The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of a Borrower, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.13(a).
2.15Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
37
(as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
2.16Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrowers on account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be madeprorata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lendersprorata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(b) Each mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.10 to be applied to Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Facilitiesprorata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of Term Loans under such Facilities. Each optional prepayment in respect of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Facilitiesprorata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of Term Loans under such Facilities, except in the case of the prepayment and replacement of the Term Loans under any Facility in the circumstances described in the last paragraph of Section 10.1. Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of the Term Loans outstanding under any Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loansprorata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to the installments of such Term Loansprorata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 2.6, each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be madeprorata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders (and pro rata to the R-1 Revolving Credit Loans and R-2 Revolving Credit Loans of the Revolving Credit Lenders based on the respective amounts thereof). Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.
(d) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made,first, to Base Rate Loans under such
38
Facility and,second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.
(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrowers after 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrowers.
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrowers prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrowers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers are making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respectiveprorata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made
39
available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers.
(h) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
2.17Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be
40
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.18Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement;provided,however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e) or (f) of this Section, (ii) that are attributable to the certifications made in the forms delivered by such Lender pursuant to (d), (e) or (f) of this Section being untrue or inaccurate on the date delivered in any material respect or (iii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a).
(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If a Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(c), the Borrowers shall not be obligated to indemnify any Agent or any Lender for any portion of such incremental taxes, interest or penalties accruing on such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such liability is attributable to a failure or delay by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in making demand for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes.

in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility of such Non-U.S. Lender for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.18(d), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(e) Upon a Borrower’s reasonable request, each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form).

(g) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
42
expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) by the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
2.19Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by a Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by a Borrower in making any prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.20Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.19.
2.21Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18(b) or 2.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by
43
such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event;provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, andprovided,further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18(b) or 2.20.

2.23Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees that, during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, it will make available to the Borrowers in the form of swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Commitments;provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect or such Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrowers shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
3.2Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Each Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to an Issuing Lender, the relevant Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the relevant Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the relevant Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the face amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance.

(a) The Borrowers will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to 1.50%, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it equal to a percentage to be agreed upon between the relevant Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
3.4L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
49
for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder (including any interest payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.5). Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (including any interest payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.5). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in SECTION 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount,times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender,times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of an Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant’spro
50
rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) itsprorata share thereof;provided,however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to such Issuing Lender) the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.
3.5Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender, on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.13(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.13(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrowers, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.24 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.24), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.
3.6Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this SECTION 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrowers may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a
51
final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to such Borrower.

The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this SECTION 3, the provisions of this SECTION 3 shall apply.

(a) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2009 (including the notes thereto) (the “Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender. The Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrowers as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated combined financial position of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2009, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.
(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of MAPCO Express and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Ernst & Young LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of MAPCO Express and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation,
52
any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2008 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of any material part of their business or Property.
4.2No Change. Since December 31, 2008 there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to borrow hereunder.

Subject to Schedule 4.4 of the Existing Credit Agreement, no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto.

4.5No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any material Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the
53
Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6No Material Litigation.

All payments due from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period on the assets of a Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. None of the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither of the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if a Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent.

SECTION 9.THE AGENTS
9.1Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.
9.2Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be
79
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
9.3Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
80
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement);provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 Loan Parties and their affiliates 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 any 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 the other Loan Documents, 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 Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of each Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable
81
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
9.9Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under SECTION 8(a) or SECTION 8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor 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 Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this SECTION 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.10Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.
9.11The Arranger; the Syndication Agent; the Co-Administrative Agent. Neither the Arranger, the Syndication Agent nor the Co-Administrative Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person incur any liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
82

(iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the consent of all of the Lenders under such Facility;

In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
10.4Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
10.5Payment of Expenses. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the charges of Intralinks, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by an Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of
87
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned, occupied or operated by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any violation of, non-compliance with or liability under any Environmental Laws related in any way to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any or their respective properties, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”),provided, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution from the Lenders or any other rights of recovery from the Lenders with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee,provided that, such waiver shall not apply if, and to the extent, such claim for contribution or recovery arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as found by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the president and the chief financial officer of each Borrower, at the address of MAPCO Express set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrowers in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.6Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither of the Borrowers may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender.
(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
88
performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff 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,provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a), as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender;provided that, in the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section (including the requirements of Section 2.18(d) or Section 2.18(e) as applicable, as though it were a Lender), andprovided,further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided the consent of the Borrowers need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Term Loans), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register;provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof, including any Related Fund) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any commitments or Loans) shall have commitments and Loans aggregating at least $1,000,000, in each case, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee
89
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, while assignments may be made by Extending Lenders to Non-Extending Lenders and vice versa, in no event shall the terms and provisions of this Agreement relating to any particular Class of Loans or Commitments, or the tenor or other attributes of such Loan or Commitment, change solely by reason of the change of ownership of the applicable Loan or Commitment.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans 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 Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall update the Register on the Second Restatement Effective Date to reflect the Revolving Credit Commitments (including R-1 Revolving Credit Commitments and R-2 Revolving Credit Commitments) and the Term Loans, in each case, of the Lenders after giving effect to this Agreement.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the
90
Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrowers. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrowers, at their own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Second Restatement Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.
(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement;provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC;provided that non-public information with respect to any Borrower may be
91
disclosed only with such Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.
10.7Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in SECTION 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders;provided,however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by each Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender,provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
10.9Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.10Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders with respect to the subject
92
matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. The foregoing notwithstanding, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Resignation Agreement, including, without limitation, the amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement effectuated by Section 6 thereof, shall remain in full force and effect from and after the Second Restatement Effective Date notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be deemed amended in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 6 of the Resignation Agreement.
10.11GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
10.12Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
10.13Acknowledgments. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b) neither the Arranger, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrowers arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
93
any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders or among the Borrowers and the Lenders.
10.14Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential;provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arranger, any Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
10.15Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrowers in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, upon request of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of
94
Specified Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
10.16Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrowers’ financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.
10.17Intentionally Omitted.
10.18WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

