          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.6, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.8 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base Advance Amount minus (B) the sum of (1) the amount of all outstanding Loans and (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities; provided , that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided , further , that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment or

cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1. The Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of Borrower set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Loans to Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the principal face amount of such Lender’s Note.

          (b) The Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any such Note when due.

     §2.2 Facility Unused Fee . The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee calculated each day at the rate per annum of 0.15% on the daily amount by which the Total Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Loans and the face amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Maturity Date. The facility unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1 ^st ) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.3, with a final payment on the Maturity Date.

     §2.3 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments . The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof ( provided that in no event shall the Total Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than $37,500,000.00, other than in the case of a termination of the facility by the Borrower) or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Commitments ( provided that such termination would not result in the Total Commitment being reduced to an amount less than $37,500,000.00), whereupon the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided , however , that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Commitments of the Lenders as so terminated or reduced.

Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.3, the Agent will notify the Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the maximum amount of Letters of Credit. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.2 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated.

     §2.4 [ Intentionally omitted .]

     §2.5 Interest on Loans .

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

          (b) Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

          (c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan 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.

     §2.6 Requests for Loans . Except with respect to the initial Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit G hereto) of each Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Loan the proposed principal amount of such Loan, the Type of Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Loan and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.8) and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of Parent that the Borrower and the Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $200,000.00 in excess thereof;

provided , however , that there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

     §2.7 Funds for Loans .

          (a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loans, each of the Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each Lender 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 such Loans made available to the Agent by the Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender 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 Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrower the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided in §12.5.

          (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such 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 the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender 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 Lender 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 Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%).

     §2.8 Use of Proceeds . The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) to finance Borrower’s direct and indirect investments in Real Estate and Mortgage Receivables; and (c) for general working capital purposes.

     §2.9 Letters of Credit .

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the Loans Outstanding and (B) the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total Commitment, (iv) in no event shall the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit) cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (v) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, (vi) no Lender is a Delinquent Lender (provided Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, be entitled to waive this condition), and (vii) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which is five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date, or to the Maturity Date to the extent any such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Commitment as a Loan. The Existing Letter of Credit shall upon the Closing Date be deemed to be a Letter of Credit under this Agreement.

          (b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the chief financial or chief accounting officer of Parent that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

          (c) The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.9(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.

          (d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

          (e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance and documentation charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.

          (f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrower being deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day thereafter. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.9(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for

such amounts as provided in §12.5. The failure of any Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.9(f).

          (g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.9(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Loan, each Lender will, on the date such Loan pursuant to §2.9(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

          (h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Lender any such Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided , however , that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

          (i) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

          (j) [Intentionally omitted.]

          (k) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or

the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

     §2.10 Increase in Total Commitment .

          (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.10, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date that is forty-five (45) days prior to the Maturity Date (or the extended maturity date if Borrower exercises its extension option pursuant to §2.11) to request an increase in the Total Commitment to not more than $125,000,000.00 by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all Lenders (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to provide an additional Commitment upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Commitment by which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and the Arranger shall determine in their sole discretion. If the additional Commitments so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, Arranger or Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, Arranger and Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment.

          (b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans. The participation interests of the Lenders in Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date those

Lenders whose Commitment Percentages are increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentages are decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages. To the extent such reallocation results in certain Lenders receiving funds which are applied to LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the affected Lenders the Breakage Costs for each such Lender (provided that the parties agree to attempt to coordinate the closing of any increase of the Total Commitment to minimize Breakage Costs that may come due); provided , however , each Lender agrees to apply any amounts received by them pursuant to this §2.10(b) first to the principal of any Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Lender.

          (c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.10 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1 and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal face amount of such Lender’s Note shall equal its Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes. Within five (5) days of issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this §2.10(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Notes and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement. The surrendered Notes shall be promptly canceled and returned to the Borrower.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.10 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 (A) to the Agent those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arranger such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an additional Commitment may require to increase the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the increased Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and

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

               (iii)  Representations True . The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of

the Borrower and the Guarantors 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 Total Commitment is increased (except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement that singly or in the aggregate have not had or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and except to the extent such representations relate expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased; and

               (iv)  Additional Documents and Expenses . The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents (including, without limitation, amendments to the Security Documents), instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, and the Borrower shall pay all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are or are to be incurred by Agent, Arranger or the Lenders in connection with such increase; and

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

     §2.11 Extension of Maturity Date . The Borrower shall have the one-time right and option, in its sole discretion, to extend the Maturity Date to December 29, 2010, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Maturity Date:

          (a) Extension Request . The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not later than the date which is forty-five (45) days prior to the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension). Any such Extension Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

          (b) Payment of Extension Fee . The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to twenty (20) basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

          (c) No Default . On the date the Extension Request is given and on the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

          (d) Representations and Warranties . The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantors 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 the Extension Request is given and on the Maturity Date (as

determined without regard to such extension) other than for representations to the extent they relate expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date, and except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement that singly or in the aggregate have not had or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) Updated Appraisals . Agent at its option, in its reasonable discretion, shall have obtained from an Approved Appraiser at Borrower’s expense new Appraisals or updates to existing Appraisals and determined the current Appraised Values of the Subject Properties and the properties subject to Eligible Notes Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value.

