Continuation/Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than one (1) Business Day’s notice in the case of any Revolving Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into Base Rate Loans, or three (3) Business Days’ notice in the case of any Revolving Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, in the case of any Revolving Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans, or an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof, in the case of any Revolving Loans that are to be continued as, or converted into, Base Rate Loans, be, in the case of Base Rate Loans, converted into LIBO Rate Loans or continued as Base Rate Loans, or be, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, converted into Base Rate Loans or continued as LIBO Rate Loans (in the absence of delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBO Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically be continued as a LIBO Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one (1) month); provided, however, that (x) each such conversion or continuation shall be pro rated among the applicable outstanding Revolving Loans of all Lenders, and (y) if any Event of Default is in existence at the applicable time of any proposed continuation of, or conversion into, any LIBO Rate Loans, the Borrower may not elect to have a Revolving Loan converted into or continued as a LIBO Rate Loan and any outstanding LIBO Rate Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period applicable thereto into Base Rate Loans. No more than five (5) LIBO Rate Loans may be outstanding at any time during the term of the Loan. Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

Section 2.5 Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or

Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility.

Section 2.6 Issuance Procedures. By delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer an Issuance Request (including by way of facsimile) on or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may, from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10) Business Days’ notice, in the case of an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower, that the Issuer issue an irrevocable Letter of Credit. Any standby Letter of Credit theretofore issued which contains an “evergreen” or similar automatic extension feature shall, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Issuer in writing not less than thirty (30) days’ (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Issuer in its sole discretion or such longer period as may be required by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit) prior to the date that such standby Letter of Credit is scheduled to be automatically extended that the Borrower desires that such standby Letter of Credit not be so extended, be automatically extended in accordance with the terms thereof subject to the Issuer’s right not to so extend if the conditions precedent to the issuance of such a Letter of Credit would not be satisfied. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth (5^th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (ii) one (1) year from the date of its issuance.

Section 2.6.1 Other Lenders’ Participation. Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer pursuant hereto, and without further action, each Lender (other than the Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Percentage to make Revolving Loans, a participation interest in such Letter of Credit (including the Contingent Obligation and any Reimbursement Obligation with respect thereto), and such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be responsible for reimbursing promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) the Issuer for Reimbursement Obligations which have not been reimbursed by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.6.3. In addition, such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage to make Revolving Loans, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.4.3 with respect to each Letter of Credit (other than the issuance and processing fees and other charges payable to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.4.3) and of interest payable pursuant to Section 3.4 with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation. To the extent that any Lender has reimbursed the Issuer for a Disbursement as required by Section 2.6.3, such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable portion of any amounts subsequently received (from the Borrower or otherwise) in respect of such Disbursement.

Section 2.6.2 Disbursements. The Issuer will notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer, together with notice of the date (the “Disbursement Date”) such payment shall be made (each such payment, a “Disbursement”). The Administrative Agent shall apply all funds then on deposit with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b)(C), Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 for the purpose of cash collateralizing the Letter of Credit Outstandings to reimburse the Issuer for any such Disbursement provided such cash collateral,

after giving effect to such disbursement would not otherwise be required to be re-deposited under any such Section. Subject to the terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, the Issuer shall make such payment to the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit. Prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the Disbursement Date, the Borrower will reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuer, for all amounts which the Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of Credit to the extent that the amounts on deposit with the Administrative Agent are insufficient to satisfy such disbursement, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then in effect for Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.3 for the period from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, however, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuer prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing less amounts, if any, applied, or required to be applied, to reimburse the Issuer pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.6.2. Each Lender (other than the Issuer) shall, in accordance with Section 2.3.1, make available its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuer for the amount of such draw notwithstanding (I) that the amount of such Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount of Borrowings otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such deemed request for a Borrowing to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1, (V) the date of such Borrowing (provided that such date must be a Business Day), or (VI) any termination of the Commitments immediately prior to such Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith. Without limiting in any way the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the Lender as set forth herein upon each Disbursement of a Letter of Credit.

Section 2.6.3 Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) of the Borrower under Section 2.6.2 to reimburse the Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon), and, upon the failure of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuer, each Lender’s obligation under Section 2.6.1 to reimburse the Issuer, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against the Issuer or any such Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuer’s good faith opinion, such Disbursement is determined to be appropriate) or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall preclude the right of such Lender to commence any proceeding against the Issuer for any wrongful Disbursement made by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on the part of the Issuer in a final and non-appealable decision); provided, further,

that, in any event, the Borrower may have a claim against the Issuer, and the Issuer may be liable to the extent (but only to the extent) of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by the Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or the Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a demand for payment strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.6.4 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.6.1, each Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The Issuer (except to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) shall not be responsible for:

(a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(c) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;

(d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; or

(e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Issuer or any Lender hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer in good faith (and not constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) shall be binding upon the Borrower and each Lender, and shall not put the Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender, as the case may be.

