Article II
THE LOAN

2.01 The Loan.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, each of Borrowers hereby irrevocably requests, and Initial Lender agrees to advance, the Loan to Borrowers on the Closing Date in the Initial Loan Amount, with all fees payable under the Fee Letter, including, without limitation, the Loan Structuring Fee and the first year of the Administrative Agent Fee referred to in such Fee Letter, as well as any reimbursements to Administrative Agent and Initial Lender due or payable on or about the Closing Date, being paid to and retained by the parties to whom such fees and reimbursements are payable.

(b) All amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every promise, covenant or obligation of Borrowers specified in the Loan Documents.

2.02 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use all proceeds of the Loan to make the Sole Member Loan; provided, however, that (at the direction and with the consent of all parties to the Sole Member Promissory Note and the Project Acquisition Agreements) Borrowers, Sole Member, Sole Member Parent, Parent and Sponsor direct that all proceeds of the Loan shall be, concurrently with the making of the Loan, applied to pay the consideration for the acquisition by Borrowers of the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to and in accordance with the Project Acquisition Agreements, as also set forth in a “sources and uses” summary or closing or settlement statement executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and approved by Administrative Agent. In no event shall any proceeds of the Loan be used directly or indirectly by any Person (a) for any personal,

Page 28

family, household or agricultural purposes, or (b) for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing, acquiring or carrying any “margin stock” (as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the FRB (or any successor)) or to extend credit to others directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.

2.03 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrowers may, at their option (subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2.03), prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, in whole or in part, on the following conditions:

(i) such prepayment must occur on a Business Day and must be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan;

(ii) such prepayment shall be accompanied by (A) all interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the portion of the principal amount being prepaid, (B) if such prepayment occurs during the Minimum Earnings Period, the applicable Minimum Earnings Amount, if any, with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and (C) any other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement with respect to the Loan, including any amounts payable pursuant to Article III and Section 10.04; and

(iii) Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a written notice not less than five (5) Business Days and not more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date proposed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify (A) the Business Day on which such prepayment will be made and (B) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loan to be prepaid. Following its receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent will calculate all interest that will be accrued through the date of such prepayment and the Minimum Earnings Amount, if any, to be paid on the date of such prepayment, and any other out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment and will notify Borrowers of such amounts. Upon the giving of such notice by Borrowers, the principal to be prepaid as described therein shall become due and payable, along with the applicable interest, the Minimum Earnings Amount, if any, and the other amounts due in connection therewith to the extent specified in the preceding sentence, on the date for such prepayment specified in such notice. Each such prepayment of the Loan and other amounts payable in connection with such prepayment shall be allocated among all Lenders in proportion to the applicable Obligations owing to them.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Any Disposition of all or any part of a Project or other Collateral that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or does not result in Payment in Full of all Obligations shall be made in accordance with Section 2.17 hereof and shall require (A) the prior written consent of Required Lenders (unless consent is not required under the terms of Section 2.17), such consent (if required) to be in their sole and absolute discretion, and (B) Borrowers to prepay the Loan upon the consummation of such Disposition in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Release Price of the Proposed Released Collateral, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the applicable Minimum Earnings Amount, if any, due and payable in respect thereof (such prepayments to be applied as set

Page 29

forth in clause (iii) below). Each such prepayment shall be paid to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders.

(ii) Borrowers shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to 100% of the Loss Proceeds Prepayment Amount (but without any Minimum Earnings Amount or similar prepayment charge being due and owing). Each such prepayment shall be paid to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders.

(iii) Commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2028, at all times after the occurrence or existence of any Co-Tenancy Trigger Event with respect to any Project or Mortgaged Property or any Lease or Leases relating thereto, and during the continuance thereof, Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written notice from Administrative Agent or any Lender that a Lender has elected to receive such prepayment (which notice shall be required to be delivered to Borrowers’ Representative by Administrative Agent or any Lender within twenty (20) Business Days following a determination by Administrative Agent that a Co-Tenancy Trigger Event has occurred or exists for the Fiscal Quarter then most recently ended), prepay the Loan in an amount equal to all Excess Cash Flow (from all Projects and Mortgaged Properties and all Leases of all Borrowers) for the Fiscal Quarter then most recently ended (for the avoidance of doubt, the initial mandatory prepayment that may result from the occurrence or existence of a Co-Tenancy Trigger Event pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be due and payable after March 31, 2028, and after receipt by Borrowers’ Representative of any such notice from Administrative Agent or any Lender of its election hereunder as provided hereinabove).

