From and after the Closing Date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(11)Cash Collateralization.

(i) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Class Lenders of the Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposure representing more than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the

Borrowers shall immediately deposit into an account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”)established by the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Borrowers as of such dateplus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described inSection 7.1(6). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as collateral in the first instance for the Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to the Borrowers under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the other Obligations of the Borrowers.

(ii) The Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent. Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds.

(iii) The Borrowers hereby pledge, assign and grant to the Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a lien on and a security interest in the following collateral (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”):

(A) the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

(B) all notes, certificates of deposit and other cash-equivalent instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent for or on behalf of the Borrowers in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;

(C) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; and

(D) to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.

The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

(iv) Neither the Borrowers nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrowers shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided inSection 2.3(11)(vii).

(v) The Borrowers agree that they will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by thisSection 2.3(11).

(vi) At any time an Event of Default shall be continuing:

(A) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to the Borrowers except as required by law and at any time from time to time, instruct the Administrative Agent to charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to first, the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Disbursements that have not been reimbursed by the Borrowers and second, any other unpaid Obligations then due and payable, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. The rights of the Administrative Agent under thisSection 2.3(11) are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Agent or any Lender may have.

(B) The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC.

(vii) At such time as all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing and there are no unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements outstanding, all amounts remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrowers. Any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the return of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be paid to the Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

2.4Funding of Borrowings.

(1)Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Contact Office, ABA 021-001-033 for the Administrative Agent’s Account No. 99-401-268, Ref: TE/TOUSA Senior LLC, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time). The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Base Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided inSection 2.3(6) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender.

(2)Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance withSection 2.4(1) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender

has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (it being intended that such interest payment shall be the only interest payment payable by the Borrowers with respect to any amount repaid by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this paragraph, except thatSection 2.18(5) shall apply if the Borrowers fail to make such repayment within three (3) days after the date of such payment as required hereunder). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

2.5Interest Elections.

(1)Elections by the Borrowers for Borrowings. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”). Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, any conversion or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall be subject to the provisions ofSections 2.2(a)(2)(iii) and(iv). The Borrowers 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. At any time, the Borrowers may have only eight (8) Interest Periods then in effect.

(2)Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such election (which notice may be by facsimile) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required underSection 2.4 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Rate Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by a Responsible Officer and shall be in the form ofExhibit D hereto.

(3)Information in Interest Election Requests. Each Rate Request shall specify the following information in compliance withSection 2.2:

(A) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant toclauses (C) and(D) of this section shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(B) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Rate Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(D) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBO Rate Loan, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Rate Request requests a LIBO Rate Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(4)Notice by the Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Rate Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(5)Failure to Elect; Potential Default and Events of Default. If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Rate Request with respect to a LIBO Rate Loan 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 converted to a Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the day occurring three Eurodollar Business Days prior to the date of, or on the date of, the requested funding, continuation or conversion, then, so long as a Potential Default or an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBO Rate Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBO Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.6Termination; Reduction and Extension of the Revolving Commitments; Maturity.

(1)Scheduled Termination; Initial Maturity Date. Unless previously terminated, or extended pursuant toSection 2.6(5) below, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate at 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Unless previously accelerated, or extended pursuant toSection 2.6(5) below, all Obligations with respect to the Loans shall be paid in full no later than 1:00 p.m., New York time on the Initial Maturity Date.

(2)Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance withSection 2.8, the total Revolving Exposures would exceed the Available Credit.

(3)Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments underSection 2.6(2) above at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be

irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(4)Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

(5) Extension of Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Initial Maturity Date.

(i) Provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option, to be exercised by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and the Initial Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to extend the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Initial Maturity Date by twelve (12) months to August 1, 2009 (the “Extension Period”). The request by the Borrowers for the extension of the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Initial Maturity Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers that no Potential Default or Event of Default then exists and that all of the conditions set forth inSection 2.6(5)(ii) below shall have been satisfied on the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and the Initial Maturity Date.

(ii) The obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to extend the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Initial Maturity Date as provided inSection 2.6(5)(i) shall be subject to the prior satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent as determined by the Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment:

(A) on the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Initial Maturity Date there shall exist no Potential Default or Event of Default;

(B) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Aggregate Commitments (which fee Borrowers hereby agree shall be fully earned and nonrefundable under any circumstances when paid);

(C) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Initial Maturity Date, unless such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case, they shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided, however, that any factual matters disclosed in the Schedules referenced inArticle 4 shall be subject to update in accordance with clause (D) below);

(D) the Borrower Parties shall have delivered updates to the Administrative Agent of all the Schedules set forth inArticle 4 hereof and such updated Schedules shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment;

(G) the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of Total Funded Debt to Total Book Capitalization, shall be 60% or less;

(H) the initial maturity date of the Mezzanine Loans shall have been extended for one year such that the maturity date thereof does not occur before August 1, 2010; and

(I) the Borrower Parties shall have acknowledged and ratified that their obligations under the applicable Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, and continue to guaranty the Obligations under the Loan Documents, as extended.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders in the event that the Borrowers request that the Original Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Initial Maturity Date be extended as provided in thisSection 2.6(5).

2.7Manner of Payment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(1)Repayment. Subject to any earlier acceleration of the Loans following an Event of Default, the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date.

(2) Manner of Payment.

(i) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which notice may be by facsimile or electronic mail) of any repayment or prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of repayment or prepayment of a LIBO Rate Loan with an Interest Period not expiring on the date of payment, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) three Business Days before the date of repayment or prepayment, or (ii) in the case of repayment or prepayment of a LIBO Rate Loan with Interest Periods expiring on the date of repayment or prepayment or a Base Rate Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of repayment or prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the repayment or prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be repaid or prepaid; provided that, if a notice of repayment or prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated bySection 2.6,

then such notice of repayment or prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance withSection 2.6. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each repayment or prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid or prepaid Borrowing. Repayments and prepayments shall be accompanied by (A) accrued interest to the extent required bySection 2.9 and (B) any payments due pursuant toSection 2.8. If the Borrowers fail to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding Base Rate Loans and, second, to other Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first).

(ii) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or reimbursement of Letter of Credit Disbursements) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (unless otherwise specified in this Agreement), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim;provided that if a new Loan is to be made by any Lender on a date the Borrowers are to repay any principal of an outstanding Loan of such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of such new Loan to the payment of the principal to be repaid and only an amount equal to the difference between the principal to be borrowed and the principal to be repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the Administrative Agent as provided inSection 2.4 or paid by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph, as the case may be. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be wired to the Administrative Agent at the Contact Office, ABA 021-001-033 for the Administrative Agent’s Account No. 99-401-268, Ref: TE/TOUSA Senior LLC, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document, and except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant toSections 2.15, 2.17,2.18 and9.14 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars.

(3)Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(4)Maintenance of Loan Accounts by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to

each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(5)Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant toSections 2.7(3) and(4) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(6)Promissory Notes. Upon the request of a Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note evidencing such Lender’s Commitment.

2.8Repayment and Prepayment of Loans.

(1)Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrowers shall remit to the Administrative Agent as a mandatory prepayment for application against the outstanding principal balance of the Loan:

(i) Concurrently with the consummation of any Disposition of a Mortgaged Property, the sums required to be repaid, if any, in accordance withSection 6.4(5)(iii)below.

(iii) Beginning on the July 1, 2007 and on the first day of October, January, April and July thereafter, Borrowers shall make quarterly payments of $10 million each, which installments (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing) shall be applied against the outstanding principal amount under the Term Loans. Any voluntary prepayments of the Loan pursuant toSection 2.8(2) or payments pursuant toSection 2.8(1)(i)above, shall be credited against (and shall reducepro tanto)the Borrowers obligation to make quarterly principal installment payments as provided in this subsection (iii).

(iv) Concurrently with any prepayment of principal of the Mezzanine Loans., Borrowers shall prepay the principal amount of the Term Loans (or if the full amount of the Term Loans has been prepaid, the Revolving Loans) on a pro rata basis based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and the Mezzanine Loans.

(2)Optional Prepayments. Upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide telephonic notice of the receipt thereof to each of the Lenders), the Borrowers may voluntarily prepay principal amounts outstanding under the Loan in whole or in part (without any release of collateral securing the Loan except as provided inSection 6.4(5)(iii) hereof); provided, however, that voluntary prepayments shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Voluntary prepayments of principal pursuant to thisSection 2.8(2), shall be credited against Borrowers’ obligation to make prepayments pursuant toSection 2.8(1)(iii).

(3)Accrued Interest. The Borrowers shall pay in connection with any prepayment hereunder, whether voluntary or mandatory, all interest accrued but unpaid on that portion of the Loan to which such prepayment is applied, and all amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.8(1)(i) above, concurrently with payment of any principal amounts.

(4)Priority of Payments.

(i) Any voluntary prepayment of any Loan pursuant toSection 2.8(2) shall be applied as specified by Borrowers in the applicable notice of prepayment;provided however, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event Borrowers fail to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof; second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof; and third, to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof).

(ii) Any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant toSection 2.8(1) shall be applied as follows:

(A) first, to prepay Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and shall be further applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loans;

(B) second, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof and, if the prepayment is pursuant toSection 2.8(1)(iv), to permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment;

(C) third, to prepay the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective Revolving Commitments) to the full extent thereof and, if the prepayment is pursuant toSection 2.8(1)(iv), to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment;

(D) fourth, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment; and

(E) fifth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such cash collateralization.

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

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

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

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

(iv) The order of priority set forth inSection 2.8(4)(iii) and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (B) through (D) ofSection 2.8(4)(iii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrowers or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clause (A) ofSection 2.8(4)(iii) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

2.9Interest.

(1)Base Rate Loans. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Base Rate.

(2)LIBO Rate Loans. The Loans constituting each LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing.

(3)Payment of Interest.

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

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

(5)Default Interest. During such time as there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, all Obligations outstanding, shall, at the election of the Administrative Agent, bear interest at a per annum rate equal to two percent (2%) above the Applicable Base Rate in effect during the applicable calculation period (whether or not such Applicable Base Rate shall otherwise have been elected by Borrowers in accordance with this Agreement).

2.10Presumptions of Payment.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

2.11Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the Unused Line Fee underSection 2.19 shall be made for account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments underSection 2.6 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Revolving Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrowers shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrowers shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

2.12Inability to Determine Rates.

