Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders severally agree to make Advances through the Administrative Agent to Borrower from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, and to support the issuance of the Facility Letters of Credit under Article IIA of this Agreement, provided that the making of any such Advance or the issuance of any such Facility Letter of Credit will not:
     (i) cause the then-current Outstanding Facility Amount to exceed the then-current Aggregate Commitment; or

     (iii) cause the then-current outstanding Swingline Advances to exceed the Swingline Commitment; or

The Advances may be Swingline Advances or ratable Base Rate Advances and ratable LIBOR Advances. Each Lender shall fund its Percentage of each such Advance (other than a Swingline Advance which shall be funded solely by the Swingline Lender) and no Lender will be required to fund any amounts which, when aggregated with such Lender’s Percentage of all other Advances then outstanding and of all Facility Letter of Credit Obligations, would exceed such Lender’s then-current Commitment. This facility (“Facility”) is a revolving credit facility and, subject to the provisions of

-20-


 

this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances hereunder, repay such Advances and reborrow Advances at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date.
     2.2. Termination or Increase in Aggregate Commitment. Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three (3) business days notice, to terminate or cancel, in whole or in part, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment in excess of the Outstanding Facility Amount, provided that each partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof.

On the effective date of any such increase, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any amounts due to it under the Fee Letter and to each new lender or then-current Lender providing such additional Commitment the up-front fee agreed to between Borrower and such party. Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new lender or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof.

The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding Advances to achieve such result. In no event shall the Aggregate Commitment exceed $150,000,000 without the approval of all of the Lenders.
     2.3. Applicable Margins.

Such changes shall be given prospective effect only, and no recalculation shall be done with respect to interest or Letter of Credit Fees accrued prior to the date of such change in the Applicable Margin. If any such compliance certificate shall later be determined to be incorrect and as a result a higher Applicable Margin should have been in effect for any period, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all additional interest and fees which would have accrued if the original compliance certificate had been correct, as shown on an invoice to be prepared by the Administrative Agent and delivered to Borrower, on the next Payment Date following delivery of such invoice. The per annum Applicable Margins that will be either added to the Floor Base Rate to determine the Base Rate or added to LIBOR Base Rate (as adjusted for any Reserve Requirement) to determine the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period shall be determined as follows:

-21-


 

                 
            Base Rate
Leverage Ratio   LIBOR Applicable Margin   Applicable Margin
> 55% but ≤ 60%
    4.25 %     0

    3.00 %     0  
     2.4. Final Principal Payment. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.
     2.5. Unused Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an unused facility fee (the “Unused Fee”) equal to an aggregate amount computed on a daily basis for each calendar quarter by multiplying the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such calendar quarter, calculated as a per diem rate, times the excess of the Aggregate Commitment over the Outstanding Facility Amount on each day of such calendar quarter. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the third (3rd) Business Day after the last day of each calendar quarter and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety.
     2.6. Other Fees. Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Borrower’s letter agreement with the Administrative Agent dated as of December 22, 2009 (the “Fee Letter”).
     2.7. Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000; provided, however, that any Base Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment.
     2.8. Principal Payments.
     (a) Optional. Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all or any part of outstanding Base Rate Advances on not less than one (1) Business Day prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A LIBOR Advance may be paid on the last day of the LIBOR applicable LIBOR Interest Period or, if and only if Borrower pays any amounts due to the Lenders under Section 3.4 as a result of such prepayment, on a day prior to such last day.
     (b) Mandatory. Borrower shall make mandatory partial principal payments from time to time if, due to any reduction in the Borrowing Base Value or in the Borrowing Base Debt Service Coverage, whether by a Borrowing Base Property failing to continue to satisfy the requirement for qualification as a Borrowing Base Property or by a reduction in the Borrowing Base Value or the Adjusted Borrowing Base NOI attributable to any Qualifying Borrowing Base Property, a violation of the covenants set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 6.21 shall occur. Such principal payments shall be in the amount needed to eliminate such violation. Such mandatory principal payments shall be due and payable (i) in the case of any reduction due to (a) reduction in the Borrowing Base NOI attributable to a Borrowing Base Property or a violation of one of the limitations set forth in Section 2.22(i), ten (10) business days after delivery of the quarterly financial statements and Compliance Certificate under Section 6.1 evidencing such reduction or (ii) in all other cases, ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of notice from the

-22-


 

Administrative Agent of such failure to satisfy a requirement for qualification as a Borrowing Base Property.
     2.9. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to the ratio their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment, except for Swingline Loans which shall be made by the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.16. Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit I (i) not later than 3:00 p.m. Cleveland time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of each Base Rate Advance (other than Swingline Advances), (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance, and (iii) not later than noon Cleveland, Ohio time on the same day as the Borrowing Date for each Swingline Advance, which shall specify:
     (i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,
     (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,
     (iii) the Type of Advance selected and,
     (iv) in the case of each LIBOR Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.
     (v) Each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in Cleveland to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than (i) 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time), in the case of Swingline Advances, or (ii) noon (Cleveland time) in the case of all other Advances. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.
     No LIBOR Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than five (5) different LIBOR Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances outstanding at any one time.
     2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Base Rate Advances shall continue as Base Rate Advances unless and until such Base Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Advances. Each LIBOR Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Advance until the end of the then applicable LIBOR Interest Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Advance shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Advance unless Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such LIBOR Interest Period, such LIBOR Advance either continue as a LIBOR Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto. Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance to a LIBOR Advance or continuation of a LIBOR Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time), at least three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or

-23-


 

continuation of a LIBOR Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:
     (i) the requested date which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;
     (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and
     (iii) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Advance, the duration of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.
     2.11. Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Advance into a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Base Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate. Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such LIBOR Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBOR Advance.
     2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such LIBOR Interest Period plus 3% per annum and (ii) each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate otherwise applicable to the Base Rate Advance plus 3% per annum; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2, unless waived by the Required Lenders.
     2.13. Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders’ interests in the Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (local time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative

-24-


 

Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.
     2.14. Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under such Note. Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer. Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. Upon a Lender’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.
     2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety under Section 2.2 hereof. Interest, Unused Fees, Facility Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
     2.16. Swingline Advances. In addition to the other options available to Borrower hereunder, the Swingline Commitment shall be available for Swingline Advances subject to the following terms and conditions. Swingline Advances shall be made available for same day borrowings provided that notice is given in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof. All Swingline Advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate. In no event shall the Swingline Lender be required to fund a Swingline Advance if it would increase the total aggregate outstanding Loans by Swingline Lender hereunder plus its Percentage of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of the Swingline Lender’s Commitment. No Swingline Advance may be made to repay a Swingline Advance, but Borrower may repay Swingline Advances from subsequent pro rata Advances hereunder. On the fifth (5th) day after such a Swingline Advance was made, if such Swingline Advance has not been repaid by Borrower, each Lender irrevocably agrees to purchase its Percentage of any Swingline Advance made by the Swingline Lender regardless of whether the conditions for disbursement are satisfied at the time of such purchase, including the existence of an Unmatured Default or Default hereunder provided that Swingline Lender did not have actual knowledge of such Unmatured Default or Default at the time the Swingline Advance was made and provided further that no Lender shall be required to have total outstanding Loans plus its Percentage of Facility Letters of

