RECITALS

A. The Borrowers have requested the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrowers in the form of a single disbursement term loan and that DBTCA agree to act as administrative agent for the benefit of the Lenders with respect to such credit extension.

B. The Lenders party hereto have agreed to extend such credit facility and DBTCA has agreed to act as administrative agent on behalf of the Lenders on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents (as that term and capitalized terms are defined in, or the location of the definitions thereof referenced in, the Glossary attached hereto as Annex I and by this reference incorporated herein).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

ARTICLE 1. Credit Facility.

1.1 Term Loan Amount. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Lenders severally agree that they shall fund their respective Percentage Shares of a term loan (the "Term Loan"), in the amount of $250,000,000. Principal amounts on the Term Loan that are repaid or prepaid by Borrowers may not be reborrowed.

1.2 Funding of Term Loan. Each Lender shall make its Percentage Share of the Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in same-day funds, on the Closing Date at the Contact Office, ABA 000-000-000 for the Administrative Agent's Account No. 00-000-000, Ref: Macerich Partnership, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date. The failure of any Lender to advance its Percentage Share of the Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to advance its Percentage Share thereof, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its required advance.

1.3 Repayment of Principal. Subject to (i) the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 3.3(2), (ii) the amortization payment provisions of Section 3.4 below, (iii) the Term Loan extension provisions of Section 1.4 below, and (iv) any earlier acceleration of the Term Loan

following an Event of Default, the principal balance of the Term Loan shall be payable in full on July 26, 2005 (the "Original Maturity Date").

1.4 Term Loan Extension.

(1) Provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option, to be exercised by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to the Original Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to extend the Original Maturity Date by twelve (12) months to July 26, 2006 (the "First Extended Maturity Date"). The request by the Borrowers for the extension of the Original Maturity Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower Parties that no Potential Default or Event of Default then exists and that all of the conditions set forth in Section 1.4(2) below shall have been satisfied on the Original Maturity Date.

(2) The obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to extend the Original Maturity Date as provided in Section 1.4(1) shall be subject to the prior satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent as determined by the Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment: (A) on the Original Maturity Date there shall exist no Potential Default or Event of Default; (B) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an extension fee (the "First Extension Fee") equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (which fee Borrowers hereby agree shall be fully earned and nonrefundable under any circumstances when paid); (C) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the Original Maturity Date (provided, however, that any factual matters disclosed in the Schedules referenced in Article 6 shall be subject to update in accordance with clause (D) below); (D) the Borrower Parties shall have delivered updates to the Administrative Agent of all the Schedules set forth in Article 6 hereof and such updated Schedules shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment; (E) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that MAC and Borrowers are in compliance with the covenants set forth in Article 8; (F) Borrowers shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and all reasonable fees and expenses paid to third party consultants (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) by Administrative Agent in connection with such extension; and (G) the Guarantors shall have acknowledged and ratified that their obligations under the Guaranties remain in full force and effect, and continue to guaranty the Obligations under the Loan Documents, as extended.

(3) In the event that the Original Maturity Date has been extended as provided in Sections 1.4(1) and (2), then provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option, to be exercised by giving written notice to the Agent hereto at least thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date by an additional twelve (12) months to July 26, 2007 (the "Second Extended Maturity Date"). The request by the Borrowers for the further extension of the First Extended Maturity Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower Parties that no Potential Default or Event of Default then exists and that all of the conditions set forth in Section 1.4(4) below shall have been satisfied on the First Extended Maturity Date.

(4) The obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to extend the First Extended Maturity Date as provided in Section 1.4(3) shall be subject to the satisfaction of

each of the following conditions precedent as determined by the Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment: (A) on the First Extended Maturity Date there shall exist no Potential Default or Event of Default; (B) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an extension fee (the "Second Extension Fee") equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (which fee Borrowers hereby agree shall be fully earned and nonrefundable under any circumstances when paid); (C) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the First Extended Maturity Date (provided, however, that any factual matters disclosed in the Schedules referenced in Article 6 shall be subject to update in accordance with clause (D) below); (D) the Borrower Parties shall have delivered updates to the Administrative Agent of all the Schedules set forth in Article 6 hereof and such updated Schedules shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment; (E) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that MAC and Borrowers are in compliance with the covenants set forth in Article 8; (F) Borrowers shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and all reasonable fees and expenses paid to third party consultants (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) by Administrative Agent in connection with such extension; and (G) the Guarantors shall have acknowledged and ratified that their obligations under the Guaranties remain in full force and effect, and continue to guaranty the Obligations under the Loan Documents, as extended.

(5) The Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders in the event that the Original Maturity Date and the First Extended Maturity Date are extended as provided in this Section 1.4.

1.5 Interest. Interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan at the rates and on the dates set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 below.

1.6 Joint Borrower Provisions.

(1) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes the other Borrowers as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take actions under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication from or to any of the Borrowers (including, without limitation, any notice, consent or other instructions from any of the Borrowers) without any confirming communication from or to the other Borrowers; provided, however, that upon notice to any Borrower (which notice shall be given at the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to fail or refuse to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (to the extent such action requires communication, including, without limitation, any notice, consent or other instructions, from any of the Borrowers), unless the Administrative Agent has received confirming communications from all Borrowers. Any action taken by one Borrower under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be conclusively binding upon the other Borrowers.

