In the event that Lender or Collateral Agent at any time believes, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that any Property is not free of all Hazardous Waste or Materials other than Permitted Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) or that either Borrower has violated any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Property, then, upon request by Lender or Collateral Agent, Borrowers promptly shall obtain and furnish to Lender and Collateral Agent, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, an environmental audit and inspection of such Property from an expert satisfactory to Lender and Collateral Agent in their sole but reasonable discretion.

All such replacement property shall be deemed to be incorporated immediately into and to constitute an integral portion of the Collateral and, as such, shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgages.

Lender and Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make premium payments, at Borrowers’ expense, to prevent any cancellation, endorsement, alteration or reissuance of any policy of insurance maintained by either Borrower, and such payments shall be accepted by the insurer to prevent same.

(d) As among Lender, Collateral Agent and Borrowers, Borrowers assume all risks and liabilities from any cause whatsoever, whether or not covered by insurance, for loss or damage to any portion of the Collateral and for injury to or death of any person or damage to any property, whether such injury or death be with respect to agents or employees of either Borrower or of third parties, and whether such property damage be to either Borrower’s property or the property of others.

If either Borrower at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants or agreements contained in any Borrower Document, and if such failure shall continue for a period of 10 calendar days after Lender or Collateral Agent gives such Borrower written notice thereof (or in the case of the agreements contained in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof, immediately upon the occurrence of such failure, without notice or lapse of time), Lender or Collateral Agent may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of such Borrower (or, at Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s option, in Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which Lender or Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of security interests, liens or encumbrances, the performance of obligations owed to account debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments); and Borrowers shall thereupon pay to Lender and Collateral Agent within ten (10) days after written demand the amount of all moneys expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Lender or Collateral Agent in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Lender or Collateral Agent, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the lesser of 10% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. To facilitate the performance or observance by Lender and Collateral Agent of such covenants of Borrowers, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender and Collateral Agent, or the delegate of Lender or Collateral Agent, acting alone, as the attorney in fact of such Borrower with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of such Borrower any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by such Borrower under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF BORROWERS

So long as the Loan shall remain unpaid, Borrowers agree that:

Section 7.01. Sale of Assets. Neither Borrower will sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial part of its assets or of any of the Collateral or any interest therein (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions).

Section 7.02. Consolidation and Merger. Neither Borrower will consolidate with or merge into any person, or permit any other person to merge into it or acquire (in a transaction analogous in purpose or effect to a consolidation or merger) all or substantially all of the assets of any other person.

Section 7.03. Accounting. Neither Borrower will adopt, permit or consent to any material change in accounting principles other than as required by GAAP. Neither Borrower will adopt, permit or consent to any change in its fiscal year.

Section 7.04. Modifications and Substitutions. Except for the improvements to the Property located in Pennsylvania as previously disclosed to Lender, neither Borrower shall make any material alterations, modifications or additions to, or substitutions of, the Real Estate Collateral without the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that any substitutions made pursuant to Borrowers’ obligations to make repairs referenced under any provision of this Agreement shall not require such prior written consent. Borrowers shall provide such documents or assurances as Lender may reasonably request to maintain or confirm the lien in favor of Lender on the Real Estate Collateral as so altered, modified or substituted.

Section 7.05. Use of Property. Unless required by applicable law or unless Lender has otherwise agreed in writing, neither Borrower shall allow changes in the use for which all or any part of any Property was intended at the time this Agreement was executed.

ARTICLE VIII

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION

Section 8.01. Damage and Destruction. Borrowers shall provide a complete written report to Collateral Agent and Lender immediately upon any loss, theft, damage or destruction of any Collateral and of any accident involving any Real Estate Collateral resulting in a loss of at least $350,000. With respect to any Damaged Collateral, Borrowers shall as soon as practicable after such event either: (a) replace the same at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense with property having substantially similar specifications and of equal or greater value to the Damaged Collateral immediately prior to the time of the loss occurrence, such replacement property to be subject to Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s approval, whereupon such replacement property shall be substituted in this Agreement and the other related documents by appropriate endorsement or amendment; or (b) with respect to Damaged Collateral involving a loss of at least $350,000, pay the applicable Damaged Collateral Amount. With respect to Damaged Collateral involving a loss of at least $350,000, Borrowers shall notify Collateral Agent and Lender of which course of action it will take within 30 calendar days after the loss occurrence. If, within 90 calendar days of the loss occurrence, (a) Borrowers fail to notify Collateral Agent and Lender; (b) Borrowers, Collateral Agent and Lender fail to execute an amendment to this Agreement and any related document to delete the Damaged Collateral and add the replacement property or (c) Borrowers fail to pay the applicable Damaged Collateral Amount, then Lender may, at its sole discretion, declare the applicable Damaged Collateral Amount to be immediately due and payable, and Borrowers are required to pay the same. The Net Proceeds of insurance with respect to the Damaged Collateral shall be made available by Collateral Agent to be applied to discharge Borrowers’ obligation under this Section. The payment of the Damaged Collateral Amount and the termination of Collateral Agent’s interest in the Damaged Collateral is subject to the terms of Section 2.07 hereof. For purposes of this Section, the term “Net Proceeds” shall mean the amount remaining from the gross proceeds of any insurance claim after deducting all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in the collection of such claim.