-25-


 

Credit exceed its Commitment. Such purchase shall take place on the date of the request by Swingline Lender so long as such request is made by noon (Cleveland time), and otherwise on the Business Day following such request. All requests for purchase shall be in writing. From and after the date it is so purchased, each such Swingline Advance shall, to the extent purchased, (i) be treated as a Loan made by the purchasing Lenders and not by the selling Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and the payment of the purchase price by a Lender shall be deemed to be the making of a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note, and (ii) shall no longer be considered a Swingline Advance except that all interest accruing on or attributable to such Swingline Advance for the period prior to the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender and all such amounts accruing on or attributable to such Loans for the period from and after the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the purchasing Lenders. If prior to purchasing its Percentage of a Swingline Advance one of the events described in Section 7.7 shall have occurred and such event prevents the consummation of the purchase contemplated by preceding provisions, each Lender will purchase an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swingline Advance in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Swingline Advance. From and after the date of each Lender’s purchase of its participating interest in a Swingline Advance, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment was received by the Swingline Lender and is required to be returned to Borrower, each Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it. If any Lender fails to so purchase its Percentage of any Swingline Advance, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.
     2.17. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Floor Base Rate.
     2.18. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.
     2.19. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative

-26-


 

Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from Borrower.
     2.20. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (b) cannot maintain its LIBOR Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase), at par all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
     2.21. Usury. This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
     2.22. Borrowing Base and Collateral. The obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest to be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Collateral, including the Pledged Equity Interests with respect to those Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties which have been approved by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent as of the Agreement Execution Date and are listed on Schedule 7 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Initial Borrowing Base Properties”) and such additional Pledged Equity Interests with respect to additional Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties

-27-


 

which may be included in Collateral hereafter as described below. Such security interest shall be evidenced from time to time by the Collateral Assignment and the other Security Documents. The Security Documents with respect to the Initial Borrowing Base Properties shall be executed, delivered and filed not later than the Agreement Execution Date.
     (i) Additional Requirements for Inclusion in Borrowing Base Value. The following additional requirements shall apply to the Initial Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties and to all subsequent Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties:
     (a) Occupancy Percentage. The aggregate Occupancy Percentage of all Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties must equal or exceed 80.0% at all times. If such minimum would be violated at any time, the Qualifying Borrowing Base Property with the lowest Occupancy Percentages shall be eliminated from inclusion in the calculation of Borrowing Base Value, as necessary to achieve such minimum and such eliminated Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties shall not be included in such calculation until their inclusion will not cause the aggregate Occupancy Percentage of all Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties to be less than 80.0%.
     (b) Remaining Lease Term. Until such time as the Borrowing Base Value exceeds $100,000,000, the weighted average remaining lease term of the leases at each Qualifying Borrowing Base Property (such weighting to be based on the respective demised rentable areas of such leases) shall be at least four (4) years. If such minimum would be violated at any time at a Qualifying Borrowing Base Property, such Qualifying Borrowing Base Property shall be eliminated from inclusion in the calculation of Borrowing Base Value until either the Borrowing Base Value exceeds $100,000,000 or the first day of the fiscal quarter of Borrower following the fiscal quarter in which the weighted average remaining lease term of the leases at such Qualifying Borrowing Base Property shall again equal or exceed four (4) years.
     (c) Diversification. Once the Borrowing Base Pool contains seven (7) Qualifying Borrowing Base Assets and has a Borrowing Base Value of at least $100,000,000, Borrower must maintain the following diversification limitations at all times:
  No one Qualifying Borrowing Base Property may constitute 35% or more of the Borrowing Base Value;
 
  No one “Metropolitan Statistical Area” (as determined from time to time by the United States Office of Management and Budget) may contain Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties that constitute in the aggregate 40% or more of total Borrowing Base Value; and
 
  The rental revenues paid by a single tenant (or group of tenants that are Affiliates of each other) may not comprise more than 20% of the Adjusted Borrowing Base NOI.
 
  To the extent that a Qualifying Borrowing Base Property causes any such diversification limitation to be violated, such Qualifying Borrowing Base Property shall still be included in the calculations of Borrowing Base Value and Adjusted Borrowing Base NOI, but the respective amounts so contributed to Borrowing Base Value and Adjusted Borrowing Base NOI by such Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with the foregoing diversification limitations. For example, if the Borrowing Base Value attributable to any Qualifying Borrowing Base Property would exceed 35% of the aggregate Borrowing Base

-28-


 

Value without such limitation, such Qualifying Borrowing Base Property’s contribution to Borrowing Base Value shall be reduced such that it is no more than 35% thereof.
     (d) Restriction on Ground Leased Projects. Not more than ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base Value and not more than ten percent (10%) of the Adjusted Borrowing Base NOI may at any time be attributable to Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties that are not owned in fee simple, but are instead leased under a Qualifying Ground Lease. To the extent that such percentage limitation is exceeded, such Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties shall still be included in the calculations of Borrowing Base Value and of Adjusted Borrowing Base NOI, but the amounts so contributed to Borrowing Base Value and Adjusted Borrowing Base NOI shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with such percentage limitation.
     (ii) Addition of Qualifying Borrowing Base Properties. Not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date on which (a) Borrower expects a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to acquire a Project that will become a Qualifying Borrowing Base Property or (b) a Project already owned by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is to be designated to become a Qualifying Borrowing Base Property, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing and thereafter provide the Administrative Agent with the following documents with respect to such Project (a “Proposed Borrowing Base Property”) in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent (the “Eligible Borrowing Base Property Qualification Documents”):
     (a) A formal written request to add such Project to the Borrowing Base Pool specifying the expected date for such addition.
     (b) A current rent roll and operating statement for the Proposed Borrowing Base Property.
     (c) A certificate from the Borrower showing the revised Borrowing Base Value, Borrowing Base diversification (as described in Section 2.22(i)(c)) and other Borrowing Base covenant calculations and compliance on a pro-forma basis that will be in effect after addition of such Proposed Borrowing Base Property.
     (d) A certification from the Borrower that the Proposed Borrowing Base Property is free from all material environmental and structural issues.
     (e) Other documents that may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent including, but not limited to copies of rent rolls, ARGUS runs, Leases, estoppels from all tenants under the Leases (to the extent obtainable after commercially reasonable collection efforts), current title insurance commitment and/or title search, together with copies of all title exceptions, current ALTA survey, current property condition reports and current environmental assessments.
     Each of the Lenders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after it receives notice and delivery thereof to notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether it approves or objects to the proposed Qualifying Borrowing Base Property which objection shall be in reasonable detail outlining why the proposed Qualifying Borrowing Base Property is not an Eligible Borrowing Base Property. If any such Lender does not so approve or object to the proposed Qualifying Borrowing Base Property, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the