(2) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the payment of all Obligations and that such liability is independent of the liability and obligation of the other Borrowers with respect thereto, whether such Obligations are due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated or whether such Obligations otherwise become unenforceable against the other Borrowers. Any payment by a Borrower of an Obligation shall not reduce its liability and

obligation with respect to all other Obligations hereunder. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one of the Borrowers whether action is brought against the other Borrowers or whether the other Borrowers are joined in such action or actions. Each Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability and obligations hereunder, from time to time, to (i) receive and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell or otherwise dispose of any such security, (ii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its discretion may determine, and (iii) release or substitute any one or more of endorser, guarantor or co-obligors of the Obligations.

(3) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to (i) proceed against the other Borrowers, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the other Borrowers, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Borrowers, or any claim that such Borrower's Obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the other Borrowers. Until the Obligations shall have been finally, irrevocably, indefeasibly paid in full, each Borrower waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution (contractual, statutory, or otherwise) including, without limitation, any claim or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any successor statute, arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, and each Borrower waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against the other Borrowers and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security hereafter held by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders for the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations by the other Borrowers.

(4) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it will have the sole responsibility for obtaining from the other Borrowers such information concerning the other Borrowers' financial conditions or business operations as such Borrower may require, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty at any time to disclose to any Borrower any information relating to the other Borrowers, including, without limitation, information regarding its business, operations or financial condition.

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, if any amount paid on account of the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by any Lender or the Administrative Agent or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (such payment, a "Preferential Payment"), then, to the extent of such Preferential Payment, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made.

ARTICLE 2. Interest Rate and Yield-Related Provisions.

2.1 Applicable Interest Rate. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan and portions thereof shall bear interest from the date disbursed to but not including the date of payment calculated at a per annum rate equal to, at the option of and as selected by the Borrowers from time to time (subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.12 below):

(i) the Applicable LIBO Rate for the selected Interest Period, or (ii) the Applicable Base Rate during the applicable interest calculation period. Portions of the Term Loan bearing interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate shall be referred to herein sometimes as "LIBO Rate Loans" and portions of the Term Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Base Rate shall be referred to herein as "Base Rate Loans".

2.2 Payment of Interest.

(1) The Borrowers shall pay interest on Base Rate Loans monthly, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each calendar month, as set forth on an interest billing delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers (which delivery may be by facsimile transmission) no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such date.

(2) The Borrowers shall pay interest on LIBO Rate Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans with an Interest Period ending later than three months after the date funded, converted or continued, at the end of each three month period from the date funded, converted or continued and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, as set forth on an interest billing delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers (which delivery may be by facsimile transmission) no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such date.

2.3 Procedures for Interest Rate Election.

(1) The Borrowers may elect to have the Term Loan or portions thereof funded on the Closing Date as LIBO Rate Loans and may from time to time thereafter elect to convert portions of the Term Loan outstanding as Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Eurodollar Business Day preceding the proposed funding or conversion date.

(2) The Borrowers may elect to have the Term Loan or portions thereof funded on the Closing Date as Base Rate Loans and may from time to time thereafter elect to convert portions of the Term Loan outstanding as LIBO Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Eurodollar Business Day preceding the proposed funding or conversion date.

(3) Subject to subsection (4) below, any LIBO Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrowers giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election on the third Eurodollar Business Day preceding the proposed continuation date. If the Borrowers shall fail to give notice of such continuation election, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert any affected LIBO Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(4) No portion of the Term Loan shall be funded or continued as a LIBO Rate Loan and no portion of the Term Loan shall be converted into a LIBO Rate Loan if an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing on the day occurring three Eurodollar Business Days prior to the date of, or on the date of, the requested funding, continuation or conversion.

(5) Each Base Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and each LIBO Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that any Base Rate Loan or LIBO Rate Loan may be in such other amount (i) as

may result from a partial prepayment thereof pursuant to Section 3.3 or (ii) as may equal all of the then remaining outstanding balance of the Term Loan.

(6) Each request for the conversion or continuation of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan or of a LIBO Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be evidenced by the timely delivery by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent of a duly executed Rate Request (which delivery may be by facsimile transmission).

(7) In no event shall there at any time be LIBO Rate Loans outstanding having more than six (6) different Interest Periods.

(8) The Borrowers shall only request Interest Periods of one, two, three or six months.

2.4 Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephonic notice of such determination to each Lender and to the Borrowers. If such notice is given: (1) no portion of the Term Loan may be funded as a LIBO Rate Loan, (2) any Base Rate Loan that was to have been converted to a LIBO Rate Loan shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be continued as a Base Rate Loan, and (3) any outstanding LIBO Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, to a Base Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall not have the right to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan or to continue a LIBO Rate Loan as such. The Administrative Agent shall withdraw such notice in the event that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer pertain and that adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period requested by the Borrowers, and, following withdrawal of such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall have the right to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan and to continue any LIBO Rate Loan as such in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.5 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any Governmental Authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain LIBO Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement: (1) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be cancelled, and (2) LIBO Rate Loans held by such Lender then outstanding, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective Interest Periods or within such earlier period as may be required by law. In the event of a conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan prior to the end of its applicable Interest Period, the Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay any Lender affected thereby, upon demand, the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.9 below, it being agreed and understood that such conversion shall constitute a prepayment for all purposes hereof. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other Obligations.

