PART I
Financial information in this report is in thousands except share and per share amounts.
Item 1. Business.
(a) General Development of Business
Overview
We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions and other factors.
Our core investment strategy is to own and manage a portfolio of properties leased to a diversified group of companies on a single tenant net lease basis. Our net leases generally require the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property such as maintenance, insurance, taxes, structural repairs and other operating expenses (referred to as triple-net leases). We generally seek to include in our leases:
    clauses providing for mandated rent increases or periodic rent increases over the term of the lease tied to increases in the consumer price index (“CPI”) or other indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located or, when appropriate, increases tied to the volume of sales at the property;
 
    indemnification for environmental and other liabilities;
 
    operational or financial covenants of the tenant; and
 
    guarantees of lease obligations from parent companies or letters of credit.
We are managed by W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (“WPC”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “advisor”). WPC is a publicly-traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.”
The advisor provides both strategic and day-to-day management services for us, including capital funding services, investment research and analysis, investment financing and other investment acquisition related services, asset management, disposition of assets, investor relations and administrative services. The advisor also provides office space and other facilities for us. We pay asset management fees and certain transactional fees to the advisor and also reimburse the advisor for certain costs incurred in providing services, including personnel provided for the administration of our operations. The advisor also serves in this capacity for Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated (“CPA®:15”) and Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated (“CPA®:16 — Global”), and served in this capacity for Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated (“CPA®:12”) until we acquired CPA®:12 in December 2006, as described below (collectively, including us, the “CPA® REITs”).
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on June 4, 1997. Between November 1997 and November 2001, we sold a total of 65,794,280 shares of common stock for a total of $657,943 in gross offering proceeds. Through December 31, 2006, we have also issued 2,239,225 shares ($25,938) through our Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan. These proceeds were used along with limited recourse mortgage debt to purchase our properties.
Our principal executive offices are located at 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020 and our telephone number is (212) 492-1100. As of December 31, 2006, we had no employees. WPC employs 122 individuals who are available to perform services for us.
Significant Developments During 2006:
Merger with CPA®:12 — On December 1, 2006, we completed a merger (the “merger”) with CPA®:12, an affiliate, pursuant to a merger agreement dated June 29, 2006. The merger provided a liquidation option for CPA®:12 shareholders and provided us with the opportunity to continue to grow and enhance our investment portfolio. Under the terms of the merger, which was approved by the shareholders of both companies at special meetings of the shareholders of each company held on November 30, 2006, we acquired CPA®:12’s business on December 1, 2006 and are the surviving company. The total purchase price for CPA®:12 was $540,500, which was comprised of 18,470,351 shares of our common stock ($218,874 based on a value of $11.85 per share), $102,176 in consideration for CPA®:12 shareholders who redeemed their interests (9,920,039 shares of CPA®:12), $215,369 in fair value of debt and other liabilities assumed (including our pro rata share of fair value of debt assumed on investments accounted for under the equity method) and transaction costs of $4,081. Prior to the merger, CPA®:12 sold certain of its properties or interests in properties to third parties and to the advisor. These properties had remaining lease terms of eight years or less and therefore did not meet our investment objectives. We also owned a 49.99% interest in one of these properties, which was sold to a third party in October 2006, and as a result of the

Table of Contents

sale, we made a special cash distribution of $0.04 per share, or $2,773, to our shareholders at the close of the merger (see Special Distributions below).
Under the terms of the merger agreement, CPA®:12’s shareholders had the right to elect to receive either $10.30 per share in cash or 0.8692 of our shares for each share of CPA®:12 owned as of October 20, 2006. The value of properties acquired and the exchange rates are based in large part on a third party valuation of the properties belonging to us and to CPA®:12 as of December 31, 2005 and were subsequently adjusted to reflect the Starmark Holdings LLC (“Starmark”) restructuring (see Tenant Activity below) but did not take into account any additional changes in value that may have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2005.
We have accounted for the merger under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values. The assets acquired primarily consist of commercial real estate assets net leased to single tenants, lease-related intangible assets, cash, a subordinated interest in a mortgage loan securitization, receivables and deposits. The liabilities assumed primarily consist of mortgage notes payable, accrued interest, accounts payable, security deposits and amounts due to former CPA®:12 shareholders. The amounts due to former CPA®:12 shareholders were paid on December 1, 2006. In addition, the advisor owned 2,134,140 shares of CPA®:12 as of December 1, 2006 and elected to receive $9,861 in cash and 1,022,800 shares of our stock on consummation of the merger.
We have entered into a $150,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank. The credit facility provides for an initial three year term and an annual interest rate of either (i) LIBOR plus a spread which ranges from 135 to 160 basis points depending on our leverage or (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 0.50%, plus a spread of up to 0.125% depending on our leverage ratio (see Item 7 — Financial Condition). In connection with the merger, we paid a fee to the lender of $1,033 and drew down $25,000 from our credit facility.
The advisor agreed to make available to us an additional loan of up to $50,000 to be funded using the advisor’s existing credit line. The loan from the advisor had a maturity date of May 2007 and bore interest ranging between LIBOR plus 110 basis points and 145 basis points, which are the same terms as the advisor’s existing credit line. In connection with the consummation of the merger on December 1, 2006, the advisor loaned $24,000 to us to facilitate the merger closing. We repaid the loan on December 5, 2006 with proceeds from our credit facility.
On completion of the merger, CPA®:12 paid the advisor termination and disposition compensation totaling $49,798. A subsidiary of the advisor has agreed to indemnify us if we were to suffer certain losses arising out of a breach by CPA®:12 of its representations and warranties under the merger agreement and having a material adverse effect on us after the merger, up to the amount of fees received by this subsidiary of the advisor in connection with the merger. The advisor has also agreed to waive any acquisition fees payable after the merger by us under our advisory agreement with the advisor in respect of the properties being acquired in the merger and has also agreed to waive any disposition fees that may subsequently be payable by us to the advisor upon a sale of such assets. However, we agreed to assume deferred acquisition fees incurred by CPA®:12 prior to the merger totaling $2,734 that bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and have scheduled installment payments through 2013.
Tenant Activity — We and an affiliate own interests in a venture owning 15 properties formerly leased to Starmark (formerly the parent of Starmark Camhood L.L.C.) under a master lease agreement. We owned a 41% interest in this venture and acquired an additional 15% interest in the venture in the merger. We continue to account for this investment under the equity method of accounting as our affiliate is the managing member in the limited liability company and is required to consolidate the investment under the provisions of EITF 04-05. Our interest in this investment had a carrying value of $34,975 as of December 31, 2006 and accounted for a loss from equity investments in real estate of $7,786 during 2006. The loss in 2006 reflects the recognition of impairment charges and prepayment penalties and debt defeasance costs as described below.
In January 2006, the advisor entered into a cooperation agreement with Starmark. Under this cooperation agreement, the advisor, on behalf of ourselves and our affiliate, agreed to cooperate in Starmark’s efforts to sell its existing individual leasehold interests to third parties and restructure the lease agreements. Additionally, Starmark’s financial covenants were replaced by certain payment restrictions and an agreement to reserve certain of the proceeds of sale of the leasehold interests and other Starmark properties to cover certain costs the venture incurred in connection with transactions under the cooperation agreement.
In June 2006, the advisor approved a plan to restructure the master lease agreement with Starmark. Under the restructuring plan, six properties under the master lease agreement were re-leased to Life Time Fitness, Inc. (“Life Time”), a new tenant unaffiliated with Starmark, and Life Time entered into a commitment to provide $20,000 of improvements to these six properties. In connection with
CPA®:14 2006 10-K — 3

 


Table of Contents

the restructuring, four properties formerly leased to Starmark were transferred to Life Time in exchange for Life Time’s commitment to use $10,000 to fund a portion of the improvements to the six leased properties. This commitment is secured by letters of credit totaling $10,000. The venture has transferred title of these four properties to Life Time and the venture has no continuing involvement in the transferred properties. No gain or loss was recorded on the transfer of the four properties as the venture had previously written down the four transferred properties to their estimated fair values, as described below. The remaining $10,000 of improvements to the six leased properties will be funded through a rent abatement to the tenant of $2,322 and through security deposits and prepaid rent totaling $7,678 that were released by Starmark prior to the merger (of which our pro rata share is $952 and $3,148, respectively). The $20,000 of improvements (of which our pro rata share, following the merger, is $11,200) are for the benefit of the venture and will be retained by the venture upon expiration of the lease. One additional property was re-leased to Town Sports International Holdings, Inc., a second new tenant unaffiliated with Starmark, on terms similar to the original lease with Starmark. The master lease agreement was amended to remove these properties.
As a result of approving the restructuring plan, during the second quarter of 2006, the venture incurred charges totaling $24,978, including $18,678 to write off intangible assets on the properties leased to Starmark and $6,300 to reduce the carrying value of the four properties to be sold to their estimated fair values. Our pro rata share of these charges totals $10,241. During the third quarter of 2006, the venture also prepaid/defeased the existing debt of $100,857 and incurred prepayment penalties and debt defeasance costs totaling $10,072 (of which our share is $41,351 and $4,130, respectively). During the fourth quarter of 2006, the venture obtained new limited recourse mortgage financing of $80,000 on the Life Time properties at a fixed annual interest rate of 5.75% and with a 10-year term (of which our share is $32,800).
In December 2006, a third party, Fitness Ventures LLC (“Fitness Ventures”) purchased 100% of the existing shareholders’ interests in the ownership of Starmark. At this time, Fitness Ventures issued warrants to the Company and its affiliate to acquire up to 10% of its equity and entered into new leases for the four remaining properties under terms which are similar to the original master lease. Concurrent with these transactions, the cooperation agreement with Starmark was terminated and the venture recognized lease termination income of $8,145, of which $7,678 represents security deposits and prepaid rent from Starmark and $467 represents the release of real estate tax escrows funded by the venture which have been replaced by escrows funded by the new lessees. Our share of the termination income is $4,561.
Our share of the effects of the venture’s transactions will be reflected as part of income from equity investments in our statements of income in the periods described.
In June 2006, we entered into an agreement with a third party in connection with a property in Pennsylvania. Under the terms of the agreement, our existing warehouse facility was demolished and the existing land is being redeveloped as part of the construction of a new retail shopping center. In connection with demolishing the property, we recognized a charge to depreciation expense of $3,730 to fully depreciate the property. Upon completion of construction, the third party will transfer to us a newly constructed retail facility with a tenant in place. We defeased the outstanding limited recourse mortgage obligation of $3,859 as a result of entering into this transaction.
Disposition Activity — During 2006, we completed dispositions of two consolidated properties for $37,628, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales of $13,182, excluding impairment charges of $3,810 recognized in prior years. In connection with the sale of one of the properties, we repaid a mortgage obligation of $11,631 and incurred prepayment penalties of $1,586.
In June 2006, a venture in which we and an affiliate held 40% and 60% interests, respectively, sold a property in New York for $200,012, net of selling costs, and recognized a gain on the sale of $41,101, net of a $10,253 writeoff of unrecoverable receivables related to future stated rent increases. In connection with the sale, the venture repaid the existing limited recourse mortgage obligation of $81,166 and incurred a charge for prepayment penalties and related costs totaling $2,981. Our pro rata share of the gain, which was $16,441, and the charge for prepayment penalties of $1,192 are included in income from equity investments in real estate in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In October 2006, as described above, a venture through which we and CPA®:12 held 49.99% and 50.01% interests, respectively, in a property in California sold the property for $56,357 and recognized a gain on sale of $14,362, of which our share is $28,172 and $7,180, respectively. The venture also recognized a gain on the sale of additional properties in which we had no ownership interest. In connection with the sale, the venture repaid the outstanding mortgage obligation on this property of $19,680 and incurred a charge on the early extinguishment of debt of $1,788, of which our share is $9,838 and $894, respectively.
Special Distributions —In connection with our disposition activity, our board of directors approved a special distribution of $0.45 per share that was paid in July 2006, totaling $30,836, to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2006 and approved a second special distribution of $0.04 per share that was paid in January 2007, totaling $2,773, to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2006.

Financing Activity — In March 2006, we prepaid a variable rate mortgage obligation of $8,677 that was scheduled to mature in 2025 but was effectively fixed through an interest rate swap agreement that was scheduled to expire in 2007. In June 2006, we obtained $12,000 of new limited recourse mortgage financing on this property with an annual fixed rate of 6.20% and a 10-year term.
We and the advisor, which each own 50% interests in a property in Norcross, Georgia, paid a $20,599 balloon payment when it came due in June 2006 and refinanced the mortgage obligation for $30,000, of which our share is $10,299 and $15,000, respectively. The new limited recourse mortgage financing has an annual fixed interest rate of 6.18% and a 10-year term. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.
Directors — The following changes in our board of directors occurred during 2006:
    In April 2006, James D. Price resigned from the board of directors. Mr. Price remained an independent director of the board of directors of CPA®:12. Concurrently, Gordon F. DuGan resigned from our board of directors in order to maintain a majority of independent directors on the board of directors, as provided in our bylaws.
 
    In July 2006, Richard J. Pinola was appointed to the board of directors and serves as an independent director and chairman of the audit committee of the board of directors.
 
    In December 2006, upon completion of the CPA®:12 merger, the independent directors of CPA®:12, Mr. Price and Elizabeth P. Munson, joined our board of directors.
SEC Investigation — WPC and Carey Financial, the wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of WPC, are currently subject to an investigation by the SEC into payments made to third-party broker-dealers in connection with the distribution of REITs managed by WPC and other matters. Although no regulatory action has been initiated against WPC or Carey Financial in connection with the matters being investigated, we expect that the SEC may pursue an action in the future. The potential timing of any action and the nature of the relief or remedies the SEC may seek cannot be predicted at this time. If an action is brought, it could materially affect WPC and the CPA® REITs managed by WPC, including us. See Item 3 — Legal Proceedings for a discussion of this investigation.
Sarbanes-Oxley — We did not perform compliance testing in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for 2006 as, pursuant to clarified SEC interpretations, we are no longer considered an accelerated filer. As a non-accelerated filer, we will be required to perform compliance testing in 2007.
Refer to Subsequent Events in Item 7 for developments that have occurred since December 31, 2006.
(b) Financial Information About Segments
We operate in one industry segment, real estate operations with domestic and foreign investments. Refer to the Segment Information footnote of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for financial information about this segment.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
Business Objectives and Strategy
We invest primarily in income-producing commercial real estate properties, which are upon acquisition, improved or developed or which will be developed within a reasonable time after acquisition.
Our objectives are to:
    own a diversified portfolio of triple-net leased real estate;
 
    fund distributions to shareholders; and
 
    increase our equity in our real estate by making regular mortgage principal payments.
We seek to achieve these objectives by investing in and holding commercial properties each triple-net leased to a single corporate tenant. We intend our portfolio to be diversified by tenant, facility type, geographic location and tenant industry.
Our business plan is principally focused on managing our existing portfolio of properties, including those properties we acquired from CPA®:12. However, we may look to take advantage of increases in real estate prices by selectively disposing of properties, by obtaining new limited recourse mortgage financing on unencumbered assets or by refinancing mortgages on existing properties if we can obtain such financing on attractive terms, and may use these funds along with existing cash resources to make future acquisitions if attractive opportunities arise.

Asset Management
We believe that effective management of our net lease assets is essential to maintain and enhance property values. Important aspects of asset management include restructuring transactions to meet the evolving needs of current tenants, re-leasing properties, refinancing debt, selling properties and knowledge of the bankruptcy process.
The advisor monitors, on an ongoing basis, compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of any of our properties. Monitoring involves receiving assurances that each tenant has paid real estate taxes, assessments and other expenses relating to the properties it occupies and confirming that appropriate insurance coverage is being maintained by the tenant. The advisor reviews financial statements of our tenants and undertakes regular physical inspections of the condition and maintenance of our properties. Additionally, the advisor periodically analyzes each tenant’s financial condition, the industry in which each tenant operates and each tenant’s relative strength in its industry.
Holding Period
We intend to hold each property we invest in for an extended period. The determination of whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors with a view to achieving maximum capital appreciation for our shareholders. No assurance can be given that this objective will be realized.
Our intention is to consider alternatives for providing liquidity for our shareholders generally after eight years following the investment of substantially all of the net proceeds from our initial public offering. On this basis, we currently expect that we may begin considering liquidity alternatives in 2008. We may provide liquidity for our shareholders through a liquidity transaction which could include sales of assets, either on a portfolio basis or individually, a listing of our shares on a stock exchange or inclusion of our shares in an automated quotation system, a merger (which may include a merger with one or more of our affiliated CPA® REITs and/or with the advisor) or another transaction approved by our board of directors. During the period that we are considering liquidity alternatives, we may choose to limit the making of new investments, unless our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, determines that, in light of our expected life, it is in our shareholders’ best interests for us to make new investments. We are under no obligation to liquidate our portfolio within any particular period since the precise timing will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions of the areas in which the properties are located and U.S. federal income tax effects on shareholders which may prevail in the future. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a liquidity event. In the most recent instances in which CPA® REIT shareholders were provided with liquidity, including our merger with CPA®:12, the liquidating entity merged with another, later-formed CPA® REIT. In each of these

transactions, shareholders of the liquidating entity were offered the opportunity to exchange their shares either for shares of the merged entity or for cash a short-term note.
Financing Strategies
Consistent with our investment policies, we use leverage when available on favorable terms. As of December 31, 2006, substantially all of our mortgages are limited recourse and provide for monthly or quarterly installments, which include scheduled payments of principal. As of December 31, 2006, 81% of our limited recourse mortgage financing bears interest at fixed rates. The majority of our variable rate debt consists of limited recourse mortgage obligations that currently bear interest at fixed rates but may be reset in the future, pursuant to the terms of the mortgage contracts. Accordingly, our near term cash flow should not be adversely affected by increases in interest rates. The advisor may refinance properties or defease a loan when a decline in interest rates makes it profitable to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase the investment. There is no assurance that existing debt will be refinanced at lower rates of interest as the debt matures. The benefits of the refinancing may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements, an increase in distributions from proceeds of the refinancing, if any, and/or an increase in property ownership if some refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate. The prepayment of loans may require us to pay a yield maintenance premium to the lender in order to pay off a loan prior to its maturity.
A lender on limited recourse mortgage debt generally has recourse only to the property collateralizing such debt and not to any of our other assets, while unsecured financing would give a lender recourse to all of our assets. The use of limited recourse debt, therefore, will help us to limit the exposure of all of our assets to any one debt obligation. Lenders may, however, have recourse to our other assets in limited circumstances not related to the repayment of the indebtedness, such as under an environmental indemnity or in the case of fraud.
In connection with the merger, we entered into a $150,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank. The credit facility provides for an initial loan term of three years and an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 135 to 160 basis points, and will be guaranteed by all of our current and future subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. In connection with the merger, we paid a fee to the lender of $1,033 and drew down $25,000 from our credit facility (see Item 1 — Significant Developments During 2006).
Investment Strategies
We invest primarily in income-producing properties that are, upon acquisition, improved or being developed or that are to be developed within a reasonable period after acquisition.
Most of our property acquisitions, including the properties acquired in the merger, are through long-term net leased assets, many of which are through long-term sale-leaseback transactions in which we acquire properties from companies that simultaneously lease the properties back from us. These sale-leaseback transactions provide the lessee company with a source of capital that is an alternative to other financing sources such as corporate borrowing, mortgaging real property, or selling shares of common stock.
Our sale-leasebacks may be in conjunction with acquisitions, recapitalizations or other corporate transactions. We may act as one of several sources of financing for these transactions by purchasing real property from the seller and net leasing it to the company or its successor in interest (the lessee). Through the advisor, we actively seek such opportunities.
In analyzing potential net lease investment opportunities, the advisor reviews all aspects of a transaction, including the credit worthiness of the tenant or borrower and the underlying real estate fundamentals to determine whether a potential acquisition satisfies our acquisition criteria. The advisor may consider the following aspects of each transaction:
Tenant/Borrower Evaluation. — The advisor evaluates each potential tenant or borrower for its creditworthiness, typically considering factors such as management experience; industry position and fundamentals; operating history; and capital structure, as well as other factors that may be relevant to a particular investment. In evaluating a possible investment, the creditworthiness of a tenant or borrower often is a more significant factor than the value of the underlying real estate, particularly if the underlying property is specifically suited to the needs of the tenant; however, in certain circumstances where the real estate is attractively valued, the creditworthiness of the tenant may be a secondary consideration. Whether a prospective tenant or borrower is creditworthy is determined by the advisor or the investment committee of the advisor. Creditworthy does not mean “investment grade.”
Properties Important to Tenant/Borrower Operations. — The advisor focuses on properties that it believes are essential or important to the ongoing operations of the tenant. The advisor believes that these properties provide better protection in the event of a bankruptcy, since a tenant/borrower is less likely to risk the loss of a mission critical lease or property in a bankruptcy proceeding.
CPA®:14 2006 10-K — 9