Section 2.6.5 Certain Notifications Regarding Letters of Credit. Promptly after the issuance of, or any modification or amendment to, any standby Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, the Issuer shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via

facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer for the immediately preceding week.

Section 2.6.6 Excess Cash Collateral. Subject to Section 8.4, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the amount on deposit with the Administrative Agent designated for, or intended to be used for, the purpose of cash collateralizing the Letter of Credit Outstandings is in excess of the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time and would not otherwise be required to be deposited under Section 3.2.1(b)(B), Section 8.2, Section 8.3, or Section 8.4 (the amount of any such excess is referred to herein as the “Excess Cash Collateral”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to the Borrower the Excess Cash Collateral.

Section 2.7 Loan Accounts and Revolving Notes. All Loans under this Agreement shall be severally made by Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or any other breach by any other Lender of this Agreement and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

(a) The Loans made by each Lender and the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business. Subject to Section 10.9.1(c), which shall control in the event of any inconsistency with this Section 2.7(a), the loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each Lender shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer for the account of, the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations.

(b) Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Loans made by such Lender may be evidenced by (and the Borrowers agree to issue) one or more Revolving Notes, instead of or in addition to loan accounts. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to endorse on the Revolving Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made, continued or converted by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto. Subject to Section 10.9.1(c), which shall control in the event of any inconsistency with this Section 2.7(b), each such Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Revolving Note to such Lender. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of each Note shall be for the account of the Borrower.

Section 2.8 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.9 Swingline Loan Subfacility.

Section 2.9.1 Swingline Commitment.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.9, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans to the Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) from time to time prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment Amount. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid in respect of Swingline Loans may be reborrowed.

Section 2.9.2 Swingline Borrowings.

(a) Notice of Borrowing. With respect to any Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request which shall be received by the Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing (and confirmed by telephone by such time).

(b) Minimum Amounts. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000, or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(c) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) five (5) Business Days from and including the date of the applicable Swingline Borrowing, (B) the date of the next Revolving Loan or (C) the Maturity Date. If, and to the extent, any Swingline Loans shall be outstanding on the date of any Revolving Loan, such Swingline Loans shall first be repaid from the proceeds of such Revolving Loan prior to the disbursement of the same to the Borrower. If, and to the extent, a Revolving Loan is not requested prior to the Maturity Date or the end of the five Business Day period after a Swingline Borrowing, or unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day after the Swingline Borrowing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Swingline Lender for the amount of such Swingline Borrowing with funds other than proceeds of the Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the applicable Swingline Loan then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loan to the Swingline Lender. In addition, if (x) the Borrower does not repay the Swingline Loan on or prior to the end of such five Business Day period, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred during such five Business Day period, the Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Borrowing, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender. Any Borrowing which is deemed requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.9.2(c) is hereinafter referred to as a

“Mandatory Borrowing”. Each Lender shall, promptly upon receipt of notice from the Swingline Lender of any such deemed request for a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentences and on the date such notice is received by such Lender (or the next Business Day if such notice is received after 12:00 noon (New York City time)) make available its pro rata share of such Borrowing notwithstanding (I) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount of Borrowings otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such deemed request for a Borrowing to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1, (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing (provided that such date must be a Business Day), or (VI) any termination of the Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall not be permitted to pay any outstanding Swingline Borrowing with funds received from another Swingline Borrowing.

(d) Purchase of Participations. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payment received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its pro rata share (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant hereto), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans with respect to any participation shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until but excluding the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and (B) in the event of a delay between the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred and the time any purchase of a participation pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, for the two (2) Business Days after the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate.

Section 2.9.3 Interest Rate. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Swingline Loan is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect on such date plus the Applicable Margin.

Subject to Section 3.1(b)(iii)(4), as soon as practicable following any extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 3.1, Borrower shall, if requested by Administrative Agent, execute and deliver an amendment or restatement of the then existing Notes and shall, if requested by Administrative Agent, enter into such other amendments or modifications to the related then existing Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence the extension of the Maturity Date as provided in this Section 3.1; provided, however, that failure by Borrower to enter into any such amendments and/or restatements (other than as required by Section 3.1(b)(iii)(4)), in and of itself, shall not affect the rights or obligations of Borrower or Administrative Agent with respect to the extension of the Maturity Date.

Section 3.2 Repayments and Prepayments; Application.

Section 3.2.1 Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Loans on the Maturity Date. Prior thereto, payments and prepayments of Loans shall or may be made as set forth below.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. From time to time on any Business Day, the Borrower may make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans, provided that

(A) any such prepayment of the Loans shall be made pro rata among the Loans of the same type and, if applicable, having the same Interest Period of all Lenders that have made such Loans;

(B) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one (1) Business Days’ irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; and

(C) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be, in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, in the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof), except in the case of Swingline Loans, which shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000, and integral multiples of $100,000.