10.20Effect of Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. On the Second Restatement Effective Date, except to the extent expressly provided in the second sentence of Section 10.10 hereof, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit
95
Agreement as in effect prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date, (b) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement and (c) upon the effectiveness of this Agreement all Loans of Lenders outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately before the effectiveness of this Agreement will be and become Loans hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
10.21Lehman Default Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any Loan document, during any Lehman Default Period:
(a) Lehman, its Affiliates and its Related Funds shall have no voting or consent rights or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Credit Lender” (or be included in the numerator or the denominator of the calculation of “Required Lenders” or “Majority Facility Lenders” (with respect to the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, Total Revolving Extensions of Credit and Term Loans)) with respect to any waiver, amendment, consent or other modification relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent the terms of such amendment, consent or modification would increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of Lehman (or its Affiliates or Related Funds) or result in Lehman (or its Affiliates or Related Funds, as the case may be) not being treated ratably with all other Lenders similarly situated;
(b) Commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of Lehman (or its Affiliates or Related Fund) pursuant to Section 2.7(a); and
(c) Lehman, its Affiliates and its Related Funds, shall not be entitled to receive payment of any such commitment fees or any other fees payable to the Lenders.
The Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender (other than Lehman) shall be responsible for the failure of Lehman (or its Affiliates or Related Funds) to make any Loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required hereunder. The failure of Lehman (or its Affiliates or Related Funds) to make any Loan or any payment required by it hereunder, or to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it on the date specified therefore shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan or fund the purchase of any such participation on such date.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Mortgaged Property and the rights and privileges hereby granted unto Mortgagee, its successors and assigns for the uses and purposes set forth, until the Obligations are fully paid and fully performed.
This Mortgage covers present and future advances and re-advances, in the aggregate amount of the obligations secured hereby, made by the Secured Parties for the benefit of Mortgagor, and the lien of such future advances and re-advances shall relate back to the date of this Mortgage.
Terms and Conditions
Mortgagor further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with Mortgagee and the Secured Parties as follows:
1.Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein (including in the “Background” and “Granting Clauses” sections above) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. References in this Mortgage to the “Default Rate” shall mean the interest rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.13(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement. References herein to the “Secured Parties” shall mean the collective reference to (i) Mortgagee, (ii) the Lenders (including any Issuing Lender in its capacity as Issuing Lender), (iii) each Qualified Counterparty, and (iv) the respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns of each of the foregoing.
2.Warranty of Title. Mortgagor warrants that it has good record title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the Real Estate, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the rest of the Mortgaged Property, subject only to the matters that are set forth in Schedule B of the title insurance policy or policies being issued to Mortgagee to insure the lien of this Mortgage
4
and any other lien or encumbrance as permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement (the “Permitted Exceptions”). Mortgagor shall warrant, defend and preserve such title and the lien of this Mortgage against all claims of all persons and entities (not including the holders of the Permitted Exceptions). Mortgagor represents and warrants that (a) it has the right to mortgage the Mortgaged Property; (b) the Mortgaged Leases are in full force and effect and Mortgagor is the holder of the lessee’s or tenant’s interest thereunder; (c) the Mortgaged Leases have not been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, except as may be specifically described in Schedule B attached to this Mortgage or as otherwise notified in writing to the Mortgagee; (d) Mortgagor has paid all rents and other charges to the extent due and payable under the Mortgaged Leases (except to the extent Mortgagor is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings any such rents and other charges in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the relevant Mortgaged Lease), is not in default under the Mortgaged Leases in any material respect, has received no notice of default from the lessor thereunder and knows of no material default by the lessor thereunder; and (e) the granting of this Mortgage does not violate the terms of the Mortgaged Leases nor is any consent of the lessor under the Mortgaged Leases required to be obtained in connection with the granting of this Mortgage unless such consent has been obtained.
3.Payment of Obligations. Mortgagor shall pay and perform the Obligations at the times and places and in the manner specified in the Loan Documents.
4.Requirements.
(a) Subject to the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall promptly comply with, or cause to be complied with, and conform to all Requirements of Law of all Governmental Authorities which have jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property, and all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or later of record which may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property, or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any of the Mortgaged Property, except to the extent that failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) From and after the date of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any Requirement of Law; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent, restrict or otherwise limit any such reliance to the extent existing on of the date of this Mortgage to fulfill any Requirement of Law. Mortgagor shall not by act or omission impair the integrity of any of the Real Estate as a single zoning lot separate and apart from all other premises.
5.Payment of Taxes and Other Impositions. Promptly when due or prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto or imposed, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge all taxes, charges and assessments of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, all real property taxes), all charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the Real Estate, all general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, vault taxes, and all other public charges
5
even if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on any of the Real Estate, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof, together with any penalties or interest on any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing are collectively referred to as “Impositions”). If there is an Event of Default which is continuing, Mortgagor shall within 30 days after each due date deliver to Mortgagee (i) original or copies of receipted bills and cancelled checks evidencing payment of such Imposition if it is a real estate tax or other public charge and (ii) evidence reasonable acceptable to Mortgagee showing the payment of any other such Imposition. If by law any Imposition, at Mortgagor’s option, may be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Mortgagor may elect to pay such Imposition in such installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such installments with interest, if any.
(a) If the Mortgagee has failed to pay an Imposition within thirty (30) days of when it is due, Mortgagee with notice to Mortgagor may pay any such Imposition at any time thereafter. Any sums paid by Mortgagee in discharge of any Impositions shall be payable on demand by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and the amount so paid shall be added to the Obligations. Any sums paid by Mortgagee in discharge of any Impositions shall be (i) a lien on the Premises secured hereby prior to any right or title to, interest in, or claim upon the Premises subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage, and (ii) payable on demand by Mortgagor to Mortgagee together with interest at the Default Rate.
