Appraisals of the Initial Collateral Properties shall be ordered by the Administrative Agent not later than the fifteenth (15^th) day after the Amendment Effective Date and shall be distributed to the Lenders upon receipt, but shall be subject to approval by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders only. Borrower shall have the option to order updates to the Appraisals of the Initial Collateral Properties to be delivered to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders not later than September 30, 2009. Borrower shall pay for all Appraisals of the Initial Collateral Properties and the Qualifying Collateral Properties required hereunder.

(a)

Initial Collateral Properties. At any time prior to Xxxxx 00, 0000, xxxx of the Initial Collateral Properties nor any portion thereof (nor all nor a portion of any equity interest in a Subsidiary owning any such Initial Collateral Property) shall be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed, nor shall any Indebtedness securing any such Initial Collateral Property or any such equity interest be incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may replace an Initial Collateral Property, provided that a replacement Initial Collateral Property (“Substitute Collateral”), which must be wholly owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor in fee simple, is identified and approved by the Majority Lenders, and if such replacement occurs after September 30, 2009, such replacement is covered by an Appraisal that indicates that the Collateral Pool Leverage Ratio, after giving effect to such replacement, will not exceed the limit set forth in Section 6.21(iv) of this Agreement. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of its intent to replace an Initial Collateral Property, and provide the Administrative Agent with copies of a rent roll, ARGUS runs, leasing activity reports, tenant sales reports (if applicable), Leases, operating statements, most recent title insurance policies and/or searches, most recent survey and most recent engineering and environmental assessments (“Approval Diligence”) with respect to the Substitute Collateral for distribution to the Lenders. Each of the Lenders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after it receives notice and delivery of the Approval Diligence to notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether it approves or objects to the Substitute Collateral becoming an Initial Collateral Property. If any such Lender does not so approve or object in writing to the Substitute Collateral within such period, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the Substitute Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing within twenty (20) Business Days of receiving notice of Borrower’s intent to replace an Initial Collateral Property and the Approval Diligence related thereto if the Majority Lenders have approved the Substitute Collateral. If the Administrative Agent timely notifies Borrower that the Substitute Collateral shall become a Initial Collateral Property, then, within ninety (90) days after the date of Borrower’s receipt of notice of the Majority Lenders’ acceptance of the Substitute Collateral, Borrower shall (i) cause the applicable Subsidiary owning such Project to execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement with respect to the Subsidiary Guaranty, if such Subsidiary has not already executed a Subsidiary Guaranty, (ii) execute and deliver, and shall cause the applicable Subsidiary (and all intervening Subsidiaries owning, directly or indirectly, Equity Interests in such applicable Subsidiary) to execute and deliver, as

-23-

applicable, to the Administrative Agent all instruments, documents, or agreements, including a Collateral Assignment in substantially the same form as the Collateral Assignment attached as Exhibit G-1 or Exhibit G-2, as identified by the Administrative Agent, attached hereto, UCC-1 financing statements, acknowledgments and membership, partnership and stock certificates and blank transfer powers, as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain and perfect a first priority security interest in, or Lien on, the Equity Interests in the applicable Subsidiary, and the other Collateral with respect thereto as described in the Collateral (such other Collateral to consist of similar Collateral as was included in the Collateral Assignment of delivered concurrently herewith), if such documents have not previously been executed and delivered, (iii) cause the Required Diligence, Appraisal and Mortgage with respect to such Substitute Collateral to be delivered, executed and recorded, all as provided in the first grammatical paragraph of this Section 2.3 with respect to the Initial Collateral Properties and (iv) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a written confirmation that, as of the date such Substitute Collateral is included in Collateral, all of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.23 hereof are true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Substitute Collateral as if it were an Initial Collateral Property (collectively, the “Collateral Inclusion Conditions”). Upon satisfaction of all of the Collateral Inclusion Conditions, the Initial Collateral Property being replaced by the Substitute Collateral will be released from the applicable Collateral Assignment or Mortgage, as the case may be. Except in accordance with this Section 2.3(a) and Section 6.27, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may not release any Collateral with respect to the Initial Collateral Properties without the consent of all of the Lenders.

(b)

Qualifying Collateral Pool Properties. Not less than thirty (30) Business Days prior to March 31, 2010 Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the Projects that, if acceptable to the Majority Lenders, shall become the initial Qualifying Collateral Pool Properties and provide the Administrative Agent with the Approval Diligence with respect to such proposed Qualifying Collateral Pool Properties for distribution to the Lenders. Each of the Lenders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after it receives notice and delivery of the Approval Diligence to notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether it approves or objects to any of the proposed Qualifying Collateral Pool Properties. If any such Lender does not so approve or object in writing to any proposed Qualifying Collateral Pool Property within such period, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Qualifying Collateral Pool Property. The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing within twenty (20) Business Days after it receives notice thereof and delivery of the Approval Diligence related thereto if the Majority Lenders have approved such Projects becoming Qualifying Collateral Pool Properties. If the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders notifies Borrower that such Projects have been so approved to become Qualifying Collateral Pool Properties, then, as a condition precedent to each such Project actually becoming a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property and being included in the Collateral, the Borrower shall satisfy, and shall cause each applicable Subsidiary owning one of such Projects to satisfy, with respect to such Project, clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of the Collateral Inclusion Conditions on or before March 31, 2010 and clause (iii) of the Collateral Inclusion Conditions on or before May 31, 2010.

(c)

Addition of Qualifying Collateral Pool Properties. Not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date on which (a) Borrower expects to acquire a Project that will become a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property, whether directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary, or (b) a Project owned by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is to be designated

-24-

to become a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing and thereafter provide the Administrative Agent with the Approval Diligence with respect to such Project for distribution to the Lenders. Each of the Lenders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after it receives notice and delivery thereof to notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether it approves or objects to the proposed Qualifying Collateral Pool Property. If any such Lender does not so approve or object to the proposed Qualifying Collateral Pool Property, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Qualifying Collateral Pool Property. The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing within twenty (20) Business Days after it receives notice thereof and delivery of the Approval Diligence related thereto if the Majority Lenders have approved the proposed Qualifying Collateral Pool Property. If the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders notifies Borrower that such Project has been so approved to become a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property, then, as a condition precedent to such Project actually becoming a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property and being included in the Collateral, the Borrower shall satisfy, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor owning such Project to satisfy, the Collateral Inclusion Conditions with respect to such Project not later than the ninetieth (90^th) day after the date of Borrower’s receipt of such notice of approval.

(d)

Sale or Financing of a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property. Provided no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3(d)), including the covenants set forth in Section 6.21 (v)-(vii), the Borrower or another applicable Subsidiary may sell a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property or create a Lien securing Indebtedness on a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property (for purposes of this Section, such a sale or the creation of such a Lien shall be referred to as a “Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing”) upon the following terms and conditions:

Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice of the desire to consummate such Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing is to be effected;

ii)

On or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing is to be effected, Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent a certificate, which shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s review and reasonable approval, on behalf of the Lenders, setting forth the Collateral Pool Leverage Ratio and Collateral Pool Debt Service Coverage on a pro forma basis as of the date of the Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing giving effect to: (A) the Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing and (B) any other Projects that became or are becoming a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property prior to the date of the Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing (the “Pro Forma Calculations”);

iii)

If the Pro Forma Calculations show that Borrower will be out of compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 6.21(v)- (vii), Borrower shall, before the closing of the Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale, either identify an additional Qualifying Collateral Pool Property that causes Borrower to be in compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 6.21(v)- (vii), or pay down the Outstanding Facility Amount sufficiently to permit the Borrower to be in compliance with those covenants;

-25-

iv)

To the extent that any such sale or financing of all or a portion of a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property (or of any equity interest in a Subsidiary owning any such Qualifying Collateral Pool Property) occurs as permitted by this Section, the Borrower shall make a principal payment on the Notes as required by Section 2.8(b) of this Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of the Qualifying Collateral Pool Sale or Financing, the underlying Project shall no longer be a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property, and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall execute such documents or instruments and take all other actions necessary or advisable on behalf of the Lenders to release the related security interests (including without limitation releases of any pledged Equity Interests) evidenced by any Security Documents.

2.4.

Final Principal Payment

. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.

2.5.

Unused Fee

. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an unused facility fee (the “Unused Fee”) equal to an aggregate amount computed on a daily basis by multiplying (i) the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such day, expressed as a per diem rate, times (ii) the excess of the Aggregate Commitment over the Outstanding Facility Amount on such day. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (for the prior calendar quarter) and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety.

2.6.

Other Fees

. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Borrower’s letter agreement with the Administrative Agent dated as of March 10, 2009 (the “Fee Letter”).

2.7.

Minimum Amount of Each Advance

. Each Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000; provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment.

2.8.

Principal Payments

(a) Optional. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all or any part of outstanding Floating Rate Advances without prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A LIBOR Rate Advance may be paid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if and only if the Borrower pays any amounts due to the Lenders under Sections 3.4 and 3.5 as a result of such prepayment, on a day prior to such last day.

(b) Mandatory. The Borrower shall at all applicable times make principal payments equal to:

(i) if upon the delivery of any Appraisal of an Initial Collateral Property or a Qualifying Collateral Pool Property, the Collateral Pool Value as adjusted to reflect the Appraised Value established thereby for such Property is not sufficient for Borrower to remain in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.21(iv) through (vii), an amount sufficient to achieve such compliance, such principal payment to be due on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Borrower’s receipt of such updated Appraisal,

(ii) all Free Cash Flow, on a quarterly basis, not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower,

-26-

(iii) all net proceeds due to Borrower, or distributions due to Borrower from its Subsidiaries on account of net proceeds, as a result of the sale, financing or refinancing of any assets of the Borrower, or of any Subsidiary of the Borrower (excluding that portion of any such net proceeds or distributions used at or about such time to repay Indebtedness of the Consolidated Group, provided such Indebtedness is scheduled to mature within two years of the date of such sale, financing or refinancing), and

(iv) the net proceeds received on account of any equity contributions (other than Dividend Reinvestment Proceeds) or sales of any Capital Stock, including treasury stock, received by the Borrower.

2.9.

Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances

. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit E and made a part hereof (i) not later than 1:00 p.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Rate Advance and (iii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the same day as the Borrowing Date for each Swingline Advance, which shall specify:

(i)

the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(ii)

the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iii)

the Type of Advance selected,

(iv)

if such Advance is a Swingline Advance, and Borrower desires to have the One Day LIBOR Rate apply for the duration of such Swingline Advance, a request to that effect; and

(v)

in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to the Lenders by facsimile of each Borrowing Notice and each Conversion/Continuation Notice not later than the close of business on the Business Day it is received. Each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in Cleveland, Ohio to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), in the case of Floating Rate Advances (other than Swingline Advances), or (ii) noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) in the case of all other Advances. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

No LIBOR Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than seven (7) different LIBOR Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time.

2.10.

Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances

. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Rate Advances. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefore, at which time such LIBOR Rate

-27-

Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a “Conversion/Continuation Notice” requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Rate Advance either continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), at least three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i)

the requested date which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

(ii)

the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(iii)

the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.11.

Changes in Interest Rate, Etc

. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Rate Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance.

2.12.

Rates Applicable After Default

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Advance plus 2% per annum; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2, unless waived by the Required Lenders.

2.13.

Method of Payment

-28-

(i)

All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available United States funds to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (Cleveland time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders.

(ii)

As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders’ interests in the Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.14.

Notes; Telephonic Notices

. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide notice of the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment, the Type of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if for a LIBOR Rate Advance. Upon a Lender’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.

2.15.

Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis

. Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety under Section 2.1 hereof. Interest, Unused Fees, Facility Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Cleveland time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal

-29-

payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.16.