-29-


 

proposed Qualifying Borrowing Base Property. If at any time the Administrative Agent shall determine that it does not have all of the Eligible Borrowing Base Property Qualification Documents, it shall promptly notify Borrower and request with specificity any missing documents. The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing within twenty (20) Business Days after it receives notice thereof and delivery of the Eligible Borrowing Base Property Qualification Documents related thereto if the Required Lenders have approved the proposed Qualifying Borrowing Base Property. If the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders notifies Borrower that such Project has been so approved to become a Qualifying Borrowing Base Property, then, as a condition precedent to such Project actually becoming a Qualifying Borrowing Base Property and being included in the Collateral, Borrower shall satisfy, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor owning such Project to satisfy, the following conditions (the “Collateral Inclusion Conditions”) with respect to such Project: (i) the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor owning such Project shall execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement with respect to the Subsidiary Guaranty, if such Subsidiary Guarantor has not already executed a Subsidiary Guaranty, (ii) Borrower shall execute and deliver (and shall cause any intervening Subsidiaries owning, directly or indirectly, any Equity Interests in such the Subsidiary Guarantor owning such Project to execute and deliver) to the Administrative Agent all instruments, documents, or agreements, including a Collateral Assignment with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests in such owning Subsidiary Guarantor in substantially the same form as the Collateral Assignment attached as Exhibit G, consents and acknowledgments with respect to such Collateral Assignment from such owning Subsidiary Guarantor , membership, partnership and stock certificates, as applicable and blank transfer powers, as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain and perfect a first priority security interest in, or Lien on, the Pledged Equity Interests in such owning Subsidiary Guarantor, and the other Collateral with respect thereto as described in the Collateral Assignment, if such documents have not previously been executed and delivered, (iii) cause the following documents with respect to such Substitute Collateral to be delivered, executed and/or filed: (A) a written opinion of the Borrower’s counsel addressed to the Lenders in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent regarding the documents described in clause (ii) above, (B) a evidence that the applicable title company has committed to issue a title insurance policy insuring such Subsidiary Guarantor’s title to the real property constituting the Project in a form, and with such coverages and endorsements, as are all reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation a so-called “mezzanine endorsement” in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in an amount not less than 50% of the Borrowing Base Value attributable to such Substitute Collateral to the extent such an endorsement is authorized to be issued in the state in which such Project is located, and (C) UCC-1 financing statements evidencing and perfecting the security interest granted in the applicable Pledged Equity Interests, and (iv) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a written confirmation that, as of the date such additional Collateral is included in Collateral, all of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.23 hereof are true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Qualifying Borrowing Base Property as if it were an Initial Borrowing Base Property. Administrative Agent and Borrower shall cooperate in good faith to document and satisfy the Collateral Inclusion Conditions as soon as reasonable possible after approval or deemed approval of the Required Lenders has been obtained.
     (iii) Sale, Contribution or Financing of a Borrowing Base Property. Provided no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the

-30-


 

transactions contemplated by this Section 2.22(iii), including the covenants set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) Section 6.21, Subsidiary may (i) sell a Borrowing Base Property (or Borrower may sell its Pledged Equity Interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor), (ii) contribute a Borrowing Base Property (or Borrower may contribute its Pledged Equity Interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor) to an existing or newly formed Investment Affiliate (iii) create a Lien securing Indebtedness on a Borrowing Base Property or (iv) request that a particular Project no longer constitutes a Borrowing Base Property (for purposes of this Section, such a sale or contribution of a Borrowing Base Property or the creation of such a Lien or recharacterization of such Project shall be referred to as a “Borrowing Base Release Transaction”) upon the following terms and conditions:

     2A.5 Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.
          (a) The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit. Any such draw shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder but shall constitute an Advance of the Facility in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at the Base Rate; provided that if a Default exists at the time of any such drawing(s), then Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
          (b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 2A.4, relieve any Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.
     2A.6 Participation.
          (a) Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IIA, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of Borrower with respect thereto) and all related rights hereunder. Each Lender’s obligation to make further Loans to Borrower (other than any payments such Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or to purchase an interest from the Issuing Bank in any subsequent Facility Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank on behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such Lender’s Percentage of the undrawn portion of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.
          (b) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2A.7 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank. Lender’s payments of its Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such

-34-


 

payment is to be made. Any Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 2A.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.
          (c) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage thereof.
          (d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or Lender.
          (e) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, and such payments shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.
     2A.7 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.
          (a) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any of the following circumstances:
     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
     (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);
     (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect of any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

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

          (b) In the event any payment by Borrower received by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, contribute such Lender’s Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent.
     2A.8 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.
(i) Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon the Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time hereunder while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be due and payable in advance on the Issuance Date of such Facility Letter of Credit and on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.13 hereof.
          (b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee equal to the greater of (A) $1,500 or (B) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum to be calculated on the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, based on the actual number of days and using a 360-day year basis. The issuance fee shall be payable by Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof. The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and the Issuing Bank’s standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder.
2A.9 Letter of Credit Collateral Account. Borrower hereby agrees that it will immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, establish a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and in which Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall hold the deposits Borrower is required to make after a Default on account of any outstanding Facility Letters of Credit as described in Section 8.1. In addition to the foregoing, Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that may hereafter be on deposit in such account, including income earned thereon. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that Borrower has no obligation to fund the Letter of Credit Collateral Account unless and until so required under Section 8.1 hereof.

ARTICLE III.
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
     3.1. Yield Protection. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, if, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:
     (i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation party hereto to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Loans, or
     (ii) imposes or increases or makes applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, or
     (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Loans, by an amount deemed material by such Lender as the case may be,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its LIBOR Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such LIBOR Loans or Commitment, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
     3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the June 2006 report of the Basel

-37-


 

Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.
     3.3. Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any LIBOR Advances of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any LIBOR Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a LIBOR Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any LIBOR Advances made after the date of any such determination. If Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Advance, Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Advance.
     3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable LIBOR Advance is not made on the date specified by Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the LIBOR Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.
     3.5. Taxes.
     (i) All payments by Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.
     (ii) In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).

-38-


 

     (iii) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
     (iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
     (v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.
     (vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.
     (vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly

-39-


 

completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.
     3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, Borrower shall not be required to pay the same unless they are the result of requirements imposed generally on lenders similar to such Lender and not the result of some specific reserve or similar requirement imposed on such Lender as a result of such Lender’s special circumstances. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, such Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount; provided that Borrower is not required to compensate Lender pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the events giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Loans to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Base Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

     In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Required Lenders Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto. Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall not be entitled to receive any interest thereon. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit and associated issuance costs and fees. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Facility Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to Borrower.
     If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Facility Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Sections 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Facility Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

     8.2. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement or waiver shall, without the consent of all Lenders:
     (i) Extend the Facility Termination Date, or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon or of the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or of the Unused Fee, reduce the Applicable Margins (or modify any definition herein which would have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margins) or the underlying interest rate options or extend the time of payment of any such principal, interest or fees.
     (ii) Release any Pledged Equity Interest, release the Parent Guarantor from the Parent Guaranty or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty, except as permitted in Section 2.22(iii) and Section 6.13.

