(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrowers or the Required Lenders shall so request, Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) Borrowers shall provide to Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

1.06 Joint and Several Obligations.

(a) All representations contained herein shall be deemed individually made by each Borrower, and each of the covenants, agreements, and obligations set forth herein shall be deemed to be the joint and separate covenants, agreements, and obligations of each Borrower. Any notice, request, consent, report, or other information or agreement delivered to any Loan Party by any Borrower shall be deemed to be ratified by, consented to, and also delivered by the other Borrowers. Each Borrower recognizes and agrees that each covenant and agreement of a “Borrower” and “Borrowers” in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document shall create a joint and several obligation of such entities, which may be enforced against such entities jointly, or against each entity separately.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees: (i) that it is jointly and severally liable to Administrative Agent and Lenders for the full and prompt payment of the Obligations and the performance by each Borrower of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Obligations; and (iii) as a

primary obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders on demand for and against any loss (including losses due to Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s negligence but excluding losses determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or any Lender) actually incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any of the obligations of any one or more of Borrowers being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable, or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person.

(c) At any time a payment in respect of the Obligations is made, the right of contribution of each Borrower against each other Borrower shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Borrower to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Obligations. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Borrower that results in the aggregate payments made by such Borrower in respect of the Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Borrower’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Borrowers in respect of the Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Borrower shall have a right of contribution against each other Borrower who has made payments in respect of the Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Borrower’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Borrowers in respect of the Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Borrower and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Borrowers multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Borrower. A Borrower’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that no Borrower may take any action to enforce such right until the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Borrower’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 1.06(c) against any other Borrower shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Borrower’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Obligations. As used in this Section 1.06(c): (i) each Borrower’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Borrower by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Borrowers; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Borrower shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Borrower and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Borrower shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Borrower’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Obligations) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Borrower that is released pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 1.06(c), and at the time of any such release, if the released Borrower had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed changed to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Borrowers shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Borrowers. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 1.06(c), each Borrower who makes any payment in respect of the Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower in respect of such payment until all of the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash. Each of the Borrowers recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Borrower has the right to waive its contribution right against any Borrower to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Borrower would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.

(d) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Secured Parties to: (i) proceed against any of the Borrowers, any Guarantors, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any of the Borrowers, any Guarantors, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Secured Parties’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any of the Borrowers, any Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any of the Borrowers, any Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any of the Borrowers other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral serving as security held by Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Parties may have against any of the Borrowers or any other Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Each Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Parties, even though such election (such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations) operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Borrower against any of the other Borrowers, any Guarantors, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person or any security. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower further waives:

(i) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any Principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any Principal of any other Borrower;

(ii) 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 any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;

(iii) any defense based upon any failure by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to obtain collateral for the Obligations or failure by Administrative Agent to perfect a Lien on any Collateral;

(iv) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind except as set forth in the Loan Documents;

(v) any defense based upon any failure of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral to any other Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any Collateral;

(vi) any defense based upon any failure of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, including, without limitation, any failure of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any Collateral;

(vii) any defense based upon any election by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, in any bankruptcy proceeding, of the application or non-application of Section 1111 (6)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;

(viii) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(ix) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;

(x) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(xi) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any reason;

(xii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations;

(xiii) all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because any of the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (A) Administrative Agent may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (B) if Administrative Agent forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (1) except as provided by applicable law, the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (2) Administrative Agent or Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if Administrative Agent or Lenders, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, have impaired, limited or destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower; and

(xiv) any claim or other right that Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the following: (A) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (B) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.

(e) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by real property located in the State of California, such Borrower shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding foreclosure on such real property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Borrower’s or any Secured Party’s right to proceed against any Borrower, any Guarantors, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person.

(f) Each Borrower hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) all rights and benefits under Section 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Borrower hereby further waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, all rights and benefits which might otherwise be available to such Borrower under Sections 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2821, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code.

(g) Until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each Borrower waives its rights of subrogation and reimbursement and any other rights and defenses available to such Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, including, without limitation, (1) any

defenses such Borrower may have by reason of an election of remedies by the Secured Parties and (2) any rights or defenses such Borrower may have by reason of protection afforded to any Borrower pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of California limiting or discharging such Borrower’s indebtedness, including, without limitation, Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. In furtherance of such provisions, each Borrower hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Secured Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure, destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(h) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Party nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets in favor of such Borrower or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Borrower under the Loan Documents or the obligation of such Borrower hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that such Borrower may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which such Borrower hereby waives.

(i) Each Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in this Section 1.06(d) is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

The initial Eurodollar Rate Loans and any conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The initial Base Rate

Loans and each conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrowers are requesting the initial making of Loans, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Loans, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, and (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted. If Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if Borrowers fail to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Eurodollar Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of the initial Loans, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Funding Date. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02, Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrowers not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Funding Date in like funds as received by Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by Borrowers.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrowers and Lenders of any change in DBNY’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to the initial Loans, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Facility.

2.03 Optional Prepayments. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.03, Borrowers may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (c) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Facility). If such notice is given by Borrowers, Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any

prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro rata basis, and each such prepayment paid to Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the Facility.

2.04 Repayment of Loans; Amortization. Borrowers shall:

(a) repay the Outstanding Amount on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning on the last day of September, 2017, in an amount equal to $375,000; provided that there shall be credited against such payments, in inverse order of maturity, the amount of any optional prepayments made by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.03; and

(b) on the Stated Maturity Date, repay in full the Outstanding Amount, together with all other Obligations.

2.05 Interest.

(a) Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; (ii) if any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; (iii) upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; and (iv) accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. 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.

(a) Borrowers shall pay fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender a fee for the period extending from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) September 30, 2014, computed at a rate per annum equal to 0.75% of the Commitment of such Lender. Such fee shall be due and payable on the earlier of (x) the Funding Date and (y) September 30, 2014, fully earned when paid and not refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.07 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.09, bear interest for one day. 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 Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender 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 Loans made by Lenders to Borrowers and the interest and the other 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 Lender 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 Lender made through Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans 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. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 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 following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Presumption 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 the Lenders 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 the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agree 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.

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 12.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 12.04(c) 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 Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 12.04(c).