(b) Mortgagor shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object in good faith to the amount or validity of any Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but such right shall not be deemed or construed with respect to any material Imposition, in any way as relieving, modifying, or extending Mortgagor’s covenant to pay any such material Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this Section unless (i) Mortgagor has given prior written notice to Mortgagee of Mortgagor’s intent so to contest or object to a material Imposition, (ii) Mortgagor shall demonstrate to Mortgagee’s reasonable satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall operate conclusively to prevent the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to satisfy such material Imposition prior to final determination of such proceedings and (iii) Mortgagor shall either (x) furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee or (y) maintain adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP on Mortgagor’s books, in each case in the amount of the material Imposition which is being contested plus any interest and penalty which may be imposed thereon and which could become a lien against the Real Estate or any part of the Mortgaged Property.
6.Insurance.
(a) Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be maintained on all of the Premises:
(i) property insurance against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, water damage, flood, earthquake and by such other further risks and hazards as now are or subsequently may be covered by an “all risk” policy or a fire policy covering “special” causes of loss, and the policy limits shall be automatically reinstated after each loss;
6
(ii) commercial general liability insurance under a policy including the “broad form CGL endorsement” (or which incorporates the language of such endorsement), covering claims for personal injury, bodily injury or death, or property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises in an amount not less than $10,000,000 combined single limit (which $10,000,000 requirement may be satisfied through the purchase of primary or excess liability coverage) with respect to injury and property damage relating to any one occurrence plus such excess limits as Mortgagee shall request from time to time;
(iii) insurance against rent loss, extra expense or business interruption in amounts satisfactory to Mortgagee, but not less than one year’s gross rent or gross income; and
(iv) such other insurance in such amounts as Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time against loss or damage by any other risk commonly insured against by persons occupying or using like properties in the locality or localities in which the Real Estate is situated.
(b) Each property insurance policy shall (x) provide that it shall not be cancelled, non-renewed or materially amended without 30-days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee, and (y) with respect to all property insurance, provide for deductibles in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, and contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement” without any deduction made for depreciation and with no co-insurance penalty (or attaching an agreed amount endorsement satisfactory to Mortgagee), without contribution, under a “standard” or “New York” mortgagee clause acceptable to Mortgagee, subject to Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement. Liability insurance policies shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured and contain a waiver of subrogation against Mortgagee. Each policy of property insurance shall expressly provide that any proceeds which are payable to Mortgagee shall be paid by check payable to the order of Mortgagee only and requiring the endorsement of Mortgagee only.
(c) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a certificate of such insurance reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall (i) pay as they become due all premiums for such insurance and (ii) not later than 15 days prior to the expiration of each policy to be furnished pursuant to the provisions of this Section, deliver a renewed policy or policies, or duplicate original or originals thereof, marked “premium paid,” or accompanied by such other evidence of payment satisfactory to Mortgagee.
(d) If Mortgagor is in default of its obligations to insure or deliver any such prepaid policy or policies, then Mortgagee, at its option and with notice to Mortgagor, may effect such insurance from year to year, and pay the premium or premiums therefor, and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand such premium or premiums so paid by Mortgagee with interest from the time of payment at the Default Rate.
(e) Mortgagor promptly shall comply with and conform to (i) all material provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all requirements of the insurers applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property or to the use, manner of use,
7
occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would not allow the Mortgagor to obtain the insurance policies required pursuant to this Section 6.
(f) If the Mortgaged Property, or any material part thereof, shall be destroyed or damaged, Mortgagor shall give notice thereof to Mortgagee. All insurance proceeds shall be paid and applied pursuant to Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but expressly subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall have the right to adjust such loss, and the insurance proceeds relating to such loss shall be paid over to Mortgagor.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to the Mortgagee, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.
(h) Mortgagor may maintain insurance required under this Mortgage by means of one or more blanket insurance policies maintained by Mortgagor; provided, however, that (A) any such policy shall specify, or Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee a written statement from the insurer so specifying, the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by such blanket policy that is allocated to the Premises and the other Mortgaged Property and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Premises and the other Mortgaged Property, (B) each such blanket policy shall include an endorsement providing that, in the event of a loss resulting from an insured peril, insurance proceeds shall be allocated to the Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to the coverages required to be maintained by Mortgagor as provided above and (C) the protection afforded under any such blanket policy shall be no less than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy or policies as required hereunder relating only to the Mortgaged Property.
7.Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, and except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement or this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, further mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the Mortgaged Property nor create or suffer to exist any lien, charge or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and whether recourse or non-recourse.
8.Due on Sale and Other Transfer Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, sell, transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Mortgaged Property.
9.Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Subject to the Credit Agreement, upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered by Mortgagor to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation and to receive all awards and
8
proceeds thereof to be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but expressly subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement, (i) Mortgagor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any proceeding relating to such condemnation, (ii) Mortgagor may settle or compromise any claims in connection therewith and (iii) Mortgagor may receive any awards or proceeds thereof, provided that Mortgagor shall (a) in the event of a partial taking of an individual Mortgaged Property and to the extent reasonable possible promptly repair and restore the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property to its condition prior to such condemnation, regardless of whether any award shall have been received or whether such award is sufficient to pay for the costs of such repair and restoration or, in the alternative, have the landlord of any leasehold Mortgaged Property repair and restore same in accordance with the applicable provisions of the applicable Mortgaged Lease, or (b) otherwise comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the disposition of Net Cash Proceeds from a Recovery Event or otherwise.
10.Leases. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not (a) execute an assignment or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property other than in favor of Mortgagee, or (b) without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, execute or permit to exist any Lease of any of the Mortgaged Property.
