WITNESSETH:

1. BACKGROUND.

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined either in Exhibit A, or in specific sections of this Agreement, or in another Credit Document, as referenced in Exhibit A.

1.3 Use of Loan Proceeds. Borrower has applied to Administrative Agent for a revolving credit facility of One Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($140,000,000), as the same may be increased pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof (the “Facility”), the proceeds of which are to be used solely for the purposes of (i) providing for the working capital needs of the Borrower, (ii) Permitted Investments, (iii) paying closing costs incidental to this transaction, (iv) retiring the $75,000,000 promissory note issued by Borrower to KeyBank National Association on August 23, 2005 and repaying all outstanding obligations under the Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 28, 2005 by and between Borrower and KeyBank National Association, as amended by a certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of August 23, 20005, and (v) for general purposes permitted under the Partnership Agreement as in effect on the date hereof.

1.4 Accounting Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, and all financial statements and certificates and reports as to financial matters required to be delivered to the Lenders hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. All calculations made for the purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement shall (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be made by application of GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the most recent annual or quarterly financial statements and reports delivered pursuant to Section 7.2 (or, prior to

the delivery of the first financial statements pursuant to Section 7.2, consistent with the financial statements dated June 30, 2005).

2 LOAN PROVISIONS.

2.1 Amount of Facility.

(a) Revolving Commitment. Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees severally to make available to the Borrower for the purposes herein set forth such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of revolving credit loans requested by the Borrower (each a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, or such earlier dates as the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated as provided herein; provided, however: (i) with regard to each Lender individually, such Lender’s outstanding Loans plus such Lender’s interest in outstanding LOC Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount, (ii) with regard to the Lenders collectively, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans plus LOC Obligations outstanding shall not exceed the Committed Amount and (iii) the LOC Obligations outstanding shall not exceed the LOC Committed Amount. Loans made hereunder may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) Notes. The Loans shall be evidenced by duly executed promissory note(s) of the Borrower to each Lender in the original principal amount of each Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount; such notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F.

(c) Loans. In order to request that Lenders make a Loan hereunder, Borrower must submit a Notice of Borrowing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I to Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the Loan is requested to be made (which shall be a Business Day) and shall also submit to Administrative Agent a Notice of Rate Selection in accordance with Section 2.3.5. Provided that all conditions precedent thereto are satisfied, Lenders will use commercially reasonable efforts to fund the requested Loan on such date.

(d) Reduction. Provided a Default or Event of Default does not exist, Borrower may reduce the Maximum Loan Amount from time to time by no less than $5,000,000.00 (or such greater amount in increments of no less than $1,000,000) but not more often than one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period by giving notice to Administrative Agent. Any such reduction in the Maximum Loan Amount shall be permanent and shall take effect as of the date Administrative Agent receives such notice.

(e) Additional Loan Amount. (i) The Borrower may, at any time on or prior to the date which is eighteen (18) months after the date hereof, by written notice (the “Increase Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate Commitments under the Facility be increased (a “Commitment Increase”) by up to $110,000,000.00. The Increase Notice shall state (A) the amount of additional Commitments (the “Additional Commitments”) that Borrower is requesting, and (B) the proposed date on which the Commitment Increase would be effective (such date or any later date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify in light of the time required to seek the additional Commitments, the “Proposed Increase Date”).

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) a copy of the Increase Notice and a statement from the Administrative Agent as to the Proposed Increase Date, if different from that set forth by the Borrower in the Increase Notice and (ii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Additional Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Additional Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(iii) Promptly following the Additional Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase on the Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Administrative Agent may extend offers to one or more other lenders identified by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Borrower, such approval by the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such additional lenders, the “Additional Lenders”) to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the Additional Commitment Date; provided, that the Commitment of each such Additional Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree.

(iv) In the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to obtain Commitments from the existing Lenders and any Additional Lenders sufficient to bring the total Commitments up to the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower. The Borrower shall have the option of increasing the Commitments up to the level, if any, for which the Administrative Agent was able to obtain Commitments by giving written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such Commitments. If the Borrower shall fail to deliver such notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to not increase the Facility to any extent.

(v) Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the closing of any increase in the Commitments contemplated by this Section 2.1(e) (the date of such closing, the “Increase Date”) shall occur on the Proposed Increase Date. On the Increase Date, each Additional Lender that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1(e) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender in respect of the Facility shall be increased by an amount sufficient to reflect its agreed upon share of the increased Facility; provided, the following conditions are met:

(A) all fees and expenses owing to the Lenders and the Administrative

Agent have been paid in accordance with this Agreement and the Fee Letter including, without limitation, any increased fees or expenses attributable to the Additional Loan Amount on or prior to the Increase Date;

(B) no Event of Default and no Default shall exist on the Increase Date;

(C) Borrower is in full compliance with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Documents on the Increase Date;

(D) the representations and warranties contained in Credit Documents, subject to the limitations set forth therein, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Date (except for those which expressly relate to an earlier date which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(E) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or before the Increase Date a certificate stating that all of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied, which certificate shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(F) each Increasing Lender shall deliver a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower confirming the increase in the amount of its Commitment; and

(G) a duly executed joinder agreement shall be delivered in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to which each Additional Lender shall become a Lender party to this Agreement.

(vi) In connection with any requested increase of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such documents, instruments and information as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to evaluate the request for the Additional Commitments, successfully syndicate the proposed Commitment Increase and evidence the Commitment Increase including, without limitation, the execution of any new Notes in connection therewith on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. On the Increase Date, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (a) in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of each Increasing Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Increasing Lender’s aggregate Commitment as of the Increase Date, such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be dated as of the Increase Date and shall otherwise be substantially in the form of the surrendered Notes, and (b) a new Note payable to the order of each Additional Lender who has participated in the Commitment Increase in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Additional Lender’s Commitment as of the Increase Date, such Notes shall be dated as of the Increase Date and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F. Within thirty (30) days after the issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this 2.1(e), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new

Notes and the legality, validity and binding effect thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower. If the Maximum Loan Amount is increased by the Additional Loan Amount in accordance with this Section 2.1(e), the Administrative Agent shall promptly send to each Lender an amended Exhibit E showing the changes in Commitment Percentages resulting from the increase in the Commitments.

(vii) Any increase in the Maximum Loan Amount and the performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations under this Section 2.1(e) shall not be subject to any consent of the Lenders.

(viii) Nothing in this Section 2.1(e) shall constitute a commitment to lend or an agreement to make a lending commitment or to make credit available or to syndicate the Commitment Increase on the part of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, and any failure to obtain internal approvals for or to successfully syndicate the Commitment Increase shall not constitute a breach or default hereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to undertake any action to effectuate and/or implement the Commitment Increase but shall have the right to do so in its sole and absolute discretion pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.1(e) upon receipt of the Increase Notice. The Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw its request for a Commitment Increase at any time prior to the closing of such Commitment Increase.

2.1.1 Letter of Credit Subfacility.

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents and any other terms and conditions which the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue, and each Lender severally agrees to participate in the issuance by the Issuing Lender of, Letters of Credit in Dollars from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the LOC Commitment shall have been terminated as provided herein as the Borrower may request, in a form acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable determination; provided, however, that (i) the LOC Obligations outstanding shall not at any time exceed the LOC Committed Amount and (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans plus LOC Obligations outstanding shall not at any time exceed the aggregate Committed Amount. No Letter of Credit shall (x) have an original expiration date more than one year from the date of issuance or (y) as originally issued or as extended, have an expiration date extending beyond thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date or (z) be issued in a face amount of less than $250,000.00. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with its related LOC Documents. The issuance and expiration dates of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day. The parties hereto agree that in the event of any conflict, variation or inconsistency between any of the provisions hereof and of the LOC Documents and any other terms and conditions which the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, then the provisions of this Agreement shall control, govern, supersede, and prevail in all respects.