(iv) Each prepayment of the Loan pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.03(b) and Section 7.17 shall:

(A) occur on a Business Day;

(B) be accompanied by (1) all interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the portion of the principal amount being prepaid, (2) solely with respect to clause (b)(i), if such prepayment occurs during the Minimum Earnings Period, the applicable Minimum Earnings Amount, if any, with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and (3) any other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement with respect to the Loan, including any amounts payable pursuant to Article III and Section 10.04; and

(C) Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a written notice as many days prior to the date proposed for such prepayment as possible (but, in each case other than a mandatory prepayment as provided for in Section 2.03(b)(ii) or 2.03(b)(iii) hereof, with no less than five (5) Business Days’ notice). Each such notice shall specify (1) the Business Day on which such prepayment will be made and (2) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid. Following its receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent will calculate all interest at the then current Applicable Rate that will be accrued through the date of such prepayment and the Minimum Earnings Amount, if any, to be paid on the date of such prepayment, and any other out-of-pocket third-party fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment and will notify Borrowers of such amounts. Each such prepayment of the Loan and other

Page 30

amounts payable in connection with such prepayment shall be allocated among all Lenders in proportion to the applicable Obligations owing to them.

(v) Lenders may elect, in their sole and absolute discretion, not to accept any prepayment required under clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of this Section (or any portion thereof) by providing notice to Administrative Agent who shall then promptly provide notice to Borrowers, in which case, such prepayment (or any portion thereof) shall not be required under clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of this Section; provided that such election by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall only apply to such instance of prepayment (or any portion thereof) and not for future prepayments under clauses (b)(i); (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of this Section thereafter.

(c) Application of Prepayments. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent, all prepayments of the Loan shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan in the inverse order of the due dates for any installments or other amounts due thereon.

2.04 Repayment of Loan. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations not previously paid shall be due and payable in full, and shall be repaid in full, on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loan or portion of the Loan becomes due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents). If the Loan becomes due and payable during the Minimum Earnings Period, whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration (whether by election or automatically), or on such other earlier date on which the Loan or portion of the Loan becomes due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law, including, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(f)), the applicable Minimum Earnings Amount shall be due and payable on such repayment date. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE MINIMUM EARNINGS AMOUNT. Each Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (a) the Minimum Earnings Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (b) THE MINIMUM EARNINGS AMOUNT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSIDERED TO BE, UNMATURED INTEREST ON THE LOAN OR OTHER AMOUNT AND NO LOAN PARTY SHALL ARGUE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THE MINIMUM EARNINGS AMOUNT CONSTITUTES UNMATURED INTEREST ON THE LOAN; (c) the Minimum Earnings Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (d) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Minimum Earnings Amount; (e) each Loan Party shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; and (f) in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages, the parties mutually agree that the Minimum Earnings Amount is a reasonable calculation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ lost profits as a result of any such prepayments and is not a penalty.

2.05 Interest.

(a) Applicable Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ request that the Loan be funded by Initial Lender to the agreed upon title company on the date hereof to facilitate the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and interest on the Loan shall commence to accrue on the date hereof.

Page 31

(b) Default Rate.

(i) If any amount payable by Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (or by the end of any applicable grace period following such due date), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) While any Event of Default exists, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, all past due Obligations (other than the principal amount of the Loan), including past due interest accrued on the Loan, at an interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand, but not less frequently than each Interest Payment Date.

(c) Payment. Interest on the Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.06 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent (for the account of Administrative Agent, any Affiliate of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders as they may determine) (a) the Loan Structuring Fee on the Closing Date and (b) all other fees and other amounts due under any Fee Letter in the amounts, to the payees and at the times specified in such Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay to Lenders and Administrative Agent such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing, if any, in the amounts and at the times so specified. The foregoing fees shall be fully earned when due and payable and when paid shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.07 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis, as applicable, of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed on or with regard to the Loan. Interest shall accrue on the Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on the Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid so long as such payment is received by Administrative Agent on or before 4:00 p.m., Central time, on such day of payment. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.08 Evidence of Debt. The portion of the Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loan made by such Lender to the applicable Borrowers or owed by Borrowers to such Lender and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ made through Administrative Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s portion of each Loan as provided herein in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender

Page 32

may attach schedules to its Note evidencing its portion of the Loan and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the Loan and payments with respect thereto.