Swingline Advances

. In addition to the other options available to the Borrower hereunder, the Swingline Commitment shall be available for Swingline Advances subject to the following terms and conditions. Swingline Advances shall be made available for same day borrowings provided that notice is given in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof. All Swingline Advances shall bear interest at either the Floating Rate or, if Borrower has given written notice to the Administrative Agent as described in Section 2.9 when requesting such Swingline Advance, at the One Day LIBOR Rate, as it may be adjusted over the duration of such Swingline Advance. In no event shall the Swingline Lender be required to fund a Swingline Advance if it would increase the total aggregate outstanding Loans by Swingline Lender hereunder plus its Percentage of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of the Swingline Lender’s Commitment. No Swingline Advance may be made to repay a Swingline Advance, but Borrower may repay Swingline Advances from subsequent pro rata Advances hereunder. On the fifth (5^th) Business Day after such a Swingline Advance was made, if such Swingline Advance has not been repaid by the Borrower, each Lender irrevocably agrees to purchase its Percentage of any Swingline Advance made by the Swingline Lender regardless of whether the conditions for disbursement are satisfied at the time of such purchase, including the existence of an Unmatured Default or Default hereunder provided that Swingline Lender did not have actual knowledge of such Unmatured Default or Default at the time the Swingline Advance was made and provided further that no Lender shall be required to have total outstanding Loans plus its Percentage of Facility Letters of Credit exceed its Commitment. Such purchase shall take place on the date of the request by Swingline Lender so long as such request is made by noon (Cleveland time), and otherwise on the Business Day following such request. All requests for purchase shall be in writing. From and after the date it is so purchased, each such Swingline Advance shall, to the extent purchased, (i) be treated as a Loan made by the purchasing Lenders and not by the selling Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and the payment of the purchase price by a Lender shall be deemed to be the making of a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note, and (ii) shall no longer be considered a Swingline Advance except that all interest accruing on or attributable to such Swingline Advance for the period prior to the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender and all such amounts accruing on or attributable to such Loans for the period from and after the date of such purchase shall be paid when due by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the purchasing Lenders. If prior to purchasing its Percentage of a Swingline Advance one of the events described in Section 7.7 shall have occurred and such event prevents the consummation of the purchase contemplated by preceding provisions, each Lender will purchase an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swingline Advance in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Swingline Advance. From and after the date of each Lender’s purchase of its participating interest in a Swingline Advance, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment was received by the Swingline Lender and is required to be returned to the Borrower, each Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it. If any Lender fails to so purchase its Percentage of any Swingline Advance, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

2.17.

Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments

. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation

-30-

Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.18.

Lending Installations

. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.19.

Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent

. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower.

2.20.

Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances

. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (b) cannot maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to Borrower) no Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5

-31-

and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.21.

Usury

. This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

the Borrower shall have delivered to the Issuing Bank at such times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe such documents and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms of the proposed Facility Letter of Credit (it being understood that if any inconsistency exists between such documents and the Loan Documents, the terms of the Loan Documents shall control) and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form and content;

(ii)

as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the requested Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of the requested Facility Letter or Credit in particular; and

(iii)

there shall not exist any Default or Unmatured Default.

2A.4

Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.

(a)

Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement (a “Letter of Credit Request”), such notice shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Section 2A.4(b)(i) below, and shall specify:

(1)

the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested (which stated amount shall not be less than $50,000);

(2)

the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Date”);

(3)

the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire (which day shall be a Business Day which is not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Facility Termination Date);

(4)

the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued;

(5)

the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; and

(6)

any special language required to be included in the Facility Letter of Credit.

At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the Facility Letter of Credit that the Borrower is requesting be issued and shall execute and deliver the Issuing Bank’s customary letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement with respect thereto. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than noon (Cleveland time) on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section 2A.4(a). Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon request by a Lender, provide a copy of such Letter of Credit Request to such Lender.

-33-

(b)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IIA and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV hereof have been satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit Request and the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Bank has actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit given not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Issuance Date, or (ii) written or telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate Section 2A.2.

(c)

The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) and the Borrower written or telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Notice”).

(d)

The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2A.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

2A.5

Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.

(a)

The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit. Any such draw shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder but shall constitute an Advance of the Facility in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at the Floating Rate Advance; provided that if a Default or an Unmatured Default exists at the time of any such drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(b)

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 2A.4, relieve any Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

2A.6

Participation.

(a)

Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IIA, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and all related rights hereunder. Each Lender’s obligation to make further Loans to Borrower (other than any payments such Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or to purchase an interest from the Issuing Bank in any subsequent Facility

-34-

Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank on behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such Lender’s Percentage of the undrawn portion of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.

(b)

In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2A.7 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank. Lender’s payments of its Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. Any Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 2A.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(c)

Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage thereof.

(d)

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or Lender.

(e)

The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, and such payments shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

2A.7

Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

(a)

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any of the following circumstances:

-35-

(i)

any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(ii)

the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);

(iii)

any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect of any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv)

the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or

(v)

the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.

(b)

In the event any payment by the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, contribute such Lender’s Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent.

2A.8

Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.

(a)

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon the Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time hereunder while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date or any other earlier date that the Obligations are due and payable in full. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.13 hereof.

-36-

(b)

The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee equal to the greater of (A) $1,500 or (B) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum to be calculated on the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, based on the actual number of days and using a 360-day year basis. The issuance fee shall be payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof. The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and the Issuing Bank’s standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder.

2A.9

Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

The Borrower hereby agrees that it will immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, establish a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall hold the deposits the Borrower is required to make after a Default on account of any outstanding Facility Letters of Credit as described in Section 8.1. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that may hereafter be on deposit in such account, including income earned thereon. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Borrower has no obligation to fund the Letter of Credit Collateral Account unless and until so required under Section 8.1 hereof.

ARTICLE III.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1.

Yield Protection

. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i)

subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans, or

(ii)

imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances), or

(iii)

imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any

-37-

applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by an amount deemed material by such Lender as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of a demand by such Lender accompanied by reasonable evidence of the occurrence of the applicable event under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2.

Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations

. If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3.

Availability of Types of Advances

. If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of LIBOR Rate Advances and require any LIBOR Rate Advances to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of LIBOR Rate Advances with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a LIBOR Rate Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making such a LIBOR Rate Advance, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Floating Rate.

3.4.

Funding Indemnification

. If any payment of a LIBOR Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the

-38-

Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.

3.5.

Taxes

(i)

All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(ii)

In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).

(iii)

The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefore pursuant to Section 3.6.

(iv)

Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to

-39-

receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v)

For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.

(vi)

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.

(vii)

If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.

3.6.

Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity

. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be

-40-

final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

All public roads and streets necessary for service of and access to each of the Initial Collateral Properties for the current or contemplated use thereof have been completed, and are open for use by the public, or appropriate insured private easements are in place.

(e)

Borrower is not aware of any material latent or patent structural or other significant deficiency of the Initial Collateral Properties. Each of the Initial Collateral Properties is free of damage and waste that would materially and adversely affect the value of the Initial Collateral Properties, is in good repair and to Borrower’s knowledge there is no deferred maintenance other than ordinary wear and tear. Each of the Initial Collateral Properties is free from damage caused by fire or other casualty.

(f)

To Borrower’s knowledge, all liquid and solid waste disposal, septic and sewer systems located on the Initial Collateral Properties are in a good and safe condition and repair and to Borrower’s knowledge, in material compliance with all Applicable Laws with respect to such systems.

(h)

All Leases are in full force and effect. Borrower is not in default under any Lease and Borrower has disclosed to Lenders in writing any material default, of which

Borrower has knowledge, under any Lease which demises more than five percent (5%) of the total gross leaseable area of the related Project.

(i)

There are no material delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, or other outstanding charges affecting the Initial Collateral Properties except to the extent such items are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided, except that certain income tax returns of Borrower, Parent or any Subsidiary thereof may be on extension.

5.26.

Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors; Consideration

. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective creditors. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Subsidiary Guarantor to guaranty the Obligations, Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable Borrower and its subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

5.28.

Tax Shelter Representation

. Borrower does not intend to treat the Loans, and/or related transactions as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4).

If Borrower so notifies the Administrative Agent, Borrower acknowledges that one or more of the Lenders may treat its Loans as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, will maintain the lists and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

Borrower shall not (1) conduct any business or engage in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person, (ii) deal in, or

-50-

otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to the Executive Order or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law (and Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent any certification or other evidence requested from time to time by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, confirming Borrower’s compliance herewith).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that Borrower retains its status as a publicly held company, the representations made in this Section 5.29 are limited to the Borrower’s knowledge with respect to Affiliates who are Affiliates due to ownership due to 10% or more of any class of voting securities.

5.30.

Survival

. All statements contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Amendment or the Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such statement made in or in connection with any amendment thereto or any statement contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower prior to the Amendment Effective Date and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with closing the transactions contemplated hereby) shall constitute representations and warranties made by the Borrower under this Agreement. All such representations and warranties under this Amendment, the Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall survive the effectiveness of this Amendment, the execution and delivery of any additional Loan Documents and the making of further Loans and the issuance of further Facility Letters of Credit.

. If any Default described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, so long as a Default exists Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may permanently terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon (i) if the Required Lenders have elected to accelerate, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, until receipt of a subsequent direction from the Required Lenders), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents and to exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable law.

In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of an Unmatured Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Required Lenders the Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto. The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall not be entitled to receive any interest thereon. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit and associated issuance costs and fees. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the Borrower.

If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree

-63-

for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2.

Amendments

. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement or waiver shall, without the consent of all Lenders:

(i)

Extend the Facility Termination Date (except as provided in Section 2.1), forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon or of the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or of the Unused Fee, reduce the Applicable Margins (or modify any definition herein which would have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margins) or the underlying interest rate options or extend the time of payment of any such principal, interest or Unused Fees and Facility Letter of Credit Fees.

(ii)

KeyBank National Association, is hereby appointed Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of the Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) shall perform its duties with respect to the administration of the Facility in the same manner as it does when it is the sole lender under this type of facility but does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives, provided that the Administrative Agent shall, in any case, not be released from liability to the Lenders for damages or losses incurred by them as a result of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10.2.

Powers

10.4.

No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (v) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection, or priority of any interest in any collateral security; or (vi) the financial condition of the Borrower.

10.5.

Action on Instructions of Lenders

. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the required percentage of the Lenders needed to take such action or refrain from taking such action, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.6.

Employment of Agents and Counsel

. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

The obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Agreement.

10.9.

Rights as a Lender

. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, 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, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiaries are not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.

10.10.

Lender Credit Decision

10.11.

Successor Administrative Agent

. Except as otherwise provided below, KeyBank National Association shall at all times serve as the Administrative Agent during the term of this Facility. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days

-69-

after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders (but excluding, for purposes of calculating the percentage needed to constitute Required Lenders in such instance, the Commitment of the Administrative Agent from the Aggregate Commitment and the Advances held by the Administrative Agent from the total outstanding Advances), such removal to be effective on the date specified by such Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment.

Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

10.12.

Notice of Defaults

. If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred or upon it otherwise having actual knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.

10.13.

Requests for Approval

. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request.

10.14.

Defaulting Lenders

. At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be changed without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently

-70-

funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans” for the purposes of this section). All amounts paid by the Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future payments by the Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 10.14. This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

10.15.

Additional Agents

. Neither the Documentation Agent nor the Syndication Agent as designated on the cover of the Agreement have any rights or obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of such designation or of any actions undertaken in such capacity, such parties having only those rights or obligations arising hereunder in their capacities as a Lender.

ARTICLE XI.

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1.

Setoff

. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

11.2.

Ratable Payments

. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments of Swingline Loans and payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

The parties to the Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

12.2.

Participations

(i)

Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under the Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

(ii)

Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any other Loan Document.

-72-

(iii)

Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agree that each Participant which has previously advised the Borrower in writing of its purchase of a participation in a Lender’s interest in its Loans shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from the Borrower twice. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

Assignments

(i)

Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any of such Lender’s affiliates or to one or more banks, financial institutions or pension funds or with the prior approval of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any other entity (“Purchasers”) all or any portion (greater than or equal to $5,000,000 for each assignee, so long as the hold position of the assigning Lender is not less than $5,000,000) of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has occurred and is then continuing. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to the Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser.

12.5.

Tax Treatment

.

EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the “Effective Date”) shall be the later of the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1 or two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Agent) after a Notice of Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit “I” attached hereto has been delivered to the Agent. Such Notice of Assignment must include the consent of the Agent required by Section 12.3.1 of the Credit Agreement.

We refer to that Credit Agreement dated as of October 15, 2007 as amended by the Comprehensive Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) described in Item 1 of Schedule 1 attached hereto (“Schedule 1”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement.

This Notice of Assignment (this “Notice”) is given and delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 12.3.2 of the Credit Agreement.

The Assignor and the Assignee have entered into an Assignment Agreement, dated as of , (the “Assignment”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Assignor has sold, assigned, delegated and transferred to the Assignee, and the Assignee has purchased, accepted and assumed from the Assignor the percentage interest specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 of all outstandings, rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Effective Date of the Assignment shall be the later of the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1 or two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Agent) after this Notice of Assignment and any fee required by Section 12.3.2 of the Credit Agreement have been delivered to the Agent, provided that the Effective Date shall not occur if any condition precedent agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee has not been satisfied.