In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LDBO Rate for any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephonic notice of such determination to each Lender and to the Borrowers. If such notice is given: (1) no portion of the Loans may be funded as a LIBO Rate Loan, (2) any Base Rate Loan that was to have been converted to a LIBO Rate Loan shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be continued as a Base Rate Loan, and (3) any outstanding LIBO Rate Loan shall be converted, on

the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, to a Base Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall not have the right to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan or to continue a LIBO Rate Loan as such. The Administrative Agent shall withdraw such notice in the event that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer pertain and that adequate and reasonable means shall exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period requested by the Borrowers, and, following withdrawal of such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall have the right to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan and to continue any LIBO Rate Loan as such in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.13Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any Governmental Authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain LIBO Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement: (1) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be cancelled, and (2) LIBO Rate Loans held by such Lender then outstanding, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective Interest Periods or within such earlier period as may be required by law. In the event of a conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan prior to the end of its applicable Interest Period, the Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay any Lender affected thereby, upon demand, the amounts required pursuant toSection 2.17below, it being agreed and understood that such conversion shall constitute a prepayment for all purposes of thisSection 2.13. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other Obligations.

2.14Funding.

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

2.15 Increased Costs.

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

(i) Does or shall subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan, or change the basis of determining the Taxes imposed on payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of principal,

fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuing Lender);

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

(iii) Does or shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Commitment, its Revolving Exposure, its Term Loans (as applicable) or to increase the cost of such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Issuing Lender, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall, without duplication of amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.18, promptly pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon its written demand made through the Administrative Agent, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender with respect to this Agreement or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s Revolving Commitment, its Revolving Exposure, Term Loan, or Letter of Credit obligations, so long as such Lender or Issuing Lender requires substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender or Issuing Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender.

(2) If a Lender or the Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 2.15, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate specifying the reason for any additional amounts so claimed payable containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by a Lender or the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers, accompanied by a certification that such Lender or Issuing Lender has required substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender or Issuing Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender, shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof.

(3) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation. The provisions of thisSection 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other Obligations.

2.16Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Defaulting Lenders; Replacement of Lenders.

(1) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the officer of any Lender responsible for administering such Lender’s Commitment or Term Loan becomes aware of any

event or condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments underSection 2.15 above orSection 2.18 below or to cease maintaining LIBO Rate Loans underSection 2.13 above, such Lender will use reasonable efforts: (i) to maintain its Revolving Commitment, Revolving Exposure, and Term Loans (as applicable) through another lending office of such Lender or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant toSection 2.15 above or pursuant toSection 2.18 below would be materially reduced or eliminated or the conditions rendering such Lender incapable of maintaining LIBO Rate Loans underSection 2.5 above no longer would be applicable, and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the maintaining of such LIBO Rate Loans through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such LIBO Rate Loans or the interests of such Lender.

(2) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Revolving Loan or its portion of any unreimbursed payment underSection 2.3(2)(iv) or2.3(5) (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Funding Default with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Borrowers so direct at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Borrowers so direct at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Borrowers shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b); (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender’s percentage share of the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Revolving Commitment fee pursuant toSection 2.19 payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment fee pursuant toSection 2.19 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in thisSection 2.16, performance by Borrowers of their obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of thisSection 2.16.The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under thisSection 2.16 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Lender with

respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

(3) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrowers that such Lender is adversely affected underSection 2.13 (other than in circumstances where events subject to such Section generally affect Lenders) or is entitled to receive payments underSection 2.15 or2.18 (other than in circumstances where events subject to such Sections generally entitle Lenders to payment), (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be so adversely affected or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrowers’ request for such withdrawal; or (b) any Lender shall become and then be a Defaulting Lender; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which requires unanimous approval as contemplated bySection 9.2, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default is then continuing, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Borrowers may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions ofSection 9.8 and Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment;provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant toSection 2.19; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrowers shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant toSection 2.15 and2.18; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender;provided, Borrowers may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Lender unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Borrowers shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof;provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

2.17Funding Indemnification.

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest

Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable underSection 2.5 and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant toSection 2.5, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Reserve Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period,over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

2.18Taxes.

(1) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under thisSection 2.18) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(3) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under thisSection 2.18) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest (except to the extent such penalties and/or interest arise as a result of a Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s delay in dealing with any such Indemnified Tax) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental

Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender, the Issuing Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(5) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers (with copies to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date hereof (or in the case of a Foreign Lender who became a Lender by way of an assignment, on or before the date of the assignment) or at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date for any payment herewith to such Lender, and from time to time as required for renewal under applicable law, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-ECI, as appropriate, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to such Lender hereunder are not subject to withholding under the Code (“Evidence of No Withholding”). Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in its applicable lending office and upon written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall, prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document, deliver Evidence of No Withholding to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall be entitled to rely on such forms in their possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to thisSection 2.18(5). If a Lender fails to provide Evidence of No Withholding as required pursuant to thisSection 2.18(5), then (i) the Borrowers (or the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from payments to Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure, as required by law, and (ii) the Borrowers shall not be required to make payments of additional amounts with respect to such withheld Taxes pursuant toSection 2.18(1) to the extent such withholding is required solely by reason of the failure of such Lender to provide the necessary Evidence of No Withholding.

2.19Fees.

(1)Unused Line Fee. Until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement terminated, the Borrowers agree to pay, on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, an unused line fee equal to the Applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage per annum on the average daily amount by which, during the immediately preceding calendar quarter or shorter period if calculated on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Total Revolving Commitments during such period exceeded the sum of (i) the average daily outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans and (ii) the undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. The unused line fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(2)Letter of Credit Fees and Costs.

(i) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender (based on their respective Applicable Percentage) in Dollars, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower (the“Letter of Credit Fee”), in each case for the period from and including the date of issuance of the respective Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the applicable “LIBO Spread” as listed in the definition of “applicable LIBO rate” on the daily face amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each August, November, February and May, commencing with the first such day occurring after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) The Borrowers agree to pay the Issuing Lender, for its own account, in Dollars, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower by such Issuing Lender (the “Facing Fee”), for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum of the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that in no event shall the annual Facing Fee with respect to any Letter of Credit be less than $250. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each August, November, February and May commencing with the first such day occurring after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(3)Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between TOUSA and the Administrative Agent in that certain Fee Letter dated as of August 1, 2005.

Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

2.20Joint Borrower Provisions.

(1) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes the other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take actions under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in

relying, upon any communication from or to any of the Borrowers (including, without limitation, any notice, consent or other instructions from any of the Borrowers) without any confirming communication from or to the other Borrower; provided, however, that upon notice to any Borrower (which notice shall be given at the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to fail or refuse to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (to the extent such action requires communication, including, without limitation, any notice, consent, or other instructions, from any of the Borrowers), unless the Administrative Agent has received confirming communications from all Borrowers. Any action taken by one Borrower under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be conclusively binding upon the other Borrowers.

(2) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the payment of all Obligations and that such liability is independent of the liability and obligation of the other Borrower with respect thereto, whether such Obligations are due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated or whether such Obligations otherwise become unenforceable against the other Borrowers. Any payment by a Borrower of an Obligation shall not reduce its liability and obligation with respect to all other Obligations hereunder. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one of the Borrowers whether action is brought against the other Borrower or whether the other Borrower is joined in such action or actions. Each Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability and obligations hereunder, from time to time, to (i) receive and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell or otherwise dispose of any such security, (ii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its discretion may determine, and (iii) release or substitute any one or more of endorser, guarantor or co-obligors of the Obligations.

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

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

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

2.21Credit Support

(1)Guaranties. As credit support for the Obligations, on or before the Closing Date, the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Guaranties.

(2)Pledge Agreement. As credit support for the Obligations, on or before the Closing Date, the Pledger shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Pledge Agreement.

(3)Borrowers Security Documents. As collateral security for the Obligations, on or before the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, each Security Instrument.

2.22Facility Increase.

At any time after August 1, 2006, the Borrowers may request, in writing, one-time increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments by up to the sum of $100,000,000 (the “Facility Increase”) in accordance with the terms of thisSection 2.22.

(1) Such request shall be subject to the voluntary participation of Lenders or Eligible Assignees in such Facility Increase as otherwise provided herein and the satisfaction of the each of the following conditions:

(i) The Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent at least 30 days prior written notice of its intention to effect a Facility Increase and the desired amount of such Facility Increase;

(iii) No Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;

(iv) Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent such endorsements to the Title Policy as Administrative Agent may request increasing the insured amount of such Title Policy to include the Facility Increase;

(v) The Borrower Parties shall have acknowledged and ratified that their obligations under the applicable Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, and continue to guaranty the Obligations under the Loan Documents, as Modified by the Facility Increase;

(vi) The Borrowers shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and all reasonable fees and expenses paid to third party consultants (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) by Administrative Agent in connection with the Facility Increase;

(vii) The Borrowers shall have paid all additional mortgage and intangible taxes associated with the Facility Increase; and

(viii) The conditions precedent to a Borrowing set forth inSection 3.3 are satisfied as of such date.

(2) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to offer such increase to (x) the existing Lenders, and each existing Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to commit to all or a portion of the proposed increase or (y) other Eligible Assignees acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender in its respective sole and absolute discretion;provided, however, that the minimum Revolving Credit Commitment of each such new Eligible Assignee accepting a Revolving Credit Commitment as part of such Facility Increase equals or exceeds $5,000,000, and such Lender or Eligible Assignee executes an Assumption Agreement (each an “Assumption Agreement”) pursuant to which such Lender agrees to commit to all or a portion of such Facility Increase and, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. On the effective date provided for in the Assumption Agreement providing for a Facility Increase (each a “Facility Increase Effective Date”), the Revolving Commitments will be increased by the amount committed to by each Lender or Eligible Assignee on the Facility Increase Effective Date. In the event there are Lenders and Eligible Assignees that have committed to a Facility Increase in excess of the maximum amount requested (or permitted), then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to allocate such commitments, first to Lenders and then to Eligible Assignees, on whatever basis the Administrative Agent determines is appropriate.

(3) Up to 25% of the Facility Increase (not to exceed $25 million) may be allocated by Borrowers as an additional Letter of Credit Sublimit (the “Additional Letter of Credit Facility”) subject to the following conditions: (i) each of the Lenders or Eligible Assignees participating in the Facility Increase will have agreed to be subject to the same rights and obligations with respect to the Additional Letter of Credit Facility as the Revolving Lenders have pursuant toSection 2.3; (ii) unless it determines not to do so (in which event, another

Lender shall have agreed to do so), DBTCA shall serve as the Issuing Lender in respect of the Additional Letter of Credit Facility on the same terms as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; and (iii) Borrowers shall have executed such additional documentation as Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender may reasonably request to evidence the terms and conditions of the Additional Letter of Credit Facility.

(5)Manner of Restoration and Reimbursement. If the Borrowers are entitled pursuant toSections 5.5(3) or(4) above to reimbursement out of Proceeds (and the conditions specified therein shall have been satisfied), such Proceeds shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary renovation and restoration standards.