2.6 Funding. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Percentage Share of the Term Loan in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in the Grand Cayman inter-bank market, the London inter-bank market and within the United States, but all calculations and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as though all Lenders actually fund all LIBO Rate Loans through the purchase of offshore dollar deposits in the amount of such Lender's Percentage Share of the relevant LIBO Rate Loan with a maturity corresponding to the applicable Interest Period.

2.7 Requirements of Law; Increased Costs.

(1) In the event that any applicable law, order, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or in the governmental or judicial interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality:

(A) Does or shall subject any Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loan, or change the basis of determining the Taxes imposed on payments to such Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(B) Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of interest payable on the Obligations; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Percentage Share of the Term Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall, without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10, promptly pay to such Lender, upon its written demand made through the Administrative Agent, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as determined by such Lender with respect to this Agreement or such Lender's Percentage Share of the Term Loan, so long as such Lender requires substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender.

(2) If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts so claimed payable containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by a Lender to the Borrowers, accompanied by a certification that such Lender has required substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender, shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof.

(3) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation. The provisions of this Section 2.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Term Loan and all other Obligations.

2.8 Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that:

(1) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering such Lender's Percentage Share of the Term Loan becomes aware of any event or condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.7 above or Section 2.10 below or to cease maintaining LIBO Rate Loans under Section 2.5 above, such Lender will use reasonable efforts: (i) to maintain its Percentage Share of the Term Loan through another lending office of such Lender or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would

otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 above or pursuant to Section 2.10 below would be materially reduced or eliminated or the conditions rendering such Lender incapable of maintaining LIBO Rate Loans under Section 2.5 above no longer would be applicable, and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the maintaining of such LIBO Rate Loans through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such LIBO Rate Loans or the interests of such Lender.

(2) If the Borrowers receive a notice pursuant to Section 2.7 above or pursuant to Section 2.10 below or a notice pursuant to Section 2.5 above stating that a Lender is unable to maintain LIBO Rate Loans (for reasons not generally applicable to the Required Lenders), so long as (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrowers have obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par such Lender's Percentage Share of the Term Loan and accrued interest and fees and to assume all obligations of the Lender to be replaced under the Loan Documents and (iii) such Lender to be replaced is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to the Borrowers, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may require, at the Borrowers' expense, the Lender giving such notice to assign, without recourse, all of its Percentage Share of the Term Loan and accrued interest and fees to such other Lender or Eligible Assignee pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.8 below.

2.9 Funding Indemnification. In addition to all other payment obligations hereunder, in the event: (1) any LIBO Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether following a voluntary prepayment, a mandatory prepayment or otherwise, or (2) the Borrowers shall fail to borrow the Term Loan on the Closing Date (to the extent the Borrowers have requested that the Term Loan or portions thereof be initially funded as a LIBO Rate Loan), or to continue or to make a conversion to a LIBO Rate Loan after the Borrowers have given notice thereof as required hereunder, then the Borrowers shall immediately pay to each Lender which would have funded the requested LIBO Rate Loan or holding the LIBO Rate Loans prepaid or not continued or converted, through the Administrative Agent, an additional premium sum compensating such Lender for losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with such prepayment or such failure to borrow, continue or convert. Without limiting the foregoing, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the present value (using as the discount rate an interest rate equal to the rate determined under (2) below) of the excess, if any, of (1) the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, converted or continued (or not converted, continued or borrowed) (the "Incremental Payment") for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion or continuation (or failure to convert, continue or borrow) to the last day of the then current applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to convert, continue or borrow, to the last day of the applicable Interest Period which would have commenced on the date specified therefor in the relevant notice) at the applicable LIBO Rate provided for herein with respect to such Incremental Payment, over (2) the amount of interest that would have accrued (as reasonably determined by such Lender), based upon the interest rate which such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits, on amounts comparable to the Incremental Payment and maturities comparable to such period. A determination of any Lender as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.10 Taxes.

(1) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to

deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (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 2.10) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(2) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(3) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.10) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest (except to the extent such penalties and/or interest arise as a result of a Lender's delay in dealing with any such Indemnified Tax) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(4) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(5) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers (with copies to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date hereof (or in the case of a Foreign Lender who became a Lender by way of an assignment, on or before the date of the assignment) or at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date for any payment herewith to such Lender, and from time to time as required for renewal under applicable law, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-ECI, as appropriate, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to such Lender hereunder are not subject to withholding under the Code ("Evidence of No Withholding"). Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in its applicable lending office and upon written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall, prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document, deliver Evidence of No Withholding to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall be entitled to rely on such forms in their possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to this Section 2.10(5). If a Lender fails to provide Evidence of No Withholding as required pursuant to this Section 2.10(5), then (i) the Borrowers (or the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from payments to Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure, as required by law, and (ii) the Borrowers shall not be required to make payments of additional amounts with respect to such withheld Taxes pursuant to Section 2.10(1) to the extent such withholding is required solely by reason of the failure of such Lender to provide the necessary Evidence of No Withholding.

2.11 [RESERVED]

2.12 Post-Default Interest. During such time as there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, all Obligations outstanding shall, at the election of the Administrative Agent, bear interest at a per annum rate equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) above the Applicable Base Rate in effect during the applicable calculation period (whether or not such Applicable Base Rate shall otherwise have been elected by Borrowers in accordance with this Agreement).

2.13 Computations. All computations of interest and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).

ARTICLE 3. Payments.