 


Table of Contents

Diversification. — The advisor attempts to diversify our portfolio to avoid dependence on any one particular tenant, borrower, collateral type, geographic location or tenant/borrower industry. By diversifying our portfolio, the advisor reduces the adverse effect of a single under-performing investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic region.
Lease Terms. — Generally, the net leased properties in which we invest will be leased on a full recourse basis to our tenants or their affiliates. In addition, the advisor will seek to include a clause in each lease that provides for increases in rent over the term of the lease. These increases are fixed or tied generally to increases in indices such as the CPI. In the case of retail stores and hotels, the lease may provide for participation in gross revenues above a stated level. Alternatively, a lease may provide for mandated rental increases on specific dates or other methods.
Collateral Evaluation. — The advisor reviews the physical condition of the property, and conducts a market evaluation to determine the likelihood of replacing the rental stream if the tenant defaults, or of a sale of the property in such circumstances. The advisor also generally conducts, or requires the seller to conduct, Phase I or similar environmental site assessments (including a visual inspection for the potential presence of asbestos) in an attempt to identify potential environmental liabilities associated with a property prior to its acquisition. If potential environmental liabilities are identified, we generally require that identified environmental issues be resolved by the seller prior to property acquisition or, where such issues cannot be resolved prior to acquisition, require tenants contractually to assume responsibility for resolving identified environmental issues post-closing and indemnify us against any potential claims, losses or expenses arising from such matters. Although the advisor generally relies on its own analysis in determining whether to make an investment, each real property purchased by us will be appraised by a third party appraiser that is independent of the advisor, prior to acquisition. The contractual purchase price (plus acquisition fees, but excluding acquisition expenses, payable to the advisor) for a real property we acquire will not exceed its appraised value. The appraisals may take into consideration, among other things, the terms and conditions of the particular lease transaction, the quality of the lessee’s credit and the conditions of the credit markets at the time the lease transaction is negotiated. The appraised value may be greater than the construction cost or the replacement cost of a property, and the actual sale price of a property if sold by us may be greater or less than the appraised value. In cases of special purpose real estate, a property is examined in light of the prospects for the tenant/borrower’s enterprise and the financial strength and the role of that asset in the context of the tenant/borrower’s overall viability. Operating results of properties and other collateral may be examined to determine whether or not projected income levels are likely to be met.
Transaction Provisions that Enhance and Protect Value. — The advisor attempts to include provisions in its leases that require our consent to specified activity, require the tenant to provide indemnification protections, or require the tenant to satisfy specific operating tests. These provisions may help protect our investment from changes in the operating and financial characteristics of a tenant that may affect its ability to satisfy its obligations to us or reduce the value of our investment. The advisor may also seek to enhance the likelihood of a tenant’s lease obligations being satisfied through a guarantee of obligations from the tenant’s corporate parent or a letter of credit. This credit enhancement, if obtained, provides us with additional financial security. However, in markets where competition for net lease transactions is strong, some or all of these provisions may be difficult to negotiate. In addition, in some circumstances, tenants may require a right to purchase the property leased by the tenant. The option purchase price is generally the greater of the contract purchase price and the fair market value of the property at the time the option is exercised.
Other Equity Enhancements. — The advisor may attempt to obtain equity enhancements in connection with transactions. These equity enhancements may involve warrants exercisable at a future time to purchase stock of the tenant or borrower or their parent. If warrants are obtained, and become exercisable, and if the value of the stock subsequently exceeds the exercise price of the warrant, equity enhancements can help us to achieve our goal of increasing investor returns.
Investment Decisions —The advisor’s investment department, under the oversight of its chief investment officer, is primarily responsible for evaluating, negotiating and structuring potential investment opportunities for the CPA® REITs and WPC. Before an investment is made, the transaction is reviewed by the advisor’s investment committee. The investment committee is not directly involved in originating or negotiating potential investments, but instead functions as a separate and final step in the acquisition process. The advisor places special emphasis on having experienced individuals serve on its investment committee subject to limited exceptions, the advisor generally will not invest in a transaction on our behalf unless it is approved by the investment committee. For transactions that meet the investment criteria of more than one CPA® REIT, the chief investment officer has discretion as to which CPA® REIT or REITs will hold the investment. In cases where two or more CPA® REITs (or one or more CPA® REIT and the advisor) will hold the investment, the independent directors of each CPA® REIT investing in the property must also approve the transaction.

Segments
We operate in one industry segment, real estate operations with domestic and foreign investments. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Carrefour France, SAS represented 11.5% of our total lease revenue.
Competition
We face competition for the acquisition of commercial properties in general, and such properties net leased to major corporations in particular, from many sources, including insurance companies, credit companies, pension funds, private individuals, private funds such as hedge funds, financial institutions, finance companies, investment companies and other REITs. We also face competition from institutions that provide or arrange for other types of commercial financing through private or public offerings of equity or debt or traditional bank financings. These institutions may accept greater risk or lower returns, allowing them to offer more attractive terms to prospective tenants. We believe the advisor’s experience in real estate, credit underwriting and transaction structuring should allow us to compete effectively for commercial properties.
Environmental Matters
Our properties generally are currently or historically used for commercial purposes, including industrial and manufacturing properties. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, current and former owners and operators of property may have liability for the cost of investigating, cleaning up or disposing of hazardous materials released at, on, under, in or from the property. These laws typically impose responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or was responsible for the presence of hazardous materials or contamination, and liability under these laws is often joint and several. Third parties may also make claims against owners or operators of properties for personal injuries and property damage associated with releases of hazardous materials.
While we typically perform assessments of potential environmental risks when evaluating a new acquisition of property, no assurance can be given that we have performed such assessments on all of our properties, or that the environmental assessments we do perform will disclose all potential environmental liabilities and we may purchase a property that contains hazardous materials in the building, or that is known to have or be near soil or groundwater contamination. In addition, new environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns may arise or be discovered during our ownership.
While we frequently obtain contractual protection (indemnities, cash reserves, letters of credit or other instruments) from property sellers, tenants, a tenant’s parent company or another third party to address these known or potential issues, we cannot eliminate our statutory liability or the potential for claims against us by governmental authorities or other third parties. The contractual protection may not cover all potential damages or liabilities, and the indemnifying party may fail to meet its contractual obligations. In addition, the existence of any environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns at or near our properties could adversely affect our ability to rent or sell property or to borrow using the property as collateral and could also adversely affect the tenant’s ability to make rental payments.
As a result of all of the foregoing, we have incurred in the past and will incur in the future costs and liabilities to investigate environmental matters and to address environmental conditions, liabilities and compliance concerns. Although we do not currently anticipate incurring any material liabilities in connection with environmental matters, we cannot assure you that future environmental costs and liabilities will not be material or will not adversely affect our business.
Transactions with Affiliates
We may acquire assets from our affiliates, including the CPA® REITs, if we believe that doing so is consistent with our investment objectives and we comply with our investment policies and procedures. These transactions may take the form of direct purchases of
CPA®:14 2006 10-K — 11

 


Table of Contents

assets, mergers or another type of transaction. Like us, the other CPA® REITs intend to consider alternatives for providing liquidity for their shareholders some years after they have invested substantially all of the net proceeds from their public offerings. As described above, in December 2006 we acquired CPA®:12 by merger.
Types of Investments
Substantially all of our investments to date have been and will continue to be income-producing properties, which are, upon acquisition, improved or being developed or which will be developed within a reasonable period of time after their acquisition. These investments have primarily been through sale-leaseback transactions, in which we invest in properties from companies that simultaneously lease the properties back from us subject to long-term leases. Investments will not be restricted as to geographical areas.
Ventures With Affiliates and Others — We have and may continue to enter into joint ventures or general partnerships and other participations with real estate developers, owners and others, including other CPA® REITs, for the purpose of obtaining equity interests in a property or properties in accordance with our investment policies. These investments permit us to own interests in large properties without unduly restricting the diversity of our portfolio. We will not enter into a joint venture to make an investment that we would not be permitted to make on our own.
Other Investments — We may invest up to 10% of our net equity in unimproved or non-income-producing real property and in “equity interests.” Investment in equity interests in the aggregate will not exceed five percent of our net equity. Such “equity interests” are defined generally to mean stock, warrants or other rights to purchase the stock of, or other interests in, a tenant of a property, an entity to which we lend money or a parent or controlling person of a borrower or tenant. We may invest in unimproved or non-income-producing property which the advisor believes will appreciate in value, or which will increase the value of adjoining or neighboring properties we own. There can be no assurance that these expectations will be realized. Often, equity interests will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Under this rule, we may be prohibited from reselling the equity securities without limitation until we have fully paid for and held the securities for one year. It is possible that the issuer of equity interests in which we invest may never register the interests under the Securities Act. Whether an issuer registers its securities under the Securities Act may depend on the success of its operations.
We will exercise warrants or other rights to purchase stock generally if the value of the stock at the time the rights are exercised exceeds the exercise price. Payment of the exercise price shall not be deemed an investment subject to the above described limitations. We may borrow funds to pay the exercise price on warrants or other rights or may pay the exercise price from funds held for working capital and then repay the loan or replenish the working capital upon the sale of the securities or interests purchased. We will not consider paying distributions out of the proceeds of the sale of these interests until any funds borrowed to purchase the interest have been fully repaid.
We will not invest in real estate contracts of sale unless the contracts of sale are in recordable form and are appropriately recorded in the applicable chain of title.
Cash resources will be invested in permitted temporary investments, which include short-term U.S. Government securities, bank certificates of deposit, other short-term liquid investments and auction-rate securities. Auction-rate securities are purchases of long-term income instruments which provide for frequent resets of stated interest rates. A market exists to provide for redemption of auction-rate securities at the interest reset date, generally at par value; however, there is a risk that a redemption price will be below par value. We had no auction-rate securities in 2006. To maintain our REIT qualification, we also may invest in securities that qualify as “real estate assets” and produce qualifying income under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Any investments in other REITs in which the advisor or any director is an affiliate must be approved as being fair and reasonable by a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) who are not otherwise interested in the transaction.
If at any time the character of our investments would cause us to be deemed an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, we will take the necessary action to ensure that we are not deemed to be an “investment company.” The advisor will continually review our investment activity, including attempting to monitor the proportion of our portfolio that is placed in various investments, to attempt to ensure that we do not come within the application of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Our reserves, if any, will be invested in permitted temporary investments. The advisor will evaluate the relative risks and rate of return, our cash needs and other appropriate considerations when making short-term investments on our behalf. The rate of return of permitted temporary investments may be less than would be obtainable from real estate investments.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our future results may be affected by risks and uncertainties including the following:
We are subject to the risks of real estate ownership, which could reduce the value of our properties.
We are subject to all of the general risks associated with the ownership of real estate. While the revenues from our leases are not directly dependent upon the value of the real estate owned, significant declines in real estate values could adversely affect us in many ways, including a decline in the residual values of properties at lease expiration; possible lease abandonments by tenants; and a decline in the attractiveness of triple-net lease transactions to potential sellers. We also face the risk that lease revenue will be insufficient to cover all corporate operating expenses and debt service payments on indebtedness we incur. General risks associated with the ownership of real estate include:
    adverse changes in general or local economic conditions,
 
    changes in the supply of or demand for similar or competing properties,
 
    changes in interest rates and operating expenses,
 
    competition for tenants,
 
    changes in market rental rates,
 
    inability to lease properties upon termination of existing leases,
 
    renewal of leases at lower rental rates,
 
    inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy,
 
    changes in tax, real estate, zoning and environmental laws that may have an adverse impact upon the value of real estate,
 
    uninsured property liability, property damage or casualty losses,
 
    unexpected expenditures for capital improvements or to bring properties into compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws, and
 
    acts of God and other factors beyond the control of our management.
WPC and Carey Financial are the subjects of an ongoing SEC investigation, the effects of which could be materially adverse to them and, possibly, us.
WPC has disclosed in its publicly available reports filed with the SEC, that the Division of Enforcement of the SEC has commenced an investigation into certain activities of WPC and Carey Financial involving other REITs managed by WPC. WPC has announced that it and Carey Financial are cooperating fully with the SEC’s investigation and that they have provided information to the Division of Enforcement in response to subpoenas and document requests. Although no formal regulatory action has been initiated against WPC or Carey Financial in connection with the matters being investigated, WPC has publicly reported that it expects the SEC to pursue an action against WPC or Carey Financial or both in the future which could have a material adverse effect on WPC or Carey Financial or both. If an action is brought, it could have a material adverse effect on WPC and its affiliates and Carey Financial. Any action brought against WPC or Carey Financial could also have a material adverse effect on us because of our dependence on WPC and Carey Financial for a broad range of services.
We may have difficulty selling or re-leasing our properties.
Real estate investments generally lack liquidity compared to other financial assets and this lack of liquidity will limit our ability to quickly change our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The triple-net leases we enter into or acquire may be for properties that are specially suited to the particular needs of our tenant. With these properties, if the current lease is terminated or not renewed, we may be required to renovate the property or to make rent concessions in order to lease the property to another

tenant. In addition, if we are forced to sell the property, we may have difficulty selling it to a party other than the tenant due to the special purpose for which the property may have been designed. These and other limitations may affect our ability to sell or re-lease properties without adversely affecting returns to shareholders. See Our Portfolio section above for scheduled lease expirations.
Our success is dependent on the performance of the advisor.
Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of the advisor in the selection of tenants, the determination of any financing arrangements, and the management of our assets. You have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments. You must rely entirely on the management ability of the advisor and the oversight of our board of directors. We cannot guaranty that the advisor will be able to successfully achieve liquidity for us to the extent it has done so for prior programs.
The advisor may be subject to conflicts of interest.
The advisor manages our business and selects our real estate investments. The advisor has some conflicts of interest in its management of us, which arise primarily from the involvement of the advisor in other activities that may conflict with us and the payment of fees by us to the advisor. Unless the advisor elects to receive our common stock in lieu of cash compensation, we will pay the advisor substantial fees for the services it provides, which will reduce the amount of cash available for investment in properties or distribution to our shareholders. Activities in which a conflict could arise between the advisor and us include:
    the receipt of compensation by the advisor for property purchases, leases, sales and financing for us may cause the advisor to engage in transactions that generate higher fees, rather than transactions that are more appropriate or beneficial for our business;
 
    agreements between us and the advisor, including agreements regarding compensation, have not been negotiated on an arm’s length basis as would occur if the agreements were with unaffiliated third parties;
 
    sale of single properties or portfolios of our properties to our affiliates, including WPC or the CPA® REITs may take the form of a direct purchase of our assets by an affiliate, a merger with an affiliate or another type of transaction, which may result in the payment of significant transactional fees to the advisor as well as management fees;
 
    purchases and loans from affiliates, subject to our investment procedures, objectives and policies, will increase fees and interest payable to affiliates, thereby decreasing our net income and possibly causing us to incur higher leverage levels; and
 
    disposition, incentive and termination fees, which are based on the sale price of properties, may cause a conflict between the advisor’s desire to sell a property and our plans to hold the property.
We have limited independence from the advisor.
All of our management functions are performed by officers of the advisor pursuant to our advisory agreement with the advisor. Each member of our board of directors, including our chairman, is a director of the advisor or one or more of its affiliates. Our independent directors are initially selected through a process which includes significant input from the advisor and also serve as the independent directors of other advisor-sponsored REITs. As a result of the foregoing, we have limited independence from the advisor. This limited independence, combined with the advisor’s limited equity interests in us, may exacerbate the conflicts of interest described in this section because of the substantial control that the advisor has over us and because of its economic incentives that may differ from those of our shareholders.
There is not, and may never be a public market for our shares, so it will be difficult for shareholders to sell shares quickly.
There is no current public market for our shares. Our charter also prohibits the ownership of more than 9.8% of our stock, unless exempted by our board of directors, which may inhibit large investors from desiring to purchase your shares and may also discourage a takeover. Moreover, our redemption plan includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares to us, and our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our redemption plan. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. The price received for any shares sold prior to a liquidity event is likely to be less than the proportionate value of the real estate we own. Investor suitability standards imposed by certain states may also make it more difficult to sell your shares to someone in those states.
We may recognize substantial impairment charges on our properties.
We may incur substantial impairment charges, which we are required to recognize whenever we sell a property for less than its carrying value, or we determine that the property has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in its carrying value (or, for direct financing leases, that the unguaranteed residential value of the underlying property has declined). By their nature, the timing and extent of impairment charges are not predictable. If we incur impairment charges in the future, they will reduce our net income, although they will not necessarily affect our cash flow from operations.
Our net asset value is based on information that the advisor provides to a third party.
The asset management and performance compensation paid to the advisor are based on an annual third party valuation of our real estate. Any valuation includes the use of estimates and our valuation may be influenced by the information provided by the advisor.