11.Further Assurances. To further assure Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees upon written demand of Mortgagee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in the Mortgaged Property and a separate assignment of each Lease in recordable form) as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee to confirm the lien of this Mortgage and all other rights or benefits conferred on Mortgagee by this Mortgage.
12.Mortgagee’s Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor contained herein, within the applicable grace period, if any, provided for in the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this Mortgage may (but shall be under no obligation to), at any time upon delivery of written notice to Mortgagor pay or perform the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall be due on demand from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor’s default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.
13.Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee may
9
determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:
(i) This Mortgage shall be subject to foreclosure and may be foreclosed as provided by law in case of past-due mortgages, and Mortgagee shall be authorized, at its option, whether or not possession of the Mortgaged Property is taken, to sell the Mortgaged Property (or such part of parts thereof as Mortgagee may from time to time elect to sell) under the power of sale which is hereby given to Mortgagee, at public outcry, to the highest bidder for cash, at the front or main door of the courthouse of the county in which the Mortgaged Property to be sold, or a substantial or material part thereof, is located, after first giving notice by publication one a week for three successive weeks of the time, place and terms of such sale, together with a description of the Mortgaged Property to be sold, by publication in some newspaper published in the county or counties in which the Mortgaged Property to be sold is located. If there is Mortgaged Property to be sold in more than one county, publication shall be made in all counties where the Mortgaged Property to be sold is located, but if no newspaper is published in any such county, the notice shall be published in a newspaper published in an adjoining county for three successive weeks. The sale shall be held between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the day designated for the exercise of the power of sale hereunder. Mortgagee may bid at any sale held under this Mortgage and may purchase the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, if the highest bidder therefor. The purchaser at any such sale shall be under no obligation to see to the proper application of the purchase money. At any sale all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, real, personal, or mixed, may be offered for sale in parcels or en masse for one total price, and the proceeds of any such sale en masse shall be accounted for in one amount without distinction between the items included therein and without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, Mortgagor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshalling or like proceeding. In case Mortgagee, in the exercise of the power of sale herein given, elects to sell the Mortgaged Property in parts or parcels, sales thereof may be held from time to time, and the power of sale granted herein shall not be fully exercised until all of the Mortgaged Property not previously sold shall have been sold or all the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Mortgage shall have been terminated as provided herein. In case of any sale of the Mortgaged Property as authorized by this paragraph, all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been performed, and in any conveyance given hereunder all statements of facts, or other recitals therein made, as to the nonpayment of any of the Obligations or as to the advertisement of sale, or the time, place and manner of sale, or as to any other fact or thing, shall be taken in all courts of law or equity as rebuttably presumptive evidence that the facts so stated or recited are true.
(ii) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of judicial foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or (B) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents as the law may
10
allow. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest thereon at the applicable Default Rate or a lesser amount if required by law and all costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee hereunder from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment.
(iii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease subject to the rights of any existing tenants and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.
(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held as more particularly described in Section 14(a)(i).
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default resulting from any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.
(d) It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property received by Mortgagee shall be held by Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in the manner and in the order set forth in Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
14.Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of
11
judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid.
15.Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral or the interest of Mortgagor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
16.Extension, Release, etc.
(a) Without affecting the lien or charge created by this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.
(b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien created by this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.
(c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien created by this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights,
12
or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such foreclosure will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien created by this Mortgage.
(d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that Mortgagee’s interest in this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.
17.Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under this Mortgage, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations secured hereby are paid in full, but Mortgagee hereby waive the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under this Mortgage; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Mortgage by giving not less than five days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits and such Rents. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).
(b) Mortgagor will not affirmatively do any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.
(c) Except for any matter disclosed in the Credit Agreement, no action has been brought or, to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.
19.Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate mortgage on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate mortgage join any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void.
20.Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement to Mortgagor and to Mortgagee as specified therein.
14
21.No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.
22.Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.
23.Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights.
(a) Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights to retain possession of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights or redemption of each constituent of Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute. Each constituent of Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but shall permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by Mortgagee of the power of sale, or other rights hereby created.
15
24.Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of the Obligations and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which either may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee as the case may be. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.
25.Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Lenders to extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any
16
right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.
26.Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in the sole discretion of either of them such a waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.
27.No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the beneficiary of any subordinate mortgage or the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of this Mortgage over any subordinate lien or mortgage.
28.Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located, except that Mortgagor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the Loan Documents shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of law, and for purposes of consistency, Mortgagor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Mortgage the rights of the parties to this Mortgage shall also
17
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State, without regard to principles of conflict of law.
29.Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor agent for the Lenders,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.