3.1 Evidence of Indebtedness. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Term Loan shall be evidenced by notations on the books and records of the Lenders. Such books and records shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof. Any failure to record the interest rate applicable thereto or any other information regarding the Obligations, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers with respect to any of the Obligations. Upon the request of a Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note evidencing such Lender's Percentage Share of the Term Loan.

3.2 Nature and Place of Payments. All payments made on account of the Obligations shall be made by the Borrowers, without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available same day funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority and must be received by the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of payment, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is received after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) by the Administrative Agent, such payment will be considered to have been made by the Borrowers on the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable by the Borrowers at the rate otherwise applicable thereto during such extension. All payments on account of the Obligations shall be made to the Administrative Agent through the Contact Office. If any payment required to be made by the Borrowers hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

3.3 Prepayments.

(1) Upon not less than one (1) Business Day's prior written notice (in the case of Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans with Interest Periods expiring on the date of payment) or three (3) Eurodollar Business Days' prior written notice (in the case of LIBO Rate Loans with an Interest Period not expiring on the date of payment) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide telephonic notice of the receipt thereof to each of the Lenders), the Borrowers may voluntarily prepay principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loan in whole or in part; provided, however, that voluntary prepayments shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Voluntary prepayments of principal pursuant to this Section 3.3(1), shall be credited against the principal amortization payments next due as required under Section 3.4, but shall not relieve Borrowers from the obligation to make prepayments pursuant to Section 3.3(2).

(2) Prior to the payment in full of all amounts outstanding under the Interim Facility pursuant to the terms of the Interim Facility Credit Agreement, the Borrowers shall comply with the obligations set forth in Section 7.16 hereof. Upon payment in full of all amounts outstanding under the Interim Facility pursuant to the terms of the Interim Facility Credit

Agreement and Section 7.16 below, subject to Section 3.3(3), Section 3.3(4) and Section 3.3(5), to the extent any Net Cash Proceeds remain that were not applied to repay the Interim Facility in accordance with the Interim Facility Credit Agreement and Section 7.16 below, and thereafter to the extent that the Borrowers or their Affiliates from time to time consummate any transactions of the types described below, the Borrowers shall remit to the Administrative Agent as a mandatory prepayment for application against the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan:

(A) Concurrently with the consummation of any such Disposition or Financing, that dollar amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Disposition or Financing of any Westcor Assets; provided that with respect to a Disposition, no such prepayment shall be required if and to the extent that each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) such Disposition occurs as part of a Like-Kind Exchange (or is a Disposition of the Properties described in Section 3.3(2)(C)(ii) or (iii) of the Interim Facility Credit Agreement); (ii) the Exchange Property (or Property acquired as described in Section 3.3(2)(C)(ii) or (iii) of the Interim Facility Credit Agreement) is acquired by the Macerich Entity engaged in such Disposition, a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of such Macerich Entity, a Westcor Principal Entity, or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a Westcor Principal Entity substantially concurrently with such Disposition, or, if not substantially concurrently, then in accordance with all deferred Like Kind Exchange requirements under the Code (but if the Property is acquired as described in and in accordance with Section 3.3(2)(C)(iii) of the Interim Facility Credit Agreement, such Like Kind Exchange requirements shall not apply), including: (A) deposit of the Net Cash Proceeds in a qualifying escrow account; (B) identifying the Exchange Property within the qualifying period provided under the Code; and (C) consummating the Like Kind Exchange within six months after the subject Disposition; (iii) the Exchange Property is treated as a Westcor Asset for purposes of this Section 3.3 such that any subsequent Disposition of such Exchange Property shall be subject to the mandatory prepayment provisions otherwise specified herein; and (iv) to the extent there are any Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the purchase price for the Exchange Property, fifty percent (50%) of such sums are remitted to the Administrative Agent as a mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3(2).

(B) Concurrently with the consummation of any such transaction, that dollar amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of the issuance of debt or equity Securities by any of the Westcor Borrowers, the Westcor Principal Entities, or their Subsidiary Entities (but in all events any such debt or equity issuance shall otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement).

(C) Concurrently with the consummation of any such Disposition or Financing, that dollar amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Disposition or Financing of the Designated Assets; provided, however, that no prepayment shall be required under this Section 3.3(2)(C) for the Disposition of the Bristol Shopping Center Asset in connection with a Like-Kind Exchange, provided that (i) the asset so exchanged for the Bristol Shopping Center Asset shall thereafter constitute a Designated Asset for purposes of this Section 3.3 and shall be subject to the mandatory payment provisions otherwise specified herein; (ii) the Exchange Property is acquired by the Macerich Entity engaged in such Disposition, a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of such Macerich Entity, the Macerich Partnership, or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Macerich Partnership substantially concurrently with such Disposition, or, if not substantially concurrently, then in accordance with all deferred Like Kind Exchange requirements under the Code, including: (A) deposit of the Net Cash Proceeds in a

qualifying escrow account; (B) identifying the Exchange Property within the qualifying period provided under the Code; and (C) consummating the Like Kind Exchange within six months after the subject Disposition; and (iii) to the extent there are any Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the purchase price for the Exchange Property, such sums are remitted to the Administrative Agent as a mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3(2).

