Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, and the other lending institutions which are or may hereafter become parties to the Loan Agreement (as defined below), as the Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), and KEYBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association having an address at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, 00000 as administrative agent on behalf of the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”).

WITNESSETH:

1. BACKGROUND.

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

1.2 Borrower. Borrower is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware of which the sole general partner is CSC.

1.3 Use of Loan Proceeds. Borrower has applied to Lenders for a revolving loan of not to exceed up to TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($250,000,000.00), with an initial Established Loan Amount of One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000.00) (“Loan”), the proceeds of which are to be used (a) to provide funds for the acquisition, development, construction, expansion, and renovation, of real estate properties by the Borrower, CSC, and the Borrower Subsidiaries, (b) to pay certain closing and transactional costs as approved by the Administrative Agent, and (c) for other lawful REIT purposes, including, without limitation, the disbursements on the Funding Date.

1.4 Guaranties. As an inducement to Lenders to make the Loan, CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS, INC., a Maryland corporation (“CSC”), and each Borrowing Base Property Owner (severally and collectively called “Guarantor” or “Guarantors”) have agreed to furnish guaranties to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The establishment of the facility provided for herein and the making of the Loan is in the best interest of each of the Guarantors as the proceeds of the Loan are being, or may be, used to satisfy Debt

-1-

of certain of the Guarantors and to make available funds to the Guarantors for working capital purposes and for acquisitions, development, capital expenditures, and refinancings of real estate properties. The Lenders have advised the Borrower that the Lenders will not establish this facility without the Guaranty from the Guarantors.

1.5 Loan. Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, and of the agreements and instruments referred to herein, each of the Lenders agrees severally to make a loan to the Borrower up to a maximum aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment, and Borrower agrees to accept and repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2. LOAN PROVISIONS.

2.1 General Loan Provisions.

2.1.1 Limit.

(i) Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders hereby agree to lend to Borrower, and Borrower may borrow, reborrow and repay from time to time sums (the “Loan Advances”) between the date hereof and the Maturity Date; provided, that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, shall at no time exceed the least of (1) the Established Loan Amount, (2) the Total Commitment, or (3) the Availability (the least of (1), (2) or (3), the “Maximum Loan Amount”).

(ii) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and independent and not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan.

(iii) Provided no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence, the Borrower may, on any one (1) or more occasions prior to the Maturity Date, request an increase the Established Loan Amount; provided, however, that (i) the amount of each such increase shall not be less than Ten Million ($10,000,000.00) Dollars, (ii) the aggregate amount of all such increases shall not cause the Established Loan Amount to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Million ($250,000,000.00) Dollars, and (iii) after any such increase the Established Loan Amount shall not exceed the Total Commitments (as such may be increased after the date hereof) as determined by the Administrative Agent. Such request may be made by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent, which election shall designate the desired increased Established Loan Amount. The Borrower shall execute, deliver and satisfy, and shall cause each Loan Party to execute, deliver, and satisfy, any and all documentation and other conditions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and any Lender increasing its Commitment in order to evidence and effectuate the increase in the Established Loan Amount, including, without limitation, any new or replacement Note as may be required by any Lender increasing its Commitment or any new Lender issuing a new Commitment. Any such increase of the Established Loan Amount shall not be effective until written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders of such increased amount and the confirmation that such amount does not exceed the Total Commitments. The Administrative

-2-

Agent shall give the existing Lenders written notice of the Borrower’s request to so increase the Established Loan Amount hereunder, and the existing Lenders shall have a right of first refusal with respect to electing to increase their respective Commitments, which right must be exercised by providing the Administrative Agent with written notice of such election within ten (10) Business Days of the notice provided by the Administrative Agent. In the event the existing Lenders shall agree to increase their Commitments by an amount that is in excess of the requested increase, such increased Commitments shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis. In connection with any increase in the Established Loan Amount, no Lender shall be required to increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.

2.1.2 Procedures and Limits. Until the Maturity Date, the Lenders shall, subject to the compliance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and there then continuing no Default or Event of Default, make disbursements to Borrower of Loan Advances in installments in accordance with the following:

(i) Written Requests. Loan Advances shall be made, at Borrower’s written request to Administrative Agent, not more frequently than four (4) times a month, on the basis of written requests, made in accordance with the method and procedures described in Section 2.1.3 below; and Administrative Agent shall act upon such requests within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of a written request from Borrower for a Loan Advance, which action may include, without limitation, funding the requested Loan Advance, or specifying the basis for not funding and, when applicable, requesting additional information and supporting documentation. The date on which any Loan Advance is funded is herein called a “Drawdown Date.”

(ii) Requisitions, Certifications. Each request for a Loan Advance shall be in writing and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, and shall include an updated Availability Certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto. Each such request shall specify (i) the amount of the Loan Advance requested, (ii) the purpose of the Loan Advance requested, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (iv) the then aggregate remaining amount which may be funded under the Note, and (v) calculations evidencing the Borrower’s continued compliance with the Financial Covenants, as satisfied by the Closing Compliance Certificate, or once delivered, the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower, except to the extent the contemplated Loan Advance will result in noncompliance with the Financial Covenants, and (vi) if the purpose of the Loan Advance is to fund project costs with respect to a Borrowing Base Property, such supporting invoices and other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require evidencing the project costs incurred or to be paid supporting such Loan Advance. Each request for a Loan Advance hereunder shall be for (a) a minimum amount of $500,000.00, and (b) an amount not to exceed (x) the Maximum Loan Amount less (y) the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

2.1.3 Funding Procedures. The following terms and provisions shall apply to any Loan Advance:

(i) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.1, to the extent applicable, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders will either (x) deposit into a Depository Account of the Borrower or (y) disburse to, or for the benefit of, the Borrower

-3-

or any Borrower Subsidiary (as directed by the Borrower) the amount of the Loan Advance requested by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.1. Provided the Administrative Agent has received from the Lenders immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date (to the extent immediately available funds are received later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will make the deposit into the Depository Account on the following Business Day), provided that if Borrower’s request for a Loan Advance so specifies, instead of making such deposit, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall fund all or a portion of such Loan Advance received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders directly by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a third party (in accordance with wiring instruction specified in such request), in which event such funds shall be wired by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date.