(d) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(e) 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, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

2.10 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 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 Facility due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facility due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facility due and payable to all the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of the Facility owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facility owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facility owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans 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 Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

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

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

Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any

such Borrower’s right of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.12 [Intentionally Deleted]

2.13 Collateral Property Releases. Borrowers may obtain the release of a Collateral Property (other than the Union Square Hotel Property) from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon (and related Collateral Documents) and the release of Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Collateral Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), but only upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(a) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would occur after giving effect to the release of such Collateral Property;

(d) Administrative Agent shall have received a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in an amount equal to any prepayment of the Outstanding Amount which Borrowers elect to make in connection with such release, together with (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of such prepayment, (ii) any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.05, if any, and (iii) all other sums due under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents in connection with such release;

(e) Borrowers shall submit to Administrative Agent, not less than five (5) days prior to the date of such release, (i) a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for such Collateral Property for execution by Administrative Agent in a form or forms appropriate (x) in the state in which such Collateral Property is located and (y) for the type of Collateral to be released, which shall contain standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders, (ii) all other documentation Administrative Agent reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrowers in connection with such release, (iii) an officer’s certificate (A) certifying that (x) such documentation is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (y) the release will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Collateral Properties subject to the Loan Documents not being released) and (B) setting forth in reasonable detail Borrowers’ calculation of the Loan to Value Ratio and the Debt Yield for purposes of Section 2.13(c); and

(f) Administrative Agent shall have received payment of all of its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses, including due diligence review costs and reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the release of such Collateral Property and the review and approval of the documents and information required to be delivered in connection therewith.

2.14 Release on Payment in Full. Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrowers, upon payment in full of all Obligations, release the Lien of the Mortgages and any other Loan Document on each Collateral Property not theretofore released.

2.15 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 12.01.

(b) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; third, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

2.16 Extension of Stated Maturity Date. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the then effective Stated Maturity Date (each such date, the “Extension Effective Date”), Borrowers may on two (2) occasions extend the then effective Stated Maturity Date to a date that is not later than one (1) year after the then effective Stated Maturity Date, upon:

(a) delivery of a written extension request to Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days, but no more than ninety (90) days, prior to the then effective Stated Maturity Date;

(b) delivery to Administrative Agent of an officer’s certificate, dated as of the applicable Extension Effective Date, certifying that (i) all representations and warranties of Borrowers set forth in this Agreement are/shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Extension Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties were made as of a specified date, in which case such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the applicable Extension Effective Date after giving effect to the extension of the then effective Stated Maturity Date on such date; and (iii) the calculations attached, and made in reasonable detail, in support of the determinations made in clauses (c) through (f), below;

(c) the Debt Yield, calculated on a pro-forma basis as of the applicable Extension Effective Date, being equal to or greater than twelve percent (12%);

(d) delivery to Administrative Agent of Interest Rate Cap Documentation with respect to the Outstanding Amount on the applicable Extension Effective Date (after giving effect to any optional prepayment being made in connection with such Extension) in which Administrative Agent, for Lenders and itself, has a first priority security interest, which caps one-month LIBOR for the applicable Extension period to produce an implied Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1;

(e) payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of a facility extension fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Outstanding Amount as of the applicable Extension Effective Date (after giving effect to any optional prepayment of the Outstanding Amount being made in connection with such Extension);

(f) payment by Borrowers of all other reasonable fees and expenses to Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent then due as of the applicable Extension Effective Date; and

(g) execution (and if required by local law, recordation) of any extension agreement in form as required by Administrative Agent with respect to each Collateral Property and endorsements and other assurances as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to conform the Title Policies (including “datedown” endorsements, to the extent available in the state in which the applicable Collateral Property is located) and amendment to any Mortgages of the remaining Collateral Properties to reflect any change in respective Appraised Values of such Collateral Properties (together with payment by Borrowers of any fees or expenses, including any additional mortgage tax, in connection therewith).

Each Extension shall be evidenced by delivery of written confirmation of the same by Administrative Agent to Borrowers. In no event shall the Stated Maturity Date (as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 2.16) occur later than July 21, 2019. During any Extension of the term of the Loans, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents shall continue to apply, except that Borrowers shall have no further right to extend the term of the Loans after the second Extension.

2.17 Appraisals. The Appraisal for any one or more of the Collateral Properties may be updated (i) at the expense of Borrowers, at any time that an Event of Default is continuing and Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders desire to update such Appraisal and (ii) at the expense of the Lenders, at any other time that Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders desire to update such Appraisal.

2.18 Interest Rate Cap Arrangements. Within 30 days after the Funding Date, Borrowers shall enter into interest rate cap arrangements with respect to the Facility with a counterparty reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, pursuant to documentation which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent (“Interest Rate Cap Documentation”), which shall cap one month LIBOR (i) through the second anniversary of the Effective Date at 5.50% and (ii) at a rate that caps one month LIBOR at the calculation date to produce an implied Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1 for the third year of the term of the Facility or any Extension of such term. The Interest Rate Cap Documentation shall contain such representations and covenants by Borrowers with respect to such interest rate cap arrangements as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and Borrowers shall grant to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in such documentation a first-priority security interest in the interest rate cap and such documentation.

ARTICLE III

CASH MANAGEMENT

3.01 Accounts.

(a) Borrowers acknowledge and confirm that (i) within ninety (90) days following the Funding Date, each Borrower shall establish or cause its Manager to establish, and each Borrower covenants that it shall at all times thereafter maintain, or cause its Managers to maintain, (A) one or more accounts at one or more banking institutions reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (individually, a “Property Account” and all of such accounts established by Borrowers, all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such accounts or funds therein, collectively the “Property

Accounts”) for the collection and deposit of all revenues from operations of such Borrower’s Collateral Property, and (ii) not later than the Funding Date, the Borrowers shall establish and Borrowers covenant that they shall at all times thereafter maintain an account at DBNY or such other banking institution reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent for the deposit of Excess Cash Flow as required pursuant to Section 3.03(a) below (such account, all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such account or funds therein, collectively the “Sweep Account”). The Property Accounts (other than the Property Accounts with respect to the Union Square Hotel Property (the “Union Square Property Account”)) and the Sweep Account shall each be subject to account control agreements reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Property Account shall be opened by the applicable Manager as agent for the applicable Operating Lessee and in the name of such Operating Lessee (or, with respect to the Union Square Hotel Property, in the name of the applicable Manager) for the benefit of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders and itself, provided that such Operating Lessee shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such account for all purposes, including for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. The Sweep Account shall be in the name of “FelCor TRS Holdings, L.L.C.” for the benefit of “Agent”, provided that Borrowers shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such account for all purposes, including for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes.

