§1.DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF INTERPRETATION.

Agreement. This Unsecured Term Loan Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto.

Applicable Margin. (a) On any date prior to such time as the Agent first receives written notice that Trust has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies and that Borrower irrevocably elects to have the Applicable Margin determined based upon the Credit Rating Levels set forth in subpart (b) of this definition, the applicable margin set forth below based on the ratio of the Consolidated Total Liabilities of the Borrower to the Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value of the Borrower (expressed as a percentage):



Pricing Level	Ratio of Consolidated Total Liabilities to Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value	Base Rate Loans	LIBOR Rate Loans
I	Less than or equal to 45%	1.05%	2.05%
II	Greater than 45%, but less than or equal to 50%,	1.15%	2.15%

The Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (a) shall be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, on the first day of the first month following the delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event that Borrower shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or before the date required by §7.4(e), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Banks under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (a) shall be at Pricing Level 4 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this definition, the determination of the Applicable Margin for any period described in this subsection (a) shall be subject to the provisions of §4.5(b)

(b) From and after the time that Agent first receives written notice that Trust has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies and that Borrower irrevocably elects to have the Applicable Margin determined based upon the Credit Rating Levels set forth in subpart (b) of this definition, “Applicable Margin” shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level as set forth below (provided that any accrued interest payable at the Applicable Margin determined above in subpart (a) of this definition shall be payable as provided in §2.4):



Pricing Level	Credit Rating Level	Term LIBOR Rate Loans	Term Base Rate Loans
I	Credit Rating ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇	1.25%	0.25%
II	Credit Rating ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇	1.35%	0.35%
III	Credit Rating ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇	1.50%	0.50%
IV	Credit Rating ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇	1.80%	0.80%
V	Credit Rating ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇	2.25%	1.25%

The Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (b) for the Base Rate Loans shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time, and the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (b) for any Interest Period for the LIBOR Rate Loans having such Interest Period shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect on the first day of such Interest Period; provided, however that no change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in such Credit Rating Level.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may elect to value a Redevelopment Property at cost as determined in accordance with GAAP, as set forth in the first sentence of this definition, for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months which twenty-four (24) month period

shall commence upon the date which Agent receives written notice from Borrower of such election (including any notice provided prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement). The assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be adjusted to reflect the Borrower’s allocable share of such asset (including Borrower’s interest in any Unconsolidated Affiliate whose asset value is determined by application of the capitalization rate above), for the relevant period or as of the date of determination, taking into account (a) the relative proportion of each such item derived from assets directly owned by the Borrower and from assets owned by its respective Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates, and (b) the Borrower’s respective ownership interest in its Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates.

Consolidated Total Liabilities. All liabilities of a Person and its Subsidiaries determined on a Consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and all Indebtedness of such Person and its Subsidiaries, whether or not so classified, including any liabilities arising in connection with sale and leaseback transactions, and shall include such Person’s pro rata share of the foregoing items of its Unconsolidated Affiliates. Consolidated Total Liabilities shall not include Trust Preferred Equity or Subordinated Debt. Amounts undrawn under this Agreement shall not be included in Indebtedness for purposes of this definition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) Indebtedness (i) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries consisting of environmental indemnities and guarantees with respect to customary exceptions to exculpatory language with respect to Non-recourse Indebtedness and (ii) of Borrower with respect to the TIF Guaranty shall not be included in the calculation of Consolidated Total Liabilities of Borrower and its Subsidiaries unless a claim shall have been made against Borrower or a Subsidiary of Borrower on account of any such guaranty or indemnity, and (b) Indebtedness of Borrower, the Trust and their Subsidiaries under completion guarantees shall equal the remaining costs to complete the applicable construction project in excess of construction loan or mezzanine loan proceeds available therefor and any equity deposited or invested for the payment of such costs.

Contribution Agreement. That certain Contribution Agreement dated of even date herewith among the Borrower, the Trust and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Conversion Request. A notice given by the Borrower to the Agent of its election to convert or continue a Loan in accordance with §4.1.

Credit Rating. As of any date of determination, the higher of the credit ratings (or their equivalents) then assigned to Trust’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt by any of the Rating Agencies. A credit rating of BBB- from S&P or Fitch is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa3 from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and vice versa. A credit rating of BBB from S&P or Fitch is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa2 from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and vice versa. It is the intention of the parties that if Trust shall only obtain a credit rating from two of the Rating Agencies without seeking a credit rating from the third Rating Agency, the Borrower shall be entitled to the benefit of the Credit Rating Level for such credit rating. If Trust shall have obtained a credit rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, the highest of the obtained ratings shall control, provided that the next highest rating is only one level below that of the highest rating. If the next highest rating is more than one level below that of the highest credit rating, the operative rating would be deemed to be one rating level higher than the lower of the two ratings.

Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties. Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties shall mean Eligible Real Estate which satisfies all of the conditions set forth in §7.19. The initial properties designated by Borrower to be Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties are described on Schedule 6.31 hereto.