(ii) Each request for a Loan Advance hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof, as the case may be, have been satisfied on the date of such request and will be satisfied on the proposed Drawdown Date, unless otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent prior to or at the time of such request, including the Borrower’s continued compliance with the Financial Covenants, as satisfied by the Closing Compliance Certificate, or once delivered, the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower, except to the extent the contemplated Loan Advance will result in noncompliance with the Financial Covenants. Notwithstanding any such disclosure, the disclosure by Borrower to the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof are not satisfied as of the date of Borrower’s request for a Loan Advance or will not be satisfied as of the proposed Drawdown Date shall entitle Administrative Agent and Lenders to refuse to make the Loan Advance requested by Borrower.

(iii) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may or shall (at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to Borrower, terminate the obligation of the Lenders to fund Loan Advances in respect of the then unfunded portion of the Note, and, upon such notice being given, such obligation of the Lenders to make any further Loan Advances in respect of the then unfunded portion of the Note shall terminate immediately and the Lenders shall be relieved of all further obligations to make any Loan Advances to Borrower.

2.2 Term of Loan.

2.2.1 The Loan shall be for a term (the “Initial Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on June 13, 2011(the “Initial Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as the Loan is accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon an Event of Default. The Initial Term may be extended for one year (“Extended Term”) until June 13, 2012 (“Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2.3 (hereinafter, the Initial Maturity Date and the Extended Maturity Date may be referred to herein sometimes as the “Maturity Date” as may be applicable).

-4-

2.2.1 Termination/Reduction.

(i) The Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Loan prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent (with the Administrative Agent giving prompt notice thereof to the Lenders) with ten (10) days’ written notice of the Borrower’s intention to terminate the Loan (the date of such termination being the “Borrower Termination Date”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Loan Advances hereunder, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Termination Date to pay in full all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment.

(ii) The Borrower shall have the right to reduce the Established Loan Amount to an amount not less than $100,000,000.00 prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent (with the Administrative Agent giving prompt notice thereof to the Lenders) with ten (10) days’ written notice of the Borrower’s intention to reduce the Established Loan Amount (the date of such reduction being the “Borrower Reduction Date”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Loan Advances such that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, would exceed such reduced Established Loan Amount, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Reduction Date to pay in full the excess of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan over the reduced Established Loan Amount, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment. In order to effect such reduced Established Loan Amount, the Administrative Agent shall reduce the Lenders’ Commitments on a pro rata basis.

2.2.3 Upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions, Borrower may extend the Initial Maturity Date of the Loan until the Extended Maturity Date:

(i) No Default. No Default shall exist on the date of the Borrower’s written notice for an extension as provided for below and on the Initial Maturity Date.

(ii) Notice From Borrower. Borrower shall have given Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders) written notice of Borrower’s request to exercise its extension right at least forty five (45) days, but no more than ninety (90) days, before the Initial Maturity Date.

(iii) Covenant Compliance. No breach of any covenants imposed upon Borrower or Guarantor shall exist including, without limitation, the Financial Covenants.

(iv) Conditions Satisfied. All of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, to the extent applicable, shall continue to be satisfied.

(v) Extension Fee. The Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent an extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) for the pro rata benefit of the

-5-

Lenders of two-tenths of one percent (0.20%) of the outstanding Commitments of the Lenders, such Extension Fee to be payable at least five (5) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date.

(vi) Appraisals. If reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have obtained an updated Appraisal on each Borrowing Base Property.

(vii) Additional Documents. Borrower and Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent such agreements and documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably require incident to the extension.

Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of Borrower’s written notice under clause 2.2.3(ii) above requesting the extension accompanied by those of the items described above which are then available, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing if all of the conditions precedent to the extension, other than payment of the Extension Fee, have been satisfied, or if further information, certificates or work are required. If Administrative Agent determines that the conditions to extension have been satisfied, other than payment of the Extension Fee, Administrative Agent shall so notify Borrower and the Lenders and upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Extension Fee not later than five (5) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, so long as no Default exists, the term of the Loan shall be extended until the Extended Maturity Date.

2.3 Interest Rate and Payment Terms. The Loan shall be payable as to interest and principal in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Note. This Agreement also provides for interest at a Default Rate, Late Charges and prepayment rights and fees. All payments for the account of Lenders shall be applied to the respective accounts of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan. Any and all interest rate selection and conversion provisions in this Agreement are to be administered by the Administrative Agent and to be allocated on a pro rata basis to the portion of the balance due under the Note held by each Lender based upon such Lender’s Commitment Percentage.

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

2.3.2 Selection To Be Made. Borrower shall select, and thereafter may change the selection of, the applicable interest rate, from the alternatives otherwise provided for in this Agreement, by giving Administrative Agent a Notice of Rate Selection (in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3.3, below): (i) three (3) Business Days prior to each Loan Advance, (ii) two (2) Business Days prior to the end of each Interest Period applicable to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance which shall be continued as an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or (iii) two (2) Business Days prior to any Business Day on which Borrower desires to convert an outstanding Variable Rate Advance to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance.