(b) Exceeding Commitment Amounts.

(A) On each date when (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Swingline Loans and/or Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Swingline Loans, Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed the then applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans exceeds the Swingline Commitment Amount, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Swingline Loans exceed the applicable Swingline Commitment Amount.

(B) In the event that on any date the Borrower fails to satisfy the Required Maximum Unencumbered Asset Ratio, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, make a mandatory prepayment of the Swingline Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount which would cause Borrower to be in compliance with the Required Maximum Unencumbered Asset Ratio.

(C) On each date when the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time, including pursuant to Section 2.2), the Borrower shall give cash collateral to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, to collateralize Letter of Credit Outstandings in an aggregate amount (taking into account any amounts then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account) equal to such excess.

(c) Acceleration of Maturity. Immediately upon any acceleration of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the Borrower shall repay all the Loans.

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.5. No prepayment of principal of any Loans pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall cause a reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

Section 3.2.2 Application. Each prepayment or repayment of the principal of the Loans shall be applied, to the extent of such prepayment or repayment, as the Borrower shall direct (and in the absence of such direction, shall be applied first, to the principal amount thereof being maintained as Base Rate Loans, second to the principal amount thereof being maintained as LIBO Rate Loans with respect to which the rate of such prepayment or repayment is the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and third, to the principal amount thereof being maintained as LIBO Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining); provided, that prepayments or repayments of LIBO Rate Loans not made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall be prepaid or repaid subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 (together with a payment of all accrued interest).

Section 3.3 Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 3.3.

Section 3.3.1 Rates. Pursuant to an appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice, the Borrower may elect that Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per annum:

(a) on that portion maintained from time to time as a Base Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and

(b) on that portion maintained as a LIBO Rate Loan, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

All LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan. All Base Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the day they are made to and excluding the day they are repaid or converted into LIBO Rate Loans.

Section 3.3.2 Post-Maturity Rates. After the date any principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, an Event of Default or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before the entry of judgment thereon) on all outstanding Obligations at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 3.3.3 Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:

(a) on the Maturity Date (and if such date is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day;

(b) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or prepaid;

(d) with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, in arrears on the last day of each applicable Interest Period; provided, however, with respect to LIBO Rate Loans with Interest Periods of six (6) and twelve (12) months, Interest shall be payable in three (3) month successive intervals beginning the date which is three (3) months from the date of the subject Borrowing.

(e) with respect to any Base Rate Loans converted into LIBO Rate Loans on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable pursuant to clause (c) above, on the date of such conversion;

(f) with respect to Swingline Loans, as provided in Section 2.9; and

(g) on that portion of any Loans which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

Section 3.4 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section 3.4. All such fees shall be non-refundable.

Section 3.4.1 Revolving Loan Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, for the period (including any portion thereof when any of its Commitments are suspended by reason of the Borrower’s inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, an unused fee at a rate per annum equal to (a) 0.35% for any Fiscal Quarters that the average daily unused Revolving Loan Commitment Amount was greater than fifty percent (50%) and (b) 0.25% for any Fiscal Quarter that the average daily unused Revolving Loan Commitment Amount was fifty percent (50%) or less, in each case on such Lender’s Percentage of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (net of Letter of Credit Outstandings but without giving effect to Swingline Loans made during such Fiscal Quarter). All unused fees payable pursuant to this Section shall be calculated on a year comprised of 360 days and payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

Section 3.4.2 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, each for its own account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letters.

Section 3.4.3 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of each Lender, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to a rate per annum equal to the then Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans on the Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit, with such fees being payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date. The Borrower further agrees to pay to the Issuer, for its own account, (x) for each Letter of Credit issued by it, a facing fee, at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit, which is equal to the greater of $1,500 or 1/8 of 1% multiplied

by the Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit, and (y) from time to time promptly after demand, the normal issuance, payment, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard administrative costs and charges of the Issuer relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 4.1 LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Revolving Loan as, or to convert any Revolving Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or maintain or to convert any Revolving Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion. Each Lender agrees to promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower when the circumstances causing such suspension cease to exist.

Section 4.2 Deposits Unavailable. If the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined that (a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are neither available to such Required Lenders in the eurodollar market nor available to them in their respective relevant markets, or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans, then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 to make or continue any Revolving Loans as, or to convert any Revolving Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders are unable to determine the LIBO Rate, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Revolving Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Revolving Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBO Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent agrees to give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders when it ascertains that the circumstances causing such suspension cease to exist.