(D) With respect to any principal payments received by any Macerich Entity in respect of any Disposition Promissory Note, (i) promptly, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days after the subject payment, one hundred percent (100%) of any such principal payments (or if such Disposition Promissory Note was delivered in connection with the Disposition of a Westcor Asset, fifty percent (50%) of such principal payments); provided, however, that no such payment need be made to Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (i) until the aggregate of all principal sums then paid in respect of such Disposition Promissory Notes, and not previously paid to Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (ii) below, exceed $1,000,000; and (ii) on the first day of each January, April, July, and October, that dollar amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of any principal payments (or if such Disposition Promissory Note was delivered in connection with the Disposition of a Westcor Asset, fifty percent (50%) of such principal payments) made with respect to any Disposition Promissory Note during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, less any sums paid to the Administrative Agent during such preceding fiscal quarter pursuant to clause (i) above.

(3) Notwithstanding Section 3.3(2) above, no such prepayment shall be required if and to the extent that: (i) concurrently with the consummation of the subject Disposition or Financing, the Borrowers shall provide an Officer's Certificate to the Administrative Agent certifying that such Net Cash Proceeds will be utilized to either (x) purchase designated Unaffiliated Partner Interests, or (y) make designated capital improvements to one or more specified Designated Assets or Westcor Assets, each within one hundred and eighty (180) days (or such longer period of time as the Administrative Agent may approve in its reasonable judgment) of the consummation of such Disposition or Financing (the "Proceeds Expenditure Date"); (ii) concurrently with the consummation of the subject Disposition or Financing, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be deposited in an account (the "Proceeds Expenditure Account") pursuant to an account agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided, that (w) the Proceeds Expenditure Account shall be interest bearing and all interest earned on Net Cash Proceeds deposited into the Proceeds Expenditure Account shall be for the account of the Borrowers and, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall be permitted to withdraw such interest, without further approval from the Administrative Agent, (x) so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall be permitted to withdraw such deposited sums, without further approval of Administrative Agent, solely for the purposes set forth in clause (i) above, (y) the Borrowers shall certify in a Compliance Certificate delivered at the end of each fiscal quarter that the proceeds (other than interest accrued on deposited sums) withdrawn from the Proceeds Expenditure Account were used for the purposes set forth in clause (i) above (and such sums may be withdrawn in respect of designated improvement expenses or acquisition costs for designated Unaffiliated Partner Interests incurred prior to the subject Disposition or Financing if such sums were incurred not more than 180 calendar days prior to such Disposition or Financing and Borrowers have provided written notice to Administrative Agent of such anticipated use of Net Sales Proceeds within 90 days after such expenses are incurred) and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have, on behalf of itself and the Lenders (and Borrowers hereby grant Administrative Agent), a perfected security interest in the Proceeds Expenditure

Account and all funds deposited therein; and (iii) on or prior to the Proceeds Expenditure Date, all sums deposited in the Proceeds Expenditure Account shall be expended in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.3(3), and if not so expended shall promptly be delivered to the Administrative Agent for application to the principal amount of the Term Loan. In the event, on the Proceeds Expenditure Date, Borrowers have incurred specific liabilities with respect to designated capital improvements or acquisition costs for designated Unaffiliated Partner Interests and Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable judgment that such improvements or Unaffiliated Partner Interests acquisition will be completed in a timely manner, Borrowers may withdraw funds from the Proceeds Expenditure Account to pay for such incurred liabilities even if Borrowers have not then paid for such liability expenses and the improvements or Unaffiliated Partner Interests acquisition are not then completed. If an Event of Default occurs at any time, all sums deposited in the Proceeds Expenditure Account shall be disbursed to Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with Section 3.5.

(4) So long as no Event of Default has occurred, the amount of all prepayments made pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be applied toward the satisfaction of the amortization requirement set forth in Section 3.4 below. Once the Pre-Extension Amortization Payments are paid in full, the Borrowers shall not be required to make any mandatory prepayments under this Section 3.3; provided, however, if the Borrowers extend the Original Maturity Date pursuant to Section 1.4, then, at the time of such extension, the requirements of this Section 3.3 with respect to mandatory prepayments shall again be effective and shall remain effective until such time as the Post-Extension Amortization Payments are paid in full by the Borrowers.

(5) In the event (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing and (ii) the amount of prepayment required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall exceed the aggregate principal amount of the applicable outstanding Base Rate Loans (the amount of any such excess being called the "Excess Amount"), the Borrowers shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full at such time, to prepay all the outstanding Base Rate Loans and to deposit an amount equal to the Excess Amount with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account maintained by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and otherwise subject to an account agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the Obligations and applied to the prepayment of the applicable LIBO Rate Loans, in the order instructed by any Borrower or if no instructions are timely provided as directed, as determined by the Administrative Agent, at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. On any Business Day on which (x) collected amounts remain on deposit in or to the credit of such cash collateral account after giving effect to the payments made on such day pursuant to Section 3.3 and (y) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written request or a telephonic request (which shall be promptly confirmed in writing) that such remaining collected amounts be invested in Cash Equivalents specified in such request, the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to invest such remaining collected amounts in such Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that (A) the Administrative Agent shall have continuous dominion and full control over any such investments (and over any interest and proceeds that accrue thereon), (B) the Administrative Agent shall have otherwise determined in good faith that a perfected security interest shall be maintained in respect of all funds (including interest on and proceeds of the Cash Equivalents) deposited in such cash collateral account, and (C) no Cash Equivalents shall mature after the end of the Interest Period in respect of which it is to be applied. Under no circumstance shall the Borrowers have any right to withdraw any amount from such cash collateral account or cause the Administrative Agent to apply such sums for

any purpose other than the application of such funds to repay the applicable LIBO Rate Loans and accrued interest thereon. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all sums deposited with the Administrative Agent may be applied to the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.