2.09 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Borrowers shall make or cause to be made all payments of principal of the Loan and all payments of interest, fees and other Obligations with respect to the Loan to Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Secured Parties, by wire transfer or ACH in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such account as to which Administrative Agent may from time to time notify Borrowers’ Representative in writing. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the Loan (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m., Central time, on any day shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except as provided in the definition of Maturity Date, if any payment to be made by Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(b) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrowers prior to the time at which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice given by Administrative Agent to any Lender or to Borrowers’ Representative with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds in Dollars for the Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrowers by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the Loan set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, then Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligation of each Lender hereunder to make the Loan and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(d) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any portion of the Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(d) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its portion of the Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(d).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its portion of the Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a

Page 33

representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any portion of the Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage.

2.10 Sharing of Payments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of the Loan due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its Applicable Percentage or (b) Obligations in respect of the Loan owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its Applicable Percentage, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loan of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Loan then due and payable to Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loan to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrowers thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Laws, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.11 Release of Funds from the Loss Proceeds Account. The Loss Proceeds Account shall be under the sole and exclusive control of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of an Account Control Agreement. Provided the conditions applicable to the use of Extraordinary Receipts to pay for the repair and restoration of a Project following a casualty or condemnation set forth in Section 6.24 or Section 6.25, as applicable, are satisfied, funds in the Loss Proceeds Account may be used to pay costs of repair/restoration as described in Section 6.24 or Section 6.25, as applicable, and as approved by Administrative Agent, or shall otherwise be paid, prepaid or distributed as provided for in Section 6.24 or Section 6.25 hereof, as applicable. No funds may be released or transferred from the Loss Proceeds Account unless approved by Administrative Agent.

2.12 Real Estate Tax Account. The Real Estate Tax Account shall be under the sole and exclusive control of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of an Account Control Agreement. Tax Funds shall be deposited by Borrowers into the Real Estate Tax Account in accordance with the provisions

Page 34

of Section 6.23 of this Agreement. Other than the Minimum Real Estate Tax Account Funding, and for so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrowers have otherwise complied with the provisions of this Section 2.12, Administrative Agent shall release any or all Tax Funds to the applicable Borrowers for the payment on behalf of such Borrowers of Property Taxes for the Projects; provided that evidence of payment in full in Dollars of each of the relevant Property Taxes with such Tax Funds shall be provided by the applicable Borrowers to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after each date on which such Tax Funds are so released (but only to the extent such evidence has not been previously so provided to the Administrative Agent). If the balance of the Real Estate Tax Account shall at any time be less than the Minimum Real Estate Tax Account Funding amount, Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof (or, if earlier, Borrowers' knowledge thereof), pay to Administrative Agent in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount at least equal to the amount of such balance. Borrowers shall furnish the Administrative Agent with all bills, statements and estimates for Property Taxes received by or available to a Borrowers at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Property Taxes first become payable. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Property Taxes, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may either return any excess to the Real Estate Tax Account or credit such excess against future payments to be made with the Tax Funds. The amounts in respect of Property Taxes in respect of each Project that are deposited into the Real Estate Tax Account on the Closing Date shall be sufficient (when combined with the monthly deposits for Property Taxes) to fund the Real Estate Tax Account in order to pay the Property Taxes as they become due and payable. Any Tax Funds remaining after Payment in Full shall be returned to Borrowers. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with holding and disbursing the Tax Funds (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of the inspections, if any, required hereunder) shall be paid by Borrowers on demand by Administrative Agent.

2.13 Revenue Accounts. All revenues and other cash received in respect of the operation of the Projects, other than the proceeds of the Loan, proceeds from a Disposition and amounts to be deposited in the Loss Proceeds Account or the Real Estate Tax Account, shall be deposited into one or more Revenue Accounts.

2.14 Repair Reserve Account. The Repair Reserve Account shall be under the sole and exclusive control of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of an Account Control Agreement. Provided that Administrative Agent is provided with such supporting documents and other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, Administrative Agent shall disburse funds from the Repair Reserve Account to make the repairs set forth on Schedule 2.14 hereof in an amount equal to the amount requested by Borrowers’ Representative, provided that: (a) Borrowers’ Representative submits a funds disbursement request to Administrative Agent, which request shall set forth a general description of the use of the Repair Reserve Account for which such disbursement is requested, together with copies of all supporting invoices; (b) such request is delivered at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrowers’ Representative requests such disbursement be made, provided that Administrative Agent shall not require such five (5) Business Day prior notice as it relates to immediate repairs determined necessary by a third-party property condition assessment satisfactory to Administrative Agent; (c) [reserved]; (d) Administrative Agent shall have the right to confirm (by an inspection conducted at Borrowers’ expense if any repair work for a Project exceeds $500,000.00) performance of the work associated with such use of the Repair Reserve Account; (e) on the date such request is received by Administrative Agent and on the date such disbursement is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or be continuing; and (f) the request for disbursement is accompanied by a Responsible Officer’s certificate certifying that (i) such funds will be used to reimburse the applicable Borrower for, or to pay directly to the contractor for, the subject repairs, (ii) the subject repairs have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (iii) any construction work associated with the related use of the Repair Reserve Account has been completed (or will be completed to