30.Maximum Rate of Interest. Nothing herein contained, nor in any Loan Document or transaction related thereto, shall be construed or so operate as to require Mortgagor or any person liable for the payment of the Obligations made pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to pay interest in an amount or at a rate greater than the maximum allowed by law. Should any interest or other charges in the nature of the interest paid by Mortgagor or any parties liable for the payment of the Obligations made pursuant to the Credit Agreement result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, then any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by the holder hereof, and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the principal balance, and any portion of said excess which exceeds the principal balance shall be paid by the holder hereof to Mortgagor or any parties liable for the payment of the Obligations made pursuant to the said Credit Agreement, it being the intent of the parties hereto that under no circumstances shall Mortgagor or any parties liable for the payment of the Obligations hereunder be required to pay interest in excess of the maximum rate allowed by law.
31.Mortgaged Lease Provisions.
(a) Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid all rent and other charges required under the Mortgaged Leases as and when the same are due and shall promptly and faithfully perform or cause to be performed all other material terms, obligations, covenants, conditions, agreements, indemnities, representations, warranties or liabilities of the lessee under the Mortgaged Leases. Mortgagor shall not after the date hereof, unless Mortgagor shall receive a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement reasonable acceptable to Mortgagee or except as required under the Mortgaged Leases, permit the subordination of the Mortgaged Leases to any mortgage or deed of trust and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be null and void and of no effect and shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
(b) Except as may be expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall do, or cause to be done, all things reasonable necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired all material rights of Mortgagor as lessee under the Mortgaged Leases,
18
and to prevent any default under the Mortgaged Leases. Mortgagor does hereby authorize and irrevocably appoint and constitute Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, in its name, place and stead, (i) to do and take, but without any obligation so to do, if Mortgagor fails to do so at least 5 Business Days prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period, any action which Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary or desirable to cure any default, or to prevent any imminent default, by Mortgagor under the Mortgaged Leases and (ii) to enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to take any action permitted to be taken by Mortgagee pursuant to clause (i) (in each case, with respect to all of the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii), after ten days’ notice to Mortgagor, unless Mortgagor has itself taken the action(s) in question within such ten day period), to the end that the rights of Mortgagor in and to the leasehold estate created by the Mortgaged Leases shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. All sums so expended by Mortgagee, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such expenditure, shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee promptly upon demand by Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, within 5 Business Days after written request by Mortgagee, execute and deliver to Mortgagee, or to any person designated by Mortgagee, such further instruments, agreements, powers, assignments, conveyances or the like as may be necessary to complete or perfect the interest, rights or powers of Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph.
(c) Mortgagor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the material obligations of the lessor under the Mortgaged Leases and shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any material default by either the lessor or Mortgagor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Mortgaged Leases. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee, within ten Business Days after receipt, a copy of any written notice of default or noncompliance, material demand or material complaint made by the lessor under the Mortgaged Leases. If the lessor shall deliver to Mortgagee a copy of any notice of default given to Mortgagor, such notice shall constitute full authority and protection to Mortgagee for any actions taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by Mortgagee on such notice.
(d) If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to evict Mortgagor or to recover possession of the Mortgaged Property from Mortgagor or any part thereof or interest therein or any action or proceeding otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Leases or this Mortgage shall be instituted, then Mortgagor shall, immediately after receipt deliver to Mortgagee a true and complete copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and all other pleadings and papers, however designated, served in any such action or proceeding.
(e) Mortgagor covenants and agrees that the fee title to the Leased Land and the leasehold estate created under the Mortgaged Leases shall not merge but shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Mortgagor or a third party by purchase or otherwise; and in case Mortgagor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in and to the Leased Land, the lien of this Mortgage shall, without further conveyance, simultaneously with such acquisition, be spread to cover and attach to such acquired estate and as so spread and attached shall be
19
prior to the lien of any Mortgage placed on the acquired estate after the date of this Mortgage.
(f) No release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations under the Mortgaged Leases, pursuant to the Mortgaged Leases or otherwise, shall release Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage, including its obligations to pay rent and to perform all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements of the lessee under the Mortgaged Leases.
(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, all rights of consent and approval, and all elections of Mortgagor as lessee under the Mortgaged Leases, together with the right to terminate or to modify the Mortgaged Leases, which have been assigned for collateral purposes to Mortgagee, shall automatically vest exclusively in and be exercisable solely by Mortgagee.
(h) Mortgagor will give Mortgagee prompt written notice of the commencement of any arbitration or appraisal proceeding under and pursuant to the provisions of any Mortgaged Lease involving amounts in excess of $100,000 on a present value basis. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Mortgagor may conduct such proceeding provided that (i) Mortgagee shall have the right to intervene and participate in any such proceeding, (ii) Mortgagor shall confer with Mortgagee, (iii) Mortgagor shall exercise all rights of arbitration conferred upon it by the Mortgaged Leases and (iv) Mortgagor’s selection of an arbitrator or appraiser shall be subject to prior written approval by Mortgagee; provided, however, that automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it shall be continuing, Mortgagee shall have the sole authority to conduct any such proceeding and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, in its name, place and stead, to exercise, at the expense of Mortgagor, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in connection with such proceeding, including the right to appoint arbitrators and to conduct arbitration proceedings on behalf of Mortgagor, following and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Nothing contained herein shall obligate Mortgagee to participate in such proceeding.
(i) Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee simultaneous written notice of any exercise of any option or right to renew or extend the term of a Mortgage Lease, together with a copy of the notice or other document given to the lessor, and shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of any acknowledgment by such lessor of the exercise of such option or right. Nothing contained herein shall affect or limit any rights of Mortgagor or Mortgagee granted under the Mortgaged Leases.