2.3.3 Notice. A “Notice of Rate Selection” shall be a written notice, given by cable, tested telex, telecopier, or by telephone if immediately confirmed by such a written notice, from an Authorized Representative of Borrower which: (i) is received by Administrative Agent

-6-

not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time): (a) if an Effective LIBO Rate is selected, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period to which such selection is to apply, (b) if a Variable Rate is selected, on the first day of the Interest Period to which such selection is to apply; and (ii) as to each selected interest rate option, sets forth the aggregate principal amount(s) to which such interest rate option(s) shall apply and the Interest Period(s) applicable to each Effective LIBO Rate Advance.

2.3.4 If No Notice. If Borrower fails to select an interest rate option in accordance with the foregoing prior to a Loan Advance, or at least two (2) Business Days prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an outstanding Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or if an Effective LIBO Rate Advance is not available, any new Loan Advance made shall be deemed to be a Variable Rate Advance, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period all outstanding principal amounts of the applicable Effective LIBO Rate Advance shall be deemed converted to a Variable Rate Advance.

2.3.5 Telephonic Notice. Without any way limiting Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each case Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic Notice of Rate Selection in the absence of manifest error.

2.3.6 Limits On Options. Each Effective LIBO Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00. At no time shall there be outstanding a total of more than five (5) Effective LIBO Rate Advances combined at any time.

2.3.7 Payment and Calculation of Interest. All interest shall be: (a) payable in arrears commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the Funding Date and on the same day of each month thereafter until the principal together with all interest and other charges payable with respect to the Loan shall be fully paid; and (b) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Each change in the Prime Rate shall simultaneously change the Variable Rate payable under this Agreement. Interest at the Effective LIBO Rate shall be computed from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to, but excluding, the last day thereof.

2.3.8 Mandatory Principal Payments.

(i) If, on any day, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Maximum Loan Amount, then the Borrower shall make a principal payment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in the amount of such excess, including, without limitation, any payment required to comply with the terms of Section 3.4, below, in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of demand from the Administrative Agent; provided, however, if during such ten (10) Business Day period the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent satisfactory Funding Evidence, such ten (10) Business Day period shall be extended for such additional time as is determined by the Administrative Agent to be required for Borrower, acting in due diligence, to obtain such funds, not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days.

-7-

(ii) In connection with the release of the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on any Borrowing Base Property in accordance with Section 3.3, the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Price, if any, of the said Borrowing Base Property simultaneously with, or prior to, the release of the said Lien (any payment due under subsections (i) or (ii), a “Mandatory Principal Payment”).

(iii) The entire principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

2.3.9 Prepayment. The Loan or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full or in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent without premium or penalty with respect to Variable Rate Advances and, with respect to Effective LIBO Rate Advances subject to the Breakage Fee. Any Mandatory Principal Prepayment and any other partial prepayment of principal shall first be applied to the principal due in the reverse order of maturity, and no such partial prepayment shall relieve Borrower of the obligation to pay each installment of principal when due. Any amounts prepaid may be reborrowed subject to the terms hereof.

2.3.10 Maturity. At Maturity all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan shall be due and payable in full and the principal balance and such other charges, but not unpaid interest, shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, continue to bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate until so paid.

2.3.11 Method of Payment; Date of Credit. All payments of interest, principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments: (a) by direct charge to an account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent, or (b) by wire transfer to Administrative Agent or (c) to such other bank or address as the holder of the Loan may designate in a written notice to Borrower. Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time); payments received after 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be credited to the Loan on the next Business Day. Payments which are by check, which Administrative Agent may at its option accept or reject, or which are not in the form of immediately available funds shall not be credited to the Loan until such funds become immediately available to Administrative Agent, and, with respect to payments by check, such credit shall be provisional until the item is finally paid by the payor bank.

2.3.12 Xxxxxxxx. Administrative Agent may submit monthly xxxxxxxx reflecting payments due; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month. Neither the failure of Administrative Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all Borrower’s payment obligations when due.

2.3.13 Default Rate. Administrative Agent shall have the option of imposing, and shall impose upon the direction of the Required Lenders, and Borrower shall pay upon billing therefor, an interest rate which is four percent (4.0%) per annum above the Effective LIBO Rate or Variable Rate then in effect with respect to Loan Advances (as the case may be)

-8-

(“Default Rate”): (a) following any Event of Default, unless and until the Event of Default is waived by Required Lenders; and (b) after Maturity. Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease upon the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Event of Default is waived by Administrative Agent.

2.3.14 Late Charges. Borrower shall pay a late charge (herein, the “Late Charge”) equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any interest or scheduled payment of principal (other than the final principal payment due upon the Maturity Date), which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof. Late charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate Administrative Agent and the Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments, (c) are not interest, and (d) shall not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.

2.3.15 Breakage Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of Administrative Agent (in the absence of manifest error), compensate Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the loss, cost or expense which it may reasonably incur as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of an Effective LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any Effective LIBO Rate Advance to a Variable Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of a Loan which was to have borne interest at the Effective LIBO Rate pursuant to the request of Borrower to be made under the Loan Agreement (except as a result of any act or omission of Lender), or (iv) the failure of Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request submitted by it for an Effective LIBO Rate Advance. Such amounts payable by Borrower shall be equal to any administrative costs actually incurred plus any amounts required to compensate for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Administrative Agent or any Lender to fund or maintain an Effective LIBO Rate Advance (herein, collectively, the “Breakage Fee”). A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth the calculation and amount of its Breakage Fee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.4 Loan Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fees.

2.4.1 Loan Fees. Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent for its own account the various fees in accordance with the fee letter between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent dated as of the date hereof.