Section 4.3 Change of Circumstances. If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of, or any change in the application of, any law or any regulation (including Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board) or guideline issued by

any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), or by the NAIC or any other comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or including any reserve or special deposit requirement or any tax (other than Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 4.6 and Excluded Taxes) or any capital or liquidity requirement, has, due to a Lender’s compliance the effect, directly or indirectly, of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender of performing its obligations hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining of any Revolving Loans as or converting any Revolving Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans); (ii) reducing any amount received or receivable by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender hereunder or its effective return hereunder or on its capital; or (iii) causing such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, accompanied by written notice showing in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of any such amounts, from time to time, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such amounts and shall compensate such Lender promptly after receipt of such notice and demand for any such cost, reduction, payment or foregone return. Any certificate of Lender in respect of the foregoing will be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, except for clearly demonstrable error. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.3 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) of the United States financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

Section 4.4 Replacement of Lender. If (a) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender requesting increased costs or additional amounts under Section 4.3 or 4.6, (b) any Lender is affected in the manner described in Section 4.1 or (c) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then in each case, the Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and unless, in the case of clause (a) above, such Lender has removed or cured the conditions which resulted in the obligation to pay such increased costs or additional amounts or agreed to waive and otherwise forego any right it may have to any payments provided for under Section 4.3 or 4.6 in respect of such conditions, to replace in its entirety such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”), upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Replaced Lender, with one or more other Eligible Assignee(s) (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (which acceptance, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that, at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Replaced Lender and the Replacement Lender shall enter into (each Replaced Lender hereby unconditionally agreeing to enter into) one or more Lender Assignment Agreements (appropriately completed), pursuant to which (A) the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings of, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay (x) to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and (2) an amount equal to all accrued but theretofore unpaid fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.4, (y) to the Issuer, an amount equal to any portion of the Replaced Lender’s funding of an unpaid drawing under a Letter of Credit as to

which the Replaced Lender is then in default; and (z) to the Swingline Lender, an amount equal to any portion of the Replaced Lender’s obligations under Section 2.9 which has not been satisfied by such Replaced Lender; and (B) the Borrower shall pay to the Replaced Lender any other amounts payable to the Replaced Lender under this Agreement (including amounts payable under Sections 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6 which have accrued to the date of such replacement). Upon the execution of the Lender Assignment Agreement(s), the payment to the Administrative Agent of the processing fee referred to in clause (a) of Section 10.9.1, the payment of the amounts referred to in the preceding sentence and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender in accordance with clause (b) of Section 10.9.1, delivery to the Replacement Lender of a Revolving Note executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall automatically become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. It is understood and agreed that if any Replaced Lender shall fail to enter into a Lender Assignment Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, it shall be deemed to have entered into such a Lender Assignment Agreement.

Section 4.5 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall reasonably incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Revolving Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Revolving Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, or any loss attributable to any prepayment in excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid from the date of such payment to the last day of the then-current Interest Period if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Reserve Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn for such period on an amount equal to such payment if such Lender were to invest such amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period) as a result of (a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.2 or otherwise, or (b) any Revolving Loans not being made or continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans as a result of a withdrawn or revoked Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice or for any other reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent), then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, promptly after its receipt thereof and prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert or failure to continue, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such LIBO Rate Loan. Such written notice (which shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and include calculations in reasonable detail in support thereof) shall, in the absence of clearly demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. “Reserve Adjusted LIBO Rate” shall mean the rate per annum calculated as of the first day of such Interest Period in accordance with the following formula: LIBO Rate over (1-LIBO Reserve Percentage). “LIBO Reserve Percentage” shall mean with respect to an Interest

Period, the maximum aggregate reserve requirement (including all basic, supplemental, marginal and other reserves and taking into account any transitional adjustments) which is actually imposed on a Lender under Regulation D on eurocurrency liabilities.

Section 4.6 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to each Lender and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower) requires deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

If the Borrower shall be so required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) that are payable by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “U.S. Lender”) shall:

(i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the first day on which the Borrower is required to make any payments hereunder to Lender, two (2) properly completed and duly executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor forms). Each U.S. Lender that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 10.9.2 or a Lender pursuant to Section 10.9.1 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 4.6(c)(i), provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such

required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased; and

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, two (2) further, properly completed and duly executed originals of any form or certification required to be delivered hereunder, on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:

(i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the first day on which the Borrower is required to make any payments hereunder to Lender, two (2), properly completed and duly executed originals of (A) either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or successor forms), as applicable, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto and, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender (x) is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any Tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any Governmental Authority, any application made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from Tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (y) is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower or the Guarantor and (z) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower or the Guarantor (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto (a “Tax Compliance Certificate”)), (C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner, United Stated Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, a certificate substantially similar to the Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a certificate substantially similar to the Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or (D) such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; in each case claiming or permitting complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding Tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement;

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) further, properly completed and duly executed originals of any form or certification required to be delivered hereunder, on or before the date that any

such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Non-U.S. Lender that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 10.9.2 or a Lender pursuant to Section 10.9.1 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 4.6(d) and Section 4.6(e), provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(e) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.6(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or the Administrative Agent, or to pay any additional amounts to such Non-U.S. Lender or the Administrative Agent, in respect of U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to this Section 4.6 to the extent that any of the representations or certifications made by a Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Participant pursuant to clause (d) and clause (e) above are incorrect at the time a payment hereunder is made, other than by reason of any change in treaty, law or regulation having effect after the date such representations or certifications were made.