(j) Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand from Mortgagee, deliver to Mortgagee proof of payment of all items that are required to be paid by Mortgagor under the Mortgaged Leases, including, without limitation, rent, taxes, operating expenses and other charges.
20
(k) (i) The lien of this Mortgage shall attach to all of Mortgagor’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 365(h), as the same may hereafter be amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including, without limitation, all of Mortgagor’s rights to remain in possession of the Leased Land. Except as may be expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, elect to treat the applicable Mortgaged Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Mortgagee’s consent shall be void.
(ii) Mortgagee shall have the right, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if Mortgagor fails to do so at least 5 Business Days prior to the last day on which the Mortgagor has the right to do so, to proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Mortgaged Lease by the lessor or any other party, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute under the Bankruptcy Code, without joining or the joinder of Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents. Any amounts received by Mortgagee as damages arising out of the rejection of any Mortgaged Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of Mortgagee (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this paragraph and thereafter in accordance with Section 13(d) of this Mortgage. Mortgagor acknowledges that the assignment of all claims and rights to the payment of damages from the rejection of any Mortgaged Lease made under the granting clauses of this Mortgage constitutes a present irreversible and unconditional assignment and Mortgagor shall, at the request of Mortgagee, promptly make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, a UCC Financing Statement (Form UCC-1) and all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, as may at any time hereafter be required by Mortgagee to carry out such assignment.
(iii) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, Mortgagor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Mortgaged Leases the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor or any other party of any of their respective obligations under such Mortgaged Leases after the rejection by the lessor or such other party of such Mortgaged Leases under the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagor shall, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, prior to effecting such offset, notify Mortgagee of its intent to do so, setting forth the amount proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. In such event, Mortgagee shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, would constitute a breach of such Mortgaged Lease, and in the event of such objection, Mortgagor shall not effect any offset of the amounts found objectionable by Mortgagee. Neither Mortgagee’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Mortgagee.
21
(iv) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the lessor under any Mortgaged Lease or any other party or in respect of any such Mortgaged Lease in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagee shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from Mortgagee to Mortgagor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Mortgagee’s choice. Mortgagee may proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in connection with any such litigation, and Mortgagor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents required by Mortgagee in connection therewith. Mortgagor shall, upon demand, pay to Mortgagee all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings. Mortgagor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of any Mortgaged Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
(v) Mortgagor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify Mortgagee of any filing by or against the lessor or other party with an interest in the Real Estate of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee, following receipt, copies of any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Mortgagor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
(vi) If there shall be filed by or against Mortgagor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code and Mortgagor, as lessee under the applicable Mortgaged Lease, shall determine to reject such Mortgaged Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee not less than 20 days’ prior notice of the date on which Mortgagor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject such Mortgaged Lease. Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Mortgagor within such twenty (20) day period a notice stating that Mortgagee demands that Mortgagor apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to assume and assign such Mortgaged Lease to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. If Mortgagee shall serve upon Mortgagor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Mortgagor shall not seek to reject such Mortgaged Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence. In addition, effective upon the entry of an order for relief with respect to Mortgagor under the Bankruptcy Code, Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to Mortgagee a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court under subsection 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which such Mortgaged Lease may be rejected or assumed.
(l) Mortgagor shall request and use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to Mortgagee, from time to time upon receipt of reasonable notice from Mortgagee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, an estoppel
22
certificate from the lessor under any Mortgaged Leases with respect to such Mortgaged Lease.
(m) If any Mortgaged Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term, and if, pursuant to any provision of such Mortgaged Lease or otherwise, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from the lessor under such Mortgaged Lease a new lease of the Real Estate or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal privileges therein contained.
(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that any covenant or other obligation of Mortgagor contained herein shall be expressly imposed upon the lessor under any Mortgaged Lease pursuant to the provisions thereof, Mortgagor shall not be deemed to be in default of such obligation or covenant with respect to such portion of the Premises as is covered by such Mortgaged Lease, provided that Mortgagor shall be using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such obligations of such lessor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Mortgaged Lease.
32.Release. If any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by Mortgagor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Mortgaged Property shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Mortgage without further action on the part of Mortgagor, Mortgagee or the Lenders, and shall cease to constitute collateral hereunder, and then Mortgagee, at the request and sole expense of Mortgagor, shall execute and deliver to Mortgagor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Mortgaged Property. No consent of any Qualified Counterparty shall be required for any release of Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 32.
33.Last Dollars Secured; Priority. To the extent that this Mortgage secures only a portion of the indebtedness owing or which may become owing by Mortgagor to the Secured Parties, the parties agree that any payments or repayments of such indebtedness shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until such lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.
34.Household Purposes. The money, property or services that are the subject of the transactions provided for in the Credit Agreement are not primarily for personal, family or household purposes as contemplated by Section 5-19-1(2) of the Code of Alabama 1975, as amended.
35.Receipt of Copy. The Mortgagor acknowledges that it has received a true copy of this Mortgage.
This Mortgage has been duly executed by Mortgagor as of the date first set forth above.