2.4.2 Line Fee. Borrower agrees to pay an unused line fee (the “Line Fee”) to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. The amount of the Line Fee on any given day shall equal the Line Percentage multiplied by the amount on such day by which the Total Commitments exceed the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The Line Fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, with a final payment

-9-

on the Maturity Date and the first and last payments to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which they apply.

2.5 Acceleration. The Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, accelerate the Loan, upon the occurrence an Event of Default which remains continuing. Upon such an acceleration, all principal, accrued interest, Breakage Fee, any other fees, and costs and expenses shall be due and payable together with interest on such principal at the Default Rate from the date of the Event of Default until paid.

2.6 Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate Selection.

2.6.1 Increased Costs. If, due to any one or more of: (i) the introduction of any applicable law or regulation or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements already referred to in the definition of Effective LIBO Rate) in the interpretation or application by any authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof of any law or regulation; or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any governmental central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) (an event described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) an “Increased Cost Event”), there shall be an increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Effective LIBO Rate Advances, including without limitation changes which affect or would affect the amount of capital or reserves required or expected to be maintained by any such Lender, with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, or any corporation controlling any Lender, on account thereof, then Borrower from time to time shall, within twenty (20) days after written demand by Administrative Agent, pay to such Lender the incremental increase in Lender’s cost due to the Increased Cost Event. A certificate as to the amount of the increased cost and the reason therefor submitted to Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of an affected Lender, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

2.6.2 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty, statute, regulation or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or government authority shall assert by directive, guideline or otherwise, that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain Effective LIBO Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Effective LIBO Rate Advances, and such Lender, without cost or expense, cannot hold or administer its Commitment from an office where maintaining and funding Effective LIBO Rate Advances can be accomplished, then, on written notice thereof and demand by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to Borrower, (a) the obligation of Administrative Agent to make Effective LIBO Rate Advances and to convert or continue any Loan as Effective LIBO Rate Advances shall terminate and (b) at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or on such earlier date as may be necessary to comply with such change), Borrower shall convert all principal outstanding under this Agreement into Variable Rate Advances.

2.6.3 Additional LIBO Rate Conditions. The selection by Borrower of an Effective LIBO Rate and the maintenance of the Effective LIBO Rate Advance at such rate shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

-10-

A. Availability. If, before or after Borrower has selected to take or maintain an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, but before the Interest Period with respect thereto commences, the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that:

(a) Dollar deposits in the amount and for the maturity requested are not available to lenders in the London interbank market at the rate specified in the definition of LIBO Rate set forth above, or

(b) reasonable means do not exist for Administrative Agent to determine the Effective LIBO Rate for the amounts and maturity requested,

then the principal which would have been an Effective LIBO Rate Advance shall be a Variable Rate Advance.

B. Payments Net of Taxes. All payments and prepayments of principal and interest under this Agreement shall be made net of any taxes (excluding Excluded Taxes) and costs (which are compensated under Section 2.6.1 above) resulting from having principal outstanding at or computed with reference to an Effective LIBO Rate. Without limiting the generality of the preceding obligation, illustrations of such taxes and costs as to which payments are to be made net of are taxes, or the withholding of amounts for taxes, of any nature whatsoever including income, excise, interest equalization taxes (other than United States or state income taxes) as well as all levies, imposts, duties or fees whether now in existence or as the result of a change in or promulgation of any treaty, statute, regulation, or interpretation thereof or any directive guideline or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law) or a change in the basis of, or the time of payment of, such taxes and other amounts resulting therefrom. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States (a “Foreign Lender”) shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to complete exemption from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender hereunder (“Certificates of Exemption”). Each Foreign Lender shall provide such Certificates of Exemption on or before the Closing Date, and shall provide Certificates of Exemption on or before the first business day of each taxable year of such Foreign Lender thereafter. Each Foreign Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 after the Closing Date shall provide Certificates of Exemption on or before the date such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender and on or before the first business day of each taxable year of such Foreign Lender thereafter. If a Foreign Lender does not provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and the Administrative Agent within the time periods set forth in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory rates and Borrower shall be permitted to deduct the amount withheld from the amount it otherwise would have been required to pay, provided that all such withholding shall cease upon delivery by such Foreign Lender of a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender and is not exempt from backup withholding under the Code with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 to the Borrower promptly after becoming a Lender under this Agreement. If a Lender fails to comply with its obligations under the

-11-

preceding sentence and Borrower pays backup withholding as a result of such failure, Borrower shall be permitted to deduct the amount withheld from the amount it otherwise would have been required to pay to the Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.

2.6.4 Variable Rate Advances. Each Variable Rate Advance shall continue as a Variable Rate Advance until Maturity of the Loan, unless sooner converted, in whole or in part, to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

3.3 Removal of Individual Property as a Borrowing Base Property — Borrower. From time to time during the term of this Agreement following (i) Borrower’s written request (“Collateral Release Request”) indicating that (x) the Borrower intends to sell or refinance the subject Borrowing Base Property or (y) the removal of one or more Borrowing Base Properties is necessary to cure or remedy a Default hereunder, and (ii) satisfaction of the Release Conditions, the Administrative Agent shall release such Borrowing Base Property from the Lien held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, release the subject Borrowing Base Property Owner from the Guaranty, terminate the assignments made by such Borrowing Base Property Owner pursuant to Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, release the Environmental Indemnity (subject to the terms thereof) delivered pursuant to Section 3.1.5, and release its Lien upon the ownership interest in such Borrowing Base Property Owner and its manager or general partner which was pledged by the Borrower as Collateral pursuant to Section 3.1.6, and thereafter such Borrowing Base Property Owner shall no longer be a Loan Party for the purposes of this Agreement (provided, however, any such release by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to terminate or release such Borrowing Base Property Owner from any obligation or

-14-

liability under any Loan Document which specifically by its terms survives the said release or the payment in full of the Obligations). The “Release Conditions” are the following:

3.3.1 The Borrower shall make a Mandatory Principal Payment equal to the Release Price, if any, relative to the subject Borrowing Base Property or substitute a new Borrowing Base Property subject to the requirements of Section 3.5 below.