The Assignor and the Assignee hereby give to the Agent notice of the assignment and delegation referred to herein. The Assignor will confer with the Agent before the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1 to determine if the Assignment Agreement will become effective on such date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and will confer with the Agent to determine the Effective Date pursuant to Section 3 hereof if it occurs thereafter. The Assignor shall notify the Agent if the Assignment Agreement does not become effective on any proposed Effective Date as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions precedent agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee. At the request of the Agent, the Assignor will give the Agent written confirmation of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent.

If Notes are outstanding on the Effective Date, the Assignor and the Assignee request and direct that the Agent prepare and cause the Borrowers to execute and deliver new Notes or, as appropriate, replacements notes, to the Assignor and the Assignee. The Assignor and, if

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to be prepared in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E1527-94), a summary of which follows:

This ASTM practice is generally considered the industry standard for conducting a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). The purpose of this standard is to “define good commercial and customary practice in the Untied States of America for conducting an ESA of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products.” The ASTM Phase I ESA is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability; that is, the practice that constitutes “all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practices” as defined in 42 USC 9601(35)(B).

The goal of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to identify “recognized environmental conditions.” Recognized environmental conditions means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies.

The ASTM standard indicates that a Phase I ESA should consist of four main components: 1) Records Review; 2) Site Reconnaissance; 3) Interviews; and 4) Report. The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The site reconnaissance involves physical observation of the property’s exterior and interior, as well as an observation of adjoining properties. Interviews with previous and current owners and occupants, and local government officials provides insight into the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The final component of the ESA, the report, contains the findings of the ESA and conclusions regarding the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. It includes documentation to support the analysis, opinions, and conclusions found in the report.

While the use of this practice is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry for purposes of CERCLA’s innocent landowner defense, it is not intended that its use be limited to that purpose. The ASTM standard is intended to be an approach to conducting an inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property, and environmental site assessments.

FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER’S COUNSEL

April __, 2009

KeyBank National Association,

as Administrative Agent for the Lenders

000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx

Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000

Re:

Credit Agreement dated as of October 15, 2007, as amended by a Comprehensive Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of April __, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (the Borrower”), KeyBank National Association, a national banking association, and the several banks, financial institutions and other entities from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Lenders”) and KeyBank National Association, not individually, but as “Administrative Agent”

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to the Borrower in connection with the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.

We have reviewed the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Collateral Assignment, the Account Pledge Agreement and the Notes (collectively, the “Loan Documents”).

For purposes hereof, we have made certain assumptions hereinafter described without independent verification. We have also assumed, without independent verification, that there are no facts inconsistent with the assumptions hereinafter set forth. We know of no facts inconsistent with such assumptions, but we have not conducted an independent investigation or verification.

The opinion set forth herein is qualified as stated herein and is qualified further by the following:

This opinion is based upon existing laws, ordinances and regulations in effect as of the date hereof and as they presently apply.

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have relied as to matters of fact, upon (i) certificates or statements of public officials (including Certificates of Good Standing and Existence in Illinois and Maryland for Borrower dated April ______, 2009 and April __, 2009 respectively, the validity of which we assume remains unchanged as of the date hereof) and of officers of the Borrower and (ii) representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents. Further, we have assumed that (a) each document submitted to us is accurate and complete, (b) there are no events, facts or circumstances currently and actually known to the Borrower or the Lenders which have not been disclosed to us to the extent such events, facts or

D-1

circumstances would render any provision of the Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable in any material respect, and (c) there are and have been no agreements or understandings among the Borrower and the Lenders, written or oral, and there is and has been no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among such parties that in either case would materially define, supplement, amend or qualify the terms of the Loan Documents so as to render inaccurate any opinion expressed herein. For purposes of rendering the first two opinions expressed below, we have relied exclusively upon certificates issued by governmental authorities in the relevant jurisdictions, and such opinions are not intended to provide any conclusion or assurance beyond that conveyed by such certificates.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions imposing penalties or forfeitures, late payment charges or an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of a default.

We express no opinion as to:

(i)

the existence of any Person’s ownership rights in or title to, the existence or priority of, any lien or with respect to any property;

(ii)

any agreement by the Borrower to waive jury trial or appoint an agent for acceptance of service of process;

(iii)

any provision of the Loan Documents purporting to waive any objection to the laying of venue or any claim that an action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; and

(iv)

any provision of the Loan Documents which authorizes or permits any purchaser of a participation interest from any party to set off or apply any deposit or property or any indebtedness with respect to any participation interest.

We have assumed that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are within the Lenders’ corporate powers; (ii) the Lenders and the Borrower have been in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing and affecting the conduct of their respective businesses to the extent that non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents; (iii) the Loan Documents will be enforced in good faith and in circumstances and in a manner that are commercially reasonable; (iv) the Lenders are not subject to any statute, rule or regulation or any impediment that requires them to obtain the authorization, approval or consent of, or to make any declaration or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body, or all of such authorizations, approvals or filings have been obtained or made, in connection with (A) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or (B) the due execution, delivery, recordation, consummation and undertaking of the performance of the Loan Documents or (C) the exercise of any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents; (v) all filings or actions necessary in connection with or for the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents with any governmental authority or regulatory body have been or will be made with the appropriate governmental authority or regulatory body and in accordance the requirements of all applicable laws, codes, ordinances and regulations (including without limitation the payment of all fees in connection therewith); and (vi) all material terms, provisions and conditions relating to

D-2

the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are correctly and completely reflected in the Loan Documents.

The opinion hereafter expressed is qualified to the extent that: (i) the characterization of, and the enforceability of any rights or remedies in, any agreement or instrument may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, equitable subordination, or similar laws and doctrines affecting the rights of creditors generally and general equitable principles; (ii) the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy is subject to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (iii) the provisions of the Loan Documents that (a) may require indemnification or contribution with respect to the negligence or wrongful conduct of the indemnified party or its representatives or agents, (b) purports to confer, waive or consent to the jurisdiction of any court, or (c) waives any right granted by common or statutory law, may be unenforceable as against public policy.

Requirements in the Loan Documents specifying that provisions thereof only may be waived in writing may not be valid, binding or enforceable to the extent that an oral agreement or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created modifying any provision of the Loan Documents.

We express no opinion on provisions in the Loan Documents that provide for the waiver of the statute of limitations, waiver of the right to bring counterclaims, the appointment of any party as attorney-in-fact, the waiver of the right to assert lack of consideration, or the waiver of the requirements of good faith and fair dealing, notice and commercial reasonableness to the extent such requirements cannot be waived by consent. We further advise that the amount of attorneys’ fees are subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding involving the Loan Documents may be brought.

We have not undertaken any independent review of the effect upon the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby of any applicable state or federal environmental, securities or taxation law, code or regulation, and we render no opinion with respect to any of the foregoing.

We have assumed that: (i) each of the Lenders is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under applicable state or federal laws; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the undertaking of the performance by the Lenders of their respective obligations thereunder do not contravene (a) their organizational documents, including the articles of association and any amendments thereto, or Bylaws, including all amendments thereto, or (b) any law or contractual restriction affecting the Lenders or their respective properties; and (iii) there is no pending action or proceeding before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator against or directly involving the Lenders, and there is no threatened action or proceeding affecting the Lenders or any of the assets of the Lenders before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which, in any case, would affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

K. Whenever our opinion, with respect to the existence or absence of facts, is qualified by the phrase “to our knowledge” or a phrase of similar import, it indicates that no information has come to the attention of Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq., the attorney who has provided substantive legal representation to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents, which would give us current

D-3

actual knowledge that is inconsistent with the existence or absence of facts qualified by such phrase. However, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine, or otherwise attempted to verify, the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Borrower or any other matter. Only the actual knowledge of the attorney who has worked on this matter for us as described above shall be imputed or ascribed to us in our capacity as counsel.

We render no opinion with respect to the validity or enforceability under Illinois law of any provision of any of the Loan Documents which provides for the compounding of interest or the payment or accrual of interest on interest. Please note that the Illinois Supreme Court has held in Xxxxxx x. Xxxxx, 151 Ill. 37 (1894) and 137 Ill. 443 (1891) and its progeny that compounding of interest and charging interest on interest are contrary to the public policy of the State of Illinois.

We have assumed that each of the opinions numbered 1 through 2 below and each of the assumptions and qualifications expressed in this opinion which relate to opinions numbered 1 through 3 below apply to the opinion concerning the Advisor which we express below in our opinion numbered 3.

We have investigated such questions of law as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. In addition, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of the signatures of, and the authority of, persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is expressed other than the Borrower, (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons, and (iii) that the Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of all parties thereto other than the Borrower.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the following opinion:

The Borrower is a Maryland corporation, duly organized and validly existing and authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of Maryland and is qualified to transact business in the State of Illinois.

The execution, delivery and undertaking of performance by the Borrower and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are within the corporate powers of the Borrower, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action (including any necessary shareholder or stockholder action, if any) of the Borrower, and do not and will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the provisions of the certificate or articles of incorporation or certificate of existence, as applicable, and bylaws of the Borrower, or (b) to our knowledge, result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under (x) any contractual obligation to which the Borrower is a party or by the Borrower or its properties are bound or (y) any writ, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or (z) any law, regulation, ruling or order binding on the Borrower.

The Borrower has duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents to which it is a named party. The Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. The Subsidiary Guaranty

D-4

attached to the Credit Agreement as Exhibit F is in form appropriate to constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms.

To our knowledge, no authorization, consent or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or other Person is required to be obtained or made by the Borrower for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a named party, except such as have been duly obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

Based solely upon a search of our docket and the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Loan Documents , there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against the Borrower before any court or governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, and the Loan, including the interest rate reserved in the Note and all fees and charges paid or to be paid by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Loan pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents, is not in violation of the usury laws of the State of Illinois.

[ ~~Add additional opinion regarding creation of security interest in collateral~~ ]

While we are not members of the Bar of the State of Maryland, we have reviewed provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “Maryland Corporation Law”). We are members of the Bar of the State of Illinois, and we express no opinion herein as to any laws, codes, ordinances or regulations or the effects thereof upon the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, other than the Maryland Corporation Law (as to the organization and existence of the Borrower under the laws of the State of Maryland), the laws, codes, ordinances and regulations of the State of Illinois and the federal laws of the United States of America. The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to applicable law as existing on the date hereof. In rendering this opinion, we do not undertake to advise you of any change in any applicable law or any fact that may occur after the date hereof.

We call your attention to the fact that, although we represent the Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, our engagement has been limited to specific matters as to which we have been consulted. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein, and we do not express any opinion, either implicitly or otherwise, on any issue not expressly addressed herein. We disavow any obligation to update or supplement this opinion in response to subsequent changes in the law or future events or circumstances or to advise you of any changes in our opinion in the event additional or newly discovered information is brought to our attention. This opinion is provided to you as a legal opinion only and not as a guaranty or warranty of the matters discussed herein or in the documents referred to herein. No opinion may be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly stated herein, and no portion of this opinion may be quoted or in any other way published without the prior written consent of the undersigned. Further, this opinion may be relied upon only by the addressee hereof. Without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be: (a) relied upon by you for any purpose other than that stated and set forth in this opinion; or (b) relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose other than permitted successors, assigns and participants under the Loan Documents.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This Guaranty is made as of April __, 2009 by the parties identified in the signature pages thereto, and any Joinder to Guaranty hereafter delivered (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), to and for the benefit of KeyBank National Association, individually (“KeyBank”) and as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lenders”).

RECITALS

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“Borrower”), and Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Lenders make a revolving credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 (the “Facility”).

The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Credit Agreement dated October 15, 2007 as amended by a Comprehensive Amendment to Credit Agreement of even date herewith among Borrower, KeyBank, individually, and as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender’s Commitment and promissory notes in the principal amount, if any, of each Lender’s Loan as evidence of Borrower’s indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”).

Subsidiary Guarantors are subsidiaries of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement will benefit Subsidiary Guarantors by making funds available to Subsidiary Guarantors through Borrower and by enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Subsidiary Guarantors and Borrower are members. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Subsidiary Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their obligations under the Credit Agreement.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Subsidiary Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agree as follows:

Subsidiary Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranty to each of the Lenders:

(a)

the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times

F-1

thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

(b)

the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and

(c)

the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Facility Indebtedness.” All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.” Subsidiary Guarantors and Lenders agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not exceed the greater of: (i) the aggregate amount of all monies received, directly or indirectly, by Subsidiary Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or other means), or (ii) the maximum amount of the Facility Indebtedness not subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable state law (the “Bankruptcy Code”). To that end, to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code if Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Subsidiary Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to have incurred debts (or intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, as such terms are determined, and at the time such obligations are deemed to have been incurred, under the Bankruptcy Code. In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty each other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Facility Indebtedness shall contribute to such Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata share (based on their respective maximum liabilities hereunder) of such payment or payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that such contribution right shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment in full of all the Facility Indebtedness to Lenders.