and
Each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement,
as hereafter defined
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to MAPCO EXPRESS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Gasoline Associated Services, Inc., an Alabama corporation (“GAS”), and Liberty Wholesale Co., Inc., an Alabama corporation (“Liberty”), in connection with the transactions that are the subject of the Credit Agreement, as hereinafter defined. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement. This opinion letter is provided to you at the request of the Borrower pursuant to subsection 5.1(q) of the Credit Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined:
(1) that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 10, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”), and FIFTH THIRD BANK, an Ohio banking corporation, successor by merger with FIFTH THIRD BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”);
(2) that certain Reaffirmation and First Amendment to Parent Subordination Agreement (with respect to Calfee Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness) of even date with the Credit Agreement, by and among Holdings, the Borrower and Administrative Agent (the “Parent Subordination Reaffirmation”);
November 7, 2003

(3) that certain Reaffirmation and First Amendment to Subordination Agreement (with respect to MFC Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness) of even date with the Credit Agreement, by and among Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Subordination Reaffirmation”);
(4) that certain Master Reaffirmation Agreement of even date with the Credit Agreement, by the Borrower, Holdings, GAS and Liberty (the “Security Reaffirmation”);
(5) those certain Mortgage Amendments (as defined and described on Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference);
(6) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Borrower, formerly known as Delek Services, Inc., as amended to date , on file with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Certificate of Incorporation”);
(7) the By-Laws of the Borrower, formerly known as Delek Services, Inc., adopted on April 10, 2001, as amended to date by that certain Amendment to By-Laws of the Borrower dated July 30, 2002 and that certain Amendment No 2 to By-Laws of the Borrower dated March 25, 2003 (the “Bylaws”); and
(8) a certificate of good standing for the Borrower dated as of December 1, 2009, issued by the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Certificate of Good Standing”).
The Credit Agreement, the Parent Subordination Reaffirmation, the Subordination Reaffirmation, the Security Reaffirmation and the Mortgage Amendments are sometimes herein referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents”.
The Borrower, Holdings, GAS and Liberty are sometimes herein referred to collectively as the "Loan Parties” and individually as a “Loan Party”.
We have also reviewed such other corporate records of the Borrower, such other certificates of public officials and such other matters regarding the Borrower as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion letter. As to factual matters, we have assumed the correctness of and relied upon statements and other representations and warranties of the Borrower and the officers thereof set forth in the Transaction Documents and in certificates provided pursuant to or in connection with the Transaction Documents or otherwise provided to us, and upon certificates of public officials, and we have made no independent inquiries or investigations. For purposes of the opinions on the existence and good standing of the Borrower, we have relied solely upon the Certificate of Good Standing.
November 7, 2003
Page 3
In making such examination and in expressing our opinions, we have further assumed, without investigation or inquiry:
(a) the due organization and existence of all parties to the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that we express an opinion inParagraph 1 below regarding the existence of the Borrower,
(b) the legal capacity of all natural persons,
(c) the due authorization of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto, except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the authorization of the Transaction Documents by the Borrower,
(d) the due execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto, except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 2 below regarding the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Borrower,
(e) that all parties to the Transaction Documents have the legal right, power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the corporate power and corporate authority of the Borrower,
(f) that all signatures on any executed documents furnished to us are genuine (other than signatures by or on behalf of the Loan Parties), all original documents submitted to us are authentic originals and all certified or other reproductions of documents submitted to us conform to the original documents, and
(g) that the indebtedness incurred and obligations undertaken pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been incurred and undertaken for adequate consideration.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications herein set forth, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Borrower is a validly existing Delaware corporation, in good standing under the laws of Delaware. The Borrower has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to enter into and perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance and observance of the provisions thereof have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate actions on the part of the Borrower.
2. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower.
November 7, 2003
Page 4
3. Each of the Transaction Documents, as executed and delivered, to which a Loan Party is a party is a valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, and is enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.
4. The execution, delivery and, where applicable, recording, of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the financing transaction that is the subject thereof, (a) do not violate any federal or Tennessee statute or regulation or the General Corporation Law of Delaware, (b) do not contravene the Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbitrator known to us specifically directed to any Loan Party and do not constitute a default under or breach of the terms of, or an event that, with the lapse of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under or breach of, or require the consent (which has not been obtained) of any person under the terms of, any contract to which the Borrower is a party or by which any of its property is bound and that is identified onSchedule 2 to this opinion, and (c) will not impair the effectiveness of any financing statement naming the Borrower as a debtor that has been centrally filed in Delaware under the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code (the “Delaware UCC”) in connection with the transactions that are the subject of the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Credit Agreement.