Page 35

the extent of the requested disbursement) in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Laws and (iv) after completion of the subject repairs, the applicable Project shall be free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens permitted hereunder. Once all required work has been completed for a Project in accordance with the preceding requirements, any funds that remain in the Repair Reserve Account allocated for such Project shall be disbursed to Borrowers. Administrative Agent shall not be required to disburse funds from the Repair Reserve Account more frequently than twice each calendar month.

2.15 Cash Accounts upon an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, amounts provided for in Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 may be withheld or applied by Administrative Agent in any manner Administrative Agent so elects.

2.16 Intentionally Omitted.

2.17 Disposition(s), Release(s) of Collateral.

(a) Except as provided in a Disposition or a Project Refinancing that results in Payment in Full of all Obligations or a Disposition or a Project Refinancing otherwise permitted by this Agreement, Borrowers may not make any Disposition of any Collateral (including any Project or any part thereof) or consummate any Project Refinancing, and Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to release from its Liens any such Collateral, provided, that a Disposition of a Project or a Project Refinancing shall be permitted hereunder if, and only if, (1) no Default has then occurred and is continuing, (2) a Default would not result therefrom, and (3) all of the following applicable conditions are satisfied or waived by Lenders (or, if applicable, the requisite percentage of Lenders):

(i) Administrative Agent shall have received from Borrowers and the other Loan Parties a written notice of such proposed Disposition or Project Refinancing which (A) properly identifies the affected Collateral (such collateral, the “Proposed Released Collateral”), (B) certifies as to compliance with all conditions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Disposition or Project Refinancing (including a certification that no Default has then occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom) and (C) requests a release of the Proposed Released Collateral from the Liens of the Loan Documents thereon (the “Release Request”); provided that, in the case of any Project Refinancing, Borrowers’ Representative shall have given Administrative Agent at least 30 days prior written notice before consummation of such Project Refinancing;

(ii) [Reserved];

(iii) Except in the case of a Disposition of one or more of the Projects or part thereof which results in the payment to Administrative Agent of the Initial Loan Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan plus any Minimum Earnings Amount payable on the Loan, (A) the Disposition of the Proposed Released Collateral is made to an unrelated third party, on an arm’s length basis and for a purchase price payable by the purchaser thereof equal to not less than the fair market value of the Project or part thereof then being sold (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent), which purchase price shall be payable in its entirety for cash in Dollars, and (B) immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with such Disposition, the applicable Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a certification in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent certifying as to the Solvency of such Borrower, both

The applicable Borrowers may, by written notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders), request that Administrative Agent substitute certain Property comprising Collateral hereunder (the “Substituted Property”) with other Property (the “Replacement Property”) owned by such applicable Borrowers or a substitute entity or entities (the “Substitute Borrowers” and each a “Substitute Borrower”) approved by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

(a) Request for Extension. Borrowers may, by notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not later than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that each Lender extend the Maturity Date for an additional one (1) year from the then Existing Maturity Date. Any such extension made pursuant to this Section 2.20 may be exercised on no more than two (2) occasions during the term of this Agreement (as such term may be extended pursuant hereto).

(b) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. After receipt by Administrative Agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ request for an extension of the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.20(a), such requested extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall automatically become effective upon the satisfaction and/or waiver by each Lender of each of the following conditions:

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Existing Maturity Date or after giving effect to the extension of the Maturity Date on such date;

(ii) all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(iii) the Debt Yield on Projects, determined as of the Existing Maturity Date (or determined as of such earlier date as may be determined by each Lender in its sole discretion, but which earlier date shall not be more than 90 days prior to the Existing Maturity Date) and based upon the financial information then available, is not less than 13.50%;

(iv) [reserved];

(v) the DSCR for Projects, as determined as of September 30, 2030 for the first extension request and as determined as of September 30, 2031 for the second extension request, is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00;

Page 39

(vii) Borrowers shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the Extension Fee;

(viii) Borrowers shall have paid all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and of special local counsel to Administrative Agent and Lenders), in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of such extension or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated);

(ix) there shall not have occurred, as determined by each Lender in its reasonable discretion, any material adverse change in the financial condition or results of operations of Sponsor when comparing the most recently available financial statements of Sponsor against those provided as of (or delivered on or about) the Closing Date; and

(x) the maturity date of the Affiliate Loan shall have been extended in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Affiliate Credit Agreement and the Affiliate Loan shall remain outstanding and the Affiliate Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(c) Amendment. In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date, Borrowers, Guarantors, Administrative Agent and Lenders may make such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with, or to evidence, the extension.