In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Subsidiary Guarantors agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note, to pay all the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

Subsidiary Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower or which Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Subsidiary Guarantors with liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to inform Subsidiary Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and

F-2

the Lenders may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty so to inform and that Subsidiary Guarantors are fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other security given to a Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Subsidiary Guarantors, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantors the Lenders’ assessment of the financial condition of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Subsidiary Guarantors. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from proceeding against Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty.

Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Subsidiary Guarantors of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders’ failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Subsidiary Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Subsidiary Guarantors further understand and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents related thereto, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ rights hereunder or any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees not to assert any claim any claim against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of

F-3

liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any facility hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the Loans or any Letter of Credit, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Subsidiary Guarantors agree that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Facility from time to time. Subsidiary Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Subsidiary Guarantors that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Lender to any assignee of all or a portion of such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

If: (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation,

F-4

court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lender or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

Any indebtedness of Borrower to Subsidiary Guarantors now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Subsidiary Guarantors will not seek, accept, or retain for Subsidiary Guarantors’ own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, and any such payments to Subsidiary Guarantors made while any Default or Event of Default then exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Subsidiary Guarantors in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Facility Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.

10.

Subsidiary Guarantors hereby subordinate to the Facility Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders or any right of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lenders for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Subsidiary Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder. It is expressly understood that the agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Lenders for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.

11.

Any amounts received by a Lender from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by such Lender toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as a Lender may from time to time elect.

12.

Subsidiary Guarantors hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Illinois for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waive any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of either the Circuit Court of Xxxx County, Illinois, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, in any action, suit, or proceeding which the

F-5

Administrative Agent or a Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of Illinois and hereby waives any objection which Subsidiary Guarantors may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.

13.

All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted.

Payments under or with respect to the Distributions shall be made as follows:

(i)

Assignor shall have no right to receive payments made under or with respect to the Distributions, or upon any redemption or conversion of the Collateral, other

G-1-2

than by deposit thereof into the Deposit Account, and all such payments shall be delivered directly by the Companies to the Deposit Account.

(ii)

If Assignor shall receive any payments made under or with respect to the Distributions, or upon any redemption or conversion of the Collateral, Assignor shall hold all such payments in trust for Agent, and will immediately deposit all such payments directly to the Deposit Account pursuant to the Account Pledge Agreement for further distribution and application pursuant to the terms thereof.

(c)

Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, either in the name of Agent, or in the name of Assignor, at Assignor’s sole cost and expense, and regardless of whether or not Agent becomes a member in any of the Companies, to take any or all of the following actions at such time as a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing:

(i)

to ask, demand, xxx for, attach, levy, settle, compromise, collect, recover, receive and give receipt for any and all Collateral and to take any and all actions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, making any statements and doing and taking any actions on behalf of Assignor which are otherwise required of Assignor under the terms of any agreement as conditions precedent to the payment of the Distributions, and the right and power to endorse, in the name of Assignor, any checks, notes, drafts and other instruments received in payment of all or any portion of the Collateral; and

(ii)

to institute one or more actions against any of the Companies or any member thereof in connection with the collection of the Distributions, to prosecute to judgment, settle or dismiss any such actions, and to make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable, in Agent’s sole discretion, with respect to such Distributions, to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Organizational Agreements with respect to the Distributions or release any of the Companies or any member thereof, from their respective obligations to pay any Distribution, without incurring responsibility to, or affecting any liability of, Assignor under any of the Organizational Agreements; it being specifically understood and agreed, however, that Agent shall not be obligated in any manner whatsoever to exercise any such power or authority or be in any way responsible for the collection of or realizing upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing and any such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Agent, its successors and assigns until this Assignment terminates as provided in Section 13, below.

G-1-3

Warranties and Covenants. Assignor does hereby warrant and represent to, and covenants and agrees with Agent, as follows:

(a)

This Assignment has been duly executed and delivered by Assignor and constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of Assignor.

(b)

None of the Pledged Equity Interests is evidenced by any certificate, instrument, document or other writing other than the Organizational Agreements.

(c)

True, correct and complete copies of each of the Organizational Agreements, together with all amendments thereto, have been delivered to Agent by Assignor, each of the Organizational Agreements is in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, and, so long as this Assignment remains in effect, Assignor shall not materially modify, amend, cancel, release, surrender or terminate, or permit the modification, amendment, cancellation, release, surrender or termination of, any of the Organizational Agreements, or dissolve, liquidate or permit the expiration of any of the Organizational Agreements or the termination or cancellation thereof, without in each instance the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)

Assignor is and shall remain the sole lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Pledged Equity Interests, and the right to receive the Distributions, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges, claims of third parties and rights of set-off or recoupment whatsoever (other than those in favor of Agent hereunder), and Assignor has the full and complete right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Assignment. Assignor is not and will not become a party to or otherwise be bound by or subject to any agreement, other than the Loan Documents, that restricts in any manner the rights of any present or future holder of the Collateral with respect thereto. No Person has any option, right of first refusal, right of first offer or other right to acquire all or any portion of the Collateral.

(e)

This Assignment creates a valid and binding first priority security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Neither Assignor nor any other Person has performed, nor will Assignor perform or permit any such other Person to perform, any acts which might prevent Agent from enforcing the terms and conditions of this Assignment or which would limit Agent in any such enforcement.

(f)

Assignor consents (to the extent applicable Law does not prohibit Assignor from pre-consenting) to the admission of Agent or any other purchaser of the Pledged Equity Interests upon a foreclosure sale as a substitute member of the applicable Company with all of the rights and privileges of a member under the applicable Organizational Agreements in the event that Agent exercises its rights under this Assignment and Agent or such other purchaser succeeds to ownership of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests.

(g)

G-1-4

and security interests granted herein against Assignor, an appropriate UCC Financing Statement must be filed with the Secretary of State of Maryland and with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall not change any of the matters addressed by the first two sentences of this subsection unless it has given Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and caused to be filed at the request of Agent, or Agent’s counsel to file, such additional financing statements or other instruments in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

(h)

Assignor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements, documents, endorsements, assurances and instruments as Agent may reasonably at any time request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Assignment or related to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order to better assure and confirm unto Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, Assignor shall, at the request of Agent, make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or authorize the execution and delivery of and where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent all such other and further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, certificates and other documents as Agent from time to time may require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning and confirming to Agent the Collateral and the rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter to be conveyed or assigned, and for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Assignment. Upon any failure of Assignor to do so, Agent may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Assignor, and Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact with full power of substitutions of Assignor so to do. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Assignor will obtain such waivers of lien, estoppel certificates or subordination agreements as Agent may reasonably require to insure the priority of its security interest in the Collateral. Assignor also shall furnish to Agent such evidence as Agent reasonably may require from time to time to establish a valid security interest in and to further protect and perfect its security interest in the Collateral.

(i)

Assignor hereby authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Collateral or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Assignor under this Assignment or any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number and organizational number of Assignor. Agent shall upon request provide Assignor with copies of any and all such filings made by Agent.

(j)

The Pledged Equity Interests and the Distributions are not and will not (A) be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) be “investment company securities” (as defined in Section 8-103(b) of the UCC), and (C) be credited to a securities account. None of the Organizational Documents expressly provides that the Pledged

G-1-5

Equity Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction.

General Covenants. Assignor covenants and agrees that, so long as this Assignment is continuing:

(a)

Except as may be specifically set forth in the Credit Agreement, Assignor shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld by Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, directly or indirectly or by operation of law, sell, transfer, assign, dispose of, pledge, convey, option, mortgage, hypothecate or encumber any of the Collateral.

(b)

Assignor shall at all times defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any interest in the Collateral adverse to Agent’s interest in the Collateral as granted hereunder.

(c)

Assignor shall perform in all material respects all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under each of the Organizational Agreements and with respect to the Collateral.

(d)

Assignor shall pay all taxes and other charges against the Collateral.

(e)

Assignor shall promptly deliver to Agent as additional Collateral any note or other document or instrument entered into after the date hereof which evidences, constitutes, guarantees or secures any of the Distributions or any right to receive a Distribution, which notes or other documents and instruments shall be accompanied by such endorsements or assignments as Agent may require to create a perfected security interest therein in favor Agent.

(f)

Assignor will provide to Agent such documents and reports respecting the Collateral in such form and detail as Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

(g)

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Assignor shall remain liable under each of the Organizational Agreements and all other contracts, agreements and instruments included in, giving rise to, creating, establishing, evidencing or relating to the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations (including, without limitation, any obligation to make capital contributions or provide other funds to such entities) to the same extent as if this Assignment had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under any of the Organizational Agreements or any such contracts, agreements and instruments, and (iii) neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability under any of the Organizational Agreements or any such contract, agreement or instrument by reason of this Assignment, nor shall Agent or any of the Lenders be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Assignor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment or other right or privilege assigned to Agent hereunder.

(h)

G-1-6

duly executed by Assignor in such a form as may be required by Agent, to be held by Agent subject to the terms hereof, as further security for the Obligations (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the application of the foregoing to the Obligations). If Assignor receives any of the foregoing directly, Assignor agrees to hold such cash or other property in trust for the benefit of Agent, and to surrender such cash or other property to Agent (or, to the extent it constitutes cash, to the Deposit Account) immediately. In the event that Assignor purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains any additional interest in any Company, or any rights or options to acquire such interest, all rights to receive profits, proceeds, accounts, income, dividends, distributions or other payments as a result of such additional interest, rights and options shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral. All certificates, if any, representing such interests shall be promptly delivered to Agent, together with assignments related thereto, or other instruments appropriate to transfer a certificate representing any such interest, duly executed in blank.

Event of Default. An Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a)

The occurrence of a Default or Unmatured Default under the Credit Agreement; or

(b)

Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Assignor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than Agent or Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of Agent and the effect of such filing is not completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Assignor thereof.

Remedies.

(a)

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may take any action deemed by Agent to be necessary or appropriate to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Agent under this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests. The remedies of Agent shall include, without limitation, all rights and remedies specified in the Loan Documents and this Assignment, all remedies of Agent under applicable general or statutory Law, and the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, regardless of whether the UCC has been enacted or enacted in that form in any other jurisdiction in which such right or remedy is asserted. In addition to such other remedies as may exist from time to time, whether by way of set-off, banker’s lien, consensual security interest or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent is authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to or demand upon Assignor (any such notice or demand being expressly waived by Assignor) to charge any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Agent to or for the credit of or the account of Assignor against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Agent shall have made any demand for payment and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Any notice required by Law, including, but not limited to, notice of the intended disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, shall be reasonable and properly given in the manner prescribed for the giving of notice herein, and, in the case of any notice of disposition, if given at least five (5) business days prior to such disposition. Agent may require Assignor to assemble the Collateral and make it

G-1-7

available to Agent at any place to be designated by Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent shall be entitled to dispose of the Collateral at any public or private sale, and that Agent shall be entitled to bid and purchase at any such sale without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement, advertisement or notice (except such notice as is otherwise required under this Assignment) of any kind, all of which are expressly waived. In the event that Agent is the successful bidder at any public or private sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, the amount bid by the Agent may be credited against the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement. To the extent the Collateral consists of marketable securities, Agent shall not be obligated to sell such securities for the highest price obtainable, but shall sell them at the market price available on the date of sale. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given. Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from claim or right on the part of Assignor. In the event that any consent, approval or authorization of any Governmental Agency or commission will be necessary to effectuate any such sale or sales, Assignor shall execute all such applications or other instruments as Agent may deem reasonably necessary to obtain such consent, approval or authorization. Agent may notify any account debtor or obligor with respect to the Collateral to make payment directly to Agent, and may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral as Agent may determine whether or not the Obligations are due, and for the purpose of realizing Agent’s rights therein, Agent may receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Assignor and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title or other evidences of payment, shipment or storage of any form of Collateral on behalf and in the name of Assignor, as its attorney-in-fact. In addition, Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact either in the name of Agent or Assignor to (i) sign Assignor’s name on any Collateral, drafts against account debtors, assignments, any proof of claim in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any account debtor, any notice of lien, claim of lien or assignment or satisfaction of lien, or on any financing statement or continuation statement under the UCC; (ii) send verifications of accounts receivable to any account debtor; and (iii) in connection with a transfer of the Collateral as described above, sign in Assignor’s name any documents necessary to transfer title to the Collateral to Agent or any third party. All acts of said power of attorney are hereby ratified and approved and Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of law or fact made in connection therewith. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any amounts remain unpaid on any of the Obligations. All remedies of Agent shall be cumulative to the full extent provided by Law, all without liability except to account for property actually received, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise such rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Pursuit by Agent of certain judicial or other remedies shall not xxxxx nor bar other remedies with respect to the Obligations or to other portions of the Collateral. Agent may exercise its rights to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of security or reimbursement for the Obligations. In the event that any transfer tax, deed tax, conveyance tax or similar tax is payable in connection with the foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise of all or any portion of the Collateral, Assignor shall pay such amount to Agent upon demand and if Assignor fail to pay such amount on demand, Agent may advance such amount on behalf of Assignor and the amount

G-1-8

thereof shall become a part of the Obligations and bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts under the Credit Agreement until paid.