Borrowers may settle and compromise the Proceeds of any Condemnation where the loss exceeds $5,000,000 (a “Material Condemnation”) only with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Each Subordinated Creditor agrees to make no claim for, or receive payment with respect to, such Subordinated Indebtedness until all Obligations and such obligations have been fully discharged in cash.

(2) All amounts and other assets that may from time to time be paid or distributed to or otherwise received by any Subordinated Creditor in respect of Subordinated Indebtedness in violation of thisSection 5.15 shall be segregated and held in trust by the Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of the Lenders and promptly paid over to the Administrative Agent.

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

Subordinated Creditor. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

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

(5) Each of the Subordinated Creditors hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time in their discretion renew or extend the time of payment of the Obligations or exercise, fail to exercise, waive or Modify any other of their rights under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any instrument evidencing or securing or delivered in connection therewith, and in reference thereto may make and enter into such agreements as to them may seem proper or desirable, all without notice to or further assent from the Subordinated Creditors (except as otherwise expressly required pursuant to this Agreement), and any such action shall not in any manner impair or affect the subordination set forth in thisSection 5.15 or any of the Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder. The Subordinated Creditors each hereby waive and agree not to assert against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders any rights which a guarantor or surety could exercise with respect to any indebtedness of any Transaction Party, but nothing in thisSection 5.15 shall constitute the Subordinated Creditors as a guarantor or surety.

Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiary Entities to, establish and maintain cash management systems reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. At no time shall more than $500,000 be held in any Deposit Account or other account of Borrowers or any of their Subsidiary Entities in which Administrative Agent does not have a perfected first-priority Lien pursuant to a Blocked Deposit Account Agreement.

5.17Further Assurances.

(1) The Borrower Parties shall, and shall cause each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiary Entities to, promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, do any acts or, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register, any and all such further deeds, conveyances, security agreements, mortgages, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements and continuations thereof, termination statements, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may reasonably require from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) to assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to the Administrative Agent and Lenders the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Lenders under any Loan Document or under any other document executed in connection therewith.

(1) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any Lender may at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an “Assignee”) all or any part of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan and the other Obligations held by such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, which minimum amount may be an aggregated amount in the event of simultaneous assignments to or by two or more funds under common management (or if such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan is less than $1,000,000, one hundred percent (100%) thereof); provided, however, that the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (iii) the assignment shall have been recorded in the Register, and (iv) the Assignee has paid to the Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.

(2) The Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the

108

recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. From and after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender and the Borrowers that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, and the assignment has been recorded in the Register: (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (but shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to the assignment) and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Pro Rata Shares resulting therefrom.

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

(4) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrowers (a “Participant”) participating interests in the Loan and the other interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit ofSections 2.13,2.15, and2.18 (and subject to the burdens ofSections 2.15,2.16 and9.8 above) as though it were also a Lender thereunder, and if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, andSection 9.10 of this Agreement shall apply to such Participant as if it were a Lender party hereto.

(5) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan held by it to any Federal Reserve Lender or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve

109

System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Lender, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Pro Rata Share of the Loan made by the Borrowers to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Pro Rata Share of the Loan to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may create a security interest in all or any portion of the sums owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided, that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of thisSection 9.8, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(6) Subject toSection 9.8(1) above, the Lead Arranger may syndicate the Loan and the other Obligations held by the Lenders hereunder before or after the Closing Date, and the Lead Arranger (or its designated Affiliates) shall manage all aspects of such syndication, including the number and identity of the potential Lenders participating in the syndication and the Loan amounts and compensation offered in connection therewith. Each Borrower Party agrees to take all actions as the Lead Arranger (or its designated Affiliates) may reasonably request to assist in the syndication, including: (i) making its senior management and representatives available to participate in informational meetings with potential Lenders at such times and places as the Lead Arranger (or its designated Affiliates) may reasonably request;

(ii) using its reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from such Borrower Party’s lending relationships; and (iii) providing the Lead Arranger (or its designated Affiliates) with all information reasonably deemed necessary to successfully complete the syndication.

(7) Until the date the Lead Arranger notifies the Borrowers that the syndication of the Loan has been completed, the Borrower Parties shall not, and shall not permit the Borrowers and their Subsidiary Entities to engage any Person to effect any offering, placement or arrangement of debt securities or any bank financing by or on behalf of any Transaction Party.

9.9Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement.

9.10Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of the Obligations in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably as aforesaid with each of them; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower Parties to

110

exercise any and all rights of setoff, counterclaim or bankers’ lien against the full amount of the Obligations, whether or not held by such Lender. Each Lender hereby agrees to exercise any such rights first against the Obligations and only then to any other Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender.

9.11Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by any of the Borrower Parties or by the Administrative Agent on the Borrower Parties’ behalf, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such information: (1) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lender or any prospective Lender, or (2) was or becomes available from a source other than the Borrower Parties not known to the Lenders to be in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower Parties in the disclosure of such information. Nothing contained herein shall restrict any Lender from disclosing such information (i) pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority; (ii) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (vi) to such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors; and (vii) to any Participant or Assignee and to any prospective Participant or Assignee, provided that each Participant and Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee first agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.11.

9.12Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.

EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF SUCH PARTIES FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

9.14Indemnity. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Borrower Parties shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loan and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any insolvency proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Borrower Parties shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) (1) of the Administrative Agent incident to the preparation, negotiation and administration and performance of the Loan Documents, including any proposed Modifications or waivers with respect thereto, the due diligence review undertaken in connection therewith, and the syndication of the Loan (but such expenses shall not include any fees paid to the syndicate members), and the preservation and protection of the rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (including expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and (2) of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders incident to the enforcement of payment of the Obligations, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, including, without limitation, in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceedings involving any

9.15Telephonic Instruction. Any agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to reasonably rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Borrowers to give such notice and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrowers or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic notice. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic notice.

9.16Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any of the Borrower Parties or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any of the Borrower Parties makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders enforce their Liens or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any insolvency proceeding, or otherwise, then (1) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred, and (2) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

9.17Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower Parties, any such notice being waived by the Borrower Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply in favor of the Lenders any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower Parties against any and all Obligations owing to the Lenders, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to (i) notify the Borrower Parties and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (ii) pay such amounts that are set-off to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

113

9.18Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder or thereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof.

9.19No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

9.20Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

9.21Reinstatement. This Agreement and the security interests created herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Borrowers’ Obligations hereunder, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to bankruptcy, insolvency or other applicable laws, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, such Obligations and the security interests created herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (except to the extent the related collateral has been sold to a bona fide purchaser for value) and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

FORM OF
GUARANTY

THIS UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is dated as of August 1, 2005, and made by [ ], a [ ] (“Guarantor”), in favor of DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders described below (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be Modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) by and among EH/TRANSEASTERN, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and TE/TOUSA SENIOR, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (together, jointly and severally, the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Administrative Agent, the Lenders have agreed to make a loan to Borrowers in an initial principal amount of $450,000,000 (the “Loan”), consisting of $335,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, and up to $115,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments.

B. It is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by the Lenders that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent.

C. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE,to induce the Lenders to extend the Loan to Borrowers, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

1. Guarantee of Obligations. Guarantor does hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantee to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by Borrowers of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or otherwise enforceable) on the Loan, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, and (ii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or otherwise enforceable), of Borrowers to the Lenders and the

Administrative Agent under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of Borrowers under or pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) being collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be Modified, waived, accelerated or compromised from time to time, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any Modification, waiver, acceleration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

2. Nature of Guaranty. This is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any of the security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in favor of Borrowers or any other person. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor. It is the intent of Guarantor that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally satisfied, such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence which might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor.

3. Rights Independent. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrowers or the obligations of any other Person, including any other Person executing a guaranty of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations (such Person, an “Other Guarantor”) or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Administrative Agent may proceed in the enforcement hereof independently of any other right or remedy that the Administrative Agent may at any time hold with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or other guarantee therefor. The Administrative Agent may file a separate action or actions against Guarantor hereunder, whether action is brought and prosecuted with respect to any security or against Borrowers or any Other Guarantor or any other Person, or whether Borrowers or any Other Guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Borrowers or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. Guarantor further agrees to the extent (i) Borrowers or Guarantor make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations and all or any part of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by the trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, or (ii) in the event following the payment in full of the principal amount of the Loan, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is subject to further liability, loss, or expense covered by the indemnification obligations set forth in the Loan Documents (the payments and obligations

referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereafter referred to, collectively, as“Preferential Payments”), then this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, and, to the extent of such payment or repayment by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied by such Preferential Payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said Preferential Payment had not been made.

4. Authority to Modify the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender, without notice to or demand on Guarantor and without affecting its liability hereunder or the enforceability hereof, from time to time to: (a) Modify, waive, accelerate or compromise the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease the rates of interest thereon; (b) Modify, waive, accelerate, compromise, or enter into or give any agreement, approval, or consent with respect to, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any security or additional guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation, or term thereof or thereunder; (c) accept new or additional instruments, documents, or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (d) accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or this Guaranty; (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, and enforce the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or any other guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion may determine; (g) release Borrowers or any other Person or any Other Guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (h) settle, release on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or by operation of law or otherwise, compound, compromise, collect, or otherwise liquidate or enforce any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security or other guarantee in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security, and bid and purchase at any sale; and (i) consent to the merger or any other change, restructure, or termination of the corporate existence of Borrowers or any other Person and correspondingly restructure the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructure, or termination shall not affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder or the enforceability hereof with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations.

5. Waiver of Defenses.

(a) Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender, prior to or as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty, to: (i) proceed against Borrowers or any other Person or any Other Guarantor; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or to marshal assets in connection with foreclosing collateral security; (iii) give notice of the terms, time, and place of any public or private sale of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s power whatsoever.

(b) Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of Borrowers or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of the Guaranteed Obligations, any of the Loan Documents or

any security or any other guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations, or the lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrowers or any other Person or any Other Guarantor (other than by reason of the full payment and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations); (iv) any act or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrowers or any other Person or the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or other guarantee therefor by operation of law or otherwise; (v) the taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of the payment or performance of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including any negligent impairment but excluding any gross negligent or willful impairment) of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of any collateral, property or security (but excluding any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender); (viii) the fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any security interest in such collateral; (ix) any payment by Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is held to constitute a preference under the Bankruptcy Code or any another federal, state or local laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or for any reason the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amounts to Borrowers or any other Person legally entitled thereto; and (x) any and all other suretyship or guarantor defenses that may be available to Guarantor.

