     (b) Revolving Loan Borrowings.

     (i)Notice of Borrowing. ARSR, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall request a Loan by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing which confirmation may be by fax) to the Administrative Agent in the form of a duly completed and executed Notice of Borrowing, together with a duly completed and executed Compliance Certificate, not later than 11:00 a.m. on or before two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the requested borrowing (unless a shorter notice period is approved by the Administrative Agent) (the “Requested Borrowing Date”).

The Administrative Agent

First Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement
(Wachovia and Arbor)

30

shall give notice to each Lender promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Borrowing and Compliance Certificate, the contents thereof and each such Lender’s share thereof.

     (ii)Loan Approval. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers on or prior to the Requested Borrowing Date whether the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders has (A) rejected the proposed Loan based on the Administrative Agent’s review of the Notice of Borrowing and/or the Compliance Certificate, (B) has agreed to the proposed Loan or (C) has agreed to make the requested Loan subject to certain terms, conditions or modifications. The Administrative Agent’s failure to timely respond to a Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to be a rejection of the proposed Loan. If the Administrative Agent rejects the proposed Loan as provided inclause (A) above or the Borrowers reject the terms, conditions or modifications required by the Administrative Agent underclause (C) above, the Lenders shall not be obligated to make the proposed Loan requested in the Notice of Borrowing, and the submitted Notice of Borrowing shall thereafter become void automatically without further action by any party.

     (iii)Minimum Amounts. Subject to the other provisions of thisArticle II, each Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.

     (iv)Advances.

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

     (v)Borrower’s Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for the purpose requested and approved by the Administrative Agent. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever with respect to a Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not a Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted under a Borrower’s Authority Documents, Applicable Law, under any other applicable document or agreement or otherwise.

     (f) Additional Collateral.

     (i) In order to increase the Availability under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, subject to the terms of thisSubsection 2.1(f), approve certain Eligible Assets to be included in the Additional Collateral included in the Collateral hereunder (the date of any such approval and pledge hereunder, the “Pledge Date”). The addition of any Additional Collateral to the Collateral pool shall be permitted in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, in accordance with the terms of thisSubsection 2.1(f).

     (ii) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein and without duplication, all of the terms, provisions, requirements, deliveries, representations, warranties, covenants, duties, liabilities, defaults, rights, remedies and agreements that are contained in or required by the Arbor Credit Documents and apply in any way to the Mortgage Assets and related Purchased Items under the Arbor Credit Facility (as opposed to the Arbor Credit Facility generally) shall, unless waived in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to a written request of the Borrowers, be equally applicable to the Mortgage Assets and the related Collateral under this Agreement, with all of the necessary changes having been or deemed to have been made to such terms, provisions, requirements, deliveries, representations, warranties, covenants, duties, liabilities, defaults, rights, remedies and agreements as necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (A) the terms Deficit, Notice of Borrowing, Table Funded Mortgaged Asset and Table Funded Trust Receipt contained in the Arbor Credit Facility, (B) the provisions ofSections 2.5 and2.9 of the Arbor Credit Agreement andSchedule 1-A to the Arbor Credit Facility Fee Letter shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the terms of the financing of any Additional Collateral may be set forth in the related Confirmation and such terms shall be controlling over any contrary terms in this Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Loan Document.

     (iii) To the extent the Borrowers desire to include any Mortgage Asset as a part of the Additional Collateral under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers shall make a written request to the Administrative Agent and, in connection therewith, provide the Administrative Agent with the Underwriting Package and Seller-Asset Schedule for such Mortgage Asset and such other information as the Administrative Agent may require in its

First Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement

32

discretion.