2.21 Additional Matters Relating to Term SOFR.

(a) Index. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Term SOFR Rate is an index used by Administrative Agent and Lenders for the determination of a rate of interest on loans and the Term SOFR Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Administrative Agent or any Lender on other loans to its customers. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may make loans to other customers based upon other rates of interest. Administrative Agent will inform ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the then current Term SOFR Rate from time to time upon request by Borrowers.

(b) Determination of Term SOFR Rate. Administrative Agent shall determine the Term SOFR Rate from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Conforming Changes Adjustment. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR and the Term SOFR Rate, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any Borrower or any Lender or any other party to this Agreement. Administrative Agent will notify Borrowers and Lenders from time to time of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate. The term “Conforming Changes” means, with respect to either the use or administration of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Transition Event, any technical,

Page 40

administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day”, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(d) Unavailability of Term SOFR Rate. If, in connection with the implementation and use of the Term SOFR Rate: (i) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the “Term SOFR Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, (ii) Administrative Agent determines that the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making, maintaining or funding the Loan, or (iii) Administrative Agent determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund loans or advances whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate; then, upon notice of any such occurrence or determination by Administrative Agent to Borrowers, any obligation of Lenders to make available the Term SOFR Rate, and any right of Borrowers to use the Term SOFR Rate, shall be suspended unless and until Administrative Agent revokes such notice.

(e) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will notify Borrowers of (i) the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event or the implementation of any change to the Benchmark Rate resulting from any term or provision of this Section 2.21 and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes implemented in accordance with Section 2.21(c). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.21, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion and without consent from any Borrower or any Lender or other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, except, in each case, as may be expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.21.

Article III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrowers or Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as

Page 41

determined by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If Borrowers or Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Administrative Agent or Lenders, as the case may be, receives or receive an amount equal to the sum it or they would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrowers shall, and do hereby agree to, indemnify each of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that Borrowers shall have no liability hereunder in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties, interest or other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or such Lender, respectively. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify Borrowers and Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Borrowers or Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Borrowers or Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender, to Borrowers or Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due

Page 42

to Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers or Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrowers, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and to Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrowers, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Borrowers are residents for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which

Page 43

the United States is a party,

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(3) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(a) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(b) of the Code, or (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(c) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that Borrowers or Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers, or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrowers, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender

Page 44

to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.

3.02 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the Loan made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) of making or maintaining any such Loan, then, upon the written request of such Lender made in accordance with subsection (c) below, Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the applicable Lending Office of such Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loan made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, then from time to time, following written request by such Lender in accordance with subsection (c) below, Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for such reduction.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, stating in reasonable detail the basis for such compensation and the method of computation, and delivered to Borrowers is required in order for such Lender to be compensated under such subsection and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof, absent manifest error or a good faith dispute. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.02, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost, charge or reduction under Section 3.02(b) if it shall not at the time be the general policy of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of its other lending agreements generally, and each Lender shall in good faith endeavor to allocate

Page 45

increased costs or reductions fairly among all of its affected commitments and credit extensions (whether or not it seeks compensation from Borrowers).

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, not to exceed six months).

3.03 Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, or Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignments (excluding any costs related to a physical relocation of a Lending Office).

3.04 Survival. All of Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive repayment of all Obligations hereunder and any resignation of Administrative Agent.

Article IV

The applicable Borrower shall use the amounts in the Loss Proceeds Account in respect of such Casualty Loss to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the applicable Project as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such Casualty Loss within three hundred sixty (360) days after receipt of applicable Permits for such restoration (with such work to commence within ninety (90) days after receipt of applicable Permits) (as such period may be extended by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) from the date of such Casualty Loss, and any withdrawals from such Loss Proceeds Account shall be subject to the satisfaction of all conditions imposed by Administrative Agent using Administrative Agent’s standard construction loan advance procedures, including, without limitation, the requirement that any shortfall shall