(c) Guarantor waives: (i) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and all other notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments, claims or counterclaims; and (iii) any right to revoke or terminate this Guaranty.

6. Subordination.

(a) Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that the principal of, or interest on, all now existing and hereafter arising Indebtedness of Borrowers to Guarantor (the “Claims”) and all rights and remedies of Guarantor with respect thereto and any lien securing payment thereof are and shall continue to be subject, subordinate and rendered junior in the right of payment to all amounts due and payable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, as the same may be Modified, waived, accelerated or compromised from time to time.

(b) Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that Guarantor is or will be the sole and absolute owner of the Claims and has not sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of any right it may have to repayment of the Claims or any security therefor. Guarantor hereby further covenants and agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Potential Default or Event of Default, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and performed in full: (i) Guarantor will not receive, directly or indirectly, any payment, advance, credit or further security of any kind whatsoever on account of the Claims; (ii) Guarantor will not sell, assign, transfer or endorse the Claims or any part or evidence thereof; (iii) Guarantor will not Modify the Claims or any part or evidence thereof; and (iv) Guarantor will not take, or permit any action to be taken, to assert, collect or enforce the Claims or any part thereof.

(c) Upon any distribution of all of the assets of any Borrower to its creditors upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement, or reorganization of any Borrower, whether in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or receivership proceeding or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Borrower or otherwise, any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities) which is payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claims shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall be paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders to be applied against the payment or prepayment of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence is commenced by or against any Borrower: (i) the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Claims or enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Claims) as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Administrative Agent hereunder; and (ii) Guarantor shall duly and promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (A) to collect the Claims for account of the Administrative Agent and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Claims, (B) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as it may reasonably request in order to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Claims, and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claims.

(d) All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Claims which are received by Guarantor contrary to the provisions of this Guaranty shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7. Deferral of Subrogation. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full, (i) Guarantor shall not exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution or reimbursement against any Borrower or any Other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (ii) Guarantor shall not exercise any right to enforce any right, power or remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may in the future have against Borrowers or any Other Guarantor and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security for this Guaranty or for the obligations of Borrowers or any Other Guarantor now or in the future held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If Guarantor nevertheless receives payment of any amount on account of any such subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights or otherwise in respect of any payment by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations prior to payment and performance in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and immediately paid to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may determine.

With respect to any of Guaranteed Obligations, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender need inquire into the powers of Borrowers or the officers or employees acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and all Guaranteed Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereby.

B. It is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by the Lenders that Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent.

C. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT

1. Guarantee of Obligations. Guarantors do hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantee to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in this Section being collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”):

(a) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or Lenders and arising out of or in connection with the matters listed below:

(i) fraud or material misrepresentation by any Transaction Party in connection with the Loan Documents;

(ii) the misappropriation by any Transaction Party or any Affiliate thereof of any Rents or Distributions in violation of Section 6.8;

(iii) any failure of the Borrower Parties to perform their obligations to properly account to Administrative Agent for any proceeds of insurance or awards or condemnation as required by the Loan Documents, to properly apply same in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, or for the misapplication or misappropriation by the Borrower Parties of condemnation or insurance proceeds;

(iv) any act by a Transaction Party or any Affiliate thereof constituting intentional misconduct or waste of the Mortgaged Property;

(v) the Borrower Parties’ failure to observe the covenants set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.4 of the Credit Agreement;

(iii) any of the actions described in subsections (a) or (b) is commenced or filing is made as to which a Transaction Party is the debtor therein by any Affiliate of any Transaction Parties or through collusion with any third party.

Guarantors further agree that the Guaranteed Obligations may be Modified, waived, accelerated or compromised from time to time, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from them, and that they will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any Modification, waiver, acceleration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

2. Nature of Guaranty. This is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. Guarantors waive any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any of the security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in favor of Borrowers or any other person. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantors and shall continue to be

effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantors. It is the intent of Guarantors that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally satisfied, such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence which might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantors.

3. Rights Independent. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrowers or the obligations of any other Person, including any other Person executing a guaranty of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations (such Person, an “Other Guarantor”) or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Administrative Agent may proceed in the enforcement hereof independently of any other right or remedy that the Administrative Agent may at any time hold with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or other guarantee therefor. The Administrative Agent may file a separate action or actions against Guarantors hereunder, whether action is brought and prosecuted with respect to any security or against Borrowers or any Other Guarantor or any other Person, or whether Borrowers or any Other Guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantors waive the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting their liability hereunder or the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations. The liability of Guarantors hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Borrowers or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. Guarantors further agree to the extent (i) Borrowers or Guarantors make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations and all or any part of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by the trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, or (ii) in the event following the payment in full of the principal amount of the Loan, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is subject to further liability, loss, or expense covered by the indemnification obligations set forth in the Loan Documents (the payments and obligations referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereafter referred to, collectively, as “Preferential Payments”), then this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, and, to the extent of such payment or repayment by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied by such Preferential Payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said Preferential Payment had not been made.

4. Authority to Modify the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender, without notice to or demand on Guarantors and without affecting its liability hereunder or the enforceability hereof, from time to time to: (a) Modify, waive, accelerate or compromise the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease the rates of interest thereon; (b) Modify, waive, accelerate, compromise, or enter into or give any agreement, approval, or consent with respect to, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any security or additional guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy,

right, representation, or term thereof or thereunder; (c) accept new or additional instruments, documents, or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (d) accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or this Guaranty; (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, and enforce the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or any other guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion may determine; (g) release Borrowers or any other Person or any Other Guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (h) settle, release on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or by operation of law or otherwise, compound, compromise, collect, or otherwise liquidate or enforce any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security or other guarantee in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security, and bid and purchase at any sale; and (i) consent to the merger or any other change, restructure, or termination of the corporate existence of Borrowers or any other Person and correspondingly restructure the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructure, or termination shall not affect the liability of Guarantors hereunder or the enforceability hereof with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations.

5. Waiver of Defenses.

(a) Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender, prior to or as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty, to: (i) proceed against Borrowers or any other Person or any Other Guarantor; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or to marshal assets in connection with foreclosing collateral security; (iii) give notice of the terms, time, and place of any public or private sale of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s power whatsoever.

(b) Each Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of Borrowers or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of the Guaranteed Obligations, any of the Loan Documents or any security or any other guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations, or the lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrowers or any other Person or any Other Guarantor (other than by reason of the full payment and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations); (iv) any act or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrowers or any other Person or the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or other guarantee therefor by operation of law or otherwise; (v) the taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of the payment or performance of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including any negligent impairment but excluding any gross negligent or willful impairment) of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other

handling or treatment of all or any part of any collateral, property or security (but excluding any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender); (viii) the fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantors that Guarantors are not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any security interest in such collateral; (ix) any payment by Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is held to constitute a preference under the Bankruptcy Code or any another federal, state or local laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or for any reason the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amounts to Borrowers or any other Person legally entitled thereto; and (x) any and all other suretyship or defenses that may be available to Guarantors.

(c) Each Guarantor waives: (i) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and all other notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments, claims or counterclaims; and (iii) any right to revoke or terminate this Guaranty.

6. Subordination.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that the principal of, or interest on, all now existing and hereafter arising Indebtedness of Borrowers to Guarantors (the “Claims”) and all rights and remedies of Guarantors with respect thereto and any lien securing payment thereof are and shall continue to be subject, subordinate and rendered junior in the right of payment to all amounts due and payable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, as the same may be Modified, waived, accelerated or compromised from time to time.

(b) Guarantors represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent that Guarantors are or will be the sole and absolute owners of the Claims and have not sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of any right they may have to repayment of the Claims or any security therefor. Guarantors hereby further covenant and agree that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Potential Default or Event of Default, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and performed in full: (i) Guarantors will not receive, directly or indirectly, any payment, advance, credit or further security of any kind whatsoever on account of the Claims; (ii) Guarantors will not sell, assign, transfer or endorse the Claims or any part or evidence thereof; (iii) Guarantors will not Modify the Claims or any part or evidence thereof; and (iv) Guarantors will not take, or permit any action to be taken, to assert, collect or enforce the Claims or any part thereof.

or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Borrower or otherwise, any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities) which is payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claims shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall be paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders to be applied against the payment or prepayment of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence is commenced by or against any Borrower: (i) the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of Guarantors or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Claims or enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Claims) as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Administrative Agent hereunder; and (ii) Guarantors shall duly and promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (A) to collect the Claims for account of the Administrative Agent and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Claims, (B) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as it may reasonably request in order to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Claims, and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claims.

(d) All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Claims which are received by Guarantors contrary to the provisions of this Guaranty shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by Guarantors and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

If Guarantors nevertheless receive payment of any amount on account of any such subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights or otherwise in respect of any payment by Guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations prior to payment and performance in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and immediately paid to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may determine.

2.1 As security for the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the Obligations (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, including without limitation the payment of amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)), whether allowed or allowable as claims, Pledgor hereby (a) pledges, transfers, hypothecates and assigns to Administrative Agent the Collateral, for the purposes herein expressed, and (b) grants to Administrative Agent a continuing general first-priority lien on and security interest in and to the Collateral. Pledgor shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent all certificates or instruments evidencing the Pledged Interests, together with duly executed stock powers or other appropriate endorsements. With respect to any Collateral in the possession of or registered in the name of a custodian bank or nominee therefor, or any Collateral represented by entries on the books of any financial intermediary, Pledgor agrees to cause such custodian bank or nominee to enter into an agreement with Administrative Agent reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent in form and content confirming that the Collateral is held for the account of Administrative Agent. With respect to any Collateral held in an account maintained by Administrative Agent as financial intermediary, Pledgor hereby gives notice to Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Collateral. In addition, Pledgor agrees that in the event that any Collateral is held by Administrative Agent in a fiduciary capacity for or on behalf of Pledgor as the beneficial owner thereof, any agreements executed by Pledgor in connection therewith are hereby amended to authorize and direct the pledge, hypothecation and/or transfer of such Collateral to Administrative Agent as secured party by Administrative Agent as fiduciary in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Pledge Agreement. The rights granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Pledge Agreement are in addition to the rights granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to any such

agreements. In case of conflict between the provisions of this Pledge Agreement and those of any other such agreement, the provisions hereof shall prevail.

