No Project of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be deemed to be unencumbered unless such Project and all Capital Stock of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or any other intervening Wholly-Owned Subsidiary between the Borrower and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is unencumbered and neither such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary nor any other intervening Wholly-Owned Subsidiary between the Borrower and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary has any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness due to the Borrower).

“Unimproved Land” means land which constitutes a single tax parcel or separately platted lot and on which construction of an industrial building has not commenced.

“Value of Unencumbered Assets” means, as of any date, the sum of (a) the value of all Unencumbered Assets that are not Assets Under Development and Assets Acquired Not in Service (determined in the manner set forth below), plus (b) any unrestricted cash, including any cash on deposit with a qualified intermediary with respect to a deferred tax-free exchange, plus (c) an amount equal to 100% of the then-current book value, determined in accordance with GAAP, of each first mortgage receivable secured by an income producing commercial property, provided that such first mortgage receivable is not subject to any Lien, plus (d) 100% of the then current book value of each Asset Under Development and Assets Acquired Not in Service that constitutes an Unencumbered Asset plus (e) with respect to each Rollover Project, an amount equal to 50% of the then current book value, determined in accordance with GAAP, of each Rollover Project; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of Value of Unencumbered Assets from the items set forth in clauses (c), (d) and (e) exceed 20% of the total Value of Unencumbered Assets. Unencumbered Assets that are not Assets Under Development shall be valued by dividing the Property Operating Income for such Project for the most recent four fiscal quarters by the Applicable Cap Rate (provided that for the purpose of such calculation, the Property Operating Income of each Unencumbered Asset that was formerly a Rollover Project shall in no event be less than zero). If a Project has been acquired during such calculation period then the Borrower shall be entitled to include pro forma Property Operating Income from such property for the entire calculation period in the foregoing calculation, except for purposes of the financial covenant comparing the Property Operating Income from Unencumbered Assets during a quarter to Debt Service for such quarter. If a Project is no longer owned as of the date of calculation, then no value shall be included based on capitalizing Property Operating Income from such Project, except for purposes of such financial covenant comparing the Property Operating Income from Unencumbered Assets during a quarter to Debt Service for such quarter.

“Wells” means Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.

“Wholly-Owned Subsidiary” means a member of the Consolidated Operating Partnership 100% of the ownership interests in which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower and the General Partner in the aggregate.

The foregoing definitions shall be equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of the defined terms.

1.2. Financial Standards. All financial computations required of a Person under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and all financial information required under this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, except that if any Person’s financial statements are not audited, such Person’s financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with the same sound accounting principles utilized in connection with the financial information submitted to Lenders with respect to the Borrower or the General Partner or the Properties in connection with this Agreement and shall be certified by an authorized representative of such Person. Moreover, all financial computations required of a Person under this Agreement shall be calculated (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower, the General Partner or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any

other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. To the extent the Consolidated Operating Partnership has Defeased Debt, both the underlying debt and interest payable thereon and the financial assets used to defease such debt and interest earned thereon shall be excluded from calculations of the foregoing financial covenants.

1.3. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Borrowing”).

ARTICLE II.

THE FACILITY

2.1. The Facility.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the General Partner contained herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (x) such Lender’s Term Loan Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or (y) the Total Term Loan Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Term Loan Commitment. The Borrowings may be Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings or Eurocurrency Borrowings.

(b) The Facility created by this Agreement shall terminate on the Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the funding of such Lender’s Loan hereunder on the Closing Date and (ii) 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the Closing Date. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

2.2. Incremental Loans. The Borrower shall have the right to request one or more additional tranches of additional Loans (the “Incremental Loans”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such Incremental Loans shall not exceed One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000). Each such Incremental Loan must be an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of such Incremental Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of Incremental Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to provide an Incremental Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested Incremental Loan must be an Eligible Assignee. Effecting the Incremental Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (w) the Administrative Agent shall have consented thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such Incremental Loans, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct on the effective date of such Incremental Loans except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by a Qualified Officer of the Borrower of (A) all partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such Incremental Loans and (B) all corporate or other necessary action taken by Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such Incremental Loans; and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantor, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) if requested, new Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Notes, if requested by any applicable Lender, executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Lenders making Incremental Loans, in the amount of each such Lender’s Term Loan Exposure at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Loans. In connection with any Incremental Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2 any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Incremental Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the existing Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the existing Loans. Incremental Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each new Lender participating in such tranche (if any), each existing Lender participating in such tranche (if any) and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lenders (except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.3), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.2.