5. No authorization, consent, approval or other action by or filing with any federal, Tennessee or Delaware governmental authority is required for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Loan Parties.
6. No Loan Party is required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
7. Assuming that the Borrower applies the proceeds of the Loans as provided in the Credit Agreement, the Loans do not violate the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
8. Assuming that immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the Tennessee Deed of Trust Amendments, each corresponding Deed of Trust (as defined on Schedule 3) was effective as a lien upon, security title to and security interest in the Borrower’s interest in the real property described in such Deed of Trust, the effectiveness of each Deed of Trust as a lien upon, security title to and security interest in such property and interests in property will not be adversely affected by the execution, delivery or recording its corresponding Tennessee Deed of Trust Amendment and, following such execution, delivery and recording, such Deed of Trust, as amended by its corresponding Tennessee Deed of Trust Amendment, will continue to be effective as a lien upon, security title to and security interest in such property and interests in property, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
We hereby confirm that, to our knowledge, there are no suits, actions or proceedings against the Loan Parties, pending or overtly threatened in writing, before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, that seek to affect the enforceability of the Transaction Documents.
November 7, 2003
Page 5
We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the choice of law provisions contained in the Transaction Documents under the laws of New York or Tennessee, nor, assuming such provisions would be enforceable under the choice-of-law principles of New York and Tennessee, do we state any opinion as to the enforceability of the Transaction Documents under the internal laws of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you have requested us to examine the Transaction Documents and provide you with the opinions set forth above assuming, solely for purposes of such opinions, that the internal laws of Tennessee would govern them. If the Transaction Documents were to be governed by the internal laws of Tennessee, our opinions would be as set forth herein. We note that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines one or more of the Transaction Documents to be unenforceable under the laws of New York, then such Loan Document(s) may not be enforced by Tennessee courts under applicable Tennessee conflict of law principles.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of Tennessee, the General Corporation Law of Delaware (as to matters of corporate law addressed in opinions inParagraphs 1, 4, 7 and8), Article 9 of the Delaware UCC (as to matters of secured transaction law addressed inParagraph 4(c)) and the federal laws of the United States of America. We advise you, however, that we are members of the Bar of the State of Tennessee, and we are not members of the Bar of Delaware. Accordingly, to the extent that opinions regarding existence, corporate power, authority, authorization, execution, delivery of documents, or other matters of corporate law are contained in the opinions set forth above and the Delaware UCC, as they relate to Borrower, we point out that we are not authorized to practice law in the State of Delaware and that such opinions are based solely upon our review and examination of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (Del. Code Ann. Title 8, § 101, et seq.) and Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and we have not examined any other Delaware statutes or any court decisions from Delaware.
The opinions expressed herein are qualified as follows:
(a) The validity, binding nature and enforceability of any liability, obligation, instrument, document or agreement are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other federal and state laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and (ii) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies), whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity.
(b) Certain rights, remedies, waivers and procedures contained in the Transaction Documents and the Deeds of Trust may be limited or rendered ineffective by applicable Tennessee laws or judicial decisions; however, the inclusion of such rights, remedies, waivers and procedures does not render the Transaction Documents invalid as a whole and, subject to the other qualifications and limitations set forth herein, there exist, in the Transaction Documents and the Deeds of Trust or pursuant to applicable law, legally adequate remedies to realize the principal benefits and security reasonably intended to be provided by the Transaction Documents and the Deeds of Trust.
November 7, 2003
Page 6
(c) We express no opinion as to compliance, or the effect of any noncompliance, with applicable laws governing interest and usury.
Our opinion is rendered as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to advise you of changes in law or fact (or the effect thereof on the opinions expressed herein) that hereafter may come to our attention.
As used inParagraph 8 above, “corresponding Deed of Trust”, “corresponding Tennessee Deed of Trust Amendment” and any similar expression refer, in each case, to a Deed of Trust and the applicable Tennessee Deed of Trust Amendment that is to amend such Deed of Trust as indicated onSchedule 3.
As used herein, “knowledge”, “known to us”, “to our knowledge” and any similar expression refer solely to the current, actual knowledge, acquired during the course of the representation described in the introductory paragraph of this letter, of those attorneys in this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with such representation (excluding any lawyers whose involvement has been limited to reviewing this opinion as part of our firm’s opinion review procedure).
The opinions rendered herein are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns in connection with the transactions that are the subject of the Transaction Documents, and this opinion letter may not be delivered to or relied upon by any other person nor quoted or reproduced in any report or other document without our prior written consent in each case;provided, however,that a copy of this opinion letter may be furnished to your regulators, accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors for the purpose of confirming its existence, and this opinion letter may be disclosed in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding relating to the subject matter hereof.
Very truly yours,