2.2 The Collateral shall be held and disposed of by Administrative Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Administrative Agent shall retain a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in the Collateral until the date on which each and every one of the Obligations has been fully and indefeasibly performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the indefeasible payment in full of the principal amount of the Loan Agreement, and all interest accrued thereon.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may exercise, in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, or in any of the other Loan Documents, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Collateral as in effect at the time and otherwise available by action or actions at law or in equity, including, without limitation:

(i) to sell, assign and effectively transfer the Collateral either at public or private sale, at the option of Administrative Agent, without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement, advertisement or notice (except such notice as is expressly provided herein) of any kind, all of which are expressly waived;

(ii) to proceed by way of appropriate judicial proceedings to have the Collateral sold at judicial sale, with or without appraisement;

(iii) to seek an injunction of the prohibited action; or

(iv) to pursue any other available legal remedy; and, out of the Proceeds of the sale of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, by preference and priority over all Persons whatsoever, the full remaining and unpaid balance of the Obligations, together with all interest, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other charges.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.2(b), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by law or as expressly provided herein) to or upon Pledgor, the Pledged Entities, the Guarantor, or any other Person (all and each of which other demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), Administrative Agent and/or its nominee(s) or designee(s) may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), upon such terms and conditions as Administrative Agent may deem advisable and at such prices as Administrative Agent may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Administrative Agent and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) shall have the right upon any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity Pledgor hereby waives and/or

releases to the extent permitted by applicable law. Administrative Agent shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser(s) of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may have at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or thereafter enacted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties have agreed that (A) before Administrative Agent has consummated any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, it shall have provided written notice to Pledgor (concurrently with or following any Event of Default) of its intent to do so not less than 60 days prior to such sale or disposition, and (B) such 60 day period shall be deemed a commercially reasonable notice period under all circumstances. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcing the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. In connection with any sale of the Collateral, Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like, and such disclaimer shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale. If Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, Pledgor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser(s) of such Collateral which are received by Administrative Agent and applied to the Obligations. In the event a purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Pledgor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

(d) In addition to the remedies described inSections 2.2(b) and2.2(c)above, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) Administrative Agent and/or its nominee(s) or designee(s) shall have the right to receive any and all Distributions or other payments paid with respect to the Pledged Interests and the other Collateral, as applicable, and make application thereof in accordance with this Agreement (and any dividends and other payments received in trust by Pledgor for the benefit of Administrative Agent shall be segregated from the other funds of Pledgor), and (ii) provided an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Administrative Agent’s election, all Pledged Interests shall be transferred to Administrative Agent and/or one or more nominee(s) or designee(s) thereof, and Administrative Agent and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may in the name of Pledgor or in Administrative Agent’s and/or such nominee(s)’ or designee(s)’ own name, collect all payments and assets due Pledgor pursuant to the Pledged Interests and/or the applicable Organizational Documents, and Administrative Agent and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may thereafter

exercise (x) all voting and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Interests, as applicable, to the extent permitted by law, and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Interests as if they were the absolute owners thereof (including the right to exchange at their discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other change in the entity structure of the Pledged Entities), or upon the exercise by Pledgor or Administrative Agent and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Interests, and, in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver evidences of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency (upon such terms and conditions as they may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by them, but neither Administrative Agent nor any such nominee or designee shall have any duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Further, unless and until Administrative Agent and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) succeed to actual ownership thereof, pursuant to the exercise of Administrative Agent’s remedies described inSections 2.2(b)and2.2(c) above, neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders nor any such nominee or designee shall be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability in connection with the Pledged Interests. The rights of Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any other right or remedy against Pledgor, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Loan Agreement, or against any other person or entity which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any other collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Neither Administrative Agent, Lenders nor any such nominee or designee shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall they be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or any other person or entity or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, unless such actions are required by applicable law.

(e) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to and shall apply the net proceeds of such sale of, or other realization upon, any or all of the Collateral, after first deducting the costs and expenses of sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs of Administrative Agent and Lenders’ agents, to the payment of the Obligations in such order as Administrative Agent shall elect, in its sole discretion, it being understood that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Administrative Agent shall retain all rights hereunder, until the date on which all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly satisfied in full, after deducting all such costs and expenses. If, after any sale of the Collateral pursuant to thisSection 2.2, there shall be a balance remaining after the payment of all of the items described above, such balance shall be paid to persons or entities entitled by law to receive such balance to allocate among themselves, without any liability resulting from the allocation thereof on the part of Administrative Agent or Lenders.

(f) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies available to Administrative Agent hereunder and without imposing upon Administrative Agent any duty to do so, Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or

Lien which is prior or superior to its security interest in the Collateral and pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith (any payment or expense so incurred shall be deemed Obligations and shall be immediately due and payable and secured hereby), all of which shall be deemed authorized by Pledgor. All such expenses not paid or reimbursed by Pledgor when due shall accrue interest at the default rate specified in the Loan Agreement. Nothing in thisSection 2.2(f) shall be construed as authorizing Pledgor to grant or permit any encumbrance, charge or Lien on the Collateral in violation of any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(g) In the event that Pledgor purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains any additional Pledged Interests in the Pledged Entities or any rights, options, subscriptions or warrants to acquire such Pledged Interests, all such Pledged Interests, options, rights, subscriptions or warrants shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral. If any such Pledged Interests are to be evidenced by a certificate, any such additional certificates shall be promptly delivered to Administrative Agent, together with assignments related thereto, or other instruments appropriate to transfer a certificate representing any Pledged Interests, duly executed in blank. Pledgor shall deliver to Administrative Agent all subscriptions, warrants, options and all such other rights, and upon the delivery to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall hold such subscriptions, warrants, options and other rights as additional collateral pledged to secure the Obligations;provided, however, that if Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that the value of any such subscriptions, warrants, options or other rights shall terminate, expire or be materially reduced in value by holding the same as Collateral, Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, to sell or exercise the same, and if exercised, then the monies disbursed by Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall become part of the Obligations and all the stock, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other items so acquired shall be titled in the name of the applicable Pledgor and shall become part of the Collateral.

(h) Pledgor hereby expressly agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Pledged Interests are not of a type customarily sold on a recognized market; and (ii) so long as Administrative Agent provides notice of sale of the Collateral in such form, to such persons, and through such publication as required under the Code, and as long as any public or private sale is held in the place required under such Section, Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner so long as it provides not less than 30 days notice of such sale.

(i) Because of the Securities Act of 1933, as Modified (the “Securities Act”), or any other applicable laws or regulations, there may be legal restrictions or limitations affecting Administrative Agent in any attempts to dispose of certain portions of the Collateral in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder. For these reasons, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by Pledgor, but not obligated, in the event of any Event of Default hereunder giving rise to Administrative Agent’s rights to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, and after the giving of any notices required herein, to sell all or any part of the Collateral at private sale, subject to an investment letter or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act, or other applicable rules and regulations

promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation, at the best price reasonably obtainable by Administrative Agent at any such private sale or other disposition in the manner mentioned above, and Pledgor specifically acknowledges that any such disposition shall be commercially reasonable under the Code, even though any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and agrees that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for sale as a registered security under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should agree to, so register it. Administrative Agent is also hereby authorized by Pledgor, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as Administrative Agent may deem required or appropriate in the event of a sale or disposition of any of the Collateral. If Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, upon written request, Pledgor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Interests owned by Pledgor to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Administrative Agent all such information as Administrative Agent may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Collateral which may be sold by Administrative Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. Pledgor clearly understands that Administrative Agent may at its discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if same were registered and sold in the open market. Pledgor agrees: (i) in the event Administrative Agent shall, upon an Event of Default hereunder, sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at such private sale or sales, Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of a national securities exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such private sale thereof; and (ii) that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Administrative Agent handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner under the Code.

(j) In order to permit Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to thisSection 2.2 and to receive all Distributions and other payments which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) WITHOUT LIMITING THE EFFECT OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING CLAUSE (i), UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, PLEDGOR HEREBY GRANTS TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY TO VOTE THE PLEDGED INTERESTS PLEDGED BY PLEDGOR AND TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF MEMBERS OR PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF MEMBERS OR PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS), WHICH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE

NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED INTERESTS ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), AND WHICH PROXY SHALL ONLY TERMINATE UPON THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS (WHICH, HOWEVER, SHALL REMAIN SUBJECT TO THE PREFERENTIAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS).

3. Representations and Warranties of Pledgor. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, that:

3.1 Pledgor (i) is the record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interests to the extent and in the manner set forth inExhibit A attached hereto as of the date hereof, and (ii) will own any Pledged Interests and other Collateral hereafter acquired, in either case, free and clear of all claims, Liens, options and encumbrances of any kind and Pledgor has the right and authority to pledge and assign its portion of the Pledged Interests and grant a security interest therein as herein provided.

3.2 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Pledgor will not cause a violation of or a default under the Organizational Documents of Pledgor or the Pledged Entities.

3.3 The pledge, assignment, lien and security interest made and granted hereunder constitutes a valid pledge, assignment, lien and security interest of, on and in all of the Collateral owned by Pledgor; and, upon the filing of a financing statement in the state of organization of Pledgor, such lien and security interest shall constitute a perfected first-priority lien and security interest on and in the Collateral, which lien and security interest, to the extent provided in the Code, shall be enforceable as such against all creditors of Pledgor and any person or entity purporting to purchase or otherwise acquire any Collateral from Pledgor (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally).

3.4 The Organizational Documents are described onExhibit B hereto. True, correct and complete copies of the Organizational Documents have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, each of which is in full force and effect, has not been Modified except to the extent indicated therein and there are no defaults under the Organizational Documents and no events which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under the Organizational Documents.

3.5 The state of formation and the mailing address of Pledgor are set forth onExhibit C hereto. No change has been or will be made in the state of formation or the mailing address of the Pledged Entities or Pledgor except upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Administrative Agent and the delivery to Administrative Agent of such financing statements and other documents as Administrative Agent may require in connection therewith.

3.6 No approval by, authorization of, or filing with any federal, state or other governmental commission, agency or authority is necessary in connection with the execution,

delivery and performance by Pledgor of this Agreement or to perfect the security interests granted herein.

3.7 Other than rights of setoff granted to financial institutions with respect to accounts that may hold cash that constitutes a portion of the Collateral, there are no setoffs, counterclaims or defenses with respect to the Collateral owned by Pledgor and no agreement, oral or written, has been made with any other person or party under which any deduction or discount may be claimed with respect to such Collateral and Pledgor does not know of any fact which would prohibit or prevent Pledgor assigning or granting a security interest in the Collateral.

3.8 The pledge, assignment, lien and security interest made and granted hereunder and the exercise of remedies by Administrative Agent hereunder do not violate, and do not require that any filing, registration or other act be taken with respect to, any Requirements of Law pertaining to the registration or transfer of securities, including without limitation the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (as such laws may be Modified from time to time, collectively, the “Securities Laws”). The Pledged Interests are represented by a “certificated security” as that term is defined in Section 8-102 of the Code. Pledgor shall at all times comply with the Securities Laws as the same pertain to all or any portion of the Collateral or pledge, assignment, lien and security interest made and granted hereunder.