2.3. Principal Payments. Any outstanding Borrowings and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Maturity Date.

2.4. Requests for Borrowings; Responsibility for Borrowings. Borrowings shall be made available to the Borrower by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.7 hereof. The obligation of each Lender to fund its Percentage of each Borrowing shall be several and not joint.

2.5. Evidence of Credit Extensions. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). Each Lender may record Borrowings and principal payments thereof on the schedule attached to its Note or, at its option, in its records, and each Lender’s record thereof shall be conclusive absent the Borrower furnishing to such Lender conclusive and irrefutable evidence of an error made by such Lender with respect to that Lender’s records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to make, or an error in making, a notation with respect to any Borrowing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes to pay the amount actually owed by the Borrower to Lenders.

2.6. Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Percentages. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Subject to Section 4.3, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Adjusted Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

2.7. Requests for Borrowings.

(a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a “Borrowing Notice”) (A) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Time), three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (B) in the case of an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Time), one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Notice in substantially the form of Exhibit J in the case of any Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Notice shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.7: (i) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing; (ii) the Type of the requested Borrowing; (iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; (iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; and (vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.7. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Notice in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

The Borrower shall also deliver together with each Borrowing Notice the compliance certificate required in Section 5.2 and otherwise comply with the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 for Borrowings.

Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available at the Administrative Office. Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in the account specified by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement (or, with respect to disbursement of funds on the Closing Date, as otherwise directed by Borrower in writing to Administrative Agent).

(b) Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of a Borrowing Notice, determine the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to the requested Eurocurrency Borrowing and inform the Borrower and Lenders of the same. Each determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

(c) If the Borrower shall prepay a Eurocurrency Borrowing other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall be responsible to pay all amounts due to Lenders as required by Section 4.4 hereof. The Lenders shall not be obligated to match fund their Eurocurrency Borrowings.

(d) The right of the Borrower to select the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and the Adjusted Base Rate for a Borrowing pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the availability to Lenders, as applicable, of a similar option. If Administrative Agent determines that (i) deposits of Dollars in an amount approximately equal to the

Borrowing for which the Borrower wishes to select the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate are not generally available at such time in the London interbank eurodollar market, or (ii) the rate at which the deposits described in subsection (i) herein are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the costs to Lenders, as applicable, of maintaining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate on a Borrowing or of funding the same in such market for such Interest Period, or (iii) reasonable means do not exist for determining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate, or (iv) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Borrower may by law pay, then in any of such events, Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and Lenders and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Borrowing shall bear interest at the Substitute Rate.

2.8. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as set forth in Section 2.7 if no Interest Period is specified). Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not (i) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.6(d), (ii) elect to convert any Adjusted Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans that would result in the number of Eurocurrency Borrowings exceeding the maximum number of Eurocurrency Borrowings permitted under Section 2.6(c) or (iii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans unless the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans to which such Interest Period will apply complies with the requirements as to minimum principal amount set forth in Section 2.11.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section (an “Interest Election Request”), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.7 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (hereinafter referred to as a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”).

(c) Each telephonic and written Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.6 and paragraph (a) of this Section: (i) the Borrowing to which such Conversion/Continuation Notice applies; (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Conversion/Continuation Notice, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an

Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election. If any such Conversion/Continuation Notice requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to timely deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.8(b) prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with the same Interest Period as the Eurocurrency Borrowing being continued (unless such deemed election shall result in an Interest Period ending after the Maturity Date, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a one (1) month Interest Period which will not end after the Maturity Date; provided however that if less than 30 days remain until the Maturity Date, such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate). The Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender and the Borrower of the details of any such deemed continuation under this clause (e).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.8, no Borrowing may be converted into a Eurocurrency Borrowing or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

2.9. Applicable Margins.

(a) The Base Rate Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Applicable Margin to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to different Types of Borrowings, shall vary from time to time in accordance with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as follows:


Consolidated Leverage Ratio	LIBOR Applicable Margin			Base Rate Applicable Margin
Less than 40%		1.70	%		1.70	%
40% or greater but less than 45%		1.75	%		1.75	%
45% or greater but less than 50%		1.90	%		1.90	%
50% or greater but less than 55%		2.05	%		2.05	%
55% or greater		2.30	%		2.30	%

The LIBOR Applicable Margin and Base Rate Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time, based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as set forth in the compliance certificate most recently delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.2(iv). Any adjustment to the LIBOR Applicable Margin and Base Rate Applicable Margin shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month during which the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent the applicable compliance certificate pursuant to Section 8.2(iv). If the Borrower fails to deliver a compliance certificate in accordance with Section 8.2(iv), the LIBOR Applicable Margin and the Base Rate Applicable Margin shall equal the percentages corresponding to a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 55% or greater until the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month that the required compliance certificate is delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period from the Agreement Execution Date through but excluding the date on which the Administrative Agent first determines the LIBOR Applicable Margin and the Base Rate Applicable Margin as set forth above, the LIBOR Applicable Margin and the Base Rate Applicable Margin shall be determined based on a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of “40% or greater but less than 45%”. Thereafter, such LIBOR Applicable Margin and Base Rate Applicable Margin shall be adjusted from time to time as set forth in this definition. It is understood and agreed that each change in pricing level shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.

The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent as the result of fraud or intentional misstatement thereof, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

(b) In the event the Borrower obtains an Investment Grade Rating during the term of the Facility, at the election of the Borrower upon prior irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which election shall relate solely to this Agreement and shall have no effect on elections to be made with respect to the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, from and after such election the Base Rate Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Applicable Margin shall vary from time to time in accordance with the Investment Grade Rating as follows (such that the Applicable Margin shall change from time to time as and when the Investment Grade Rating changes, which changes shall be effective from the date that the notice is delivered):


Rating Level	LIBOR Applicable Margin			Base Rate Applicable Margin
A-/A3		1.40	%		1.40	%
BBB+/Baa1		1.45	%		1.45	%
BBB/Baa2		1.55	%		1.55	%
BBB-/Baa3		1.85	%		1.85	%
Below BBB- or Baa3 (“Level V”)		2.35	%		2.35	%

The Applicable Margin shall be determined by the higher of the two ratings from S&P or Moody’s. In the event that such two ratings are more than one rating level apart and both are Investment Grade Ratings, then the rating level one level above the lower of the two ratings shall apply. If only one Investment Grade Ratings has been issued, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the sole Investment Grade Rating then in effect. If Investment Grade Ratings shall have been assigned by both rating agencies and thereafter the Borrower does not have an Investment Grade Rating from either Rating Agency, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level V of the forgoing table in this Section 2.9(b).

2.10. Funds Transfer Disbursements. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement (or, with respect to disbursement of funds on the Closing Date, as otherwise directed by Borrower in writing to Administrative Agent).

2.11. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. Each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be in the minimum amount of $2,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), and each Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof).

2.12. Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 2.14, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest from time to time at a rate per annum equal to:

(i) the Adjusted Base Rate; or

(ii) at the election of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.8 with respect to all or portions of the Obligations, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

(b) All interest shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest accrued on each Borrowing shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month in arrears from time to time while such Borrowing is outstanding.

Interest shall not be payable for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received by Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (Central Time). If any payment of principal or interest on the Loans shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a payment of principal, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest due in connection with such payment; provided that for purposes of Section 10.1 hereof, any payments of principal described in this sentence shall be considered to be “due” on such next succeeding Business Day.

2.13. Method of Payment.

(a) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without set off, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent at the Administrative Office or at any other Lending Office of Administrative Agent specified in writing by Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by Administrative Agent among Lenders in the Facility. Each such payment shall be made in Dollars. Each payment delivered to Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that Administrative Agent received at its address specified herein or at any Lending Office specified in a notice received by Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments not made by Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day after receipt shall accrue interest at Federal Funds Effective Rate. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with Wells for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

(b) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.16 or 12.8, then the Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

2.14. Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of a Monetary Default or an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not have the right to request a Eurocurrency Borrowing, select a new Interest Period for an existing Eurocurrency Borrowing or convert any Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing to a Eurocurrency Borrowing. During the continuance of a Monetary Default or an Event of Default, at the election of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, outstanding Borrowings shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rates until such Monetary Default or Event of Default ceases to exist or the Obligations are paid in full.