(b)

If Assignor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Assignment beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of Assignor contained in this Assignment that Assignor fails to perform, and the cost of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Assignor upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(c)

Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and whether or not Agent is the absolute owner of the Collateral, Agent may take such action as Agent may deem necessary to protect the Collateral or its security interest therein, Agent being hereby authorized to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien that in the reasonable judgment of Agent appears to be prior or superior to its security interest, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorney’s fees. Any such advances made or expenses incurred by Agent shall be deemed advanced under the Loan Documents, shall increase the indebtedness evidenced and secured thereby, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the rate for overdue payments set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(d)

Any certificates or securities held by Agent as Collateral hereunder may, at any time, and at the option of Agent, be registered in the name of Agent or its nominee, endorsed or assigned in blank or in the name of any nominee and Agent may deliver any or all of the Collateral to the issuer or issuers thereof for the purpose of making denominational exchanges or registrations or transfer or for such other purposes in furtherance of this Assignment as Agent may deem desirable. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignor shall retain the right to vote any of the Collateral, or exercise membership rights, in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, and Agent hereby grants to Assignor its proxy to enable Assignor to so vote any of the Collateral (except that Assignor shall not have any right to exercise any such power if the exercise thereof would violate or result in a violation of any of the terms of this Assignment or any of the other Loan Documents). At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent or its nominee shall, without notice or demand, automatically have the sole and exclusive right to give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and exercise all voting, approval or other rights at any meeting of the members of any of the Companies, respectively (and the right to call such meetings) or otherwise (and to give written consents in lieu of voting thereon), and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any of the rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto and thereunder as if Agent or its nominee were the absolute owner thereof (all of such rights of the Assignor ceasing to exist and terminating upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) including, without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or the readjustment of the issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received and in such manner as Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, but Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall

G-1-9

not be responsible for the failure to do so or delay in so doing. The exercise by Agent of any of its rights and remedies under this paragraph shall not be deemed a disposition of collateral under Article 9 of the UCC nor an acceptance by Agent of any of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations.

Duties of Agent. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Agent’s duty with reference to the Collateral shall be solely to use slight care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral, which shall not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties. Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the collection of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of value or uncollectability of any of the payments received by it.

10.

Indemnification.

(a)

It is specifically understood and agreed that this Assignment shall not operate to place any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon Agent or any of the Lenders, or cause Agent or any of the Lenders to be, or to be deemed to be, a member in any of the Companies and that in accepting this Assignment, Agent and the Lenders neither assume nor agree to perform at any time whatsoever any obligation or duty of Assignor under any of the Organizational Agreements or any other mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which Assignor is a party or to which it is subject, all of which obligations and duties shall be and remain with and upon Assignor.

(b)

Assignor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, expenses, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Assignment (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Assignment or acts taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or the Lenders hereunder or in connection therewith), except claims, expenses, losses or liabilities resulting from Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c)

Assignor upon demand shall pay to Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel actually incurred (including those incurred in any appeal), and of any experts and agents, which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Assignment, (ii) the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Assignor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

11.

Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Agent, and the security interests hereunder, and all of the Obligations secured hereby, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(a)

Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)

Any change in the time (including the extension of the initial maturity date of the Loan as provided in the Credit Agreement), manner or place of payment of, or in any other

G-1-10

term of, all or any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents;

(c)

Any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral for the Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; or

(d)

Any other circumstance (other than payment of the Obligations in full) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Assignor, the Companies or any third party for the Obligations or any part thereof.

12.

Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Assignment nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or omission of Agent to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. Failure on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act that constitutes an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of Agent’s rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Event of Default. Assignor hereby waives to the extent permitted by Law all rights that Assignor has or may have under and by virtue of the UCC and any federal, state, county or municipal statute, regulation, ordinance, Constitution or charter, now or hereafter existing, similar in effect thereto providing any right of Assignor to notice and to a judicial hearing prior to seizure by Agent of any of the Collateral. Assignor hereby waives and renounces for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, presentment, demand, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by Law or the Loan Documents) and all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption and appraisement now provided or that may hereafter be provided by the Constitution and Laws of the United States and of any state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement of this Assignment and the collection of any of the Obligations.

13.

Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loan; Release of Collateral. This Assignment shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and the Lenders have no further obligation to make any advances of the Loan, (b) be binding upon Assignor and its heirs, successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of any obligation of the Lenders to make further advances of the Loan or to issue any Facility Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Assignor. Upon any such termination, Agent will, at Assignor’s expense, execute and deliver to Assignor such documents as Assignor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

In view of the position of Assignor in relation to the Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the federal and state securities Laws, the Organizational Agreements, or under any intercreditor agreement, that may now or hereafter be entered into among the Agent and any other bank a party to the Credit Agreement or under any intercreditor agreement, which may now or hereafter be entered into among the Agent and any other party with respect to the Loans or the Collateral (as the same may be modified or amended from time to time, collectively, the “Intercreditor Agreements”) with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder. Assignor understands that compliance with the federal and state securities Laws, the Organizational Agreements, or Intercreditor Agreements might very strictly limit the course of conduct of Agent if Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities Laws. Assignor recognizes that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof and who are able to satisfy any conditions or requirements set forth in the Organizational Agreements, and the Intercreditor Agreements, and Agent may sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and to such Persons as Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions or requirements. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may, in accordance with federal and state securities Law, the Organizational Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreements, (a) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the federal and state securities Laws (b) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale and (c) sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and in such manner and to such Persons as Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions and requirements. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof at a price that Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached or if all the Collateral were sold at a single sale. Assignor further agrees that any sale or sales by Agent of the Collateral made as provided in this Section 14 shall be commercially reasonable. The provisions of this Section 14 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sells. Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable to Assignor for any loss in the value of any portion of the Collateral by reason of any delay in the sale of the Collateral.

Governing Law; Terms. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES OF ANY JURISDICTION).

16.

Notices. Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Assignment must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served if given in the manner prescribed in the Credit Agreement.

No Unwritten Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Assignment. Title or captions of paragraphs hereof are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions hereof. If, for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Assignment shall involve transcending the limited validity presently prescribed by Law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Assignment, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Assignment shall remain operative and in full force and effect. If more than one entity comprises the Assignor, the liability of each such entity shall be joint and several

Modifications, Etc. Assignor hereby consents and agrees that Agent or the Lenders may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent from Assignor, either with or without consideration, surrender any property or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any Person on its behalf or for its account, securing the Obligations; substitute for any Collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind; agree to modification of the terms of the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Loan Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents for any period or to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any guarantor, endorser or any other Person liable with respect to the Obligations; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever; and no such action that Agent or the Lenders shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the Obligations or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Assignor, nor any course of dealing with Assignor or any other person, shall release Assignor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Assignment in any way or afford Assignor any recourse against Agent or any Lender.

The exercise by Agent of any of its rights and remedies under this paragraph shall not be deemed a disposition of collateral under Article 9 of the UCC nor an acceptance by Agent of any of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations.

To secure the full and punctual payment and performance by Borrower of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, together with any and all renewals, restatements, modifications, consolidations, amendments, increases and extensions thereof (such duties, responsibilities and obligations are hereinafter referred to as the “Obligations”), Borrower hereby collaterally assigns, conveys, grants, pledges, hypothecates and transfers to Agent a first-in-lien-priority continuing security interest in Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Deposit Account and all cash and property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired, in the Deposit Account, including without limitation, all checks, drafts, wire transfers (whether made or in the process of being made) and other items deposited in or transferred to the Deposit Account (the “Collateral”).

Agent’s Control of the Account. Pursuant to the Control Agreement, Bank has agreed to comply with any instruction (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC, i.e., an order directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Account) originated by the Agent. Subject to Section 7, the parties acknowledge and agree that by this Agreement and the Control Agreement Agent shall have sole and exclusive control of the Collateral within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC. Borrower and Agent agree that the Control Agreement is an authenticated record for the purposes of Section 9-104(a) of the UCC.

Warranties and Covenants. Borrower hereby warrants and represents to Agent, and covenants and agrees with Agent, as follows:

H-2

(a)

Borrower is and shall remain the sole, lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges, claims of third parties and rights of set off or recoupment whatsoever other than Liens in favor of the Agent and the Bank hereunder, and Borrower has the full and complete right, power and authority to pledge and grant a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b)

This Agreement creates a valid and binding first-in-lien priority pledge and assignment of and security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Neither Borrower nor any other Person has performed or will perform or permit any other Person to perform any acts that might prevent Agent from enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or that would limit Agent in any such enforcement.

(c)

There are no accounts maintained by Borrower, any Subsidiary of Borrower or any other Person for the receipt of Excess Funds other than the Lockboxes, the Holdco Account and the Deposit Account, or such accounts as are required by individual mortgage lenders for property level financings, and there are no agreements regarding the distribution or disposition of the Excess Funds other than this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

General Covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees with Agent that so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding or have not been paid or performed:

(a)

Subject to Section 7, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld by Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, shall not directly, indirectly or by operation of law sell, transfer, assign, dispose of, pledge, convey, option, mortgage, hypothecate or encumber any of the Collateral.

(b)

Borrower shall at all times defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any interest in the Collateral adverse to Agent’s interest in the Collateral as granted hereunder.

(c)

Borrower shall pay all taxes and other charges against the Collateral to the extent due and payable.

(d)

Borrower authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, to execute and/or file any financing statements or financing statement amendments or continuations, that describe or relate to the Collateral or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable to perfect its security interest in any of the Collateral and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number and organizational number of Borrower. Borrower will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver or authorize the execution and delivery of and where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent any financing statements, further assignments, security agreements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, certificates and other documents, and perform such other acts as Agent reasonably may deem necessary from time to time to establish and maintain in favor of Agent, valid and perfected security interests in the Collateral, free of all other liens, encumbrances, security interests and claims other than the Liens of the Agent hereunder. Upon any failure of Borrower to do so, Agent may make, execute, record, file, rerecord and/or refile, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, instruments, certificates and

H-3

documents for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution of Borrower so to do. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will obtain such waivers of lien, estoppel certificates, deposit account control agreements or subordination agreements as Agent may require to insure the priority of its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall also do anything else Agent may reasonably require from time to time to establish a valid security interest in and to further protect and perfect its security interest in the Collateral.

(e)

So long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding, neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary of Borrower shall open any account for the receipt of Excess Funds other than the Deposit Account and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary of Borrower shall enter any agreement regarding the distribution or disposition of the Excess Funds other than this Agreement.

Establishment and Funding of Deposit Account.

(a)

Establishment of Deposit Account. Borrower has established and currently maintains the Deposit Account with the Bank and acknowledges that the Deposit Account is a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC).

(b)

Distributions as Property Only of Borrower. Borrower warrants and represents to, and covenants and agrees with, Agent that all Excess Funds, when transferred from any account to the Deposit Account, (i) are intended to be and are hereby agreed to be at that time property of only Borrower, subject, however, in all events, to the security interests granted by this Agreement to Agent, (ii) shall constitute a distribution from the Borrower’s Subsidiaries to Borrower and (iii) shall be held by Bank for the benefit of Agent free of any liens or claim on the part of creditors of the Borrower other than Liens in favor of Agent and the Bank.

(c)

Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any other agreement between Borrower and Agent, Borrower and Agent hereby agree that the “bank’s jurisdiction” as said term is used in Section 9-304 of the UCC is and shall be the State of Illinois as provided in the Control Agreement and the Laws of such state shall govern the perfection or nonperfection, and the priority of security interest of Agent, in the Deposit Account.

Transfer of Funds Out of Deposit Account. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Agent shall permit Bank, in accordance with its customary cash management practices, to sweep all funds from the Deposit Account on a daily basis to an account designated by Borrower. Each transfer of funds from the Deposit Account shall be made only to the extent that immediately available funds are on deposit in the Deposit Account, and Agent shall not have any responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds on deposit in the Deposit Account are insufficient. From and after Bank’s transfer of such funds, Agent shall have no further liability or responsibility with respect to, or control over, or security interest in, the funds so transferred. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to direct Bank to hold all funds in the Deposit Account and only release such funds on a weekly basis to pay such expenses as the Administrative Agent has approved in writing in response to a written payment direction from Borrower certifying the proposed amounts and payees with respect to the requested disbursements describing in detail by category the expenses for such week.