§3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

     §3.1 Stated Maturity . The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the 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 outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds (a) the Total Commitment or (b) the Borrowing Base Advance Amount, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.

     §3.3 Optional Prepayments . The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, and in the case of prepayment in full, at Borrower’s election, to terminate the Commitments; provided , that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not 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. (Cleveland time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent).

     §3.4 Partial Prepayments . Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans.

     §3.5 Effect of Prepayments . Amounts of the Loans prepaid under §3.2 and §3.3 prior to the Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     §4.1 Conversion Options .

          (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Loans to a Loan of another Type and such Loans 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, unless Borrower elects to pay the Breakage Costs association with such conversion; (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 two (2) 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 $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $200,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than ten (10) 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 Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $200,000.00. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender 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/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

          (b) Any LIBOR Rate 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; 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 LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan for the same Interest Period (unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case the Interest Period shall be the Interest Period closest to the time remaining, without exceeding the time to the Maturity Date) at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

     §4.2 Fees . The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to the separate fee letter dated September 15, 2006 between Parent and KeyBank (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.

     §4.3 [ Intentionally Omitted .]

     §4.4 Funds for Payments .

          (a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit 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 Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland 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 KeyBank, 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 Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by Agent.

          (b) 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 income or franchise taxes imposed on any Lender), 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 it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders 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 Lenders or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders 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 any other Loan Document.

          (c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower 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 Lender, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, indicates the withholding status of such Lender; 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). In the event that the Borrower shall have delivered the certificates or vouchers described above for any payments made by the Borrower and such Lender receives a refund of any taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to §4.4(b), such Lender will pay to the Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund, the Borrower shall promptly repay to such Lender the amount of such refund.

          (d) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

     §4.5 Computations . All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. 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 Loans as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error.

     §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 in its good faith

discretion determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders 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 Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders 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 promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

     §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 Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder.

     §4.8 Additional Interest . If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

     §4.9 Additional Costs, Etc . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to §4.14, if any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

          (a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the gross receipts, income or profits of such Lender or the Agent or its franchise tax), or

          (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross receipts, income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

          (c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

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

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

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

               (iii) to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent.

     §4.10 Capital Adequacy . If after the date hereof any Lender determines in good faith 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 Lender 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 Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’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 Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined by Lender in its good faith discretion, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.

     §4.11 Breakage Costs . Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement.

     §4.12 Default Interest . Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.0%) above the Base Rate (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of Credit shall be increased to a rate equal to two percent (2.0%) above the Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.

     §4.13 Certificate . A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     §4.14 Limitation on Interest . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders 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 Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders 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 and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders 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 (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 Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.

     §4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs . If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon request of Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.9 or §4.10 (each, an “Affected Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation, Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders 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 Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

§5. COLLATERAL SECURITY.

     §5.1 Collateral . The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected first priority lien to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Equity Interests pledged pursuant to the Assignment of Interests. The Obligations shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to the Guaranty.

     §5.2 Appraisals; Adjusted Value .

          (a) In the event that Borrower elects to extend the Maturity Date as provided in §2.11, then the Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (either in connection with any such

extension or at any time thereafter), in its reasonable discretion, obtain updates to existing Appraisals of each of the Subject Properties and any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable. Said updated Appraisals will be ordered by Agent or a third-party consultant on behalf of Borrower from an Approved Appraiser, and reviewed and approved by the appraisal department of the Agent, and the Borrower shall pay to such Approved Appraiser, promptly upon delivery to Borrower by Agent of an invoice from such Approved Appraiser, all reasonable costs of such Appraisals.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of §5.2(a), the Agent may, for the purpose of determining the current Appraised Value of the Subject Properties and any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable, obtain new Appraisals or an update to existing Appraisals with respect to the Subject Properties and any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable, or any of them, as the Agent shall in good faith determine (i) at any time that the regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall require more frequent Appraisals, or (ii) at any time following a Default or Event of Default, or (iii) if the Agent reasonably believes that there has been a material adverse change with respect to any Subject Property or any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable including, without limitation, a material change in the market in which any Subject Property or any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable is located, which may reasonably be expected to affect the value of such Subject Property or any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable. The expense of such Appraisals and/or updates performed pursuant to this §5.2(b) shall be borne by the Borrower and payable to such Approved Appraiser, promptly upon delivery to Borrower by Agent of an invoice from such Approved Appraiser; provided the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for an Appraisal of a Subject Property or any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable obtained pursuant to this §5.2(b) more often than once in any period of twelve (12) months.