(c) The Sweep Account and each Property Account (other than the Union Square Property Accounts) shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Administrative Agent, subject to the terms of each Management Agreement and the respective Manager’s Consent and Subordination of Management Agreement and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including without limitation Sections 3.02(d) and 3.02(e) below), neither Borrowers, any Manager, nor any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrowers or any Manager shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.

(d) Borrowers agree to pay (i) all fees, expenses and charges (which fees, expenses and charges shall be subject to change from time to time) in connection with administering and maintaining the Property Accounts, and administering and processing all items for payment therefrom, and (ii) the reasonable and customary fees, expenses and charges (which fees, expenses and charges shall be subject to change from time to time) in connection with the Sweep Account and administering and processing all items for payment therefrom.

(e) Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the Property Accounts and the Sweep Account, and administering and maintaining such accounts, as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Except as may be otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in writing, Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies.

3.02 Deposits and Withdrawals. Each Borrower represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) It shall, or shall cause its Manager to, promptly deposit all revenues from operations of its Collateral Property, other than cash which is retained for xxxxx cash (provided that such xxxxx cash does not exceed $150,000 in the aggregate for all of the Collateral Properties), into the Property Accounts for such Collateral Property. If any sums required to be deposited into any Property Account as provided in the immediately preceding sentence are received by any Borrower or any Manager, such Person shall deposit such sums in the applicable Property Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt.

(b) All revenues from operations of the Collateral Properties shall be deemed collateral security for payment of the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of

Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders and itself and, other than as described in Section 3.02(c), shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of any Borrower, Manager or other Person.

(c) Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, so long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, no Borrower, Manager or any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts, other than the Property Accounts, into which revenues from operations of the Collateral Properties are deposited. The foregoing clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.02 and the immediately preceding sentence in this clause (c) shall not prohibit (i) any Borrower or its Manager from establishing and utilizing one or more other accounts for the disbursement or retention of funds initially deposited in its Property Accounts or (ii) any Manager from commingling funds initially deposited in its Property Accounts with funds from other hotels managed by such Manager.

(d) Subject to Section 3.02(e) and Section 10.03, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing each Manager shall be permitted to make withdrawals and receive transfers of funds from its Property Accounts, and use all such funds for all purposes, with respect to such Borrower and its Manager, not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and, with respect to such Manager, for all purposes permitted under its Management Agreement; provided, however, that (i) during any Cash Sweep Period no Incentive Management Fee shall be paid under this Section 3.02(d) to any Manager (other than the Manager under the Union Square Hotel Management Agreement) and (ii) this Section 3.02(d) shall not limit or otherwise affect any application of funds as described in Section 10.03.

(e) Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event and continuing during any Cash Sweep Period, Borrowers irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to instruct each Manager to transfer, or cause to be transferred, no less frequently than once a month, by wire transfer or other method of transfer mutually agreeable to such Manager and Administrative Agent of immediately available funds, all Excess Cash Flow to the Sweep Account. If any sums required to be deposited into the Sweep Account as provided in the immediately preceding sentence are received by any Borrower, it shall deposit such funds in the Sweep Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. During a Cash Sweep Period which is not due to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent and Borrowers agree that Administrative Agent shall disburse or reimburse Borrowers from funds in the Sweep Account for payment from time to time of the following items (to the extent not payable and paid by the Managers pursuant to Section 3.02(d)), in the priority set forth below:

(i) first, to Borrowers to pay Taxes and Other Charges then due and payable upon presentation to Administrative Agent of bills evidencing such Taxes and Other Charges;

(ii) second, to Borrowers to pay the Insurance Premiums then due and payable (or, if Borrowers participate in a blanket insurance coverage policy of FelCor Trust, then to Borrowers to pay or reimburse them for their pro rata share of such expenses under such blanket insurance policy), which shall be disbursed upon evidence of payment of such Insurance Premiums;

(iii) third, to Administrative Agent to pay Debt Service;

(iv) fourth, to Borrowers to pay any Incentive Management Fees then due and payable under any Management Agreement (other than the Union Square Hotel Management Agreement);

(v) fifth, to Borrowers to pay FF&E Expenditures as set forth in the then Approved Annual Budget and as documented in a manner reasonably requested by Administrative Agent;

(vi) sixth, to Borrowers (A) to pay (x) expenses which are payable under any Management Agreement but were not paid by the applicable Manager and (y) expenses which are not payable under any Management Agreement but relate to the Collateral Properties and are approved by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and (B) to reimburse Borrower for any expenses previously paid by it which are described in subclauses (i) - (vi)(A); and

(vii) the balance, if any, to remain in the Sweep Account as security for the Obligations.

3.03 Excess Cash Flow Sweep Cure.

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrowers deliver to Lender a certificate certifying as such, a Cash Sweep Period shall terminate, and all funds on deposit in the Sweep Account at the time of such release shall be released to Borrowers, upon:

(i) Borrowers’ delivery to Administrative Agent of a certificate of a Responsible Officer, financial statements, and other deliveries demonstrating that the Debt Yield as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter is equal to or greater than eight and one half percent (8.5%), or, if the Cash Sweep Period was triggered by a Cash Sweep Event (other than an Event of Default) that occurred in any fiscal quarter prior to the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, demonstrating that the Debt Yield as of the last day of two (2) most recent consecutive fiscal quarters equals or exceeds eight and one half percent (8.5%); or

(ii) (the prepayment of the Outstanding Amount in an amount sufficient to cause the Debt Yield as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter to equal or exceed eight and one-half percent (8.5%) after giving effect to such payment.

(b) Any interest and other income on any funds deposited into the Sweep Account shall be credited to and accrue to the benefit of Borrowers, shall be added to and become a part of the funds held in the Sweep Account and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the Sweep Account. The Sweep Account or any funds deposited therein shall be maintained in interest-bearing accounts to the extent available; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may elect not to hold any or all of such funds in an interest-bearing account. In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to select any particular account or credit funds therein at the highest business savings or comparable rate of interest, or use any account deposits in which would be insured by the Federal Depositary Insurance Corporation or other Governmental Authority.