Unencumbered Pool Value. The Unencumbered Pool Value shall be with respect to any Eligible Real Estate included in the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, the sum of (i) with respect to each Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property owned by Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries for at least the previous four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, the aggregate Operating Cash Flow from Eligible Real Estate included in the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property divided by the Capitalization Rate and (ii) with respect to each Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property owned by Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and acquired during the prior four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, the acquisition cost of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property determined in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Unencumbered Pool Value for an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property that is a Redevelopment Property shall be the cost incurred for such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property as determined in accordance with GAAP for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months, which period shall commence upon the date which Agent approves such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property as a Redevelopment Property.

Unsecured Indebtedness. As of any date of determination, the sum of (a) the Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries outstanding at any time which is not Secured Indebtedness plus (b) the amount by which the portion of the aggregate Secured Recourse Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Trust and their Subsidiaries exceeds the lesser of (i) $150,000,000.00 and (ii) ten percent (10%) of Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value. For the purposes of this definition, the amount of any contingent obligation of the type described in clause (c) of the definition of Indebtedness shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the maximum reasonably anticipated liability in respect thereof (assuming such Person is required to perform thereunder), as determined by Borrower in good faith and reasonably approved by Agent. Guaranties with respect to customary exceptions to Non-recourse Indebtedness of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Unconsolidated Affiliates shall not be deemed to be Unsecured Indebtedness; provided that if a claim is made against Borrower or the Trust with respect thereto, the amount so claimed shall be considered Unsecured Indebtedness. Unsecured Indebtedness shall not include Subordinated Debt or accounts payable paid in the ordinary course of business.

Variable Rate Debt. Indebtedness that is payable by reference to a rate of interest that may vary, float or change during the term of such Indebtedness (that is, a rate of interest that is not fixed for the entire term of such Indebtedness).

Stock or similar ownership interests, of any class or classes (however designated), the holders of which are at the time entitled, as such holders, (a) to vote for the election of a majority of the directors (or persons performing similar functions) of the corporation, association, partnership, trust or other business entity involved, or (b) to control, manage, or conduct the business of the corporation, partnership, association, trust or other business entity involved.

Wholly Owned Subsidiary. Any Subsidiary of Borrower or the Trust in which all of the equity interests (other than in the case of a corporation, director’s qualifying shares) are at the time directly or indirectly owned by Borrower or the Trust.

§2. THE CREDIT FACILITY.

§2.1. Intentionally Deleted.

§2.2. Commitment to Lend Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Term Loan Banks severally agrees to lend to Borrower on the Closing Date such Term Loan Bank’s Term Loan Commitment. Any additional Term Loans made as a result of any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to §2.8 shall be made on the applicable Commitment Increase Date and each Bank which elects to increase its Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.8 severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to (a) with respect to any existing Bank, the amount by which such Term Loan Bank’s Commitment increases on the applicable Commitment Increase Date and (b) with respect to any new Banks, the amount of such new Bank’s Term Loan Commitment.

§2.3. Intentionally Deleted.

§2.4. Interest on Loans.

(a) Each Term Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Term Base Rate Loan is repaid or is converted to a Term LIBOR Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Term Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate.

(b) Each Term LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Term LIBOR Rate Loan is repaid or is converted to a Term Base Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Term LIBOR Rate Loans plus the LIBOR Rate determined for such Interest Period.

(c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan to it in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

(d) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.

§2.5. Intentionally Deleted.

§2.6. Funds for Loans.

(a) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of the Term Loans, each of the Term Loan Banks, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.2. Upon receipt from each such Bank of such amount, and

upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of Term Loans, made available to the Agent by the Term Loan Banks, by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office or by transferring such amount to an account designated by Borrower. The failure or refusal of any Term Loan Bank to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Term Loan Bank from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Bank’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans. Agent shall notify each of the Term Loan Banks no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which will be made available by such Bank to the Agent on the Drawdown Date.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank’s pro rata share of a proposed Loan, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Bank has made such share of the proposed Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to Borrower, and such Bank shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§2.7. Intentionally Deleted.

§2.8. Increase of Term Loan Commitment.

(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option, by giving written notice to the Agent (the “Increase Notice”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to increase the Total Commitment, each in increments of $5,000,000.00 by an aggregate amount of increases to the Total Commitment of up to $25,000,000 (the amount of the requested increase to be set forth in the Increase Notice) (which would result in a maximum Total Commitment of $75,000,000). The execution and delivery of the Increase Notice by Borrower shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all the conditions set forth in this §2.8 shall have been satisfied on the date of such Increase Notice. Each advance of the additional Commitment may, with the approval of Agent and Borrower, bear interest at a different interest rate (including,

without limitation, by reference to a different Applicable Margin) agreed to by Borrower, Agent and the Banks making such additional Commitment.

(b) The obligation of the Agent and the Term Loan Banks to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.8 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment.

(i) Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees referred to in §4.2 with respect to the applicable increase and to the Agent such fees as Agent and the Term Loan Banks, acquiring such increase may require to increase the aggregate Term Loan Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Agent shall pay to the Banks acquiring the increased Term Loan Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and

(ii) No Default. On the date such Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Term Loan Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

(iii) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower or Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower, Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects, when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Term Loan Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased; and

(iv) Additional Documents and Fees. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver to Agent and the Banks such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may require in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, replacement Notes, any customary amendments to the Loan Documents as Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, and a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, as Agent may request (including demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase). The Banks authorize Agent to enter into on behalf of the Banks such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Agent deems necessary or appropriate to document any increase in the Total Commitment (including, without limitation, such changes as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the interest rate applicable to such increased portion of the Commitment); and

(v) Assignments. One or more Term Loan Banks, or potential assignees reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have agreed to acquire the portion of the Term Loan Commitment that Borrower desires to activate, provided, however, no Bank (including, specifically, but without limitation, Capital One) shall be obligated to acquire such increase without the express written consent of such Bank, which consent may be withheld in such Bank’s sole and absolute discretion. The allocation of any such increase shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent; and

(vi) Other. The Borrower shall satisfy such other conditions to such increase as Agent may require in its reasonable discretion.