H-4

Event of Default. An Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a)

Any warranty, representation or statement made by or on behalf of Borrower in this Agreement proves untrue or misleading in any material respect upon the date when made or deemed to have been made or repeated; or

(b)

Borrower shall fail to, or Borrower shall fail to cause any other Person to, duly and fully comply with any covenant, condition or agreement in §5(a) of this Agreement; or

(c)

Borrower shall fail to duly and fully comply with any other covenant, condition or agreement of this Agreement (other than those specified in subsection (b) above or any default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in the Credit Agreement) and the same is not cured in the applicable time period provided in the Credit Agreement, if any; or

(d)

The occurrence of a “Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement); or

(e)

Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Borrower as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than Agent or Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of Agent and the effect of such filing is not completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) Business Days after written notice to Borrower thereof.

Remedies.

(a)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, without limitation, may:

(i)

without notice to Borrower, except as required by Law, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off, and otherwise apply all or any part of the Collateral against the Obligations or any part thereof;

(ii)

in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC; and

(iii)

demand, collect, take possession of, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose, or otherwise realize upon the Collateral (or any portion thereof) as Agent may determine in its sole discretion.

(b)

Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral. Agent may take any action deemed by Agent to be necessary or appropriate to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Agent under this Agreement, and/or under any of the other Loan Documents. The remedies of Agent shall include, without limitation, all rights and remedies specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all remedies of Agent under applicable Law, and the remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in the State of Ohio, regardless of whether the UCC has been enacted or enacted in that form in any other jurisdiction in which such right or remedy is asserted.

H-5

(c)

If Borrower fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of Borrower contained in this Agreement that Borrower shall fail to perform, and the cost of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the rate for overdue payments under the Credit Agreement.

(d)

Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and whether or not Agent is the absolute owner of the Collateral, Agent may take such action as Agent may deem reasonably necessary to protect the Collateral or its security interest therein, Agent being hereby authorized to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien that in the reasonable judgment of Agent appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay reasonably necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorney’s fees. Any such advances made or expenses incurred by Agent shall constitute a part of the Obligations, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the rate for overdue payments under the Credit Agreement.

10.

Duties of Agent. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Such care as Agent gives to the safekeeping of its own property of like kind shall constitute reasonable care of the Collateral when in Agent’s possession; provided that Agent shall not be required to make any presentment, demand or protest or give any notice of nonperformance, dishonor, protest or of any other nature and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any prior party or any other Person in connection with the Indebtedness or with respect to the Collateral. Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for the collection of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of value or uncollectability of any of the payments received by it.

11.

Indemnification.

(a)

It is specifically understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not operate to place any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon Agent, or cause Agent to be, or to be deemed to be, a partner, shareholder or member, as applicable in Borrower and that in accepting this Agreement, Agent does not assume or agree to perform at any time whatsoever any obligation or duty of Borrower relating to the Collateral or any other mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or to which it is subject, all of which obligations and duties shall be and remain with and upon Borrower.

(b)

Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent and its officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all claims, expenses, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement) or acts taken or omitted by Agent hereunder or in connection herewith, except claims, expenses, losses or liabilities arising from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c)

Borrower upon demand shall pay to Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel actually incurred (including those incurred in any appeal), and of any experts and agents, that Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the sale of, collection

H-6

from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof beyond any applicable period for notice and cure.

12.

Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Agent, and the security interests hereunder, and all of the obligations secured hereby, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(a)

Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)

Any change in the time (including the extension of the maturity date of the Note), manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents;

(c)

(d)

Any other circumstance (other than payment of the Obligations in full) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any third party for the Obligations or any part thereof.

13.

Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or omission of Agent to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. Failure on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act that constitutes an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of Agent’s rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any such or Event of Default. Borrower hereby waives to the extent permitted by Law all rights that Borrower has or may have under and by virtue of the UCC or in any other state, and any federal, state, county or municipal statute, regulation, ordinance, Constitution or charter, now or hereafter existing, similar in effect thereto providing any right of Borrower to notice and to a judicial hearing prior to seizure by Agent of any of the Collateral. Borrower hereby waives and renounces for itself, its successors and assigns, presentment, demand, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by Law or the Loan Documents) and all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption and appraisement now provided or that may hereafter be provided by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of any state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement of this Agreement and the collection of any of the Obligations.

14.

Continuing Security Interest; Release of Collateral. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the performance of all obligations of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, (b) be binding upon Borrower and their permitted successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Bank, Agent and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the performance of all obligations of

H-7

Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower. Upon any such termination, Agent will at Borrower’s expense execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and the release of any lien created by this Agreement. No third Person shall be or be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Agreement.

15.

Assignment Binding Upon Successors. This Agreement may be assigned by Borrower only with the prior written consent of Agent. All rights of Agent under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. All obligations of Borrower shall bind its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

16.

Governing Law; Terms. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS AND CHOICE OF LAW).

17.

Notices. Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly given or served if given in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.

18.

No Unwritten Agreements. THE AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

19.

Cash Collateral. In the event that Borrower becomes the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, the parties hereto agree that the Collateral shall constitute “cash collateral” of Agent under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

20.

Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Title or captions of paragraphs hereof are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions hereof. References to a particular section refer to that section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. If, for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by applicable Law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

21.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. Said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument and shall be binding upon each of the undersigned individually as fully and completely as if all had signed but one instrument.

All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. Borrower has executed and delivered to the Lenders certain promissory notes and may in the future execute and deliver to the Lenders additional promissory notes (the promissory notes, made in favor of the Lenders, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”), in and by which the Borrower promises to pay the principal of all Loans under such Credit Agreement and interest at the rate and in installments as provided in the Credit Agreement, with a final payment of the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest being due on or before October 14, 2010, subject to extension to October 14, 2011 in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Mortgagor has guaranteed payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Notes and the Credit Agreement pursuant to a Subsidiary Guaranty (the “Guaranty”). The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loans evidenced by the Notes shall be $200,000,000. The indebtedness secured hereby shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

In consideration of the debt evidenced by the Notes and the Commitments evidenced by the Credit Agreement and to secure the timely payment of both principal and interest in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes and the Guaranty and in accordance with the terms, provisions and limitations of this Mortgage, to secure the payment of any and all amounts advanced by the Mortgagee with respect to the Premises for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or any other costs incurred in the protection of the Premises, and to secure the performance of the covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Notes, the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Security Documents and any other documents evidencing or securing the loans secured hereby or delivered to Mortgagee pursuant to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) to be performed by Borrower or any Guarantor, and for the purpose of securing payment and performance of the Secured Obligations defined and described in Section 1.2 below, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants, bargains, sells, conveys, mortgages and

Secured Obligations.

Mortgagor makes the grant, conveyance, and mortgage set forth in Section 1.1 above, and grants the security interest set forth in Section 3 below for the purpose of securing the following obligations (the “Secured Obligations”) in any order of priority that Mortgagee may choose:

Payment of all obligations at any time owing under the Notes under the terms of the Credit Agreement; and

Payment and performance of all obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage; and

Payment and performance of all other obligations of the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor(s) under the other Loan Documents; and

Payment and performance of all future advances and other obligations that Mortgagor or any successor in ownership of all or part of the Property may agree to pay and/or perform (whether as principal, surety or guarantor) for the benefit of Mortgagee, when a writing evidences the parties’ agreement that the advance or obligation be secured by this Mortgage; and

I-3

Payment and performance of all modifications, amendments, extensions, and renewals, however evidenced, of any of the Secured Obligations.

All persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured Obligations. Such terms include any provisions in the Note or the Credit Agreement which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

Assignment of Rents.

Assignment. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s title and interest, if any, in all existing and future Leases relating to the use and enjoyment of all or any part of the Premises and Improvements, and any and all guaranties and other agreements relating to or made in connection with any of such Leases. Such assignment to Mortgagee shall not be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Leases or otherwise impose any obligation on Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Mortgagee all rents, sublease rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income, accounts, proceeds and other benefits of the Property, whether now due, past due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits, and including any termination payments under any Lease or sublease (some or all collectively, as the context may require, “Rents”). This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only.

Grant of License. Mortgagee hereby confers upon Mortgagor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Default, as defined in Section 6.2 below, shall exist and be continuing. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its sole discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and without regard to the adequacy of Mortgagee’s security under this Mortgage.

Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License granted to Mortgagor under Section 2.2 above, Mortgagee has the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, if and at the times when Mortgagee in its sole discretion may so choose:

Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents; or

Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents; or

Xxx either in the name of Mortgagor or in the name of Mortgagee for any and all Rents.

Mortgagee and Mortgagor agree that the mere recordation of the assignment granted herein entitles Mortgagee immediately to collect and receive rents upon the occurrence of a Default, as defined in Section 6.2, without first taking any acts of enforcement under applicable law, such as, but not limited to, providing notice to Mortgagor, filing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking and/or obtaining the appointment of a receiver. Further, Mortgagee’s right to the Rents does not depend on whether or not Mortgagee takes possession of the Property as permitted under Subsection 6.3(c). In Mortgagee’s sole discretion, Mortgagee may choose to collect Rents either with or without taking

I-4

possession of the Property. Mortgagee shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.6. If a Default occurs while Mortgagee is in possession of all or part of the Property and is collecting and applying Rents as permitted under this Mortgage, Mortgagee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage and at law or in equity.

Mortgagee Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Mortgagee have any duty to produce Rents from the Property. Regardless of whether or not Mortgagee, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Premises and Improvements, unless Mortgagee agrees in writing to the contrary, Mortgagee is not and shall not be deemed to be:

A “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose; or

Responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any Lease; or

Responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property, unless caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Mortgagee; or

Liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it.

Leasing. Mortgagor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of rents under the Leases for any rental period exceeding one (1) month without Mortgagee’s prior written consent. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into, modify, waive or release any party from the performance or observance of any material obligation or condition, or terminate or accept the surrender, of any Lease (including, but not limited to, any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support thereof) (each of the foregoing circumstances being a “Material Lease Event”) which affects any one space comprising 10,000 square feet or more of gross leaseable area (a “Major Lease”), without the prior written approval of Mortgagee in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each request for approval shall be made in writing to Mortgagee and shall include the following in all capital, bold and block letters:

“THE FOLLOWING REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN 15 DAYS OF RECEIPT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.”

Failure of Mortgagee to approve or disapprove a Material Lease Event within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written request and all documents and information reasonably required by Mortgagee, shall be deemed approval, provided that the written request for approval specifically mentioned the same as required above.

Grant of Security Interest.

Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Mortgage to create a lien on the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Leases and Rents, all in favor of Mortgagee. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some or all of the Rents may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property, Leases or Rents may be or be determined to be personal property, Mortgagor as debtor hereby grants Mortgagee as

I-5

secured party a security interest in all such Property, Leases and Rents, to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, covering all such Property, Leases and Rents.

Financing Statements. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file one or more financing statements. In addition, Mortgagor shall execute such other documents as Mortgagee may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Mortgagee’s security interest in any Property, Leases or Rents. As provided in Section 5.10 below, Mortgagor shall pay all fees and costs that Mortgagee may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Mortgagee may reasonably require. In case Mortgagor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Mortgage or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.

Fixture Filing.

This Mortgage constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any Property which now is or later may become fixtures attached to the Premises or Improvements. For this purpose, the respective addresses of Mortgagor, as debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party, are as set forth in the preamble of this Mortgage.

Rights and Duties of the Parties.

Representations and Warranties. Mortgagor represents and warrants that:

Mortgagor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to all of the Premises and Improvements;

Mortgagor has or will have good title to all Property other than the Premises and Improvements;

Mortgagor has the full and unlimited power, right and authority to encumber the Property and assign the Rents;

This Mortgage creates a first and prior lien on the Property;

The Property includes all property and rights which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to promote the present and any reasonable future beneficial use and enjoyment of the Premises and Improvements;

Mortgagor owns any Property which is personal property free and clear of any security agreements, reservations of title or conditional sales contracts, and there is no financing statement affecting such personal property on file in any public office;

Mortgagor’s place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the address set forth in the preamble of this Mortgage;

I-6

There has been no material adverse change in the physical or financial condition of the Property since the most recent date on which Mortgagor delivered to Mortgagee rent rolls and other information regarding the physical and financial condition of the Property.