3.3.2 Upon release of the Lien on the subject Borrowing Base Property, the Financial Covenants shall remain satisfied (or be satisfied if the release cures a Default which resulted from the Financial Covenants not being satisfied).

3.3.3 No Default shall exist under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents at the time of any such release, except for any Default which is cured or remedied by the removal of such Individual Property from being a Borrowing Base Property.

3.3.4 No Event of Default shall exist under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents at the time of the Collateral Release Request or at the time of any such release, except for any Event of Default which is cured or remedied by the removal of such Individual Property from being a Borrowing Base Property.

3.3.5 All representations and warranties contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the time of any such release (other than representations and warranties which speak as of a specific date or which Administrative Agent was notified of were not true and correct prior to a request for a Loan Advance which was nonetheless made or which apply to the Individual Property being released).

3.3.6 The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all appraisal fees, title insurance and recording costs, reasonable legal fees and expenses and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the release.

Any failure of any removal and release requested by the Borrower to meet in all material respects all of the Release Conditions shall be deemed a rejection of the proposed Collateral Release Request and, subject to the other terms and conditions hereof as to whether any Individual Property is a Borrowing Base Property, such Borrowing Base Property shall remain a Borrowing Base Property hereunder and shall be included within the Collateral. At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in the assignment of the Security Documents to a new lender with respect to any Borrowing Base Property being released, subject to the execution of customary documents with respect to any such assignment.

3.4 Removal of Individual Property as a Borrowing Base Property — Administrative Agent.

3.4.1 An Individual Property shall no longer be deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property upon the determination by the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of any of the following:

-15-

(i) A Major Event of Loss occurs as to a Borrowing Base Property, or a Borrowing Base Property as to which an Event of Loss occurs is not, or ceases to be, a Restoration Property, or upon completion of the Repair Work, will not meet all of the Borrowing Base Property Requirements, unless such Major Event of Loss or Event of Loss will not materially interfere with the contemplated development and completion of the Borrowing Base Property; or

(ii) Subsections (f) or (g) in the definition of Eligibility Criteria are no longer satisfied with respect to such Borrowing Base Property; or

(iii) The Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent to remove a Borrowing Base Property if a tenant or tenants which have Leases or prospective tenant or tenants which have letters of intent with respect to such Borrowing Base Property are subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and have filed a motion to reject such Lease or letter of intent, or have not assumed such Lease or letter of intent within sixty (60) days (or such longer period granted by the applicable bankruptcy court, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) after such tenant’s or prospective tenant’s bankruptcy filing, and to the extent the space occupied or to be occupied by such tenants is deemed vacant, either subsection (f) or (g) of the Eligibility Criteria for such Borrowing Base Property would not be satisfied.

3.4.2 Upon any such Individual Property no longer being deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property, the Borrower shall make a Mandatory Principal Payment when required equal to the Release Price (if any) for such Borrowing Base Property.

3.4.3 With respect to any Individual Property determined by the Administrative Agent to no longer be deemed a Borrowing Base Property in accordance with this Section 3.4, if the Release Conditions are satisfied with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall release such Individual Property from the Lien held by the Administrative Agent, release the subject Borrowing Base Property Owner from the Guaranty, terminate the assignments made by such Borrowing Base Property Owner pursuant to Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, release the Environmental Indemnity delivered pursuant to Section 3.1.5, and release its Lien upon the ownership interest in such Borrowing Base Property Owner and its manager or general partner which was pledged by the Borrower as Collateral pursuant to Section 3.1.6, and thereafter such Borrowing Base Property Owner shall no longer be a Loan Party for the purposes of this Agreement (provided, however, any such release by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to terminate or release such Borrowing Base Property Owner from any obligation or liability under any Loan Document which specifically by its terms survives the said release or the payment in full of the Obligations). However, if the said Release Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Individual Property, although such Individual Property shall no longer be a Borrowing Base Property, the Individual Property shall not be released from the Lien held by the Administrative Agent (shall continue to be a Collateral Property) and there shall be no release of the Collateral relating to such Individual Property or the subject Borrowing Base Property Owner, until such time as the Release Conditions are satisfied with respect thereto.

3.5 Additional Borrowing Base Property. From time to time during the term of this Agreement following Borrower’s written request (“Additional Collateral Request”), compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.5, and compliance with the requirements for inclusion as a

-16-

Borrowing Base Property, as set forth in the definition thereof, the Required Lenders shall authorize the Administrative Agent to accept one or more Individual Properties as Borrowing Base Properties (as identified by the Borrower in its written request) to be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral. The Required Lenders shall agree to the acceptance of the Individual Property as an additional Borrowing Base Property only upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders:

3.5.1 If sought by the Borrower, the Borrower shall have obtained Preliminary Approval for the addition of such Individual Property.

3.5.2 The Borrower (or applicable Loan Party) shall have satisfied all of the Borrowing Base Property Requirements as to such Individual Property.

3.5.3 No Event of Default shall exist under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents at the time of the Additional Collateral Request or at the time of any such Individual Property becoming a Borrowing Base Property, except for any Default which is cured or remedied by such Individual Property becoming a Borrowing Base Property.