Section 8.02. Condemnation. If the Real Estate Collateral, or any part thereof with a book value in excess of $350,000, shall be condemned for any reason, including without limitation fire or earthquake damage, or otherwise taken for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, or be transferred in lieu thereof, all damages or other amounts awarded for the taking of, or injury to, the Real Estate Collateral shall be paid to Collateral Agent who shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply the amounts so received against (a) the costs and expenses of Collateral Agent and Lender, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with collection of such amounts, and (b) the balance against the amounts due hereunder; provided, however, that if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrowers provide evidence satisfactory to Collateral Agent and Lender of its ability to pay all amounts becoming due hereunder during the pendency of any restoration or repairs to or replacement of the Real Estate Collateral, (iii) Collateral Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that the proceeds of such award are sufficient to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Real Estate Collateral as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such taking (or, if the proceeds of such award are insufficient for such purpose, if Borrowers provide additional sums to Collateral Agent’s satisfaction so that the aggregate of such sums and the proceeds of such award will be sufficient for such purpose), and (iv) Borrowers provide evidence satisfactory to Collateral Agent in its sole but reasonable discretion that none of the tenants of such Property will terminate their lease agreements as a result of either the condemnation or taking or the repairs to or replacement of the Real Estate Collateral, the proceeds of such award, together with additional sums provided by Borrowers, shall be placed in a separate account for the benefit of Collateral Agent and Borrowers to be used to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Real Estate Collateral as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such taking. All work to be performed in connection therewith shall be pursuant to a written contract therefor, which contract shall be subject to the prior approval of Collateral Agent. To the extent that any funds remain after the Real Estate Collateral has been so restored and repaired, the same shall be applied against the amounts due hereunder in such order as Collateral Agent and Lender may elect. To enforce their rights hereunder, Collateral Agent and Lender shall be entitled to participate in and control any condemnation proceedings relating to any portion of the Real Estate Collateral with a book value of at least $350,000 and to be represented therein by counsel of their own choice, and Borrowers will deliver, or cause to be delivered to Collateral Agent and Lender such instruments as may be requested by them from time to time to permit such participation. In the event Lender, as a result of any such judgment, decree or award, believes in its sole but reasonable discretion that the payment or performance of the Loan is impaired, Lender may declare all of the amounts due hereunder immediately due and payable.

ARTICLE IX

ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASING AND SELLING

Section 9.01. Assignment by Lender. This Agreement, and the obligations of Borrowers to make payments hereunder, may be assigned and reassigned in whole or in part to one or more assignees or subassignees by Lender at any time subsequent to its execution, without the necessity of obtaining the consent of either Borrower; provided, however, that no such assignment or reassignment shall be effective unless and until Borrowers shall have received notice of the assignment or reassignment disclosing the name and address of the assignee or subassignee. Upon receipt of notice of assignment, Borrowers shall agree to make all payments to the assignee designated in the notice of assignment, notwithstanding any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever (whether arising from a breach of this Agreement or otherwise) that Borrowers may from time to time have against Lender or the assignee. Borrowers agree to execute all documents, including notices of assignment and chattel mortgages, which may be reasonably requested by Lender or its assignee to protect their interest in the Collateral and in this Agreement.

Section 9.02. No Sale or Assignment by Borrowers. This Agreement and the interest of Borrowers in the Collateral may not be sold, assumed, assigned or encumbered by Borrowers other than (a) in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof and (ii) by the lien created hereunder and under the Mortgages, the Permitted Exceptions and the Permitted Liens.

