against the Primary Obligor in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. No Violation. The Transactions:

(a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any governmental authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for (i) filings and other actions necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Fund Documents and (ii) filings and other actions necessary to release or subordinate any existing Liens;

(b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation applicable to the Obligors or any order of any governmental authority;

(d) will not violate or result in a default under the Senior Credit Facility,

except in each case (other than clause (d)), such consents, approvals, registrations, filings or other actions the failure of which to obtain or make, or, in the case of clause (b) at any time after the date hereof, to the extent such violations, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.04. Inability to Make Certain Limited Payments. Solely with respect to the February Pension Payment, the April Pension Payment and the May Pension Payment, each Primary Obligor was unable to make such Deferred Pension Payments as of the applicable Effective Date and remains unable to do so as of the date hereof. Solely with respect to the June Pension Payment, each Primary Obligor is unable to make such Deferred Pension Payments as of the applicable Effective Date.

SECTION 3.05. Financial Condition. As of the Agreement Date, the Parent has furnished to the Funds its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (a) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent public accountants, and (b) as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (b) above. As of the Agreement Date, the written projected financial information, dated as of May 29, 2009, delivered by the Obligors (or their advisors) to the CS Pension Fund and their advisors (the “Projections”) was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable by senior management at the time, it being recognized by the Funds and Agent that the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such Projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material. Based on the Projections, as of the Agreement Date, the Obligors do not expect to be able to repay the Deferred Pension Payments on a date earlier than is required by this Agreement.

SECTION 3.06. Covenants. The Obligors have performed all of the conditions precedent specified in Article V that are required to be performed by the Obligors hereunder prior to the date hereof.

ARTICLE IV

Each Fund severally represents and warrants to the Agent and each of the Obligors, as to itself, that:

SECTION 4.01. Authority and Enforceability. The Trustees of such Fund have full power, right and authority to enter into this Agreement in the name of and on behalf of such Fund and to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustees of such Fund and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Fund, enforceable against such Fund in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 4.02. Acknowledgment. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Fund Documents, each Fund acknowledges that no Obligor has made in connection with this Agreement, and is not making in this Agreement or any of the other Fund Documents, any representation or warranty as to the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), risks, results of operations, prospects or any other aspect of the operations of the Obligor or its subsidiaries.

(e) within 30 days after the end of each fiscal month (of each of the first two months in any fiscal quarter) of the Parent, the Parent’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related unaudited statements of operations and cash flows as of the end of and for such fiscal month and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes;

(g) on or before the fifth Business Day of each fiscal month commencing on the fifth Business Day of August 2009, to the extent that the Primary Obligors are providing the 13-Week Cash Flow Projection, a variance report reflecting on a line-item basis the actual disbursements and receipts for the previous calendar month and the percentage variance of such actual results from those projected for such previous calendar month on the most current 13-Week

Cash Flow Projections delivered under the terms of this Agreement prior to such date; provided that, Primary Obligors only shall be obligated to provide such variance report to the Agent and Funds so long as the Parent is required to deliver such variance report to the Senior Administrative Agent.

SECTION 6.03. Financial Advisor. Each Primary Obligor will permit the financial advisor(s) retained by the Funds, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested so long as such inspection does not unduly interfere with such Primary Obligor’s business. Subject to Section 11.01, such reasonable inspections and examinations by or on behalf of any Fund shall be at such Fund’s expense.

SECTION 6.04. Weekly Health and Welfare Payments. So long as Liquidity is greater than $200,000,000, the Obligors shall make weekly payments (estimated to be one week’s payment of health and welfare contributions) in advance of the due date for the payments in respect of the CS Health and Welfare Fund (which payments shall be credited against the actual payment due to the CS Health and Welfare Fund on the due date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such payments shall be made directly to CS Health and Welfare Fund for its own account (and not to the Agent) by the Obligors.

SECTION 6.05. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. The Obligors will, (a) keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of their business in good working order and condition (ordinary wear, tear, condemnation and casualty excepted), except in any case where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (b) maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (i) insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations; provided that each of the Obligors may self-insure to the same extent as other companies in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Obligors operate and (ii) all insurance required pursuant to the Collateral Documents. The Obligors will furnish to the Funds, promptly following the reasonable request of the Agent, on behalf of the Funds, information in reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained. The Obligors shall deliver to the Agent and maintain endorsements to all “All Risk” physical damage insurance policies on all of the Collateral naming the Agent as lender loss payee. In the event that the Obligors at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies or insurance required herein or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then a Fund may, with the prior written consent of the Majority Funds (which shall not be granted if any other Fund has already obtained such insurance or the Obligors have cured the default), without waiving or releasing any obligations or resulting Default hereunder, at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto which such Fund deems advisable (with the prior consent of the Majority Funds) seven (7) days after notification to the Obligors of such intent. All sums so disbursed by the Funds shall constitute part of the Obligations, payable as provided in this Agreement. The Obligors will furnish to the Agent and the Funds prompt written notice of any casualty or other insured damage to any material portion of the Collateral or the commencement of any action or proceeding for the taking of any material portion of the Collateral or interest therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding.

SECTION 6.06. Promissory Note. Promptly following reasonable request from a Fund, the applicable Primary Obligors shall provide such Fund a Promissory Note(s) with respect to the Deferred Pension Payments owed by such Primary Obligor to such Fund.

Negative Covenants

SECTION 7.01. Obligors. Until the Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and payable) hereunder shall have been paid in full, the Primary Obligors covenant and agree with the Agent and the Funds that:

(a) Asset Sales. No Obligor shall consummate any Asset Sale unless such Asset Sale is approved by the Majority Funds; provided, that such approval shall (i) not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and (ii) be deemed automatically granted to the extent the cash consideration received in connection with any such Asset Sale at closing shall be equal to or greater than 100% of the Gross Book Value of the property subject to such Asset Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that multiple assets are being sold in an Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales, the percentage threshold referenced above shall be deemed satisfied so long as the aggregate cash consideration received at the closings of such properties pursuant to such Asset Sale(s) equals or exceeds 100% of the aggregate Gross Book Value of such properties.

(b) No More Favorable Terms. The Obligors shall not (i) provide collateral (other than the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement) securing obligations owed by any Obligor to any Teamster pension fund similarly situated to the Funds (including Teamster pensions funds not a party to this Agreement) or (ii) make payments in respect of pension contributions owed to any Teamster pension fund similarly situated to the Funds to the extent such Teamster pension fund does not execute the Deferral Agreement or a Joinder Agreement (other than payments approved by the Majority Funds (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)).

SECTION 7.02. Funds. Until the Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent obligations not due and owing), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Funds covenant severally and agree with the Obligors that:

(a) Absent the continuance of an Event of Default, such Funds shall not deem any of the Obligations owed to it to be delinquent contributions to which Section 515 of ERISA applies.

(b) Absent the continuance of an Event of Default, neither such Funds, nor any trustee or trustees with respect to such Funds, nor any of their successors, agents or assigns shall bring any action or allow any action under applicable law (including, through enforcement of Section 515 of ERISA or based on liability under Section 412 of the Code) to be brought in its

or their name to seek payment of the Obligations (or any portion thereof) owed to it against any of the Obligors or any of their ERISA Affiliates, nor shall any of these Persons bring any action or otherwise seek to recover any of the remedies under applicable law (including, liquidated damages, penalties and other costs, and those remedies specified in Section 502(g) of ERISA) with respect to the Obligations.