(6) The Borrowers shall pay in connection with any prepayment hereunder, whether voluntary or mandatory, all interest accrued but unpaid on that portion of the Term Loan to which such prepayment is applied, and in the case of prepayment of any portion of the Term Loan constituting LIBO Rate Loans, all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.9 above, concurrently with payment of any principal amounts.

(7) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the extent possible and then to LIBO Rate Loans.

3.4 Amortization. The Borrowers shall make quarterly principal amortization payments to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in the amount of $15,000,000, beginning on February 15, 2004 and continuing thereafter on the fifteenth day of each May, August, November and February until the Maturity Date. Such mandatory amortization payments shall be reduced (in the order then due) by any voluntary payments made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.3(1) and any mandatory prepayment made under Section 3.3(2) and (3). To the extent not previously paid in full, the remaining balance of the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

3.5 Allocation of Payments Received.

(1) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, and unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, by wire transfer of like funds received on the date of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) or if received later, by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day, without further interest payable by the Administrative Agent.

(2) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations, shall be promptly disbursed by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(A) First, to the payment of expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in the performance of its duties and the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection, reasonable attorneys' fees (including all allocated costs of internal counsel), court costs and other amounts payable as provided in Section 7.6 below;

(B) Then, to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, until interest accrued on the Term Loan has been paid in full;

(C) Then, to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, until principal under the Term Loan has been paid in full;

(D) Then, to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the amount, expressed as a percentage, which the amount of remaining Obligations owed to such Lenders bears to all other Obligations held by all Lenders, until all other Obligations have been paid in full.

(3) The order of priority set forth in Section 3.5(2) and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative

Agent and the other Lenders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (B) through (D) of Section 3.5(2) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrowers or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clause (A) of Section 3.5(2) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE 4. Credit Support.

4.1 Guaranties. As credit support for the Aggregate Obligations, on or before the Closing Date (1) MAC shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors, the REIT Guaranty, and (2) the Affiliate Guarantors shall each execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors, an Affiliate Guaranty. Upon the acquisition of any Project after the Closing Date by any Borrower Party or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary thereof, in the event at the time of acquisition the principal Property comprising such Project is unencumbered by any Lien in respect of borrowed indebtedness (an "Unencumbered Property"), and there is no Financing with respect to such Unencumbered Property within sixty (60) days of its acquisition, if the Interim Facility has not been paid in full, or within ninety (90) days of its acquisition, if the Interim Facility has been repaid in full, such Person (each a "Supplemental Guarantor") shall: (a) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors, a Guaranty in the form of Exhibit A hereto pursuant to which such Supplemental Guarantor will unconditionally guarantee the Aggregate Obligations from time to time owing to the Benefited Creditors, (b) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Collateral Agent such other documents or legal opinions required by the Collateral Agent confirming the authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability (subject to customary exceptions) of the Guaranty by such Supplemental Guarantor, and (c) deliver copies of its Organizational Documents, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of such Supplemental Guarantor (or if such Person is a limited partnership or limited liability company, an authorized representative of its general partner or manager) as of the date delivered as being accurate and complete. Upon the Disposition or Financing of any Unencumbered Property by any Affiliate Guarantor or Supplemental Guarantor and the corresponding payment of all sums due pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof and Section 3.3 of the Interim Facility Credit Agreement in connection with such Disposition, the Collateral Agent shall release the guaranty executed by such Person pursuant to this Section 4.1.

4.2 Pledge Agreements. As credit support for the Aggregate Obligations, on or before the Closing Date, Macerich Partnership, MAC, and the Westcor Borrowers (other than Macerich TWC Corp. and Macerich TWC LLC) shall each execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, a Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which each of them shall pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Benefited Creditors, all of its direct and indirect ownership interest in the Westcor Borrowers and Westcor Realty Limited Partnership.

Each Subordinated Creditor agrees to make no claim for, or receive payment with respect to, such Subordinated Debt until all Obligations and such obligations have been fully discharged in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be entitled to declare and pay dividends or make distributions to equity holders with respect to their Capital Stock, as long as no Event of Default then exists, but subject to Section 8.11.

(2) All amounts and other assets that may from time to time be paid or distributed to or otherwise received by any Subordinated Creditor in respect of Subordinated Debt in violation of this Section 7.15 shall be segregated and held in trust by the Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of the Lenders and promptly paid over to the Administrative Agent.

(3) Each Subordinated Creditor further agrees not to assign all or any part of the Subordinated Debt unless the Administrative Agent is given prior notice and such assignment is expressly made subject to the terms of this Agreement. If the Administrative Agent so requests, (a) all instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt shall be duly endorsed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, (b) all security for the Subordinated Debt shall be duly assigned and delivered to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, (c) the Subordinated Debt shall be enforced, collected and held by the relevant Subordinated Creditor as trustee for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on account of the Obligations, and (d) the Subordinated Creditors shall execute, file and record such documents and instruments and take such other action as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce the Lenders' rights in and to the Subordinated Debt and any security therefor. If any Subordinated Creditor fails to take any such action, the Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for such Subordinated Creditor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of the Subordinated Creditor. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

(4) In any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by Requirements of Law, each Subordinated Creditor shall file all claims relating to the Subordinated Debt that the Subordinated Creditor may have against the obligor thereunder and shall assign to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all rights relating to the Subordinated Debt thereunder. If any Subordinated Creditor does not file any such claim, the Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for the Subordinated Creditor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of the Subordinated Creditor or, in the Administrative Agent's discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent's nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. The Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Subordinated Creditor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all of the Subordinated Creditor's rights to any such payments or distributions; provided, however, the Subordinated Creditor's obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent that the Administrative Agent receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution.