(c) Upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth above, the amount set forth in the Increase Notice shall become part of the Term Loan Commitment and shall be funded by the Term Loan Bank or Banks acquiring such Term Loan Commitment to the Agent for disbursement to the Borrower. The Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect any such increase in the Total Commitment.

§2.9. Intentionally Deleted.

§2.10. Intentionally Deleted.

§2.11. Evidence of Debt. The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the Loans made by each Bank from time to time shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Bank and the Agent in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent and the Banks to make, or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s and the Bank’s records reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The Agent shall maintain accounts or records in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record: (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of Loan and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Bank’s share thereof. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Bank shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein and shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Banks to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Bank and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower agrees that upon the request of any Bank made through the Agent (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise), the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Bank (through the Agent) a Term Loan Note payable to the

order of such Bank, which shall evidence such Bank’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Bank may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.

§3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

§3.1. Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date all of the Term Loans Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

§3.2. Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the sum of the aggregate of the Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness of the Trust, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Outstanding Loans) exceed the Borrowing Base Availability, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay the amount of such excess, at its choice, either to reduce such Unsecured Indebtedness or to the Agent for the account of the Term Loan Banks for application to the Term Loans.

§3.3. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the applicable Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time together with a prepayment premium in respect of the principal amount of such Loans so prepaid in an amount equal to (i) three percent (3%) of such principal amount for any prepayment made on or before May 16, 2014, (ii) two percent (2%) of such principal amount for any prepayment made after May 16, 2014 and on or before on or before May 16, 2015, and (iii) one percent (1%) of such principal amount of any prepayment made after May 16, 2015 and on or before May 16, 2016 (the “Prepayment Consideration”). No prepayment premium shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of any prepayment of such Loans made on or after May 16, 2016; provided, that if any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.8. The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of Loans and the principal amount to be paid. Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Consideration is bargained for consideration and is not a penalty. Borrower recognizes that Banks would incur substantial additional costs and expense in the event of a prepayment of the Loans and that the Prepayment Consideration compensates Banks for such costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the loss of Banks’ investment opportunity during the period from the prepayment date until the Term Loan Maturity Date). Borrower agrees that Banks shall not, as a condition to receiving the Prepayment Consideration, be obligated to actually reinvest the amount prepaid in any obligation or in any other manner whatsoever. If, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Loans on or before May 16, 2016, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment in the amount tendered and in such case Borrower shall also pay to Banks, with respect to the amount tendered, the applicable

Prepayment Consideration. Agent shall not be obligated to accept any such tender unless it is accompanied by all Prepayment Consideration due in connection therewith.

§3.4. Partial Prepayments. Each prepayment under §3.2 shall be applied to the Loans and, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of the Base Rate Loans in accordance with each Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Loans and then to the principal of the LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with each Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Loans.

§3.5. Effect of Prepayments. Any portion of the Term Loans that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

§4.1. Conversion Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Term Loans from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans or vice versa and such Term Loan shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of or conversion of such Loan there shall be no more than twelve (12) Term LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Term Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Term Base Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount of less than $500,000 or a Term LIBOR Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount of less than $500,000 and that the aggregate principal amount of each Loan shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Bank shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

(b) Any Term Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1(a); provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any Loan to it, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

§4.2. Commitment and Syndication Fee. The Borrower shall pay to Capital One and Arranger certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loan as provided pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees dated of even date herewith between the Borrower and Capital One.

§4.3. Agent’s Fee. The Borrower will pay to Agent, for the Agent’s own account, an annual Agent’s Fee calculated at the rate, and payable at such times as are, set forth in the Agreement Regarding Fees referred to in §4.2.

§4.4. Funds for Payments.

(c) All payments of principal, interest, unused facility fees, Agent’s fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Banks and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with Capital One designated by the Borrower, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Banks under the Loan Documents.

(d) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes (other than any Excluded FATCA Tax), levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Banks or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Banks or the Agent would have received on such

due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document.

(e) Each Bank shall provide the Borrower and Agent with such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Bank, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, indicates the withholding status of such Bank; provided that nothing herein (including without limitation the failure or inability to provide such form or statement) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations under §4.4(b). Each Bank shall deliver photocopies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such form shall expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower for the Agent. Any Bank which sells a participation in any of its Commitments shall be required to obtain such forms from any participant, and shall be required to withhold any amounts from such participant as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto. If any governmental authority asserts that the Agent or Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Bank, such Bank shall indemnify the Agent and/or Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent or by the Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) under this section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent and Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only). The obligation of the Banks under this section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and all the resignation or replacement of the Agent. Without limitation of §4.4(b), if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting and document provision requirements of FATCA (including those contained in § 1741(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by § 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and/or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

§4.5. Computations.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Borrower or for any other reason, then the Borrower, the Agent, or the Lenders determine that (i) the ratio of Consolidated Total Liabilities to Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value as calculated by the Trust and the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate in any material respect and (ii) a proper calculation of the ratio of Consolidated Total Liabilities to Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, then Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders within three (3) Business Days after demand by Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under §4.12 or under Article XII.