first be funded by the applicable Borrower. Subject to the availability of sufficient funds as above provided, each applicable Borrower hereby covenants to diligently prosecute all such restoration, repairs or replacement of the applicable Project, and agrees that all such work shall be conducted pursuant to written contracts (which contracts, if the work in question will cost in excess of $1,000,000, must be approved by Administrative Agent in writing) and free and clear of all mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens or Lien claims arising from such work (unless the same are satisfied or bonded in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent). Any amount remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account in respect of the subject Casualty Loss that is not so used to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the applicable Project within such three hundred sixty (360) day time period (as such period may be extended by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) shall be (A) used to make a mandatory prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii) of this Agreement or (B) with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, retained by such Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.24 or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Extraordinary Receipts will be paid to Administrative Agent (to the extent not on deposit in the Loss Proceeds Accounts), and all Extraordinary Receipts (including all amounts on deposit in the Loss Proceeds Accounts) may be withheld or applied by Administrative Agent in any manner Administrative Agent so elects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.24, the fact that one or more of the Recorded Property Exception Documents are or may be in conflict with the requirements of this Section 6.24 shall not result in non-compliance with this Section 6.24.

6.25 Condemnation. Promptly upon any Loan Party obtaining knowledge of the institution or the threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of a Project or any part thereof, Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact. The applicable Borrower shall then file or defend its rights thereunder and prosecute the same with due diligence to its final disposition and shall cause any awards or settlements to be paid over to Administrative Agent for disposition pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.25. The applicable Borrower may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Administrative Agent shall be entitled to participate in and be represented therein by counsel of its choice, at such Borrower’s cost, and such Borrower will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent such instruments as may be requested by it from time to time to permit such participation. If a Project or any part thereof is taken or diminished in value, or if a consent settlement is entered, by or under threat of such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to the applicable Borrower by virtue of its interest in such Project shall be and hereby is assigned, transferred and set over unto Administrative Agent to be held by it, in trust, subject to the lien and security interest of the applicable Mortgage. If a Project, or any part thereof, shall be condemned or otherwise taken for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, or be transferred in lieu thereof (each, a “Condemnation Event”), all damages or other amounts awarded for the taking of, or injury to, such Project shall be paid to Administrative Agent for deposit into the Loss Proceeds Account, provided that Extraordinary Receipts of less than or equal to $750,000 in the aggregate during any 12 month period received in connection with a Condemnation Event shall be paid to and held in an Account of such Borrower subject to an Account Control Agreement. Such proceeds paid to any Borrower shall be used by such Borrower to repair or restore the applicable Project, with all remaining proceeds being (a) used to make a mandatory prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii) hereof (after payment of the costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with collection of such amounts) or (b) with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, retained by such Borrower. Administrative Agent shall have the right to either (i) place all Extraordinary Receipts received in connection with such Condemnation Event in excess of $750,000 in the aggregate during any 12 month period received in connection with a Condemnation Event in the Loss Proceeds Account for the benefit of Administrative Agent and such Borrower to be used to restore, repair or replace and rebuild the applicable Project as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such Condemnation Event or (ii) in the case of a Condemnation Event of the entirety of a Project,

Page 70

apply all proceeds in connection with such Condemnation Event to the payment of the Obligations in such order as Administrative Agent may elect (after payment of the costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with collection of such amounts). The applicable Borrower shall use the Extraordinary Receipts in the Loss Proceeds Accounts in respect of the subject Condemnation Event to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the applicable Project as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such taking within three hundred sixty (360) days after receipt of applicable Permits for such restoration (with such work to commence within ninety (90) days after receipt of applicable Permits) (as such period may be extended by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion), and any withdrawals from the Loss Proceeds Account shall be subject to the satisfaction of all conditions imposed by Administrative Agent using Administrative Agent’s standard construction loan advance procedures. Subject to the availability of sufficient funds as above provided, the applicable Borrower hereby covenants to diligently prosecute all such restoration, repairs or replacement of the applicable Project, and agrees that all such work shall be conducted pursuant to written contracts (which contracts, if the work in question will cost in excess of $1,000,000.00, must be approved by Administrative Agent in writing) and free and clear of all mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens or Lien claims arising from such work (unless the same are satisfied or bonded in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent). Any amount remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account in respect of the subject condemnation event that is not so used to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the applicable Project within such three hundred sixty (360) day time period (as such period may be extended by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) shall be (A) used to make a mandatory prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii) hereof (after payment of the costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with collection of such amounts) or (B) with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, retained by the applicable Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.25, the fact that one or more of the Recorded Property Exception Documents are or may be in conflict with the requirements of this Section 6.25 shall not result in non-compliance with this Section 6.25.