(g) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable (to the extent such Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably determines in good faith that it will not suffer any

adverse effect as a result thereof), shall, subject to clause (i) of the proviso in the immediately succeeding sentence, cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Taxes at the Borrower’s expense if so requested by the Borrower in writing. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of, or a credit relating to a Tax for which a payment has been made or borne by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment by or borne by the Borrower had not been required; provided, however, that (i) any Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, whether to seek a refund and (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any refund with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (g) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.6. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this clause (g) or any other provision of this Section 4.6.

(h) Promptly after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall furnish to each Lender and the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

(i) For purposes of this Section 4.6, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. The Administrative Agent shall be subject to Sections 4.6(c), (d) and (e), and shall deliver to the Borrower any required forms described therein, as applicable, as if it were a Lender.

Section 4.7 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would give rise to the operation of Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.6(a) or 4.6(b) with respect to such Lender, it will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Revolving Loans of such Lender through another lending office and to take such other actions as it deems appropriate to remove or lessen the impact of such condition and if, as determined by such Lender in its discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such affected Loans through such other lending office or the taking of such other actions would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Loans or such Lender and would not, in such Lender’s discretion, be commercially unreasonable. Nothing in this Section 4.7 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.6(a) or 4.6(b).

Section 4.8 Payments, Computations, etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, each Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such due date shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. All computations of interest and fees for LIBO Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans (other than with respect to Base Rate Loans accruing interest based on the Base Rate as compared to Alternate Base Rate) and issuance fees pursuant to Section 3.3.3, in each case shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, and, with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, on the expiration of the applicable LIBO contract. All computations of interest and fees for Base Rate Loans accruing interest based on the Base Rate as compared to Alternate Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a 365/366-day year and actual days elapsed. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term “Interest Period” and except with respect to the Maturity Date) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

Section 4.9 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to a fraction having a numerator of (a) the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender and a denominator of (b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The 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 pursuant to Section 4.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 4.10 Setoff. Each Lender shall, if the Loans have been accelerated or otherwise have become due and payable or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1.1 or in Section 8.1.9 with respect to the Borrower or, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower (any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law), have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due or owing to it, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower or its Affiliates then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided, however, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.9. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

Section 7.1.7 Future Pledgors.

(a) Upon the formation or acquisition by Borrower of any (direct or indirect) Subsidiary, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such event, and, unless such Person is a Restricted Subsidiary or as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1.7:

(i) if such Person owns Capital Stock in another Subsidiary that is not a Restricted Subsidiary, and such Person is not theretofore a party to the Pledge Agreement, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a supplement to the Pledge Agreement for the purposes of becoming a pledgor thereunder with respect to the Capital Stock of such other Subsidiary, as applicable; and

(ii) the Person that is required to become a pledgor under Section 7.1.7(a) above, shall, (x) pursuant to (and to the extent required by) the Pledge Agreement, pledge to the Administrative Agent all of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary owned directly by it, along with undated stock powers for such certificates, executed in blank (or, if any such shares of capital stock are uncertificated, confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the security interest in such uncertificated securities has been transferred to and perfected by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in accordance with Article 8 of the U.C.C. in effect in the State of Delaware or any other similar law which may be applicable) and (y) pursuant to (and to the extent required by) the Security Agreement, grant to the Administrative Agent a first priority perfected security interests in all other non-real estate assets owned by such Person, including, without limitation, accounts (it being understood that a control agreement with respect to such accounts can be entered within 30 days of such party becoming a pledgor, which 30 days may be

extended at Administrative Agent’s sole discretion), inventory, equipment, investment property, instruments, chattel paper, deposit accounts, contracts, patents, copyrights, trademarks and other general intangibles with confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that a first priority security interests in such assets has been perfected by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in accordance with Article 9 of the U.C.C. in effect in the states of Delaware and New York (or any other similar law which may be applicable); and

(iii) such Person shall execute a Joinder to become party to the Pledge Agreement, Subsidiary Guaranty, and the Security Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H-1, Exhibit K-2 and Exhibit G-2 hereto, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Administrative Agent is satisfied that any Subsidiary that is (or will be) a Property Owner, or a single purpose entity that owns the Capital Stock of a Property Owner, will incur Mortgage Indebtedness such that it will become a Restricted Subsidiary, then upon the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion waive the requirements of this Section 7.1.7 for a period of time, as established by the Administrative Agent, to enable such financing to be incurred; provided, however, that, if granted, such waiver may, prior to such Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, be revoked by the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence of a Default and provided, further that no such waiver shall be applicable to subsequent transactions.