(b) Notice and Reports. The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be submitted by the Borrower to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the

requested date of issuance. The Issuing Lender will, at least quarterly and more frequently upon request, disseminate to each of the Lenders a detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which may have occurred since the date of the prior report, and including therein, among other things, the beneficiary, the face amount and the expiry date, as well as any payment or expirations which may have occurred.

(c) Participation. Each Lender, upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a Participation Interest from the Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and any collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the obligations under such Letter of Credit (based on the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders) and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Lender and discharge when due, its pro rata share of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s Participation Interest in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or under any such Letter of Credit, each such Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender its pro rata share (based on the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders) of such unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by the Issuing Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) below. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.

(d) Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower. The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender on the day of drawing under any Letter of Credit in same day funds, either with the proceeds of a Loan obtained hereunder or with other funds. Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify the Issuing Lender that the Borrower intends to otherwise reimburse the Issuing Lender for such drawing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Lenders make a Variable Rate Loan in the amount of the drawing as provided in subsection (e) below on the related Letter of Credit, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the related reimbursement obligations. If the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided hereinabove because a Variable Rate Loan cannot be made and the Borrower has failed to otherwise reimburse the Lender, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit drawn upon, or any other Person, including without limitation any defense based on any failure of the Borrower to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the Letter of Credit.

The Issuing Lender will promptly notify the other Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such

Lender’s pro rata share of such unreimbursed drawing (based on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage). Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Lender from the Issuing Lender if such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M. (Boston, Massachusetts time) otherwise such payment shall be made at or before 1:00 P.M. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If a Lender does not pay such amount to the Issuing Lender in full upon such request, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing until such Lender pays such amount to the Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date that such Lender is required to make payments of such amount pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to the Variable Rate. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Issuing Lender, and the right of the Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, and shall be without regard to the termination of this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default, or the acceleration of the Borrower Obligations and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Simultaneously with the making of each such payment by a Lender to the Issuing Lender, such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or such Lender, acquire a Participation Interest in an amount equal to such payment (excluding any portion of such payment constituting interest owing to the Issuing Lender) in the related unreimbursed drawing portion of the LOC Obligation and in the interest thereon and in the related LOC Documents, and shall have a claim against the Borrower with respect thereto.

(e) Replacement with Loans. On any day on which the Borrower shall have requested, or is deemed to have requested, a Loan to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Lenders that a Loan has been requested or is deemed requested by the Borrower in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Loan comprised of Variable Rate Loans (or LIBOR Rate Loans to the extent the Borrower has complied with the procedures of Section 2.3.2 with respect thereto) shall be immediately made to the Borrower by all Lenders (notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 9.3) based pro rata on the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders, (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 9.3) and the proceeds thereof shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Loan immediately upon any such request or deemed request in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (i) the amount of such Loan may not comply with the minimum amount for Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.16 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the failure of any such request or deemed request for a Loan to be made by the time or in the manner otherwise required hereunder, (v) whether the date of such Loan is a date on which Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (vi) any termination of the Commitments relating thereto prior to or contemporaneously with such Loan.

In the event that any Loan cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the

Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each such Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such Loan would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Issuing Lender such Participation Interests in the outstanding LOC Obligations as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such LOC Obligations ratably (based upon the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 9.3)), provided that at the time any purchase of Participation Interests pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay to the Issuing Lender, to the extent not paid to the Issuing Lender by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of subsection (d) above, interest on the principal amount of Participation Interests purchased for each day from and including the day upon which such Loan would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such Participation Interests, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of the Loan, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Variable Rate.

(f) Renewal, Extension and Amendment. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any amendment thereto which increases the face amount (to the extent of such increase) or changes the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.

(g) Uniform Customs and Practices. The Issuing Lender may have the Letters of Credit be subject to The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as published as of the date of issue by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “UCP”), in which case the UCP may be incorporated therein and deemed in all respects to be a part thereof.

(h) Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties.

(I) Subject to Section 2.1.1(h)(IV) below, as between the Borrower and the Lenders (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lender), the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No Lender (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lender) shall be responsible: (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (D) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof, and (E) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

(II) Subject to Section 2.1.1(h)(IV) below, in furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Lender (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lender), under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect each Lender (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lender) against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrower, including, without limitation, any and all Government Acts. No Lender (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lender) shall, in any way, be liable for any failure by such Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Lender.

(III) Nothing in this subsection (h) is intended to limit the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower contained in subsection (d) above. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection (h) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Lenders (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lender) to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.

(IV) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (h), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Lender (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lender) in respect of any liability incurred by such Lender (A) arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, unless such payment is prohibited by any law, regulation, court order or decree (other than a law, regulation, order or decree relating to insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuing Lender), (C) caused by any other breach by any Lender of its covenants and/or obligations hereunder, or (D) as to any dispute to the extent the same is exclusively between or among the Issuing Lender and any Lender.

(i) Responsibility of Issuing Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder to the Lenders are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and that the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 have been satisfied unless it shall have acquired actual knowledge that any such condition precedent has not been satisfied or has elected in its sole discretion to waive compliance with such condition (except as such waiver may require consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 11.19 hereof); provided, however, that nothing set forth in this

Section 2.1.1 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 in the event that it is determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.

(j) Conflict with LOC Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any LOC Document (including any application for a Letter of Credit), this Agreement shall control.

2.2 Term of Facility. The Facility shall be for a term (“Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on September 8, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to extension on the terms hereinafter set forth. The Borrower shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date for two (2) successive periods (each, an “Extension Term”) of one (1) year each on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Not more than ninety (90) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a notice of Borrower’s election to extend the Maturity Date one (1) year and shall on or before the applicable scheduled Maturity Date pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the accounts of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, an extension fee equal to 0.125% of the Maximum Loan Amount as of such scheduled Maturity Date. Such extension fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(b) No Event of Default and no Default shall exist on the scheduled Maturity Date.

(c) Borrower is in full compliance with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Documents on the scheduled Maturity Date.

(d) The representations and warranties contained in the Credit Documents shall be true and accurate on and as of the scheduled Maturity Date as though made at and as of such date (other than such warranties and representations which by their terms are expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) subject to such exceptions which in the aggregate do not and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) With respect to the second Extension Term, Borrower shall have properly exercised and satisfied all conditions precedent to the first Extension Term.

(f) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or before the scheduled Maturity Date a certificate stating that all of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied, which certificate shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Provided the foregoing conditions are satisfied, effective as of the applicable scheduled Maturity Date, the Maturity Date shall be extended to the date that is the anniversary of such scheduled Maturity Date.

2.3 Interest Rate and Payment Terms. Amounts outstanding under the Facility shall be payable as to interest and principal in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement also provides for interest at a Default Rate, Late Charges and prepayment rights and fees. Any and all interest rate selection and conversion provisions in this Agreement are to be administered by the Administrative Agent and are to be allocated on a pro rata basis to the Note(s) held by each Lender based upon such Lender’s Commitment Percentage.

2.3.1 Borrower’s Options. Principal amounts outstanding under the Facility shall bear interest at the following rates, at Borrower’s selection, subject to the conditions and limitations provided for in this Agreement: (i) Variable Rate or (ii) Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

2.3.2 Selection To Be Made. Borrower shall select, and thereafter may change the selection of, the applicable interest rate, from the alternatives otherwise provided for in this Agreement, by giving Administrative Agent a Notice of Rate Selection as provided in Section 2.3.5 hereof: (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to a Loan, (ii) on any Business Day on which Borrower desires to convert an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan to a Variable Rate Loan, or (iii) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which Borrower desires to convert an outstanding Variable Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or make any change with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan.