Because net asset value is an estimate and can change as interest rate and real estate markets fluctuate, there is no assurance that a shareholder will realize net asset value in connection with any liquidity event.
Potential liability for environmental matters could adversely affect our financial condition.
We have and in the future may invest in properties historically used for industrial, manufacturing and other commercial purposes. We therefore may own properties that have known or potential environmental contamination as a result of historical operations. Buildings and structures on the properties we purchase may have known or suspected asbestos-containing building materials. Our properties currently are used for industrial, manufacturing, and other commercial purposes, and some of our tenants may handle hazardous or toxic substances, generate hazardous wastes, or discharge regulated pollutants to the environment. We may invest in properties located in countries that have adopted laws or observe environmental management standards that are less stringent than those generally followed in the United States, which may pose a greater risk that releases of hazardous or toxic substances have occurred to the environment. Leasing properties to tenants that engage in these activities, and owning properties historically and currently used for industrial, manufacturing, and other commercial purposes, will cause us to be subject to the risk of liabilities under environmental laws. Some of these laws could impose the following on us:
    Responsibility and liability for the cost of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances released on or from our property, generally without regard to our knowledge of, or responsibility for, the presence of these contaminants.
 
    Liability for claims by third parties based on damages to natural resources or property, personal injuries, or costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or migrating from our property.
 
    Responsibility for managing asbestos-containing building materials, and third-party claims for exposure to those materials.
Our costs of investigation, remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances, or for third-party claims for damages, may be substantial. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances at any of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination, or otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. While we will attempt to mitigate identified environmental risks by requiring tenants contractually to acknowledge their responsibility for complying with environmental laws and to assume liability for environmental matters, circumstances may arise in which a tenant fails, or is unable, to fulfill its contractual obligations. In addition, environmental liabilities, or costs or operating limitations imposed on a tenant to comply with environmental laws, could affect its ability to make rental payments to us.
Failure to qualify as a REIT would adversely affect our operations and ability to make distributions.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year we lose our REIT qualification. Losing our REIT qualification would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to shareholders because of the additional tax liability, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. We might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.
Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements regarding the composition of our assets and the sources of our gross income. Also, we must make distributions to our shareholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains. Because we have investments in foreign real property, we are subject to foreign currency gains and losses. Foreign currency gains are not qualifying income for purposes of the REIT income requirements. To reduce the risk of foreign currency gains adversely affecting our REIT qualification, we may be required to defer the repatriation of cash from foreign jurisdictions or to employ other structures that could affect the timing, character or amount of income we receive from our foreign investments. No assurance can be given that we will be able to manage our foreign currency gains in a manner that enables us to qualify as a REIT or to avoid U.S. federal and other taxes on our income. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may adversely affect our investors, our ability to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes or the desirability of an investment in a REIT relative to other investments.
The inability of a tenant in a single tenant property to pay rent will reduce our revenues.
Most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant and, therefore, the success of our investments is materially dependent on the financial stability of these tenants. Lease payment defaults by tenants could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions to our shareholders. A default of a tenant on its lease payments to us could cause us to lose the revenue from the property and cause us to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet any mortgage payments and prevent foreclosure if the property is subject to a mortgage. In the event of a default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property. If a lease is terminated, there is no assurance that we will be able to re-lease the

property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. In 2006, one tenant, Carrefour France, SAS represented 11.5% of our total lease revenue.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or borrowers may cause a reduction in revenue.
Bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant or borrower could cause:
    the loss of lease or interest payments;
 
    an increase in the costs incurred to carry the property;
 
    a reduction in the value of our shares; and
 
    a decrease in distributions to shareholders.
Companies in automotive related industries (manufacturing, parts, services, etc.) are currently experiencing a challenging environment, which has resulted in several companies filing for bankruptcy protection. We currently have six tenants in automotive related industries, of which two are currently operating under bankruptcy protection. The tenants who have filed for bankruptcy protection, Collins & Aikman Corporation and Tower Automotive, Inc., have not indicated whether they will affirm their leases. In 2006, these six tenants accounted for annual lease revenues of approximately $14,730 and income from equity investments in real estate of $822 and have an aggregate carrying value of $120,308 as of December 31, 2006. (We acquired the remaining interest in the equity investment in real estate in the merger.) Of these totals, the two tenants that are operating under bankruptcy protection accounted for approximately $7,812 of lease revenues during 2006 and $58,616 of carrying value as of December 31, 2006. If conditions in this industry worsen, additional tenants may file for bankruptcy protection and may disaffirm their leases as part of their bankruptcy reorganization plans. The net result of these trends may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In December 2006, Meridian Automotive Systems, Inc. emerged from bankruptcy. Meridian accounted for lease revenue of $1,254 in 2006 and had a carrying value of $9,159 at December 31, 2006.
Other CPA® REITs managed by the advisor or its affiliates have had tenants file for bankruptcy protection and are involved in litigation (including two international tenants). Four prior CPA® REITs reduced the rate of distributions to their investors as a result of adverse developments involving tenants.
Our leases may permit tenants to purchase a property at a predetermined price, which could limit our realization of any appreciation or result in a loss.
A significant number of our leases include provisions under which the tenant has a right to purchase the property it leases. The purchase price may be a fixed price or it may be based on a formula or it may be based on market value at the time of exercise. If a tenant exercises its right to purchase the property and the property’s market value has increased beyond that price, we would be limited in fully realizing the appreciation on that property. Additionally, if the price at which the tenant can purchase the property is less than our purchase price or carrying value (for example, where the purchase price is based on an appraised value), we may incur a loss.
We may suffer uninsured losses.
There are certain types of losses (such as due to wars or some natural disasters) that generally are not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of the limits of our insurance occur, we could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any such loss would adversely affect our financial condition.
A potential change in United States accounting standards regarding operating leases may make the leasing of facilities less attractive to our potential domestic tenants, which could reduce overall demand for our leasing services.
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 13, “Accounting for Leases”, a lease is classified by a tenant as a capital lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership are considered to reside with the tenant. This situation is considered to be met if, among other things, the non-cancellable lease term is more than 75% of the useful life of the asset or if the present value of the minimum lease payments equals 90% or more of the leased property’s fair value. Under capital lease accounting for a tenant, both the leased asset and liability are reflected on the tenant’s balance sheet. If the lease does not meet any of the criteria for a capital lease, the lease is considered an operating lease by the tenant, and the obligation does not appear on the tenant’s balance sheet; rather, the contractual future minimum payment obligations are only disclosed in the footnotes to the tenant’s financial statements. Thus, entering into an operating lease can appear to enhance a tenant’s balance sheet in comparison to direct ownership. In 2005, the SEC conducted a study of off-balance-sheet financing which, among other areas, included lease accounting. This study raised concerns that the current accounting model does not clearly portray the resources and obligations arising from long term lease transactions with sufficient transparency. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board announced a joint project to re-evaluate lease accounting. Changes to the accounting guidance could affect both our Company’s accounting for leases as well as that of our current and potential customers. These changes may affect how the real estate leasing business is

conducted both domestically and internationally. For example, if the accounting standards regarding the financial statement classification of operating leases are revised, then companies may be less willing to enter into leases in general or desire to enter into leases with shorter terms because the apparent benefits to their balance sheets could be reduced or eliminated. This in turn could make it more difficult for us to enter into leases on terms we find favorable.
Our use of debt to finance investments could adversely affect our cash flow.
Most of our investments have been made by borrowing a portion of the total investment and securing the loan with a mortgage on the property. If we are unable to make our debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its debt. This could cause us to lose part or all of our investment which in turn could cause the value of our portfolio, and revenues available for distribution to our shareholders, to be reduced. We generally borrow on a limited recourse basis to limit our exposure on any property to the amount of equity invested in the property except for certain circumstances such as environmental matters. There is no limitation on the amount which we can borrow on a single property.
A majority of our financing also requires us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make balloon payments on debt will depend upon our ability either to refinance the obligation when due, invest additional equity in the property or to sell the related property. When the balloon payment is due, we may be unable to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. Our ability to accomplish these goals will be affected by various factors existing at the relevant time, such as the state of the national and regional economies, local real estate conditions, available mortgage rates, our equity in the mortgaged properties, our financial condition, the operating history of the mortgaged properties and tax laws. A refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to shareholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. Scheduled balloon payments for the next five years are as follows:

(1)   Does not include amounts that will be due upon maturity of our credit facility as these amounts are prepayable at any time. As of December 31, 2006 we had drawn $25,000 from this credit facility.
 
(2)   Excludes our pro rata share of mortgage obligations of equity investments in real estate totaling $52,240 in 2009, $4,199 in 2010 and $9,810 in 2011.
Our investments in properties outside of the United States subject us to foreign currency risks which may adversely affect distributions.
We are subject to foreign currency risk due to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Our principal currency exposures are to the Euro and the British pound sterling. We attempt to mitigate a portion of the risk of currency fluctuation by financing our properties in the local currency denominations, although there can be no assurance that this will be effective. As a result, changes in the relation of any such foreign currency to U.S. dollars may affect our revenues, operating margins and distributions and may also affect the book value of our assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. Although we have not done so to date, we anticipate that in the future we may engage in direct hedging activities to mitigate the risks of exchange rate fluctuations. If we were to engage in foreign currency exchange rate hedging activities, any income recognized with respect to these hedges (as well as any unhedged foreign currency gain recognized with respect to changes in exchange rates) will generally not qualify as eligible income for purposes of either the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test that we must satisfy annually in order to qualify as a REIT. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates used to value a REIT’s foreign assets may be considered changes in the value of the REIT’s assets. These changes may adversely affect our qualification as a REIT. Further, bank accounts in foreign currency which are not considered cash or cash equivalents may adversely affect our qualification as a REIT.
International investments involve additional risks.We have invested in and may continue to invest in properties located outside the United States. These investments may be affected by factors particular to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the property is located. These laws may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in the United States, including:
    political and economic instability in some geographical locations;
 
    lack of uniform accounting standards, including availability of information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;
 
    enactment of laws relating to the foreign ownership of property and laws relating to the ability of foreign entities to remove profits earned from activities within the country to the united states;
 
    currency transfer restrictions;

Table of Contents

    expropriation;
 
    the difficulty in enforcing obligations in other countries and the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws; and
 
    potential imposition of adverse or confiscatory taxes.
Each of these risks might adversely affect our performance and impair our ability to make distributions to our shareholders required to maintain our REIT qualification. In addition, the lack of available information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America could impair our ability to analyze transactions and may cause us to forego an investment opportunity. It may also impair our ability to receive timely and accurate financial information from tenants necessary to meet our reporting obligations to financial institutions or governmental or regulatory agencies.These risks may be greater in emerging markets and less developed countries.
Our participation in joint ventures creates additional risk.
We participate in joint ventures and invest in properties jointly with other entities. To date, the majority of our joint venture partners have been affiliated CPA® REITs; however, we currently have and may in the future have unaffiliated joint venture partners. There are additional risks involved in joint venture transactions. These risks include the potential of our joint venture partner becoming bankrupt and the possibility of diverging or inconsistent economic or business interests of our partner and us. These diverging interests could result in, among other things, exposing us to liabilities of the joint venture in excess of our proportionate share of these liabilities. The partition rights of each owner in a jointly owned property could reduce the value of each portion of the divided property. In addition, the fiduciary obligation that the advisor may owe to our partner in an affiliated transaction may make it more difficult for us to enforce our rights.
We do not fully control the management for our properties.
The tenants or managers of net lease properties are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. Because our revenues are largely derived from rents, our financial condition is dependent on the ability of our tenants to operate the properties successfully. If tenants are unable to operate the properties successfully, the tenants may not be able to pay their rent, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
Our distributions may exceed our earnings.
The amount of any distributions we may make is uncertain. We have made, and may in the future make distributions in excess of our earnings and profits and, accordingly, such distributions could constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have made, and may in the future make distributions in excess of our income as calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We may incur indebtedness if necessary to satisfy the REIT requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and to avoid the payment of income and excise taxes.
Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced U.S. federal income tax rates because qualifying REITs do not pay U.S. federal income tax on their net income.
The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for dividends payable by domestic corporations to individual domestic shareholders is 15% (through 2008). Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates, except to the extent that they are attributable to dividends paid by a taxable REIT subsidiary or a C corporation, or relate to certain other activities. This is because qualifying REITs receive an entity level tax benefit from not having to pay U.S. federal income tax on their net income. As a result, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause shareholders who are individuals to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including our common stock. In addition, the relative attractiveness of real estate in general may be adversely affected by the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to corporate dividends, which could negatively affect the value of our properties.
Possible legislative or other actions affecting REITs could adversely affect our RIET qualification and our shareholders.
The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, may take the position that specific sale-leaseback transactions we will treat as true leases are not true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes but are, instead, financing arrangements or loans. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to satisfy the qualification requirements applicable to REITs. In addition, the rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which may have retroactive application) could adversely affect our shareholders or us. It cannot be predicted whether, when, in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax laws applicable to our shareholders or us will be changed.

The ability of our board of directors to change our investment policies or revoke our REIT election without shareholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our shareholders.
Our bylaws require that our independent directors review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interest of our shareholders. These policies may change over time. The methods of implementing our investment policies may also vary, as new investment techniques are developed. Except as otherwise provided in our bylaws, our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, and our other objectives, policies and procedures may be altered by a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors), without the approval of our shareholders. As a result, the nature of your investment could change without your consent.
Additionally, our organizational documents permit our board of directors to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our shareholders, if it determines that it is not in our best interest to qualify as a REIT. In such a case, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income and we would no longer be required to distribute most of our net income to our shareholders, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our shareholders.
Maryland law could restrict change in control.
Provisions of Maryland law applicable to us prohibit business combinations with:
    any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of outstanding shares, referred to as an interested shareholder;
 
    an affiliate who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares, also referred to as an interested shareholder; or
 
    an affiliate of an interested shareholder.
These prohibitions last for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. Thereafter, any business combination must be recommended by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our outstanding shares and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our shares other than shares held by the interested shareholder or by an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder. These requirements could have the effect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in control was in our shareholders’ interest. These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by our board of directors prior to the time that someone becomes an interested shareholder. In addition, a person is not an interested shareholder if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested shareholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.
Our articles of incorporation restrict beneficial ownership of more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares by one person or affiliated group in order to assist us in meeting the REIT qualification rules. These requirements could have the effect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in control were in our shareholders’ interest.
Shareholders’ equity may be diluted
Our shareholders do not have preemptive rights to any shares of common stock issued by us in the future. Therefore if we issue additional shares of common stock, including issuing additional shares through our distribution reinvestment plan or issuing shares to the advisor for payment of fees in lieu of cash, then existing shareholders will experience dilution of their percentage ownership in us.
In addition, our board of directors may determine that it is in our best interest to classify or reclassify any unissued stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption of any of our stock. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of stock with terms and conditions that could subordinate your rights or have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control (including a merger, tender offer or sale of our assets) that might provide a premium price for our shareholders.
Your investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the investment company act.
We do not intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. If we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things:
    limitations on capital structure;
 
    restrictions on specified investments;
 
    prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and
 
    compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly increase our operating expenses.

In general, we expect to be able to rely on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. In order to qualify for this exemption, at least 55% of our portfolio must be comprised of real property and mortgages and other liens on an interest in real estate (collectively, “qualifying assets”) and at least 80% of our portfolio must be comprised of real estate-related assets. Qualifying assets include mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities that represent the entire ownership in a pool of mortgage loans and other interests in real estate. In order to maintain our exemption from regulation under the Investment Company Act, we must continue to engage primarily in the business of buying real estate.
To maintain compliance with the Investment Company Act exemption, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we may have to acquire additional income or loss generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy. If we were required to register as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court were to require enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.
The returns on our investments in net leased properties may not be as great as returns on equity investments in real properties during strong real estate markets.
As an investor in single tenant, long-term net leased properties, the returns on our investments are based primarily on the terms of the lease. Payments to us under our leases do not rise and fall based upon the market value of the underlying properties. In addition, we generally lease each property to one tenant on a long-term basis, which means that we cannot seek to improve current returns at a particular property through an active, multi-tenant leasing strategy. While we will sell assets from time to time and may recognize gains or losses on the sales based on then-current market values, we generally intend to hold our properties on a long-term basis. We view our leases as fixed income investments through which we seek to achieve attractive risk adjusted returns that will support a steady dividend. The value of our assets will likely not appreciate to the same extent as equity investments in real estate during periods when real estate markets are very strong. Conversely, in weak markets, the existence of a long-term lease may positively affect the value of the property, although it is nonetheless possible that, as a result of property declines generally, we may recognize impairment charges on some properties.
There are special considerations for pension or profit-sharing trusts, Keoghs or IRAs.
If you are investing the assets of a pension, profit sharing, 401(k), Keogh or other retirement plan, IRA or any other employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code in our shares, you should consider:
    whether your investment is consistent with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code;
 
    whether your investment will produce unrelated business taxable income, referred to as UBTI, to the benefit plan; and
 
    your need to value the assets of the benefit plan annually.
We believe that, under current ERISA law and regulations, our assets should not be treated as “plan assets” of a benefit plan subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code that purchases shares, and based on our articles of incorporation and on our related representations. Our view is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor. If our assets were considered to be plan assets, our assets would be subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, and some of the transactions we have entered into with the advisor and its affiliates could be considered “prohibited transactions” which could cause us, the advisor and its affiliates to be subject to liabilities and excise taxes. In addition, Carey Asset Management Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPC, could be deemed to be a fiduciary under ERISA and subject to other conditions, restrictions and prohibitions under Part 4 of Title I of ERISA. Even if our assets are not considered to be plan assets, a prohibited transaction could occur if we, Carey Financial, any selected dealer, the escrow agent or any of their affiliates is a fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA) with respect to a purchase by a benefit plan and, therefore, unless an administrative or statutory exemption applies in the event such persons are fiduciaries (within the meaning of ERISA) with respect to your purchase, shares should not be purchased.
Our business, results of operations, financial condition or our ability to pay distributions at the current rate could be materially adversely affected by the above conditions.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
As of December 31, 2006, we were not involved in any material litigation.
In March 2004, following a broker-dealer examination of Carey Financial, the wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of WPC, by the staff of the SEC, Carey Financial received a letter from the staff of the SEC alleging certain infractions by Carey Financial of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations thereunder and those of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”).
The staff alleged that in connection with a public offering of shares of CPA®:15, Carey Financial and its retail distributors sold certain securities without an effective registration statement. Specifically, the staff alleged that the delivery of investor funds into escrow after completion of the first phase of the offering (the “Phase I Offering”), completed in the fourth quarter of 2002 but before a registration statement with respect to the second phase of the offering (the “Phase II Offering”) became effective in the first quarter of 2003, constituted sales of securities in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, in the March 2004 letter the staff raised issues about whether actions taken in connection with the Phase II offering were adequately disclosed to investors in the Phase I Offering.
In June 2004, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC (“Enforcement Staff”) commenced an investigation into compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the public offerings of shares of CPA®:15 during 2002 and 2003. In December 2004, the scope of the Enforcement Staff’s inquiries broadened to include broker-dealer compensation arrangements in connection with CPA®:15 and other REITs managed by WPC, including us, as well as the disclosure of such arrangements. At that time WPC and Carey Financial received a subpoena from the Enforcement Staff seeking documents relating to payments by WPC, Carey Financial, and REITs managed by WPC to (or requests for payment received from) any broker-dealer, excluding selling commissions and selected dealer fees. WPC and Carey Financial subsequently received additional subpoenas and requests for information from the Enforcement Staff seeking, among other things, information relating to any revenue sharing agreements or payments (defined to include any payment to a broker-dealer, excluding selling commissions and selected dealer fees) made by WPC, Carey Financial or any REIT managed by WPC in connection with the distribution of WPC’s managed REITs or the retention or maintenance of REIT assets. Other information sought by the SEC includes information concerning the accounting treatment and disclosure of any such payments, communications with third parties (including other REIT issuers) concerning revenue sharing, and documents concerning the calculation of underwriting compensation in connection with the REIT offerings under applicable NASD rules.
In response to the Enforcement Staff’s subpoenas and requests, WPC and Carey Financial have produced documents relating to payments made to certain broker-dealers both during and after the offering process, for certain of the REITs managed by WPC (including Corporate Property Associates 10 Incorporated (“CPA®:10”), Carey Institutional Properties Incorporated (“CIP®”), CPA®:12, and CPA®:15 as well as us), in addition to selling commissions and selected dealer fees.
Among the payments reflected on documents produced to the Staff were certain payments, aggregating in excess of $9,600, made to a broker-dealer which distributed shares of the REITs. The expenses associated with these payments, which were made during the period from early 2000 through the end of 2003, were borne by and accounted for on the books and records of the REITs. Of these payments, CPA®:10 paid in excess of $40; CIP® paid in excess of $875; CPA®:12 paid in excess of $2,455; we paid in excess of $4,990; and CPA®:15 paid in excess of $1,240. In addition, other smaller payments by the REITs to the same and other broker-dealers have been identified aggregating less than $1,000.
WPC and Carey Financial are cooperating fully with this investigation and have provided information to the Enforcement Staff in response to the subpoenas and requests. Although no formal regulatory action has been initiated against WPC or Carey Financial in connection with the matters being investigated, we expect the SEC may pursue an action against either or both. The nature of the relief or remedies the SEC may seek cannot be predicted at this time. If an action is brought, it could have a material adverse effect on WPC and Carey Financial and the magnitude of that effect would not necessarily be limited to the payments described above but could include other payments and civil monetary penalties. Any action brought against WPC or Carey Financial could also have a material adverse effect on us because of our dependence on WPC and Carey Financial for a broad range of services.
Several state securities regulators have sought information from Carey Financial relating to the matters described above. While one or more states may commence proceedings against Carey Financial in connection with these inquiries, we do not currently expect that these inquiries or proceedings will have a material effect on WPC or Carey Financial incremental to that caused by any SEC action.