In the event that any Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the permitted incurrence of Mortgage Indebtedness, or is otherwise released with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Borrower, will promptly deliver to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor and General Partner, as applicable (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) releases thereof from the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement, as applicable.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an event that would enable the pledge of any interest in Borrower and/or General Partner, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such event and the interest in Borrower and/or General Partner not restricted to be pledged shall be pledged. In connection with such pledge, (i) the Organic Documents of Borrower and/or General Partner, to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, shall be amended to provide (x) for the pledge of such interest in Borrower and/or General Partner, (y) that in the event of a foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of such interest in Borrower and/or General Partner or other exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents whereby Administrative Agent, its successors and/or assigns, its nominee or any of its Affiliates, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or any transferee in lieu of foreclosure acquires the partnership interest of the Borrower and/or membership interest in the General Partner, (A) such purchase or transfer shall be permitted notwithstanding any provision of the Organic Documents of Borrower and/or General Partner, as applicable, to the contrary, (B) such purchaser or transferee shall, upon its execution of a counterpart to the Organic Documents of Borrower and/or General Partner, as applicable, be deemed to be a substitute limited partner, general partner and/or

member, with all rights, power, privileges, obligations and liabilities of such Person, and (z) for any other reasonably requested modifications to the applicable Organic Documents, (ii) the Person that is required to become a pledgor, shall, execute a Joinder to become party to the Pledge Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit K-2 hereto, and (iii) pursuant to (and to the extent required by) the Pledge Agreement, pledge to the Administrative Agent all of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock owned directly by it, along with undated stock powers for such certificates, executed in blank (or, if any such shares of capital stock are uncertificated, confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the security interest in such uncertificated securities has been transferred to and perfected by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in accordance with Article 8 of the U.C.C. or any other similar law which may be applicable).

In addition, in the event that an existing Restricted Subsidiary ceases to qualify as a Restricted Subsidiary in whole or in part or interests in Borrower can be pledged in whole or in part, Borrower (or Guarantor, as applicable) shall promptly cause such interest to be pledged to Administrative Agent. Further, if at any time a Restricted Subsidiary is restricted (as and to the extent set forth in the definition of “Restricted Subsidiary”) from complying with a portion, but not all, of the provisions of this Section 7.1.7, or Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor is restricted from complying with a portion, but not all, of the provisions of this Section 7.1.7, Borrower shall cause such Person to comply with the portions hereof that are not so restricted.

Section 7.1.8 Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will, and will cause the other Borrower Group Members to, conduct all transactions with any of their respective Affiliates upon fair and reasonable terms that are substantially as favorable to the Borrower Group Members as it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate of the Borrower Group Members. Intercompany Indebtedness shall generally be permitted provided (i) the same is subordinated to this Facility and the full repayment of the Obligations and all obligations of Credit Parties under this Facility, (ii) the incurrence of such Indebtedness will not otherwise cause an Event of Default, (iii) intercompany loans to Subsidiaries which are not wholly-owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower are subject to reasonable approval by Administrative Agent and (iv) such Indebtedness otherwise complies with the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.1.9 Corporate Separateness. Borrower will, and will cause the other Borrower Group Members to, take all such action as is necessary to keep the operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries separate and apart from those of Guarantor and General Partner including, without limitation, ensuring that all customary formalities regarding corporate existence, including holding regular board of directors’ meetings and maintenance of corporate records, are followed. All financial statements of Credit Parties provided to creditors will, to the full extent permitted by GAAP, clearly evidence the corporate separateness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries from Guarantor and General Partner. Finally, no such company will take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner which is likely to result in the corporate existence of Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and Guarantor and General Partner on the other, being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries being substantively consolidated with those of Guarantor and General Partner in a bankruptcy, reorganization, or other insolvency proceeding.

Section 7.1.10 End of Fiscal Year.

(b) A Property may cease to qualify as an Unencumbered Real Property, but may subsequently regain its status as a Unencumbered Real Property as provided in clause (c) below; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred as a result of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the Required Maximum Unencumbered Asset Ratio, such Event of Default shall not be cured as a result of such re-qualification.

(c) Borrower may include additional Properties (whether New Acquisitions, former Development Properties or Properties that had been Unencumbered Real Properties but ceased to qualify as such) by sending (i) a written certification that such Property then satisfies the criteria for a Unencumbered Real Property or, if a waiver or discretionary approval is required by the Required Lenders with respect to any element thereof, so specifying, and (ii) if requested by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, reasonable supporting documentation with respect to each of the elements of such certification or request.