3.5.4 All representations and warranties contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the time of any such Individual Property becoming a Borrowing Base Property (or shall become true by virtue of such Individual Property becoming a Borrower Base Property) (other than representations and warranties which speak as of a specific date or which Administrative Agent was notified of were not true and correct prior to a request for a Loan Advance which was nonetheless made), including the Borrower’s continued compliance with the Financial Covenants, as satisfied by the Closing Compliance Certificate, or once delivered, the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower.

3.5.5 The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all appraisal fees, title insurance and recording costs, reasonable legal fees and expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the additional Borrowing Base Property.

3.5.6 The Borrower, the subject Borrowing Base Property Owner, and the subject Individual Property shall have satisfied all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 5 prior to the inclusion of the Individual Property as a Borrowing Base Property.

Any failure of the proposed Borrowing Base Property to meet in all material respects all of the foregoing conditions shall be deemed a rejection of the proposed Borrowing Base Property for that Additional Collateral Request and such proposed Borrowing Base Property shall not be included in the Borrowing Base for any purpose unless and until all of the foregoing conditions are satisfied or waived by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of the decision of the Required Lenders with respect to the admission or rejection of any Individual Property as a Borrowing Base Property.

-17-

Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice to Administrative Agent accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of the authority of the person giving such notice and such notice shall be effective not sooner than five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof by Administrative Agent.

5.1.5 Litigation. On the Closing Date, there shall not be any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any governmental instrumentality or other agency or regulatory authority by any entity (private or governmental) pending or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened (a) with respect to the Loan, the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents, or (b) with respect to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any other Borrower Subsidiary, which , in the case of this clause (b), are not fully covered (subject to deductibles) by an insurance policy issued by a reputable and financially viable insurance company, or, to the extent not so covered, which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine in good faith could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, other than the Obligations evidenced by the Note due to such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other indebtedness and to the Obligations evidenced by the Note due to such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Note due to such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note due to such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to Obligations under the Note due to all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Note its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

12.3 Right to Freeze. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall also have the right, at its option, upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders to set off or debit as set forth in Section 12.2, to freeze, block or segregate any such deposits, balances and other sums so that Borrower may not access, control or draw upon the same.

12.4 Additional Rights.

The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of the taking or failing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with any written request of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and each such request of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and any action taken or failure to act by the Administrative Agent pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required in any event to act, or to refrain from acting, in any manner which is contrary to the Loan Documents or to applicable law.

13.1.6 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the same or has received notice from a Lender or

-52-

the Borrower referring to this Loan Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default (a “Notice of Default”). In the event that the Administrative Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

13.1.7 Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of the Borrower and has made its own decision to enter into this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not conditions precedent to Closing any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

13.1.9 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the

-53-

Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

13.1.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower. The Required Lenders, for good cause, may remove Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, if such appointment is prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, be subject to the approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ giving notice of removal, as the case may be, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If in such instance the retiring Administrative Agent appoints as the successor Administrative Agent a Lender, such Lender shall accept such appointment. Each such successor Administrative Agent shall be a Lender or a financial institution which meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 13 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder.

13.1.11 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent may, and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents respecting the foreclosure, the sale, or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent

-54-

that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Required Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Collateral securing the Obligations, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Note, other than through the Administrative Agent.

13.2 Respecting Loans and Payments.

13.2.1 Procedures for Loans. Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each Lender of each request for a Loan Advance, or conversion of an existing Loan Advance from a Variable Rate Advance to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, by facsimile transmission, hand delivery or overnight courier, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the making of any Loan Advance, (ii) two (2) Business Days prior to any conversion of an existing Loan Advance to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or (iii) on the first day of any conversion to a Variable Rate Advance. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a written summary of the request for a Loan Advance and shall specify (a) the date of the requested Loan Advance, (b) the aggregate amount of the requested Loan Advance, (c) each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Loan Advance, and (d) the applicable interest rate selected by Borrower with respect to such Loan Advance, or any portion thereof, together with the applicable Interest Period, if any, selected, or deemed selected, by Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date set forth in any such request for a Loan Advance, make available to Administrative Agent, at an account to be designated by Administrative Agent at KeyBank, National Association, Boston, Massachusetts, in same day funds, each Lender’s ratable portion of the requested Loan Advance provided that no Lender shall be required to fund any Loan Advance to the extent that such Lender’s aggregate outstanding Loan Advances would exceed its Commitment. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon Administrative Agent’s determination that the applicable conditions to making the requested Loan Advance have been fulfilled, Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower as provided for in this Loan Agreement. Within a reasonable period of time following the making of each Loan Advance, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following such Loan Advance, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of Borrower’s request for Loan Advance. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of written request from any Lender, Administrative Agent shall deliver to the requesting Lender the accompanying certifications and such other instruments, documents, certifications and approvals delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to Administrative Agent in support of the requested Loan Advance.

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

-55-

13.2.3 Payments to Administrative Agent. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loan or the Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any other obligor or guarantor for the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in the Note and this Loan Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender, on the same Business Day upon which each such payment is made, such Lender’s proportionate share of each such payment in immediately available funds excluding Liquidation Proceeds which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 13.2.4 below. The Administrative Agent will disburse such payments to the Lenders on the date of receipt thereof if received prior to 1:00 p.m. on such date and, if not, on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall upon each distribution promptly notify Borrower of such distribution and each Lender of the amounts distributed to it applicable to principal of, and interest on, the proportionate share held by the applicable Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent under the first sentence of this Section shall constitute a payment by the Borrower to each Lender in the amount of such Lender’s proportionate share of such payment, and any such payment to the Administrative Agent shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose after the date of such payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent without regard to whether or when the Administrative Agent makes distribution thereof as provided above. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower is insufficient to pay both all accrued interest and all principal then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall first apply such payment to all outstanding interest until paid in full and shall then apply the remainder of such payment to all principal then due and owing, and shall distribute the payment to each Lender accordingly.