     (vi) Amend Sections 8.1, 8.2 or 11.2.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.
     8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.
     8.4. Application of Funds. After the acceleration of the Facility Obligations as provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Facility Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable and Borrower has been required to make a deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as set forth in Section 8.1), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
     (i) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including attorney costs and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

-63-


 

     (ii) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Issuing Bank and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;
     (iii) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, Facility Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;
     (iv) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Facility Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations and to deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account the undrawn amounts of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders, and the Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) held by them;
     (v) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting Related Swap Obligations ratably among the Lenders and Affiliates of Lenders holding such Related Swap Obligations in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (v) held by them; and
     (vi) the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. If the Administrative Agent shall be grossly negligent in the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent may be removed by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from all Lenders holding 66 2/3% of that portion of the Aggregate Commitment not held by the Administrative Agent, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the other Lenders.

     10.12. Notice of Defaults.

     10.13. Requests for Approval. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent.

     10.14. Defaulting Lenders. At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be changed without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans” for the purposes of this section). All amounts paid by Borrower or the Guarantor and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future payments by Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 10.14. This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.
ARTICLE XI.

     11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
     11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
     12.2. Participations.
     (i) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
     (ii) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any other Loan Document.

-71-


 

     (iii) Benefit of Setoff. Borrower agrees that each Participant which has previously advised Borrower in writing of its purchase of a participation in a Lender’s interest in its Loans shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from Borrower twice. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.
     12.3. Assignments.
     (i) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any Eligible Assignee all or any portion (greater than or equal to $5,000,000 for each assignee, so long as the hold position of the assigning Lender is not less than $5,000,000) of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to an Eligible Assignee which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
     (ii) Effect; Effective Date.

Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Eligible Assignee pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Eligible Assignee, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

     12.5. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5.

ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
     This Assignment Agreement (this “Assignment Agreement”) between (the “Assignor”) and (the “Assignee”) is dated as of , . The parties hereto agree as follows:
     1. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT. The Assignor is a party to a Credit Agreement (which, as it may be amended, modified, renewed or extended from time to time is herein called the “Credit Agreement”) described in Item 1 of Schedule 1 attached hereto (“Schedule 1”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement.
     2. ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, an interest in and to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement such that after giving effect to such assignment the Assignee shall have purchased pursuant to this Assignment Agreement the percentage interest specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 of all outstanding rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The aggregate Commitment (or Loans, if the applicable Commitment has been terminated) purchased by the Assignee hereunder is set forth in Item 4 of Schedule 1.
     3. EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the “Effective Date”) shall be the later of the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1 or two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Agent) after a Notice of Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit “I” attached hereto has been delivered to the Administrative Agent. Such Notice of Assignment must include the consent of the Agent required by Section 12.3.1 of the Credit Agreement. In no event will the Effective Date occur if the payments required to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor on the Effective Date under Sections 4 and 5 hereof are not made on the proposed Effective Date. The Assignor will notify the Assignee of the proposed Effective Date no later than the Business Day prior to the proposed Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) the Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its corresponding obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee hereunder.
     4. PAYMENTS OBLIGATIONS. On and after the Effective Date, the Assignee shall be entitled to receive from the Agent all payments of principal, interest and fees with respect to the interest assigned hereby. The Assignee shall advance funds directly to the Agent with respect to all Loans and reimbursement payments made on or after the Effective Date with respect to the interest assigned hereby. [In consideration for the sale and assignment of Loans hereunder, (i) the Assignee shall pay the Assignor, on the Effective Date, an amount equal to the principal amount of the portion of all Base Rate Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) with respect to each LIBOR Loan made by the Assignor and assigned to the Assignee hereunder which is outstanding on the Effective Date, (a) on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period therefor or (b) on such earlier date agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee or (c) on the date on which any such LIBOR Loan either becomes due (by acceleration or otherwise) or is prepaid (the date as described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) or (c) being hereinafter referred to as the “LIBOR Rate Due Date”), the Assignee shall pay the Assignor an amount equal to the principal amount of the portion of such LIBOR Loan assigned to the Assignee

D-1


 

which is outstanding on the LIBOR Rate Due Date. If the Assignor and the Assignee agree that the applicable LIBOR Rate Due Date for such LIBOR Loan shall be the Effective Date, they shall agree, solely for purposes of dividing interest paid by Borrower on such LIBOR Loan, to an alternate interest rate applicable to the portion of such Loan assigned hereunder for the period from the Effective Date to the end of the related LIBOR Interest Period (the “Agreed Interest Rate”) and any interest received by the Assignee in excess of the Agreed Interest Rate, with respect to such LIBOR Loan for such period, shall be remitted to the Assignor. [In the event interest for any period from the Effective Date to but not including the LIBOR Rate Due Date is not paid when due by Borrower with respect to any LIBOR Loan sold by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor interest for such period on the portion of such LIBOR Loan sold by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder at the applicable rate provided by the Credit Agreement.] In the event a prepayment of any LIBOR Loan which is existing on the Effective Date and assigned by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder occurs after the Effective Date but before the applicable LIBOR Rate Due Date, the Assignee shall remit to the Assignor any excess of the funding indemnification amount paid by Borrower under Section 3.4 of the Credit Agreement an account of such prepayment with respect to the portion of such LIBOR Loan assigned to the Assignee hereunder over the amount which would have been paid if such prepayment amount were calculated based on the Agreed Interest Rate and only covered the portion of the LIBOR Interest Period after the Effective Date. The Assignee will promptly remit to the Assignor (i) the portion of any principal payments assigned hereunder and received from the Agent with respect to any LIBOR Loan prior to its LIBOR Rate Due Date and (ii) any amounts of interest on Loans and fees received from the Agent which relate to the portion of the Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder for periods prior to the Effective Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans or fees, or the LIBOR Rate Due Date, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and not previously paid by the Assignee to the Assignor.]* In the event that either party hereto receives any payment to which the other party hereto is entitled under this Assignment Agreement, then the party receiving such amount shall promptly remit it to the other party hereto.
*Each Assignor may insert its standard payment provisions in lieu of the payment terms included in this Exhibit.
     5. FEES PAYABLE BY THE ASSIGNEE. The Assignee shall pay to the Assignor a fee on each day on which a payment of interest or facility fees is made under the Credit Agreement with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee hereunder (other than a payment of interest or facility fees attributable to the period prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Payment Date, which the Assignee is obligated to deliver to the Assignor pursuant to Section 4 hereof). The amount of such fee shall be the difference between (i) the interest or fee, as applicable, paid with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) the interest or fee, as applicable, which would have been paid with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee hereunder if each interest rate was calculated at the rate of   % rather than the actual percentage used to calculate the interest rate paid by Borrower or if the Unused Fee was calculated at the rate of   % rather than the actual percentage used to calculate the Unused Fee paid by Borrower, as applicable. In addition, the Assignee agrees to pay   % of the fee required to be paid to the Agent in connection with this Assignment Agreement.
     6. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ASSIGNOR; LIMITATIONS ON THE ASSIGNOR’S LIABILITY.