(5) Each of the Subordinated Creditors hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time in their discretion renew or extend the time of payment of the Obligations or exercise, fail to exercise, waive or amend any other of their rights under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any instrument evidencing or securing or delivered in connection therewith, and in reference thereto may make and enter into such agreements as to them may seem proper or desirable, all without notice to or further assent from the Subordinated Creditors (except as otherwise expressly required pursuant to this Agreement), and any such action shall not in any manner impair or affect the subordination set forth in this Section 7.15 or any of the Administrative Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder. The Subordinated Creditors each hereby waive and agree not to assert against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders any rights which a guarantor or surety could exercise with respect to any indebtedness of the Borrowers, MAC or an Affiliate Guarantor, but nothing in this Section 7.15 shall constitute the Subordinated Creditors a guarantor or surety.

7.16 Mandatory Prepayments under Interim Facility. The Borrowers shall comply in all respects with the mandatory principal prepayment provisions under the Interim Facility as required pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Interim Facility Credit Agreement (including any corresponding defined terms used therein), as such provisions and defined terms exist as of the Closing Date.

As to the Lenders: (1) the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders (or, if a provision of this Agreement expressly provides that a lesser number of the Lenders may direct the action of the Administrative Agent, such lesser number of Lenders) or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action (except for liabilities and expenses resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct), (2) the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance

with a request of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders (or, if a provision of this Agreement expressly provides that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting at the request of a lesser number of the Lenders, such lesser number of Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders, (3) the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Benefited Creditors (or, if a provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents expressly provides that the Collateral Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting at the request of the Majority Benefited Creditors or a lesser number of the Benefited Creditors, such Majority Benefited Creditors or lesser number of Benefited Creditors) or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Benefited Creditors against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action (except for liabilities and expenses resulting from the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct), and (4) the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Benefited Creditors (or, if a provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents expressly provides that the Collateral Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting at the request of the Majority Benefited Creditors or a lesser number of the Benefited Creditors, such Majority Benefited Creditors or lesser number of Benefited Creditors), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

10.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to the Loan Documents, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice and a Potential Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Benefited Creditors; provided that, unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Benefited Creditors (except to the extent that this Agreement, the Pledge Agreements or the Guaranties expressly require that such action be taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Benefited Creditors or such other group of Lenders or Benefited Creditors, in which case such action will be taken or not taken as directed by the Required Benefited Creditors or such other group of Lenders or Benefited Creditors).

10.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the other Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender, and based on such

documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers or other Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

10.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Agents in their respective capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Percentage Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the other Agents in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's or any other Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, respectively. The provisions of this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent, the other Agents and their affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any of the Borrower Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries Entities and Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent and the other Agents were not, respectively, the Administrative Agent, a Co-Syndication Agent, a Collateral Agent or an Agent hereunder. With respect to such loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them, the Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, a Co-Syndication Agent or an Agent, respectively, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Administrative Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent and each other Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Lenders (other than the Lender resigning as Administrative Agent) shall (with, so long as there shall not exist and be continuing an Event of Default, the consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor agent or, if the Lenders are unable to agree on the appointment of a successor agent, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or successors thereto. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,

the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.10 Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Lenders. If the Collateral Agent shall resign, then the Required Benefited Creditors (as determined by excluding the Benefited Creditor resigning as Collateral Agent) shall (with, so long as there shall not exist and be continuing an Event of Default, the consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor agent or, if such Required Benefited Creditors are unable to agree on the appointment of a successor agent, the Collateral Agent shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders and the other Benefited Creditors whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term "Collateral Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Collateral Agent's rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or successors thereto. After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.11 Limitations on Agents Liability. None of the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agent or the Co-Lead Arrangers, in such capacities, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

11.1 No Assignment by Borrowers. None of the Borrower Parties may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders. Subject to the foregoing, all provisions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in any document or agreement referred to herein or therein or relating hereto or thereto shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, their respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon each of the Borrower Parties and such Person's successors and assigns.

11.2 Modification. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document may be Modified or waived unless such Modification or waiver is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Guarantors, the Borrowers and, except for the Modifications and waivers referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Modification or waiver shall: (i) without the prior written consent of the Required Benefited Creditors: (1) Modify or waive: any mandatory payment requirement of Section 3.3; Section 3.4; Section 7.16; any covenant in Article 8; or the last paragraph of Article 9; (2) increase the applicable rate of interest payable hereunder, (3) Modify the definition of "Required Benefited Creditors", "Majority Benefited Creditors" or "Benefited Creditors", or (4) Modify this clause (i) of this Section 11.2 or Section 7 of the Pledge Agreements (and any definitions therein related solely to the application of such Section); and (ii) without the prior written consent of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders: (1) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, the Term Loan or fees payable hereunder, (2) except as expressly contemplated by Section 11.8 below, modify the Percentage Share of any Lender, (3) Modify the definition of "Required Lenders", (4) extend or waive any scheduled payment date for any principal, interest or fees, (5) release MAC from its obligations under the REIT Guaranty, release the Macerich Partnership from its obligation to repay the Term Loan, release any of the pledgors under the Pledge Agreements or release any portion of the collateral pledged under the Pledge Agreements (except for such releases as may be specifically authorized by or otherwise approved in accordance with this Credit Agreement), (6) Modify this