2.3.3 Increased Costs. If due to any one or more of: (i) the introduction of any applicable law or regulation or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements or imposition of a Reserve Percentage already referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate) in the interpretation or application by any authority charged with the interpretation or application of any law or regulation; or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any governmental central bank or other governmental authority, there shall be an increase in the cost to Administrative Agent or any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans, including without limitation changes which affect or would affect the amount of capital or reserves required or expected to be maintained by Administrative Agent or any Lender, with respect to all or any portion of the Facility, or any corporation controlling (directly or indirectly) Administrative Agent or any Lender, on account thereof, then, provided that such increases in costs are not due to the fraud or gross negligence of Administrative Agent or such Lender, Borrower from time to time shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Administrative Agent or such Lender against the increased cost; provided, however, that such amounts shall be no greater than that which such Administrative Agent or Lender is generally charging other borrowers

similarly situated to the Borrower. If at any time a Lender or Lenders other than the Administrative Agent shall make a determination of increased cost, the Borrower may at any time during the period that such increased cost is being charged to Borrower instruct such Lender or Lenders to sell its or their commitments (with all Loans and LOC Obligations outstanding thereunder) to a bank to be designated by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at a price equal to all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereunder and any other outstanding obligations due to such Lender hereunder, provided, however, that such purchasing bank shall comply with the provisions of Section 11 hereof. A certificate as to the amount of the increased cost and the reason therefor submitted to Borrower by Administrative Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

2.3.4 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of, or a change in the interpretation of, any law, treaty, statute, regulation or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or government authority shall assert by directive, guideline or otherwise, that it is unlawful for Administrative Agent or any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans then, on written notice thereof and demand by Administrative Agent to Borrower, (a) the obligation of Administrative Agent and Lenders to make LIBOR Loans and to convert or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan shall terminate and (b) Borrower shall convert all Loans outstanding under the Facility into Variable Rate Loans until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund LIBOR Loans.

2.3.4.1 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.3.4 hereof, such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted into Variable Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBOR Loans or prior thereto if and to the extent LIBOR Loans may not be maintained as a result of any condition or event specified in Section 2.3.4 hereof and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.3.4 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Variable Rate Loans; and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued instead as Variable Rate Loans, and all Variable Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Variable Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 2.3.4 hereof

that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans to Variable Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3.4.1 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Variable Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with such Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages.

2.3.4.2 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or by the jurisdiction where such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or the Administrative Agent has a permanent establishment or office, or is engaged in a trade or business, or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) 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 2.3.4.2) such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 12.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any

jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.3.4.2) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that such amounts shall be no greater than the amounts which such Administrative Agent or Lender is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower.

(d) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY and W-9 (or their equivalent), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying if appropriate that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from the definition of Taxes set forth in Section 2.3.4.2(a).

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 2.3.4.2(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Sections 2.3.4.2(a) or 2.3.4.2(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of Taxes, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall, at such Lender’s sole cost and expense, take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3.4.2, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.3.4.2 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the LOC Obligations, and the other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

2.3.4.3 Capital Adequacy. If any future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive or the interpretation thereof by a court or Governmental Authority with appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that the amount of capital required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence of Loans made or deemed to be made pursuant hereto, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact, and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, upon demand made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as an additional fee payable hereunder, such amount as such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall determine reasonably and in good faith and certify in a notice to the Borrower to be an amount that will adequately compensate such Lender or Administrative Agent in light of these circumstances for its increased costs of maintaining such capital. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis, and will not charge the Borrower unless it is generally imposing a similar charge on its other similarly situated borrowers.

2.3.5 Notice. A “Notice of Rate Selection” shall be a written notice, given by cable, tested telex, facsimile transmission (with authorized signature), or by telephone if immediately confirmed by such a written notice, from an Authorized Representative of Borrower which: (i) is irrevocable; (ii) is received by Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 o’clock P.M. Eastern Time: (a) at least three (3) Business Days prior to a Loan; or (b) if a LIBOR Rate is selected, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the current Interest Period to which such selection is to apply; (c) if a Variable Rate is selected, on the first day of the Interest Period to which it applies; and (iii) as to each selected interest rate option, sets forth the aggregate principal amount(s) to which such interest rate option(s) shall apply and the Interest Period(s) applicable to each LIBOR Loan.

2.3.6 If No Notice. If Borrower fails to timely select an interest rate option in accordance with the foregoing prior to a new Loan or as to an expiring Interest Period of an outstanding LIBOR Loan, then such new Loan and/or such outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be deemed converted to a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month; provided, however, if a LIBOR Loan is not then available, any such new Loan shall be deemed to be a Variable Rate Loan, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period of any such outstanding LIBOR Loan all outstanding principal amounts thereon shall be deemed converted to a Variable Rate Loan.

2.3.7 Telephonic Notice. Without in any way limiting Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice, concerning interest rate selection only, believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each case

Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic Notice of Rate Selection in the absence of manifest error.

2.3.8 Limits On Options. Each LIBOR Loan or Variable Rate Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000. At no time shall there be outstanding a total of more than six (6) LIBOR Loans at any time. If Borrower shall make more than one (1) interest rate selection in any thirty (30) day period, excluding conversions of outstanding Loans made at the end of an applicable Interest Period of any previously outstanding LIBOR Loan, Administrative Agent may impose and Borrower shall pay a reasonable processing fee for each such additional selection.

2.3.9 Payment and Calculation of Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.14, all interest shall be: (a) payable in arrears commencing on September 30, 2005 with payments to be made on each Interest Payment Date thereafter; and (b) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall be computed from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to, but excluding, the last day thereof.

(i) Variable Rate Loans. During such periods as the Loans shall be comprised in whole or in part of Variable Rate Loans, such Variable Rate Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Variable Rate. Each change in the Prime Rate or Adjusted Federal Funds Rate shall, as applicable, simultaneously change the Variable Rate payable under this Agreement.

(ii) LIBOR Loans. During such periods as the Loans shall be comprised in whole or in part of LIBOR Loans, such LIBOR Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

2.3.10 Voluntary and Mandatory Principal Payments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part at any time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Administrative Agent without premium or penalty with respect to Variable Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR Loans, subject to a Make-Whole Provision.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans plus LOC Obligations outstanding shall exceed the Committed Amount, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the outstanding principal balance on the Loans (or, after all Loans have been repaid, cash collateralize the LOC Obligations) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayments and any other payments designated as such herein, “Mandatory Prepayments”).

(ii) All amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3.10(b)(i) shall be applied first to the Loans and after all Loans have been repaid, then to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations. Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, Mandatory Prepayments shall be applied first to Variable Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans in direct order of Interest Period

maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.3.10(b)(ii) applied to LIBOR Loans in accordance with the foregoing shall be subject to a Make-Whole Provision.

2.3.11 Maturity. At Maturity all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Facility shall be due and payable in full and the principal balance and such other charges, but not unpaid interest, shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until so paid.

2.3.12 Method of Payment; Date of Credit All payments of interest, principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds: (a) by direct charge to an account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent (or the then holder of the Facility), or (b) by wire transfer to Administrative Agent, or (c) to such other bank or address as the holder of the Facility may designate in a notice to Borrower. Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to one o’clock P.M. Eastern Time; payments received after one o’clock P.M. Eastern Time shall be credited on the next Business Day, payments which are not in the form of immediately available funds shall not be credited until such funds become immediately available to Administrative Agent.

2.3.13 Xxxxxxxx. Administrative Agent may submit monthly xxxxxxxx reflecting payments due; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month. Neither the failure of Administrative Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all Borrower’s payment obligations when due; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be considered in breach of this Agreement to the extent that it makes payments in accordance with such xxxxxxxx unless and until three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent of such error in billing.

2.3.14 Default Rate. Administrative Agent shall have the option of imposing, and Borrower shall pay upon billing therefor, a default interest rate which is four percent (4%) per annum above the Variable Rate (the “Default Rate”): (a) while any monetary Default exists and is continuing, during that period between the due date and the date of payment; (b) while any Event of Default exists, unless and until the Event of Default is waived by Administrative Agent; and (c) after Maturity. Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a monetary Default or any Event of Default.

2.3.15 Late Charges. Except with respect to payments due at Maturity (as to which the Late Charge shall not be applicable), Borrower shall pay, upon billing therefor, a “Late Charge” equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment of principal, interest, or both, which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof. Late Charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments, (c) are not interest, and (d) shall not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.