§4.6. Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Banks) to the Borrower and the Banks. In such event each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period thereof, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Banks to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Banks.

§4.7. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Bank or

(d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Bank’s Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Bank’s Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the foregoing is

(i) to increase the cost to any Bank of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Bank’s Commitment, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to such Bank or the Agent hereunder on account of such Bank’s Commitment or any of the Loans, or

If after the date hereof any Bank determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Bank or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Bank’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Bank’s commitment to make Loans hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then such Bank may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth such Bank’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

§4.11. Indemnity of Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense that such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Conversion Request.

§4.14. Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between the Borrower and the Banks and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Banks exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Banks in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Banks shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Banks shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations of the Borrower and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the Borrower, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the

Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or such Guarantor. The Borrower, the Guarantor has provided to the Agent a schedule, and upon the request of the Agent will provide copies, of all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective properties and entered into by the Borrower or any Guarantor as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

§6.24. Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to be made hereunder, neither the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their Subsidiaries is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, such Person is able to pay its debts as they become due, and such Person has sufficient capital to carry on its business.

§6.25. Contribution Agreement. Borrower has delivered to the Agent a true, correct and complete copy of the Contribution Agreement. The Contribution Agreement is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, there are no material claims resulting from non-performance of the terms thereof or otherwise or any basis for a material claim by any party to the Contribution Agreement, nor has there been any waiver of any material terms thereunder.

§6.26. No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.

§6.27. Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower, the Guarantors, each of their respective Subsidiaries and the creditors of such Persons. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower, the Guarantors and each of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration,” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower, the Guarantors and each of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for

the willingness of the Guarantors to guaranty the Loan, Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to have available financing to refinance existing indebtedness and to conduct and expand their business.

§6.28. Partners and the Trust. The Trust is the sole general partner of the Borrower and owns a 1% general partnership interest and as of the Closing Date not less than a 90% limited partnership interest in the Borrower. The Trust owns no assets other than its interest in the Borrower as a general partner and limited partner, cash, Short-term Investments and the property described in Schedule 6.29 hereto.

§6.29. Tax Indemnity Agreement. The Tax Indemnity Agreement has not been voluntarily terminated by Borrower or the Trust and there has been no waiver of any material terms thereunder by Borrower or the Trust.

None of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries, are (and none of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries will be) a Person named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons. In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Banks any additional information that a Bank deems reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.

§6.31. Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 6.31 is a correct and complete list of all Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties. Each of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties included by the Borrower in calculation of the compliance of the covenants set forth in §9 satisfies all of the requirements contained in this Agreement for the same to be included therein.

Borrower shall take, and shall cause the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to take, such actions as are necessary to preserve the right and ability of Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to pledge such assets as security for the Loans without any such pledge after the date hereof causing or permitting the acceleration (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) of any other Indebtedness of Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however the foregoing shall not prevent the Borrower from utilizing the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties to support other unsecured financings and the Guarantors from providing unsecured guaranties in connection with such unsecured financings.

(vii) such Real Estate has been designated as an “Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property” on Schedule 6.31 hereto or in a Borrowing Base Property Certificate in accordance with §7.4(e) or delivered pursuant to this §7.19, and in any event has not been removed as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property pursuant to §7.19(d) or §7.19(e);

(viii) the number of properties included within the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties shall not be less than ten (10) and shall provide Borrowing Base Availability of not less than $200,000,000.00 ;

(ix) the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties shall consist solely of Real Estate which has (A) an aggregate occupancy level of tenants (excluding the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in possession (but not any tenant having under lease 25,000 square feet or more on a holdover or month-to-month basis), operating, paying rent and which are not otherwise in default of at least eighty percent (80%) of the Net Rentable Area within such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties for the previous fiscal quarter of the Borrower based on bona fide arms-length tenant leases requiring current rental payments and which are in full force and effect (provided, however, with respect to the calculations set forth in this §7.19(a)(ix)(A) the Net Rentable Area for any tenants which have more than 10,000 square feet under lease and which have vacated their space shall be excluded from the total Net Rentable Area of the applicable Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property when making such calculation), and (B) an aggregate level of tenants (excluding the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) under leases in such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties (but not any tenant having under lease 25,000 square feet or more on a holdover or month-to-month basis) which are paying rent and which are not in default of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Net Rentable Area within such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties for the previous fiscal quarter of the Borrower based on bona fide arms-length tenant leases requiring current rental payments and which are in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may temporarily remove an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property from the foregoing occupancy calculations with respect to an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property (x) that is a Redevelopment Property, (y) which is being voluntarily redeveloped by Borrower to reposition such property and (z) which Agent has approved in writing as a property that can be excluded from such calculation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to approve the removal of such property from the foregoing calculation if redevelopment is as a result of a default, insolvency, lease termination or other act or circumstance affecting a tenant of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property. Such property shall be excluded from the foregoing occupancy calculations until the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the initial approval of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property as a Redevelopment Property for the purposes of this §7.19;

(x) no more than ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base Availability of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties shall be properties leased by Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor as the lessee or tenant under a Ground Lease; and

(xi) other than with respect to the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property commonly known as Tel-Twelve located in Southfield, Michigan, no Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property shall contribute more than ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base Availability of all of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties.