          (c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent has the right to approve, in its reasonable discretion, any Appraisal performed pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees that the Lenders and Agent do not make any representations or warranties with respect to any such Appraisal and shall have no liability as a result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for statements contained in such Appraisal, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of such Appraisal from the fair value of such property that is the subject of such Appraisal given by the local tax assessor’s office, or the Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.

     §5.3 Addition of Equity Interests .

          (a) After the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders (which consent may be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion) and the satisfaction by the Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.3, to add Potential Collateral to the Collateral for the purpose of increasing the Borrowing Base Value. In the event the Borrower desires to add additional Potential Collateral as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall

promptly furnish to the Lenders), together with all documentation and other information reasonably required to permit the Agent to determine whether the assets to which such Potential Collateral relates are Eligible Real Estate or an Eligible Note Receivable. Agent shall provide the information described in §5.3(b)(i)-(viii) to the Lenders within three (3) Business Days of receipt. Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the receipt of the last of such documentation and other information to advise the Borrower whether the Required Lenders consent to the acceptance of such Potential Collateral. If a Lender shall fail to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such proposed Potential Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Potential Collateral shall be included as Collateral unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

               (i) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a written request to add such Potential Collateral as Collateral, together with a description of such Potential Collateral;

               (ii) The owner of the Eligible Real Estate or Eligible Note Receivable shall be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower;

               (iii) the owner of such Eligible Real Estate or Eligible Note Receivable (and any indirect owner of such Subsidiary) shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of §5.5;

               (iv) the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have executed and delivered to the Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents, all of which instruments, documents or agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

               (v) Agent and Borrower shall have entered into an amendment to the Assignment of Interests such that Agent shall have a first priority perfected lien on 100% of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary owning such Eligible Real Estate or Eligible Note Receivable, and Borrower shall have delivered to Agent certificates evidencing such Equity Interests together with such transfer powers or assignments as Agent may reasonably require, and Agent shall have recorded such UCC financing statements or amendments thereto reflecting such pledge as Agent may reasonably require (Agent agreeing to promptly send for filing such amendments);

               (vi) prior to or contemporaneously with such addition, Borrower shall have submitted to Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared on a pro forma basis (and adjusted to give effect to such addition) and shall certify that after giving effect of such addition, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;

               (vii) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Potential Collateral, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the addition of such Potential Collateral, with the same effect

as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date) and except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement that singly or in the aggregate have not had or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (including, without limitation, any Default under §7.18), and the Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower to such effect; and

               (viii) Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Required Lenders to, the inclusion of such Potential Collateral as Collateral.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event such Potential Collateral does not qualify as such, such Potential Collateral shall be included as Collateral so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Requisite Lenders to the inclusion of such Potential Collateral.

          (b) Borrower may, at its option, obtain preliminary approval of the Required Lenders of Potential Collateral by delivering to the Agent and each of the Lenders the following with respect to such Potential Collateral:

               (i) Owner shall deliver to Agent a written request to add such Potential Collateral as Collateral, together with a description of such Potential Collateral;

               (ii) Borrower’s internal investment committee approval package;

               (iii) any tenant leases, including all amendments thereto, associated with the proposed asset;

               (iv) a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate showing the impact of the addition of such Potential Collateral to the Collateral;

               (v) an updated title commitment for the subject property;

               (vi) a physical description of the real estate;

               (vii) a current environmental report, a current engineering report and similar information reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

               (viii) a certification to the knowledge of Borrower that such real estate or note receivable will satisfy (or is anticipated to satisfy upon the acceptance of the Equity Interests relating to such real estate or note receivable as Collateral) each of the other conditions to the acceptance of the Equity Interests relating to real estate or a note receivable as Collateral; and

               (ix) such other documents which may be reasonably requested by Agent.

The Required Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of all of the foregoing items to grant or deny preliminary approval for such proposed Potential Collateral. If a Lender shall fail to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such proposed Potential Collateral. Agent shall notify the Borrower if and when the Required Lenders have granted such preliminary approval. In the event that the Required Lenders grant such preliminary approval, the Borrower shall satisfy the remaining requirements to the acceptance of such Collateral as provided in §5.3(a), except to the extent waived by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion. Such Collateral shall not be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value until the requirements of §5.3(a) are satisfied, unless to the extent waived by the Required Lenders in accordance with the preceding sentence.

     §5.4 Release of Collateral . Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.4), the Agent shall release the Equity Interests in a Subsidiary Guarantor from the lien or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of the Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:
