With respect to all Advances, each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.02, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by notice to the Lenders, in same day funds, such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may for Adjusted Base Rate Advances requested on the Effective Date only

request that such Advances be made on the same day as the Notice of Borrowing, provided that such Notice of Borrowing shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the Effective Date. If such Notice of Borrowing on the Effective Date is delivered to the Administrative Agent by such time, (A) the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender who is obligated to fund an Advance under such Notice of Borrowing of such Notice of Borrowing not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) on the Effective Date and (B) each Lender shall, before 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the Effective Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.02, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by notice to the Lenders, in same day funds, such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing.

(b) Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect to Convert or continue Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under this Section, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office no later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) (i) on the date which is at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion or continuation date in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of a Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances and (ii) on the Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date in the case of a Conversion to a Borrowing comprised of Adjusted Base Rate Advances. Each such Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telecopier, specifying (i) the requested Conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the Borrowing amount, Type and Class of the Advances to be Converted or continued, (iii) whether a Conversion or continuation is requested, and if a Conversion, into what Type of Advances, and (iv) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Advances, the requested Interest Period. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances, notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.06(b). If the Borrower shall fail to specify an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Advance including the continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Adjusted Base Rate Advance.

(i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or greater multiples of $100,000;

(ii) in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Advances, each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $500,000 or greater multiples of $100,000;

(iii) except for Borrowings for the acquisition of Permitted New Investments by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, the Borrower may not request Borrowings on more than four (4) days in any calendar month;

(iv) at no time shall there be more than five (5) Interest Periods applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances;

(v) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing to be made, Converted or continued if a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(vi) if any Lender shall, at any time prior to the making of any requested Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances, then such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing shall be made as an Adjusted Base Rate Advance, provided that such Adjusted Base Rate Advance shall be considered part of the same Borrowing and interest on such Adjusted Base Rate Advance shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due and payable; and such Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender;

(vii) if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the applicable Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be an Adjusted Base Rate Advance;

(viii) if the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative

Agent that the Applicable Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or funding their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be an Adjusted Base Rate Advance;

(ix) if the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or continuation of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will be made available to the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Adjusted Base Rate Advances or, if an existing Advance, Converted into Adjusted Base Rate Advances; and

(x) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances prior to the 5^th Business Day following the Effective Date.

(d) Notices Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any condition precedent for Borrowing set forth in Article III not being satisfied for any reason, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender before the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made its Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to

immediately repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable on each such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount and interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same day as the other Advances comprising such Borrowing.

(f) Lender Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(g) Notes. The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving Advances or Term Advances, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit A-1, or A-2, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of Advances.

Section 2.03. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. For the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Maturity Date the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on the average daily amount by which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment exceeds the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Share of the Revolving Exposure at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based upon a 360-day year). Such fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (i) on the date which is thirty (30) days following the end of the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, fees in respect of all Letters of Credit outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin in effect with respect to the Eurodollar Rate Advances (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based upon a 360-day

year) on the average daily amount of the aggregate undrawn maximum amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding, payable in arrears (i) on the date which is thirty (30) days following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Revolving Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fee on the daily amount of the aggregate undrawn maximum face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, such fees due and payable quarterly in arrears on the date which is thirty (30) days following the last day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit that from time to time are in effect.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its benefit the fees set forth in the Fee Letter for acting as Administrative Agent, as and when the same are due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter.

Section 2.04. Reduction of the Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders; provided, however, that (a) each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) no such reduction shall result in an overdraft status as provided in Section 2.07(c)(iv), and (c) no such reduction shall result in the total aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders being less than $25,000,000 unless the total aggregate Revolving Commitments are permanently terminated in their entirety.

Section 2.05. Repayment of Advances on Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each Advance on the applicable Maturity Date for such Class of Advance.

Section 2.06. Interest, Late Payment Fee. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) Adjusted Base Rate Advances. If such Advance is an Adjusted Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based on a 365 day year) equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the Adjusted Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month and on the date such Adjusted Base Rate Advance shall be paid in full, provided that during the continuance of an

Event of Default, Adjusted Base Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance had such Event of Default not occurred plus two percent (2%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based on a 360 day year) equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the lesser of (i) the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Advance for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period, and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be paid in full, and, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances having an Interest Period in excess of thirty (30) days, the first Business Day of each calendar month during such Interest Period excluding the month in which such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be paid in full; provided that during the continuance of an Event of Default, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance had such Event of Default not occurred plus two percent (2%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate.

(c) Usury Recapture. In the event the rate of interest chargeable under this Agreement or the Notes at any time is greater than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Notes equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Notes if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In the event, upon payment in full of the Notes, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on the Notes if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Notes if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement on the Notes. In the event the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Notes, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower.

(d) Other Amounts Overdue. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11, if any amount payable under this Agreement other than the Advances is not paid when due and payable, including without limitation, accrued interest and fees, then such overdue amount shall accrue interest hereon due and payable on

demand at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus two percent (2%), from the date such amount became due until the date such amount is paid in full.

(e) Late Payment Fee. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11, if any interest payable under this Agreement is not paid when due and payable (after taking into account any applicable grace period), then the Borrower will pay to the Lenders contemporaneously with the payment of such past due interest a late payment fee equal to an amount equal to the product of (i) such overdue interest times (ii) two percent (2%).

Section 2.07. Prepayments.

(a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Advance except as provided in this Section 2.07.

(b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may elect to prepay any of the Advances, after giving by 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) (i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, at least three (3) Business Days’, or (ii) in case of Adjusted Base Rate Advances, at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment, and if applicable, the relevant Interest Period for the Advances to be prepaid. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount specified in such notice, and shall also pay accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.07(c)(iii) or 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000.

(i) Repayment Event. Upon the occurrence of any Repayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay Advances on the next Business Day after the Net Cash Proceeds from such Repayment Event are received by the Borrower or the Parent or one of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of the outstanding Advances on such Business Day and (B) the Repayment Amount for such Repayment Event. If, in connection with an Asset Disposition which qualifies as a Repayment Event for which the Borrower has not used the Net Cash Proceeds to repay the Obligations, the Borrower has failed to comply with Section 5.09(c) or failed to make a Permitted New Investment or Permitted New Investments with such Net Cash Proceeds by the sixth month period provided in Section 5.09(c) or the end of the Rolling Period commencing after the Fiscal Quarter in which such

Asset Disposition occurred, as applicable, then the Borrower shall prepay Advances on or prior to the end of such six month period or the Rolling Period, as applicable, in the amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of the outstanding Advances on such date and (B) the portion of the Repayment Amount for such Repayment Event which has not been used to acquire an Owned Hospitality Property (as required by Section 5.09(c)) or to make a Permitted New Investment or Permitted New Investments.

(ii) Allocation of Payments. Prepayments under the foregoing paragraph (i) shall be applied (A) first, to Term Advances in the reverse order of maturity, and (B) second, to Revolving Advances; provided that such prepayment shall be applied to Revolving Advances (and not to Term Advances) if such prepayment is a result of a Repayment Event with the Net Cash Proceeds of Permitted Other Indebtedness secured by an Owned Hospitality Property Investment financed initially in whole or in part with the Revolving Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holder of Term Advances may, at its sole discretion, so long as any Revolving Advances are then outstanding (after giving effect to the application of the required prepayment to the Term Advances and Revolving Advances under this Section 2.07(c)), elect by written notice provided to the Administrative Agent not to have all or any amount of any such required prepayments applied to such holder’s Term Advances, in which case the aggregate amount so declined shall be applied to Revolving Advances; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount so declined by the holders of the Term Advances exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Advances, the excess shall be allocated between the declining holders of the Term Advances pro rata based on the aggregate amount declined by each such holder.

(iii) Term Advances. Commencing on July 1, 2007 and on each October 1, January 1, April 1 and July 1 thereafter, the Borrower shall repay the Term Advances by an amount equal to $162,500.

(iv) Overdraft. On any date on which the Revolving Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower agrees to make a prepayment of the Revolving Advances in the amount of such excess, and if all the Revolving Advances have been then repaid, then to deposit with the Administrative Agent into the Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Letter of Credit Exposure or (B) the amount of such excess less the amount of Revolving Advances then repaid.

(v) Accrued Interest. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be

paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date.

(vi) Avoidance of Breakage Costs. In the event that the amount of any mandatory prepayment of Advances under this Section 2.07(c) exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Advances which consist of Adjusted Base Rate Advances (the amount of such excess being the “Excess Amount”), the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to prepay such outstanding Advances which are Adjusted Base Rate Advances and to deposit an amount equal to the Excess Amount with the Administrative Agent in the Cash Collateral Account maintained by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Any amount so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the Obligations, earn interest on behalf of the Borrower and be applied to the prepayment of Advances which are Eurodollar Rate Advances at the end of the current Interest Period(s) applicable thereto. On any day on which amounts collected in the Cash Collateral Account remain on deposit in or to the credit of the Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to the payment made on such day pursuant to this Section 2.07(c), and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written request or a telephonic request (which shall be promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) that such remaining collected amounts be invested in cash equivalents specified in such request, the Administrative Agent shall invest such funds, to the extent the Administrative Agent is reasonably able to do so, in such cash equivalents as are acceptable to, and with no risk to, the Administrative Agent on an overnight basis or with maturities such that amounts will be available to pay the Obligations secured thereby as they become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise; provided, however, that any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to and be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Administrative Agent.

(vii) Repayment of Revolving Advances. Any mandatory repayments of Revolving Advances pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be applied (A) if no Default or Event of Default exists, then to Revolving Advances comprising the same Borrowing or Borrowings, at the Borrower’s option, and (B) if a Default or Event of Default exists, then to all Revolving Advances pro rata based upon the amount of outstanding Revolving Advances.

(d) Ratable Payments. Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part.

(e) Effect of Notice. All notices given pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower.

(f) Payments with respect to Liens on an Owned Hospitality Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, except in connection with the release of Liens on an Owned Hospitality Property contemplated by the provisions of Section 5.09, each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all Advances secured by a Lien on an Owned Hospitality Property shall be deemed the last Advances repaid.

Section 2.08. Breakage Costs. If (a) any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance as a result of any payment pursuant to Section 2.07 or the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise; (b) any Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.12 or otherwise; or (c) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance on the date such payment is due and payable, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of any written demand sent by any Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of breakage costs) required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, out-of-pocket costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

Section 2.09. Increased Costs.

(a) Eurodollar Rate Advances. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (except with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes) following the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) not complied with prior to the date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount

of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and detailing the calculation of such cost submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender at the time such Lender demands payment under this Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines in good faith that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) implemented or effective after the date of this Agreement affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the Issuing Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend or the Issuing Bank’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit or any Lender’s commitment to risk participate in Letters of Credit and other commitments of this type, then, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice by such Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy of any such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in light of such circumstances, (i) with respect to such Lender, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend under this Agreement or its commitment to risk participate in Letters of Credit and (ii) with respect to the Issuing Bank, to the extent that such Issuing Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the issuance or maintenance of the Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts and detailing the calculation of such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Letters of Credit. If any change in any law or regulation (except with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes) or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof following the date of this Agreement shall either (i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, Issuing Bank or any Lender or (ii) impose on Issuing Bank or any Lender any other condition regarding the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letters of Credit or any Letter of Credit Obligations, and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase the cost to Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or increase the cost to such Lender of

its risk participation in any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be determined by Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such event), then, upon demand by Issuing Bank or such Lender (with a copy sent to the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank or Lender, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by Issuing Bank or such Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased cost. Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the booking of its Letters of Credit or risk participations if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of Issuing Bank or such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be. A certificate as to such increased cost incurred by Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, and detailing the calculation of such increased costs submitted by Issuing Bank or such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.10. Payments and Computations.

(a) Payment Procedures. Except if otherwise set forth herein, the Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the location referred to in the Notes (or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in same day funds without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Except for amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, or a specific Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 2.12, or 2.13(c) but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent will on the same day cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably to the Lenders in accordance with, in the case of a payment made in respect of a Borrowing, each Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or Issuing Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Computations. All computations of interest based on the Adjusted Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days and all computations of fees and interest based on the Applicable Eurodollar Rate and the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days

(including the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Non-Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day.

(e) Application of Payments. Unless otherwise specified in Section 2.07 hereof, whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable under this Agreement and the Notes, such payment shall be distributed and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, under and in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document; second, to the payment of all expenses due and payable under Section 2.11(c), to all fees due and payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(b), and to all other fees due and payable under Section 2.03, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such Lender and the Issuing Bank; third, to the payment of the interest accrued on all Advances and all Letter of Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate accrued interest owed to such Lenders; fourth, to the payment of the principal amount of all Advances and all Letter of Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with

the aggregate principal amount owed to such Lenders; and fifth, if applicable, to the payment of all amounts due and payable under Interest Rate Agreements provided by a Lender.

(f) Register. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitment and the Advances from time to time of each Lender and each repayment or prepayment in respect to the principal amount of such Advances of each Lender. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided however, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such Advances.

Section 2.11. Taxes.

(a) No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender, Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or carries on business (other than as a result of a connection arising primarily from the Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement) or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdictions (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) and, (ii) in the case of each Lender and Issuing Bank, Taxes by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, (x) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11), such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; provided, however, that if the Borrower’s obligation to deduct or withhold Taxes is caused solely by such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s, or the Administrative Agent’s failure to provide the forms described in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.11 and such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent could have provided such forms, no such increase shall be required; (y) the Borrower shall make such deductions; and (z) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify each Lender, Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Each payment required to be made by the Borrower in respect of this indemnification shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any party claiming such indemnification within thirty (30) days from the date the Borrower receives written demand detailing the calculation of such amounts therefore from the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself as Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or any such Lender. If any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank determines in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith) that is has received a refund or offset in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower under this paragraph (c), such Lender, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the Borrower’s share of such refund or offset as determined in the sole discretion, exercised in good faith, of such Lender, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank, as the case may be (reduced by any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and any Taxes imposed on the Lender, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by reason of the receipt of such refund or offset, provided, however, that the Borrower upon the request of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in the event such Lender, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund or offset to a taxing authority). Nothing in this Section 2.11(c) shall obligate any Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank to apply for any such refund or offset.

(d) Evidence of Tax Payments. The Borrower will pay prior to delinquency all Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(e) Foreign Lender Withholding Exemption. Each Lender and Issuing Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a

state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of this Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment and Assumption two duly completed copies of the Prescribed Forms, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Prescribed Form further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of a replacement Prescribed Form. If an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery required by the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Lender from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Prescribed Form establishing an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States backup withholding tax, such Lender shall not be required to deliver such forms. The Borrower shall withhold tax at the rate and in the manner required by the laws of the United States with respect to payments made to a Lender failing to timely provide the Prescribed Forms.

(f) Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary, in its sole discretion).

(g) If the Issuing Bank or any Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11, then such Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole discretion of such Issuing Bank or Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Issuing Bank or Lender.

(h) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, that Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefore, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including attorney fees) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.12. Illegality. If any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding hereunder, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall, if demanded by such Lender by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time), (a) if not prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender or (b) if prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the second Business Day following its receipt of such notice from such Lender, Convert all such affected Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding to Adjusted Base Rate Advances, and pay accrued interest on the principal amount Converted to the date of such Conversion and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such Conversion being made on such date. Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.13. Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance. From time to time from the date of this Agreement until three months before the Maturity Date, at the request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall, on any Business Day and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, issue, increase, decrease, amend, or extend the expiration date of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower (for its own benefit or for the benefit of the Parent or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries). Promptly after issuance by the Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (including the amount thereof). Upon the Effective Date, but subject to the limitations contained in the following sentence, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be automatically converted to a Letter of Credit. No Letter of Credit will be issued, increased, or extended and no Existing Letter of Credit will be converted to a Letter of Credit (i) if such issuance, increase, extension or conversion would cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 or (y) an amount equal to (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments less (B) the sum of the aggregate Revolving Exposure at such time; (ii) unless such Letter of Credit has an Expiration Date not later than the earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance thereof and (B) ten (10) days prior to the Maturity Date; (iii) unless such Letter of Credit is in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Bank; (iv) unless such Letter of Credit is a standby letter of credit not

supporting the repayment of indebtedness for borrowed money of any Person; (v) unless the Borrower has delivered to the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the completed and executed Letter of Credit Documents (other than the Letter of Credit) on such Issuing Bank’s standard form, which shall contain terms no more restrictive than the terms of this Agreement; and (vi) unless no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the issuance of such Letter of Credit. If the terms of any of the Letter of Credit Documents referred to in the foregoing clause (v) conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Participations. On the date of the issuance or increase of any Letter of Credit on or after the Effective Date or the conversion of any Existing Letter of Credit to a Letter of Credit in accordance with provisions of the preceding Section 2.13(a), Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment and each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in the Letter of Credit Exposure related to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank equal to such Lender’s Revolving Share at such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receiving notification from the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each such participant Lender by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of Credit of such Issuing Bank issued, increased or decreased, and the actual dollar amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit. Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section and to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such Lender’s Revolving Share of any payment under a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank not reimbursed in full by the Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any of the circumstances described in paragraph (d) below, (ii) the occurrence and continuance of a Default, (iii) an adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstance, happening or event that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank.

(c) Reimbursement. The Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay promptly on demand to Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank an amount equal to any amount paid by such Issuing Bank under or in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event any Issuing Bank makes a payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of Credit and such payment is not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower upon demand, such Issuing Bank shall give notice of such payment to the Administrative Agent, and upon the receipt of such notice, the Administrative

Agent shall give notice of such payment to the Lenders, and each Lender shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent for such Lender’s Revolving Share of such payment, and such reimbursement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to constitute an Adjusted Base Rate Advance to the Borrower from such Lender. If such reimbursement is not made by any Lender to any Issuing Bank on the same day on which such Issuing Bank shall have made payment on any such draw, such Lender shall pay interest thereon to such Issuing Bank for each such day from the date such payment should have been made until the date repaid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to record and otherwise treat each payment under a Letter of Credit not immediately reimbursed by the Borrower as a Borrowing comprised of Adjusted Base Rate Advances to the Borrower.

(d) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, notwithstanding the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Documents;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent the Issuing Bank would not be liable therefore pursuant to the following paragraph (e);

(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(e) Liability of Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank, nor any other Lender, nor any of their respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:

(i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;

(ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;

(iii) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or

(iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit (including such Issuing Bank’s own negligence),

except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to, and shall promptly pay to, the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (A) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence in failing to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

Section 2.14. Determination of Certain Financial Covenants. In addition to the determination of the Financial Covenants in a Compliance Certificate, certain Financial Covenants shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, as follows:

(a) Adjustments. At least five Business Days prior to (i) each making, acquisition or disposition by the Parent or its Subsidiary of an Investment or any Non-Replaced Property with an Investment Amount in excess of $5,000,000, (ii) the date on which any Owned Hospitality Property is mortgaged to secure

obligations or Indebtedness other than the Obligations, or (iii) the incurrence by the Parent or its Subsidiary of additional Indebtedness (excluding any Obligations) in excess of $5,000,000 (an “Adjustment Event”), and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of an Adjustment Report with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall adjust the Financial Covenants in Sections 7.02 and 7.04, accordingly.

(b) Notice of Financial Covenant Changes. Promptly following any date the Financial Covenants in Sections 7.02 and 7.04 are determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and the Borrower of the new Financial Covenants in Sections 7.02 and 7.04.

Section 2.15. Lender Replacement.

(a) Right to Replace. The Borrower shall, at the Borrower’s own expense, have the right to replace each Lender affected by a condition under Section 2.02(c)(vi), 2.09, 2.11, or 2.12 for more than 60 days (each such affected Lender, an “Affected Lender”) in accordance with the procedures in this Section 2.15 and provided that no reduction of the total Commitments occurs as a result thereof.

(b) Replacement Allocation.

(i) Upon the occurrence of any condition permitting the replacement of a Lender, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall have the right to reallocate the amount of the Commitments of the Affected Lenders, including without limitation to Persons which are not already party to this Agreement but which qualify as Eligible Assignees, which election shall be made by written notice within thirty (30) days after the date such condition occurs.

(ii) If the aggregate amount of the reallocated Commitments is less than the Commitments of the Affected Lenders, (A) the respective Commitments of the Lenders which have received such reallocated Commitments shall be increased by the respective amounts of their proposed reallocations, and (B) the Borrower shall have the right to add additional Lenders which are Eligible Assignees to this Agreement to replace such Affected Lenders, which additional Lenders would have aggregate Commitments no greater than those of the Affected Lenders minus the amounts of the Commitments already reallocated.

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.15 to the contrary, no Lender may have such Lender’s Commitment increased pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.15 without such Lender’s written consent.

(c) Procedure. Any assumptions of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be (i) made by the purchasing Lender or Eligible Assignee and the selling Lender entering into an Assignment and Assumption and by following the procedures in Section 10.06 for adding a Lender; provided that no processing fee shall be charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment. In connection with the reallocation of the Commitments of any Lender pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (b), each Lender with a reallocated Commitment shall purchase from the Affected Lenders at par such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of the outstanding Advances of the Affected Lenders and assume such Lender’s Revolving Share of the Affected Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure.

Section 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it in excess of its Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of payments or collateral on account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances, as applicable, made by them or Letter of Credit Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of the participation sold by such Lender to the purchasing Lender as a result of such excess payment to (b) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (b) the total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirement, unless and until rescinded as provided above, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

If the Property released in connection with any such Permitted Asset Disposition includes all or substantially all of the Ownership Interests in a Guarantor, or if a Guarantor incurs Permitted Other Indebtedness, then, upon request of the Borrower to the

Administrative Agent, at the time of such Permitted Asset Disposition or the incurrence of such Permitted Other Indebtedness, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall release such Guarantor from the Guaranty and the other Credit Documents to which such Guaranty is a party.

Section 5.10. New Subsidiaries. Except with respect to a Permitted Other Subsidiary that has incurred or issued Permitted Other Indebtedness, within ten (10) Business Days (or ninety (90) Business Days in the case of a Material Subsidiary created after the Effective Date in connection with an acquisition of an Owned Hospitality Property) after either (a) the date that any Subsidiary of the Parent that was not a Material Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary or such Subsidiary is no longer prohibited from acting as a Guarantor because of a contractual obligation or any new Material Subsidiary is created after the Effective Date, or (b) the purchase by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of the Ownership Interests of any Person, which purchase results in such Person becoming a Material Subsidiary the Parent shall, in each case, cause (i) such Material Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent either (A) a Guaranty, an Environmental Indemnity and a Security Agreement or (B) an Accession Agreement, (ii) any of the Borrower and any Guarantor who is a direct owner of the Ownership Interests of such Material Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Security Agreement, if necessary, and such other documents as are necessary to create an Acceptable Lien in the Ownership Interests in the Material Subsidiary owned by such Person (and such other Security Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) and (iii) the Persons who are party to the documents delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.10 to provide such evidence of authority to enter into such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(b) The Borrower will not permit the Insurance Surplus, as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, to be less than that required by applicable Legal Requirements. The Borrower will not permit the maximum amount payable by all Insurance Companies under Insurance Contracts or Reinsurance Contracts, as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, to be greater than $10,000,000.

Section 5.12. Interest Rate Agreements. From the date 60 days following the Effective Date until the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall cause the Parent to obtain and thereafter maintain Interest Rate Agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, sufficient to ensure that at least 50% of the Total Indebtedness, measured as of each day during such period, shall be covered by such Interest Rate Agreements or shall have a fixed rate of interest. Any Interest Rate Agreements for the Parent shall be provided by either a Lender or a bank or other financial institution whose long-term debt rating is equal to or greater than “A”; provided that the Lenders will have a right of first refusal, but not an obligation, to provide any Interest Rate Agreements for the Parent on substantially such terms as the Parent would be able to obtain from any such non-Lender. To the extent that any Interest Rate Agreement is provided by a Lender, the obligations of the Parent or its Subsidiary under such Interest Rate Agreement may be secured by the Collateral pari passu with the Obligations. However, the pledge of any Collateral to secure any Interest Rate Agreement from any non-Lender shall be subject to the written approval of the Required Lenders. The dollar amount subject to Interest Rate Agreements in the aggregate shall not exceed the sum of the amount of the Advances and the amount of the other Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Affiliates which bears interest at a variable rate.

Section 5.13. Comfort Letters. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Administrative Agent with Comfort Letters for all Owned Hospitality Properties that are subject to a Mortgage in favor of the Administrative Agent

within twenty (20) Business Days following the Effective Date, provided, however, if Borrower is unable to provide the Administrative Agent with such Comfort Letters for any reason within the time frame set forth hereinabove, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, Borrower shall assist the Administrative Agent in dealing directly with the franchisors in order to obtain such Comfort Letters.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any affiliate of the Borrower or a Guarantor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Guarantor and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 9.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Share immediately prior to such date), for, and to save the Administrative Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,

100

expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.08. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Guarantor as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative in its individual capacity.

Section 9.09. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Section 9.10. Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 5.09.

Section 9.11. The Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents. The Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents shall have no duties or

101

responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 10.04. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, due diligence, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents and syndication of the Obligations including, without limitation, (a) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx, L.L.P., counsel for the Administrative Agent, and (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, and each Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, and each Lender) in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations,

103

legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (c) to the extent not included in the foregoing, the costs of any local counsel, travel expenses, Appraisals, Engineering Reports, Environmental Reports, Title Policies, mortgage and intangible taxes (if any), and any title or Uniform Commercial Code search costs, any flood plain search costs, insurance consultant costs and other costs usual and customary in connection with a credit facility of this type.