2.3.16 Make Whole Provision. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, immediately upon request and notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in any of the Credit Documents, such amounts as shall be necessary to compensate each Lender for the loss, cost or expense which it actually reasonably incurs as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of a Loan which was to have borne interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate pursuant to the request of Borrower to be made under this Agreement (except as a result of a failure by Administrative Agent or any Lender to fulfill Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations to fund), or (iv) the failure of Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request submitted by it for a LIBOR Loan (except as a result of a failure by Administrative Agent or any Lender to fulfill such Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s obligations to fund). Such amounts payable by Borrower shall be equal to any administrative costs actually incurred plus any amounts required to compensate for any loss, cost or expense reasonably incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, the costs associated with the cancellation of any interest rate hedge agreement.

2.4 Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in immediately available funds on or before the Closing Date a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in the amount agreed to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower promises to pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders the Letter of Credit fronting fees equal to the greater of: (I) $1,500.00 per Letter of Credit; and (II) 0.125% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit (calculated on the stated duration thereof and using a 360-day year), in either case payable upon issuance of each Letter of Credit, plus the customary charges and fees from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance, processing, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing Lender Fees”). In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily undrawn stated amount under such standby Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December (commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such standby Letter of Credit) and on the Maturity Date or such earlier termination of the Facility. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the average daily undrawn stated amount under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and the Letter of Credit Fee shall be calculated using the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(c) Unused Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an unused commitment fee payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each quarterly period during the Term based upon the average daily unused portion of the Committed Amount over the preceding quarter calculated on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days (the “Unused Portion”). Each quarterly payment of the unused commitment fee shall be in an amount equal to .15% of the Unused Portion (the “Unused Facility Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt, undrawn amounts of LOC Obligations shall constitute part of the used portion of the Committed Amount.

3. SECURITY FOR THE LOAN; LOAN AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

3.1 Credit Documents and Security Documents. The Facility shall be made, evidenced, administered, secured and governed by all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the “Credit Documents”, each as the same may be hereafter modified or amended, consisting of: (i) this Agreement; (ii) separate Notes in the form of Exhibit F annexed hereto, with one Note being payable to each Lender in the original principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment, such promissory notes to be in the aggregate original principal amount of One Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($140,000,000.00); (iii) the LOC Documents; (iv) the Direction Letters, if any; (v) the Fee Letter; (vi) the Environmental Indemnity; (vii) the Security Documents; (viii) the Guaranty; and (ix) any and all other related agreements and documents issued or delivered hereunder or thereunder or pursuant hereto or thereto executed to further evidence or secure the Facility.

3.2 Collateral. (a) Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have a first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral at Closing and at all times prior to Maturity, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Pledge Agreement. With respect to each of the Portfolio Investments in a Portfolio Investment Entity listed on Exhibit K, Borrower will pledge to Administrative Agent and Lenders certain of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to each of the Portfolio Investments, as the same may be modified from time to time in accordance with this Section 3.2. With respect to such pledges, Borrower will execute and deliver on the Closing Date (i) the Pledge Agreement, (ii) UCC-1 financing statements with respect to such pledges, and (iii) any additional documents or instruments reasonably requested by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders in order to evidence or perfect such pledges, with all such documents to be in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders.

(b) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time to file UCC financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto describing the Collateral without the signature of Borrower. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt written notice of any such filing.

(c) As provided in Section 7.2.8, Borrower shall give written notice to Administrative Agent prior to the making of any Portfolio Disposition by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which notice shall be accompanied by a written certification by Borrower in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto stating that Borrower will be in full compliance with all covenants contained herein or in the other Credit Documents, including without limitation the covenants set forth in Section 7.3, after giving effect to the proposed Portfolio Disposition, and which notice shall be

accompanied by evidence of such compliance satisfactory to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders. Borrower shall give written notice to Administrative Agent upon its acquisition of any new Portfolio Investment.

(d) Administrative Agent shall be authorized and obligated to release, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a written request from Borrower, any of the Portfolio Investments from any security interests, liens or other encumbrances under the Pledge Agreement or any other Security Document that is the subject of a proposed Portfolio Disposition in compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 3.2 (each, a “Permitted Portfolio Disposition”). Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a written request from Borrower, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders will execute and deliver such instruments as are reasonably required to confirm the release of the security interest, lien and/or other encumbrance of Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to such Portfolio Investment (which release may be concurrent with and conditioned on the consummation of such Permitted Portfolio Disposition) (i) that is the subject of a Permitted Portfolio Disposition or (ii) with respect to which Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders has otherwise released its security interest, including UCC-3 partial releases.

(e) Each new Portfolio Investment made by Borrower after the date hereof shall automatically become a part of the Collateral, and, upon any such addition to the Collateral, Borrower shall execute and deliver or cause to be delivered such security documents and additional documents or instruments reasonably requested by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders with respect to the new Collateral, with all such documents to be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders; provided, however, that, if the terms of any third party financing proposed to be obtained in connection with the acquisition of a Portfolio Asset relating to a Portfolio Investment would prohibit the Borrower from pledging in favor of Administrative Agent and the Lenders 100% of a Portfolio Investment, then Borrower shall be required to pledge only that portion of such Portfolio Investment permitted to be pledged under such financing (and, in each case, to the greatest extent so permitted); provided further however, that in no event shall Borrower pledge less than 49% of any such Portfolio Investment without the consent of Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(f) Subject to Section 3.2(g) below, and provided that Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants contained in Section 7.3 of this Agreement and an Event of Default does not exist, and provided that Borrower complies with the provisions of Section 7.2.6 of this Agreement with respect to any proposed Portfolio Disposition, Borrower may make and may cause its Subsidiaries to make Portfolio Dispositions.

(g) If Borrower’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio exceeds seventy percent (70%) after giving effect to such Portfolio Disposition, the Borrower shall reduce the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans by the amount necessary to maintain compliance with Borrower’s covenants contained herein or in the other Credit Documents, including without limitation the covenants set forth in Section 7.3. The foregoing reductions in the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans are collectively referred to herein as a “Required Reduction.” Any Required Reduction shall not reduce the Maximum Loan Amount. Any Required Reduction shall be calculated based on the Pro Forma Reduction Calculation attached hereto as Exhibit L. The Total Asset Value of any Portfolio Investment used for the purpose of making

the calculation of the Required Reduction under this Section 3.2(g) shall be based on the most recent Appraised Asset Values of the Portfolio Assets associated with such Portfolio Investment.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, (A) after an Event of Default and while such Event of Default is continuing, (B) if an Event of Default is created as a result of a Portfolio Disposition, or (C) if a Portfolio Disposition results in Borrower not being in compliance with any of Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 7.3 (other than the Consolidated Leverage Ratio requirement set forth in Section 7.3(a)), then one hundred percent (100%) of Net Sales Proceeds (or so much of such Net Sales Proceeds as is required to cure such Event of Default or to bring Borrower into compliance with Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 7.3, as applicable) shall be applied to reduce the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans and there shall be a corresponding Required Reduction; provided, however, if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is greater than seventy percent (70%) and there is no Event of Default (including as a result of a Portfolio Disposition) and Borrower is otherwise in compliance with Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 7.3, the provisions of Section 3.2(g) shall apply to Portfolio Dispositions and Borrower shall not be required to apply Net Sales Proceeds to reduce the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans as provided in this Section 3.2(h).

(i) All Required Reductions made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.2(g) and 3.2(h) shall constitute “Mandatory Prepayments” subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.10(b).

3.3 Borrower Escrow Account.

(i) Borrower shall place funds in a Borrower Escrow Account as required by this Section 3.3. The Borrower Escrow Account shall serve as additional collateral for the Facility and the Borrower Obligations.

(ii) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, except as provided in Section 7.9, Borrower shall deposit into the Borrower Escrow Account all Net Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter that is Available for Distribution to Borrower derived from any Portfolio Investment until such time that Borrower is in compliance with all covenants of Borrower hereunder, including without limitation, the covenants under Section 7.3. Deposits into the Borrower Escrow Account shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the end of the fiscal quarter for which such deposit is due and, to the extent sufficient information is not available to Borrower to make a final determination of the amounts due on or before such fifteenth (15^th) day, a final payment (if necessary) shall be made on or before the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the end of such quarter.

(iii) If Borrower is required to deposit funds into the Borrower Escrow Account and thereafter Borrower is able to provide written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders that no Event of Default currently exists, then (a) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the balance remaining in the Borrower Escrow Account (including any income earned on amounts deposited in the Borrower Escrow Account), if any, shall be disbursed to Borrower or as Borrower shall otherwise direct Administrative Agent in writing. The written evidence of such compliance referred to in the preceding sentence will be deemed satisfactory and approved by the Administrative Agent on

behalf of Lenders unless written notice outlining the reason for disapproval is received by Borrower from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Administrative Agent of first notice of such compliance.

(iv) Administrative Agent may, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default and on the Maturity Date, and, at the request of Borrower on any Interest Payment Date, Administrative Agent will apply all amounts existing in the Borrower Escrow Account (including any income earned on amounts deposited in the Borrower Escrow Account) as follows: (i) first, to accrued but unpaid interest of the Loans outstanding, and (ii) second, to a reduction of the principal amount on the Loans outstanding and all other amounts due and owing under this Agreement (including, after the Loans have been repaid in full, to the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations); provided that, with respect to any amounts remaining in the Borrower Escrow Account subsequent to any Interest Payment Date, such amounts may be applied by Administrative Agent only to the principal balance of the Loans, and not to any future interest payments (until the next subsequent Interest Payment Date). After the principal amount of the Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts owing under the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, the LOC Obligations) have been paid in full and all commitments under the Credit Documents have been terminated, the Borrower Escrow Account shall be closed and the balance remaining (including any income earned thereon), if any, shall be returned to Borrower.

If Borrower is required to deposit funds into the Borrower Escrow Account for two consecutive fiscal quarters, then Administrative Agent shall have the right on and after the date that the second quarterly deposit is due to deliver the Direction Letters to the addressees named thereon. Administrative Agent shall not deliver the Direction Letters prior to such date.

This covenant shall be tested quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter, at the time each new Loan is made, and in connection with the delivery of an officer’s certificate pursuant to Section 7.2.6.

(b) Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. The ratio of the EBITDA to the Interest Expense shall be greater than 1.65 to 1.00; provided, however, upon the commencement of the first Extension Term, such ratio shall be greater than 1.75 to 1.00. This covenant shall be tested quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter, at the time of each Loan, and in connection with the delivery of an officer’s certificate pursuant to Section 7.2.6, in each case with respect to the prior two (2) fiscal quarters most recently ended, annualized; provided that pro forma financial information shall be provided for each fiscal quarter for which actual results are not then available.

(a) incur any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness arising under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) that is recourse to Borrower (excepting customary environmental and other indemnification obligations in respect of Indebtedness of Persons in which Borrower has an interest which is not otherwise recourse to Borrower);

(b) provide any completion or other guarantees either directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through a joint venture) in excess of $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate; and

(d) further encumber the Portfolio Investments; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the right of Borrower to cause the refinancing of any Funded Debt on such terms and conditions as Borrower may direct (including the granting of liens on Portfolio Investments and the granting of direct and indirect interests therein, or Borrower’s becoming subject to an agreement prohibiting or otherwise restricting the creation of liens on Portfolio Investments) so long as such refinancing does not cause the violation of any of the covenants set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement. In connection with any such refinancing, Borrower covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all existing pledges and assignments of economic interests granted with respect to Borrower’s interests in Portfolio Investments by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party. In the event such refinancing requires the release of Lenders’ security interests in all or part of any Portfolio Investment that is the subject of the refinancing permitted by this Section 7.4(d), then Administrative Agent is authorized and shall be obligated to release such Portfolio Investment from all pledges thereof and security interests therein created by the Credit Documents; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may refuse to release any more than 51% of any such Portfolio Investment from any such pledge or security interest, unless Administrative Agent has given its consent to such refinancing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If such refinancing will result in

Borrower’s noncompliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans shall be reduced by the amount necessary to maintain compliance with Borrower’s covenants contained in Section 7.3. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a written request from Borrower and provided Borrower has satisfied the foregoing reduction requirement, if applicable, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders shall execute such releases of Lenders’ security interests in the Portfolio Investments that are the subject of a refinancing permitted by this Section 7.4(d) as Borrower reasonably requests in connection with such refinancing.

(e) Except as specifically set forth in Section 7.4(d) and Section 7.5 which provide instances in which Administrative Agent’s consent is required, nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall, and Borrower is hereby specifically permitted to and to permit or cause any Subsidiary or Portfolio Investment Entity to, mortgage, grant securities interests in, and otherwise encumber any Portfolio Asset and the direct and indirect interests of any Portfolio Entity in any Portfolio Asset.

7.5 Liens/Negative Pledges. Except as permitted in Section 7.4(d) hereof, the Borrower will not either (i) contract, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any additional Lien (other than Permitted Liens) with respect to any of the Portfolio Investments, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or (ii) enter into, assume or become subject to any agreement (other than this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Funded Debt Documents listed and described on Exhibit B) (A) prohibiting or otherwise restricting the creation or assumption of any Lien upon any of the Portfolio Investments or (B) requiring the Borrower to xxxxx x Xxxx to a Person in the event Borrower grants a Lien on a Portfolio Investment to another Person.

7.6 Nature of Business. The Borrower will not alter in a material way the character or conduct of its business from that conducted as of the Closing Date which is and shall be limited to the business permitted by the Partnership Agreement as of the Closing Date; provided, however, this Section 7.6 shall not be construed to prevent the Borrower from making procedural changes in the manner in which Borrower conducts its ordinary business operations.

For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Borrower use the proceeds of this Facility to make distributions or dividends.

7.10 Transactions with Portfolio Investments. Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction or series of transactions with any partner or any employee of any member of the Combined Group or any Portfolio Investment Entity other than on terms and conditions substantially as favorable to such Person as would be obtainable by it in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person other than any partner, employee or Portfolio Investment Entity, unless such transaction or series of transactions, would not or could not reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or otherwise be materially detrimental to the economic interests of the Combined Group taken as a whole.

7.11 Amendments. To the extent that any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or termination of any provisions of the Partnership Agreement, or other governing or organizational document of Borrower or any other member of the Combined Group would permit proceeds of the Loans to be used in a manner inconsistent with such governing or organizational document in effect at the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any other member of the Combined Group to, apply proceeds of the Loans in a manner inconsistent with what was permitted under the governing or organizational documents in effect on the Closing Date.

Administrative Agent may require Borrower to use its best efforts to obtain updated MAI Appraisals for Portfolio Assets which Borrower has previously delivered MAI Appraisals to Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense , but if an updated MAI Appraisal is requested for any Portfolio Asset for which an MAI Appraisal is available that is less than one (1) year old, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall pay the costs of such requested appraisal.

As to the nonpayment of a scheduled interest payment or a scheduled installment of principal prior to Maturity, there shall be a ten (10) day grace period without any requirement of notice from Administrative Agent, subject, however, to Section 2.3.13 above; provided, however, Borrower shall only be entitled to such 10-day grace period

once in any calendar year with no grace or notice period as to any subsequent nonpayment within the relevant calendar year.

9.2.3 Other Monetary Defaults. All other monetary defaults shall have a five (5) day grace period following notice from Administrative Agent (unless otherwise specifically provided for herein), or, if shorter, a grace period without notice until five (5) Business Days before the last day on which payment is required to be made in order to avoid: (i) the cancellation or lapse of required insurance, or (ii) a tax sale or the imposition of late charges or penalties in respect of taxes or other municipal charges;

9.2.4 Nonmonetary Defaults Capable of Cure. As to nonmonetary defaults which are reasonably capable of being cured or remedied, unless there is a specific shorter or longer grace period provided for in this Agreement or in another Credit Document, there shall be a thirty (30) day grace period following notice from Administrative Agent or, if such default would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to cure or remedy, such longer period of time not to exceed a total of one hundred eighty (180) days from Administrative Agent’s notice as may be reasonably required so long as Borrower shall commence reasonable actions to remedy or cure the default within thirty (30) days following such notice and shall diligently prosecute such curative action to completion within such one hundred eighty (180) day period. As to breaches of warranties and representations (other than those set forth in Section 6.1 above) there shall be a thirty (30) day grace period following notice from Administrative Agent.

9.3 Certain Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

9.3.1 Termination of Commitments. Administrative Agent may declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.

9.3.2 Accelerate Debt. Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable, provided that in the case of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy filed by Borrower or (after the expiration of the grace period if any set forth in Section 9.1.3 above) an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against Borrower, such acceleration shall be automatic.

9.3.3 Pursue Remedies. Administrative Agent may pursue any and all remedies provided for hereunder, or under any one or more of the other Credit Documents.

9.3.4 Written Waivers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Default or an Event of Default is waived by the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, in their sole discretion, pursuant to a specific written instrument executed by an authorized officer of Administrative Agent, or if a Default or an Event of Default is timely cured by Borrower, the Default or Event of Default so waived or Default so cured shall be deemed to have never occurred.

9.3.5 Cash Collateral. Administrative Agent may direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1.3, it will immediately pay) to the Administrative Agent cash, to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional security for the LOC Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the LOC Obligations (taking into account any cash on deposit with Administrative Agent from Net Cash Flow pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof in amounts in excess of the then outstanding Borrower Obligations).

9.3.6 Enforcement of Rights. Administrative Agent may enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Credit Documents and all rights of set off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1.3 shall occur as to Borrower, then the Commitments shall automatically terminate and all Loans, all reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, all accrued interest in respect thereof, all accrued and unpaid Fees and other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and/or any of the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents automatically shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

Notwithstanding the fact that enforcement powers reside primarily with Administrative Agent, subject to the provisions of Section 11, each Lender has, to the extent permitted by law, a separate right of payment and shall be considered a separate “creditor” holding a separate “claim” within the meaning of Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency statute; provided however, no Lender shall take any action with respect to its claim without first obtaining the consent of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent (other than filing a proof of claim) or vote its claim in a manner inconsistent with the vote of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent.

10. SECURITY INTEREST AND SET-OFF.

10.1 Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Administrative Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of Key Corp. or in transit to any of them.

10.2 Set-Off and Debit. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, any deposits, balances or other sums credited by or due from Administrative Agent or any Lender, or from any affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender, to Borrower may to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law at any time or from time to time, without regard to the existence, sufficiency or adequacy of any other collateral, and without notice or compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise, all of which

are hereby waived, be set off, debited and appropriated, and applied by Administrative Agent or any Lender against any or all of the Borrower Obligations irrespective of whether demand shall have been made and although such obligations may be unmatured, in such manner as Administrative Agent or any Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off, debit or appropriation and application, Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender agrees to notify Borrower thereof, provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off, debit or appropriation and application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, other than the obligations evidenced by the Note held by such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other indebtedness and to the obligations evidenced by all of the Notes held by such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Note held by such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Note held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

10.3 Right to Freeze. Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall also have the right, at its option, upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle Administrative Agent or any Lender to set off or debit as set forth in Section 10.2, to freeze, block or segregate any such deposits, balances and other sums so that Borrower may not access, control or draw upon the same.

10.4 Additional Rights. The rights of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each affiliate of Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders under this Section 10 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, other rights and remedies, including other rights of set off, which Administrative Agent, or any Lender may have.

11. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS

11.1 Appointment of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints KeyBank National Association as Administrative Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions, exercise such powers and perform such

duties as are expressly delegated to or conferred upon the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Section 11. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents, nor shall it have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 11 (except for Sections 11.10, 11.12, 11.15.1, 11.15.2 (v) — (viii), 11.15.3, 11.15.4, 11.15.5, 11.16, 11.20 and 11.22) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.

11.2 Administration of Facility by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be responsible for administering the Facility on a day-to-day basis. In the exercise of such administrative duties, the Administrative Agent shall use the same diligence and standard of care that is customarily used by the Administrative Agent with respect to similar loans held by the Administrative Agent solely for its own account.

Each Lender delegates to the Administrative Agent the full right and authority on its behalf to take the following specific actions in connection with its administration of the Facility:

(i) to fund the Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents, but only to the extent of immediately available funds provided to the Administrative Agent by the respective Lenders for such purpose;

(ii) to receive all payments of principal, interest, fees and other charges paid by, or on behalf of, the Borrower and, except for fees to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise, to distribute all such funds to the respective Lenders as provided for hereunder;

(iii) to keep and maintain complete and accurate files and records of all material matters pertaining to the Facility, and make such files and records available for inspection and copying by each Lender and its respective employees and agents during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent; and

(iv) to do or omit doing all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or incident to the implementation, administration and servicing of the Facility and the rights and duties delegated hereinabove.

11.3 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through its agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

11.4 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for any action lawfully

taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, except for its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any of its officers or agents contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection therewith; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in, or the conditions of, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; (iii) the state or condition of any properties of the Borrower or the Assets, or any information contained in the books or records of the Borrower; (iv) the validity, enforceability, collectibility, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other certificate, document or instrument furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the validity, priority or perfection of any lien securing or purporting to secure the Borrower Obligations.

11.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of the taking or failing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with any written request of the Required Lenders, and each such request of the Required Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act by the Administrative Agent pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required in any event to act, or to refrain from acting, in any manner which is contrary to the Credit Documents or to applicable law or in any manner reasonably believed by Administrative Agent to be commercially unreasonable in the applicable jurisdiction.

11.6 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the same or has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not accelerate the indebtedness under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

11.7 Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of the Borrower and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not conditions precedent to closing any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that is has relied upon its own legal counsel in its consideration of its decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and will so rely in regard to the implementation of the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby and that it does not have any lawyer-client relationship with Administrative Agent’s counsel or counsels or any other Lenders with respect thereto.

11.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments, for (i) any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, waiver and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, action, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or any transaction contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for an additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

11.9 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Credit Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

11.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Lenders and Borrower (provided, however, such resignation shall be effective only upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.10). The Required Lenders, for good cause, may remove Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ giving notice of removal, as the case may be, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Each such successor Administrative Agent shall be a financial institution which meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder.

11.11 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In the case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Borrower Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request, or may, upon the consent, of the Required Lenders, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Required Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief or appointment of a receiver. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the

Credit Documents, including without limitation the Notes, other than through the Administrative Agent.

11.12 Respecting Loans and Payments.

11.12.1 Procedures for Loans. Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each Lender of each request from Borrower for a Loan by facsimile transmission, hand delivery or overnight courier, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) three (3) Business Days prior to any Loan. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a written summary of the request for a Loan and shall specify a) the date of the requested Loan, (b) the aggregate amount of the requested Loan, (c) each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Loan, and (d) the applicable interest rate selected by Borrower with respect to such Loan, or any portion thereof, together with the applicable Interest Period, if any, selected, or deemed selected, by Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the date set forth in any such request for a Loan, make available to Administrative Agent, at an account to be designated by Administrative Agent at KeyBank National Association in same day funds, each Lender’s ratable portion of the requested Loan. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon Administrative Agent’s determination that the applicable conditions to making the requested Loan have been fulfilled, Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower as provided for in this Agreement. Within a reasonable period of time following the making of each Loan, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following such Loan, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of Borrower’s request for such Loan. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of written request from any Lender, Administrative Agent shall deliver to the requesting Lender the accompanying certifications and such other instruments, documents, certifications and approvals delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to Administrative Agent in support of the requested Loan.

11.12.2 Nature of Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan, nor shall such failure release or diminish the obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided herein.

11.12.3 Payments to Administrative Agent. All payments of principal or and interest on the Loans or the Notes shall be made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any other obligor or guarantor for the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in the Notes and this Agreement. The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender, on the same Business Day upon which each such payment is made if possible, such Lender’s proportionate share of each such payment in immediately available funds, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. The Administrative Agent shall upon each distribution promptly notify Borrower of such distribution and each Lender of the amounts distributed to it applicable to principal of, and interest on, the

proportionate share held by the applicable Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent under the first sentence of this Section 11.12.3 shall constitute a payment by the Borrower to each Lender in the amount of such Lender’s proportionate share of such payment, and any such payment to the Administrative Agent shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose after the date of such payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent without regard to whether or when the Administrative Agent makes distribution thereof as provided above. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower is insufficient to pay both all accrued interest and all principal then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall first apply such payment to all outstanding interest until paid in full and shall then apply the remainder of such payment to all principal then due and owing, and shall distribute the payment to each Lender accordingly.

11.12.4 Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall distribute all Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:

First: To the Administrative Agent, towards any fees and any expenses for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents not theretofore paid to the Administrative Agent.

Second: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been reimbursed for all expenses which such Lenders have previously paid to the Administrative Agent and not theretofore paid to such Lenders.

Third: To all applicable Lenders based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full for any Individual Lender Litigation Expenses.

Fourth: To all Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all principal and interest due to such Lenders under the Facility, with each Lender applying such proceeds for purposes of this Agreement first against the outstanding principal balance due to such Lender under the Facility and then to accrued and unpaid interest due under the Facility.

Fifth: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Facility including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are

reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrower under the Credit Documents.

Sixth: To the Borrower or such third parties as may be entitled to claim Liquidation Proceeds.

11.12.5 Adjustments. If, after Administrative Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by Administrative Agent in respect of the Facility, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, sharing of payments clause of any agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Administrative Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to Administrative Agent, together with the Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application.

11.12.6 Setoff. If any Lender (including the Administrative Agent), acting in its individual capacity, shall exercise any right of setoff against a deposit balance or other account of the Borrower held by such Lender on account of the Borrower Obligations, such Lender shall remit to the Administrative Agent all such sums received pursuant to the exercise of such right of setoff, and the Administrative Agent shall apply all such sums for the benefit of all of the Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

11.12.7 Distribution by Administrative Agent. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under the Notes or under any of the other Credit Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such persons as shall be determined by such court.

11.12.8 Actions by Administrative Agent. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any sale or other disposition of any collateral or other property of Borrower and shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect to all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions provided that Administrative Agent need not comply with any such directions to the extent Administrative Agent reasonably believes the

Administrative Agent’s compliance with such directions would constitute a violation of the obligations undertaken by the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders under the Credit Documents, or will constitute a violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation applicable to the Administrative Agent or be commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

11.13 Delinquent Lender. If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loan, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of the outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of the outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all the outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.

The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration, (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Credit Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and funds advanced by Administrative Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of any Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Credit Documents.

11.14 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be

conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

11.15.2 Certain Representations and Warranties. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the parties thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document

furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest;

(ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower and its affiliates, related entities or Subsidiaries or any other person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of any of the Borrower Obligations, or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of any of the Borrower Obligations or any of their obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto;

(iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with copies of the most recent financial statements provided by the Borrower as required by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;

(v) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee if required hereunder;

(vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto;

(vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and

(viii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a

Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall make available the Register for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent a registration fee in the sum of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00).

11.15.4 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be substantially in the form of the assigned Notes. Within thirty (30) days of issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this Section 11.15.4, the Borrower, at the expense of the assignee Lender (which expense shall not be reimbursed by Borrower), shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Notes and the legality, validity and binding effect thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

11.15.5 Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions in all or any portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that (a) each such participation shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (b) each participant shall meet the requirements of an Eligible Assignee, (c) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder to the Borrower, and (d) the only rights granted to the participant pursuant to such participation arrangements with respect to waivers, amendments or modifications of the Credit Documents shall be the rights to approve waivers, amendments or modifications that would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loans, extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Lender as it relates to such participant, reduce the amount of any commitment fees to which such participant is entitled or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest.

11.17 Miscellaneous Assignment Provisions. Anything contained in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Notes) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents.

11.18 Reserved.

11.19 Amendment, Waiver, Consent, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, no term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, nor may any consent required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Credit Document be given, unless such change, waiver, discharge, termination or consent receives the written approval of the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the unanimous written approval of all the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall be required with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver, discharge, termination, or consent which:

(i) has the effect of (a) extending the final scheduled maturity or the date of any amortization payment of any Loan or Note, (b) reducing the rate or extending the time of payment of interest or fees thereon, (c) increasing or reducing the principal amount thereof, or (d) otherwise postponing or forgiving any indebtedness thereunder.

(ii) releases or discharges any material portion of any collateral other than in accordance with the express provisions of the Credit Documents.

(iii) amends, modifies or waives any provisions of this paragraph.

(iv) amends any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement.

(v) reduces the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders,

(vi) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, changes the amount of any Lender’s Commitment or Commitment Percentage, or

(vii) releases or waives any guaranty of the Borrower Obligations or indemnifications provided in the Credit Documents;

and provided, further, that without the consent of the Administrative Agent, no such action shall amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11 or any other provisions of any Credit Document which relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower or Administrative Agent requests any consent, waiver or approval under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or an amendment or modification hereof or thereof, and one or more Lenders determine not to consent or agree to such consent, waiver, approval, amendment or modification, then the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the right to purchase the Commitment of such non-consenting Lender(s) at a purchase price equal to the then outstanding amount of principal, interest and fees then owing to such Lender(s) by the Borrower hereunder, and such non-consenting Lender(s) shall immediately upon request, sell and assign its Commitment and all of its other right, title and interest in the Loans and other Borrower Obligations to the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption (provided that the selling Lender(s) shall not be responsible to pay any assignment fee in connection therewith).

11.20 Deemed Consent or Approval. With respect to any requested amendment, waiver, consent or other action which requires the approval of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if the Administrative Agent is required hereunder to seek or desires to seek, the approval of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, prior to undertaking a particular action or course of conduct, the Administrative Agent in each such case shall provide each Lender with written notice of any such request for amendment, waiver or consent or any other requested or proposed action or course of conduct, accompanied by such detailed background information and explanations as may be reasonably necessary to determine whether to approve or disapprove such amendment, waiver, consent or other action or course of conduct, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) include in any such notice, printed in capital letters or boldface type a legend substantially to the following effect:

“THIS COMMUNICATION REQUIRES IMMEDIATE RESPONSE, FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE RECEIPT OF THIS COMMUNICATION SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEEMED APPROVAL BY THE ADDRESSEE OF THE ACTION REQUESTED BY THE BORROWER OR THE COURSE OF CONDUCT PROPOSED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND RECITED ABOVE.”

If the foregoing legend is included by the Administrative Agent in its communication, a Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such action or course of conduct for all purposes hereunder if such Lender fails to object to such action or course of conduct by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) calendar days of such Lender’s receipt of such notice.

11.21 Borrower Indemnification of Lenders. In addition to the indemnifications provided by Borrower to the Lenders otherwise provided herein or in any other Credit Document, Borrower shall also indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders against any liability, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and Lenders as a result of any Environmental Claim related to any real estate or other assets held by the Borrower or any other member of the Combined Group, provided that the same are not due to the fraud or gross negligence of Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent and Lenders against any liability, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and Lenders as a result of lawsuits and litigation that may arise in connection with the activities of Borrower or any other member of the Combined Group, provided that the same are not due to the fraud or gross negligence of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

All indemnification provided by Borrower to Administrative Agent and Lenders, including without limitation the aforementioned indemnifications, shall survive and continue for the benefit of the indemnities thereunder, notwithstanding any termination of the Facility or payment in full of the obligations thereunder and hereunder.