(b) In the event that all or any material portion of any Real Estate within the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties shall be damaged or taken by condemnation, then such Real Estate shall no longer be a part of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties unless and until (i) any damage to such Real Estate is repaired or restored, such Real Estate becomes fully operational and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the Operating Cash Flow of such Real Estate following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively) or (ii) Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the Operating Cash Flow of such Real Estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall not be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation.

(c) In the event that any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor owns Real Estate which would otherwise qualify as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property and the Borrower desires for the same to become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, then such property may become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property but only in the event that all of the terms and conditions of this §7.19(c) and §5.2 are satisfied:

(i) Such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(ii) The organizational agreements of such Subsidiary or such other resolutions or consents satisfactory to Agent shall specifically authorize such Subsidiary to guaranty the Obligations and to pledge the assets of such Subsidiary as security for the Obligations and the Borrower shall certify to the Agent that applicable law does not preclude such Subsidiary from executing such guaranty or pledging its assets to secure the Obligations;

(iii) All covenants, agreements, and representations in the Loan Documents herein of the Borrower and the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries shall be true and correct with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(iv) No Default or Event of Default shall exist or might exist in the event that such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor or acquires such assets; and

(v) The Real Estate assets acquired or owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor shall qualify as Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties hereunder.

(d) Upon any Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property ceasing to qualify as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability nor shall the Operating Cash Flow from such property be included for the purposes of §9.5. Within five (5) Business Days after any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification,

and a calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability attributable to such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal, replacement or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in §7.19 and §9.5.

(e) In addition, the Borrower may voluntarily remove any Real Estate from the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties by delivering to the Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to date on which such removal is to be effected, notice of such removal, together with a statement that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with passage of time, result from such removal, and the identity of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property being removed, and a calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability attributable to such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal, replacement or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in §7.19 and §9.5.

§7.20. Swap. If the LIBOR Rate for an Interest Period of one month is above two percent (2.00%) for 30 consecutive days during the term of the Loans, the Borrower will be required to enter into a swap or purchase an interest rate cap with respect to the Loans with a counterparty and on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Any such swap or interest rate cap which is a Derivatives Provider Contract shall be an independent agreement governed by the written provisions of said Derivatives Provider Contract, which will remain in full force and effect unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in said Derivatives Provider Contract, and any payoff statement from the Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to a Derivatives Provider Contract except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement. Any prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or any change in the terms of the Loan will not alter the notional amount of any such Derivatives Provider Contract, which will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change, subject to the terms of such Derivatives Provider Contract.

No reorganizations, spin-offs or new business lines shall be established or occur without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks.

The Borrower shall:

(i) in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, which change would lead a prudent lender to require additional testing to avail itself of any statutory insurance or limited liability, take all action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties; and

(ii) if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties (including without limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties by the Borrower), cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties to the extent required by and in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Majority Banks; provided , that the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the reasonable satisfaction of the Majority Banks and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency. The Majority Banks may engage their own environmental consultant to review the environmental assessments and the Borrower’s compliance with the covenants contained herein.

At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, or, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, at any time that the Agent or the Majority Banks shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances may have occurred, relating to any Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, or that any of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties is not in compliance with the Environmental Laws, the Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Majority Banks) obtain such environmental assessments of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property comply with all Environmental Laws. Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry ▇▇▇▇▇ and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

§8.7. Distributions. Neither the Borrower nor the Trust shall make any Distributions which would cause it to violate any of the following covenants:

(a) [Intentionally Deleted];

(b) The Borrower and the Trust shall not make any Distribution if such Distribution is in excess of the amount which, when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same fiscal quarter and the preceding three (3) fiscal quarters would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of their respective Funds from Operations for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the quarter in which such Distribution is paid; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing in this §8.7(b), Borrower and the Trust may, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement (including specifically, but without limitation, those contained in §8.7(b)) (i) redeem existing Preferred Equity with proceeds from an issuance of common equity or Preferred Equity of the Borrower or the Trust and (ii) repurchase common stock issued by the Trust in an amount not exceeding the limit set forth in §8.3(j)(ii), so long as in either case (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of any such repurchase or redemption, (B) no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result of any such repurchase or redemption, and (C) with respect to any repurchase of common stock pursuant to §8.7(b)(ii), prior to any such repurchase Borrower shall have delivered to Agent pro forma evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that the ratio of Consolidated Total Liabilities to Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value (after giving effect to such repurchase) shall be less than fifty percent (50%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may pay a Distribution to its partners of sums received by it pursuant to the Tax Indemnity Agreement;

(c) In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither the Borrower nor the Trust shall make any Distributions other than the minimum Distributions by the Borrower to the Trust and by the Trust required under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of the Trust, as evidenced by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of the Trust containing calculations in reasonable detail satisfactory in form and substance to Agent; provided, however, that neither Borrower nor the Trust shall be entitled to make any Distributions in connection with the repurchase of common or preferred stock of the Trust at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, neither the Borrower nor the Trust shall make any Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly.