3.9 No approval by or authorization or consent of any other Person is necessary to authorize or validate the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or if such approval, authorization, or consent is necessary, it is evidenced by the Consent and Waiver attached hereto or otherwise obtained.

3.10 The interests comprising the Collateral, including the Pledged Interests (i) are not dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets and (ii) are not “investment company securities” (as defined in Section 8-103(b) of the Code).

3.11 The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i) the terms of the Organizational Documents governing each of the Pledged Interests expressly provide that the Pledged Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the UCC as in effect in each applicable jurisdiction, (ii) Section 13.2 of the Operating Agreement is in full force and effect, and (iii) the certificates evidencing the Pledged Interests contain a legend substantially as follows: “This certificate evidences an interest in [NAME OF ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO PLEDGED LLC INTEREST] and shall be a security governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each other applicable jurisdiction.”

4. Covenants of Pledgor.

4.1 Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) Except as permitted under the Loan Agreement, Pledgor will not amend, terminate, rescind, supplement or otherwise modify the Organizational Documents, or waive any rights thereunder.

(c) Pledgor shall, at Pledgor’s cost, maintain the portion of the Collateral owned by Pledgor and shall defend, at Pledgor’s cost, Administrative Agent’s security interest in and to the Pledged Interests or any other Collateral as applicable, against all persons and against all claims and demands whatsoever.

(d) Pledgor shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, in writing, of the imposition at any time of any claim, option, Lien or encumbrance upon or against all or any portion of the Pledged Interests and/or any other Collateral.

(e) Except as expressly provided in the Loan Agreement, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, at no time shall Pledgor cause or allow any Pledged Entity (nor, without limiting the foregoing, shall Pledgor vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, such Pledged Entity) to:

(i) make any Distribution under any of the Organizational Documents or otherwise, or purchase or redeem or obligate itself to purchase or redeem any Pledged Interests in violation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; or

(ii) redeem or cancel any Pledged Interests or issue or authorize to be issued any additional Pledged Interests; or

any new members or partners, as the case may be, into the Pledged Entities or transfer its interests in the Pledged Entities. Any such permitted or approval admission or transfer shall be made on the condition that such new member or partner, as the case may be, executes and delivers, and agrees to be bound by an agreement, in form and content substantially identical to this Agreement, pursuant to which such new member or partner, as the case may be, pledges its interest in the Pledged Entities to Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations, and such admission or transfer shall be otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Organizational Documents.

(h) Pledgor authorizes Administrative Agent, at the expense of Pledgor, at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, with or without signature of Pledgor, as deemed necessary by Administrative Agent to perfect its security interest in the Collateral. Pledgor hereby ratifies its authorization for Administrative Agent to have filed any initial financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements if filed prior to the date of this Agreement. Pledgor will sign and deliver any financing statements and other documents and information, and perform such other acts, as Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable from time to time to establish and maintain in favor of Administrative Agent valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral, free of all other Liens, encumbrances, security interests and claims. Pledgor shall also furnish to Administrative Agent all certificates or other instruments and papers evidencing or constituting any of the Collateral, together with appropriate endorsements and assignments and any information relating thereto, and shall do anything Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable from time to time from time to time to establish a valid security interest in and to further protect and perfect its interests in the Collateral.

(i) Pledgor upon demand shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the fees and disbursements of counsel and of any experts and agents, which Administrative Agent may incur in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral; (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder; or (iii) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(j) In no event shall Pledgor do or permit to be done, or omit to do or permit the omission of, any act or thing, the doing or omission of which, would impair the validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of the security interests granted herein.

(k) The Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees that it will not agree to any amendment or repeal of Section 13.2 of the Operating Agreement and in any event shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing if for any reason the Pledged Interests shall cease to be securities for purposes of the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction.

4.2 Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees that in the event that Administrative Agent, its designee or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale acquires all or any portion of the Pledged Interests, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Organizational Documents, such Person, at its option, shall be admitted as a member or partner, as the case may be, of the Pledged Entities, and shall be entitled to receive all benefits and exercise all rights in connection

therewith pursuant to the Organizational Documents; provided, however, that such Person shall have no liability for matters in connection with the Pledged Interests arising or occurring, directly or indirectly, prior to such Person’s becoming a member or partner, as the case may be, of the Pledged Entities.

5. Voting Rights; Distributions. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Pledged Interests; and (b) subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Pledgor shall be entitled to make and receive Distributions paid in respect of the Collateral; provided, however, that any and all Distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, or in exchange for, any Collateral shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Administrative Agent to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, be segregated from the other property of Pledgor and be forthwith delivered to Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with all necessary endorsements). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Agreement, the aforesaid rights shall immediately vest in Administrative Agent in accordance withSection 2.2(d) hereof.

6. Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints and instructs Administrative Agent (and its nominees and designees) as its attorney-in-fact to take any and all actions necessary and proper, upon notice to Pledgor, or to carry out the intent of this Agreement and to perfect and protect the lien, pledge, assignment and security interest of Administrative Agent created hereunder, provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not exercise such grant except during the continuance of an Event of Default. Pledgor hereby ratifies, approves and confirms all actions taken by Administrative Agent and its agents and attorneys-in-fact pursuant to thisSection 6. Neither Administrative Agent, Lenders nor any said agent or attorney-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law with respect to its dealings with the Collateral, except for acts constituting recklessness or willful misconduct. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the date upon which the Obligations have been indefeasibly satisfied in full. Without limiting the foregoing, if Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, where necessary or advisable in the name or on behalf of Pledgor, and at the expense of Pledgor, as applicable.

Through its acceptance of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms hereof.

7.2 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, as between Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the exercise by Administrative Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder shall be subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 8.5 of the Loan Agreement.

7.3 Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall independently acquire for its own account (whether by way of direct grant, indemnification, subrogation or otherwise), any Lien affecting the Collateral or any portion thereof. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall acquire any Lien on any other property (real or personal, tangible or intangible or otherwise) of any Transaction Party which Lien secures the Loan or any portion thereof unless such Lien is granted in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders,pari passuin accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Any Liens obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in violation of thisSection 7.3 shall be immediately assigned to the Administrative Agent for thepari passu benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and until so assigned shall automatically be deemed held by the Administrative Agent or any such Lender in trust for thepari passu benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

THIS ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of August 1, 2005, by and among EH/TRANSEASTERN, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and TE/TOUSA SENIOR LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (“Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”), TOUSA HOMES, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TOUSA Member”), and TECHNICAL OLYMPIC USA, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with Borrowers and TOUSA Member, jointly and severally, “Indemnitors”), in favor of DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders described below (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), with reference to the following facts:

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be Modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) by and among Borrowers, the Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Administrative Agent (together with the Lender, the “Lender Parties”), the Lenders have agreed to make a loan to Borrowers in an initial principal amount of $450,000,000 (the “Loan”), consisting of $335,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, and up to $115,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments.

B. The obligations of Indemnitors with respect to the Loan are secured, in part, by the Security Instruments, which encumber the Mortgaged Property.

C. One of the conditions precedent to the Lenders’ obligation to make the Loan is that Indemnitors enter into this Agreement.

D. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loan by Lenders to Borrowers, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Indemnitors agree to the following:

1. In the event any Lender Party is obligated by an applicable federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation or otherwise directed by any governmental agency or authority, to (a) clean-up, remove or encapsulate or cause the clean-up, removal, or encapsulation of any Hazardous Materials from the Mortgaged Property, or (b) to perform any assessment or remedial acts with respect to any underground storage tank (“UST”) located in, on, over, under, from, affecting, or about the Mortgaged Property, Indemnitors shall, jointly and severally, (i) promptly undertake to arrange for such assessment clean-up, removal, encapsulation or remedial acts, (ii) exercise their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such assessment clean-up, removal, encapsulation or remedial acts shall be conducted in a timely and diligent manner, and (iii)

assume the cost and expense of such assessment clean-up, removal, encapsulation or remedial acts.

2. In the event that at any time during which the Mortgaged Property is owned by a party having the benefit of this Agreement, any lien is recorded or filed against the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any federal, state or local law, ordinance, rule or regulation regarding Hazardous Materials or USTs, Indemnitors shall, jointly and severally, not later than thirty (30) days following any Indemnitors’ receipt of notification of the filing of such lien, satisfy the claim and cause the lien thereunder to be discharged of record (whether by payment, bonding or otherwise).

3. In addition to the foregoing, Indemnitors shall, jointly and severally, protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless the Lender Parties and their officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, losses, costs, damages, liabilities, obligations, causes of action, diminution in value of the Mortgaged Property (including any diminution in the sales price of the Mortgaged Property suffered by any Lender Party or any of its respective Affiliates), fines, penalties or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenditures for investigation, removal, clean-up, and remedial costs) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties by reason of: (a) the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release, threatened release, handling or transportation of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under, over, from, or affecting the Mortgaged Property; (b) the improper installation, maintenance or removal of any USTs on the Mortgaged Property; (c) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to any such Hazardous Materials or USTs in, on, under, over, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property; (d) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government hearing, investigation, inquiry, proceeding or order relating to any such Hazardous Materials in, on, under, over, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property; or (e) any violation of laws, orders, regulations, requirements, or demands of governmental authorities which are based upon or in any way related to any such Hazardous Materials or USTs in, on, under, over, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of any remedial action, consultants’ fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation expenses. Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve any counsel selected to defend any Lender Party or the other Indemnified Parties hereunder.

4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Indemnitors shall not be liable for any Hazardous Materials first placed on or under the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) after ownership and control of the Mortgaged Property has been transferred to a third party following foreclosure or exercise of the power of sale under the Security Instrument (“Transfer of Ownership”); provided, however, that (i) the migration of any Hazardous Materials placed in, under, over, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property (or such portion thereof), which materials were present prior to Transfer of Ownership, shall remain the joint and several liability of Indemnitors; and (ii) Indemnitors shall have the burden of proving that such environmental condition occurred, subsequent to Transfer of Ownership.