3.04 Security Interest; Cash Management Account Generally.

(a) Each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders and itself, a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders and itself, each Property Account (other than the Union Square Property Accounts), the Sweep Account, and any and all funds now or hereafter maintained therein and any and all “Investment Property” (as defined in the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction) contained therein as collateral security for payment and performance of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 3.04 and other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended to give Administrative Agent “control” of the Property Accounts and the Sweep Account within the meaning of the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Each Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to file any financing statement or statements required by Administrative Agent to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with each Property Account and the Sweep Account. Each Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrowers, such Borrower will

promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or the priority thereof, to obtain or preserve the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

(c) All disbursements of funds (i) from the Property Accounts or the Sweep Account during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) from the Sweep Account upon request from Borrower during a Cash Sweep Period when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case as contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrowers, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Administrative Agent of any remedies against any Collateral Property unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Administrative Agent shall have expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to any Property Account or the Sweep Account.

(d) In the event that funds are released to any Borrower for one or more specific purposes either (i) from a Property Account or the Sweep Account during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) from the Sweep Account during a Cash Sweep Period when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such Borrower shall use, and cause its Manager to use, any such funds released to any of them or at any of their direction solely for the applicable purposes for which such funds were released.

(e) Funds deposited to any Property Account or the Sweep Account shall not constitute escrow or trust funds.

(f) No Borrower shall, nor shall it permit its Manager to, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Property Account or the Sweep Account, or the funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted to Administrative Agent, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC financing statements, except those naming Administrative Agent as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(g) Borrowers will defend the right, title and interest of Administrative Agent in and to each Property Account and the Sweep Account and the funds deposited therein against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(h) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty as to any funds deposited in any Property Account, the Sweep Account, or Investment Property in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. In no event shall Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any funds or Investment Property, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any such Affiliate, agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to Section 3.02(d), Administrative Agent may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to each Property Account and the Sweep Account. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to Section 3.02(d), Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion apply amounts held in any Property Account and the Sweep Account to pay for the costs of protecting or preserving the Liens under the Loan Documents and/or the value of the collateral securing the Obligations, and for such other purposes as Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion, including for any of the following purposes: (i) repayment of the Obligations

including principal prepayments; (ii) reimbursement of Administrative Agent for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent as a result of such Event of Default; (iii) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; or (iv) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; provided, however, that any application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to any Property Account and the Sweep Account and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s Lien. Except as provided in this Article III, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Administrative Agent to apply all or any portion of any Property Account or the Sweep Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Obligations, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Administrative Agent’s rights to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgages.

ARTICLE IV

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(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 law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of 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.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any

Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.01, such Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by any Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 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 reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

1. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

2. executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

3. 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 acceptable to Administrative Agent to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN;

4. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate acceptable to Administrative Agent, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate acceptable to Administrative Agent on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 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 reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of 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 such Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender if Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

4.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any 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 Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrowers through Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

4.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrowers may revoke any pending request for the Loans or conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

4.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(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 (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 4.04(e));

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate 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 4.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such 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 Commitment of such Lender or the Loans 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 such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(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 and delivered to Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(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 nine (9) months 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 Lender’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 nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or

including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided Borrowers shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

4.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrowers pursuant to Section 12.14;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 4.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

4.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 4.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 4.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be 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 assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority

for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 12.14.

4.07 Survival. All of Borrowers’ obligations under this Article IV shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

6.02 Proceedings. Each Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been (or will be) duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Borrower party thereto and constitute (or, when executed and delivered, will constitute) legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable Debtor Relief Laws, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

6.03 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Borrower party thereto (with respect to the Collateral Documents, in each case, as of the Funding Date) will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other

than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of its Organizational Documents, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement, franchise agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which any Borrower is a party or by which any of such Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Authority or body having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any of the Collateral Properties or any of such Borrower’s other assets, or any license or other approval required to operate the Collateral Properties, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Borrower of this Agreement or by Borrowers of any other Loan Document (with respect to the Collateral Documents, in each case, as of the Funding Date) has been obtained and is in full force and effect, in each case if such Borrower’s noncompliance with this Section 6.03 would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.04 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting any Borrower or any Collateral Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against such Borrower or any Collateral Property, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.05 Agreements. No Borrower is party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or cause a Material Property Event.

Each Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loans will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Borrower intends to incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such Borrower).

There is no fact presently known to any Borrower which has not been disclosed to Administrative Agent which would have a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event.

6.08 No Plan Assets. No Borrower is a Plan and none of the assets of any Borrower constitute or will constitute “Plan Assets” of one or more Plans. In addition, (a) no Borrower is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with any Borrower are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Since the date of the most recent such financial statements supplied to Administrative Agent, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrowers from that set forth in said financial statements.

6.11 Condemnation. Except as provided on Schedule 6.11, no Condemnation or other similar proceeding has been commenced or, to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Collateral Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Collateral Property.

6.12 Federal Reserve Regulations.

Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. To the extent that any Borrower’s noncompliance with this Section 7.01(a) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) such Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises, and comply, in all material respects, with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and its Collateral Property; (ii) such Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its

The final budget and Schedule 7.10(d) shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (each such Annual Budget after it has been approved in writing by Administrative Agent shall be hereinafter referred to as an “Approved Annual Budget”). In the event that Administrative Agent objects to the final proposed annual budget submitted by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall advise Borrowers of such objections in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt respectively thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise such annual budget and resubmit the same to Administrative Agent.

7.16 Leasing Matters. From and after the Funding Date:

(a) With respect to any Collateral Property, the applicable Operating Lessee may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without

the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by such Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) would not cause a Material Property Event, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the related Mortgage and, upon Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, the lessee thereunder agrees to attorn to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to an agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent and (v) is not a Major Lease.

(c) Borrowers may, without the consent of Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto) provided that such Lease is not a Major Lease and that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) would not cause a Material Property Event, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and any Lease subordination agreement binding upon Administrative Agent with respect to such Lease.

or shorten the term of, or renew or extend upon terms and conditions less favorable to such Borrower, any Major Lease or any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease; provided, however, such Borrower shall not be required to obtain Administrative Agent’s written consent to any immaterial, non-economic change or beneficial economic change to a Major Lease (provided that, changes materially altering: the square footage leased, the location or use of the Collateral Property or extending the term including any renewal option for a period in excess of five (5) years shall, in each case, be considered a material change); and provided further, that no consent shall be required for any amendment under any Operating Lease, to the extent such amendment would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event or result in a Material Adverse Effect including, without limitation, any extension or amendment made to adjust lease rates between lessor and lessee as needed in order to comply with the transfer pricing requirement of Section 482 of the Code as necessary to avoid the imposition of penalties and to protect the status of FelCor Trust as a real estate investment trust. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the lessor’s consent is required under the applicable Major Lease, any assignment or sublease of a Major Lease shall require the consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(e) To the extent actually received by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall hold any and all monies representing security deposits under the Leases (the “Security Deposits”) received by Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Lease, and shall only release the Security Deposits in order to return a tenant’s Security Deposit to such tenant if such tenant is entitled to the return of the Security Deposit under the terms of the Lease.

(f) To the extent that Administrative Agent’s consent or approval is required under this Section 7.16, any such proposed modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment, assignment or sublease of a Lease or Major Lease submitted to Administrative Agent for approval shall be deemed approved if (i) Borrowers deliver to Administrative Agent a written request for such approval marked in bold lettering with the following language: ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”; and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have failed to notify Borrowers of its approval or disapproval within such fifteen (15) Business Days following Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrowers’ written request together with such proposed modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment, assignment or sublease of a Lease or Major Lease, and any and all other information and documentation relating thereto reasonably required by Administrative Agent to reach a decision. In no event shall Administrative Agent be deemed under the preceding sentence to have approved any change having a Material Adverse Effect. Upon Borrowers’ request, Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for any disapprovals under this Section 7.16.

7.17 Management Agreements. From and after the Funding Date:

(a) Each Collateral Property is operated under the terms and conditions of the applicable Management Agreement. Operating Lessees (which term for purposes of the application of this section to the Union Square Hotel Management Agreement shall mean each of FelCor Union Square Hotel and FelCor Union Square Lessee, to the extent each is a party thereto) shall (i) pay all sums required to be paid by the applicable Operating Lessee under the Management Agreement, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreements on the part of Operating Lessees to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done that are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Operating Lessees under the Management Agreements, and (iii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of the giving of any notice by any Manager to any Operating Lessee of any default by such Operating Lessee in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Management

Agreement on the part of Operating Lessee to be performed and observed and deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice. Operating Lessees shall not surrender any Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by any Manager of its interest under a Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel any Management Agreement, or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Management Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that Borrowers shall be entitled to terminate or cancel any Management Agreement that is replaced with a Replacement Management Agreement with any Qualified Manager without the prior consent of Administrative Agent or any Lenders. Borrowers shall deliver notice of such termination or cancellation to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence thereof. Borrowers hereby assign to Administrative Agent for benefit of the Secured Parties as further security for the payment of the Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrowers to surrender any Management Agreement, or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend such Management Agreement, in any material respect, and any such surrender of such Management Agreements, or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Management Agreement in any material respect, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent, shall be void and of no force and effect. Any such proposed modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement submitted to Administrative Agent for approval shall be deemed approved if (i) Borrowers deliver to Administrative Agent a written request for such approval marked in bold lettering with the following language: “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”, and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have failed to notify Borrowers of its approval or disapproval within such fifteen (15) Business Days following Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrowers’ written request together with such proposed modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement, and any and all other information and documentation relating thereto reasonably required by Administrative Agent to reach a decision. In no event shall Administrative Agent be deemed under the preceding sentence to have approved (1) a surrender, termination or cancellation of the Management Agreement, (2) any change having a Material Adverse Effect under the Management Agreement, or (3) or a new management agreement with a new property manager. Upon a Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for any disapprovals under this Section 7.17.

(b) If any Operating Lessee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Management Agreement on the part of Operating Lessee to be performed or observed, after expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods provided in such Management Agreement, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing such Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of such Management Agreement on the part of Operating Lessee to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Operating Lessee to the end that the rights of Operating Lessee in, to and under such Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default in all material respects. Administrative Agent and any Person designated by Administrative Agent by written notice to Borrowers shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Collateral Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Manager shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents in good faith, in reliance thereon. No Operating Lessee shall, and

shall not permit any Manager to, sub-contract all or any material portion of its management responsibilities under any Management Agreement to a third-party without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Operating Lessees shall request of Managers and deliver to Administrative Agent upon receipt such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Operating Lessee with the terms of its respective Management Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent. Operating Lessees shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of its respective Management Agreements to the extent required to continue it in full force and effect until after the Maturity Date, and each Operating Lessee hereby authorizes and appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Operating Lessee, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, (ii) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Obligations, (iii) shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent therefor.

(c) Without limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Borrower shall, upon request of Administrative Agent, and in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Manager’s Consent and Subordination of Management Agreement, terminate any Management Agreement and replace the Manager thereunder, without penalty or fee payable by Borrowers, Administrative Agent or the Lenders, if at any time during the term of this Agreement, subject to clause (d) below, there exists an event of default by such Manager under the applicable Management Agreement which continues beyond any applicable notice and cure periods.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as (x) no Event of Default exists and is continuing and no Material Adverse Effect and no Material Property Event (other than the Material Property Event caused by the referenced default or event of default under the applicable Management Agreement, so long as it has not terminated) shall have occurred and (y) the actions described below have been completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the first date which Administrative Agent became entitled to act under Section 7.17(b) or Section 7.17(c)(ii). Administrative Agent shall not take any action under Section 7.17(b) or Section 7.17(c)(ii) with respect to any default or event of default under any Management Agreement, if:

(i) either:

(A) Manager has not delivered a notice of termination or otherwise sought to terminate the Management Agreement and Borrower and Manager are diligently prosecuting resolution of the substantive issues underlying the default or event of default in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; or

(B) Manager has delivered a notice of termination or otherwise sought to terminate the Management Agreement but such termination is not yet effective, and: (x) the validity of such default or event of default is subject, in good faith, to dispute, by the applicable Borrower, (y) such Borrower is in the process of diligently contesting such disputed default or event of default, and/or prosecuting the resolution of such default in a commercially reasonable manner, and (z) in anticipation of such possible termination, Borrower:

1. promptly engages a new Qualified Manager prior to the effective date of such termination; and

2. provides a management agreement for such new Qualified Manager to Administrative Agent (and if required by Section 7.17(a) above, the Required Lenders) for review and, subject to Section 7.17(a) above and the definition of “Replacement Management Agreement”, consent and approval at least fifteen (15) days before the effective date of such termination; and

(ii) such Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt thereof) copies of all notices and material correspondence sent and/or received by the applicable Borrower with respect to such default or event of default; and

(iii) the proposed Replacement Management Agreement shall be effective not later than the date of termination of the Management Agreement.

7.18 Environment Covenants.

(a) Borrowers covenant and agree that currently and so long as the Loans are outstanding: (i) all uses and operations on or of the Collateral Properties, whether by a Borrower or any other Person, are and shall continue to be in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and permits issued pursuant thereto; (ii) there shall be no Releases of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from any of the Collateral Properties; (iii) there shall be no Hazardous Materials stored or located in, on, or under any of the Collateral Properties, except those that are both (A) in compliance with all Environmental Laws and with permits issued pursuant thereto, if and to the extent required, and (B) (1) in amounts not in excess of that necessary to operate, clean, repair and maintain the applicable Collateral Property as a hotel or (2) fully disclosed to and approved by Administrative Agent in writing; (iv) Borrowers shall keep the Collateral Properties free and clear of all Environmental Liens; (v) Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, fully and expeditiously cooperate in all activities pursuant to paragraph (b) below, including but not limited to providing all relevant information and making knowledgeable persons available for interviews; (vi) Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, perform any environmental site assessment or other investigation of environmental conditions in connection with any of the Collateral Properties, pursuant to any reasonable written request of Administrative Agent, upon Administrative Agent’s reasonable belief that a Collateral Property is not in full compliance with all Environmental Laws or has been the subject of any Release of Hazardous Materials, and deliver to Administrative Agent full and complete copies of the reports and other results thereof, and Administrative Agent and other Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof; (vii) Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense (A) promptly and reasonably effectuate remediation of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from any Collateral Property in strict compliance with all requirements of Environmental Law; and (B) comply with any Environmental Law, in either case whether or not requested to do so by Administrative Agent; (viii) Borrowers shall not allow any tenant or other user of any of the Collateral Properties to violate any Environmental Law; and (ix) Borrowers shall immediately notify Administrative Agent in writing after any Borrower has become aware of (A) any presence or Release or threatened Releases of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, from or migrating towards any of the Collateral Properties; (B) any non-compliance with any Environmental Laws related in any way to any of the Collateral Properties; (C) any actual or potential Environmental Lien; (D) any required or proposed remediation of environmental conditions relating to any of the Collateral Properties; and (E) any written or oral notice or other communication of which a Borrower becomes aware from any source whatsoever (including but not limited to a Governmental Authority) relating in any way to Hazardous Materials in connection with the Collateral Properties.

(b) Administrative Agent and any other Person designated by Administrative Agent by written notice to Borrowers, including but not limited to any representative of a Governmental Authority, and any environmental consultant, and any receiver appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction, shall

have the right but not the obligation, to enter upon any Collateral Property at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of any Collateral Property and its use. If any Event of Default shall have occurred or if Administrative Agent shall reasonably believe that any Hazardous Materials are located on the Property in violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or that any Release of any Hazardous Material has occurred to, from or onto any Collateral Property, then Administrative Agent and any other Person designated by Administrative Agent shall have the right, at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers, payable by Borrowers on demand from Administrative Agent, to conduct an environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion) of the Collateral Property, including, without limitation, the taking of samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing. Borrowers shall cooperate with and provide access to Administrative Agent and any such Person or entity designated by Administrative Agent by written notice to Borrowers.

7.19 Alterations. Other than the purchase, replacement and/or installation of FF&E or Capital Expenditures contemplated by the most recent Approved Annual Budget, Borrowers shall obtain Administrative Agent’s prior written consent to (i) any structural alteration with respect to any Collateral Property or (ii) with respect to each Collateral Property, any other alteration to any Improvements thereon that is estimated to cost in excess of four (4%) percent of the value of the Collateral Property, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except with respect to alterations that may have a Material Adverse Effect or cause a Material Property Event. To the extent that Administrative Agent’s consent or approval is required under this Section 7.19, any such proposed alterations to any Improvements submitted to Administrative Agent for approval shall be deemed approved if (i) Borrowers deliver to Administrative Agent a written request for such approval marked in bold lettering with the following language: “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”; and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have failed to notify Borrowers of its approval or disapproval within such fifteen (15) Business Days following Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrowers’ written request together with a reasonably detailed description of such proposed alteration and any and all other information and documentation relating thereto reasonably required by Administrative Agent to reach a decision. In no event shall Administrative Agent be deemed under the preceding sentence to have approved alterations that may have a Material Adverse Effect or cause a Material Property Event. Upon a Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for any disapprovals under this Section 7.19.

7.20 Franchise Agreements. From and after the Funding Date:

Operating Lessees shall (i) pay all sums required to be paid by the applicable Operating Lessee under such Franchise Agreement, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of such Franchise Agreement on the part of such Operating Lessee to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee under such Franchise Agreement, (iii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of the giving of any notice to such Operating Lessee of any default by such Operating Lessee in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of such Franchise Agreement on the part of such Operating Lessee to be performed and observed and deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice, and (iv) promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under such Franchise Agreement. Borrowers shall not, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), surrender such Franchise Agreement or terminate or cancel such Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend such

Franchise Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, provided, however, that Borrowers shall be entitled to terminate or cancel such Franchise Agreement that is replaced with a Replacement Franchise Agreement. Borrowers hereby assign to Administrative Agent as further security for the payment of the Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrowers and Operating Lessees to surrender any Franchise Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement in any material respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement in any material respect without the prior consent of Administrative Agent shall be void and of no force and effect.

(b) If any Operating Lessee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Franchise Agreement on the part of such Operating Lessee to be performed or observed after expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods provided in the Franchise Agreement, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing a Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the respective Operating Lessee to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Operating Lessee, to the end that the rights of such Operating Lessee in, to and under such Franchise Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default in all material respects. Administrative Agent and any Person designated by Administrative Agent by written notice to Borrowers shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Collateral Properties at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Franchisor shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default under any Franchise Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Document in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrowers shall, from time to time, use their best efforts to obtain from each Franchisor such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by each Operating Lessee with the terms of its Franchise Agreement as may be requested by Administrative Agent. Each Operating Lessee shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of its respective Franchise Agreement to the extent required to continue it in full force and effect until after the Maturity Date, and each Operating Lessee hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Operating Lessee, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

Ground Lessee shall not, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter, amend or waive any material term of the Ground Lease, either orally or in writing, and if Ground Lessee shall default in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of Ground Lessee, as tenant thereunder, and shall fail to cure the same prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period provided thereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Ground Lessee to be performed or observed on behalf of Ground Lessee, to the end that the rights of Ground Lessee in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. If the landlord under the Ground Lease shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Ground Lease, such notices shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Ground Lessee shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease upon demand by Administrative Agent made at any time within one (1) year prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Ground Lessee hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Ground Lessee, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

To the extent that Administrative Agent’s consent or approval is required under this Section 7.23 any such proposed sublease submitted to Administrative Agent for approval shall be deemed approved if (i) Borrowers deliver to Administrative Agent a written request for such approval marked in bold lettering with the following language: “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”; and (ii) Administrative

Agent shall have failed to notify Borrowers of its approval or disapproval within such fifteen (15) Business Days following Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrowers’ written request together with such proposed sublease and any and all other information and documentation relating thereto reasonably required by Administrative Agent to reach a decision.

Any amounts received by Administrative Agent or Ground Lessee as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied to all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof;

(iv) If, pursuant to subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, Ground Lessee seeks to offset, against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease, the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by Ground Lessee of any of its obligations thereunder after the rejection by Ground Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code, then Ground Lessee shall not affect any offset of the amounts objected to by Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Ground Lessee in accordance with the first sentence of this subsection, Ground Lessee may proceed to offset the amounts set forth in Ground Lessee’s notice to Administrative Agent;

Borrowers further covenant and agree to implement and follow the terms and conditions of such O&M Program during the term of the Loan, including any extension or renewal thereof.

(viii) if required by Administrative Agent, earthquake, sinkhole and mine subsidence insurance in amounts as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Section 9.01(a)(vii) shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Section 9.01(a)(i);

(ix) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than $100,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under Section 9.01(a)(ii);

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall not be obligated to expend more than $100,000 in any Fiscal Year on Insurance Premiums for Terrorism Insurance (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) and if the cost of the Terrorism Insurance Required Amount exceeds the Terrorism Insurance Cap, such Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Insurance available with funds equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap; provided, however, in the event it is customary among owners of Class A hotel properties in the United States to have “All Risk” coverage without any exclusion (a “Terrorism Exclusion”) from coverage under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism, terrorist acts or similar acts of sabotage, such Borrower shall obtain a Policy without any such Terrorism Exclusion. After the occurrence of any event which reduces the amount of insurance available under the Terrorism Insurance required hereunder (whether due to a claim or otherwise), such Borrower shall be obligated to immediately increase the coverage of such Terrorism Insurance to allow for limits described in Sections 9.01(a)(i) and 9.01(a)(iii) above;

(xii) such other insurance and in such amounts as are required pursuant to the Franchise Agreement or as Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to each Collateral Property located in or around the region in which the each Collateral Property is located; and

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 9.01(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Administrative Agent, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the property is located, and approved by Administrative Agent. The primary $15,000,000 in coverage shall be provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating of A- or better by at least two approved Rating Agencies. The excess layers up to $50,000,000 in coverage shall be provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating of A- or better by S & P, or such other Rating Agency approved by Administrative Agent. At least seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining coverage shall be provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating of A- or better by S & P, or such other Rating Agency approved by Administrative Agent. All

carriers providing insurance at any level shall have a general policy rating of A: VIII or better by A.M. Best Company Inc. (each such insurer shall be referred to as a “Qualified Insurer”). Notwithstanding the above, Administrative Agent agrees to accept Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company provided they maintain their current A. M. Best Company Inc. rating. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.01(a), Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of their intent to renew such Policies in accordance with the requirements thereof, and prior to such renewal, shall deliver evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent reflecting such policies (copies of binders of insurance or emails between the carriers and the Borrower or their insurance representative confirming renewal coverage is in effect shall be deemed to satisfy this requirement), and within thirty (30) days after such renewal shall deliver certificates of insurance reflecting such Policies. In the event any Borrower desires to obtain the insurance required hereunder from an insurer not meeting the requirements of this Section 9.01(b), such Borrower may request, in writing, Administrative Agent’s approval of such insurer, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Borrowers shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is at least equal in scope of coverage as if a “stand above” Policy meeting all of the requirements noted above are provided such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 9.01(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, a Borrower. In the event any Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy, such Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the same and shall cause certificates of insurance reflecting such Policy to be delivered as required in Section 9.01(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Collateral Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 9.01(a). Notwithstanding Administrative Agent’s approval of any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy hereunder, Administrative Agent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require any Borrower to obtain a separate Policy in compliance with this Section 9.01.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 9.01(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 9.01(a)(v), shall name Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders and Borrowers as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent.

(e) All Policies provided for in Section 9.01(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Borrowers, or anyone acting for Borrowers, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Administrative Agent is concerned;

(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as an insured;

(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

(iv) Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f) Borrowers shall furnish to Administrative Agent, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of Borrowers’ Fiscal Year, a statement certified by Borrowers or a duly authorized officer of Borrowers of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Administrative Agent, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Administrative Agent.

(g) If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, with prior notice to Borrowers, to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Collateral Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(h) In the event of a foreclosure of any of the Mortgages, or other transfer of title to any Collateral Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations all right, title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Administrative Agent or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

9.02 Casualty. If a Collateral Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty resulting in an amount greater than $100,000 to repair (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall give prompt notice of such damage to Administrative Agent and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Collateral Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Collateral Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Administrative Agent and otherwise in accordance with Section 9.04. Borrowers shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrowers.

9.03 Condemnation. Borrowers shall promptly give Administrative Agent notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of any Collateral Property and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrowers shall from time to time deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Each Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Administrative Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrowers shall continue to pay the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement and the Obligations shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations, except as otherwise required pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Ground Lease. Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes. If any Collateral Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers shall, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration

of the applicable Collateral Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9.04. If any Collateral Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of the Award, Administrative Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Obligations.