§8.8. Asset Sales. Neither the Borrower, the Trust nor any Subsidiary thereof shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any individual Real Estate having a sales price in excess of $75,000,000.00 unless there shall have been delivered to the Agent a statement that no Default or Event of Default exists immediately prior to such sale, transfer or other disposition or would exist after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition.

§8.9. Development Activity. Neither the Borrower, the Trust nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall engage, directly or indirectly, in any development except as expressly provided in §8.3(l) and (m) and this §8.9. The Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries may engage, either directly or, in the case of the Borrower, through any Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Affiliate of the Borrower, an Investment in which is permitted under §8.3(l), in the development of property to be used principally for retail shopping centers or a use ancillary thereto(except for the development commonly referred to as Aquia) which at any time has a total cost in excess of the limit set forth in §8.3(l), without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks. For purposes of this §8.9, the term “development” shall include the new construction of a shopping center complex or the substantial renovation of improvements to real property which materially change the character or size thereof, but shall not include the addition of amenities or other related facilities to existing Real Estate which is already used principally for shopping centers; provided , however , that the term “development” shall not include demolition of existing structures performed by Borrower or the addition of an anchor store to an existing shopping center project provided that the construction of such improvements is performed by the tenant, and the Borrower (or any Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Affiliate thereof), the Trust or its respective Subsidiary, as applicable, is only obligated to reimburse such tenant for a fixed amount with respect to the cost of such construction upon completion of such construction by such tenant. The Borrower and the Trust each acknowledges that the decision of the Majority Banks to grant or withhold such consent shall be based on such factors as the Majority Banks deem relevant in their sole discretion, including without limitation, evidence of sufficient funds both from borrowings and equity to complete such development and evidence that the Borrower (or any Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Affiliate thereof), the Trust or either of its Subsidiaries has the resources and expertise necessary to complete such project. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries thereof from entering into an agreement to acquire Real Estate which has been developed and initially leased

by another Person.

No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any of the Obligations is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy 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 or any other provision of law.

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of, the Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent to such monies;

Each of the Banks agrees with each other Bank that if such Bank shall receive from the Borrower or any Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Obligations owed to such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Banks with respect to the Obligations held by all of the Banks, such Bank will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank receiving in respect of the Obligations held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

§14. THE AGENT.

§14.1. Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Banks and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for

any Bank or to create any agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Banks hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent” it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Bank or by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Banks pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§14.2. Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.

§14.3. No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to any of the Banks for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

§14.4. No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Obligations, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Obligations, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any other of the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any holder of any of the Obligations shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Banks, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective

Subsidiaries or the value of any of the other assets of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and Capital One in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney-client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or Capital One. Each Bank has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents.

§14.5. Payments.

(a) A payment by the Borrower or the Guarantors to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Bank not later than one Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Bank’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Banks except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event the Borrower makes payments to Agent in immediately available funds on or before the time required in this Agreement for such payment, and Agent fails to distribute such amounts on the same Business Day as received, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. In the event that the Agent shall refrain from making any distribution of any amount received by it as provided in this §14.5(b), the Agent shall endeavor to hold such amounts in an interest bearing account and at such time as such amounts may be distributed to the Banks, the Agent shall distribute to each Bank, based on their respective Commitment Percentages, its pro rata share of the interest or other earnings from such deposited amount.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan, (ii) to comply with the provisions of §13 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Banks, where such Bank’s share of

any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Banks, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) to perform any other obligation within the time period specified for performance, or if no time period is specified, if such failure continues for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice from the Agent, shall be deemed a defaulting Bank (a “Defaulting Bank”) and shall be deemed a Defaulting Bank until such time as such delinquency is satisfied provided that a Bank shall not be a Defaulting Bank if such Bank notifies the Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure is the result of such Bank’s determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied. In addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent at law and in equity, a Defaulting Bank’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, or to be taken into account in the calculation of Required Banks, Majority Banks or any matter requiring approval of all of the Banks, shall be suspended while such Bank is a Defaulting Bank; provided that a consent of a Defaulting Bank shall be required for any increase of its Commitment. A Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower and the Guarantors, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-defaulting Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Defaulting Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the non-defaulting Banks in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments. The Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the obligations of any Defaulting Bank any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement, (ii) to collect interest from such Bank for the period from the date on which the payment was due at the rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus two percent (2%), for each day during such period, and (iii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Bank in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted obligations of such Defaulting Bank. A Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the non-defaulting Banks or as a result of other payments by the Defaulting Banks to the non-defaulting Banks, the Banks’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

§14.6. Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of Article 18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Obligation and any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

§14.7. Indemnity. The Banks ratably hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by § 15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

§14.8. Agent as Bank. In its individual capacity, the Bank or any Derivatives Provider acting as the Agent shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Obligations and the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.