     7. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ASSIGNEE. The Assignee (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements requested by the Assignee and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on such documents and information at it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, (iii) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender, (v) agrees that its payment instructions and notice instructions are as set forth in the attachment to Schedule 1, (vi) confirms that none of the funds, monies, assets or other consideration being used to make the purchase and assumption hereunder are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that its rights, benefits and interests in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA, [and (vii) attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying that the Assignee is entitled to receive payments under the Loan Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes].**

     8. INDEMNITY. The Assignee agrees to indemnify and hold the Assignor harmless against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liabilities incurred by the Assignor in connection with or arising in any manner from the Assignee’s non-performance of the obligations assumed under this Assignment Agreement.
     9. SUBSEQUENT ASSIGNMENTS. After the Effective Date, the Assignee shall have the right pursuant to Section 12.3.1 of the Credit Agreement to assign the rights which are assigned to the Assignee hereunder to any entity or person, provided that (i) any such subsequent assignment does not violate any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree and that any consent required under the terms of the Loan Documents has been obtained and (ii) unless the prior written consent of the Assignor is obtained, the Assignee is not thereby released from its obligations to the Assignor hereunder, if any remain unsatisfied, including, without limitation, its obligations under Sections 4, 5 and 8 hereof.

EXHIBIT F
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
     This Guaranty is made as of March ___, 2010 by the parties identified in the signature pages thereto, and any Joinder to Guaranty hereafter delivered (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), to and for the benefit of KeyBank National Association, individually (“KeyBank”) and as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lenders”) and to and for the benefit of the counterparties to those certain “Related Swap Contracts” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which may include Lenders and certain Affiliates of Lenders (collectively, the “Related Creditors” and, with the Lenders, the “Credit Parties”).
RECITALS
     A. Terreno Realty LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Borrower”), and Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Lenders make a revolving credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 subject to future increase up to $150,000,000 (the “Facility”).
     B. The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Senior Revolving Credit Agreement of even date herewith among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
     C. Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender’s Commitment and promissory notes in the principal amount, if any, of each Lender’s Loan as evidence of Borrower’s indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”).
     D. Borrower may enter into certain Swap Contracts with one or more of the Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders.
     E. Subsidiary Guarantors are subsidiaries of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the execution and delivery of Swap Contracts by certain Lenders and Affiliates of Lenders will benefit Subsidiary Guarantors by making funds available to Subsidiary Guarantors through Borrower and by enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Subsidiary Guarantors and Borrower are members. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Subsidiary Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their obligations under the Credit Agreement and the execution and delivery of any Swap Contracts by such Lenders and Affiliates of Lender.

AGREEMENTS
     NOW, THEREFORE, Subsidiary Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agree as follows:
     1. Subsidiary Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranty to each of the Lenders and Lenders’ Affiliates:
     (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;
     (b) prompt payment of Related Swap Obligations;
     (c) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and
     (d) the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents and under the Related Swap Contracts.
All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Indebtedness.” All obligations described in subparagraph (d) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.” Subsidiary Guarantors and the other Loan Parties agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not exceed the greater of: (i) the aggregate amount of all monies received, directly or indirectly, by Subsidiary Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or other means), or (ii) the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Indebtedness not subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable state law (the “Bankruptcy Code”). To that end, to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code if Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Subsidiary Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to have incurred debts (or intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, as such terms are determined, and at the time such obligations are deemed to have been incurred, under the Bankruptcy Code. In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty each other guarantor of the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall contribute to such Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata share (based on their respective maximum liabilities hereunder and under such other guaranty) of such payment or payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that such contribution right shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment in full of all the Guaranteed Indebtedness to Lenders.
     2. In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Subsidiary Guarantors agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent

F-2


 

or the holder of a Note or a Related Swap Obligation, to pay all the Guaranteed Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents or under the applicable Swap Contract, as the case may be.
     3. Subsidiary Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower or which Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Subsidiary Guarantors with liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties to inform Subsidiary Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, Related Swap Contract, or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Credit Parties have no duty so to inform and that Subsidiary Guarantors are fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Credit Party to proceed against any other security given to a Credit Party in connection with the Guaranteed Indebtedness or the Obligations. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Credit Parties to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Subsidiary Guarantors, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. The Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantors the Credit Parties’ assessment of the financial condition of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties to Subsidiary Guarantors. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents or in the Related Swap Contracts shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties from proceeding against Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty.
     4. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Subsidiary Guarantors of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any waiver by the Related Creditors under any Related Swap Contracts or by the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties’ failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents or in a Related Swap Contract, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties of any security

F-3


 

or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Guaranteed Indebtedness, even though a Credit Party might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Subsidiary Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents and the Related Swap Contracts and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Subsidiary Guarantors further understand and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Related Swap Contract, or any thereof, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or any Related Swap Contract and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent’s, and Credit Parties’ rights hereunder or any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder.
     5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Guaranteed Indebtedness or Obligations from time to time. Subsidiary Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or the Related Swap Contracts or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or under the Related Swap Contracts, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Subsidiary Guarantors that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or under a Related Swap Contract or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or pursuant to a Related Swap Contract is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Credit Party had not been made, regardless of whether such Credit Party contested the order requiring the return of such payment. The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

F-4


 

     6. This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Credit Party to any assignee of all or a portion of such Credit Party’s rights under the Loan Documents or Swap Contracts.
     7. If: (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents or any Swap Contract are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document or any Swap Contract; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or a Swap Contract or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents or a Swap Contract in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any Related Swap Contract, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Credit Facility or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.
     8. The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.
     9. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Subsidiary Guarantors now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Subsidiary Guarantors will not seek, accept, or retain for Subsidiary Guarantors’ own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents or when a default by any Loan Party under any Swap Contract with one or more of the Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period thereunder, and any such payments to Subsidiary Guarantors made while any such event has occurred and is continuing on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Subsidiary Guarantors in trust for the Credit Parties and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or to the applicable Related Creditor, as the case may be, on account of the Guaranteed Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.
     10. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby subordinate to the Guaranteed Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower

arising from a payment made by Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Guaranteed Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Credit Parties or any right of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Credit Parties to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Credit Parties for the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Subsidiary Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder. It is expressly understood that the agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Credit Parties for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.
     11. Any amounts received by a Credit Parties from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by such Credit Parties toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as such Credit Party may from time to time elect.
     12. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Illinois for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty.

Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of Ohio and hereby waives any objection which Subsidiary Guarantors may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Credit Party from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.
     13. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Guaranty shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.