There is no established public trading market for our shares. As of March 16, 2007, there were 30,337 holders of record of our shares.
Distributions
We are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our distributable REIT taxable income to maintain our status as a REIT. Quarterly distributions declared by us for the past two years are as follows:
                 
    2006     2005  
First quarter
  $ 0.1924     $ 0.1904  
Second quarter
    0.1929       0.1909  
Third quarter
    0.1929       0.1914  
Fourth quarter
    0.1929       0.1919  
 
           
 
  $ 0.7711     $ 0.7646  
 
           
A quarterly distribution of $0.002097 per day was declared for each day of the period from and including October 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 on which a shareholder was a shareholder of record and was paid in January 2007. Amounts in the table above exclude a special distribution of $0.45 that was paid in July 2006 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2006 and a special distribution of $0.04 that was paid in January 2007 to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2006. These special distributions were approved by our board of directors in connection with the dispositions of certain investments in real estate during 2006.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, 175,208 shares of common stock were issued to the advisor as consideration for performance fees. Shares were issued at per share amounts of $11.85. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as amended, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, the advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for the purposes of investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. We previously reported other sales of unregistered shares during the past three years in our prior filings.

Executive Overview
Business Overview
As described in more detail in Item 1 of this annual report, we are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. The primary source of our revenue is earned from leasing real estate, primarily on a triple-net lease basis. We were formed in 1997 and are managed by W. P. Carey & Co. LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “advisor”). As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions and other factors.
Current Developments and Trends
Significant business developments that occurred during 2006 are detailed in Item 1 — Significant Developments During 2006.
Current trends include:
Our current business plan is principally focused on managing our existing portfolio of properties, including those properties we acquired from CPA®:12 in December 2006, and we do not currently expect to make new significant investments in the future. However, we may make future acquisitions if attractive opportunities arise. Competition for triple-net leased real estate remains strong as capital continues to flow into real estate, in general, and net leased real estate, in particular. We believe that low long-term interest rates by historical standards have created greater investor demand for yield-based investments, such as triple-net leased real estate, thus creating increased capital flows and a more competitive investment environment. We currently expect these trends to continue in 2007 but currently believe that several factors may provide us with investment opportunities in 2007, both domestically and internationally. These factors include increased merger and acquisition activity, which may provide additional sale-leaseback opportunities as a source of funding, a continued desire of corporations to divest themselves of real estate holdings and increasing opportunities for sale-leaseback transactions in the international market.

Real estate valuations have risen significantly in recent years. To the extent that disposing of properties fits with our strategic plans, we may look to take advantage of increases in real estate prices by selectively disposing of properties. We may also seek to capitalize on the increased value of our real estate by obtaining new limited recourse mortgage financing on unencumbered assets or by refinancing mortgages on existing properties if we can obtain such financing on attractive terms. Our ability to do so will be affected by the interest rate environment. Increases in long-term interest rates would likely cause the value of our real estate assets to decrease and would compromise the amount and terms of financing we can obtain. We will attempt to mitigate the effect of potential increases in long-term interest rates by seeking mortgage financing with fixed annual interest rates. We constantly evaluate our debt exposure and to the extent we are able to refinance and lock in lower interest rates over a longer term, we may be able to reduce our exposure to short-term interest rate fluctuation.
Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants. Rising interest rates would likely cause an increase in inflation and a corresponding increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). To the extent that the CPI increases, additional rental income streams may be generated for leases with CPI adjustment triggers and partially offset the impact of declining property values.
Companies in automotive related industries (manufacturing, parts, services, etc.) are currently experiencing a challenging environment, which has resulted in several companies filing for bankruptcy protection. We currently have six tenants in automotive related industries, of which two are currently operating under bankruptcy protection. The tenants who have filed for bankruptcy protection, Collins & Aikman Corporation and Tower Automotive, Inc., have not indicated whether they will affirm their leases. In 2006, these six tenants accounted for annual lease revenues of approximately $14,730 and income from equity investments in real estate of $822 and have an aggregate carrying value of $120,308 as of December 31, 2006. (We acquired the remaining interest in the equity investment in real estate in the merger.) Of these totals, the two tenants that are operating under bankruptcy protection account for approximately $7,812 of lease revenues during 2006 and $58,616 of carrying value at December 31, 2006. If conditions in this industry worsen, additional tenants may file for bankruptcy protection and may disaffirm their leases as part of their bankruptcy reorganization plans. The net result of these trends may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In December 2006, Meridian Automotive Systems emerged from bankruptcy. Meridian accounted for lease revenue of $1,254 in 2006 and had a carrying value of $9,159 at December 31, 2006.
We have foreign operations and as such are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in the Euro and the British pound sterling, which account for approximately 13% and 1% of annualized contractual lease revenues, respectively. Our results of foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. During 2006, the average rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to both the Euro and the British pound sterling was moderately weaker than 2005, and as a result, we experienced a moderately positive impact on our results of foreign operations for the current year as compared to 2005.
How Management Evaluates Results of Operations
Management evaluates our results of operations with a primary focus on the ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and increase our equity in our real estate. As a result, management’s assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and impairment charges.
Management considers cash flows from operations, cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities (as described in Financial Condition, below) to be important measures in the evaluation of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. Cash flows from operations are sourced primarily from long-term lease contracts. Such leases are generally triple-net and mitigate, to an extent, our exposure to certain property operating expenses. Management’s evaluation of the amount and expected fluctuation of cash flows from operations is essential in assessing our ability to fund operating expenses, service our debt and fund distributions to stockholders.
Management considers cash flows from operating activities plus cash distributions from equity investments in real estate in excess of equity income as a supplemental measure of liquidity in evaluating our ability to sustain distributions to stockholders. Management considers this measure useful as a supplemental measure to the extent the source of distributions in excess of equity income in real estate is the result of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, because it allows management to evaluate such cash flows from consolidated and unconsolidated investments in a comparable manner. In deriving this measure, cash distributions from equity investments in real estate that are sourced from the sales of the equity investee’s assets or refinancing of debt are excluded because they are deemed to be returns of investment and not returns on investment.

Management focuses on measures of cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities in its evaluation of our capital resources. Investing activities typically consist of the acquisition or disposition of investments in real property and the funding of capital expenditures with respect to real properties. Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of the payment of distributions to stockholders, obtaining limited recourse mortgage financing, generally in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of properties, and the payment of mortgage principal amortization. Our financing strategy has been to purchase substantially all of our properties with a combination of equity and limited recourse mortgage debt. A lender on a limited recourse mortgage loan has recourse only to the property collateralizing such debt and not to any of our other assets. This strategy has allowed us to diversify our portfolio of properties and, thereby, limit our risk. In the event that a balloon payment comes due, we may seek to refinance the loan, restructure the debt with existing lenders, and evaluate our ability to pay the balloon payment from our cash reserves or sell the property and use the proceeds to satisfy the mortgage debt.
Our operations consist of the investment in and the leasing of commercial real estate. Management’s evaluation of the sources of lease revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:
                         
    2006     2005     2004  
Rental income
  $ 116,963     $ 113,391     $ 110,774

2006 vs. 2005 — For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, lease revenues (rental income and interest income from direct financing leases) increased by $3,813. Rent increases at several properties and a new lease at an existing property contributed additional lease revenues of $3,225. Lease revenues increased by $2,331 as a result of the merger, including $526 of lease revenues generated by two investments that we now consolidate following the merger. Lease revenues also benefited as a result of the moderately positive impact of fluctuations in average foreign currency exchange rates as compared to 2005. These increases were partially offset by reductions of $1,237 from the reclassification of a property leased to Dick’s Sporting Goods to an equity investment in real estate and $493 from a lease restructuring. We reclassified the Dick’s Sporting Goods property as an equity investment in real estate in December 2005 in connection with an expansion transaction wherein CPA®:16 — Global, an affiliate, acquired a 55.1% interest in the property.

During 2006, our tenant Meridian Automotive Systems, which contributed $1,254 in lease revenues during 2006, affirmed its lease with us and emerged from bankruptcy protection. Two additional tenants in automotive related industries, Tower Automotive and Collins and Aikman, which contributed a total of $7,812 in lease revenues during 2006, continue to operate under bankruptcy protection. We cannot predict whether either company will affirm or terminate its lease in connection with its bankruptcy reorganization.
2005 vs. 2004 — For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, lease revenues increased by $3,299 primarily as a result of $2,925 from rent increases at several properties. Rent from new leases and renewals at existing properties also contributed to the increase.
Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of lease expirations, lease terminations, the timing of new lease transactions and sales of property.
Depreciation and Amortization
2006 vs. 2005 — For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4,729, primarily due to a $3,730 depreciation charge incurred in the second quarter of 2006 related to the acceleration of depreciation upon the demolition of a Pennsylvania property in connection with its redevelopment. Depreciation and amortization expense also increased by $984 as a result of the merger, including $234 from two investments that we now consolidate following the merger.
2005 vs. 2004 — For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively unchanged with an increase of $102.
Property Expense
2006 vs. 2005 — For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, property expense decreased by $1,566 primarily due to a decrease in property related expenses totaling $767, reductions in asset management and performance fees of $624, and to a lesser extent, reductions in reimbursable tenant costs. The decrease in property related expenses resulted primarily from leasing activity during 2006 at several properties which were partially vacant in 2005.
Asset management and performance fees declined as a result of an overall reduction in our 2005 portfolio valuation, primarily due to our automotive industry tenants who filed voluntary petitions of bankruptcy in 2005. The amount of asset management and performance fees payable to the advisor is based on the annual third party valuation of our portfolio. We expect that the 2006 valuation, and the amount of asset management and performance fees payable to the advisor, will increase as a result of the acquisition of properties in the merger and the emergence of one of the automotive tenants from bankruptcy during 2006.
2005 vs. 2004 — For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, property expense increased by $2,190 primarily due to an increase in asset management and performance fees of $1,030, an increase in reimbursable tenant costs of $948, professional fees and other costs totaling $185 related to two underperforming properties and a $188 repair expenditure at a property in California. Actual recoveries of reimbursable tenant costs are recorded as both revenue and expense and therefore have no impact on net income.
The increase in the asset management and performance fees paid to the advisor are a result of increases in property values pursuant to the annual third party valuation of our portfolio as of December 31, 2004. We incurred legal and other costs in 2005 related to properties leased to Collins & Aikman and Tower Automotive as both tenants filed for bankruptcy protection in 2005.
Income from Equity Investments in Real Estate
Income from equity investments in real estate represents our proportionate share of net income (revenues and gains less expenses) from investments entered into with affiliates or third parties in which we have been deemed to have a non-controlling interest but exercise significant influence.
2006 vs. 2005 — For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, income from equity investments in real estate increased by $11,612, primarily due to the net positive impact of two property sales, which was partially offset by the impact of the Starmark transaction. Income from equity investments in real estate benefited from the recognition of our pro rata share of gains on the sale of properties in New York and California totaling $23,620 and lease termination income related to the Starmark transaction of $4,561. New equity investments in real estate acquired in the merger also contributed $955 of the increase. These increases were partially offset by the impact of recognition of our pro rata share of the impairment charges related to the Starmark properties of $10,241, by prepayment costs and defeasance penalties totaling $6,216 incurred in connection with the repayment/defeasance of the mortgages on the Starmark properties and the New York and California property sales and a reduction of $1,387 as a result of the Starmark transaction and property sales.

2005 vs. 2004 — For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, income from equity investments in real estate increased by $1,494 primarily due to $743 from rent increases at several properties, $456 from the full-year effect of an acquisition in April 2004 of an 11.54% interest in a limited partnership which purchased 78 self-storage and truck leasing facilities leased under the U-Haul brand name and $92 from the reclassification of our investment in Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments and Other Gains, Net
From time to time, we may obtain equity enhancements in connection with transactions which may involve warrants exercisable at a future time to purchase stock of the tenant or borrower or their parent. We recognize unrealized gains or losses on these common stock warrants and, if the warrants become exercisable and the value of the stock exceeds the exercise price of the warrant, we may exercise the warrants to obtain additional returns for our investors. The timing and amount of such gains and losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation.
2006 vs. 2005 — For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, gain on derivative instruments and other gains, net decreased by $3,196 primarily as a result of a decrease in realized and unrealized gains on common stock warrants. During 2006, we recognized an unrealized gain on common stock warrants in Compucom Systems, Inc. of $2,076 due to Compucom’s improved financial results, as compared with unrealized gains of $2,548 and realized gains of $2,192 on common stock warrants in PW Eagle, Inc. and American Tire Distributors, Inc., respectively, recognized in 2005 (see below).
2005 vs. 2004 — For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, gain on derivative instruments and other gains, net increased by $6,259 primarily as a result of realized and unrealized gains on common stock warrants and a change in the value of an interest rate swap. In April 2005, we recognized a realized gain of $2,192 on common stock warrants as a result of the completion of a redemption transaction by American Tire Distributors. We recognized an unrealized gain of $2,548 in 2005 on common stock warrants in PW Eagle as the result of increases in PW Eagle’s stock price. In December 2005 we exercised our option to convert the PW Eagle warrants into common stock. During 2005, we recognized an unrealized gain of $426 on an interest rate swap contract that does not qualify as a hedge for financial accounting purposes, as compared with a $655 unrealized loss in 2004.
Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency Transactions, Net
We have foreign operations in Europe and the United Kingdom which are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements of the Euro and the British pound sterling. For these currencies we are a net receiver of the foreign currency (we receive more cash than we pay out) and therefore our foreign investments benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency. We recognize realized foreign currency translation gains (losses) upon the repatriation of cash from our foreign investments and recognize unrealized foreign currency translation gains (losses) due to changes in foreign currency on accrued interest receivable on notes receivable from wholly-owned subsidiaries.
2006 vs. 2005 — For the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we recognized a gain on foreign currency transactions, net, of $930 as compared with a loss of $446 in 2005. This change is primarily due to increases in unrealized gains on foreign currency as the result of the moderate weakening of the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2005, as compared with its strengthening during the comparable 2005 period.
2005 vs. 2004 — For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recognized a net loss on foreign currency transactions of $446 as compared with a gain of $1,438 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The loss was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during 2005 and was partially offset by realized gains on the transfer of cash from foreign subsidiaries.
Interest Expense
2006 vs. 2005 — For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, interest expense decreased by $1,162. The payoff of mortgage balances during 2005 and 2006 resulted in a decrease of $1,208, including a $784 prepayment penalty incurred in 2005 (see below), while scheduled mortgage principal payments resulted in a decrease of $1,013. These decreases were partially offset by additional interest expense totaling $883 on properties acquired in the merger.
2005 vs. 2004 — For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, interest expense decreased by $234 primarily from paying scheduled principal payments, prepayment of mortgage principal obligations and defeasance of the Dick’s Sporting Goods mortgage. These decreases were partially offset by a charge on extinguishment of debt of $784 in the fourth quarter of 2005 in connection with the defeasance of the mortgage on the Dick’s Sporting Goods property.
Income from Discontinued Operations
2006 — For 2006, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $11,538, primarily due to the recognition of a net gain of $13,182 on the sale of a properties in Minnesota and Indiana, partially offset by prepayment penalties incurred totaling $1,586 in connection with the prepayment of the mortgage financing on the Minnesota property.