Section 10.05. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and when the Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Lender, either received a counterpart hereof executed by such Lender or been notified by such Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

Section 10.06. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Parent, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Advances and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Advance owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Advance for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the Borrower, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Credit Document, or any consent to any departure by any Advance Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of each “directly modified” Lender pursuant to Section 10.01(a). The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Advances are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a

104

Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 8.06(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11 and 10.07 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Advances outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.11, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. In addition, each transferor Lender selling a participation to a Participant under this Section 10.06(b): (i) shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of each such Participant, specifying such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation, and (ii) shall collect from each such Participant the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.11 (and updated as required by Section 2.11) as if such Participant were a Lender under Section 2.11.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Bank (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (y) that no such consent need be obtained by the Administrative Agent or its affiliates and (z) the consent of neither the Administrative Agent nor the Borrower need be obtained with respect to any assignment of funded Term Advances), to an additional Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, executed by such Eligible Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (A) no such assignment to an Eligible Assignee (other than, in each case, any Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (in the case of the Term Loan Facility) or $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility), unless (1) otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or (2) such assignment represents an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement and (B) if the Assignor shall retain any Advances or Commitments after giving effect to such assignment such Advances and Commitments shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (in the case of the Term Loan Facility) and $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility). Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility. Upon such execution, delivery,

105

acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Advances as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.09, 2.11 and 10.04 and 10.07 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, each Lender’s Commitment, each Lender’s and each Issuing Bank’s interest in each Advance, each Letter of Credit and each Letter of Credit Obligation, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances, any Notes evidencing such Advances and any Reimbursement Obligation recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Advance, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of an Advance evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Advance, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Eligible Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Advances) or any Issuing Bank (with respect to any entry relating to the Borrower’s Letter of Credit Obligations owed to such Issuing Bank) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assignor and an Eligible Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.06(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (if required by the Administrative Agent and, in any case treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment), the Administrative Agent shall

106

(i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Eligible Assignee and its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Commitment and/or applicable Term Advances, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Commitment and/or Term Advances, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor and its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Commitment and/or applicable Term Advances, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Advances and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Advances and Notes, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, (ii) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s securities or (iii) any SPC to which such Lender granted an option pursuant to clause (g) below.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Advance and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.06(g), any SPC may

107

(A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Advances to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Advances, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Advances outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment. In addition, each Granting Lender granting an SPC the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (i) shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of each SPC which has funded all or any part of any Advance that such Lender would have otherwise been obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, specifying such SPC’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such Advance and (ii) shall collect, prior to the time such SPC receives payments with respect to such funded Advance, from each SPC the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.11 (and updated as required by Section 2.11) as if such SPC were a Lender under Section 2.11, and each SPC that assigns all or a portion of its interests in any Advance to any financial institution pursuant to this Section 10.06(g), (i) shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of each such financial institution, specifying such financial institution’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such Advance and (ii) shall collect, prior to the time such financial institution receives payments with respect to such funded Advance, from each such financial institution the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.11 (and updated as required by Section 2.11) as if such financial institution were a Lender under Section 2.11.

(h) For purposes of this Section 10.06, if an Issuing Bank transfers its rights with respect to the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit, (i) such Issuing Bank shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such transfer for notation in the Register, (ii) each such transfer may only be made upon notation of such transfer in Register, and (iii) no such transfer will be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register.

Section 10.07. Indemnification. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for, and hold each Lender, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be

108

payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions, and (b) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Advances or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Parent, the Borrower any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties or the use by unauthorized Persons of information or other materials sent through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such Persons and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (b), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (i) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) the fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Lenders in respect of the matters covered by Section 10.04(a) or (iii) the loss in value to any Lender of any Advance or other Obligations held by such Lender unrelated to any actions, penalties, judgments, suits, noncompliance or violations of law covered by this Section 10.07. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements for amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (Telephone No. 703-387.3332) (Fax No. 000-000-0000), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.02, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent.

109

The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 10.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.09. Survival of Representations, Indemnifications, etc. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Credit Documents, the making of the Advances and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders, none of which investigations shall diminish any Lender’s right to rely on such representations and warranties. All obligations of the Borrower provided for in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11(c), and 10.07 and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 9.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

Section 10.10. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.11. Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower and each Lender in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Lenders and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and each Lender receiving same shall credit the same on the principal of its Advances (or if such Advances shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Advances is accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the