6.26 Ground Leases.

No Borrower will amend any Material Lease without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Borrower will amend any Lease in effect as of the Closing Date to extend the term to more than five (5) years from the date of such amendment or grant to the Tenant thereunder a renewal option or to expand the premises leased to such Tenant or any Affiliate of such Tenant to more than 10,000 square feet, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Borrower shall collect any Rent more than one (1) month in advance or, without limitation of the foregoing, amend or modify any Lease in any material respect or hold any security or other deposit under a Lease, except in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable Lease. With respect to any written request (including an e-mail request) by any Borrower to Administrative Agent for consent to a Material Lease (or any amendment or modification thereto), Administrative Agent shall either approve or deny such request within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such request, and if Administrative Agent fails to respond to Borrower within such ten (10) day period, the request shall be deemed to have been denied.

(a) immediately cancel any or all then outstanding Commitments of Lenders, which cancellation shall, in the event of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), be automatic, without further act of Administrative Agent or any Lender;

(b) declare the unpaid amount of the Loan (including the principal thereof), any interest accrued thereon, any Minimum Earnings Amounts (determined as of such date as if the Loan were being voluntarily prepaid or repaid as of such date) and any other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers and each other Loan Party;

(c) exercise, on behalf of itself and Lenders, any or all rights and remedies available to it or Lenders under the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable Law; and

(d) set off and apply all amounts in the Accounts to the Obligations (and/or direct each bank that is a party to an Account Control Agreement to transfer to Administrative Agent or its designee) all funds on deposit in or credited to any or all of the Accounts or being held for deposit to any or all of the Accounts, in each case without further notice to or consent of any Borrower or other Loan Party;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or otherwise upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), all of the unpaid principal amount of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, all Minimum Earnings Amounts and all Obligations shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without further act of Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person.

EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE MINIMUM EARNINGS AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY OF THE LOAN OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR ANY PORTION THEREOF. Each Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Minimum Earnings Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel;

Page 80

(B) THE MINIMUM EARNINGS AMOUNT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSIDERED TO BE, UNMATURED INTEREST ON THE LOAN OR OTHER AMOUNT OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND NO LOAN PARTY SHALL ARGUE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, THAT THE MINIMUM EARNINGS AMOUNT CONSTITUTES UNMATURED INTEREST ON THE LOAN OR OTHER AMOUNT OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS; (C) the Minimum Earnings Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (D) there has been a course of conduct between and among Administrative Agent, Lenders, Borrowers and the other Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Minimum Earnings Amount; (E) each Loan Party shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; and (F) in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages, the parties hereto mutually agree that the Minimum Earnings Amount is a reasonable calculation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ lost profits as a result of any such acceleration and not a penalty.

8.03 Appropriate Proceedings; Remedies Cumulative. Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and Secured Parties, may protect and enforce its and their respective rights under the Loan Documents by any appropriate proceedings, including proceedings for specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document. All rights, remedies and powers conferred upon Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or by applicable Laws shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or powers available to such Person or any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable Law. All notice and cure periods provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall run concurrently with any notice or cure periods provided by applicable Law.

8.04 Application of Funds. Subject to applicable Laws, after the exercise of any rights or remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loan has automatically become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest, the Minimum Earnings Amount on the Loan and other Obligations, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting the unpaid principal amount of the Loan and all other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after Payment in Full, to Borrowers or as otherwise required by applicable Laws.

Article IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints CLMG Corp. to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions, provided however, each of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall be entitled to rely on any document that is signed by Administrative Agent as authorized by all necessary actions on the part of Lenders and shall be conclusively presumed to be the act and deed of Lenders.

(b) Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on any Collateral granted by any Borrower or other Loan Party to secure any of the Obligations or any portion thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower, other Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

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

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided

Page 82

for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to any liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower, other Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(e) shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender; and

(f) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrowers or the other Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of

Page 83

Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers (provided no Default then exists), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrowers and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that, in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Until Borrowers receive written notice that Administrative Agent has been replaced, Borrowers may (without inquiry) rely on all actions taken or consents given by CLMG Corp. as “Administrative Agent” hereunder.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loan hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement, instrument or other document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

Page 84

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, if Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.

9.09 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each of Lenders irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and Payment in Full of all Obligations, (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01.

(b) Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 9.09. In each case as specified in this Section 9.09, Administrative Agent will, at Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09.

10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by Required Lenders and Borrowers or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) Notices Generally. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or permitted under any Loan Document shall be in writing, unless otherwise specifically provided in such Loan Document (provided that Administrative Agent may give telephonic notices to the other Secured Parties), shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by delivery service with proof of delivery or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, or by electronic mail, (a) if to Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, in accordance with the contact information of Borrowers specified below, (b) if to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the contact information of Administrative Agent specified below, and (c) if to a Lender, in accordance with the contact information for such Lender specified below or in the applicable Assignment and Assumption of such Lender (in each case as

Each other Lender may change its information for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Administrative Agent. In addition, each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to notify Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.