Section 11.2 (except that clause (i) above shall govern Modifications to such clause (i) of this Section 11.2), or (7) Modify any provision of the Loan Documents which by its terms requires the consent or approval of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders. It is expressly agreed and understood that the failure by the Majority Benefited Creditors or the Required Lenders, as applicable, to elect to accelerate amounts outstanding hereunder and/or to terminate the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall not constitute a Modification or waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement. No Modification of any provision of the Loan Documents relating to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be effective without the written consent, as applicable, of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

11.3 Cumulative Rights; No Waiver. The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and in addition to all rights, power and remedies provided under any and all agreements among the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating hereto, at law, in equity or otherwise. Any delay or failure by Administrative Agent and the Lenders to exercise any right, power or remedy shall not constitute a waiver thereof by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any right, power or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or any exercise of any other rights, powers or remedies.

11.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the schedules, appendices, documents and agreements referred to herein and therein embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

11.5 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the part of the Borrower Parties shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be effective until the Obligations are paid and performed in full or longer as expressly provided herein.

All notices given by any party to the others under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be in writing unless otherwise provided for herein, and any such notice shall become effective (i) upon personal delivery thereof, including, but not limited to, delivery by overnight mail and courier service, (ii) four (4) days after it shall have been mailed by United States mail, first class, certified or registered, with postage prepaid, or (iii) in the case of notice by a telecommunications device, when properly transmitted, in each case addressed to the party at the address set forth on Schedule 11.6 attached hereto. Any party may change the address to which notices are to be sent by notice of such change to each other party given as provided herein. Such notices shall be effective on the date received or, if mailed, on the third Business Day following the date mailed.

11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its choice of law rules.

11.8 Assignments, Participations, Etc.

(1) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, but only if there has not occurred and is continuing an Event of Default or Potential Default, MAC, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any Lender may at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no written consent of MAC or the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or its Affiliate) (each an "Assignee") all or any part of such Lender's Percentage Share of the Term Loan and the other

Obligations held by such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, which minimum amount may be an aggregated amount in the event of simultaneous assignments to or by two or more funds under common management (or if such Lender's Percentage Share of the Term Loan is less than $1,000,000, one hundred percent (100%) thereof); provided, however, that MAC, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and (iii) the Assignee has paid to the Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3500.

(A) From and after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender and the Borrowers that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the above-referenced processing fee: (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (but shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to the assignment) and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Percentage Shares resulting therefrom.

(2) Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Administrative Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the processing fee (which notice shall also be sent by the Administrative Agent to each Lender), the Borrowers shall, if requested by the Assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, a new Note evidencing such Assignee's Percentage Share of the Term Loan.

(3) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrowers (a "Participant") participating interests in the Term Loan and the other interests of that Lender (the "originating Lender") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 (and subject to the burdens of Sections 2.8 and 11.8 above) as though it were also a Lender thereunder, and if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, and Section 11.10 of this Agreement shall apply to such Participant as if it were a Lender party hereto.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Percentage Share of the Term Loan held by it to any Federal Reserve Lender or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Lender, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Percentage Share of the Term Loan made by the Borrowers to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrowers' obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Percentage Share of the Term Loan to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement.

11.10 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of the Obligations in excess of such Lender's Percentage Share thereof, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably as aforesaid with each of them; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower Parties to exercise any and all rights of setoff, counterclaim or bankers' lien against the full amount of the Obligations, whether or not held by such Lender. Each Lender hereby agrees to exercise any such rights first against the Obligations and only then to any other Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender.

11.11 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by any of the Borrower Parties or by the Administrative Agent on the Borrower Parties' behalf, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such information: (1) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lender or any prospective Lender, or (2) was or becomes available from a source other than the Borrower Parties not known to the Lenders to be in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower Parties in the disclosure of such information. Nothing contained herein shall restrict any Lender from disclosing such information (i) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority; (ii) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (vi) to such Lender's independent auditors and other professional advisors; and (vii) to any Participant or Assignee and to any prospective Participant or Assignee, provided that each Participant and Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee first agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.11.

11.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, EACH

OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW.

11.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF SUCH PARTIES FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

11.14 Indemnity. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Borrower Parties shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Term Loan and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any insolvency proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that the Borrower Parties shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section 11.14 shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

11.15 Telephonic Instruction. Any agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Borrowers to give such notice and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrowers or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic notice. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic notice.

11.16 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any of the Borrower Parties or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any of the Borrower Parties makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders enforce their Liens or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any insolvency proceeding, or otherwise, then (1) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred, and (2) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

11.17 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower Parties, any such notice being waived by the Borrower Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply in favor of the Benefited Creditors any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower Parties against any and all Aggregate Obligations owing to the Benefited Creditors, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Aggregate Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to (i) notify the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (ii) pay such amounts that are set-off to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Benefited Creditors.

11.18 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder or thereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof.

11.19 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

11.20 Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.