9.04 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Collateral Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $2,500,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $2,500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Administrative Agent to a Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04(c)(i) and (iii) are met and Borrowers deliver to Administrative Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a portion of the Net Proceeds not to exceed $2,500,000 shall be made available to Borrowers after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent to pay or reimburse a Borrower for any immediate and necessary repair or work required (i) to prevent further damage to the Collateral Property, (ii) to protect life or to provide safety or (iii) to restore hotel operations at the Collateral Property (collectively, the “Emergency Repairs”) provided all the conditions set forth in Sections 9.04(c)(i) and (iii) met and Borrowers deliver to Administrative Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Emergency Repairs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The term “Net Proceeds” means: (A) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i), (iv), (vii) and (viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (B) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(i) No Default or Event of Default (unless caused solely by the Condemnation or Casualty) shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Collateral Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event that Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Collateral Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Collateral Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

(iii) The respective Operating Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration;

(iv) Such Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion

in compliance with all applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Franchise Agreement;

(v) Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes, which will be incurred with respect to the Collateral Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (A) the Net Proceeds, (B) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 9.01(a)(iii) if applicable, or (C) by other funds of Borrowers;

(ix) Such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access in any material respect to the Collateral Property or the related Improvements;

(x) Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent a signed detailed scope of damages and repairs, including cost estimates for each repair item, approved in writing by Borrowers’ architect, engineer or project manager stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which scope shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent;

(xi) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or Permitted Investments deposited by Borrowers with Administrative Agent are sufficient in Administrative Agent’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration;

(xii) any applicable Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (A) remain in full force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (B) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a Replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the applicable Collateral Property or any portion thereof for business with the public; and

(xiii) any applicable Franchise Agreement is not terminated as a result of such Casualty or Condemnation.

(d) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, such Borrower from time to time during the course

of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (i) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (ii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Collateral Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by the title company issuing the Title Policy.

(e) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration, the cost of which is greater than $2,500,000 shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Administrative Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”), which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration the cost of which is greater than $2,500,000, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent’s prior review and acceptance of plans and specifications, identity of contractors and contracts shall not be required in connection with Restoration which shall be required on an emergency basis (i) to prevent further damage to the Collateral Property, (ii) to protect life or to provide safety (iii) to restore hotel operations at the Collateral Property; provided that in such cases, such plans, specifications, identity of contractors and contracts shall be made available to Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant as soon as practicable. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrowers.

(f) In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%), of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 9.04(f), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Collateral Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the Title Policy for the related Collateral Property, and Administrative Agent receives an endorsement to such Title Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the

Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(g) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

(h) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Administrative Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 9.04(h) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

(i) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04(i), and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to Borrowers, provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(j) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrowers as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 9.04(h) may be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Obligations whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrowers for such purposes as Administrative Agent shall approve, in its discretion; provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not apply the Net Proceeds in a manner that would violate the applicable provisions of the Ground Lease. If Administrative Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Mortgages shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Administrative Agent and actually applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Obligations.

10.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 10.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable), 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 IV) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and no Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) Administrative Agent shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Loan Documents, and each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender) 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 Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

11.02 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 or Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

11.03 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 the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided 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 liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

104

(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 Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.01 and 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrowers or a Lender.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with 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 V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

11.04 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 such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrowers), 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.

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

11.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers, 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 the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative

105

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 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 the 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 XI and Section 12.04 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.

11.07 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. 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 or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

11.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Book Manager and Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

11.09 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 any 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.

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 the Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 2.06 and Section 12.04) 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;

106

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 Section 2.06 and Section 12.04.

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.

11.10 Collateral Matters. Lenders irrevocably authorize 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 payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or is otherwise released in accordance with Section 2.13, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 12.01.

Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the 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 11.10. In each case as specified in this Section 11.10, 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 assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 11.10.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent in connection with such capacity). The obligations of Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(c).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual

111

damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, INCLUDING DUE TO SUCH INDEMNITEE’S OWN NEGLIGENCE. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

12.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

12.06 Successors and Assigns.

(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 Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their 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 Eligible Entity in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06(b), (ii) by way of participation to an Eligible Entity in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.06(g) (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 subsection (d) of this Section 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 Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its

112

Commitment and the Loans 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 Lender’s Commitment under the Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under the Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 12.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitments or, if the Commitments are not then in effect, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans 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 $5,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans 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) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; 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 or an Affiliate of such Lender or (2) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

(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, etc. No such assignment shall be made to any natural Person or to any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower or any Guarantor.

113

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 Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and 12.04 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 one or more Notes to the assignee 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 12.06(d), subject to the requirements of such Section 12.06(d).

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, 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 the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrowers or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Entity (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 Loans owing to it); provided that the minimum amount provisions of Section 12.06(b)(i) shall apply and (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) Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument 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 or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 12.06 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.04, and 4.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01 or 4.04, than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent or to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.01(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood

114

that the documentation required to be delivered under Section 4.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(f) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) 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; 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.

(h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and Lenders 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, officers, employees, agents, 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 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 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 Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrowers 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 nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrowers and not otherwise, to the actual knowledge of any of the Secured Parties, in violation of this Section 12.07.

115

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all 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 nonconfidential 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.

Each of Administrative Agent and Lenders acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Borrowers or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

12.08 Right of Setoff.

(a) 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 against any and all of the obligations of Borrowers 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 Borrowers or any of them 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 their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrowers 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.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (A), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d, AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (B) SHALL BE

116

SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

12.09 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no present or future Constituent Member (as hereinafter defined) in any Borrower, nor any present or future shareholder, officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary, advisor, member, partner, principal, participant or agent of or in any Borrower or of or in any Person that is or becomes a Constituent Member in any Borrower, shall have any personal or other liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except as may occur by virtue of such Person becoming a successor to any Borrower pursuant to Section 12.06(a). Administrative Agent and each Lender each, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal or other liability. The term “Constituent Member,” as used herein, shall mean any direct partner or member in any Borrower and any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations or other entities, is a partner or member in any Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, neither the negative capital account of any Constituent Member in any Borrower nor any obligation of any Constituent Member in any Borrower to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or loan capital to any Borrower or to any other Constituent Member in any Borrower shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Borrower (or any such other Constituent Member) and neither any Borrower nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against any Constituent Member with respect to any such negative capital account or obligation to restore, contribute or loan. Nothing contained in this Section 12.09 shall apply to, or be deemed to be a release or exculpation from liability of, (a) any Loan Party, and (b) any Guarantor or any other Person who executes, or is required by any Loan Document to execute, a Guaranty or the Environmental Indemnity (provided that nothing herein shall limit the exculpation provisions (including Section 16) contained in any Guaranty).

12.10 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 be applied to the principal of the Loans 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.

12.11 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 5.01, 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 facsimile or electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

12.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such

117

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 initial Loans, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

12.13 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.

12.14 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, or if Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Entity that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) Borrowers shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 12.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

12.15 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) Service of Process. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 12.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.12.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