In such event, the affected Unencumbered Real Property will immediately, as of the occurrence, cease to qualify as an Unencumbered Real Property hereunder, except to the extent provided in the following sentence. In the event that structural defects, Environmental Occurrence or casualty result in the temporary closure (for repair, restoration or remediation) of less than 25% of the rentable square footage and provided that the Tenant, by way of business interruption insurance proceeds or otherwise, is continuing to pay rent and other charges under its lease and the applicable Property Owner has given reasonable security to the Lenders to insure that such repair, restoration or remediation will be promptly and diligently resolved in a good and workman-like manner within sixty (60) days, then such Property will not cease to qualify as an Unencumbered Real Property for so long as such

conditions remain satisfied and provided that such issues are finally repaired or resolved within sixty (60) days.

(e) Borrower shall promptly after any Responsible Officer of the Borrower obtains knowledge thereof notify Administrative Agent (i) of any pay-down, pay off or other reduction in the outstanding amount of any Qualified Tenant Note, in which event the amount of the affected Qualified Tenant Note will immediately, as of the occurrence, be reduced in calculating the Unencumbered Total Value; (ii) (x) of any event or occurrence which would cause the representations in Section 6.9.6 with respect to a Qualified Tenant Note to be inaccurate in any respect, or (y) if any Qualified Tenant Note is not held and/or economic and beneficial interest in such Qualified Tenant Note is not owned by the holder by such Qualified Tenant Note as of the date hereof, in which event, the affected Qualified Tenant Note will immediately, as of the occurrence, cease to qualify with respect to Unencumbered Total Value hereunder.

Section 7.1.18 Material Agreements. Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to duly and punctually perform and comply with all terms and conditions of the Material Agreements identified on Schedule IV, the failure of which to comply would permit any other party thereto to terminate such Material Agreement.

Section 7.2 Negative Covenants.

(d) Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 8.4(h) or Section 2.6.6 hereof.

against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.4 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Lender may have.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.

(h) At such time as all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing, all amounts remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower.

Section 8.5 Allocation of Proceeds. If an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:

(f) amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 9.7;

(g) payments of all other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.1 Appointment.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DBNY as Administrative Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

(b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer to act on behalf of such Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for such Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent,” as used in this Article IX, included the Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuer.

Section 9.2 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 9.3 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable to any Person for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless

caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Section 9.4 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Credit Extensions and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Credit Extension or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein, in any other Loan Document or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

Section 9.5 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required under Section 10.1.

Section 9.6 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and

any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.7 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (i) resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (ii) solely from a disputes among Persons to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

Section 9.8 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any member of the Consolidated Group or any Affiliate of any member of the Consolidated Group (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any member of the Consolidated Group or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any member of the Consolidated Group or any Affiliate of any member of the Consolidated Group for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 9.9 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

Section 9.10 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any

time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless an Event of Default then exists with respect to the Borrower, the Borrower. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as the Issuer, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as the Issuer with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below in this Section 9.10 or as otherwise provided below in this Section 9.10.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Issuer hereunder and who shall be either an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval or acceptance shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent and Issuer hereunder and until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above in this Section 9.10 by the 35th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

Section 10.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that:

(a) the Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders; and

103

(b) the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the Lenders are subject to Section 10.9.

Section 10.9 Sale and Transfer of Loans and Notes; Participations in Loans and Notes. Lender may assign, or sell participations in, its Loans, Letters of Credit Outstandings and Commitments to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Section 10.9.

Section 10.9.1 Assignments.

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (which consents of the Borrower and the Issuer shall not be required (w) if the Eligible Assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, or (x) in the case of the Borrower, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and each of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such consents are in fact required), all or any fraction of such Lender’s total Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and Commitments; provided, however, that (y) the assigning Lender must assign a pro rata portion of each of its Loan Commitments, Loans and interest in Letters of Credit Outstandings and (z) no Lender may assign a Commitment of less than $5,000,000 (unless the entirety of such Lender’s Commitment is less than $5,000,000). The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Eligible Assignee until:

(i) notice of such assignment and delegation, together with (A) payment instructions, (B) the Internal Revenue Service Forms or other statements contemplated or required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.6, if applicable, (C) addresses and related information with respect to such Eligible Assignee, shall have been delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and such Eligible Assignee and (D) the Administrative Agent has made the appropriate entries in the Register;

(ii) such Eligible Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement, accepted by the Administrative Agent; and

(iii) the processing fees described below shall have been paid.