     4. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions that may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or

G-2


 

by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders’ failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, (unless such payment was expressly directed to be applied to the Facility Indebtedness and such direction was made in accordance with the Loan Documents) even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all Indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing that might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend or modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ rights hereunder or any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
     5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Facility from time to time. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at Law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

G-3


 

     6. This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Lender to any assignee of all or a portion of such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.
     7. If: (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property securing the Facility Indebtedness (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.
     8. The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable Law. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to violate any applicable Law or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lender or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.
     9. Any Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Guarantor will not seek, accept, or retain for Guarantor’s own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated Indebtedness at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, and any such payments to Guarantor made while any Default or Event of Default then exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents on account of such subordinated Indebtedness shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Facility Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
     10. Guarantor hereby subordinates to the Facility Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Guarantor may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Guarantor under this Guaranty and agrees that, until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Guarantor or the Lenders or any right of Guarantor or the Lenders to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lenders for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be

G-4


 

entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder. It is expressly understood that the agreements of Guarantor set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Lenders for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.
     11. Any amounts received by a Lender from any source on account of any Facility Indebtedness may be applied by such Lender toward the payment of such Facility Indebtedness, and in such order of application as is set forth in the Credit Agreement.
     12. Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Ohio for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby consents to the jurisdiction of either the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in Cleveland, Ohio or the United States District Court in Cleveland, Ohio, in any action, suit, or proceeding that the Administrative Agent or a Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter. Guarantor hereby agrees that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of Ohio and hereby waives any objection that Guarantor may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.
     13. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Guaranty shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES
     Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to be prepared in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E1527-94), a summary of which follows:
This ASTM practice is generally considered the industry standard for conducting a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). The purpose of this standard is to “define good commercial and customary practice in the Untied States of America for conducting an ESA of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products.” The ASTM Phase I ESA is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability; that is, the practice that constitutes “all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practices” as defined in 42 USC 9601(35)(B).
The goal of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to identify “recognized environmental conditions.” Recognized environmental conditions means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies.
The ASTM standard indicates that a Phase I ESA should consist of four main components: 1) Records Review; 2) Site Reconnaissance; 3) Interviews; and 4) Report. The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The site reconnaissance involves physical observation of the property’s exterior and interior, as well as an observation of adjoining properties. Interviews with previous and current owners and occupants, and local government officials provides insight into the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The final component of the ESA, the report, contains the findings of the ESA and conclusions regarding the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. It includes documentation to support the analysis, opinions, and conclusions found in the report.
While the use of this practice is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry for purposes of CERCLA’s innocent landowner defense, it is not intended that its use be limited to that purpose. The ASTM standard is intended to be an approach to conducting an inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property, and environmental site assessments.

          (c) All notes or other documents or instruments now or hereafter evidencing or securing any such Distributions from any of the Companies; and

     3. Obligations Secured. This Assignment secures the payment and performance by Assignor of the Obligations.
          (a) Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, either in the name of Agent, or in the name of Assignor, at Assignor’s sole cost and expense, and regardless of whether or not Agent becomes a member in any of the Companies, to take any or all of the following actions at such time as a Default has occurred and is continuing:
               (i) to ask, demand, sue for, attach, levy, settle, compromise, collect, recover, receive and give receipt for any and all Collateral and to take any and all actions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, making any statements and doing and taking any actions on behalf of Assignor which are otherwise required of Assignor under the terms of any agreement as conditions precedent to the payment of the Distributions, and the right and power to endorse, in the name of Assignor, any checks, notes, drafts and other instruments received in payment of all or any portion of the Collateral; and

K-2


 

               (ii) to institute one or more actions against any of the Companies or any member thereof in connection with the collection of the Distributions, to prosecute to judgment, settle or dismiss any such actions, and to make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable, in Agent’s sole discretion, with respect to such Distributions, to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Organizational Agreements with respect to the Distributions or release any of the Companies or any member thereof, from their respective obligations to pay any Distribution, without incurring responsibility to, or affecting any liability of, Assignor under any of the Organizational Agreements; it being specifically understood and agreed, however, that Agent shall not be obligated in any manner whatsoever to exercise any such power or authority or be in any way responsible for the collection of or realizing upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing and any such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Agent, its successors and assigns until this Assignment terminates as provided in Section 13, below.
     4. Warranties and Covenants. Assignor does hereby warrant and represent to, and covenants and agrees with Agent, as follows:
          (a) This Assignment has been duly executed and delivered by Assignor and constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of Assignor.
          (b) None of the Pledged Equity Interests is evidenced by any certificate, instrument, document or other writing other than the Organizational Agreements.
          (c) True, correct and complete copies of each of the Organizational Agreements, together with all amendments thereto, have been delivered to Agent by Assignor, each of the Organizational Agreements is in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, and, so long as this Assignment remains in effect, Assignor shall not materially modify, amend, cancel, release, surrender or terminate, or permit the modification, amendment, cancellation, release, surrender or termination of, any of the Organizational Agreements, or dissolve, liquidate or permit the expiration of any of the Organizational Agreements or the termination or cancellation thereof, without in each instance the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
          (d) Assignor is and shall remain the sole lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Pledged Equity Interests, and the right to receive the Distributions, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges, claims of third parties and rights of set-off or recoupment whatsoever (other than those in favor of Agent hereunder), and Assignor has the full and complete right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Assignment. Assignor is not and will not become a party to or otherwise be bound by or subject to any agreement, other than the Loan Documents, that restricts in any manner the rights of any present or future holder of the Collateral with respect thereto. No Person has any option, right of first refusal, right of first offer or other right to acquire all or any portion of the Collateral.
          (e) This Assignment creates a valid and binding first priority security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Neither Assignor nor any other Person has performed, nor will Assignor perform or permit any such other Person to perform, any acts which might prevent Agent from enforcing the terms and conditions of this Assignment or which would limit Agent in any such enforcement.

K-3


 

          (f) Assignor consents (to the extent applicable Law does not prohibit Assignor from pre-consenting), and hereby directs the applicable Company to so consent, to the admission of Agent or any other purchaser of the Pledged Equity Interests upon a foreclosure sale as a substitute partner of such Company with all of the rights and privileges of a partner of the same type as Assignor under the applicable Organizational Agreements in the event that Agent exercises its rights under this Assignment and Agent or such other purchaser succeeds to ownership of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests.
          (g) Assignor’s correct legal name indicated on the public record of Assignor’s jurisdiction, mailing address, identity or corporate structure, residence or chief executive office, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number, and federal tax identification number, are as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. Assignor has been using or operating under said name, identity or corporate structure without change for the time period set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. In order to perfect the pledge and security interests granted herein against Assignor, an appropriate UCC Financing Statement must be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall not change any of the matters addressed by the first two sentences of this subsection unless it has given Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and caused to be filed at the request of Agent, or Agent’s counsel to file, such additional financing statements or other instruments in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.
          (h) Assignor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements, documents, endorsements, assurances and instruments as Agent may reasonably at any time request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Assignment or related to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order to better assure and confirm unto Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, Assignor shall, at the request of Agent, make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or authorize the execution and delivery of and where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent all such other and further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, certificates and other documents as Agent from time to time may require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning and confirming to Agent the Collateral and the rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter to be conveyed or assigned, and for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Assignment. Upon any failure of Assignor to do so, Agent may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Assignor, and Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact with full power of substitutions of Assignor so to do. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Assignor will obtain such waivers of lien, estoppel certificates or subordination agreements as Agent may reasonably require to insure the priority of its security interest in the Collateral. Assignor also shall furnish to Agent such evidence as Agent reasonably may require from time to time to establish a valid security interest in and to further protect and perfect its security interest in the Collateral.
          (i) Assignor hereby authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Collateral or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or