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

2.16. Non Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, a Borrowing, 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, Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. 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 Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, promptly after demand by Administrative Agent, repay to 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 Administrative Agent until the date 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 (as determined by Administrative Agent) or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. If the Borrower and any Lender shall each pay any such amount made available by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount paid by the Borrower for such period. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law:

(i) subjects the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any applicable Lending Office to any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (other than (A) Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities, capital or liquidity attributable to making, converting, funding or maintaining its Borrowings or its Term Loan Commitment, or

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

(iii) imposes any other condition, and the result is to increase the cost of any Lender or any applicable Lending Office of making, funding or maintaining loans or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Office in connection with loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Office to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Borrowings and its Term Loan Commitment (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant).

4.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Office of such Lender or any corporate entity controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change in Law (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant), then, within fifteen (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 is attributable to this Agreement, its Borrowings or its obligation to make Borrowings hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). Without in any way affecting the Borrower’s obligation to pay compensation actually claimed by a Lender under this Section 4.2, the Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender which has demanded such compensation provided that the Borrower notifies such Lender that it has elected to replace such Lender and notifies such Lender and the Administrative Agent of the identity of the proposed replacement Lender not more than six (6) months after the date of such Lender’s most recent demand for compensation under this Section 4.2, and further provided that such replacement is otherwise in accordance with Section 4.7. The Lender being replaced shall assign its Term Loan Exposure and its rights and obligations under this Facility to the replacement Lender in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.3 hereof and the replacement Lender shall assume such Term Loan Exposure, all pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto. The purchase by the replacement Lender shall be at par (plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any other sums owed to such Lender being replaced hereunder) which shall be paid to the Lender being replaced upon the execution and delivery of the assignment. The Lender being replaced shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5 and 14.6 for events recurring prior to assignment to the replacement Lender.

4.3. Availability of Eurocurrency or Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. If any Lender determines that maintenance of any of its Eurocurrency Borrowings or Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings (sometimes collectively referred to as “LIBOR Borrowings”) at a suitable Lending Office would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall suspend by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof being delivered contemporaneously to Lenders) the availability of LIBOR Borrowings and require any LIBOR Borrowings to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Borrowings are not available, the Administrative Agent shall suspend by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof being delivered contemporaneously to Lenders) the availability of LIBOR Borrowings with respect to any LIBOR Borrowings made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a LIBOR Borrowing does not accurately reflect the cost of making a Eurocurrency Borrowing, and, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 4.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall suspend by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof being delivered contemporaneously to Lenders) the availability of LIBOR Borrowings with respect to any LIBOR Borrowings made after the date of any such determination. If this occurs, Borrowings shall, to the extent permissible under applicable law, bear interest at the Substitute Rate, rather than any Loans becoming payable.

4.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Borrowing 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 Borrowing is not made, continued or converted on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by one or more of the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by such Lender, as applicable, resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the LIBOR Borrowing.

4.5. Taxes.

(i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent 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, (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 4.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (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 4.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of its Term Loan Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement 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 therefor pursuant to Section 4.6.

(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 of this Agreement, (i) deliver to 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 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 each of 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 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 4.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv), above, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(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.

(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 4.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

(viii) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any Note would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.5(viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(ix) Each of the Lenders represents that as of the Agreement Execution Date it is not aware of any facts that would give rise to a claim for additional payments under this Section 4.5.

4.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Borrowings to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 or to avoid the unavailability of a LIBOR Borrowing, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 hereof. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. The amount due in such statement shall not include amounts due under Section 4.5 that are either attributable to facts known to the Lender as of the Agreement Execution Date or that relate to a time period more than ninety (90) days prior to the giving of such written statement. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Borrowing shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Borrowing through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to such Borrowing, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 hereof shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

4.7. 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 4.5, or (b) cannot maintain its LIBOR Borrowings at a suitable Lending Office pursuant to Section 4.6, with a replacement bank or other financial institution or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the remaining Lenders, (ii) no Event of Default or (after notice thereof to the Borrower) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase at par all Loans and the Borrower or the replacement bank or institution shall repay 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 4.4 and 4.6 if any LIBOR Borrowing 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 13.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein and the replaced Lender’s consent shall not be required), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall continue to pay all amounts payable hereunder without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or withholding 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.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

11.1. Acceleration. If any Event of Default described in Section 10.10 hereof occurs, or the Borrower or the General Partner becomes Insolvent, the Term Loan Commitments and obligation of the Lenders to make Borrowings hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

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 be indemnified to its 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.