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, this Agreement is not secured by the Mortgaged Property and the obligations herein are separate and

distinct from any obligations of the Indemnitors or Borrowers related to environmental matters which are set forth in the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

6. Each of the Indemnitors expressly acknowledge as follows: (a) that the effectiveness of this Agreement shall not be affected by and shall expressly survive the extinguishment of the aforementioned debt from Borrowers to any Lender Party; (b) that the effectiveness of this Agreement shall not be affected by and shall expressly survive the sale of the Mortgaged Property by Lender Parties or any of their respective Affiliates in the event that any such Person becomes the owner of all or any interest in the Mortgaged Property; (c) that this Agreement is not being given as security for Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Loan or as an assurance to the Lender Parties that the Mortgaged Property will retain sufficient value to satisfy the obligations of Borrowers to repay the Loan; and (d) that this Agreement is being given solely to allocate, as between Borrowers, Guarantors and the Lender Parties, the risk of expenses which may become necessary because of environmental problems with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

7. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent, Lenders or any Lender Party shall be deemed to include their successors and assigns, and any one or more purchasers of the Loan or the Mortgaged Property, if purchased from any Lender Party, to whose favor the provisions of this Agreement shall also inure. No consent by the Indemnitors shall be required for any assignment or reassignment of the rights of the Lender Parties hereunder to any one or more purchasers of the Loan or the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; provided, however, Indemnitors’ liability hereunder is not increased or decreased as a result of such assignment or reassignment. Each reference herein to the Indemnitors shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Indemnitors, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

8. Each of the Indemnitors (and their representative, executing below, if any) has full power, authority and legal right to execute this Agreement and to perform all its obligations under this Agreement.

9. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Indemnitors, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

10. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INDEMNITORS AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED AS TO VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL ALSO CONSTITUTE AN INDEMNITY AGREEMENT UNDER ANY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT (42 U.S.C. SECTION 9601, ET SEQ.), AS NOW OR HEREAFTER AMENDED.

11. Should any litigation be commenced between the Indemnitors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to this Agreement, the party prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees and court costs in such litigation, including without limitation any appeals or bankruptcy proceedings. All costs and other payments required to be paid by Indemnitors hereunder on behalf of the Lender Parties or otherwise shall be due on demand by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders. If those payments are not paid promptly by Indemnitors on demand by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, and if the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall advance any funds in payment thereof, Indemnitors shall nevertheless remain jointly and severally liable for all amounts due hereunder plus interest at the default rate under Section 2.9(5) of the Loan Agreement on all such funds advanced by the Administrative Agent or any Lender until repaid by Indemnitors, in addition to all other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or by law.

12. INDEMNITORS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS, BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, MUTUALLY, EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, IN THE INTEREST OF AVOIDING DELAYS AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH JURY TRIALS.

The Credit Agreement provides for certain loans (the “Loans”) to be made by Agent to Borrowers in an original maximum aggregate principal amount of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000.00).

[Assignor has executed and delivered a Mortgage with Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing, dated as of the date hereof (in its original form and as hereafter amended, the “Mortgage”), establishing a first priority lien on the Project (subject to the Permitted Encumbrances) to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations.]

The execution and delivery of this Assignment by Borrowers to Agent is a condition precedent to the obligation of Lenders to make the Loans.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which by the parties hereto is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.Secured Obligations. This Assignment is made for the purpose of securing the following (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”):

(i) the prompt and punctual payment when due of all amounts now outstanding or hereafter becoming due and payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all modifications thereof; and

(ii) the performance and observance of all other Obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.Assignment. As security for the payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, now existing or hereafter arising, Assignor hereby assigns, transfers, and pledges to Agent, and hereby grants to Agent a security interest in, all of Assignor’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in

Without limiting the foregoing, the term “Contracts” shall include:

(i) those certain agreements and contracts, licenses, permits and other matters listed onExhibit B attached hereto;

(ii) all rights of Assignor to receive monies due and to become due under or pursuant to the Contracts;

(iii) all claims of Assignor for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the Contracts;

(iv) all rights of Assignor to terminate, amend, supplement, modify or waive performance under the Contracts, to compel performance and otherwise to exercise all remedies thereunder; and

Section3.Exercise of Assigned Rights.

(a) Assignor hereby irrevocably directs the grantor or licensor of or the contracting party to any Contract, to the extent permitted by such Contract and under any recognition or other agreement executed by such grantor, licensor or contracting party, upon demand from Agent, to recognize and accept Agent as the holder of such Contract for any and all purposes as fully as it would recognize and accept Assignor and the performance of Assignor thereunder. Following an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, each such party to the Contracts upon written notice from Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall be and is hereby authorized by Assignor to perform under their respective Contract(s) for the benefit of Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof without any obligation to determine whether or not such an Event of Default has in fact occurred or is continuing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to the other provisions of this Assignment and the Loan Documents, for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Assignor may exercise all of its rights and privileges under the Contracts. Assignor’s foregoing right shall immediately cease and terminate upon and during the continuance of any such Event of Default.

Section 4.Representations and Warranties. Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Agent as follows:

-2-

(i) Assignor has the full power, right and authority to execute and deliver this Assignment.

(ii) Assignor lawfully holds rights and interests in the Contracts, has the authority to assign its interest under each said Contract (to the extent said assignment is permitted by law or the terms of the applicable Contract), and has not sold, assigned, transferred, mortgaged or pledged any such right or interest under the Contracts to any person other than Agent and has not executed any other document or instrument that might prevent or limit Agent from operating under or realizing the benefits of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Assignment.

(iii) Assignor is not in default under the Contracts or any of them, and to Assignor’s Knowledge, no other party, if any, to the respective Contracts is in default thereunder

(iv) No authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses, permits, filings or registrations with any governmental authority or agency are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Assignor of this Assignment or for the validity or enforceability thereof except those obtained on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 5.Covenants of Assignor. Assignor covenants and agrees as follows:

(i) Assignor shall perform and observe, in a timely manner, all of the covenants, conditions, obligations and agreements of Assignor under the Contracts and shall suffer or permit no delinquency on its part to exist thereunder.

(ii) Without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Assignor shall not (A) sell, assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge any Contract or any such right or interest under any Contract or (B) cancel, terminate, amend, supplement or modify any of the Contracts.

(iii) Assignor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the performance of each and every obligation, covenant, condition and agreement to be performed by the licensor, grantor or other contracting party under the Contracts.

(iv) Within ten (10) days after execution of any of the Contracts, Assignor shall deliver a copy of an executed original of such Contract to Agent and, at the reasonable request of Agent, shall require each counterparty to a material Contract to execute and deliver to Agent a consent to this Assignment, such consent to be in a form acceptable to Agent, in its reasonable discretion.

Section 6.Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), without notice to or demand on Assignor: (i) to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or hereunder, as well as such remedies as may be available at law or in equity, and (ii) to correct any such Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Agent may deem reasonably necessary to protect the security hereof, including specifically, without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Agent, and also the right (but not the obligation) to perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant, condition and agreement of Assignor under the Contracts, and, in exercising any such powers, to pay necessary costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

for Agent, and the terms “fees,” “costs” and “expenses” shall include, without limitation, the reasonable fees charged by Agent for its in-house counsel.

Section 7.Enforcement of Contracts.

The exercise of any rights under this Assignment shall not be deemed to cure or waive any Event of Default, or waive, modify or affect any notice of any potential Default or Event of Default, or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

Section 8.No Obligation of Agent: Assignor Remains Liable. Notwithstanding any legal presumption to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall operate or be construed to obligate Agent to perform or discharge, nor does Agent hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any of the terms, covenants, conditions, obligations, duties or liabilities contained in the Contracts or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Agent with respect to the Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) Assignor shall remain liable in respect of the Contracts to the extent set forth therein to perform and satisfy all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Assignment had not been executed and (ii) the exercise by Agent of any of the rights and remedies hereunder shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the Contracts.

Section 9.Further Assurances. Assignor shall, from time to time upon the written request of Agent, promptly execute and deliver such further documents and take such further action as Agent may reasonably request in order to create, preserve, perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted hereby or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder. All of the foregoing shall be at Assignor’s expense (including, without limitation, (i) all filing, registration and recording fees and (ii) all stamp taxes and other taxes and charges in connection therewith).

Section 10.Attorney-in-Fact. Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Assignor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Assignment and taking any action and executing any instruments which Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the right to sign and file any financing statement (or amendment or extension thereof) deemed necessary by Agent in connection herewith, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Section 11.Security Agreement.

(a) This Assignment shall also constitute a security agreement as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided herein or in any other Loan Document, in law, at equity or otherwise, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

Payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said Preferential Payment had not been made.

Assignor shall not use, generate, manufacture, store, dispose of or permit to exist in, on, under or about the Project any Hazardous Materials.

Assignee’s consent to such action shall not be construed to mean that Assignee has the capacity to cause or determine the appropriate Hazardous Materials management practices of Assignor but only is intended for Assignee to assure that its collateral hereunder is not being impaired.

(vii)Inspection; Estoppel Certificates. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Contract Documents, Assignor will permit Assignee, at all reasonable times and with reasonable notice, to inspect the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, such inspections may include entry by Assignee or its agents on the Project: (i) to determine the status of construction, quality and condition of improvements on the Project, (ii) to ascertain the existence of Hazardous Materials on the Project, (iii) to determine the compliance of the Project and its use with any applicable law, rule or regulation and (iv) for any other purpose deemed reasonably necessary by Assignee. Assignee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with ongoing construction, development and sales activities on the Project.

The estoppel certificate from Assignor shall also state either that, to Assignor’s best knowledge and based on no independent investigation, no Default exists hereunder or under the Contract Documents or, if any Event of Default shall exist hereunder, specify any Event of Default of which Assignor has actual knowledge and the steps being taken to cure such Event of Default.

Section 6.Hold Harmless. Assignor will defend and hold Assignee harmless from any action, proceeding or claim affecting the Project, this Assignment and/or the Collateral, to the extent such action, proceeding or claim did not result primarily from Assignee’s gross negligence or willful wrongdoing. Assignor shall appear in and defend (or pay the reasonable expenses of Assignee to defend, if Assignee gives Assignor notice of its election to handle such defense) any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security of this Assignment and/or the rights and/or powers of Assignee hereunder, and Assignor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys’ fees) in any action or proceeding in which Assignee may so appear and/or any suit

-5-

by Assignee to realize upon the security provided by this Assignment, to enforce any obligations secured by this Assignment, and/or to prevent the breach hereof. Assignor’s obligations under this Section 6 shall survive payment of the Indebtedness and the release of the lien and security interest granted herein.

Section 7.Mechanic’s Lien. Assignor shall not permit or suffer any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other lien to be created or to remain a lien upon the Project or any portion thereof as a result of access to and entry upon the Project by Assignor or its agents; provided however, Assignor shall have the right to pursue a Good Faith Contest of any such claims in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement.

Section 8.Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation), without notice to or demand on Assignor: (i) to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or hereunder, as well as such remedies as may be available at law or in equity, and (ii) to correct any such Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Assignee may deem reasonably necessary to protect the security hereof, including specifically, without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Assignee, and also the right (but not the obligation), either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court at any time hereafter, to perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant, condition and agreement of Assignor under the Contract Documents, Additional Contracts, and Owner Consent, and, in exercising any such powers, to pay necessary costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “attorneys” includes attorneys who are employees of Assignee acting as counsel for Assignee, and the terms “fees,” “costs” and “expenses” shall include, without limitation, the reasonable fees charged by Assignee for its in-house counsel.