CPA®:14 2006 10-K 28


Table of Contents

2005 — For 2005, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $924 related to the results of operations of properties in Indiana, California and Minnesota, including a gain of $196 on the sale of the California property.
2004 — For 2004, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $989 related to the results of operations of properties in Indiana, California and Minnesota.
Net Income
2006 vs. 2005 — For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, net income increased by $22,369, primarily due to the recognition of gains on the sale of real estate totaling $36,802, including our pro rata share of two investments accounted for under the equity method, and our pro rata share of lease termination income of $4,561 related to the Starmark transaction. These increases were partially offset by the recognition of our pro rata share of an impairment charge on the Starmark properties of $10,241 and our pro rata share of prepayment penalties and defeasance costs totaling $6,216, incurred in connection with the sale of properties accounted for under the equity method. These variances are described above.
2005 vs. 2004 — For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, net income increased $8,309, primarily due to increases in lease revenue and income from equity investments in real estate totaling $4,793 and a $6,259 increase in gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other gains, net. These increases were partially offset by an increase in property expense of $2,190. These variances are described above.
Financial Condition
Uses of Cash During the Year
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $18,991 as of December 31, 2006, a decrease of $18,880 from the December 31, 2005 balance. We believe that we have sufficient cash balances to meet our working capital needs. Our sources and use of cash during 2006 are described below.
Operating Activities
One of our objectives is to use the cash flow from net leases to meet operating expenses, service debt and fund distributions to shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2006, cash flows from operating activities of $102,232 were sufficient to fund distributions to shareholders of $83,633, meet scheduled principal payment installments on mortgage debt of $12,580 and distribute $3,869 to minority partners. In 2006, cash flows from operating activities increased significantly over 2005, primarily due to an increase in our net income following the recognition of gains on the sale of two properties accounted for under the equity method (see Results of Operations above). Distributions to shareholders also increased significantly over 2005, primarily as a result of special distributions totaling $0.49 per share or $33,609 that were paid to shareholders out of proceeds received on property sales in 2006.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate transactions (purchases and sales), payment of our annual installment of deferred acquisition fees and capitalized property-related costs. Our investment activity in 2006 was primarily comprised of our merger with CPA®:12 and the disposition of several investments. In connection with the merger, we used $102,176 to redeem the interests of CPA®:12 shareholders who elected to receive cash and assumed a cash overdraft of $3,950 from CPA®:12 resulting from its payment of obligations to its shareholders. In addition to our merger related activity, we received $84,934 in capital distributions from equity investments in real estate, including $44,610 related to the sale of the New York property, $37,176 from mortgage refinancings at a property in Georgia and the former Starmark properties that were re-leased to Life Time Fitness, Inc. and $3,148 related to our pro rata share of the release of security deposits and prepaid rent from the former Starmark properties which will primarily be used to fund improvements at certain properties formerly leased by Starmark. Of these amounts, $81,788 represents distributions in excess of cumulative income from equity investments in real estate. During 2006, we received proceeds of $37,628 from the sales of properties in Minnesota and Indiana. Of these proceeds, funds of $21,741 were placed in a restricted account for use in a potential future investment on a tax-deferred basis, but were subsequently released as the contemplated investment was not consummated. In addition, we received net proceeds of $2,986 from the sale of our holdings in PW Eagle, Inc. common stock. During 2006, we also contributed $45,481 to the Starmark venture to fund our pro rata share of the payoff/defeasance of the existing limited recourse mortgage obligation and related prepayment penalties and debt defeasance costs. The annual installment of deferred acquisition fees is paid to the advisor each January and was $3,514 in 2006.
Financing Activities
In addition to making scheduled mortgage principal payments, paying distributions to shareholders and minority partners, we prepaid mortgage obligations totaling $24,167 during 2006, including $11,631 in connection with the sale of a Minnesota property, $3,859 for the defeasance of the mortgage at a Pennsylvania property and $8,677 for the payoff of the mortgage at a Virginia property, which we

subsequently refinanced for $12,000. During 2006, we used gross borrowings under our credit facility of $28,000 primarily to repay a short-term loan from the advisor of $24,000 that we obtained in order to facilitate the merger closing. Gross repayments under the credit facility were $3,000. We also received $10,766 as a result of issuing shares through our Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan and used $9,186 to purchase treasury shares through a redemption plan which allows shareholders to sell shares back to us, subject to certain limitations.
We hold a participation in a mortgage pool consisting of $172,335 of mortgage debt collateralized by properties and lease assignments on properties owned by us and two affiliates. With our affiliates, we also purchased subordinated interests of $24,129 in which we own a 25% interest, and we acquired an additional 30% interest in the subordinated interests from CPA®:12 in connection with the merger. The subordinated interests are payable only after all other classes of ownership receive their stated interest and related principal payments. The subordinated interests, therefore, could be affected by any defaults or nonpayment by lessees. As of December 31, 2006, there have been no defaults.
Summary of Financing
The table below summarizes our mortgage notes payable as December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

(2)   Included in variable rate debt at December 31, 2006 is (i) $43,376 in aggregate principal of our credit facility ($25,000) and variable rate mortgages ($18,376) which have not been hedged; (ii) $97,698 in mortgage obligations which currently bear interest at fixed rates but which convert to variable rates during their term and (iii) $11,922 in mortgage obligations which are currently fixed rate but which have interest rate reset features which may change the interest rates to then prevailing market fixed rates at certain points in their term.
Cash Resources
As of December 31, 2006, our cash resources consisted of the following:
    Cash and cash equivalents totaling $18,991, of which $7,981, at current exchange rates, was held in foreign bank accounts to maintain local capital requirements;
 
    Credit facility with unused capacity of up to $125,000; and
 
    Unleveraged properties with a carrying value of $96,488, subject to meeting certain financial ratios on our credit facility.
Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs and other commitments and may be used for future investments. We continue to evaluate fixed-rate financing options, such as obtaining limited recourse financing on our unleveraged properties. Any financing obtained may be used for working capital objectives and may be used to pay down existing debt balances.
Credit Facility
In connection with the merger, we entered into a $150,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank in November 2006. The credit facility provides for an initial three year term and an annual interest rate of either (i) LIBOR plus a spread which ranges from 135 to 160 basis points depending on our leverage or (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 0.50%, plus a spread of up to 0.125% depending on our leverage ratio. The credit facility is guaranteed by our current and future subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. The credit facility has financial covenants that require, among other things, us to maintain a minimum

CPA®:14 2006 10-K 30

equity value and to meet or exceed certain operating and coverage ratios. We are in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2006. The facility also provides us with the right, on up to two occasions, to increase the amount available under the credit facility by not less than $20,000 and not more than $75,000 up to a maximum of $225,000.
We expect cash flows from operating activities to be affected by several factors in 2007 including:
    The full year impact from properties acquired in the merger, which we estimate will generate annual lease revenue and cash flow of approximately $21,600 and $12,000, respectively, and annual equity investment income of approximately $4,700. There are no scheduled balloon payments on any of the properties acquired from CPA®:12 until 2008.
 
    The advisor’s election in 2007 to continue to receive performance fees in restricted shares.
 
    Scheduled rent increases on several properties during 2006 and 2007 should result in additional cash from operations.
 
    The full year impact of dispositions completed in 2006 which will reduce cash flow in 2007.
Cash Requirements
During 2007, cash requirements will include scheduled mortgage principal payment installments and paying distributions to shareholders and minority partners as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. We have no balloon payments due until 2008, when a total of $17,649 in balloon payments will be due. We may also seek to use our cash resources to make new investments to further diversify our portfolio, and expect to maintain cash balances sufficient to meet working capital needs.
Aggregate Contractual Agreements
The table below summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006 and the effect that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods.

(3)   Represents our pro rata share of landlord improvements on the Life Time properties (see Item 1 — Significant Developments During 2006). We acquired an additional 15% interest in these properties in the merger.
 
(4)   Operating lease obligations consist primarily of our share of future minimum rents payable under an office cost-sharing agreement with certain affiliates for the purpose of leasing office space used for the administration of real estate entities. Such amounts are allocated among the entities based on gross revenues and are adjusted quarterly.
Amounts in the table above related to our foreign operations are based on the exchange rate of the local currencies as of December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, we have no material capital lease obligations for which we are the lessee, either individually or in the aggregate.
In connection with the purchase of our properties, we require the sellers to perform environmental reviews. We believe, based on the results of such reviews, that our properties were in substantial compliance with Federal and state environmental statutes at the time the properties were acquired. However, portions of certain properties have been subject to some degree of contamination, principally in connection with either leakage from underground storage tanks, surface spills from facility activities or historical on-site activities. In most instances where contamination has been identified, tenants are actively engaged in the remediation process and addressing identified conditions. Tenants are generally subject to environmental statutes and regulations regarding the discharge of hazardous

CPA®:14 2006 10-K 31


Table of Contents

materials and any related remediation obligations. In addition, our leases generally require tenants to indemnify us from all liabilities and losses related to the leased properties with provisions of such indemnification specifically addressing environmental matters. The leases generally include provisions which allow for periodic environmental assessments, paid for by the tenant, and allow us to extend leases until such time as a tenant has satisfied its environmental obligations. Certain of the leases allow us to require financial assurances from tenants such as performance bonds or letters of credit if the costs of remediating environmental conditions are, in our estimation, in excess of specified amounts. Accordingly, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any environmental matter should not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Subsequent Events
In January 2007, we obtained limited recourse mortgage financing on existing properties totaling $26,227, including our pro rata share of mortgage financing on a property accounted for under the equity method. The financing has a weighted average interest rate and term of 5.84% and 12 years, respectively.
Effective April 2, 2007, Trevor Bond is resigning from our board of directors in connection with his appointment to the advisor’s board of directors. Marshall Blume was appointed as an independent director of our board of directors, effective April 2, 2007.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Many of these accounting policies require certain judgment and the use of certain estimates and assumptions when applying these policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments based on historical experience as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are subject to change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change. Certain accounting policies, while significant, may not require the use of estimates. Those accounting policies that require significant estimation and/or judgment are listed below.
Classification of Real Estate Assets
We classify our directly owned leased assets for financial reporting purposes as either real estate under operating leases or net investment in direct financing leases at the inception of a lease or when significant lease terms are amended. This classification is based on several criteria, including, but not limited to, estimates of the remaining economic life of the leased assets and the calculation of the present value of future minimum rents. In determining the classification of a lease, we use estimates of remaining economic life provided by third party appraisals of the leased assets. The calculation of the present value of future minimum rents includes determining a lease’s implicit interest rate, which requires an estimate of the residual value of leased assets as of the end of the non-cancelable lease term. Different estimates of residual value result in different implicit interest rates and could possibly affect the financial reporting classification of leased assets. The contractual terms of our leases are not necessarily different for operating and direct financing leases; however the classification is based on accounting pronouncements which are intended to indicate whether the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor or substantially transferred to the lessee. Management believes that it retains certain risks of ownership regardless of accounting classification. Assets classified as net investment in direct financing leases are not depreciated but are written down to expected residual value of the lease term, therefore, the classification of assets may have a significant impact on net income even though it has no effect on cash flows.
Identification of Tangible and Intangible Assets in Connection with Real Estate Acquisitions
In connection with the acquisition of properties, purchase costs are allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The value of tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and tenant improvements, is determined as if vacant. Intangible assets including the above-market value of leases, the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships are recorded at their relative fair values. The below-market values of leases are recorded at their relative fair values and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
The value attributed to tangible assets is determined in part using a discount cash flow model which is intended to approximate what a third party would pay to purchase the property as vacant and rent at current “market” rates. In applying the model, we assume that the disinterested party would sell the property at the end of a market lease term. Assumptions used in the model are property-specific as it is available; however, when certain necessary information is not available, we use available regional and property-type information. Assumptions and estimates include a discount rate or internal rate of return, marketing period necessary to put a lease in place, carrying costs during the marketing period, leasing commissions and tenant improvements allowances, market rents and growth factors of such rents, market lease term and a cap rate to be applied to an estimate of market rent at the end of the market lease term.
Above-market and below-market lease intangibles are based on the difference between the market rent and the contractual rents and are discounted to a present value using an interest rate reflecting our assessment of the risk associated with the lease acquired. If we acquire properties subject to net leases, we consider the credit of the lessee in negotiating the initial rent.

The total amount of other intangibles is allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationship intangible values based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with each tenant. Characteristics we consider in allocating these values include the expectation of lease renewals, nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenant, prospects for developing new business with the tenant and the tenant’s credit quality, among other factors. Intangibles for above-market and below-market leases, in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives. In the event that a lease is terminated, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including market rate adjustments, in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, are charged to expense.
Factors considered include the estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs, expectation of funding tenant improvements and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, based on assessments of specific market conditions. Estimated costs to execute leases include commissions and legal costs to the extent that such costs are not already incurred with a new lease that has been negotiated in connection with the purchase of the property.
Basis of Consolidation
When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”). We consolidate (i) entities that are VIEs and of which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which we control. Entities that we account for under the equity method (i.e. at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs and of which we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which we do not control, but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence. We will reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original determinations.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-05”). The scope of EITF 04-05 is limited to limited partnerships or similar entities that are not variable interest entities under FIN 46(R). The Task Force reached a consensus that the general partners in a limited partnership (or similar entity) are presumed to control the entity regardless of the level of their ownership and, accordingly, may be required to consolidate the entity. This presumption may be overcome if the agreements provide the limited partners with either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (b) substantive participating rights. If it is deemed that the limited partners’ rights overcome the presumption of control by a general partner of the limited partnership, the general partner shall account for its investment in the limited partnership using the equity method of accounting. We adopted EITF 04-05 in June 2005 for all arrangements created or modified after June 29, 2005. For all other arrangements, we adopted EITF 04-05 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of EITF 04-05 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations. Upon completion of the merger, we acquired additional interests in certain limited liability companies and limited partnerships such that our ownership interests now exceed 50% and we exercise significant influence. Because our venture partners, which are affiliates, are the managing members or general partners in the limited partnerships or limited liability companies, respectively and no unaffiliated parties have substantive kick-out or participation rights, the venture partners are required to consolidate the investments under the provisions of EITF 04-05 and, therefore, we account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. All material inter-entity transactions have been eliminated.
Impairments
Impairment charges may be recognized on long-lived assets, including but not limited to, real estate, direct financing leases, equity investments in real estate and assets held for sale. Estimates and judgments are used when evaluating whether these assets are impaired. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, we perform projections of undiscounted cash flows, and if such cash flows are insufficient, the assets are adjusted (i.e., written down) to their estimated fair value. An analysis of whether a real estate asset has been impaired requires us to make our best estimate of market rents, residual values and holding periods. In our evaluations, we generally obtain market information from outside sources; however, such information requires us to determine whether the information received is appropriate to the circumstances. As our investment objective is to hold properties on a long-term basis, holding periods used in the analyses generally range from five to ten years. Depending on the assumptions made and estimates used, the future cash flow projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a range of outcomes. We will consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best possible estimate of future cash flows. Because in most cases, each of our properties is leased to one tenant, we are more likely to incur significant writedowns when circumstances change because of the possibility that a property will be vacated in its entirety and, therefore, it is different from the risks related to leasing and managing multi-tenant properties. Events or changes in circumstances can result in further noncash writedowns and impact the gain or loss ultimately realized upon sale of the assets.

We perform a review of our estimate of residual value of our direct financing leases at least annually to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in the current estimate of residual value of the underlying real estate assets (i.e., the estimate of what we could realize upon sale of the property at the end of the lease term). If the review indicates a decline in residual value, that is other than temporary, a loss is recognized and the accounting for the direct financing lease will be revised to reflect the decrease in the expected yield using the changed estimate, that is, a portion of the future cash flow from the lessee will be recognized as a return of principal rather than as revenue. While an evaluation of potential impairment of real estate subject to operating leases is determined by a change in circumstances, the evaluation of a direct financing lease can be affected by changes in long-term market conditions even though the obligations of the lessee are being met. Changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, vacancy of a property not subject to a lease and termination of a lease. We may also assess properties for impairment because a lessee is experiencing financial difficulty and because management expects that there is a reasonable probability that the lease will be terminated in a bankruptcy proceeding or a property remains vacant for a period that exceeds the period anticipated in a prior impairment evaluation.
Investments in unconsolidated ventures are accounted for under the equity method and are recorded initially at cost as equity investments in real estate and are subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share of earnings and cash contributions and distributions. On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of equity investments in real estate may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the charge is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment.
When we identify assets as held for sale, we discontinue depreciating the assets and estimate the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If in our opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, an impairment charge is recognized and a valuation allowance is established. To the extent that a purchase and sale agreement has been entered into, the allowance is based on the negotiated sales price. To the extent that we have adopted a plan to sell an asset but have not entered into a sales agreement, we will make judgments of the net sales price based on current market information. We will continue to review the initial valuation for subsequent changes in the fair value less cost to sell and will recognize an additional impairment charge or a gain (not to exceed the cumulative loss previously recognized.) If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Provision for Uncollected Amounts from Lessees
On an ongoing basis, we assess our ability to collect rent and other tenant-based receivables and determine an appropriate allowance for uncollected amounts. Because we have a limited number of lessees (24 lessees represented 74% of lease revenue during 2006), we believe that it is necessary to evaluate the collectibility of these receivables based on the facts and circumstances of each situation rather than solely using statistical methods. We generally recognize a provision for uncollected rents and other tenant receivables and measure our allowance against actual arrearages. For amounts in arrears, we make subjective judgments based on our knowledge of a lessee’s circumstances and may reserve for the entire receivable amount from a lessee because there has been significant or continuing deterioration in the lessee’s ability to meet its lease obligations.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
In 2002, we acquired a subordinated interest in a mortgage trust that consists of limited recourse loans on 62 properties that we own or two of our affiliates own. We acquired an additional interest in the mortgage trust in the merger. The fair value of the interests in the trust is determined using a discounted cash flow model with assumptions of market rates and the credit quality of the underlying lessees. If there are adverse changes in either market rates or the credit quality of the lessees, the model and, therefore, the income recognized from the subordinated interests and the fair value would be adjusted.
We measure derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, if any, at fair value and record them as an asset or liability, depending on our right or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings (i.e., the forecasted event occurs). For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivatives are reported in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period. To determine the value of warrants for common stock which are classified as derivatives, various estimates are included in the options pricing model used to determine the value of a warrant.

Income Taxes
We have elected and expect to continue to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income to our shareholders (excluding net capital gains) and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. As a REIT, we are is not subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent we distribute our net taxable income annually to our shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We have and intend to continue to operate so that we meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Many of these requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax. We are subject to certain state, local and foreign taxes. State, local, franchise and other taxes of $57, $434 and $595 are included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
EITF 04-05
We adopted EITF 04-05 in June 2005 for all limited partnerships created after June 29, 2005 and on January 1, 2006 for all other arrangements. Refer to Basis of Consolidation above for a discussion of the effect of EITF 04-05 on our financial position and results of operations.
FSP FAS 13-1
In October 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 13-1 “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period” (“FSP FAS 13-1”). FSP FAS 13-1 addresses the accounting for rental costs associated with operating leases that are incurred during the construction period. FSP FAS 13-1 makes no distinction between the right to use a leased asset during the construction period and the right to use that asset after the construction period. Therefore, rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a construction period shall be recognized as rental expense, allocated over the lease term in accordance with SFAS No. 13 and Technical Bulletin 85-3. We adopted FSP FAS 13-1 as required on January 1, 2006 and the initial application of this Staff Position did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 155
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No.155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). The purpose of SFAS 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 also eliminates the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. We must adopt SFAS 155 effective January 1, 2007 and do not believe that this adoption will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
FIN 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. We must adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.
SAB 108
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements.
Traditionally, there have been two widely-recognized methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements: the “rollover” method and the “iron curtain” method. The rollover method focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income statement — including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements — but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron curtain method, on the other hand, focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior year errors on the income statement. We currently use the iron curtain method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements.
In SAB 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and rollover methods. SAB 108 permits existing public companies to initially apply its provisions either by (i) restating prior financial statements

as if the “dual approach” had always been used or (ii) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Use of the “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. We adopted SAB 108 using the cumulative effect transition method in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective for our 2008 fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. We believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
(In thousands)
Market Risks
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. In pursuing our business plan, the primary risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our venture partners may obtain variable rate mortgage loans and may enter into interest rate swap agreements with lenders which effectively convert the variable rate debt service obligations of the loan to a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which a series of interest rate flows are exchanged over a specific period. The notional amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. As of December 31, 2006, neither we nor our venture partners have entered into any interest rate swaps.
Our objective in using derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements. We do not use derivative instruments to hedge foreign exchange rate risk exposure, credit/market risks or for speculative purposes.
Because we transact business in Finland, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, we are also exposed to foreign exchange rate movements. We manage foreign exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the local currency.
Interest Rate Risk
The value of our real estate and related fixed debt obligations are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, all which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the value of our owned and managed assets to decrease, which would create lower revenues from managed assets lower investment performance for the managed funds. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit quality of certain tenants.
Although we have not experienced any credit losses on investments in loan participations, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults could increase and result in us recognizing credit losses, which could adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. Further, such defaults could have an adverse effect on the spreads between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
We own marketable securities through our ownership interests in Carey Commercial Mortgage Trust (“CCMT”). The value of the marketable securities is subject to fluctuation based on changes in interest rates, economic conditions and the creditworthiness of lessees at the mortgaged properties. We acquired an additional interest in the CCMT valued at $7,346 on December 1, 2006 in connection with the merger. As of December 31, 2006, our total interests in CCMT had a fair value of $13,911. We also own marketable equity securities of Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc., which based on its quoted per share price had a fair value of $296 as of December 31, 2006. Warrants issued to us by Consolidated Theaters Holding, G.P., Compucom Systems, Inc., Vermont Teddy Bear Company and Fitness Ventures are classified as derivative instruments and had an aggregate fair value of $4,338 and $665 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates and scheduled amortization payments of our debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt. Annual interest rates on fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2006 ranged from 5.15% to 9.38%. The interest rates on our variable rate debt as of December 31, 2006 ranged from 5.15% to 7.32%.