11.22 Borrower’s Communication with Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall be entitled to rely on its communications with the Administrative Agent as the agent of the Lenders, and may, but shall not be required to, communicate separately with any Lender with respect to the Facility.

12.4 Parties Bound. The provisions of this Agreement and of each of the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise prohibited by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

This Agreement is a contract by and among Borrower, Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders for their mutual benefit, and no third person shall have any right, claim or interest against either Administrative Agent, or any Lender or Borrower by virtue of any provision hereof.

12.5 Waivers and Extensions. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent may, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders or the same requires unanimous consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.19 hereof, at any time and from time to time waive any one or more of the conditions contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, or extend the time of payment of any Loan, but any such waiver or extension shall be deemed to be made in pursuance and not in modification hereof, and any such waiver in any instance, or under any particular circumstance, shall not be considered a waiver of such condition in any other instance or any other circumstance.

12.6 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial.

12.6.1 Substantial Relationship. It is understood and agreed that all of the Credit Documents were negotiated, executed and delivered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which Commonwealth the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transactions embodied by the Credit Documents.

12.6.2 Place of Delivery. Borrower agrees to furnish to Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office in Boston, Massachusetts all further instruments, certifications and documents to be furnished hereunder.

12.6.3 Governing Law. This Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

12.6.4 Consent to Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in any state or Federal court located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

12.6.5 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND EACH OF THE LENDERS MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OF THE LENDERS TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

12.7 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrower provided herein or in any other Credit Document, or in any notice, certificate, or other paper delivered by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant hereto are significant and shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders notwithstanding any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on its behalf and shall survive the delivery of the Credit Documents and the making of the Facility and each advance pursuant thereto. No review or approval by Administrative Agent, or any Lender, or by Lenders’ consultants or any representatives, of any plans and specifications, opinion letters, certificates by professionals or other item of any nature shall relieve Borrower or anyone else of any of the obligations, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of Borrower under any one or more of the Credit Documents.

12.8 Cumulative Rights. All of the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under each of the other Credit Documents and any other agreement now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or therewith, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, together, or in such combination as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole judgment.

12.9 Claims Against Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

12.9.1 Borrower Must Notify. Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Credit Document, unless a notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders within thirty (30) days after Borrower first had actual knowledge or actual notice of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders do not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, with reasonable promptness thereafter.

12.9.2 Remedies. If it is determined by the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, which is not subject to further appeal, that Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender has breached any of their respective obligations under the Credit Documents and has not remedied or cured the same with reasonable promptness following notice thereof as required above, the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Lender’s and the Lenders’ responsibilities shall be limited to: (i) where the breach consists of the failure to grant consent or give approval in violation of the terms and requirements of a Credit Document, the obligation to grant such consent or give such approval and to pay Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings; (ii) where the breach consists of the failure to make a Loan or issue a Letter of Credit, the obligation to make such Loan or issue such Letter of Credit and to pay Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings; and (iii) in the case of any default by Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, where it is also so determined that Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender acted in bad faith, or that Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing

Lender’s or any Lenders’ default constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct, the payment of any actual, direct, compensatory damages sustained by Borrower as a result thereof plus Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings.

12.9.3 Limitations. In no event, however, shall Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders be liable to Borrower or to anyone else for other damages such as, but not limited to, indirect, speculative or punitive damages whatever the nature of the breach by Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents. In no event shall Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender be liable to Borrower or to anyone else unless a notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders within the time period specified above.

12.10 Obligations Absolute. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, the Borrower Obligations shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid and/or performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against Administrative Agent or any Lender whether in connection with the Facility or any unrelated transaction.

12.11 Table of Contents, Title and Headings; Exhibits and Schedules. Any table of contents and the titles and the headings of sections are not parts of this Agreement or any other Credit Document and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of their provisions. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto or made a part hereof are incorporated by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement.

12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart which is executed by the party against whom enforcement of this Agreement is sought.

12.13 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties to the Credit Documents on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.13 shall not be interpreted as integrating or superseding any agreements or understandings relating to the refinancing of the Facility or any portion of the Borrower’s Obligations hereunder pursuant to a separate agreement by one or more of the parties hereto.

12.14 Time Of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement and each other Credit Document.

12.15 No Oral Change. This Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents may only be amended, terminated, extended or otherwise modified by a writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought (except no such writing shall be required for any party which, pursuant to a specific provision of any Credit Document, is required to be bound by changes without such party’s assent). In no event shall any oral agreements, promises, actions, inactions, knowledge, course of conduct, course of dealings or the like be effective to amend, terminate, extend or otherwise modify this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

12.16 Monthly Statements. While Administrative Agent may issue invoices or other statements on a monthly or periodic basis (a “Statement”), it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that, subject to the terms of Section 2.3.13 above: (i) the failure of Administrative Agent to issue any Statement on one or more occasions shall not affect Borrower’s obligations to make payments under the Credit Documents as and when due; (ii) the inaccuracy of any Statement shall not be binding upon Administrative Agent and Borrower shall always remain obligated to pay the full amount(s) required under the Credit Documents as and when due notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Statement; (iii) all Statements are issued for informational purposes only and shall never constitute any type of offer, acceptance, modification, or waiver of the Credit Documents or any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or remedies thereunder; and (iv) in no event shall any Statement serve as the basis for, or a component of, any course of dealing, course of conduct, or trade practice which would modify, alter, or otherwise affect the express written terms of the Credit Documents.

12.17 Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders and the shareholders, directors, agents, officers, subsidiaries and affiliates of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders from and against any and all claims, demands, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, settlement payments, obligations, damages and expenses of every nature and character in connection therewith, arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or which otherwise arise in connection with the financing, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, and any claims, demand, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or the failure of the Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this Section 12.17 to indemnify any Person for (x) liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) as to any dispute to the extent the same is exclusively among the Lenders and/or the Issuing Lender, or (z) any insolvency of a Lender or the Issuing Lender if the same is caused by such Lender or the Issuing Lender being a party to the Credit Documents. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 12.17 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this Section 12.17 shall survive the repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations of the Issuing Lender and Lenders hereunder

and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the possibility of any such claim, action, cause of action or suit exists.

12.18 Titled Agents. Each of the titled agents (other than the Administrative Agent) in each such respective capacity assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “Co-Syndication Agent” and “Co-Documentation Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of such titled agents to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on such titled agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle such titled agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

4. Certain Waivers, Consents and Agreements.

Each and every party liable hereon or for the indebtedness evidenced hereby whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise hereby: (a) waives presentment, demand, protest, suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof; (b) waives any defenses based upon and specifically assents to any and all extensions and postponements of the time for payment, changes in terms and conditions and all other indulgences and forbearances which may be

105

granted by the holder to any party now or hereafter liable hereunder or for the indebtedness evidenced hereby; (c) agrees to any substitution, exchange, release, surrender or other delivery of any security or collateral now or hereafter held hereunder or in connection with the Agreement, or any of the other Credit Documents, and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable; (d) agrees that if any security or collateral given to secure this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby or to secure any of the obligations set forth or referred to in the Agreement, or any of the other Credit Documents, shall be found to be unenforceable in full or to any extent, or if Administrative Agent or any other party shall fail to duly perfect or protect such collateral, the same shall not relieve or release any party liable hereon or thereon nor vitiate any other security or collateral given for any obligations evidenced hereby or thereby; (e) to the extent required by the terms of the Agreement, agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders or any other holder of this Note in connection with the collection of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and the enforcement of rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, whether or not suit is instituted and certain other costs or expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and/or the Lender as provided in the Agreement; and (f) consents to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Note, the Agreement, and all other instruments now or hereafter executed evidencing or governing all or any portion of the Borrower Obligations or the security or collateral for this Note and for such Agreement, or any one or more of the other Credit Documents to which such Person is a party.

All proceeds of the Facility shall be used solely for the purposes more particularly provided for and limited by the Agreement.