§14.9. Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. The Majority Banks may remove the Agent from its capacity as Agent in the event of the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Commitment Percentage of the Bank which is acting as Agent shall not be taken into account in the calculation of Majority Banks for the purposes of removing Agent in the event of the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent, any Bank or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or not less than “A” or its equivalent by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group Inc. and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Bank’s removal of the Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Bank or a bank whose debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or not less than “A” or its equivalent by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group Inc. and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

§14.10. Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may, and if so requested by the Majority Banks and the Banks have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have. The Majority Banks may direct the Agent in writing as to the method

and the extent of any such exercise, the Banks hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11. Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Banks. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Majority Banks, the Required Banks or all of the Banks as required by this Agreement. Each Bank irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Banks requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.

§14.12. Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Banks, the Required Banks or the Majority Banks is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Bank agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. If consent is required for the requested action, any Bank’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Banks and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Bank shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. Agent and each Bank shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Banks delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other Banks have otherwise been notified in writing.

§14.13. Borrower not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, may not be enforced by Borrower or any Guarantor, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of Borrower and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

§▇▇. EXPENSES.

The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent or any of the Banks (other than taxes based upon the Agent’s or any Bank’s gross or net income, except that the Agent and the Banks shall be entitled to indemnification for any and all

The covenants of this §15 shall survive payment or satisfaction of payment of the Obligations.

§16. INDEMNIFICATION.

The Borrower and the Trust, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Banks and the Arranger and each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who controls the Agent or any Bank from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation (a) any brokerage, finders or similar fees asserted against any Person indemnified under this §16 based upon any agreement, arrangement or action made or taken, or alleged to have been made or taken, by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (b) any condition of the Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or the Guarantors of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of

In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Banks, the Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to select a single nationally recognized law firm as their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower and the Trust agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower and the Trust under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower and the Trust hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §16 shall survive any assignment by a Bank of its Commitment, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Banks hereunder.

§17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Banks and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Banks of any of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Bank has any obligation to make any Loans. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower and the Trust provided herein and the other Loan Documents shall

survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Banks hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein.

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

§18.1. Conditions to Assignment by Banks. Except as provided herein, each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it, and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent shall have given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Bank, to a Related Fund of such Bank, to a bank which is under common control with the assigning Bank or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Bank provided that such assignee shall remain a wholly-owned Subsidiary or Related Fund of such Bank), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan Commitment in the event an interest in the Term Loan is assigned, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined), an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (an “Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit J hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, any of the Borrower or the Guarantors, (e) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Term Loans of not less than $5,000,000 unless such assignment is to another Bank or a Related Fund or unless such requirement is waived by the Borrower and the Agent, and (f) the assignor shall assign its entire interest in the Loans or retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000 unless otherwise approved by Agent and Borrower. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, of such notice of assignment, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Banks and, to the extent provided in such assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (ii) the assigning Bank shall, to the extent provided in such assignment and upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Bank as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower or the Guarantors. Upon any such assignment, the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect any such assignment.

§18.2. Register. The Agent for itself and on behalf of the Borrower shall maintain a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Banks from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks

may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Banks at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Bank agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500. Contemporaneous assignments by a Bank to multiple Related Funds will be treated as a single assignment for the purposes of such registration fee.

§18.3. New Notes. Upon its receipt of an assignment executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note, if any, subject to such assignment, the Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks (other than the assigning Bank). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall if requested execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such assignee pursuant to such assignment and, if the assigning Bank has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such assignment and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

§18.4. Participations. Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Bank hereunder to the Borrower, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (c) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower or the Guarantors except the rights granted to the Banks pursuant to §13, (d) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (e) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower or the Guarantors.

§18.5. Pledge by Bank. Any Bank may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or, with Agent’s prior written approval, to another Person. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Bank from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Any Term Loan Bank may with the consent of the Agent pledge all or any portion of its rights and interests under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Term Loan Note) to a Person approved by Agent.

§18.6. No Assignment by Borrower or the Trust. Neither the Borrower nor the Trust shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Banks.

§18.7. Disclosure. The Borrower and the Trust each agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices any Bank may disclose information obtained by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder. In addition, the Banks may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors.

§18.8. Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower and the Trust shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment or participation.

§18.9. Mandatory Assignment. In the event Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent but is not approved by one or more of the Banks (any such non-consenting Bank shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Bank”), then, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Bank, Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Bank, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Bank within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Bank to transfer its entire Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Banks that each of such Banks shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Bank (or if any of such Banks does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Banks in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Banks do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Bank’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to find a new Bank or Banks to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Bank, the Non-Consenting Bank’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Bank shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and such Non-Consenting Bank’s original Note. Notwithstanding anything in this §18.9 to the contrary, any Bank or other Bank assignee acquiring some or all of the assigned Commitment of the Non-Consenting Bank must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver. The purchase price to be paid by the acquiring Banks for the Non-Consenting Bank’s Commitment shall equal the principal owed to such Non-Consenting Bank, and the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Bank in addition thereto and as a condition to such sale any and all other amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Non-Consenting Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including all accrued and unpaid interest or fees which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Bank’s Commitment. No registration fee under §18.2 shall be required in connection with such assignment.

§18.10. Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Bank.

§19. NOTICES.

Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement (hereinafter in this §19 referred to as “Notice”) must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by personal delivery or by sending same by overnight courier or by depositing same in the United States Mail, postpaid and registered or certified, return receipt requested, or as expressly permitted herein, by telegraph, telecopy, telefax or telex, and addressed follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) none of the following may occur without the written consent of each Bank or Derivatives Provider (as to clause (vi) affected thereby: (i) a decrease in the rate of interest on the Loans (except as contemplated in §2.8); (ii) an increase or a non-pro rata reduction in the amount of the Commitments of the Banks except pursuant to §2.8 or §18.1; (iii) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon; (iv) the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loans; (v) a decrease of the amount of any fee (other than late fees) payable to a Bank hereunder; (vi) the release of the Borrower or any Guarantor except as otherwise provided herein; (vii) a change in the manner of distribution of any payments to the Banks or the Agent; (viii) an amendment of the definition of Majority Banks or Required Banks or of any requirement for consent by the Majority Banks, the Required Banks or all of the Banks; or (ix) an amendment of this §27, and (b) the provisions of §9 and any of the definitions used therein may not be modified, amended or waived without the written consent of the Required Banks.

§32. TRUST EXCULPATION.

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, all persons having a claim against the Trust (as a Guarantor or general partner of Borrower), the general partner of the Borrower whose signature is affixed hereto as said general partner, hereunder or in connection with any matter that is the subject hereof, shall look solely to (i) the Trust’s interest and rights in the Borrower (as a general partner or limited partner), (ii) the amount of any Net Offering Proceeds not contributed to the Borrower, (iii) all accounts receivable, including the amount of any Distributions received by the

Trust from the Borrower and not distributed to shareholders of the Trust as permitted by this Agreement, (iv) all rights and claims (including amounts paid under) the Tax Indemnity Agreement, (v) all cash and Short-term Investments in an amount in excess of $500,000.00, (vi) any other assets which the Trust may now own or hereafter acquire with the consent of Agent pursuant to §7.17, (vii) all documents and agreements in favor of the Trust in connection with any of the foregoing, (viii) all claims and causes of action arising from or otherwise related to any of the foregoing, and all rights and judgments related to any legal actions in connection with such claims or causes of action, and (ix) all extensions, additions, renewals and replacements, substitutions, products or proceeds of any of the foregoing (the “Attachable Assets”), and in no event shall the obligation of the Trust be enforceable against any shareholder, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust personally. In no event shall any person have any claim against: (i) the cash, Short-term Investments of the Trust and the property described in Schedule 6.29 hereto, all under the heading of “Other Permitted Assets”, (ii) all documents and agreements in favor of the Trust in connection with any of the foregoing, (iii) all claims and causes of action arising from or otherwise related to any of the foregoing, and all rights and judgments related to any legal actions in connection with such claims or causes of action, and (iv) all extensions, additions, renewals and replacements, substitutions, products or proceeds of any of the foregoing (the “Other Permitted Assets”). The Agent and the Banks have agreed to the terms of this §32 solely based upon the representation and covenant of Borrower and the Trust that the Trust does not and will not own any assets other than the Attachable Assets and the Other Permitted Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this §32 to the contrary, the foregoing limitation on liability and recourse to the Trust (as a Guarantor or general partner of Borrower) shall be null and void and of no force and effect, and Agent and the Banks shall have full recourse against the Trust, individually as a Guarantor and in its capacity as general partner of Borrower, and to all of its assets (including, without limitation, the Other Permitted Assets) in the event that the Trust shall now or at any time hereafter own any asset other than or in addition to the Other Permitted Assets and the Attachable Assets. Nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Agent and the Banks against the Borrower.

Each Bank and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow such Bank or the Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries in accordance with the Patriot Act.

FORM OF TERM LOAN NOTE



$_________________	__________, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned RAMCO-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ PROPERTIES, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, hereby promises to pay to __________________________ ________or order, in accordance with the terms of that certain Unsecured Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 16, 2013 (the “Loan Agreement”), as from time to time in effect, among the undersigned, Capital One, National Association, for itself and as Agent, and such other Banks as may be from time to time named therein, to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Term Loan Maturity Date, the principal sum of __________________________ Dollars ($_____________), with daily interest from the date hereof, computed as provided in the Loan Agreement, on the principal amount hereof from time to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall at all times be equal to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and late charges at the rates provided in the Loan Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Payments hereunder shall be made to Capital One, National Association, as Agent for the payee hereof, at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or such other address as may be designated by Agent.

This Note is one of one or more Term Loan Notes evidencing borrowings under and is entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement. The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or in part prior to the maturity date stated above and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Loan Agreement, and may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned Borrower and the Banks and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Banks exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Banks in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Banks shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Banks shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum

Exhibit B – Page 1

lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned Borrower and the Banks and the Agent.

In case an Event of Default shall occur, the entire principal amount of this Note may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in said Loan Agreement. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing and the provisions of the Loan Agreement hereinabove defined, the undersigned further agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by applicable law, to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by the holder of this Note in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan (without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules of any jurisdiction).

The undersigned maker and all guarantors and endorsers, hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as specifically otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, and assent to extensions of time of payment or forbearance or other indulgence without notice.

Recourse to the general partner of the Borrower shall be limited as provided in §32 of the Loan Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned has by its duly authorized officers, executed this Note under seal as of the day and year first above written.