As more fully described in Summary of Financing above, our current variable rate debt obligations include some obligations which are currently subject to variable interest rates, some obligations which may convert to variable interest rates during their term and some

that reset to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points in their term. Based on our current unhedged exposure to variable rates in the next twelve months, annual interest expense from variable rate debt would increase or decrease by approximately $1,530 for each change of 1% in annual interest rates. A change in interest rates of 1% would increase or decrease by an aggregate of $23,635 the combined fair value of our fixed rate debt and our mortgage obligations which currently bear interest at fixed rates but which may convert to variable rates during their term or have interest rate reset features which may change the interest rates to then prevailing market fixed rates at certain points in their term.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We have foreign operations in the United Kingdom, Finland, France and the Netherlands and as such are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements of foreign currencies, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Our foreign operations for the preceding year were conducted in the Euro and the British pound sterling. For these currencies we are a net receiver of the foreign currency (we receive more cash than we pay out) and therefore our foreign investments benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency. Net realized foreign currency translation gains were $417, $334 and $1,357 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively and net unrealized foreign currency translation gains (losses) were $513, ($775) and $90 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Such gains and losses are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are primarily due to changes in foreign currency on accrued interest receivable on notes receivable from wholly-owned subsidiaries.
To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have obtained limited recourse mortgage financing at fixed rates of interest in the local currency. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues as translated to dollars, the change in debt service, as translated to dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue, and, to some extent mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency rates. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Carrefour France SAS, which leases properties in France, contributed 11.5% of lease revenues. The leverage on the limited recourse financing of the Carrefour investment is higher than the average leverage on our domestic real estate investments.
During each of the next five years following December 31, 2006 and thereafter, scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals, under non-cancelable leases resulting from our foreign operations are as follows:

As a result of statutory lease durations in France and two balloon payments due in 2011 totaling $21,500, projected debt service obligations exceed projected lease revenues in the years 2011 and thereafter. We currently expect the impact from future lease renewals, including any renewals on our properties in France, will be sufficient to cover our debt service obligations in those years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Business and Organization
Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated (the “Company”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. The primary source of the Company’s revenue is earned from leasing real estate, primarily on a triple-net basis. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of lease expirations, lease terminations, the timing of new lease transactions, tenant defaults and sales of properties. As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 289 properties leased to 91 tenants and totaled approximately 29.9 million square feet (on a pro rata basis), with a 100% occupancy rate. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (“WPC”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “advisor”). As of December 31, 2006, the advisor owns 4,948,043 of the Company’s common stock.
An initial offering of the Company’s shares which commenced on November 10, 1997 concluded on November 10, 1999 at which time the Company had issued an aggregate of 29,440,594 shares ($294,406). On November 17, 1999, the Company commenced an offering for a maximum of 40,000,000 shares of common stock. The shares were offered to the public on a “best efforts” basis at a price of $10 per share. The second offering concluded on November 15, 2001, by which time 36,353,686 shares ($363,537) were issued. These proceeds have been combined with limited recourse mortgage financing to purchase the Company’s real estate portfolio. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as it satisfies certain requirements relating to the nature of its income, the level of its distributions and other factors.
On December 1, 2006, the Company completed a merger (the “merger”) with Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated (“CPA®:12”), an affiliate, for a total purchase price of $540,500. Refer to Note 3 for details of the merger.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”). The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company controls. Entities that the Company accounts for under the equity method (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by the Company’s share of earnings or losses, less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company does not control, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company will reconsider its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original determinations.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-05”). The scope of EITF 04-05 is limited to limited partnerships or similar entities that are not variable interest entities under FIN 46(R). The Task Force reached a consensus that the general partners in a limited partnership (or similar entity) are presumed to control the entity regardless of the level of their ownership and, accordingly, may be required to consolidate the entity. This presumption may be overcome if the agreements provide the limited partners with either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (b) substantive participating rights. If it is deemed that the limited partners’ rights overcome the presumption of control by a general partner of the limited partnership, the general partner shall account for its investment in the limited partnership using the equity method of accounting. The Company adopted EITF 04-05 in June 2005 for all arrangements created or modified after June 29, 2005. For all other arrangements, the Company adopted EITF 04-05 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of EITF 04-05 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Upon completion of the merger, the Company acquired additional interests in certain limited liability companies and limited partnerships such that its ownership interests now exceed 50% and the Company exercises significant influence. Because the Company’s venture partners, which are affiliates, are the managing members or general partners in the limited partnerships or limited liability companies and no unaffiliated parties have substantive kick-out or participation rights, the venture partners are required to consolidate the investments under the provisions of EITF 04-05 and, therefore, the Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. All material inter-entity transactions have been eliminated.
The Company has interests in six ventures that are consolidated and have minority interests that have finite lives and were considered mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests prior to the issuance of FSP 150-3. As a result of the deferral provisions of FSP 150-3, these minority interests have not been reflected as liabilities. The carrying value of these minority interests at December 31, 2006

CPA®:14 2006 10-K 46

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
and 2005 is $12,222 and $12,478, respectively. The fair value of these minority interests at December 31, 2006 and 2005 is $12,494 and $10,678, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications and Revisions
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation. The financial statements included in this Form 10-K have been adjusted to reflect the disposition of certain properties as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 15).
Purchase Price Allocation
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of properties, including properties acquired in the merger, purchase costs are allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The value of the tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and tenant improvements, is determined as if vacant. Intangible assets including the above-market value of leases, the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships are recorded at their relative fair values. The below-market value of leases is also recorded at the relative fair values and is included in prepaid and deferred rental income and security deposits in the accompanying financial statements.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in place at the time of acquisition of the properties and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease value is amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of each lease. The capitalized below-market lease value is amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed rate renewal periods in the respective leases.
The total amount of other intangibles is allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with each tenant. Characteristics that are considered in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenant, prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and the expectation of lease renewals among other factors. Third party appraisals or management’s estimates are used to determine these values.
Factors considered in the analysis include the estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Management also considers information obtained about a property in connection with its pre-acquisition due diligence. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, based on management’s assessment of specific market conditions. Management also considers estimated costs to execute leases, including commissions and legal costs, to the extent that such costs are not already incurred with a new lease that has been negotiated in connection with the purchase of the property.
Intangibles for both in-place and above-market leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial lease term while intangibles for both tenant relationships and below-market leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial lease term and any expected renewal terms. No amortization period for any intangible asset will exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. In the event that a lease is terminated, the unamortized portion of each intangible is charged to expense. The purchase price allocation in connection with the merger is described in Note 3.
Real Estate Under Construction and Redevelopment
For properties under construction, operating expenses including interest charges and other property expenses, including real estate taxes, are capitalized rather than expensed and incidental revenue is recorded as a reduction of capitalized project (i.e., construction) costs. Interest is capitalized by applying the interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for properties under construction during the period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of generally three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and money-market funds. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2006 were held in the custody of several financial institutions, including international institutions, and these balances at times exceed federally insurable limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing funds only with major financial institutions.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities, which consist of an interest in collateralized mortgage obligations (see Note 9), common stock in publicly-traded companies and auction-rate securities, are classified as available for sale securities and reported at fair value, with the Company’s interest in unrealized gains and losses on these securities reported as a component of other comprehensive income until realized. The Company had no auction rate securities in 2006.
Other Assets
Included in other assets are deferred charges and deferred rental income. Deferred charges are costs incurred in connection with mortgage financings and refinancings and are amortized over the terms of the mortgages using the effective interest rate method and included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Deferred rental income is the aggregate cumulative difference for operating leases between scheduled rents, which vary during the lease term, and rent recognized on a straight-line basis.
Deferred Acquisition Fees Payable to Affiliate
Fees are payable for services provided by the advisor, an affiliate, to the Company relating to the identification, evaluation, negotiation, financing and purchase of properties. A portion of such fees is deferred and is payable in annual installments totaling 2% of the purchase price of the properties over no less than eight years following the first anniversary of the date a property was purchased. Payment of such fees is subject to the performance criterion (see Note 4).
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost.
Real Estate Leased to Others
Real estate is leased to others on a net lease basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for all operating expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, renewals and improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs including routine betterments are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renovations that increase the useful life of the properties are capitalized. For the year ended December 31, 2006, lessees were responsible for the direct payment of real estate taxes of approximately $17,860.
The Company diversifies its real estate investments among various corporate tenants engaged in different industries, by property type and geographically (see Note 11). Substantially all of the Company’s leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent increases based on formulas indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or percentage rents. CPI increases are contingent on future events and are therefore not included in straight-line rent calculations. Rents from percentage rents are recognized as reported by the lessees, that is, after the level of sales requiring a rental payment to the Company is reached.
The leases are accounted for as operating or direct financing leases. Such methods are described below:
Operating leases — Real estate is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation; future minimum rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases and expenses (including depreciation) are charged to operations as incurred (Note 5).
Direct financing method — Leases accounted for under the direct financing method are recorded at their net investment (Note 6). Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the lease.
On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses its ability to collect rent and other tenant-based receivables and determines an appropriate allowance for uncollected amounts. Because the Company has a limited number of lessees (24 lessees represented 74% of lease revenue during 2006), the Company believes that it is necessary to evaluate the collectibility of these receivables based on the facts and circumstances of each situation rather than solely using statistical methods. The Company generally recognizes a provision for uncollected rents and other tenant receivables and measures its allowance against actual arrearages. For amounts in arrears, the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Company makes subjective judgments based on its knowledge of a lessee’s circumstances and may reserve for the entire receivable amount from a lessee because there has been significant or continuing deterioration in the lessee’s ability to meet its lease obligations.
Depreciation
Depreciation of building and related improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties — generally ranging from 16 to 40 years. Depreciation of tenant improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life.
Impairments
When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets and certain intangible assets based on projections of undiscounted cash flows, without interest charges, over the life of such assets. In the event that such cash flows are insufficient, the assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value. The Company performs a review of its estimate of residual value of its direct financing leases at least annually to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in the Company’s current estimate of residual value of the underlying real estate assets (i.e., the estimate of what the Company could realize upon sale of the property at the end of the lease term). If the review indicates a decline in residual value that is other than temporary, a loss is recognized and the accounting for the direct financing lease will be revised to reflect the decrease in the expected yield using the changed estimate, that is, a portion of the future cash flow from the lessee will be recognized as a return of principal rather than as revenue.
Investments in unconsolidated ventures are accounted for under the equity method and are recorded initially at cost as equity investments in real estate, and are subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of earnings and cash contributions and distributions. On a periodic basis, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of equity investments in real estate may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other than temporary. To the extent an other than temporary impairment has occurred, the charge is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment.
When the Company identifies assets as held for sale, it discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If in the Company’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, an impairment charge is recognized and a valuation allowance is established. To the extent that a purchase and sale agreement has been entered into, the allowance is based on the negotiated sales price. To the extent that the Company has adopted a plan to sell an asset but has not entered into a sales agreement, it will make judgments of the net sales price based on current market information. The Company will continue to review the initial valuation for subsequent changes in the fair value less costs to sell and will recognize an additional impairment charge or a gain (not to exceed the cumulative loss previously recognized). If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company consolidates its real estate investments in the Netherlands, Finland, France and the United Kingdom. The functional currencies for these investments are the Euro and British pound sterling. The translation from these local currencies to the U.S. dollar is performed for assets and liabilities using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. The gains and losses resulting from such translation are reported as a component of other comprehensive income as part of shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment gain was $11,030 and $6,761, respectively.
Foreign currency transactions may produce receivables or payables that are fixed in terms of the amount of foreign currency that will be received or paid. A change in the exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated increases or decreases the expected amount of functional currency cash flows upon settlement of that transaction. That increase or decrease in the expected functional currency cash flows is a foreign currency transaction gain or loss that generally will be included in determining net income for the period in which the exchange rate changes. Likewise, a transaction gain or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later), realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction generally will be included in net income for the period in which the transaction is settled. Foreign currency transactions that are (i) designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of a net investment and (ii) intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term nature (that is, settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future), when the entities to the transactions are consolidated or accounted for by the equity method in the Company’s financial statements will not be included in determining net income but will be accounted for in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
reported as a component of other comprehensive income as part of shareholder’s equity. Contributions to any equity investments in real estate may be funded in part through subordinated debt. The Company had no foreign equity investments in real estate during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and the translation to the reporting currency of intercompany subordinated debt with scheduled principal repayments, are included in the determination of net income, and the Company recognized unrealized (losses) gains of $513, ($775) and $90 from such transactions in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized realized gains of $417, $334 and $1,357, respectively, on foreign currency transactions in connection with the transfer of cash from foreign operations of subsidiaries to the parent company.
Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments in accordance with FASB No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended (“SFAS 133”). Certain stock warrants which were granted to the Company by lessees in connection with structuring the initial lease transactions are defined as derivative instruments because such stock warrants are readily convertible to cash or provide for net settlement upon conversion. Pursuant to SFAS 133, changes in the fair value of such derivative instruments are determined using an option pricing model and are recognized currently in earnings as gains or losses. The Company also holds stock warrants that were not defined as derivative instruments and have been recorded at nominal values.
A lease for a property located in the Netherlands provides the Company with an option to receive a portion of rental payments in Euros or U.S. dollars. Pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 133, the option is a derivative instrument and changes in the fair value of the option are recognized in earnings as gains or losses.
Changes in the fair value of an interest swap instrument on a variable rate loan are included in the determination of net income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company entered into the interest rate swap agreement for the purpose of fixing the interest rate on the limited recourse obligation for the term of that obligation; however, the swap agreement did not qualify as a hedge for financial accounting purposes and changes in its value have been reflected in earnings. The interest rate swap agreement was terminated during 2006.
Assets Held for Sale
Assets held for sale are accounted for at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to dispose. Assets are classified as held for sale when the Company has committed to a plan to actively market a property for sale and expects that a sale will be completed within one year. The results of operations and the related gain or loss on sale of properties classified as held for sale are included in discontinued operations (see Note 15).
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
The Company recognizes gains and losses on the sale of properties when among other criteria, the parties are bound by the terms of the contract, all consideration has been exchanged and all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. At the time the sale is consummated, a gain or loss is recognized as the difference between the sale price less any closing costs and the carrying value of the property.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected and expects to continue to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company is required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income to its shareholders (excluding net capital gains) and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes its net taxable income annually to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company has and intends to continue to operate so that it meets the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Many of these requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If the Company were to fail to meet these requirements, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Company is subject to certain state, local and foreign taxes. State, local, franchise and other taxes of $57, $434 and $595 are included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Earnings Per Share
The Company has a simple equity capital structure with only common stock outstanding. As a result, earnings per share, as presented, represents both basic and dilutive per-share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
EITF 04-05
The Company adopted EITF 04-05 in June 2005 for all limited partnerships created after June 29, 2005 and on January 1, 2006 for all other arrangements. Refer to Basis of Consolidation above for a discussion of the effect of EITF 04-05 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
FSP FAS 13-1
In October 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 13-1 “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period” (“FSP FAS 13-1”). FSP FAS 13-1 addresses the accounting for rental costs associated with operating leases that are incurred during the construction period. FSP FAS 13-1 makes no distinction between the right to use a leased asset during the construction period and the right to use that asset after the construction period. Therefore, rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a construction period shall be recognized as rental expense, allocated over the lease term in accordance with SFAS No. 13 and Technical Bulletin 85-3. The Company adopted FSP FAS 13-1 as required on January 1, 2006 and the initial application of this Staff Position did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 155
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No.155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). The purpose of SFAS 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 also eliminates the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. The Company must adopt SFAS 155 effective January 1, 2007 and does not believe that this adoption will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
FIN 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The Company must adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.
SAB 108
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements.
Traditionally, there have been two widely-recognized methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements: the “rollover” method and the “iron curtain” method. The rollover method focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income statement — including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements — but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron curtain method, on the other hand, focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior year errors on the income statement. The Company currently uses the iron curtain method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements.
In SAB 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and rollover methods. SAB 108 permits existing public companies to initially apply its provisions either by (i) restating prior financial statements as if the “dual approach” had always been used or (ii) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Use of the “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The Company adopted SAB 108

using the cumulative effect transition method in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Note 3. Business Combination with Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated
On December 1, 2006, the Company completed a merger (the “merger”) with Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated (“CPA®:12”) , an affiliate, pursuant to a merger agreement dated June 29, 2006. The merger provided a liquidation option for CPA®:12 shareholders and provided the Company with the opportunity to continue to grow and enhance its investment portfolio. Under the terms of the merger, which was approved by the shareholders of both companies at special meetings of the shareholders of each company held on November 30, 2006, the Company acquired CPA®:12’s business on December 1, 2006 and is the surviving company. The total purchase price for CPA®:12 was $540,500, which was comprised of 18,470,351 shares of the Company’s common stock ($218,874 based on a value of $11.85 per share), $102,176 in consideration for CPA®:12 shareholders who redeemed their interests (9,920,039 shares of CPA®:12), $215,369 in fair value of debt and other liabilities assumed (including the Company’s pro rata share of fair value of debt assumed on investments accounted for under the equity method) and transaction costs of $4,081. Prior to the merger, CPA®:12 sold certain of its properties or interests in properties to third parties and to the advisor which had remaining lease terms of eight years or less and therefore did not meet the Company’s investment objectives. As a result of these sales and prior to the merger, CPA®:12 paid a special distribution to its shareholders of $99,432 in addition to a distribution of $4,273 from its operations for the period from October 1, 2006 through November 30, 2006. The Company also owned a 49.99% interest in one of these properties, which was sold to a third party in October 2006, and as a result of the sale, the Company made a special cash distribution of $0.04 per share to its shareholders at the close of the merger (see Note 14).
Under the terms of the merger agreement, CPA®:12’s shareholders had the right to elect to receive either $10.30 per share in cash or 0.8692 of the Company’s shares for each share of CPA®:12 owned as of October 20, 2006. The value of properties acquired and the exchange rates are based in large part on a third party valuation of the properties belonging to CPA®:12 as of December 31, 2005 and were subsequently adjusted to reflect the Starmark Holdings LLC (“Starmark”) restructuring (see Note 7) but did not take into account any additional changes in value that may have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2005.
The Company has accounted for the merger under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values. The assets acquired primarily consist of commercial real estate assets net leased to single tenants, lease-related intangible assets cash, a subordinated interest in a mortgage loan securitization, receivables and deposits. The liabilities assumed primarily consist of mortgage notes payable, accrued interest, accounts payable, security deposits and amounts due to former CPA®:12 shareholders. The amounts due to former CPA®:12 shareholders were paid on December 1, 2006. In addition, the advisor owned 2,134,140 shares of CPA®:12 as of December 1, 2006 and elected to receive elected to receive $9,861 in cash and 1,022,800 shares of the Company’s stock on consummation of the merger.
The Company has entered into a $150,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank. The credit facility provides for an initial three year term and an annual interest rate of either (i) LIBOR plus a spread which ranges from 135 to 160 basis points depending on our leverage or (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 0.50%, plus a spread of up to 0.125% depending on our leverage ratio (see Note 12).
The advisor agreed to make available to the Company an additional loan of up to $50,000 to be funded using the advisor’s existing credit line. The loan from the advisor had a maturity date of May 2007 and bore interest ranging between LIBOR plus 110 basis points and 145 basis points, which are the same terms as the advisor’s existing credit line. In connection with the consummation of the merger on December 1, 2006, the advisor loaned $24,000 to the Company to facilitate the merger closing. The loan was repaid on December 5, 2006 with proceeds from the credit facility.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
On completion of the merger, CPA®:12 paid the advisor termination and disposition compensation totaling $49,798. A subsidiary of the advisor has agreed to indemnify the Company if it were to suffer certain losses arising out of a breach by CPA®:12 of its representations and warranties under the merger agreement and having a material adverse effect on the Company after the merger, up to the amount of fees received by such subsidiary of the advisor in connection with the merger. The advisor has also agreed to waive any acquisition fees payable after the merger by the Company under its advisory agreement with the advisor in respect of the properties being acquired in the merger and has also agreed to waive any disposition fees that may subsequently be payable by the Company to the advisor upon a sale of such assets. As described in Note 4, the Company assumed deferred acquisition fees incurred by CPA®:12.
Note 4. Transactions with Related Parties
Pursuant to an advisory agreement between the Company and the advisor, the advisor performs certain services for the Company including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, financing, purchase and disposition of property, the day-to-day management of the Company and the performance of certain administrative duties. The advisory agreement between the Company and the advisor provides that the advisor will receive an asset management fee. The fee is 1% of average invested assets as defined in the advisory agreement, 1/2 of which (the “performance fee”) is subordinated to the performance criterion, a cumulative rate of cash flow from operations of 7% per annum. Effective in 2005, the advisory agreement was amended to allow the advisor to elect to receive restricted common stock for any fees due from the Company. For 2006 and 2005, the advisor has elected to receive the performance fees through the issuance of restricted shares of common stock in the Company.
The advisor is also reimbursed for the allocated cost of personnel needed to provide administrative services necessary to the operations of the Company. The Company incurred base asset management fees of $8,743, $9,055 and $8,540 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and performance fees in like amounts, both of which are included in property expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company incurred personnel reimbursements of $2,728, $2,789 and $2,856 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Fees are payable to the advisor for services provided to the Company relating to the identification, evaluation, negotiation, financing and purchase of properties and refinancing of mortgages. A portion of such fees is deferred and payable in equal installments over no less than eight years following the first anniversary of the date a property was purchased. Such deferred fees are only payable if the performance criterion has been met. The unpaid portion of the deferred fees bears interest at an annual rate of 6% from the date of acquisition of a property until paid. In connection with the merger, the Company assumed deferred fees incurred by CPA®:12 totaling $2,734 that bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and have scheduled installment payments through 2013.
The Company’s annual installment of $3,514 in deferred fees was paid to the advisor in January 2006. For transactions that were completed in 2004, current fees were $936 and deferred fees were $749. No such fees were incurred during 2005 or 2006. In connection with the refinancing of mortgage obligations on existing properties, fees of $270 were incurred and paid during 2006. No such fees were incurred during 2005 and 2004.
The advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company for the amount by which operating expenses of the Company exceed the 2%/25% guidelines (the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income) as defined in the advisory agreement for any twelve-month period. If in any year the operating expenses of the Company exceed the 2%/25% guidelines, the advisor will have an obligation to reimburse the Company for such excess, subject to certain conditions. If the independent directors find that such excess expenses were justified based on any unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the advisor may be paid in future years for the full amount or any portion of such excess expenses, but only to the extent that such reimbursement would not cause the Company’s operating expenses to exceed this limit in any such year. Charges related to asset impairment, bankruptcy of lessees, lease payment defaults, extinguishment of debt or uninsured losses are generally not considered unusual and nonrecurring. A determination that a charge is unusual and nonrecurring, such as the costs of significant litigation that are not associated with day-to day operations, or uninsured losses that are beyond the size or scope of the usual course of business based on the event history and experience of the advisor and independent directors, is made at the sole discretion of the independent directors. The Company will record any reimbursement of operating expenses as a liability until any contingencies are resolved and will record the reimbursement as a reduction of asset management and performance fees at such time that a reimbursement is fixed, determinable and irrevocable. The operating expenses of the Company have not exceeded the amount that would require the advisor to reimburse the Company.
The advisor will be entitled to receive subordinated disposition fees based upon the cumulative proceeds arising from the sale of Company assets since the inception of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Pursuant to the subordination provisions of the advisory agreement, the disposition fees may be paid only after the shareholders receive 100% of their initial investment from the

CPA®:14 2006 10-K 53

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
proceeds of asset sales and a cumulative annual return of 6% (based on an initial share price of $10) since the inception of the Company. The advisor’s interest in such disposition fees amounts to $3,507 and $412 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Payment of such amount, however, cannot be made until the subordination provisions are met. The Company has concluded that payment of such disposition fees is probable and all fees from completed property sales have been accrued.

Note 7. Equity Investments in Real Estate
The Company owns interests in single-tenant net leased properties leased to corporations through noncontrolling interests (i) in various partnerships and limited liability companies in which its ownership interests are 50% or less and the Company exercises significant influence, (ii) as tenants-in-common subject to joint control and (iii) in limited liability companies and limited partnerships in which its ownership interests exceed 50% and the Company exercises significant influence (see Note 2). The ownership interests range from 11.54% to 66.67%. All of the underlying investments are owned with affiliates that have similar investment objectives as the Company.
Upon completion of the merger, the Company acquired investments in properties leased to Best Buy Co., Inc., Sicor, Inc., The Upper Deck Company, Del Monte Corporation and ShopRite Supermarkets, Inc. The Company also acquired the remaining interests in existing investments leased to Textron, Inc. and Special Devices, Inc. which had previously been accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and now consolidates these investments on its consolidated financial statements effective December 1, 2006. In addition, the Company increased its interests in investments leasing properties to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Compucom Systems, Inc. and Starmark Camhood, LLC (“Starmark Camhood”) to 66.67%, 66.67% and 56%, respectively but continues to account for these properties under the equity method of accounting under the provisions of EITF 04-05, as described in Note 2. In 2006, the Company terminated the master lease agreement with Starmark Camhood and entered into new lease agreements with Life Time Fitness, Inc. (“Life Time”) and Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (“Town Sports”) as described below (2).
During 2006, the Company sold its investments in properties leased to Clear Channel Communications, Inc.(3) and Applied Materials, Inc.(4) as described below. The Company also has investments in properties leased to Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (5), CheckFree Holdings, Inc., True Value Company, and U-Haul Moving Partners, Inc.

(1)   Results for equity investees are presented for the period during which the Company accounted for the investee under the equity method of accounting (that is, for December 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 for investments acquired during the merger, and for January 1, 2006 through November 30, 2006 for the two investments that are now consolidated following the Company’s acquisition of the remaining interests in the merger). Results for investments owned by the Company as of January 1, 2006, including those investments in which the Company increased its interest in an existing investment in the merger, are presented for the full year.
 
(2)   The Company and an affiliate own interests in a venture owning 15 properties formerly leased to Starmark (formerly the parent of Starmark Camhood L.L.C.) under a master lease agreement. The Company owned a 41% interest in this venture and acquired an additional 15% interest in the venture in the merger. The Company continues to account for this investment under the equity method of accounting as its affiliate is the managing member in the limited liability company and is required to consolidate the investment under the provisions of EITF 04-05. The Company’s interest in this investment had a carrying value of $34,975 and $29,113 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and accounted for ($7,786), $2,835 and $2,682 of (loss) income from equity investments in real estate for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The loss in 2006 reflects the recognition of impairment charges and prepayment penalties and debt defeasance costs as described below.
 
    In January 2006, the advisor entered into a cooperation agreement with Starmark. Under this cooperation agreement, the advisor, on behalf of ourselves and our affiliate, agreed to cooperate in Starmark’s efforts to sell its existing individual leasehold interests to third parties and restructure the lease agreements. Additionally, Starmark’s financial covenants were replaced by certain payment restrictions and an agreement to reserve certain of the proceeds of sale of the leasehold interests and other Starmark properties to cover certain costs the venture incurred in connection with transactions under the cooperation agreement.
 
    In June 2006, the advisor approved a plan to restructure the master lease agreement with Starmark. Under the restructuring plan, six properties under the master lease agreement were re-leased to Life Time Fitness, Inc. (“Life Time”), a new tenant unaffiliated with Starmark, and Life Time entered into a commitment to provide $20,000 of improvements to these six properties. In connection with the restructuring, four properties formerly leased to Starmark were transferred to Life Time in exchange for Life Time’s commitment to use $10,000 to fund a portion of the improvements to the six leased properties. This commitment is secured by letters of credit totaling $10,000. The venture has transferred title of these four properties to Life Time and the venture has no continuing involvement in the transferred properties. No gain or loss was recorded on the transfer of the four properties as the venture had previously written down the four transferred properties to their estimated fair values, as described below. The remaining $10,000 of improvements to the six leased properties will be funded through a rent abatement to the tenant of $2,322 and through security deposits and prepaid rent totaling $7,678 that were released by Starmark prior to the merger (of which the Company’s pro rata share is $952 and $3,148, respectively). The $20,000 of improvements (of which the Company’s pro rata share, following the merger, is $11,200) are for the benefit of the venture and will be retained by the venture upon expiration of the

lease. One additional property was re-leased to Town Sports International Holdings, Inc., a second new tenant unaffiliated with Starmark, on terms similar to the original lease with Starmark. The master lease agreement was amended to remove these properties.
As a result of approving the restructuring plan, during the second quarter of 2006, the venture incurred charges totaling $24,978, including $18,678 to write off intangible assets on the properties leased to Starmark and $6,300 to reduce the carrying value of the four properties to be sold to their estimated fair values. The Company’s pro rata share of these charges totals $10,241. During the third quarter of 2006, the venture also prepaid/defeased the existing debt of $100,857 and incurred prepayment penalties and debt defeasance costs totaling $10,072 (of which the Company’s share is $41,351 and $4,130, respectively). During the fourth quarter of 2006, the venture obtained new limited recourse mortgage financing of $80,000 on the Life Time properties at a fixed annual interest rate of 5.75% and with a 10-year term (of which the Company’s share is $32,800).
In December 2006, a third party, Fitness Ventures purchased 100% of the existing shareholders’ interests in the ownership of Starmark. At this time, Fitness Ventures issued warrants to the Company and its affiliate to acquire up to 10% of its equity and entered into new leases for the four remaining properties under terms which are similar to the original master lease. Concurrent with these transactions, the cooperation agreement with Starmark was terminated and the venture recognized lease termination income of $8,145, of which $7,678 represents security deposits and prepaid rent from Starmark and $447 represents the release of real estate tax escrows funded by the venture which have been replaced by escrows funded by the new lessees. The Company’s share of the termination income is $4,561.
The Company’s share of the effects of the venture’s transactions will be reflected as part of income from equity investments in our statements of income in the periods described.
 
(3)   In June 2006, a venture in which the Company and an affiliate held 40% and 60% interests, respectively, sold a property in New York, New York leased to Clear Channel for $200,012, net of closing costs, and recognized a gain on the sale of $41,101, net of a $10,253 writeoff of unrecoverable receivables related to future stated rent increases. In connection with the sale, the venture repaid the existing limited recourse mortgage obligation of $81,166 and incurred a charge for prepayment penalties and related costs totaling $2,981. The Company’s pro rata share of the gain, which was $16,441, and the charge for prepayment penalties of $1,192 is included in income from equity investments in real estate in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
(4)   In October 2006, a venture through which the Company and an affiliate held 49.99% and 50.01% interests, respectively, in a property in California leased to Applied Materials, sold the property for $56,357 and recognized a gain on this sale of $14,362, of which the Company’s share is $28,172 and $7,180, respectively. The venture also recognized a gain on the sale of additional properties in which the Company had no ownership interest. In connection with the sale, the venture repaid the outstanding mortgage obligation on this property of $19,680 in October 2006 and incurred a charge on the early extinguishment of debt of $1,788, of which the Company’s share is $9,838 and $894, respectively.
 
(5)   In December 2005, the Company contributed a 55.1% interest in a limited liability company, which owns land and building in Plainfield, Indiana. The Company retained a 44.9% interest in the limited liability company and as a result now accounts for its interest under the equity method of accounting.
 
(6)   On April 29, 2004, the Company, along with two affiliates, Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated and Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated, through a limited partnership in which the Company owns an 11.54% interest through a subsidiary, purchased 78 retail self-storage and truck rental facilities and entered into master lease agreements with two lessees that operate the facilities under the U-Haul brand name. The self-storage facilities are leased to Mercury, and the truck rental facilities are leased to U-Haul. The total cost was $312,445. In connection with the purchase, the limited partnership obtained $183,000 of limited recourse mortgage financing collateralized by the properties and lease assignments.
 
    The Mercury lease has an initial term of 20 years with two 10-year renewal options and provides for annual rent of $18,551. The Mercury lease is guaranteed by Mercury 99, LLC, an entity that owns a 99% ownership interest in Mercury. The U-Haul lease has an initial term of 10 years with two 10-year renewal options and provides for annual rent of $9,990. In the event of default, termination or expiration of the U-Haul lease, Mercury 99, LLC will automatically assume the obligations of the U-Haul lease and Mercury 99, LLC will continue to lease the self-storage facilities and shall lease the truck rental facilities pursuant to the terms (with extension) of the U-Haul lease. Upon Mercury 99, LLC’s assumption, the term of the U-Haul lease shall be deemed extended so as to automatically become co-terminus for the term of the Mercury 99, LLC lease. Each lease provides for rent increases every five years based on a formula indexed to the CPI.

The loan provides for monthly payments of principal and interest of $1,230 at a fixed annual interest rate of 6.449% and based on a 25-year amortization schedule. The loan matures on May 1, 2014.
Note 8. Intangibles
In connection with its acquisition of properties from CPA®:12, the Company has recorded net lease intangibles of $87,653 which are being amortized over periods ranging from 9 to 40 years. Amortization of below-market and above-market rent intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to revenue.
Intangibles are summarized as follows:
         
    December 31, 2006  
 
       
Lease intangibles
       
In-place lease
  $ 35,715  
Tenant relationship

    11  
 
     
 
    (5,354 )
 
     
Net amortization of intangibles was $561 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Based on the intangibles recorded as of December 31, 2006, scheduled annual net amortization of intangibles for each of the next five years is expected to be $6,774.
Note 9. Mortgage Financing Through Loan Securitization
The Company is accounting for its subordinated interest in the Carey Commercial Mortgage Trust (“CCMT”) mortgage securitization as an available-for-sale marketable security, which is measured at fair value with all gains and losses from changes in fair value reported as a component of other comprehensive income as part of shareholders’ equity. Upon completion of the merger, the Company acquired CPA®:12’s share of the CCMT at a fair value of $7,346. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the Company’s interest was $13,911 and $6,434, respectively, reflecting an aggregate unrealized gain of $1,623 and $747 and accumulated amortization of $462 and $345 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s interest in CCMT is determined using a discounted cash flow model with assumptions for market rates and the credit quality of the underlying lessees.
One of the key variables in determining the fair value of the subordinated interest is current interest rates. As required by SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” a sensitivity analysis of the current value of the CPA® Interests based on adverse changes in the market interest rates of 1% and 2% as of December 31, 2006 is as follows:
                         
    Fair value as of   1% adverse   2% adverse
    December 31, 2006   change   change
Fair value of CPA® Interests
  $ 13,911     $ 13,378     $ 12,871  
The above sensitivity is hypothetical and changes in fair value, based on a 1% or 2% variation, should not be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not always be linear.

Note 10. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s mortgage notes payable had a carrying value of $785,815 and $663,098 and a fair value of $785,103 and $718,347 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company’s marketable securities, including its interest in Carey Commercial Mortgage Trust, had a carrying value of $12,510 and $8,935 and a fair value of $14,207 and $9,267 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of debt instruments was evaluated using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenants and interest rate risk. The fair value of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximated their carrying value.
Note 11. Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments
Risk Management
In the normal course of its on-going business operations, the Company encounters economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s operations and tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of the properties and related loans held by the Company due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. In addition, the Company transacts business in Finland, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and is also subject to the risks associated with changing exchange rates.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
From time to time, the Company may obtain variable rate mortgage loans and may enter into interest rate swap contracts with lenders which effectively convert the variable rate debt service obligations of the loan to a fixed rate. The Company does not have any interest rate swap agreements in place as of December 31, 2006. In addition, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge foreign exchange rate risk exposure, credit/market risks or for speculative purposes.
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its borrowing activities. The Company attempts to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis to mitigate this exposure. As of December 31, 2006, 81% of the Company’s limited recourse mortgage financing bears interest at fixed rates. The majority of the Company’s variable rate debt consists of limited recourse mortgage obligations that currently bear interest at fixed rates but may be reset in the future, pursuant to the terms of the mortgage contracts. The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange rate movements in the Euro and British pound sterling. The Company manages foreign exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the local currency but remain subject to such movements to the extent of the difference.
The Company owns stock warrants that were granted to the Company by lessees in connection with structuring the initial lease transactions or were acquired through the merger which are defined as derivative instruments because these stock warrants are readily convertible to cash or provide for net settlement upon conversion. Warrants issued to the Company by Consolidated Theaters Holding, G.P., Compucom Systems, Inc., Vermont Teddy Bear Company and Fitness Ventures are classified as derivative instruments and had an aggregate fair value of $4,338 and $665 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
A lease for a property located in the Netherlands provides the Company with an option to receive a portion of rental payments in Euros or U.S. dollars. Pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 133, this option is deemed a derivative instrument. As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s cumulative unrealized foreign currency gain from this option was $5.
Changes in the fair value of an interest swap instrument on a variable rate loan are included in the determination of net income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company entered into the interest rate swap agreement for the purpose of fixing the interest rate on the limited recourse obligation for the term of that obligation; however, the swap agreement did not qualify as a hedge for financial accounting purposes and changes in its value have been reflected in earnings. The interest rate swap agreement was terminated during 2006 at a cost of $147 following the payment of the remaining $8,677 balance of the related variable rate limited recourse mortgage obligation, at which time the Company reversed a cumulative unrealized loss of $229.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or conduct business in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company regularly monitors its portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. The Company believes our portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain any unusual concentration of credit risks.
The majority of the Company’s real estate properties and related loans are located in the United States, with Texas (10%) representing the only significant concentration (greater than 10% of annualized lease revenue). The Company’s real estate properties contain significant concentrations in the following asset types as of December 31, 2006: industrial (33%), warehouse/distribution (28%) and office (21%) and the following tenant industries as of December 31, 2006: retail (23%) and electronics (14%). For the year ended December 31, 2006, one tenant, Carrefour France, SAS represented 11.5% of our total lease revenue.