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


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

		Second:		To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages (or pro rata if the Lenders have not ratably funded such amounts) until all Lenders have been reimbursed for all fees and expenses which such Lenders have previously paid to the Administrative Agent and not theretofore paid to such Lenders.

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

		Fourth:		To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages (or pro rata if the Lenders

-56-


				have not ratably funded such amounts) until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Loan including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.

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

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

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

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

13.2.8 Delinquent Lender. If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Loan Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loans, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within five (5) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Loan Agreement or the

-57-

other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, with such Delinquent Lender’s Commitment not being included when calculating any Required Lender or Unanimous Lender decision hereunder, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.

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

13.2.9 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender designated in the Register as the proportionate owner of such interest in the Note for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any designated interest in the Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such interest in the Note or of any Note or Note issued in exchange therefor.

13.3 Assignment by Lenders.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

-58-

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

(B) in any case not described in Section 13.3.1(i)(A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

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

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 13.3.1(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (the “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,000.00; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and

-59-

recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.3.2, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.3.11, 2.6, 7.15 and 7.17 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Promptly following delivery of notice of such assignment and written request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall, in exchange for each surrendered Note, execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be substantially in the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be cancelled and returned to the Borrower. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.3.3.

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

13.3.3 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment

-60-

and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 13.4.1(i) through (viii) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.3.4 below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.3.11 and 2.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3.1 above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.

13.3.4 Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.3.11 or 2.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, provided in no instance shall the Borrower’s Obligations be increased as a result thereof. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.3.11 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.3.11 as though it were a Lender.

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

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

13.4 Administrative Matters.

13.4.1 Amendment, Waiver, Consent, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein or as to any term or provision hereof which specifically provides for the consent or approval of

-61-

the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and/or the Lenders, as applicable, no term or provision of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, nor may any consent required or permitted by this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document be given, unless such change, waiver, discharge, termination or consent receives the written approval of the Required Lenders.

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

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

(ii) releases or discharges any material portion of the Collateral other than in accordance with the express provisions of the Loan Documents,

(iii) amends, modifies or waives any provisions of this Section 13.4,

(iv) amends any of the Financial Covenants,

(v) amends the definition of Eligibility Criteria,

(vi) amends any payment distribution provisions hereunder;

(vii) modifies the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders,

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

(ix) releases or waives any guaranty of the Obligations or indemnifications provided in the Loan Documents;

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

13.4.2 Deemed Consent or Approval. With respect to any requested amendment, waiver, consent or other action which requires the approval of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement, or if the Administrative Agent is required hereunder to seek, or desires to seek, the approval of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, prior to undertaking a particular action or course of conduct, the Administrative Agent in each such case shall provide each Lender with written notice of any such request for amendment, waiver or consent or any other requested or proposed action or course of conduct, accompanied by such detailed background information and explanations as may be reasonably necessary to determine whether to approve

-62-

or disapprove such amendment, waiver, consent or other action or course of conduct. The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) include in any such notice, printed in capital letters or boldface type, a legend substantially to the following effect:

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

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

13.5 Arranger. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, the Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall have no powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger has coordinated, or will coordinate, the initial syndication of the Loan and the assignment of interests in the Loan.

14. CASUALTY AND TAKING.

14.1 Casualty or Taking; Obligation To Repair. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Loss as to any Collateral Property, Borrower shall give immediate written notice thereof to Administrative Agent and proceed with reasonable diligence, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and the other requirements of the Loan Documents, to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the affected Collateral Property to the condition immediately prior to such Event of Loss (each, the “Repair Work”).

14.2 Adjustment of Claims. All insurance claims or condemnation or similar awards shall be adjusted or settled by Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, but subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written approval for any Borrowing Base Property, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to participate in any adjustment or settlement for any Borrowing Base Property with respect to which the Net Proceeds in the aggregate are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and (ii) if any Event of Default exists under any of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the right to adjust, settle, and compromise such claims without the approval of Borrower.

14.3 Payment and Application of Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards.

14.3.1 Except as otherwise provided for herein, all Net Proceeds shall be paid to Administrative Agent and, at Administrative Agent’s option, be applied to Borrower’s Obligations or released, in whole or in part, to pay for the actual cost of repair, restoration,

-63-

rebuilding or replacement to the condition immediately prior to such Event of Loss (collectively, “Cost To Repair”). If any Net Proceeds are received directly by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall hold such Net Proceeds in trust for the Administrative Agent and shall promptly deliver such Net Proceeds in kind to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, provided no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, all Net Proceeds related to any Collateral Property which is not a Borrowing Base Property shall be released to the Borrower to such repair and reconstruction, without the Borrower having to satisfy the conditions of section 14.3 and 14.4 hereof.

14.3.2 Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, with respect to any Borrowing Base Property, if the Net Proceeds do not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and the Insurance/Taking Release Conditions have been satisfied in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall release the Net Proceeds to pay for the actual Cost to Repair and the applicable Loan Party shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion, the Repair Work relative to the subject Collateral Property, with any excess being retained by the applicable Loan Party.

14.3.3 Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, with respect to any Borrowing Base Property, if either (i) the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or (ii) the Net Proceeds do not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), but the Insurance/Taking Release Conditions have not been satisfied with respect to such Event of Loss, the Administrative Agent shall release so much of the Net Proceeds as may be required to pay for the actual Cost To Repair in accordance the limitations and procedures set forth in Section 14.4, if the following conditions are satisfied in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents;

(ii) in Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment such Net Proceeds together with any additional funds as may be deposited with and pledged to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, are sufficient to pay for the Cost To Repair.