K-4


 

desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Assignor under this Assignment or any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number and organizational number of Assignor. Agent shall upon request provide Assignor with copies of any and all such filings made by Agent.
          (j) The Pledged Equity Interests and the Distributions are not and will not (A) be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) be “investment company securities” (as defined in Section 8-103(b) of the UCC), and (C) be credited to a securities account. None of the Organizational Documents expressly provides that the Pledged Equity Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction.
     5. General Covenants. Assignor covenants and agrees that, so long as this Assignment is continuing:
          (a) Except as may be specifically set forth in the Credit Agreement, Assignor shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld by Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, directly or indirectly or by operation of law, sell, transfer, assign, dispose of, pledge, convey, option, mortgage, hypothecate or encumber any of the Collateral.
          (b) Assignor shall at all times defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any interest in the Collateral adverse to Agent’s interest in the Collateral as granted hereunder.
          (c) Assignor shall perform in all material respects all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under each of the Organizational Agreements and with respect to the Collateral.
          (d) Assignor shall pay all taxes and other charges against the Collateral.
          (e) Assignor shall promptly deliver to Agent as additional Collateral any note or other document or instrument entered into after the date hereof which evidences, constitutes, guarantees or secures any of the Distributions or any right to receive a Distribution, which notes or other documents and instruments shall be accompanied by such endorsements or assignments as Agent may require to create a perfected security interest therein in favor Agent.
          (f) Assignor will provide to Agent such documents and reports respecting the Collateral in such form and detail as Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
          (g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Assignor shall remain liable under each of the Organizational Agreements and all other contracts, agreements and instruments included in, giving rise to, creating, establishing, evidencing or relating to the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations (including, without limitation, any obligation to make capital contributions or provide other funds to such entities) to the same extent as if this Assignment had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under any of the Organizational Agreements or any such contracts, agreements and instruments, and (iii) neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability under any of the Organizational Agreements or any such contract, agreement or instrument by reason of this Assignment, nor shall Agent or any of the Lenders be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Assignor

thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment or other right or privilege assigned to Agent hereunder.
          (h) If Assignor shall at any time be entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate or other property, option or right upon, in respect of, as an addition to, or in substitution or exchange for any of the Collateral (other than cash distributions), whether for value paid by Assignor or otherwise, Assignor agrees that the same shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be delivered directly to Agent in each case, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and powers duly executed by Assignor in such a form as may be required by Agent, to be held by Agent subject to the terms hereof, as further security for the Obligations (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the application of the foregoing to the Obligations). If Assignor receives any of the foregoing directly, Assignor agrees to hold such property in trust for the benefit of Agent, and to surrender such property to Agent immediately. In the event that Assignor purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains any additional interest in any Company, or any rights or options to acquire such interest, all rights to receive profits, proceeds, accounts, income, dividends, distributions or other payments as a result of such additional interest, rights and options shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral. All certificates, if any, representing such interests shall be promptly delivered to Agent, together with assignments related thereto, or other instruments appropriate to transfer a certificate representing any such interest, duly executed in blank.
     6. Event of Default. An Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following:
          (a) The occurrence of a Default under the Credit Agreement; or
          (b) Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Assignor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than Agent or Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of Agent and the effect of such filing is not completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Assignor thereof.
     7. Remedies.
          (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may take any action deemed by Agent to be necessary or appropriate to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Agent under this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests. The remedies of Agent shall include, without limitation, all rights and remedies specified in the Loan Documents and this Assignment, all remedies of Agent under applicable general or statutory Law, and the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, regardless of whether the UCC has been enacted or enacted in that form in any other jurisdiction in which such right or remedy is asserted. In addition to such other remedies as may exist from time to time, whether by way of set-off, banker’s lien, consensual security interest or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent is authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to or demand upon Assignor (any such notice or demand being expressly waived by Assignor) to charge any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Agent to or for the credit of or the account of Assignor against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Agent shall have made any demand for payment and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Any notice required by Law, including, but not limited to, notice of the intended disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, shall be

K-6


 

reasonable and properly given in the manner prescribed for the giving of notice herein, and, in the case of any notice of disposition, if given at least five (5) business days prior to such disposition. Agent may require Assignor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at any place to be designated by Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent shall be entitled to dispose of the Collateral at any public or private sale, and that Agent shall be entitled to bid and purchase at any such sale without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement, advertisement or notice (except such notice as is otherwise required under this Assignment) of any kind, all of which are expressly waived. In the event that Agent is the successful bidder at any public or private sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, the amount bid by the Agent may be credited against the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement. To the extent the Collateral consists of marketable securities, Agent shall not be obligated to sell such securities for the highest price obtainable, but shall sell them at the market price available on the date of sale. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given. Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from claim or right on the part of Assignor. In the event that any consent, approval or authorization of any Governmental Agency or commission will be necessary to effectuate any such sale or sales, Assignor shall execute all such applications or other instruments as Agent may deem reasonably necessary to obtain such consent, approval or authorization. Agent may notify any account debtor or obligor with respect to the Collateral to make payment directly to Agent, and may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral as Agent may determine whether or not the Obligations are due, and for the purpose of realizing Agent’s rights therein, Agent may receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Assignor and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title or other evidences of payment, shipment or storage of any form of Collateral on behalf and in the name of Assignor, as its attorney-in-fact. In addition, Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact either in the name of Agent or Assignor to (i) sign Assignor’s name on any Collateral, drafts against account debtors, assignments, any proof of claim in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any account debtor, any notice of lien, claim of lien or assignment or satisfaction of lien, or on any financing statement or continuation statement under the UCC; (ii) send verifications of accounts receivable to any account debtor; and (iii) in connection with a transfer of the Collateral as described above, sign in Assignor’s name any documents necessary to transfer title to the Collateral to Agent or any third party. All acts of said power of attorney are hereby ratified and approved and Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of law or fact made in connection therewith. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any amounts remain unpaid on any of the Obligations. All remedies of Agent shall be cumulative to the full extent provided by Law, all without liability except to account for property actually received, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise such r ights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Pursuit by Agent of certain judicial or other remedies shall not abate nor bar other remedies with respect to the Obligations or to other portions of the Collateral. Agent may exercise its rights to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of security or reimbursement for the Obligations. In the event that any transfer tax, deed tax, conveyance tax or similar tax is payable in connection with the foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise of all or any portion of the Collateral, Assignor shall pay such amount to Agent upon demand and if Assignor fail to pay such amount on demand, Agent may advance such amount on behalf of Assignor and the amount thereof shall become a part of the Obligations and bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts under the Credit Agreement until paid.

          (b) If Assignor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Assignment beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of Assignor contained in this Assignment that Assignor fails to perform, and the cost of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Assignor upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
          (c) Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and whether or not Agent is the absolute owner of the Collateral, Agent may take such action as Agent may deem necessary to protect the Collateral or its security interest therein, Agent being hereby authorized to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien that in the reasonable judgment of Agent appears to be prior or superior to its security interest, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorney’s fees. Any such advances made or expenses incurred by Agent shall be deemed advanced under the Loan Documents, shall increase the indebtedness evidenced and secured thereby, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the rate for overdue payments set forth in the Credit Agreement.
          (d) Any certificates or securities held by Agent as Collateral hereunder may, at any time, and at the option of Agent, be registered in the name of Agent or its nominee, endorsed or assigned in blank or in the name of any nominee and Agent may deliver any or all of the Collateral to the issuer or issuers thereof for the purpose of making denominational exchanges or registrations or transfer or for such other purposes in furtherance of this Assignment as Agent may deem desirable. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignor shall retain the right to vote any of the Collateral, or exercise membership rights, in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, and Agent hereby grants to Assignor its proxy to enable Assignor to so vote any of the Collateral (except that Assignor shall not have any right to exercise any such power if the exercise thereof would violate or result in a violation of any of the terms of this Assignment or any of the other Loan Documents). At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent or its nominee shall, without notice or demand, automatically have the sole and exclusive right to give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and exercise all voting, approval or other rights at any meeting of the members of any of the Companies, respectively (and the right to call such meetings) or otherwise (and to give written consents in lieu of voting thereon), and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any of the rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto and thereunder as if Agent or its nominee were the absolute owner thereof (all of such rights of the Assignor ceasing to exist and terminating upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) including, without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or the readjustment of the issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received and in such manner as Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, but Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for the failure to do so or delay in so doing. The exercise by Agent of any of its rights and remedies under this paragraph shall not be deemed a disposition of collateral under Article 9 of the UCC nor an acceptance by Agent of any of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations.
     8. Duties of Agent. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Agent’s duty with reference to the Collateral shall be solely to use slight care in the custody and preservation

K-8


 

of the Collateral, which shall not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties. Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the collection of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of value or uncollectability of any of the payments received by it.
     9. Indemnification.
          (a) It is specifically understood and agreed that this Assignment shall not operate to place any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon Agent or any of the Lenders, or cause Agent or any of the Lenders to be, or to be deemed to be, a member in any of the Companies and that in accepting this Assignment, Agent and the Lenders neither assume nor agree to perform at any time whatsoever any obligation or duty of Assignor under any of the Organizational Agreements or any other mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which Assignor is a party or to which it is subject, all of which obligations and duties shall be and remain with and upon Assignor.
          (b) Assignor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, expenses, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Assignment (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Assignment or acts taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or the Lenders hereunder or in connection therewith), except claims, expenses, losses or liabilities resulting from Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
          (c) Assignor upon demand shall pay to Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel actually incurred (including those incurred in any appeal), and of any experts and agents, which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Assignment, (ii) the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Assignor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
     10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Agent, and the security interests hereunder, and all of the Obligations secured hereby, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
          (a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
          (b) Any change in the time (including any extensions of the maturity date of the Loan as provided in the Credit Agreement), manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents;
          (c) Any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral for the Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; or
          (d) Any other circumstance (other than payment of the Obligations in full) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Assignor, the other Loan Parties or any third party for the Obligations or any part thereof.
     11. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Assignment nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same

K-9


 

shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or omission of Agent to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. Failure on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act that constitutes an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of Agent’s rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Event of Default. Assignor hereby waives to the extent permitted by Law all rights that Assignor has or may have under and by virtue of the UCC and any federal, state, county or municipal statute, regulation, ordinance, Constitution or charter, now or hereafter existing, similar in effect thereto providing any right of Assignor to notice and to a judicial hearing prior to seizure by Agent of any of the Collateral. Assignor hereby waives and renounces for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, presentment, demand, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by Law or the Loan Documents) and all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption and appraisement now provided or that may hereafter be provided by the Constitution and Laws of the United States and of any state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement of this Assignment and the collection of any of the Obligations.
     12. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loan; Release of Collateral. This Assignment shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and the Lenders have no further obligation to make any advances of the Loan, (b) be binding upon Assignor and its heirs, successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of any obligation of the Lenders to make further advances of the Loan or to issue any Facility Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Assignor. Upon any such termination, Agent will, at Assignor’s expense, execute and deliver to Assignor such documents as Assignor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
     13. Securities Laws and Other Limitations. In view of the position of Assignor in relation to the Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the federal and state securities Laws, the Organizational Agreements, or under any intercreditor agreement, that may now or hereafter be entered into among the Agent and any other bank a party to the Credit Agreement or under any intercreditor agreement, which may now or hereafter be entered into among the Agent and any other party with respect to the Loans or the Collateral (as the same may be modified or amended from time to time, collectively, the “Intercreditor Agreements”) with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder. Assignor understands that compliance with the federal and state securities Laws, the Organizational Agreements, or Intercreditor Agreements might very strictly limit the course of conduct of Agent if Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities Laws. Assignor recognizes that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such

K-10


 

Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof and who are able to satisfy any conditions or requirements set forth in the Organizational Agreements, and the Intercreditor Agreements, and Agent may sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and to such Persons as Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions or requirements. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may, in accordance with federal and state securities Law, the Organizational Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreements, (a) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the federal and state securities Laws (b) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale and (c) sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and in such manner and to such Persons as Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions and requirements. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof at a price that Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached or if all the Collateral were sold at a single sale. Assignor further agrees that any sale or sales by Agent of the Collateral made as provided in this Section 14 shall be commercially reasonable. The provisions of this Section 14 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sells. Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable to Assignor for any loss in the value of any portion of the Collateral by reason of any delay in the sale of the Collateral.
     14. Governing Law; Terms. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES OF ANY JURISDICTION).
     15. Notices. Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Assignment must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served if given in the manner prescribed in the Credit Agreement.
     16. No Unwritten Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
     17. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Assignment. Title or captions of paragraphs hereof are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions hereof. If, for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Assignment shall involve transcending the limited validity presently prescribed by Law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Assignment, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Assignment shall remain operative and in full force and effect. If more than one entity comprises the Assignor, the liability of each such entity shall be joint and several

K-11


 

     18. Modifications, Etc. Assignor hereby consents and agrees that Agent or the Lenders may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent from Assignor, either with or without consideration, surrender any property or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any Person on its behalf or for its account, securing the Obligations; substitute for any Collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind; agree to modification of the terms of the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Loan Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents for any period or to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any guarantor, endorser or any other Person liable with respect to the Obligations; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever; and no such action that Agent or the Lenders shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the Obligations or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Assignor, nor any course of dealing with Assignor or any other person, shall release Assignor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Assignment in any way or afford Assignor any recourse against Agent or any Lender.
     19. Attorney-in-Fact. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Assignment, Agent agrees that Agent will not take any action as attorney-in-fact of Assignor as permitted hereunder unless and until an Event of Default has occurred.
     20. Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Assignment by signing any such counterpart.