ARTICLE X

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 10.01. Events of Default. The following constitute “Events of Default” under this Agreement:

(b) failure by Borrowers to maintain insurance on the Collateral in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof;

(d) failure by any Credit Party to observe and perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in any Loan Document or in any other document or agreement executed in connection herewith on its part to be observed or performed for a period of 30 days after written notice is given to such Credit Party specifying such failure and directing that it be remedied; provided, however, that, if the failure stated in such notice cannot be corrected within such 30-day period, Lender will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by Credit Parties, within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected;

(e) any Credit Party shall be or become insolvent, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any Credit Party shall apply for or consent to the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer for it or for all or any substantial part of its property; or such receiver, trustee or similar officer shall be appointed without the application or consent of such Credit Party; or any Credit Party shall institute (by petition, application, answer, consent or otherwise) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding relating to it under the laws of any jurisdiction; or any such proceeding shall be instituted (by petition, application or otherwise) against any Credit Party; or any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution or similar process shall be issued or levied against a substantial part of the property of any Credit Party;

(f) determination by Lender that any representation or warranty made by any Credit Party in any Loan Document or in any other document executed in connection herewith was untrue in any material respect when made;

(g) an amendment or termination relating to a filed financing statement describing any of the Collateral is improperly filed;

(h) the occurrence of an event of default and the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Existing Loan Agreement;

(i) the occurrence of an event of default and the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period under any instrument, agreement or other document evidencing, relating to or securing any indebtedness or other monetary obligation of any Credit Party having an aggregate principal amount (including undrawn committed or available amounts and including amounts owing to all creditors under any combined or syndicated credit arrangement) of more than $1,000,000 when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise);

(j) Guarantor shall repudiate, purport to revoke or fail to perform such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guaranty Agreement;

(k) except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, ownership of either Borrower changes during the period that the Loan is outstanding (each Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender has made its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby based upon the management expertise of the current owners and their ownership of such Borrower); and

(l) the occurrence of an event of default and the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period under any Loan Document or any other agreement between or among CF and any Credit Party.

Section 10.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever an Event of Default described in Section 10.01(e) hereof shall have occurred, the Prepayment Amount automatically shall be due and payable, whereupon the Prepayment Amount automatically shall become and be forthwith due and payable without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers. Whenever any Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender and/or Collateral Agent shall have the right, at its sole option without any further demand or notice, to take any one or any combination of the following remedial steps which are accorded to Lender by applicable law:

(a) by notice to either Borrower, declare the Prepayment Amount to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Prepayment Amount shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers;

(b) proceed by appropriate court action to enforce specific performance by Borrowers of the applicable covenants of this Agreement or to recover for the breach thereof, including the payment of all amounts due from Borrowers. Borrowers shall pay or repay to Lender and Collateral Agent all costs of such action or court action, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees;

(d) take whatever action at law or in equity that may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral. Borrowers shall pay or repay to Lender all costs of such action or court action, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

All proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral shall be applied in the following manner:

FIRST, to pay all proper and reasonable costs and expenses associated with the recovery, repair, storage and sale of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses;

SECOND, to pay (i) Lender the amount of all unpaid Loan Payments or other obligations (whether direct or indirect owed by Borrowers to Lender), if any, which are then due and owing, together with interest and late charges thereon, (ii) Lender the then applicable Prepayment Amount (taking into account the payment of past-due Loan Payments as aforesaid), plus a pro rata allocation of interest, at the rate utilized to calculate the Loan Payments, from the next preceding due date of a Loan Payment until the date of payment by the buyer, and (iii) any other amounts due hereunder, including indemnity payments, taxes, charges, reimbursement of any advances and other amounts payable to Lender or Collateral Agent hereunder; and

THIRD, to pay the remainder of the sale proceeds, purchase moneys or other amounts paid by a buyer of the Collateral to Borrowers.

Notwithstanding any other remedy exercised hereunder, Borrowers shall remain obligated to pay to Lender any unpaid portion of the Prepayment Amount.

Section 10.03. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender or Collateral Agent is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle Lender or Collateral Agent to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be required by this Article. All remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender or Collateral Agent shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.04. Late Charge; Default Interest. If Lender does not receive from Borrowers payment in full of any Loan Payment or any other sum due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document within 10 days after its due date, Borrowers agree to pay a late fee equal to five percent (5%) on such late Loan Payment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum. Such late fee will be immediately due and payable, and is in addition to any other costs, fees and expenses that Borrowers may owe as a result of such late payment. Additionally, if the Loan is accelerated pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, the amounts due and owing hereunder shall accrue interest at the lesser of 10% per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). The application of such 10% interest rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to extend any cure period set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, cure any default or otherwise limit Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder or under any Loan Document.

ARTICLE XI