135 to 160 basis points depending on our leverage or (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 0.50%, plus a spread of up to 0.125% depending on our leverage ratio. The credit facility is guaranteed by the Company’s current and future subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. The credit facility has financial covenants that require, among other things, the Company to maintain a minimum equity value and to meet or exceed certain operating and coverage ratios. The Company is in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2006. The facility also provides the Company with the right, on up to two occasions, to increase the amount available under the credit facility by not less than $20,000 and not more than $75,000 up to a maximum of $225,000.
Upon consummation of the merger, the Company paid a fee to the lender of $1,033 and drew down $25,000 from its credit facility. The credit facility bore interest of 6.80% per annum as of December 31, 2006.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2006, the Company was not involved in any material litigation.
In March 2004, following a broker-dealer examination of Carey Financial, LLC (“Carey Financial”), the wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of WPC, by the staff of the SEC, Carey Financial received a letter from the staff of the SEC alleging certain infractions by Carey Financial of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations thereunder and those of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”).
The staff alleged that in connection with a public offering of the shares of Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated (“CPA®:15”), Carey Financial and its retail distributors sold certain securities without an effective registration statement. Specifically, the staff alleged that the delivery of investor funds into escrow after completion of the first phase of the offering (the “Phase I Offering”), completed in the fourth quarter of 2002 but before a registration statement with respect to the second phase of the offering (the “Phase II Offering”) became effective in the first quarter of 2003, constituted sales of securities in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, in the March 2004 letter the staff raised issues about whether actions taken in connection with the Phase II offering were adequately disclosed to investors in the Phase I Offering.
In June 2004, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC (“Enforcement Staff”) commenced an investigation into compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the public offerings of CPA®:15’s shares during 2002 and 2003. In December 2004, the scope of the Enforcement Staff’s inquiries broadened to include broker-dealer compensation arrangements in connection with CPA®:15 and other REITs managed by WPC, including the Company, as well as the disclosure of such arrangements. At that time WPC and Carey Financial received a subpoena from the Enforcement Staff seeking documents relating to payments by WPC, Carey Financial, and REITs managed by WPC to (or requests for payment received from) any broker-dealer, excluding selling commissions and selected dealer fees. WPC and Carey Financial subsequently received additional subpoenas and requests for information from the Enforcement Staff seeking, among other things, information relating to any revenue sharing agreements or payments (defined to include any payment to a broker-dealer, excluding selling commissions and selected dealer fees) made by WPC, Carey Financial or any REIT managed by WPC in connection with the distribution of WPC’s managed REITs or the retention or maintenance of REIT assets. Other information sought by the SEC includes information concerning the accounting treatment and disclosure of any such payments, communications with third parties (including other REIT issuers) concerning revenue sharing, and documents concerning the calculation of underwriting compensation in connection with the REIT offerings under applicable NASD rules.
In response to the Enforcement Staff’s subpoenas and requests, WPC and Carey Financial have produced documents relating to payments made to certain broker-dealers both during and after the offering process, for certain of the REITs managed by WPC (including Corporate Property Associates 10 Incorporated (“CPA®:10”), Carey Institutional Properties Incorporated (“CIP®”), CPA®:12 and CPA®:15 as well as the Company), in addition to selling commissions and selected dealer fees.
Among the payments reflected on documents produced to the Staff were certain payments, aggregating in excess of $9,600, made to a broker-dealer which distributed shares of the REITs. The expenses associated with these payments, which were made during the period from early 2000 through the end of 2003, were borne by and accounted for on the books and records of the REITs. Of these payments, CPA®:10 paid in excess of $40; CIP® paid in excess of $875; CPA®:12 paid in excess of $2,455; the Company paid in excess of $4,990; and CPA®:15 paid in excess of $1,240. In addition, other smaller payments by the REITs to the same and other broker-dealers have been identified aggregating less than $1,000.
WPC and Carey Financial are cooperating fully with this investigation and have provided information to the Enforcement Staff in response to the subpoenas and requests. Although no formal regulatory action has been initiated against WPC or Carey Financial in

connection with the matters being investigated, the Company expects the SEC may pursue such an action against either or both. The nature of the relief or remedies the SEC may seek cannot be predicted at this time. If an action is brought, it could have a material adverse effect on WPC and Carey Financial and the magnitude of that effect would not necessarily be limited to the payments described above but could include other payments and civil monetary penalties. Any action brought against WPC or Carey Financial could also have a material adverse effect on the Company because of our dependence on WPC and Carey Financial for a broad range of services.
Several state securities regulators have sought information from Carey Financial relating to the matters described above. While one or more states may commence proceedings against Carey Financial in connection with these inquiries, the Company does not currently expect that these inquiries or proceedings will have a material effect on WPC or Carey Financial incremental to that caused by any SEC action.

Note 18. Pro Forma Financial Information
The following consolidated pro forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 has been presented as if properties acquired in connection with the merger, mortgage obligations assumed in the merger and amounts drawn under the Company’s credit facility to effect the merger, had occurred on January 1, 2005. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would have been, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.
                 
    For the years ended December 31,
    2006   2005
Pro forma total revenues
  $ 166,414     $ 165,088  
Pro forma income from continuing operations
    63,774       52,612  
Pro forma income from continuing operations per share
    0.73       0.60  
For pro forma purposes, the Company’s interest income, other than interest earned from an existing mortgage security in which the Company increased its pro-rata share as a result of the merger, has been eliminated based on an assumption that substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents would be used to facilitate the merger. The Company will likely earn interest on cash generated from operations; however, it is not practicable to make assumptions as to how much interest income would have been earned on such funds during the pro forma periods presented.
Note 19. Subsequent Events
In January 2007, the Company obtained limited recourse mortgage financing on existing properties totaling $26,227, including its pro rata share of mortgage financing on a property accounted for under the equity method. The financing has a weighted average interest rate and term of 5.84% and 12 years, respectively.
Effective April 2, 2007, Trevor Bond is resigning from the Company’s board of directors in connection with his appointment to the advisor’s board of directors. Marshall Blume was appointed as an independent director of the Company’s board of directors, effective April 2, 2007.

If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to (or is not permitted to) finance such payment with an ABR Borrowing and fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
     (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason

-28-


 

of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing (and the agreement of the Borrower in the first sentence of this Section 2.6(f)) shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
     (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement nor shall the Issuing Bank have any liability whatsoever to the Borrower or the Lenders for any failure to give any such notice.
     (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
     (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the

-29-


 

Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
     (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least 66-2/3% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least 66-2/3% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower has provided an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     SECTION 2.7. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account specified by the Borrower in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC

-30-


 

Disbursement as provided in Section 2.6(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.
     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing. If any interest is paid by the Borrower as described above for any period with respect to any amount funded by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest on such amount pursuant to Section 2.13 in respect of such period.
     SECTION 2.8. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Borrowing may only be continued on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
     (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request.
     (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:
     (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be

-31-


 

specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
     (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
     (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
     (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
     (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
     (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
     SECTION 2.9. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
     (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments and (iii) the Borrower shall not reduce the total Commitments to an amount less than $100,000,000 unless the Commitments are terminated.
     (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the

-32-


 

Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
     SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan not later than the Maturity Date.
     (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
     (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and 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 Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
     (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.
     SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.
     (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with

-33-


 

a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.9, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.9. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
     (c) If at any time from and after the Closing Date: (i) the Borrower merges or consolidates with another Person and the Borrower is not the surviving entity, or (ii) any Person and the Borrower or a Subsidiary merge into the Borrower or a Subsidiary in a transaction in which the Borrower or a Subsidiary is the surviving corporation and an Event of Default has occurred as a result thereof (the date either such event shall occur being the “Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loans in their entireties as if the Prepayment Date were the Maturity Date and the Commitments thereupon shall be terminated. The Borrower shall immediately make such prepayment together with the interest accrued to the date of the prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and shall return or cause to be returned all Letters of Credit to the Issuing Bank. In connection with the prepayment of any Loan prior to the maturity thereof, the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.16. Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this clause (c) may not be reborrowed.
     (d) The Borrower shall prepay Loans to the extent required by Section 5.2(b).
     SECTION 2.12. Fees.
     (a) During the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Commitment of each Lender terminates, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an unused commitment fee equal to the Unused Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Unused Commitment of such Lender (the “Unused Commitment Fee Amount”). Accrued Unused Commitment Fee Amounts shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year commencing on the first such date after the Closing Date, and on the date on which the Commitments terminate. All fees pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
     (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate as interest on Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and

-34-


 

including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued from and including the Closing Date or the last day of the preceding March, June, September or December, as applicable, to and excluding the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable, in the case of participation fees, on such last Business Day of such month, in the case of fronting fees, on the third day Business Day following such last Business Day, and in each case, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
     (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
     (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of fees pursuant to paragraph (a) above and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
     SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
     (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (A) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (B) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and (ii) for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans and other Obligations (which for any amounts other than principal of and interest on Loans shall be the rate applicable to ABR Loans).
     (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a

-35-


 

prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
     (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error
     SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
     SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Borrowings is determined) or the Issuing Bank; or
     (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will

-36-


 

pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
     (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
     (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
     SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion to be sufficient to compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar

Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall include an amount determined by the Administrative Agent to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount as determined by the Administrative Agent within 10 days after the request for payment from the Administrative Agent.
     SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, each Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
     (e) Prior to the date that any Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto, such Foreign Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with a properly executed copy

-38-


 

of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to claim complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder. At all times each Foreign Lender shall own or beneficially own a Note, such Foreign Lender shall (i) promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and (ii) comply at all times with all applicable United States laws and regulations, including all provisions of any applicable tax treaty, with regard to any withholding tax exemption claimed with respect to any payments hereunder. If any Foreign Lender cannot deliver the forms referred to in the preceding sentence, then Borrower may withhold from payments due under the Loan Documents such amounts as Borrower is able to determine from accurate information provided by such Foreign Lender are required by the Internal Revenue Code.
     SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 2120 E. Park Place, Suite 100, El Segundo, California (or such other location for payment as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower), except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.
     (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

     (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, except pursuant to Section 2.19, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting to such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
     (e) If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of 2 Business Days after notice from the Administrative Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of Required Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If for any reason a Lender fails to make timely payment to the Administrative

-40-


 

Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the greater of Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held by the Administrative Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.
     SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall, upon the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
     (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 (and the Required Lenders are not also doing the same) or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and

delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
     SECTION 2.20. Increase in Commitment. (a) Unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.20(b), the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Additional Commitment Notice”), may request on up to two (2) occasions during the Availability Period that the total Commitments be increased by an amount not less than $20,000,000 per request and not more than $75,000,000 in the aggregate (such that the total Commitments after such increase shall never exceed $225,000,000); provided that for any such request any Lender which is a party to this Agreement prior to such request for increase, at its sole discretion, may elect to increase its Commitment, but shall not have any obligation to so increase its Commitment. In the event that lenders commit to any such increase, (i) the Commitments of the committed Lenders shall be increased accordingly, (ii) the Applicable Percentages of each of the Lenders shall be adjusted accordingly (or, in the case of a new lender not previously party hereto, added to Schedule 1) and the Borrower shall make such borrowings and repayments as shall be necessary to effect such reallocation of the Commitments, (iii) if requested by any Lender making an additional or new commitment, new Notes shall be issued, and (iv) other changes shall be made by way of supplement, amendment or restatement of any Loan Document as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Commitments or any other lenders have agreed to make new commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20 without the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders increasing their Commitments. The fees payable by the Borrower upon any such increase in Commitments shall be agreed upon by the Arranger and the Borrower at the time of such increase. In the event of any such increase of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20, the aggregate LC Exposure of the Lenders shall remain $25,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.20 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder.
     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be effective only if (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the Additional Commitment Notice and the date such increase is to become effective; (ii) each of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and complete on and as of the date of the Additional Commitment Notice and the date such increase is to become effective with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (x) such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the authorization of such increase and (y) a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) of counsel for the Borrower and the other Loan Parties substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 or F-2, as applicable, after giving effect to such increase; (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with Article VI; and (v) the Lenders shall have received all amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.16 as a result of the repayment described in clause (ii) of Section 2.20(a).
     SECTION 2.21. Funds Transfer Disbursements.

-42-


 

     (a) Generally. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. The Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower or (ii) made in the Borrower’s name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within 14 days after the Administrative Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower of such transfer.
     (b) Funds Transfer. The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent or prohibited by government authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline, or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent to violate any applicable law or regulation.
     (c) Limitation of Liability. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which the Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond the Administrative Agent’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Administrative Agent or the Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages.

ARTICLE VIII.
The Administrative Agent
     SECTION 8.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default unless the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under this Agreement) have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other

-66-


 

Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
     SECTION 8.2. Wells Fargo as Lender. Wells Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of the Borrower (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
     SECTION 8.3. Approvals of Lenders. All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower relevant to the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
     SECTION 8.4. Notice of Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

     SECTION 8.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; or (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     SECTION 8.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action

-68-


 

taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required under this Agreement) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Loans, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such expenses to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required under this Agreement) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
     SECTION 8.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of the Borrower, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,

-69-


 

independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.
     SECTION 8.8. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may be removed for cause in the case of its gross negligence or willful misconduct as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by all Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and the Borrower upon 30 day’s prior notice. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders (which, in the case of the removal of the Administrative Agent as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be determined without regard to the Commitment of the Lender than acting as Administrative Agent) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the current Administrative Agent, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

     SECTION 8.9. Titled Agents. Each of the Arranger, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents, (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

     SECTION 9.2. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) change the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (other than a reduction of Commitments under Section 2.9), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, or permit the expiration date of any Letter of Credit to be after the date specified in Section 2.6(c)(ii), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than extensions of the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.5), (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.15(b), release any Guarantor without the consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder without, in addition, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be; provided, further, Schedules 3.2 and 4.1(f) may be amended by the Borrower without the consent of the Required Lenders solely to update the information contained therein.
     SECTION 9.3. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative

-72-


 

Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
     (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
     (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.
     (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

-73-


 

     (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
     SECTION 9.4. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that a Loan Party may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
     (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to an existing Lender, the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to an existing Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent and after giving effect to such partial assignment, the assigning Lender shall have retained a Commitment in an amount equal to at least $10,000,000, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and the Assignee shall pay the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $4,500, and (v) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Details Form. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising from and after the date of such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. If the consent of the

-74-


 

Borrower is required pursuant to this Section 9.4, and the Borrower does not respond to the Administrative Agent’s request for consent within five Business Days of such request, such consent shall be deemed given. Upon consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (b), the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall arrange to issue new Notes to the assigning Lender and Assignee as appropriate.
     (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, and the LC Exposure of, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
     (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Details Form (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
     (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Foreign Lender.

-75-


 

     (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Foreign Lender.
     (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.
     SECTION 9.5. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.3 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
     SECTION 9.6. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns in accordance with Section 9.4. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.7. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     SECTION 9.8. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, but in the case of a Lender or a Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
     SECTION 9.9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
     (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
     (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

-77-


 

     (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
     SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivatives transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, or (i) to the extent provided in Section 9.16. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to

-78-


 

maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
     SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
     SECTION 9.14. [Reserved]
     SECTION 9.15. Electronic Document Delivery.
     Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by electronic communication and delivery, including, the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which the Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website such as www.Edgar.com <http://www.Edgar.com> or a website sponsored or hosted by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) provided that (A) the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II and (B) a Lender has not notified the Administrative Agent or the Borrower that it cannot or does not want to receive electronic communications. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications.

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
     Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Revolving Loans, the reimbursement of the LC Disbursements and the payment of all interest, fees, charges, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent thereunder or in connection therewith; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder and (d) all other Obligations.
     Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may have against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.
     Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any applicable law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

C-2


 

     (a)(i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;
     (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;
     (c) any furnishing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;
     (d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;
     (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;
     (f) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;
     (g) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest in, or other Lien on, any collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the Obligations;
     (h) any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;
     (i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or

C-3


 

     (j) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment in full).
     Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3. and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Lenders shall elect.
     Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.
     Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
     Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
     Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders are prevented under applicable law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.
     Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a)

C-4


 

any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
     Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.
     Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if such Guarantor is required by applicable law or by any Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.
     Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such

C-5


 

Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.
     Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.
     Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding (as defined in Section 29(a)), such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of applicable law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The applicable laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations is deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
     Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the

C-6


 

Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.
     Section 16. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
     SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
     (a) EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN SUCH GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.
     (b) EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, HEREBY AGREES THAT THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL

C-7


 

ADDRESSED TO SUCH GUARANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. SHOULD A GUARANTOR FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, SUCH GUARANTOR SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
     (c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.
     Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of amounts and other matters set forth therein. The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.
     Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.
     Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty, subject to Section 9, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Guarantor until indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the other Obligations and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

C-8


 

     Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent and any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.
     Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.
     Section 23. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in writing signed by the Administrative Agent (acting with the requisite consent of the Lenders as provided in the Credit Agreement) and each Guarantor.
     Section 24. Payments. All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at such location for payment as Administrative Agent may notify such Guarantor, not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time, on the date one Business Day after demand therefor.
     Section 25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender at its address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.

C-9


 

     Section 26. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
     Section 27. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.
     Section 28. Limitation of Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement or financed thereby.
     Section 29. Definitions. (a) For the purposes of this Guaranty:
     “Proceeding” means any of the following: (i) a voluntary or involuntary case concerning any Guarantor shall be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended; (ii) a custodian (as defined in such Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy laws) is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the property of any Guarantor; (iii) any other proceeding under any applicable law, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition for adjustment of debts, whether now or hereafter in effect, is commenced relating to any Guarantor; (iv) any Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; (v) any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (vi) any Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vii) any Guarantor shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; (viii) any Guarantor shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; (ix) any Guarantor shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or (x) any corporate action shall be taken by any Guarantor for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.