(c) Under no circumstances shall such Funds determine that the deferral of the Obligations owed to them hereunder, (i) constitutes with respect to the Obligors or any of their ERISA Affiliates (x) a complete withdrawal with respect to any Multiemployer Plan under Section 4203 of ERISA, (y) a partial withdrawal with respect to any Multiemployer Plan under Section 4205 of ERISA, or (ii) otherwise subjects the Obligors or any of their ERISA Affiliates to Withdrawal Liability.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights of the Funds to seek relief for delinquent contributions, and to assess and collect Withdrawal Liability, are preserved.

ARTICLE VIII

Events of Default

If any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any Primary Obligor shall fail to pay any payment in respect of any Deferred Payments when and as the same shall become due and payable pursuant to this Agreement, whether at the due date thereof or at a date fixed for prepayment thereof or otherwise (including, prepayments required to be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 2.03) and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days;

(d) any Obligor, as applicable, shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any other Fund Document (other than those specified in clause (a), (b), (c), (e), (f) or (g) or (h) of this Article), and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 consecutive days after written notice thereof from the Agent to the Obligors (which notice will be given at the request of any Fund);

(e) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) bankruptcy, winding up, dissolution, liquidation, administration, moratorium, reorganization or other relief in respect of any Obligor or its debts, or of a

(f) any Obligor shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking bankruptcy, winding up, dissolution (other than any dissolution to the extent the assets of such Obligor are transferred to another Obligor so long as all actions necessary to maintain the perfection of the Agent’s first-priority Lien on First Priority Collateral are taken), liquidation (other than any liquidation, to the extent the assets of such Obligor are transferred to another Obligor so long as all actions necessary to maintain the perfection of the Agent’s first-priority Lien on First Priority Collateral are taken), administration, moratorium, reorganization or other relief under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, administrative receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (e) of this Article, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for any Obligor or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, or (v) make a general assignment or arrangement for the benefit of creditors, or become unable or admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

(h) any Collateral Document shall for any reason to fail to create a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any First Priority Collateral with a Gross Book Value of $2,500,000 in the aggregate at any time or shall for any reason fail to create a valid and perfected second priority security interest in any Second Priority Collateral (if then applicable) with a Gross Book Value of $2,500,000 in the aggregate at any time purported to be covered thereby, in each case except as (i) permitted by the terms hereof or (ii) to extent such non-creation or non-perfection is a result of the action or inaction of the Agent;

then, and in every such Event of Default, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, any Fund, by notice to the Primary Obligors, may: declare the Obligations solely in respect of the Deferred Payments owed to such Fund then outstanding to be due and payable, and thereupon such Obligations so declared to be due and payable, together with all other Obligations accrued hereunder and due to such Fund, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Obligors to the extent permitted by applicable law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall, at the request of the Majority Funds, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Agent under the Fund Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC with respect to the Collateral.

ARTICLE IX

The Agent

Each of the Funds hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions delegated to it hereby on its behalf, including execution of the other Fund Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Fund Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(a) Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,

(b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Fund Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Funds (or such other number or percentage of the Funds as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.04), and

(c) except as expressly set forth in the Fund Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to act hereunder or to advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights hereunder and under any other agreements or documents to which it is a party, and shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its reasonable satisfaction from the Funds of their indemnification obligations against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take or refraining from taking any such action in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. The Agent shall be fully justified in requesting direction from the Majority Funds in the event this Agreement or any other Fund Document is silent or vague with respect to such Agent’s duties, rights or obligations.

Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Funds (or such other number or percentage of the Funds as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.04) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by an Obligor or a Fund, and Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into

(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Fund Document, including without limitation any ERISA matters, issues or obligations that may arise out of the Transactions,

(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith,

(iii) the accuracy or calculation of any amounts of any of the Deferred Pension Payments,

(iv) the performance or observance by the Obligors of any of the covenants hereunder,

(v) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Fund Document or the Senior Credit Facility,

(vi) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Fund Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,

(vii) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral or

(viii) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere in any Fund Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such

sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Funds and the Obligors. Upon any such resignation, the Obligors and the Majority Funds shall jointly appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Obligors and the Majority Funds within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Majority Funds shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time as a successor Agent is appointed; provided, that the retiring Agent shall continue to act as the secured party under the Mortgages until such Mortgages can be transitioned to a substitute secured party designated by the Majority Funds with the consent of the Primary Obligors. The fees payable by the Obligors to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Obligors and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Agent.

Each Fund acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, or any other Fund and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Fund also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Fund, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Fund Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

The Funds are not partners or co-venturers, and all obligations of each Fund under this Agreement are several. No Fund shall be responsible for or in any way liable for the acts or omissions, representations or agreements of, or shall be authorized to act for, any other Fund.

In its capacity, the Agent is a “representative” of the Funds within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. Each Fund authorizes the Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement to which it is a party and to take all actions contemplated by such documents. Each Fund agrees that no Fund shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Agent for the benefit of the Funds upon the terms of the Collateral Documents at the direction of the Majority Funds. If Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, the Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Funds any Fund Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of or for the benefit of the Agent, on behalf of Funds.

The Funds hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, to release any Liens granted to or for the benefit of the Agent by the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries on any Collateral:

(i) upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and payable); or

(ii) that is sold or to be sold concurrently as part of or in connection with any sale permitted under the Fund Documents.

Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Obligors in respect of) all interests retained by the Obligors, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Majority Funds will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Fund Document, or consented to in writing by the Majority Funds or all of the Funds, as applicable, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Funds to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the Funds herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Obligors in respect of) all interests retained by the Obligors, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

Each Fund hereby appoints each other Fund as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Agent and the other Funds, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Fund obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Fund shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 11.03. Remedies. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached.

Neither this Agreement nor any other Fund Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Obligors and the Majority Funds or by the Obligors and the Agent with the consent of the Majority Funds or, in the case of any other Fund Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Obligors that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Majority Funds; provided that no such agreement shall:

(a) increase the outstanding amount of any Deferred Pension Payment or require deferrals of additional pension contribution payments owed to any Fund without the written consent of such Fund;

(b) reduce amount of any Obligations or reduce the rate of interest thereon, without the written consent of each Fund directly affected thereby;

(c) postpone the date of any scheduled payment of any Deferred Pension Payment, or any interest thereon, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Fund affected thereby (it being understood that waiver of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a postponement or waiver of a scheduled payment);

(d) change Section 2.04 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Fund directly affected thereby (except as set forth in Section 2.01);

(e) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Majority Funds” or any other provision of any Fund Document specifying the number or percentage of Funds required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Fund; and

(f) release all or substantially all the Collateral (except as expressly permitted by this Agreement).

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, hereunder or under any other Fund Document without the prior written consent of the Agent.