Taxes, and Assessments. Mortgagor shall, prior to delinquency, pay or cause to be paid each installment of all taxes and special assessments of every kind, now or hereafter levied against the Property or any part thereof, without notice or demand, and shall provide Mortgagee with evidence of the payment of same upon the request of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay all taxes and assessments which may be levied upon Mortgagee’s or the Lenders’ interest herein or upon this Mortgage or the debt secured hereby (excluding any income taxes or similar charges imposed upon Mortgagee or the Lenders), without regard to any law that may be enacted imposing payment of the whole or any part thereof upon the Mortgagee or any Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, Mortgagor shall have the right to pay or cause to be paid any such tax or special assessment under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or special assessment but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such tax or special assessment so contested and also prevent the sale or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Mortgagor promptly notifies Mortgagee in writing of its intent to contest such tax or special assessment, and (iii) if so requested in writing by Mortgagee, Mortgagor has deposited security in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, and increases the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Mortgagee’s request therefor. Mortgagor shall prosecute or cause the prosecution of all such contest actions in good faith and with due diligence and, promptly after request from Mortgagee, report to Mortgagee on the status and results of such contest actions. If any such contest action is unsuccessful Mortgagor shall promptly pay all sums determined to be due as required by the final order or ruling in such contest action and in any event such payment shall be made prior to the date on which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited under any writ or order issued pursuant to such final order or ruling.

Performance of Secured Obligations. Mortgagor shall promptly pay and perform each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.

Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Mortgagor shall not permit any lien, charge or encumbrance on or against the Property other than those permitted under clauses (i)-(iv) of Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement and shall immediately discharge any such unpermitted lien, charge or encumbrance on the Property promptly after written demand from the Mortgagee.

Damages, Restoration, and Insurance Proceeds. As long as no Default has occurred and is then continuing, all insurance proceeds for losses at the Property of less than $1,000,000.00 shall be adjusted with and payable to the Mortgagor. In case of loss, Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in and reasonably approve the settlement of any insurance claim in excess of $1,000,000.00, and with respect to claims in excess of $1,000,000.00, Mortgagee is authorized to collect and receive any insurance money for such claims.

So long as no Default has occurred and is then continuing, and to the extent that either (i) Mortgagor is obligated to carry out such repair or restoration under one or more of the Leases or (ii) the costs of restoration do not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the value of the Improvements immediately prior to such casualty, the Mortgagee shall make such insurance proceeds available to pay for such costs of repair and restoration on a monthly basis during such repair and restoration. The Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be substantially the same quality and character as the Premises were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans and specifications or to such other condition as Mortgagee shall reasonably approve in writing. If the

I-7

conditions to Mortgagee’s obligation to make such insurance proceeds are not satisfied, the Mortgagee shall have the right, if so directed by the Required Lenders, to apply such insurance proceeds to payment of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not. .

If Mortgagee is holding any such insurance proceeds, any request by Mortgagor for a disbursement by Mortgagee of fire or casualty insurance proceeds or of funds deposited by Mortgagor with Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be conditioned upon Borrower’s providing to Mortgagee: updated title insurance; satisfactory evidence, as reasonably determined by Mortgagee, that the Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be of at least equal value and quality and substantially the same character as the Premises were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans and specifications or to such other condition as Mortgagee shall reasonably approve in writing; satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion thereof; and with such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractors’ sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as Mortgagee may reasonably require and approve. The undisbursed balance of insurance proceeds shall at all times be sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of the work free and clear of liens and if such proceeds are insufficient, Mortgagor shall deposit the amount of such deficiency with Mortgagee prior to the disbursement by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds.

Condemnation Proceeds. Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Mortgagee its entire interest in the proceeds (the “Condemnation Proceeds”) of any award or any claim for damages for any of the Property taken or damaged under the power of eminent domain or by condemnation or any transaction in lieu of condemnation (“Condemnation”), unless, notwithstanding the foregoing, such taking, damage or condemnation does not cause a material diminution in the value of the Premises. So long as the portion of the Premises taken in such Condemnation does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total square footage of the Premises and the portion of the Improvements taken in such Condemnation does not exceed five percent (5%) of the total gross leaseable area of the Improvements, Mortgagee shall be obligated to make the Condemnation Proceeds available to Mortgagor for the restoration of the Property, if Mortgagor satisfies all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 hereof for disbursement of insurance proceeds. In all other cases Mortgagee shall have the right, if so directed by the Required Lenders, to apply the Condemnation Proceeds to payment of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not. If the Condemnation Proceeds are required to be used as aforesaid to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring buildings or improvements on the Property, or if Mortgagee elects that the Condemnation Proceeds be so used, and the buildings and other improvements shall be rebuilt or restored, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid out in the same manner as is provided in Section 5.5 hereof for the payment of insurance proceeds toward the cost of rebuilding or restoration of such buildings and other improvements. Any surplus which may remain out of the Condemnation Proceeds after payment of such cost of rebuilding or restoration shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied on account of the indebtedness secured hereby or be paid to any other party entitled thereto.

Maintenance and Preservation of Property.

Mortgagor shall keep the Property in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, as provided in Section 6.8 of the Credit Agreement.

Mortgagor shall not remove or demolish the Property or any material part of it in any way, or materially alter, restore or add to the Property, or initiate or allow any material change or variance in any zoning or other Premises use classification which adversely affects the Property or any material part of it, except with Mortgagee’s express prior written consent in each instance.

I-8

Mortgagor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Property which would violate: (i) any applicable Laws or order of any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or later to be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen; or (ii) any public or private covenant, condition, restriction or equitable servitude affecting the Property. Mortgagor shall not bring or keep any article on the Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, if that could invalidate or would be prohibited by any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Mortgagor on the Property or any part of it under the Credit Agreement.

Mortgagor shall not commit or allow waste of the Property, including those acts or omissions characterized under the Credit Agreement as waste which arises out of Materials of Environmental Concern.

Mortgagor shall perform all other acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to maintain and preserve its value.

(f)

Mortgagor shall insure the Property as required by Section 5.17 of the Credit Agreement and shall also carry worker’s compensation insurance as and to the extent required by law. During the term of the Credit Agreement, the premium on each such insurance policy shall be paid on or prior to the date when due and the policy term renewed annually in the same form and with at least the same coverage as the preceding year, with Mortgagee to receive notice of renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration. Further, no such policy shall be subject to cancellation, nonrenewal or reduction of coverage unless the insurer has given Mortgagee at least thirty (30) days' (or in the case of non-payment of premium, ten (10) days) prior written notice of such action. All policies described herein must be issued by insurance companies and agencies licensed by the Insurance Commission (or comparable agency) of the state in which the Property is located (the "State") to conduct business in the State and approved by Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall have the right to approve each and every insurance carrier and policy (in form and content), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All policies shall include a standard, non-contributory mortgagee clause naming Mortgagee as additional insured under all liability insurance policies, as first mortgagee and loss payee on all property insurance policies and as the loss payee on all loss of rents insurance policies.

Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security. From time to time, Mortgagee may perform any of the following acts without incurring any liability or giving notice to any person:

Release any person liable for payment of any Secured Obligation;

Extend the time for payment, or otherwise alter the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation;

Accept additional real or personal property of any kind as security for any Secured Obligation, whether evidenced by deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreements or any other instruments of security;

Alter, substitute or release any property securing the Secured Obligations;

Consent to the making of any plat or map of the Property or any part of it;

I-9

Join in granting any easement or creating any restriction affecting the Property; or

Join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Mortgage or the lien of it; or

Release the Property or any part of it.

Release. If (a) Borrower shall fully pay all principal and interest on the Notes, and all other indebtedness secured hereby and comply with all of the other terms and provisions hereof to be performed and complied with by Mortgagor, and terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make additional advances under the Credit Agreement; or (b) Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions as set forth in Section 2.3(d) of the Credit Agreement for release of this Mortgage, Mortgagee, upon written request of Mortgagor stating that the requirements of either clause (a) or clause (b) above have been satisfied, shall release this Mortgage and the lien thereof by proper instrument upon payment and discharge of the amounts required under the Credit Agreement and payment of any filing fee in connection with such release. Mortgagor shall pay any costs of preparation and recordation of such release.

Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification.

Mortgagor agrees to pay fees required by and pursuant to the Credit Agreement, for any services that Mortgagee may render in connection with this Mortgage, including Mortgagee’s providing a statement of the Secured Obligations or providing the release pursuant to Section 5.9 above. Mortgagor shall also pay or reimburse all of Mortgagee’s costs and expenses which may be incurred in rendering any such services. Mortgagor further agrees to pay or reimburse Mortgagee for all costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or made by Mortgagee in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Mortgage, including any rights or remedies afforded to Mortgagee under Section 6.3, whether any lawsuit is filed or not, or in defending any action or proceeding arising under or relating to this Mortgage, including attorneys’ fees and other legal costs, costs of any Foreclosure Sale (as defined in Subsection 6.3(i) below) and any cost of evidence of title. If Mortgagee chooses to dispose of Property through more than one Foreclosure Sale, Mortgagor shall pay all costs, expenses or other advances that may be incurred or made by Mortgagee in each of such Foreclosure Sales. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof or enforce any other remedy of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or the Note, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee for attorneys’ costs and fees (including the costs and fees of paralegals), survey charges, appraiser’s fees, inspecting engineer’s and/or architect’s fees, fees for environmental studies and assessments and all additional expenses incurred by Mortgagee with respect to environmental matters, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to, the value of or the environmental condition of the Property. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this Subsection mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Property and maintenance of the lien of this Mortgage, including the fees of any attorney (including the costs and fees of paralegals) employed by Mortgagee in any litigation or proceeding

I-10

affecting this Mortgage, the Note or the Property, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

Mortgagee shall not be directly or indirectly liable to Mortgagor or any other person as a consequence of any of the following:

Mortgagee’s exercise of or failure to exercise any rights, remedies or powers granted to Mortgagee in this Mortgage;

Mortgagee’s failure or refusal to perform or discharge any obligation or liability of Mortgagor under any agreement related to the Property or under this Mortgage; or

Any loss sustained by Mortgagor or any third party resulting from Mortgagee’s failure to lease the Property, or from any other act or omission of Mortgagee in managing the Property, after a Default, unless the loss is caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence, or bad faith of Mortgagee.

Mortgagor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the types described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be asserted against or imposed upon Mortgagee.

Mortgagor agrees to indemnify Mortgagee against and hold it harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action, judgments, court costs, attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, cost of evidence of title, cost of evidence of value, and other costs and expenses which it may suffer or incur, unless caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Mortgagee:

In performing any act required or permitted by this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or by law;

Because of any failure of Mortgagor to perform any of its obligations; or

Because of any alleged obligation of or undertaking by Mortgagee to perform or discharge any of the representations, warranties, conditions, covenants or other obligations in any document relating to the Property other than the Loan Documents.

This agreement by Mortgagor to indemnify Mortgagee shall survive the release and cancellation of any or all of the Secured Obligations and the full or partial release of this Mortgage.

Mortgagor shall pay all obligations to pay money arising under this Section 5.10 immediately upon demand by Mortgagee. Each such obligation shall be added to, and considered to be part of, the principal of the Note, and shall bear interest from the date the obligation arises at the Default Rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances.

Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Mortgagor’s sole expense, Mortgagor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Mortgage and the rights and powers of Mortgagee created under it, against all adverse

I-11

claims. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted which does or could affect any such matters, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.

Subrogation. Mortgagee shall be subrogated to the liens of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in part by Mortgagee in accordance with this Mortgage or with the proceeds of any loan secured by this Mortgage.

Site Visits, Observation and Testing. Mortgagee and its agents and representatives shall have the right to enter and visit the Property in accordance with the terms of Section 6.9 of the Credit Agreement for the purpose of performing appraisals, observing the Property, and conducting non-invasive tests (unless Mortgagee has a good faith reason to believe that the taking and removing soil or groundwater samples is required, and in such case, conducting such tests) on any part of the Property. Mortgagee has no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by Mortgagee, its agents or representatives shall impose any liability on any of Mortgagee, its agents or representatives. In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by Mortgagee, its agents or representatives be a representation that Materials of Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to Materials of Environmental Concern or any other applicable governmental law. Neither Mortgagor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any of Mortgagee, its agents or representatives. Neither Mortgagee, its agents or representatives owe any duty of care to protect Mortgagor or any other party against, or to inform Mortgagor or any other party of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor reasonable notice before entering the Property. Mortgagee shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Mortgagor’s use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Section 5.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights granted to Mortgagee under this Section 5.13 are subject to all rights of tenants to the Property.