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

15.6.1 Substantial Relationship.

This Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 15.6.4, and each of the other Loan Documents shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law, except insofar as the formation of Borrower under Delaware law requires Delaware law to apply with respect to matters of authorization to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

15.6.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing choice of law:

(i) The procedures governing the enforcement by Administrative Agent of its foreclosure and other remedies under the Security Documents and under the other

-69-

Loan Documents with respect to each Collateral Property shall be governed by the laws of the State in which such Collateral Property is located;

(ii) Administrative Agent shall comply with applicable law of such State to the extent required by the law of such jurisdiction in connection with the foreclosure of the security interests and liens created under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents with respect to each Collateral Property or other assets situated in such State; and

(iii) provisions of Federal law and the law of such State shall apply in defining the terms Hazardous Materials, Environmental Legal Requirements and Legal Requirements applicable to each Collateral Property as such terms are used in this Loan Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents.

Nothing contained herein or any other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed to provide that the substantive laws of any other State shall apply to any parties, rights and obligations under any of the Loan Documents, which, except as expressly provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 15.6.4, are and shall continue to be governed by the substantive law of the State of New York, except as set forth in clauses (i) , (ii) and (iii) of this Section 15.6.4. In addition, the fact that portions of the Loan Documents may include provisions drafted to conform to the law of any other State is not intended, nor shall it be deemed, in any way, to derogate the parties’ choice of law as set forth or referred to in this Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The parties further agree that the Administrative Agent may enforce its rights under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, its rights to xxx the Borrower or to collect any outstanding indebtedness in accordance with applicable law.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY

-70-

OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.

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

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

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

15.10 Regarding Consents. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, any and all consents to be made hereunder by the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders, or Lenders shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Party to whom consent rights are given hereunder.

15.12 Table of Contents, Title and Headings. Any Table of Contents, the titles and the headings of sections are not parts of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of its or their provisions.

In no event shall any oral agreements, promises, actions, inactions, knowledge, course of conduct, course of dealings or the like be effective to amend, terminate, extend or otherwise modify this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

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

In connection with all aspects of each transaction completed hereby, the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Keybanc Capital Markets LLC (the “Arranger”) and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); and (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and/or the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

Each and every party liable hereon, or for the indebtedness evidenced hereby, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise hereby: (a) waives presentment, demand, protest, suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof; (b) waives any defenses based upon, and specifically assents to, any and all extensions and postponements of the time for payment, changes in terms and conditions and all other indulgences and forbearances which may be granted by the Agent or the holder to any party now or hereafter liable hereunder or for the indebtedness evidenced hereby; (c) agrees to any substitution, exchange, release, surrender or other delivery of any security or collateral now or hereafter held hereunder or in connection with the Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable; (d) agrees that if any security or collateral given to secure this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby or to secure any of the obligations set forth or referred to in the Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, shall be found to be unenforceable in full or to any extent, or if Agent or any other party shall fail to duly perfect or protect such collateral, the same shall not relieve or release any party liable hereon or thereon nor vitiate any other security or collateral given for any obligations evidenced hereby or thereby; (e) agrees to pay all costs and expenses actually incurred by Agent and Lenders or any other holder of this Note in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby pursuant to the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, for the implementation of the Loan, the collection of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and the enforcement of rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, whether or not suit is instituted; and (f) consents to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and Rents, and all other instruments now or hereafter executed evidencing or governing all or any portion of the security or collateral for this Note and for such Loan Agreement, or any one or more of the other Loan Documents.

EC-2

7. Compliance With Usury Laws.

All agreements among Borrower, Guarantor, Agent and Lenders are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or Lenders for the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used herein, the term “applicable law”, shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Note shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of Borrower, Agent and Lenders in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Note to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents or the Security Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if under or from any circumstances whatsoever Agent or Lenders should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements among Borrower, the Guarantor, Agent and Lenders.

8. Use of Proceeds.

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

9. Security.

This Note is secured by the Collateral as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Collateral for this Note may be held by the Agent, on behalf of the Lender and the other Lenders.

10. Notices.

Any notices given with respect to this Note shall be given in the manner provided for in the Loan Agreement.

11. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.

11.3 Governing Law. This Note and each of the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.4, shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law, except insofar as formation of the Borrower under Delaware law requires Delaware law to apply with respect to matters of authorization to enter into the transaction contemplated by this Note.

In addition, the fact that portions of the Loan Documents may include provisions drafted to conform to the law of any other State is not intended, nor shall it be deemed, in any way, to derogate the parties’ choice of law as set forth or referred to in this Note, the Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The parties further agree that the Agent may enforce its rights under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, its rights to xxx the Borrower or to collect any outstanding indebtedness in accordance with applicable law

11.5 Consent to Jurisdiction. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT LOCATED IN THE FIRST DEPARTMENT OF THE NEW YORK STATE UNIFIED COURT SYSTEM OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE

EC-4

VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

12. Waiver of Jury Trial.

BORROWER, AGENT AND LENDERS MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND MAKE THE LOAN.

13. No Oral Change.

This Note and the other Loan Documents may only be amended, terminated, extended or otherwise modified by a writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. In no event shall any oral agreements, promises, actions, inactions, knowledge, course of conduct, course of dealing, or the like be effective to amend, terminate, extend or otherwise modify this Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

14. Rights of the Agent and Holder.

This Note, and the rights and remedies provided for herein, may be enforced by Agent, the holder, or any subsequent holder hereof. Wherever the context permits, each reference to the term “holder” herein shall mean and refer to Agent, the holder, or the then subsequent holder of this Note.