Borrowers shall indemnify Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.10), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to

Page 88

Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent of Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by Required Lenders.

Page 90

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loan at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment under the Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of any Commitment (which for this purpose includes the Loan outstanding thereunder) or, if such Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the portion of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Loan, unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment, except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been given if not given within five (5) Business Days after such request for consent is sent to Borrowers) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to Lender or an

Page 91

Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund or (3) the assignment is required by a regulatory authority, self-regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority; and

(B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the Loan, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) the Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to any Borrower or other Loan Party or its Subsidiary or Affiliate.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Sections 10.04 and 10.09, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender and, if the assignment is not of the assignor ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entire interest in the Loan, a replacement Note to the assignor Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

(c) Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Loan Parties and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Page 92

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrowers, any other Loan Party or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Loan Party) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender selling such participation in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement, instrument or other document pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement, instrument or other document may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of its Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article III than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold by such Lender to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors,

Page 93

officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of any Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrowers and not then known to be under any duty of confidentiality to a Loan Party or its Affiliate.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all material, non-public or proprietary information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of any Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrowers’ Representative and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall

Page 94

be applied to the outstanding principal of the Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder, in each case, provided, that Loan Parties are not thereby required to make any greater payments hereunder than would be required prior to such action.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other agreement, instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of the advance of the Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13 Borrowers’ Representative. Each of Borrowers hereby appoints Borrowers’ Representative to act as its exclusive agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including without limitation, all matters related to any borrowing of or any repayment of the Loan). Each of Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that (a) Borrowers’ Representative may execute such agreements, instruments and other documents on behalf of any Borrower as Borrowers’ Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated under all terms of any such agreement, instrument or other document executed by Borrowers’ Representative on such Borrower’s behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Borrowers’ Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each of Borrowers, and (c) each of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be permitted to rely on any agreement, instrument or other document executed by Borrowers’ Representative on behalf of Borrowers (or any of them).

10.22 Broker. Except for Exclusive Placement Agent, Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that no Borrowers have dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loan.

10.23 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) All Obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower, each as principal and primary obligor. Anything contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder, solely to the extent that such Borrower did not receive proceeds of the Loan from any borrowing hereunder, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its Obligations subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under §548 of the Bankruptcy Code of

Page 99

the United States, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law, or any other Debtor Relief Laws, to the extent applicable to the Obligations of such Borrower (collectively, the ‘‘Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to (i) applicable Law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Borrower and other affiliates of any Loan Party of Obligations arising under guarantees by such parties.

(b) Subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this Section 10.23, without limitation to any and all of the obligations and liabilities of Borrowers to Administrative Agent and Lenders, each Borrower hereby agrees that, if and to the extent that a Borrower (whether in its capacity as a borrower or a guarantor or otherwise) shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Borrower hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Nonetheless, each Borrower shall remain liable to Administrative Agent and Lenders, on a joint and several basis, for the full amount of the Obligations.

(c) Until Payment in Full of the Obligations, each Borrower shall withhold exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution or any other right to enforce any remedy which it now has or may hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Obligations. Each Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the withholding of its rights of subrogation, contribution and remedies as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any such rights such Borrower may have against any other Borrower, any collateral or security or any other Loan Party shall be junior and subordinate to any rights that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such other Borrower, any such collateral or security or any such other Loan Party.

(d) Each Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of Secured Parties: (i) any right to require any Secured Parties, as a condition of payment or performance by such Borrower, to (A) proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any other Borrower or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any other Person, including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement, instrument or other document relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any other Borrower from any cause other than Payment in Full of the Obligations; (iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respect more burdensome than that of the principal; (iv) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to willful misconduct; (v) (A) any principles or provisions of Laws, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s Obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments, recharacterization and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party

Page 100

protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any Property subject thereto; (vi) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement, instrument or other document related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to such Borrower and any right to consent to any thereof; (vii) any defense based upon any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents and (viii) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

(e) The Obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, be affected by (i) the failure of Administrative Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by Administrative Agent for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Collateral or any other Loan Party.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, each of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of any Borrower or other Loan Party and any circumstances affecting the ability of any Borrower or other Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(g) Each Borrower further agrees that its Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar matter of or affecting any Borrower or other Loan Party or its property or otherwise.

10.24 Borrowing Request. Administrative Agent may (or may not in its sole discretion) request that Borrowers execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, on or before the Closing Date, a borrowing request relating to the Loan in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and, if such request is made, Borrowers shall promptly comply with such request.