12.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in accordance with their respective Percentages (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by the Borrower (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Gross Negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a

final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute Gross Negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any indemnifiable amount set forth in Section 12.8(i), (ii) or (ii) following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of any such indemnifiable amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon

succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

12.13. Notice of Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Event of Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.

12.14. Requests for Approval. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall, or, in the case of any request for consent or approval that is subject to Section 14.13(a) or (b), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period, but in no event less than five Business Days 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 provided that the request for approval states the time by which a response is needed before approval is deemed given. Solely with respect to any request for consent or approval that is subject to Section 14.13(c), if the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request. Upon request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders which Lenders, if any, failed to respond to a request for approval.

12.15. Copies of Documents. Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each of the Lenders copies of all notices of default and other formal notices sent or received and according to Section 15.1 of this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall deliver to Lenders within 15 Business Days following receipt, copies of all financial statements, certificates and notices received regarding the General Partner’s ratings except to the extent such items are required to be furnished directly to the Lenders by the Borrower hereunder. Within fifteen Business Days after a request by a Lender to the Administrative Agent for other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall provide copies of such documents to such Lender except where this Agreement obligates Administrative Agent to provide copies in a shorter period of time.

12.16. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then to the extent permitted by applicable law, the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

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

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11.1 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(b) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, [reserved]; third, [reserved]; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth,[reserved]; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) [reserved]

(e) [reserved]

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

12.17. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles XII and XIV.

12.18. Managing Agents, Syndication Agent, etc.. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “managing agent” nor the Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 12.11.

ARTICLE XIII.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participation must be made in compliance with Section 13.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 13.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with Section 13.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 13.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 13.1 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 this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority 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 this 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 13.3. 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 13.3; 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.

13.2. Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Term Loan 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 owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this 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.

13.2.2 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 Term Loan Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 14.13 or of any other Loan Document.

13.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 14.15(a) 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, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 14.15(a) with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 14.15(a), 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 14.15(b) as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 4.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 4.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

13.2.4 Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Term Loan Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Loan Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

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

13.3.1 Minimum Amounts.

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

(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Term Loan Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Term Loan Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

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

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Term Loan Commitment or a Loan if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender.

13.3.4 Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the Assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

13.3.5 No Assignment to Borrower or Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) any Defaulting Lender.

13.3.6 No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.8

and 14.6 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that survive the termination hereof and thereof with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.2.

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

13.5. [reserved].

13.6 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed Eligible Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Term Loan Commitment, Loan or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by applicable law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms

and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or the General Partner, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, the General Partner, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower relating to the Borrower, the General Partner or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, the General Partner, or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower, the General Partner, or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

13.7 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 4.5(ii).

ARTICLE XIV.

14.7. Severability of Provisions.

THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE LENDERS TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE BORROWER AGAINST THE LENDERS OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE LENDERS INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

14.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE GENERAL PARTNER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

14.12. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents. Any assignee or transferee of rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

14.13. Entire Agreement; Modification of Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the Borrower, the General Partner, Administrative Agent, and Lenders and supersede all prior conversations, agreements, understandings, commitments and term sheets among any or all of such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower, and Administrative Agent if the rights or duties of Administrative Agent are affected thereby, and

(a) each of the Lenders adversely affected thereby if such amendment or waiver:

(i) reduces or forgives any payment of principal or interest on the Obligations or any fees payable by the Borrower to such Lender hereunder; or

(ii) postpones the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Obligations or any fees payable by the Borrower to such Lender hereunder; or

(iii) reduces the percentage set forth in Section 8.10 or modifies or waives the second and third sentences of Section 9.3 hereof; or

14.14. Dealings with the Borrower. The Lenders and their affiliates may accept deposits from, extend credit to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower or the General Partner or any of their Affiliates regardless of the capacity of the Lenders hereunder.

14.15. Set-Off.

(a) Subject to Section 2.20 and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time, or from time to time while, an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Required Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.1, and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.