Section 9.Receiver. Assignee shall be entitled, as a matter of strict right, without notice and ex parte, and without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, or the solvency of the Assignor, Borrower or of any Guarantor, or the adequacy of the Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction (including application on ex parte motion, if deemed necessary or desirable by Assignee), for the appointment of a receiver to perform the obligations of Assignor under the Contract Documents and Additional Contracts and to take possession of the Collateral and collect any Rents due Assignor. Such actions shall include, without limitation, each of the following to the extent permitted under the Contract Documents and the Owner Consent: taking charge of, managing, preserving, protecting, completing construction of, and operating the Project, or any combination thereof; making all necessary and needed repairs; paying all Impositions and all other costs incurred in connection with the Project; and, after payment of the expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ and legal assistants’ fees and after compensation to the receiver for management and completion of the Project, applying all net proceeds derived therefrom in reduction of the Indebtedness or in such other manner as the court shall direct. The appointment of such receiver shall be a matter of strict right to Assignee, regardless of the adequacy of the security or of the solvency of any party obligated for payment of the Secured Obligations. All expenses, fees and compensation incurred pursuant to any such receivership shall be secured by the lien of this Assignment until paid. The receiver, personally or through agents, may exclude Assignor wholly from the Project and, to the extent permitted under the Contract Documents and the Owner Consent, have, hold, use, operate, manage and control the Project and may in the name of Assignor exercise all of Assignor’s rights and powers to maintain, construct, operate, restore, insure and keep insured the Project in such manner as such receiver deems appropriate.

Section 10.Enforcement of Contract Documents. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignee, at its option, without notice, and without

-6-

regard to the adequacy of security for the Secured Obligations, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court at any time hereafter, may enforce the Contract Documents and Additional Contracts for its own benefit. The exercise of any rights under this Assignment shall not be deemed to cure or waive any Event of Default, or waive, modify or affect any notice of any Potential Default or Event of Default, or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

Section 11.No Obligation of Assignee: Assignor Remains Liable. Notwithstanding any legal presumption to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall operate or be construed to obligate Assignee to perform or discharge, nor does Assignee hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any of the terms, covenants, conditions, obligations, duties or liabilities contained in the Contract Documents or Additional Contracts or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Assignee with respect to the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) Assignor shall remain liable in respect of the Contract Documents and Additional Contracts to the extent set forth therein to perform and satisfy all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Assignment had not been executed and (ii) the exercise by Assignee of any of the rights and remedies hereunder shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the Contract Documents and Additional Contracts.

Section 12.Further Assurances. Assignor shall, from time to time upon the written request of Assignee, promptly execute and deliver such further documents and take such further action as Assignee may reasonably request in order to create, preserve, perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted hereby or to enable Assignee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder. All of the foregoing shall be at Assignor’s expense (including, without limitation, (i) all filing, registration and recording fees and (ii) all stamp taxes and other taxes and charges in connection therewith).

Section 13.Attornev-in-Fact. Assignee is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Assignor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Assignment and taking any action and executing any instruments which Assignee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the right to sign and file any financing statement (or amendment or extension thereof) deemed necessary by Assignee in connection herewith, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Section 14.Security Agreement.

(a) This Assignment shall also constitute a security agreement as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) and for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and for the purpose of further securing payment and performance of the Indebtedness and the Obligations, Assignor hereby grants to Assignee a security interest and lien in all rights, titles, and interests now owned or hereafter acquired by Assignor in all Personalty and other collateral constituting a part of the Collateral.

(b) Assignor represents and warrants that, except for any financing statement filed by Assignee, no presently effective financing statement covering the Personalty or any part of the Collateral, has been filed with any filing officer, and no other security interest has attached or has been perfected in the Collateral or any part thereof. Assignor shall from time to time within fifteen (15) days after request by Assignee, execute, acknowledge and deliver any financing statement, renewal, affidavit, certificate, continuation statement or other document as Assignee may request in order to evidence, perfect, preserve, continue, extend or maintain this security agreement and the security interest created hereby as a first lien on the Collateral. Assignor authorizes Assignee to file financing statements describing the Collateral or any part thereof.

-7-

(c) Assignee shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided herein or in any other Loan Document, in law, at equity or otherwise, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Assignee shall give Assignor ten (10) days’ written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. After deducting all expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder, Assignee shall cause the proceeds of the Collateral to be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as Assignee may determine, and Assignor, subject to the terms of the other Loan Documents, shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Section 15.No Liability; Indemnity.

(a) In the exercise of the powers herein granted to Assignee, no liability shall be asserted or enforced by Assignor against Assignee, all such liability being hereby expressly waived and released by Assignor except for claims resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Assignee. Assignor shall indemnify, defend and hold Assignee harmless against and from all liability, loss, damage and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), which Assignee may or shall incur or be subject to by reason of this Assignment, by reason of any act or omission of Assignor under any of the Contract Documents, or by reason of any action taken in good faith by Assignee hereunder, and against and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Contract Documents, Additional Contracts or otherwise with respect to the Collateral. Should Assignee incur any such liability, loss, damage or expense, the amount thereof (including reasonable costs and expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred), together with interest thereon at the default rate of interest set forth in Section 2.9(5) of the Credit Agreement, shall be secured hereby and by the other Security Instruments and all other Loan Documents and shall be payable by Assignor to Assignee immediately upon demand.

(b) Without limiting any other indemnification obligations hereunder, Assignor shall indemnify and hold Assignee harmless from any loss, liability, cost, expense and/or claim (including without limitation the cost of any fines, remedial action, damage to the environment and cleanup and the fees of experts and reasonable attorneys fees) of or against Assignee arising from (i) the use, presence, generation, storage, release or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under, over, from or affecting the Collateral or the Project or the transport of any Hazardous Materials to or from the Project; and (ii) the violation of any law relating to industrial hygiene or environmental conditions in connection with the Collateral or the Project, including soil and ground water conditions and USTs; and (iii) the breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of Assignor with respect to Hazardous Materials set forth in this Assignment. Assignee shall have the right to approve any counsel selected by Assignor to defend Assignee hereunder. Assignee may hire engineers and other consultants of its choice to perform the inspections, and testing permitted under this Assignment relating to Hazardous Materials, all at Assignor’s sole expense. The inspection of the Project by Assignee or its agents will not relieve Assignor, of its obligation to comply with any environmental laws. Assignor’s obligations under this Section shall survive payment of the Indebtedness and the release of the lien granted herein.

Section 16.Termination. Assignee, by the acceptance of this Agreement, agrees that when all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and fully performed, subject to Section 2.20(5) of the Credit Agreement and Section 18 below, this Assignment shall terminate, and Assignee shall execute and deliver to Assignor, upon such termination, at Assignor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments of re-assignment, all without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever, as shall be reasonably requested by Assignor.

Assignor agrees to pay to Assignee immediately and without demand all costs and expenses incurred by Assignee in exercising the remedies under this Assignment, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranties and the other Loan Documents, including but without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees expended or incurred by Assignee in any arbitrations, judicial reference, legal action or otherwise in connection with (a) the negotiation, preparation, amendment and enforcement of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation during any workout or attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering of legal advice as to Assignee’s rights, remedies and obligations under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) collecting any sum which becomes due to Assignee under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (c) any proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding or any appeal, or (d) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights or remedies of Assignee. All such costs and expenses shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate or the highest rate permitted under applicable law from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid. Assignee shall be entitled to bid, at the sale of the Collateral held pursuant to any foreclosure of this instrument, the amount of said costs, expenses and interest in addition to the amount of the other Indebtedness and Secured Obligations as a credit bid, the equivalent of cash.

Section 18.Reinstatement. This Assignment and the security interest created hereunder shall automatically be reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Assignor in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise and Assignor shall indemnify Assignee for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Assignee in connection with such rescission or restoration.

Section 19.Miscellaneous.

(a)No Waiver. No failure on the part of Assignee or any of its agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Assignee or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(b)Marshaling. Assignee shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including but not limited to this Assignment and the Contract Documents subject to the security interest created hereby), or guaranties of, the Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order; and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such securities and guaranties shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Assignor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Assignee’s rights under this Assignment or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and to the extent that it lawfully may Assignor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. Assignee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Contract Documents or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the sole custody thereof.

(c)Governing Law. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LAWS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL

-9-

LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL SO GOVERN AND BE CONTROLLING; AND PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA SHALL GOVERN AS TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS IN PROPERTY LOCATED IN SUCH STATE, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ALL THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE INDEBTEDNESS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

(d)Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of Assignee in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(e)Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies set forth in this Assignment are cumulative, and Assignee may recover judgment thereon, issue execution therefor, and resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity, without first exhausting and without affecting or impairing the security of any right or remedy afforded hereby; and no such right or remedy set forth in this Assignment shall be deemed exclusive of any of the remedies or rights granted to Assignee in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents, or any other document. Nothing contained in this Assignment shall be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of Assignee under any other document related to the Secured Obligations. For payment of the Indebtedness, Assignee may resort to any other security therefor held by Assignee in such order and manner as Assignee may elect. In the event Assignee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Credit Agreement, any Guaranty or any other Loan Document and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case Assignor, Borrower, Guarantors and Assignee shall be restored to their former positions and the rights, remedies and powers of Assignee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken. Without affecting the liability of any person (other than any person released pursuant to the provisions of this section) for payment of any Indebtedness secured hereby, and without affecting or impairing in any way the priority or extent of the liens of the Loan Documents upon any property not specifically released pursuant hereto, Assignee may at any time and from time to time (a) release any person liable for payment of any Indebtedness secured hereby; (b) extend the time or agree to alter the terms of payment of any of the Indebtedness; or (c) accept additional security of any kind; (d) release any property securing the Indebtedness.

(f)Waivers. Etc. This Assignment may not be amended, waived or discharged except by an instrument in writing duly executed by Assignor and Assignee, except Assignee may elect to waive any of its rights hereunder from time to time without permanently waiving any such right by virtue of any single such waiver or being obligated so to waive such right (or any other right) in any future similar or dissimilar circumstances. Any failure by Assignee to insist upon strict performance by Assignor or Guarantor of any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents and Assignee shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by the applicable Borrower Parties of any and all of them.

(g)Successors and Assigns. This Assignment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Assignor, Assignee and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations;provided, however, that Assignor shall not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Assignee.