SECTION 11.05. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all of the covenants and agreements contained herein and rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by or on behalf of any of the Parties hereto, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Parties hereto whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.06. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts (including by means of telecopied or PDF signature pages), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

SECTION 11.08. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The headings and captions used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

SECTION 11.09. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Parties, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 11.10. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

SECTION 11.11. Schedules. All schedules attached hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

SECTION 11.12. Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York

without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of New York shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all schedules and exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

SECTION 11.13. Submission to Jurisdiction; Choice of Forum. Each of the parties submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein and agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Nothing in this Section however shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Party agrees that a final judgment (after giving effect to any timely appeals) in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

SECTION 11.14. Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTION WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER.

SECTION 11.15. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

(b) Notices and other communications by and among the Agent, the Obligors and the Funds hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications, including Adobe PDF by emails and Internet or intranet websites. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor, provided, that if any such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during normal business hours, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

SECTION 11.16. No Strict Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.17. Partial Release of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Funds agrees (and hereby authorize the Agent) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to release Collateral, as selected by the Obligors, in an amount (determined on a Gross Book Value basis) equal to the positive difference between the Gross Book Value of the First Priority Collateral and the outstanding Obligations at any time (each occurrence, a “Release Event”) as certified in writing by the Obligors to the Agent. The Agent shall, at Obligors’ expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Obligors shall reasonably request in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, including financing statement amendments and mortgage releases to evidence such release following the occurrence of a Release Event.

SECTION 11.18. Confidentiality. Each of the Funds and the Agent agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including

accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) in connection with the Transactions, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, including any examiner or auditor in connection with routine examinations or audits conducted pursuant to applicable laws, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prompt notice thereof to the Company), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Fund Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) with the consent of the Primary Obligors or (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Fund on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company (or its Affiliates). For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Obligors (or their Affiliates) relating to the Obligors’ (or their Affiliates’) or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Fund on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Obligors (or their Affiliates).

SECTION 11.19. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Fund and the Agent acknowledge that the Lien and security interest granted to the Agent pursuant to each Collateral Document and that the exercise of any right or remedy by Agent are, in each case, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement in all respects. In the event of a conflict or any inconsistency between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, on the one hand, and any Fund Documents, on the other hand, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control in all respects.

SECTION 11.20. No Effect on Other Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted or is intended as a waiver of or limitation on any rights, powers, privileges or remedies that any Fund has or may have under its respective participation agreement(s) or under applicable law with respect to any contributions or other obligations of any of the Obligors to such Fund, other than the Deferred Pension Payments and any other Obligations.

It is also agreed that if any of the property herein mortgaged is of a nature so that a security interest therein can be perfected under the UCC in effect in the State, this instrument shall constitute a security agreement, fixture filing and financing statement, and Mortgagor agrees to execute, deliver and file or refile, and hereby authorizes Mortgagee and the Funds to prepare and file or refile, without Mortgagor’s consent but with prior notice to Mortgagor, any financing statement, continuation statement, or other instruments Mortgagee or the Funds may reasonably require from time to time to perfect or renew such security interest under the UCC. To the extent permitted by law, (i) all of the Fixtures are or are to become fixtures on the Land and (ii) this instrument, upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office, shall constitute a “fixture-filing” within the meaning of Sections [9-102, 9-501 and 9-502] of the UCC. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Deferral Agreement, the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall be as prescribed herein or by general law, or, as to that part of the security in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC, by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in the UCC, all at Mortgagee’s sole election.

TOGETHER WITH all the estate, right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to: (i) all judgments, insurance proceeds, awards of damages and settlements resulting from condemnation proceedings or the taking of the Real Property, or any part thereof, under the

power of eminent domain or for any damage (whether caused by such taking or otherwise) to the Real Property, or any part thereof, or to any rights appurtenant thereto, and all proceeds of any sales or other dispositions of the Real Property or any part thereof; and (except as otherwise provided herein) Mortgagee is hereby authorized to collect and receive said awards and proceeds and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and to apply the same as provided in the Deferral Agreement; (ii) all contract rights, accounts, general intangibles, actions and rights in action relating to the Real Property, including, without limitation, all rights to insurance proceeds and unearned premiums arising from or relating to damage to the Real Property; (iii) all accounts and payment intangibles arising out of the sales at the wellhead or mine head of oil, gas or other minerals in which Mortgagee had an interest before extraction thereof; and (iv) all proceeds, products, replacements, additions, substitutions, renewals and accessions of and to the Real Property. The rights and interests described in this paragraph are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Intangibles”. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Mortgage, the security interests in and to the Intangibles created hereby and pursuant to the other Fund Documents in favor of Mortgagee (for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Funds), shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the UCC then in effect in the State.

As additional security for the Liabilities secured hereby, Mortgagor (i) does hereby absolutely pledge and assign to Mortgagee, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Funds, from and after the date hereof (including any period of redemption), primarily and on a parity with the Real Property, and not secondarily, all the rents, issues and profits of the Real Property and all rents, issues, profits, revenues, royalties, bonuses, rights and benefits due, payable or accruing (including any letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights supporting obligations, or other credit support for any rents or leases and all deposits of money as advance rent, for security or as earnest money or as down payment for the purchase of all or any part of the Real Property) (collectively, the “Rents”) under any and all present and future leases, subleases, contracts or other agreements to which it is a party as a lessor and relative to its ownership or occupancy of all or any portion of the Real Property (collectively, the “Leases”), and (ii) except to the extent such a transfer or assignment is not permitted by the terms thereof, does hereby transfer and assign to Mortgagee, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Funds, all such Leases (including all of Mortgagor’s rights under any contracts for the sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property and all of Mortgagor’s revenues and royalties under any oil, gas and mineral leases relating to the Real Property or accruing to it). Mortgagee hereby licenses to Mortgagor, until an Event of Default (as defined in the Deferral Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, the right to collect and use the Rents as they become due and payable under the Leases, but not more than one month in advance thereof (unless otherwise required by the terms of any such related agreement), provided that the existence of such right shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment, in whole or in part, by Mortgagor, and any such subsequent assignment shall be subject to the rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further agrees to execute and deliver such assignments of Leases (including land sale contracts or other agreements) as Mortgagee or the Funds may from time to time reasonably request (which contracts or other agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee and the Funds). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (1) Mortgagor agrees, upon receipt of written demand from Mortgagee, to deliver to Mortgagee all of the Leases with such additional assignments thereof as Mortgagee may request, and agrees that Mortgagee may assume (or cause a receiver to be

appointed to assume) the management of the Real Property and collect the Rents, applying the same upon the Liabilities in the manner provided in the Deferral Agreement, and (2) Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs all tenants, purchasers or other Persons occupying or otherwise acquiring any interest in any part of the Real Property to pay the Rents due under the Leases to Mortgagee upon request of Mortgagee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney in fact to manage (or cause a receiver to be appointed to manage) said property and collect the Rents, with full power to bring suit for collection of the Rents and possession of the Real Property, giving and granting unto said Mortgagee and unto its agents and attorneys full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite and necessary to be done in the protection of the security hereby conveyed; provided, however, that (a) this power of attorney and assignment of rents shall not be construed as an obligation upon said Mortgagee to make or cause to be made any repairs that may be needful or necessary, and (b) Mortgagee agrees that unless such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as aforesaid, Mortgagee shall permit Mortgagor to perform the aforementioned management responsibilities. Upon Mortgagee’s receipt of the Rents, at Mortgagee’s option, it may use the proceeds of the Rents to pay: (x) charges for collection thereof or hereunder, costs of necessary repairs and other costs requisite and necessary during the continuance of this power of attorney and assignment of rents; (y) general and special taxes and insurance premiums and deductibles; and (z) any or all of the Liabilities pursuant to the provisions of the Deferral Agreement. This power of attorney and assignment of rents shall be irrevocable until this Mortgage shall have been satisfied and released, and the releasing of this Mortgage shall act as a revocation of this power of attorney and assignment of rents. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have and hereby expressly reserves the right and privilege (but assumes no obligation) to demand, collect, sue for, receive and recover the Rents, or any part thereof, now existing or hereafter made, and apply the same in accordance with the provisions of the Deferral Agreement.

All of the property described above, and each item of property therein described, not limited to but including the Land, the Premises, the Property Rights, the Fixtures, the Real Property, the Intangibles, the Rents and the Leases, and all profits and proceeds therefrom and all replacements thereof, are herein collectively referred to as the “Mortgaged Property”.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Mortgagee a mortgagee-in-possession in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall be construed as imposing on Mortgagee any of the obligations of the lessor under any Lease of the Mortgaged Property in the absence of an explicit written assumption thereof (on a case-by-case basis) by Mortgagee. In the exercise of the powers herein granted Mortgagee, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Mortgagee, all such liability being hereby expressly waived and released by Mortgagor (on behalf of itself and all Persons now or hereafter claiming by or through Mortgagor).

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Mortgaged Property, properties, rights and privileges hereby conveyed or assigned, or intended so to be, unto Mortgagee, its beneficiaries (including the Funds), successors and permitted assigns, forever for the uses and purposes herein set forth. Mortgagor (on behalf of itself and all Persons now or hereafter claiming by, through or under Mortgagor) hereby releases and waives all rights under and by virtue of the homestead exemption laws, if any, of the State, and Mortgagor hereby covenants, represents and warrants

that, at the time of the ensealing and delivery of these presents, Mortgagor is well seised of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and with full legal and equitable title to the Mortgaged Property, with full power and lawful authority to assign, bargain, sell, pledge, grant, remise, release, alien, convey, hypothecate, mortgage and warrant to Mortgagee and its successors and assigns the Mortgaged Property as set forth herein, and that the title to the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all Liens and other encumbrances, except for the Permitted Liens. Mortgagor shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the lien of this Mortgage and shall forever warrant and defend the same, subject to the Permitted Liens, to Mortgagee and its successors and permitted assigns against the claims of all Persons claiming by, through or under Mortgagor.

The following provisions shall also constitute an integral part of this Mortgage:

1. Payment of Taxes on the Mortgage. Without limiting any of the provisions of the Deferral Agreement, Mortgagor agrees that, if the United States or any department, agency or bureau thereof or if the State or any of its subdivisions having jurisdiction shall at any time require documentary stamps to be affixed to this Mortgage or shall levy, assess, or charge any tax, assessment or imposition upon this Mortgage or the credit or indebtedness secured hereby or the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property or upon Mortgagee by reason of or as holder of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any tax, interest or penalty arising in connection with the recordation of this Mortgage or the imposition of documentary stamps or taxes, intangibles taxes or the like, including those required to be paid because of future advances or financial accommodations or an increase in the amount of the Liabilities secured hereby, then, Mortgagor shall pay for such documentary stamps in the required amount and deliver them to Mortgagee or pay (or reimburse Mortgagee for) such taxes, assessments or impositions. Mortgagor agrees to provide to Mortgagee, within ten (10) business days after any such taxes, assessments or impositions become due and payable, and at any other times upon request from Mortgagee, copies of official receipts showing payment of all such taxes, assessments and charges which Mortgagor pays hereunder. Mortgagor agrees to indemnify Mortgagee against liability on account of such documentary stamps, taxes, assessments or impositions, whether such liability arises before or after payment of the Liabilities and regardless of whether this Mortgage shall have been released.

2. Leases Affecting the Real Property. Mortgagor agrees faithfully to perform all of its obligations under all present and future Leases at any time assigned to Mortgagee as additional security, and to refrain from any action or inaction which would result in termination of any such Leases or in the material diminution of the value thereof or of the Rents due thereunder. All future Leases made after the effective date of this Mortgage shall include provisions requiring the lessees thereunder, at Mortgagee’s option and without any further documentation, to attorn to Mortgagee as lessor if for any reason Mortgagee becomes lessor thereunder, and to pay rent to Mortgagee during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon demand, and Mortgagee shall not be responsible under such Lease for matters arising prior to Mortgagee becoming lessor thereunder.

3. Use of the Real Property. Mortgagor agrees that it shall not permit the public to use the Real Property in any manner that might tend, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, adversely to impair Mortgagor’s title to such property or any portion thereof or to

make possible any claim or claims of easement by prescription or of implied dedication to public use other than the Permitted Liens. Mortgagor shall not use or knowingly permit the use of any part of the Real Property for an illegal purpose, including, without limitation, the violation of any Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined). Moreover, Mortgagor shall duly and punctually observe and perform each and every material term, provision, condition, and covenant to be observed or performed by Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument (including all instruments comprising the Permitted Liens) affecting or pertaining to the Mortgaged Property, except where failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” as used in this Mortgage means any and all federal, state and local statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, orders, decrees, permits, concessions, grants, franchises, licenses, agreements or governmental restrictions relating to pollution and the protection of the environment or the release of any materials into the environment, including those related to hazardous substances or wastes, air emissions and discharges to waste or public systems.

4. Indemnification. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that any obligations and liabilities of Mortgagor arising under this Mortgage shall be deemed to constitute both (1) Obligations under the Deferral Agreement, and (2) Liabilities under this Mortgage. Without limiting any indemnification that Mortgagor, Obligors or Guarantors have granted in the Deferral Agreement, the Guarantee, or any of the other Fund Documents, Mortgagor hereby agrees, without duplication, to indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee, all Funds, and any of their respective Affiliates (for purposes of this Section 4, collectively, the “Indemnitees” and each individually, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses (including attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees, other professionals’ fees, court costs and disbursements) which may be imposed on, incurred or paid by or asserted against either the Mortgaged Property or any of the Indemnitees by reason or on account of or in connection with (i) the construction, reconstruction or alteration of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Obligor, Mortgagor, any Guarantor, any lessee of the Mortgaged Property, or any of their respective agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees, or (iii) to the fullest extent permissible in accordance with applicable laws, any accident, injury, death or damage to any Person or property occurring in, on or about the Mortgaged Property to the extent the same was not caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any particular Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or breach by such Indemnitee, or claims brought by any Indemnitee against any one or more other Indemnitees; provided further that no such gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or breach by any one or more of the Indemnitees shall be deemed to void, reduce, limit, impair or otherwise affect the indemnification provided for hereunder respecting any and/or all of the other Indemnitees which are not deemed by said court to be responsible for such gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or breach, and all Indemnitees not held by said court to be responsible for same shall be entitled to the full scope of the indemnification contemplated hereunder as if such gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or breach by one or more of the Indemnitees which are deemed to be responsible by said court for same did not exist.

5. Insurance and Impositions.

(a) Mortgagor shall, at its sole expense, obtain for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Mortgagee and all Funds, until the Liabilities are paid in full: (1) all insurance policies as required pursuant to Section 6.05 of the Deferral Agreement; and (2) flood insurance, if (i) the surveyor preparing the survey of the Mortgaged Property (or a standard flood hazard determination certificate issued by a flood hazard certification firm acceptable to Mortgagee and the Funds) determines that all or any portion of the improved Real Property is situated within a special hazard flood area, as designated by the applicable Governmental Authority (as defined below), and (ii) such flood insurance is then required by the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 et. seq. (as amended, the “Flood Act”), or by other applicable laws, rules or regulations, or by Mortgagee in accordance with Mortgagee’s standard policies and practices. If any flood insurance is required to be obtained in accordance with the preceding sentence, then Mortgagor shall, at its sole expense: (I) purchase flood insurance covering the Mortgaged Property in such amounts as may be required or otherwise specified by the Flood Act or by Mortgagee and the Funds (whichever stipulated amount may be greater); and (II) take any and all other actions as Mortgagee and the Funds may deem necessary or desirable to comply with the Flood Act, other applicable laws and/or Mortgagee’s standard policies and practices. In the event of any casualty loss affecting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, the net insurance proceeds from any insurance policies covering the Mortgaged Property shall be collected, paid and applied as specified in the Deferral Agreement, or if not so specified, such proceeds shall be paid over and remitted to Mortgagor. The term “Governmental Authority” as used in this Mortgage means the government of the United States or any other nation, or of any political subdivision thereof, whether provincial, state or local, and any agency, authority, instrumentality, regulatory body, court, central bank or other entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, taxing, regulatory or administrative powers or functions of or pertaining to government.

(b) Mortgagor shall promptly cause to be paid all impositions of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and deductibles that if not paid, could result in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Impositions”) now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where: (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) Mortgagor has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. If requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee or its designee receipts for the payment of the Impositions.

6. Condemnation Awards. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee, as additional security, all awards of damage resulting from condemnation proceedings or the taking of or injury to the Mortgaged Property for public use, and Mortgagor agrees that the proceeds of all such awards shall be collected, paid and applied as specified in the Deferral Agreement.

7. Event of Default and Remedies. The term “Event of Default” as used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term pursuant to the Deferral Agreement. Subject to the provisions of the Deferral Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies provided for in the Deferral

Agreement, the Guarantee and/or any of the other Fund Documents, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the following provisions of this Section 7 shall apply, in each case at the direction of the Majority Funds:

(a) Mortgagee’s Power of Enforcement. It shall be lawful for Mortgagee to (i) immediately sell the Mortgaged Property either in whole or in separate parcels, as prescribed by the State law, under power of sale, which power is hereby granted to Mortgagee to the full extent permitted by the State law, and thereupon, to make and execute to any purchaser(s) thereof deeds of conveyance pursuant to applicable law or (ii) immediately foreclose this Mortgage by judicial action. The court in which any proceeding is pending for the purpose of foreclosure or enforcement of this Mortgage, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, may, at once or at any time thereafter, either before or after sale, and to the extent permitted by law without notice, and without requiring bond, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of any Person liable for payment of the Liabilities secured hereby, and without regard to the then value of the Mortgaged Property or the occupancy thereof as a homestead, appoint a receiver (the provisions for the appointment of a receiver and assignment of rents being an express condition upon which the Payment Deferral is made) for the benefit of Mortgagee and the Funds, with power to collect the Rents, due and to become due, during such foreclosure or enforcement suit and the full statutory period of redemption notwithstanding any redemption. The receiver, out of the Rents when collected, may pay costs incurred in the management and operation of the Mortgaged Property, prior and subordinate liens, if any, and taxes, assessments, water and other utilities and insurance, then due or thereafter accruing, and may make and pay for any necessary repairs to any and all portion(s) of the Mortgaged Property, and may pay all or any part of the Liabilities or other sums secured hereby or any deficiency decree entered in such foreclosure or enforcement proceedings. Upon or at any time after the filing of a suit to foreclose or enforce this Mortgage, the court in which such suit is filed shall have full power to enter an order placing Mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property with the same power granted to a receiver pursuant to this subparagraph and with all other rights and privileges of a mortgagee-in-possession under applicable law.

(b) Mortgagee’s Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income. Mortgagee and the Funds shall, at their option, have the right, acting through their agents or attorneys, either with or without process of law, forcibly or otherwise, to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, expel and remove any Persons, goods, or chattels occupying or upon the same, to the extent permitted under applicable laws, to collect or receive all the Rents, and to manage and control the same, and to lease the same or any part thereof, from time to time, and, after deducting all attorneys’ fees and expenses, and all expenses incurred in the protection, care, maintenance, management and operation of the Mortgaged Property, distribute and apply the remaining net income in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Agreement or upon any deficiency decree entered in any foreclosure proceedings.

(c) Rights Under the UCC. Mortgagee may exercise its rights of enforcement and remedies available to it pursuant to the UCC.

(d) Rights in Connection with Bankruptcy. If the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy estate or subject to any state or federal insolvency proceeding, or in the event of the filing of any voluntary or

involuntary petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Bankruptcy Code”) by or against Mortgagor, any Obligor, or any Guarantor, then Mortgagee shall immediately become entitled, in addition to all other relief to which Mortgagee may be entitled under this Mortgage, the other Fund Documents, at law or in equity, to obtain (i) an order from any bankruptcy court or other appropriate court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar successor provisions under the Bankruptcy Code) so as to permit Mortgagee to pursue its rights and remedies against Mortgagor as provided under this Mortgage, the other Fund Documents and all other rights and remedies of Mortgagee at law and in equity under applicable State laws, and (ii) an order from the bankruptcy court prohibiting Mortgagor’s use of all “cash collateral” as defined under § 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar successor provisions under the Bankruptcy Code). Mortgagor shall not assert, or request any other Person to assert, that the automatic stay under § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar successor provisions under the Bankruptcy Code) operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Mortgagee to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Mortgage, or any other rights that Mortgagee has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against any obligor or guarantor of the Liabilities (including, without limitation, any Guarantor). Mortgagor shall not seek a supplemental stay or any other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to § 105 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar successor provisions under the Bankruptcy Code) or any other provision therein to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Mortgagee to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Mortgage against any obligor or guarantor of the Liabilities (including, without limitation, any Guarantor). Any bankruptcy petition or other action taken by Mortgagor to stay, condition, or inhibit Mortgagee from exercising its remedies are hereby admitted by Mortgagor to be in bad faith and Mortgagor further admits that Mortgagee would have just cause for relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized under State law. Mortgagor covenants to give prompt written notice to Mortgagee of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing (whether voluntary or involuntary) of Mortgagor, or the death, insolvency or bankruptcy filing (whether voluntary or involuntary) of any Obligor, or any Guarantor.

8. Application of the Rents or Proceeds from Foreclosure or Sale. In any foreclosure of this Mortgage by judicial action, or any sale of all or any portion(s) of the Mortgaged Property by advertisement, in addition to any of the terms and provisions of the Deferral Agreement and this Mortgage, there shall be allowed (and included in the decree for sale in the event of a foreclosure by judicial action) to be paid out of the Rents or the proceeds of such foreclosure proceeding and/or sale:

(a) Liabilities. All of the Liabilities which then remain unpaid;

(b) Other Advances. All other items advanced or paid by Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage; and

(c) Costs, Fees and Other Expenses. All court costs, attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees, and other professionals’ fees and expenses, appraiser’s fees, advertising costs, filing fees and transfer taxes, notice expenses, expenditures for documentary and expert evidence, stenographer’s charges, publication costs, other court costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all abstracts of title,

title searches and examinations, title guarantees, title insurance policies, Torrens certificates and similar data with respect to title which Mortgagee in the exercise of its judgment may deem necessary. All such expenses shall become additional Liabilities secured hereby when paid or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any proceedings, including, but not limited to, probate and bankruptcy proceedings or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to which Mortgagee shall be a party, either as plaintiff, claimant or defendant, by reason of this Mortgage or any indebtedness hereby secured or in connection with the preparations for the commencement of any suit for the foreclosure, whether or not actually commenced, or sale by advertisement. The proceeds of any sale (whether through a foreclosure proceeding or Mortgagee’s exercise of the power of sale) shall be distributed and applied in accordance with the terms of Section 2.04 of the Deferral Agreement.

9. Right to Perform Mortgagor’s Covenants; Cumulative Remedies; Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

(a) If Mortgagor has failed to keep or perform any covenant whatsoever contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) perform or attempt to perform said covenant; and any payment made or expense incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee in the performance or attempted performance of any such covenant, together with any sum expended by or on behalf of Mortgagee that is chargeable to Mortgagor or subject to reimbursement by Mortgagor under the Fund Documents, shall be and become a part of the Liabilities, and Mortgagor promises to pay to Mortgagee, within ten (10) business days after Mortgagee’s written demand therefor (whether such demand occurs prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to such time that Obligors may be obligated to repay the Obligations secured hereby pursuant to the other Fund Documents) and Mortgagor’s receipt of reasonably detailed evidence of such payments, all sums so incurred, paid or expended by or on behalf of Mortgagee, with interest from the date paid, incurred or expended by or on behalf of Mortgagee, at the applicable interest rate then specified by the Fund Documents.

(b) Each remedy or right of Mortgagee shall not be exclusive of but shall be in addition to every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing pursuant to this Mortgage, the Deferral Agreement, the other Fund Documents, at law or in equity. No delay in the exercise or omission to exercise any remedy or right accruing on the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein, or rights with respect to any other Event of Default, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or different nature. Every such remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently and when and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Fund Documents, at law or in equity, and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Liabilities, the Fund Documents, the Mortgaged Property or otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

10. Mortgagee’s Remedies Against Multiple Parcels. Without limitation of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 26 below, if more than one property, lot, parcel or Lease

is covered by this Mortgage, and if this Mortgage is foreclosed upon, or judgment is entered upon any Liabilities secured hereby, or if Mortgagee exercises its power of sale, execution may be made upon, or Mortgagee may exercise its power of sale against, any one or more of the properties, lots, parcels or Leases and not upon the others, or upon all of such properties or parcels, either together or separately, and at different times or at the same time, and execution sales or sales by advertisement may likewise be conducted separately or concurrently, in each case at Mortgagee’s election.

11. No Merger. In the event of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or any other mortgage, deed of trust or deeds to secure debt securing the Liabilities, the Liabilities then due Mortgagee shall not be merged into any decree of foreclosure entered by the court, and Mortgagee may concurrently or subsequently seek to foreclose one or more mortgages, deeds of trust, or deeds to secure debt which also secure said Liabilities.

12. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Mortgage shall be sent (and deemed received) in the manner and to the addresses set forth in Section 11.15 of the Deferral Agreement, and to Mortgagor at the address set forth above. Any such notice delivered to Mortgagor shall be deemed, for all intents and purposes of the Fund Documents, to have also been delivered to Obligors and any Guarantor, and any such notice delivered to any Obligor pursuant to the Deferral Agreement shall be deemed, for all intents and purposes of the Fund Documents, to have also been delivered to Mortgagor and any Guarantor.

13. Extension of Payments. Mortgagor agrees that, without affecting the liability of any Person for payment of the Liabilities secured hereby or affecting the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (other than Persons or property explicitly released as a result of the exercise by Mortgagee of its rights and privileges hereunder), Mortgagee may at any time and from time to time, on request of Mortgagor, any Obligor or any Guarantor, without notice to any Person liable for payment of any Liabilities secured hereby, but otherwise subject to the provisions of the Deferral Agreement, extend the time, or agree to alter or amend the terms of payment of such Liabilities. Mortgagor further agrees that any part of the security herein described may be released by Mortgagee at its election (subject to the terms of the Deferral Agreement) with or without consideration without affecting the remainder of the Liabilities or the remainder of the security.

14. Governing Law. Except where the law of the State is expressly referenced in this Mortgage (including in Sections 19 and 27 hereof), this Mortgage and all obligations secured hereby are governed by and to be construed in accordance with the internal laws, but otherwise without regard to the conflict of laws provisions, of the State of New York. The parties stipulate and agree that the State of New York has a substantial relationship to the underlying transactions related to this Mortgage and the parties involved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties stipulate and agree that State law governs issues of lien creation and priority and the procedures for enforcing, in the State, provisional remedies directly related to the real property encumbered hereby, including, without limitation, appointment of a receiver. Wherever possible, each provision of this Mortgage shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Mortgage shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Mortgage.

15. Satisfaction of Mortgage. Upon the full, indefeasible payment of all the Liabilities (other than contingent indemnity obligations), at the time and in the manner provided in the Deferral Agreement or other Fund Document, or upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Deferral Agreement for release of the Mortgaged Property from this Mortgage under Article 9 thereof, the conveyance or lien created by this Mortgage shall terminate and, upon demand therefor following such payment or satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Deferral Agreement for release of the Mortgaged Property, as the case may be, a satisfaction of mortgage or reconveyance of the Mortgaged Property shall promptly be provided by Mortgagee to Mortgagor.

16. Successors and Assigns Included in Parties. This Mortgage shall be binding upon Mortgagor and upon the successors, assigns and vendees of Mortgagor and the assigns, vendees and other transferees of the Mortgaged Property and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee’s successors and permitted assigns (for their own benefit and for the benefit of the Funds and their respective successors and permitted assigns); all references herein to Mortgagor and to Mortgagee shall be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns or permitted assigns, as the case may be. Mortgagor’s successors and assigns shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor in possession of or for Mortgagor.

18. Interpretation with Other Documents; Mortgagee’s Sole Discretion. The terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall be construed to the extent possible consistently with those of the Deferral Agreement as being in addition to and supplementing the provisions of the Deferral Agreement and the other Fund Documents; however, notwithstanding anything in this Mortgage to the contrary, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Mortgage and the Deferral Agreement, the provisions of the Deferral Agreement shall govern and control, except to the extent that the terms and conditions in question are provided for more stringently within this Mortgage than as are set forth in the Deferral Agreement (such as, by means of example and without limitation, the flood insurance and related requirements and obligations that are set forth in Section 5 hereof), it being the intention of Mortgagor and Mortgagee, for all intents and purposes of the Fund Documents, that the most stringent terms and conditions prospectively at issue shall govern and control. Whenever pursuant to this Mortgage or the other Fund Documents Mortgagee or the Funds exercise any right given to them to elect, consent, approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Mortgagee and the Funds or determined in the judgment of Mortgagee and the Funds, the decision of Mortgagee or the Funds to elect, consent, approve or disapprove, or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, shall be in the sole good faith discretion of Mortgagee or the Funds and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided elsewhere herein or in the Deferral Agreement.

19. Security. This Mortgage shall secure not only presently existing obligations under the Deferral Agreement and the other Fund Documents (including, without limitation, the Guarantee), but also future financial accommodations that constitute Obligations under the Deferral Agreement (whether such accommodations are obligatory or are to be made at the option of Mortgagee, or otherwise), to the same extent and with the same priority as if such future accommodations were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage, and without regard as to whether or not there is any indebtedness outstanding at the effective date of this Mortgage or at the date any such accommodation is made. [IF IN A MORTGAGE TAX STATE OR A STATE WHERE IT IS CUSTOMARY TO INSERT A MULTIPLE OF

THE INDEBTEDNESS AS THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL INDEBTEDNESS: Subject to the limitations upon the maximum amount secured hereby, this Mortgage secures all present and future Obligations under the Deferral Agreement, and all other sums from time to time owing to the Funds by Obligors and/or Mortgagor under the Fund Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Mortgage to the contrary, the maximum principal amount which may be secured hereby at any one time is [ ] Dollars ($[ ]), plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made by Mortgagee for the payment of taxes, special assessments, or insurance on the Mortgaged Property, with interest on such disbursements; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall apply only to the maximum amount of the lien created by this Mortgage, and it shall not in any manner limit, affect or impair any grant of a security interest or other right in favor of Mortgagee or the Funds under the provisions of the Deferral Agreement or under any of the other Fund Documents at any time executed by Obligors or Mortgagor or any Guarantor.] [OR] [This Mortgage secures all present and future Obligations under the Deferral Agreement, and all other sums from time to time owing to the Funds by Obligors and/or Mortgagor under the Fund Documents.] To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the lien of this Mortgage, as to all such sums so owed, shall have priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens (excepting solely taxes and assessments levied on the Mortgaged Property secured by this Mortgage).

20. Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. In the event that any of the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained in this Mortgage shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained herein or in the Deferral Agreement shall not be in any way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby. In the event that the application of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions of this Mortgage is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, those covenants, agreements, terms and provisions shall not be in any way affected, prejudiced or disturbed when otherwise applied.

21. Changes. Neither this Mortgage nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, or by any action or inaction, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. To the extent permitted by law, any agreement hereafter made by Obligors and/or Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.

22. Time of the Essence. Mortgagor shall pay the Liabilities at the time and in the manner provided in the Deferral Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Fund Documents. Mortgagor will duly and punctually perform all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Deferral Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Fund Documents, all of which covenants, conditions and agreements are hereby made a part of this Mortgage to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Mortgage.

23. Headings For Convenience Only; No Strict Construction. The headings and captions of various sections of this Mortgage are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions

hereof. Mortgagor and Mortgagee, with the assistance of their respective legal counsel, have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Mortgage. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Mortgage shall be construed as if drafted jointly by Mortgagor and Mortgagee and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Mortgage.

24. Transfer or Encumbrance of the Mortgaged Property.

(a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of Mortgagor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property in agreeing to make the Payment Deferral, and that Mortgagee will continue to rely on Mortgagor’s ownership of the Mortgaged Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for repayment of the Liabilities. Except as expressly permitted pursuant to Subsection 24(c) below (if and as applicable), Mortgagor shall not cause or suffer to occur or exist, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, any sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) (collectively, “Transfers”) of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.

(b) Mortgagee’s written consent to any Transfer of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in Mortgagor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Mortgagee’s right to require such consent to any future occurrence of same. Any attempted or purported Transfer of the Mortgaged Property or of any direct or indirect interest in Mortgagor, if made in contravention of this Section 24, shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything set forth in this Section 24 to the contrary, Mortgagor may (i) consummate any Asset Sale, which may include the Transfer of the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) or any interest in Mortgagor, to the extent permitted under, and subject to the applicable terms, conditions and limitations of, Section 7.01 of the Deferral Agreement, and (ii) merge into or amalgamate or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any other Person to merge into or amalgamate or consolidate with it, so long as the surviving entity assumes or remains liable for the Liabilities to the same extent Mortgagor was liable for the Liabilities immediately prior to such merger, amalgamation or consolidation.

25. Mortgagor’s Covenants, Representations and Warranties; Survival of Obligations, Covenants, Representations and Warranties; Covenants Running with the Land.

(a)

Mortgagor hereby covenants, represents and warrants that:

(i) Mortgagor is duly authorized to make and enter into this Mortgage and to carry out the transactions contemplated herein;

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage by Mortgagor (A) are within its corporate or equivalent power and authority and (B) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or equivalent action; this Mortgage has been duly executed and delivered by Mortgagor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Mortgagor, enforceable against Mortgagor in accordance with its terms, subject, however, to bankruptcy and other law, decisional or statutory, of general

application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and to the fact that the availability of the remedy of specific performance or of injunctive relief in equity is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

(iii) To the knowledge of Mortgagor, Mortgagor is not now in default (beyond any applicable cure period) under any material instruments or obligations relating to the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor has not received any written notice from any Person asserting any claim of default against Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property;

(iv) To the knowledge of Mortgagor, the execution and performance of this Mortgage and the consummation of the transactions hereby contemplated will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, the Senior Credit Facility (as defined in the Deferral Agreement);

(v) There are no actions, investigations, suits or proceedings (including, without limitation, any condemnation or bankruptcy proceedings) pending or, to the knowledge of Mortgagor, overtly threatened in writing against or affecting Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property, or which, if adversely determined against Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property, may be reasonably expected to adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Mortgage, at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority; Mortgagor is not in violation (beyond any applicable cure period) with respect to any writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or any Governmental Authority affecting the Mortgaged Property;

(vi) To the knowledge of Mortgagor and except where the necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and, to the extent applicable, Mortgagor or such Obligor shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP, the Mortgaged Property presently complies with, and will continue to comply with, all applicable restrictive covenants and applicable zoning and subdivision ordinances, building codes and other applicable laws, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and

(vii) To the knowledge of Mortgagor, Mortgagor owns, is licensed, or otherwise has the right to use or is in possession of all licenses, permits and required approvals or authorizations from all necessary Governmental Authorities, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, franchises, authorizations and other rights that are necessary for its operations on the Mortgaged Property, without conflict with the rights of any other Person with respect thereto, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each and all of the covenants, obligations, representations and warranties of Mortgagor shall survive the execution and delivery of the Fund Documents and the transfer or assignment of this Mortgage (including, without limitation, any Transfer and/or any transfer or assignment by Mortgagee of any of its rights, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to any Person, whether or not affiliated with Mortgagee).

(c) All covenants, conditions, warranties, representations and other obligations contained in this Mortgage and the other Fund Documents are intended by Mortgagor and Mortgagee to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property until the lien of this Mortgage has been fully released by Mortgagee, pursuant to the terms hereof.

26. Contemporaneous Security Instruments. THIS MORTGAGE IS MADE IN ADDITION TO OTHER SECURITY INSTRUMENTS GIVEN BY MORTGAGOR, OBLIGORS AND THEIR AFFILIATES TO SECURE THE OBLIGATIONS (collectively, the “Other Security Instruments”), WHICH OTHER SECURITY INSTRUMENTS COVER PROPERTIES LOCATED IN VARIOUS STATES AND COMMONWEALTHS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OTHER COUNTRIES. The Other Security Instruments further secure the obligations of Obligors, Mortgagor and any Guarantor under the Fund Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and subject to the terms of each applicable agreement or instrument, Mortgagee may proceed under this Mortgage and/or any one or more of the Other Security Instruments against any of the other property secured thereby and/or the Mortgaged Property, in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee shall elect. MORTGAGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND WHETHER NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE, ANY RIGHT TO HAVE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY AND/OR ANY SUCH OTHER PROPERTY SECURED BY THE OTHER SECURITY INSTRUMENTS, MARSHALLED UPON ANY FORECLOSURE OF THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY OF THE OTHER SECURITY INSTRUMENTS. For the avoidance of doubt, Mortgagee shall not be responsible for the perfection of this Mortgage and the lien and security interest intended to be created hereby nor the filing, form, content or renewal of this Mortgage, any Other Security Instruments, or any other instruments in addition or supplemental thereto.

27. State Specific Provisions. The terms and provisions set forth below in this Section 27 shall be construed, to the greatest extent possible, consistently with those set forth elsewhere in this Mortgage as being in addition to and supplementing such other terms and provisions set forth elsewhere in this Mortgage; however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Mortgage, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Section 27 and the terms and provisions set forth elsewhere in this Mortgage, the following terms and provisions of this Section 27 shall govern and control:

WHEREAS, each Guarantor has agreed to guaranty the Obligations (as defined in the Contribution Deferral Agreement) of the Primary Obligors; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the deferral of the Deferred Pension Payments under the Contribution Deferral Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Funds to defer the receipt of payment of the Deferred Pension Payments, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Funds as follows:

ARTICLE I

Section 1.1 Defined Terms.

(a) “Guaranteed Obligations” means the due and punctual payment of (a) all Deferred Pension Payments and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Deferred Pension Payments when and as due, whether at

maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (b) all Obligations of the Primary Obligors under the Fund Documents and (c) all other reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Agent, Agent’s sub-agents and counsel) and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of each Fund and the Agent under this Non-Recourse Guaranty, the Contribution Deferral Agreement, and the other Fund Documents.

Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(f), each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that, subject to Section 2.2 its obligations under this Section 2.1 shall not be discharged until payment in cash, in full, of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and owing) has occurred and this Non-Recourse Guaranty has been terminated, and that its obligations under this Section 2.1 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

(i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Non-Recourse Guaranty, the Contribution Deferral Agreement, any other Fund Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which an Obligor is or may become a party;

(ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Non-Recourse Guaranty (including this Section 2.1), the Contribution Deferral Agreement or any other Fund Document or the waiver or consent by the Funds and/or the Agent with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Funds and/or the Agent in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(iv) the insolvency of any Obligor; or

(v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment or performance).

Each Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Agent or the Funds to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Obligor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Guarantor. It is agreed among each Guarantor, the Agent and the Funds that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Non-Recourse Guaranty and the other Fund Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 2.1 and such waivers, the Agent and the Funds would decline to enter into the Contribution Deferral Agreement or any other Fund Document.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of this 2J_ are for the benefit of the Agent and the Funds and their respective permitted successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Guarantor and the Agent or the Funds, the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Non-Recourse Guaranty or any other Fund Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this NonRecourse Guaranty or in any other Fund Document, except as set forth in clause (g) of this Section 2.1, until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and owing), each Guarantor hereby agrees not to exercise any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this clause (d) is intended to benefit the Agent and the Funds and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 2.1, and that the Agent and the Funds and their respective permitted successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this clause (d) of this Section 2.1.

(e) If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Agent or the Funds would, absent appropriate waivers, forfeit any of their rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Primary Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by the Agent or the Funds and waives any claim or defense based upon such action, even if such action by the Agent or the Funds shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by the Agent or the Funds. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Agent or the Funds to seek a deficiency judgment against any Guarantor or any Primary Obligor shall not impair any other Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Non-Recourse Guaranty to the contrary, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, under this Non-Recourse Guaranty:

(i) no recourse shall be had for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Guarantor in its individual capacity or any of its trustees, members, managers, officers or directors, other than in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s security interest in and lien upon the Collateral such Guarantor provided to secure the Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) Agent shall not have recourse for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to any assets of any Guarantor other than the Collateral such Guarantor provided to secure the Guaranteed Obligations; and

(iii) no Guarantor shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent of the Collateral owned by such Guarantor.

(g) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Section 2.1 of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount that such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and termination of this Non-Recourse Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Guarantor under this Section 2.1 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. This clause (g) of this Section 2.1 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors and nothing set forth in this clause (g) of this Section 2.1 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Non-Recourse Guaranty, including clause (a) of this Section 2.1. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Obligors under this clause (g) of this Section 2.1 shall be exercisable only upon the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 2.1 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each other Guarantor to the Funds and the Agent under this Non-Recourse Guaranty and the other Fund Documents to which such Guarantor is a party or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or obligation of the other Guarantor, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Agent and each of the Funds that:

(a) Organization; Powers. Such Guarantor (a) is organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent that such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation as applicable, and (b) has all corporate or organizational requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted.

(b) Authorization; Enforceability. The guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder are within such Guarantor’s corporate or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, stockholder or shareholder action. Such Guarantor has all requisite corporate or organizational power to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Non-Recourse Guaranty. Each Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this Non-Recourse Guaranty. This Non-Recourse Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1 Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this NonRecourse Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except as set forth in Section 11.03 of the Contribution Deferral Agreement.

Section 4.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Agent, any Fund or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.14 of the Contribution Deferral Agreement; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to an Obligor’s notice address set forth in Section 11.14 of the Contribution Deferral Agreement.

Section 4.3 Successors and Assigns. This Non-Recourse Guaranty shall be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent, the Funds and their permitted successors and assigns under the Contribution Deferral Agreement.

Section 4.4 Counterparts. This Non-Recourse Guaranty may be executed simultaneously in counterparts (including by means of telecopied or PDF signature pages), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party hereto, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 4.5 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Non-Recourse Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,

but if any provision of this Non-Recourse Guaranty or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Non-Recourse Guaranty; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 4.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Non-Recourse Guaranty is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and the Funds and their successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

Section 4.7 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Non-Recourse Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of New York shall control the interpretation and construction of this Non-Recourse Guaranty (and all exhibits hereto, if any), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

Section 4.8 Conflicts. With respect to the Agent and the Funds and the obligations of the Agent under the Fund Documents only, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Fund Documents, the terms of the Fund Documents shall govern and control.

Section 4.9 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS NON-RECOURSE GUARANTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTION WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS NON-RECOURSE GUARANTY, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER.