The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent in its discretion may reject any Mortgage Asset for inclusion as a part of the Additional Collateral for any reason or no reason whatsoever. The Administrative Agent’s failure to respond to a request to include a Mortgage Asset as a part of the Additional Collateral shall be deemed to be a denial of such a request and the rejection of such Mortgage Asset. Upon the issuance of a Trust Receipt by the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Asset that is an Eligible Asset and approved by the Administrative Agent in its discretion, a Mortgage Asset shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Additional Collateral under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     (g) Tax Law Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, if there is a Tax Law Change, the Commitment Period shall automatically terminate, no further Loans shall be made, the Facility Maturity Date will be deemed to occur one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the enactment date of such Tax Law Change and the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders all Aggregate Unpaids and all other amounts owed hereunder or under the other Loan Documents within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days of the enactment date of such Tax Law Change;provided,however, the foregoing shall not affect or impair the Administrative Agent’s rights to accelerate the Obligations and to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents (other than with respect to a foreclosure on the impacted Pledged Collateral) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     (h) Expiration of Commitment Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Commitment Period has expired on or prior to the Restatement Date. As such, no additional Loans may be made to the Borrowers after the Restatement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan made on or prior to the Restatement Date shall be a “Loan” hereunder.

     Section 2.2Mandatory Prepayments.

     (a) The Borrowers shall pay the following amounts upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

     Section 2.8Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

     (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the date a Loan is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to (but shall not be required to) make available to) the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the

Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to, (i) if payable by the Borrowers, the Rate, and (ii) if payable by a Lender, the Federal Funds Rate.

     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrowers, prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrowers do not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrowers have made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to the Rate.

     (c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Borrowers or any Lender with respect to any amount owing under thisSection 2.8 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     Section 2.9Payments by Borrowers.

     (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrowers hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account and, if not received before such time, shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

     (c) If (i) any Loan requested by the Borrowers and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent is not, for any reason, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, (ii) the Borrowers fail to pay the principal amount of or any Interest on any Loan in accordance with the

     Section 2.11Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

     (a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (ii) the compliance by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall (A) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on, or Taxes one or more of the alternative bases for which are, the overall net income of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party, and except for franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof), duty or other charge with respect to any ownership interest in the Collateral, or any right to enter into Loans hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (B) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party or (C) impose any other condition affecting the ownership interest in the Collateral conveyed to the Administrative Agent hereunder or the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s or Affected Party’s rights hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, then within ten (10) days after demand by the Administrative Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrowers shall pay directly to the Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

     (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by the Administrative Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrowers shall pay directly to the Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, any Lender and any Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adaptation, change, request or directive subject to thisSubsection 2.11(b).

     (c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described inclause (a) or(b) of thisSection 2.11, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party in connection with this Agreement, the

other Loan Documents or the funding or maintenance of any Loan hereunder, then within ten (10) days after demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

     (d) In determining any amount provided for in thisSection 2.11, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party making a claim under thisSection 2.11 shall submit to the Borrowers a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

     (f) If, as a result of any event or circumstance described inclause (a),(b) or(c) of thisSection 2.11, the Borrowers are required to make payments to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party, the Borrowers shall have the right to elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, to convert the Rate at which the Interest accrues to the Base Rate.

     (g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers and the Guarantors hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors contained in thisSection 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Affected Party then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents after withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Affected Party, with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrowers and the Guarantors under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, by a taxing jurisdiction in which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Affected Party is organized, conducts business or is paying taxes (as the case may be).

     (b) The Borrowers and the Guarantors will indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Affected Party for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrowers or the Guarantors.

     (d) If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Affected Party is created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Affected Party shall deliver to the Borrowers, within fifteen (15) days after the date hereof (or the date on which a Lender or Affected Party becomes a party hereto), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws). If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Affected Party is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Affected Party shall deliver to the Borrowers, (i) within fifteen (15) days after the date hereof (or the date on which a Lender or Affected Party becomes a party hereto), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, to permit the Borrowers and Guarantors to make payments hereunder for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Affected Parties without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes, and (ii) upon the obsolescence of, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to thisSection 2.12, copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws or regulations) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws or regulations to permit the Borrowers and Guarantor to make payments hereunder and under the Loan Documents for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Affected Parties without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes.

     (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers and the Guarantors hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors contained in thisSection 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

     Section 2.13Designation of a Different Lending Office.

     If any Lender requests compensation underSection 2.11, or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant toSection 2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.11 or2.12, as the case may be, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

     Section 2.14Usury.