From and after the date that the Administrative Agent accepts such Lender Assignment Agreement, (x) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Eligible Assignee in connection with the Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of assignor Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y) the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it in connection with the Lender Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Accrued interest on that part of the Loans assigned, if any, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the

104

Lender Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in this Agreement. Unless such Eligible Assignee is an Affiliate of the assignor Lender, such assignor Lender or such Eligible Assignee must also pay a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement, which fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent at its sole discretion. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 10.9.1 shall be null and void.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank (or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) in support of borrowings made by Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent (which may be a Pfandbrief) providing credit or credit support to Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower). No pledge pursuant to this clause (b) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any assignment, pledge or transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Loan to a Pfandbrief, such Lender, at its own expense, may order an appraisal, and Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate, at such Lender’s expense, in coordinating the same with Borrower to the extent necessary to obtain such appraisal.

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent specified below its signature hereto (or at such other address as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with Section 10.2) a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding, in the absence of clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 10.9.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial lenders, financial institutions or other Persons (each of such commercial lenders, financial institutions or other Persons being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of the Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender hereunder (including loan derivatives and similar swap arrangements based on such Lender’s interests hereunder); provided, however, that

105

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 10.9.2 shall relieve Lender from its Commitments or its other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b) Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitments and such other obligations;

(c) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and under each of the other Loan Documents;

(d) no Lender may assign a participation of less than $5,000,000 (unless the entirety of such Lender’s Commitment is less than $5,000,000);

(e) no Lender may sell a participation to a natural Person, Borrower, or an Affiliate of Borrower; and

(f) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under this Agreement that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold.

In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined and paid as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Any Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Revolving Loan Commitment or other interest to a Participant under this Section 10.9.2, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from and against any Taxes or other costs or losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, which Taxes would not have been incurred or payable if such Participant had delivered a valid United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) to the Borrower or if such Participant had been a Non-U.S. Lender that was entitled to deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and had delivered, a duly completed and valid United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or W-8BEN (or applicable successor form) entitling such Participant to receive payments under this Agreement without or at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding of any United States federal Taxes.

Section 10.9.3 Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or

106

any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 10.10 No Fiduciary Duties. The obligations of the Lenders shall be those of lenders only and Lenders shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Lender or the holder of any Note or any Borrower Group Member; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Lender any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. The Lead Arranger, the Book Running Manager, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assume no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 10.11 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent, Issuer and each Lender agrees to maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information, the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of the Borrower Group Members or by the Administrative Agent on the Borrower Group Members’ behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Confidential Information”), and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Borrower Group Members, except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Administrative Agent, Issuer or the Lender or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower Group Members known to the Lender; provided, however, that Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such Governmental Authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Lender’s independent auditors, other professional advisors or agents (including rating agencies, credit insurers and the

107

CUSIP Bureau) who have been advised that such information is confidential pursuant to this Section 10.11; (G) to any Participant or Eligible Assignee in respect of such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, actual or potential, provided that such Person shall have agreed in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder with the Borrower being a third party beneficiary of such agreement; (H) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives who have been advised that such information is confidential pursuant to this Section 10.11; or (I) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty to swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor, provided that such Person shall have agreed in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder with the Borrower being a third party beneficiary of such agreement. Unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority (other than any request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender) for disclosure of Confidential Information prior to such disclosure; provided further, that in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated to return any materials furnished by the Borrower Group Members. This Section shall supersede any confidentiality letter or agreement with respect to the Borrower Group Members or the Transaction entered into prior to the date hereof.

Section 10.12 Tax Advice. None of the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent provides accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding anything provided herein, and any express or implied claims of exclusivity or proprietary rights, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby agree and acknowledge that the Borrower, each Lender and Administrative Agent (and each of their employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all Persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their discussions and without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided by the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the other relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except to the extent that such disclosure is subject to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with securities laws. In this regard, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that disclosure of the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has not been and is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, whether oral or written, and whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding, except to the extent that such disclosure is subject to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with securities laws. For purposes of this authorization, “tax treatment” means the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction, and “tax structure” means any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction. This Section 10.12 is intended to reflect the understanding of the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent that no transaction contemplated by this Agreement has been offered under “Conditions of Confidentiality” as that phrase is used in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i) and ###-###-####-2(c)(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. Nothing herein is intended to imply that any of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent has made or provided to, or for the benefit of, the other any oral or written statement as to any potential tax

108

consequences that are related to, or may result from, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUER OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION, SUBJECT TO THE BORROWER’S RIGHT TO CONTEST SUCH JUDGMENT BY MOTION OR APPEAL ON ANY GROUNDS NOT EXPRESSLY WAIVED IN THIS SECTION 10.13. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.2. EACH OF THE BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDER AND ISSUER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUER AND THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER,

109

OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUER OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS, THE LENDERS, AND THE ISSUER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.