Notice of Change. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prior written notice of any change in: (a) the location of its place of business or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business; (b) the location of any of the Property, including the Books and Records; and (c) Mortgagor’s name or business structure. Unless otherwise approved by Mortgagee in writing, all Property that consists of personal property (other than the Books and Records) will be located on the Premises and all Books and Records will be located at Mortgagor’s place of business or chief executive office if Mortgagor has more than one place of business.

Transfers, Default and Remedies.

Transfers. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee is making one or more advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Mortgagor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract. In consideration of Mortgagee’s reliance, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor shall not make any transfer of the Property or transfer of its interests therein, except for leases in the ordinary course (a “Transfer”), unless the Transfer is preceded by Mortgagee’s express written consent to the particular transaction and transferee. Mortgagee may withhold such consent in its sole discretion.

Events of Default. Mortgagor will be in default under this Mortgage upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each a “Default”):

I-12

If a default shall occur with respect to covenants, agreements and obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage involving the payment of money (other than a default in the payment of principal when due as provided in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement) and shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after the due date thereof; or

If there is a failure to perform or observe any of the other covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Mortgage in accordance with the terms hereof, and such default continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Mortgagee to defaulting Mortgagor of the occurrence thereof;

A “Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs under the Credit Agreement.

Remedies. At any time after a Default, Mortgagee shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described below, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at law or in equity. All of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of remedies.

Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Default, the whole of said principal sum hereby secured shall, at the election of Mortgagee as described in Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement, become immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Mortgagor.

Receiver. Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, without notice and without giving bond to Mortgagor or anyone claiming by, under or through Mortgagor, and without regard for the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or the then value of the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to have a receiver appointed for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, and the proceeds, issues and profits thereof, with the rights and powers referenced below and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment. Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable law, all other powers which are necessary or usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property, and such rights and powers as Mortgagee would have, upon entering and taking possession of the Property under subsection (c) below.

Entry. Mortgagee, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Mortgagee may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include: taking and possessing all of Mortgagor’s or the then owner’s Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Mortgagee; completing any unfinished construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Mortgagee so requests, Mortgagor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Premises and make all of it available to Mortgagee at the site of the Premises. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor’s attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Mortgagee in its sole

I-13

discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Mortgagor’s name on any instruments.

Cure; Protection of Security. Mortgagee may cure any breach or default of Mortgagor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Mortgagee may also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which it may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Mortgagee under, this Mortgage; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which in Mortgagee’s sole judgment is or may be senior in priority to this Mortgage, such judgment of Mortgagee or to be conclusive as among the parties to this Mortgage; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under the Credit Agreement; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Mortgagee. Mortgagee may take any of the actions permitted under this Subsection 6.3(d) either with or without giving notice to any person. Any amounts expended by Mortgagee under this Subsection 6.3(d) shall be secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located.

Foreclosure; Lawsuits. Mortgagee shall have the right, in one or several concurrent or consecutive proceedings, to foreclose the lien hereof upon the Property or any part thereof, for the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, by any proceedings appropriate under applicable law. Mortgagee or its nominee may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any foreclosure or other sale hereunder, and the amount of Mortgagee’s successful bid shall be credited on the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee may proceed by a suit or suits in law or equity, whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure under the judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to the right provided in Subsection 6.3(b), upon, or at any time after the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver of the property by the court in which such complaint is filed, and Mortgagor hereby consents to such appointment.

Other Remedies. Mortgagee may exercise all rights and remedies contained in any other instrument, document, agreement or other writing heretofore, concurrently or in the future executed by Mortgagor or any other person or entity in favor of Mortgagee in connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall have the right to pursue all remedies afforded to a mortgagee under applicable law, and shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of such applicable law, including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time to time after the date hereof.

Sale of Personal Property. Mortgagee shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.

I-14

For purposes of this power of sale, Mortgagee may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Premises or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Mortgagee may dispose of any personal property, in any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law.

In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Mortgagor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Mortgagee shall mail written notice of the sale to Mortgagor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale. Mortgagee will publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written request, Mortgagee will make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding, Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.

Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales. If the Property consists of more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Mortgagee may:

Designate the order in which the lots, parcels and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale or disposition; and

Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or items through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be held or made under or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any other manner Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interests (any such sale or disposition, a “Foreclosure Sale;” and any two or more, “Foreclosure Sales”).

If Mortgagee chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Mortgagee at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such different days and at such different times and in such order as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the liens of this Mortgage on any part of the Property which has not been sold, until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Mortgagor or Mortgagee, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Mortgagee may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales price of the property against the following obligations:

First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Mortgagor is obligated to pay or reimburse Mortgagee under Section 5.10 of this Mortgage; and

Second, all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose.

I-15

Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale in the following manner:

First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Mortgagor is obligated to reimburse Mortgagee under Section 5.10 of this Mortgage;

Second, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to any sums expended or advanced by Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage which then remain unpaid;

Third, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose; and

Fourth, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it.

Application of Rents and Other Sums. Mortgagee shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale which Mortgagee may receive or collect under Section 6.3 above, in the following manner:

First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Mortgagee or any receiver;

Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose; and

Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it.

Mortgagee shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.

Miscellaneous Provisions.

Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Mortgage. The Loan Documents also grant further rights to Mortgagee and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Borrower and Mortgagor which apply to this Mortgage and to the Property.

No Waiver or Cure.

Each waiver by Mortgagee must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Mortgagee to take action on account of any default of Mortgagor. Consent by Mortgagee to any act or omission by Mortgagor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Mortgagee’s consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.

If any of the events described below occurs, that event alone shall not: cure or waive any breach, Default or notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act performed pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid and performed and all other defaults under the Loan Documents have been cured); or impair the security of this Mortgage; or

I-16

prejudice Mortgagee or any receiver in the exercise of any right or remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage; or be construed as an affirmation by Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease or option, or a subordination of the lien of this Mortgage.

Mortgagee, its agent or a receiver takes possession of all or any part of the Property in the manner provided in Subsection 6.3(c).

Mortgagee collects and applies Rents as permitted under Sections 2.3 and 6.6 above, either with or without taking possession of all or any part of the Property.

Mortgagee receives and applies to any Secured Obligation any proceeds of any Property, including any proceeds of insurance policies, condemnation awards, or other claims, property or rights assigned to Mortgagee under Section 5.5 and Section 5.6 above.

Mortgagee makes a site visit, observes the Property and/or conducts tests as permitted under Section 5.13 above.

Mortgagee receives any sums under this Mortgage or any proceeds of any collateral held for any of the Secured Obligations, and applies them to one or more Secured Obligations.

Mortgagee or any receiver invokes any right or remedy provided under this Mortgage.

Powers of Mortgagee.

If Mortgagee performs any act which it is empowered or authorized to perform under this Mortgage, including any act permitted by Section 5.8 or Subsection 6.3(d) of this Mortgage, that act alone shall not release or change the personal liability of any person for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, or the lien of this Mortgage on all or the remainder of the Property for full payment and performance of all outstanding Secured Obligations. The liability of the original Mortgagor shall not be released or changed if Mortgagee grants any successor in interest to Mortgagor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Mortgagee shall not be required to comply with any demand by the original Mortgagor that Mortgagee refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.

Mortgagee may take any of the actions permitted under Subsections 6.3(b) and/or 6.3(c) regardless of the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been given under this Mortgage.

From time to time, Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing and enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Mortgage. Mortgagee may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in executing and enforcing these rights and remedies.

Merger. No merger shall occur as a result of Mortgagee’s acquiring any other estate in or any other lien on the Property unless Mortgagee consents to a merger in writing.

I-17

Joint and Several Liability. If Mortgagor consists of more than one person, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the faithful performance of all of Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage.

Applicable Law. The creation, perfection and enforcement of the lien of this Mortgage shall be governed by the law of the State in which the property is located. Subject to the foregoing, in all other respects, this Mortgage shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Illinois.

Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Section 7.7 does not waive the provisions of Section 6.1 above.

Interpretation.

Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.”

The word “obligations” is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.

No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this Mortgage. The Exhibits to this Mortgage are hereby incorporated in this Mortgage.

Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby agrees that it shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any so-called “Moratorium Laws,” now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, but hereby waives the benefit of such laws. Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold as an entirety. Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any judgment of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property of any nature whatsoever, subsequent to the date of this Mortgage. The foregoing waiver of right of redemption is made pursuant to the provisions of applicable law.

Severability. If any provision of this Mortgage should be held unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of this Mortgage except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Mortgagee may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due and payable.

Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if given in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.

I-18

Any notice or demand delivered to the person or entity named above to accept notices and demands for Mortgagor shall constitute notice or demand duly delivered to Mortgagor, even if delivery is refused.

Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to, and the parties intend that it shall secure indebtedness, exclusive of interest thereon, in a maximum amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment from time to time under the Credit Agreement which shall be an amount up to $200,000,000 which indebtedness may include advances made at the request of Borrower or Mortgagor or its respective successor(s) in title after this Mortgage is filed of record to the fullest extent and with the highest priority contemplated by law (including disbursements that the Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make under this Mortgage, the Loan Documents or any other document with respect thereto) plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the enforcement of this Mortgage and any remedies hereunder, payment of taxes, special assessments, utilities or insurance on the Property and interest on such disbursements and all disbursements by Mortgagee pursuant to applicable law (all such indebtedness being hereinafter referred to as the maximum amount secured hereby). This Mortgage shall be valid and have priority to the extent of the maximum amount secured hereby over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens, excepting solely taxes and assessments levied on the Property given priority by law. All future advances under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall have the same priority as if the future advance was made on the date that this Mortgage was recorded.

Mortgagee’s Lien for Service Charge and Expenses. At all times, regardless of whether any Loan proceeds have been disbursed, this Mortgage secures the payment of any and all loan commissions, service charges, liquidated damages, expenses and advances due to or incurred by Mortgagee not to exceed the maximum amount secured hereby.

Advances. The loan evidenced by the Notes is a “revolving credit loan”. The lien of the Mortgage shall secure all advances made pursuant to the terms of the Agreement to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of execution of the Mortgage, provided that such advances are made within twenty (20) years from the date hereof. Although there may be no indebtedness outstanding on the Note at the time any such advance is made, the lien of the Mortgage as to third persons without actual notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and future advances from the time this Mortgage is filed for record. The total amount of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Mortgage may increase or decrease from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time shall not exceed the maximum amount specified in Section 7.13 plus interest thereon and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, special assessments, insurance or other disbursements made pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, or the other Loan Documents.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. MORTGAGOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE, THE NOTE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE. MORTGAGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS MORTGAGE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. MORTGAGOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF

I-19

THIS WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR MORTGAGEE TO MAKE THE LOAN, ENTER INTO THIS MORTGAGE AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (iii) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.

Incorporation of Credit Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by express reference. All advances and indebtedness arising and accruing under the Credit Agreement from time to time, whether or not the resulting indebtedness secured hereby may exceed the face amount of the Notes, shall be secured hereby to the same extent as though said Credit Agreement were fully incorporated in this Mortgage, and the occurrence of any Default under said Credit Agreement shall constitute a Default under this Mortgage entitling Mortgagee to all of the rights and remedies conferred upon Mortgagee by the terms of both this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement. Mortgagor hereby agrees to comply with all covenants and fulfill all obligations set forth in the Credit Agreement which pertain to the Premises as if Mortgagor were a party to such documents. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement shall in each instance govern and control.

Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the terms hereof shall be controlling as necessary to create, preserve and/or maintain a valid security interest upon the Property, otherwise the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall be controlling.

Partial Invalidity; Maximum Allowable Rate of Interest. Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend and believe that each provision in this Mortgage and the Notes comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Mortgage or the Notes is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Mortgage and the Notes to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent both of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Mortgage and the Notes shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Mortgagor and Mortgagee under the remainder of this Mortgage and the Notes shall continue in full force and effect. All agreements herein and in the Notes are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance of the Notes, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of the Notes or any other agreement referred to herein, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall 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 unpaid principal balance due under the Notes and not to the payment of interest.

I-20

UCC Financing Statements. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file UCC financing statements to perfect Mortgagee’s security interest in any part of the Property. In addition, Mortgagor agrees to sign any and all other documents that Mortgagee deems necessary in its sole discretion to perfect, protect, and continue Mortgagee’s lien and security interest on the Property.

Declaration of Subordination. At the option of Mortgagee, this Mortgage shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any Condemnation Proceeds), to any and all Leases of all or any part of the Premises upon the execution by Mortgagee and recording thereof, at any time hereafter in the appropriate official records of the County wherein the Premises are situated, of a unilateral declaration to that effect.

Certain Matters Relating to Property Located in the State of [ ]. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the provisions contained in the Rider attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Rider”) are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms contained in this Mortgage and the terms contained in the Rider, the terms in the Rider shall prevail.