     It is the intent of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lenders and the Borrowers are hereby limited by the provisions of thisSection 2.14, which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including, but not limited to, prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any

First Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement
(Wachovia and Arbor)

42

Obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement, under the Revolving Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any possible construction of any of the Loan Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of thisSection 2.14 and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under Applicable Law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans under Applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrowers or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other Obligations does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by Applicable Law.

     Section 2.15No Additional Collateral. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation,Subsections 2.1(f) and 2.2(a)(i)), Additional Collateral (i) will not be considered by the Administrative Agent for inclusion in the Collateral underSubsection 2.1(f) of the Agreement or any other provision of the Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) is not (as of the Restatement Date) and may not be pledged as Collateral for the Loans, (iii) will not be included in the calculation of Availability and (iv) may not be pledged to cure any negative Availability underSubsection 2.2(a)(i).

The Administrative Agent shall (except upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates and Consolidated Subsidiaries) give notice to the Borrowers of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

     (iv) At any time after the second (2nd) Business Day following notice to the Borrowers (which notice may be the notice given underSubsection 10.2(a)(i)), in the event the Borrowers have not paid all Aggregate Unpaids and other Obligations (but only to the extent that an event of default, an event that, with the notice or the lapse of time, would become an event of default, or any acceleration has occurred with respect to such other Obligations), the Administrative Agent may (A) immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably satisfactory any or all Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to the Aggregate Unpaids and the other Obligations (but only to the extent that an event of default, an event that, with the notice or the lapse of time, would become an event of default, or any acceleration has occurred with respect to such other Obligations) in accordance with the priorities set forth inSection 2.7, or (B) in its discretion, elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Collateral, to give the Borrowers credit for such Collateral in an amount equal to the market value of the Collateral against the Aggregate Unpaids and any other Obligations (but only to the extent that an event of default, an event that, with the notice or the lapse of time, would become an event of default, or any acceleration has occurred with respect to such other Obligations). The proceeds of any disposition of Collateral shall be applied first to the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the default; second to the costs of related covering

     (v) The Borrowers and the Guarantors agree that the Administrative Agent may obtain an injunction or an order of specific performance to compel the Borrowers and the Guarantors to fulfill any of their obligations as set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents if the Borrowers or Guarantors fail or refuse to perform their obligations as set forth herein or therein.

     (vi) The Borrowers shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, payable as and when incurred by the Administrative Agent, for (A) the amount of all reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses, including legal or other expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, and (B) all reasonable costs incurred in connection with hedging or covering transactions.

     (b) The Administrative Agent may exercise one or more of the remedies available to the Administrative Agent immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided inSubsections 10.2(a)(i) and10.2(a)(iv), at any time thereafter without notice to the Borrowers or the Guarantors.

The Borrowers and the Guarantors also waive any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) any Borrower and/or any Guarantor might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, or from any other election of remedies. The Borrowers and the Guarantors recognize that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s-length.

     (d) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrowers shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for interest on any amounts owing by the Borrowers hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or otherwise, from the date the Borrowers become liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by the Borrowers or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent under thisSubsection 10.2(d) shall accrue interest from and after the date of the Event of Default (but only during the continuance of that Event of Default) at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

     (e) In addition to the rights under thisSection 10.2, the Administrative Agent shall have the following additional rights if an Event of Default occurs:

     The Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Guarantors agree and acknowledge that the Collateral includes collateral that may decline rapidly in value. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, the

     Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers or the Guarantors, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and Guarantors and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the Guarantors.

     Section 12.8The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

     The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers and Guarantors as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

     Section 12.9Successor Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders provided there exists at such time Lenders other than the Initial Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, whereupon such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Revolving Notes. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall have the right, on behalf of the Lenders, to appoint a successor administrative agent;provided, that such successor administrative agent has minimum capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent within sixty (60) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor administrative agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of thisArticle XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

     Section 12.10Other Administrative Agents.

     None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, “documentation agent”, “co-agent”, “book manager”, “book runner”, “lead manager”, “arranger”, “lead arranger” or “co-arranger”, if applicable, shall have any right (except as expressly set forth herein), power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such.
