and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable LIBOR Lending Office in connection with such LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.7           Late Payments.  If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, subject to all applicable notice and cure periods, it shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) at all times equal to (i) in the case of interest or principal, the sum of the rate otherwise applicable to the Loans, plus 3% and (ii) in the case of any other amount, the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 3%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.  Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and shall be payable upon demand.  In addition, Borrower shall pay, upon demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due.

3.9           Non Banking Days.  If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day, unless, in the case of a payment relating to a LIBOR Rate Loan, such next succeeding Banking Day is in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the next preceding Banking Day, but the extension of time shall not be reflected in computing interest and fees.

If any payment is received by the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on a Banking Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Banking Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of not receiving the amount of such payment by paying the Federal Funds Effective Rate on such payment for each day that payment is delayed.  All payments shall be made in Dollars.
 
(b)           Each payment or prepayment to a Lender shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Lender.
 
(c)           Each Lender shall keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and, subject to Section 17.6(g), such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing, absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.
 
(d)           All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes.  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) 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 3.10(d) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.
 
(e)           In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).

(f)           The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.10(d)) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor.
 
(g)           Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-US Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the Agreement Execution Date, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
 
(h)           For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to Section 3.10(g) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.10 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.
 
(i)           Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.

(j)           If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent).  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.10(j) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.
 
3.11           Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate LIBOR Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.10 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.5, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 or 3.10.  Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.  Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement.  The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.10 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
 
3.12           Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrower.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment.  If Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

ARTICLE 8
 
BUDGET AND CONTINGENCY FUND
 
8.1           Budget.  Disbursement of the Loan shall be governed by a budget for the Project (the “Budget”), in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, specifying the amount of cash equity to be invested in the Project and all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatever to be incurred by Borrower in connection with the Project prior to the Maturity Date as described more fully in Section 8.2 below.  The Budget shall include, in addition to the Budget Line Items described in Section 8.2 below, the Contingency Fund described in Section 8.3 below, and amounts satisfactory to Administrative Agent for soft costs and other reserves acceptable to Administrative Agent.  The initial Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit G and made a part hereof.  Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, all changes to the Budget shall in all respects be subject to the prior written approval of Administrative Agent. Changes in the scope of construction work or to any construction related contract must be documented with a change order on the AIA Form G 701 or equivalent form.
 
8.2           Budget Line Items.  The Budget shall include as line items (“Budget Line Items”), to the extent determined to be applicable by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for the completion of Construction, and all other costs, fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction of the Improvements, leasing commissions, tenant improvements and tenant allowances, operating deficits, real estate taxes, the acquisition of the Phase II Retail Unit and all other sums due in connection with Construction and operation of the Project, the Loan, and this Agreement.  Borrower agrees that all Loan proceeds shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds were disbursed.
 
Without limiting Borrower’s rights under Section 8.3 below, Borrower shall have the right to reallocate cost savings effected by final change order or other appropriate final documentation to other Budget Line Items subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
 
Lenders shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line Item.  Borrower shall pay as they become due all amounts set forth in the Budget with respect to costs to be paid for by Borrower.
 
8.3           Contingency Fund.  The Budget contains a line item titled “Hard Cost Contingency” designated for contingency (“Contingency Fund”) which shall represent an amount necessary to provide reasonable assurances to Lenders that additional funds are available to be used if additional costs and expenses are incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loan, or unanticipated events or problems occur.  Borrower may from time to time request that the Contingency Fund be reallocated to pay needed Project Costs of the Project, subject to Administrative Agent’s written approval in its reasonable discretion.
 
Borrower agrees that the decision with respect to utilizing portions of the Contingency Fund in order to keep the Loan “In Balance” shall, except as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section 8.3, be made by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and that the Administrative Agent may require Borrower to make a Deficiency Deposit even if funds remain in the Contingency Fund.  
 
-45-

8.4           Optional Method for Payment of Interest.  For Borrower’s benefit, the Budget includes a Budget Line Item for interest.  Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the mutual convenience of Lenders and Borrower, to disburse Loan proceeds to pay all the then accrued interest on the Notes, regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically requested a disbursement of such amount.  Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note.  The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate Lender to make disbursements of the Loan for interest payments (except upon Borrower’s qualifying for and requesting disbursement of that portion of the proceeds of the Loan allocated for such purposes in the Budget) nor prevent Borrower from paying accrued interest from its own funds.  Once the Project begins to generate NOI, Borrower may only borrow from the Loan interest in excess of the NOI so generated.
 
ARTICLE 9
 
SUFFICIENCY OF LOAN
 
9.1           Loan In Balance.  Anything in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion the Loan shall at all times be “In Balance” on a line-by-line and an aggregate basis. Each line item in the Budget shall be deemed to be “In Balance” only when the undisbursed portion of the then-current line item equals or exceeds the costs required to complete all elements of the construction of the Project intended to be covered by such line item. The Loan shall be deemed to be “In Balance” in the aggregate only when the total of (i) the undisbursed portion of the then-current Maximum Loan Amount less (ii) the then-current Contingency Fund plus (iii) the undisbursed portion of the Borrower’s Equity Requirement (collectively, the “Total Undisbursed Committed Funds”) equals or exceeds the aggregate of (a) the costs required to complete the Construction of the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the Budget, including, without limitation, all Tenant Work required to be performed by Borrower or tenant allowances to be paid for by Borrower under Leases or reasonably anticipated for unleased space in any Phase; (b) the amounts to be paid as retainages to persons who have supplied labor or materials to the Project; (c) the cost to acquire the Phase III Retail Unit; (d) the amount in excess of projected NOI required to pay interest on the Loan through the Maturity Date; and (e) all other hard and soft costs not yet paid for in connection with the Project.  Such costs and amounts described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) may be estimated and/or approved in writing by the Administrative Agent from time to time.  Borrower agrees that if for any reason, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, the amount of the Total Undisbursed Committed Funds shall at any time be or become insufficient for such purpose regardless of how such condition may be caused, Borrower will, within ten (10) days after written request by the Administrative Agent, deposit the deficiency with the Administrative Agent (“Deficiency Deposit”).  The Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted before any further disbursement of Loan proceeds shall be made.  Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Loan disbursements if and for as long as the Loan is not “In Balance”.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if, as a result of any subsequent events, such Deficiency Deposit is no longer needed in order for the Loan to be “In Balance”, then to the extent that any portion of such Deficiency Deposit has not otherwise been applied to Project Costs, such Deficiency Deposit funds held by Administrative Agent shall be returned to Borrower.

17.1           Appointment and Authorization.  Subject to Section 17.8, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the contractual representative on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto.  This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Loans and does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as representative of any Lender for any other purpose and, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.  In taking such action and exercising such powers, the Administrative Agent shall use the same degree of care as it normally employs with respect to similar types of loans in which the Administrative Agent is the sole lender.
 
17.2           Administrative Agent and Affiliates.  KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) has the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” includes KeyBank in its individual capacity.  KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower or any other member of the Glimcher Consolidated Group, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) need not account to any other Lender for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as the Administrative Agent hereunder, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, other than as required of any Lender hereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary or agency relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
 
17.3           Proportionate Interest in any Collateral.  The Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of collateral or interests therein received or held by the Administrative Agent.  Subject to the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with Section 16.2(f), each Lender shall have an interest in the Administrative Agent’s interest in such collateral or interests therein.
 
17.4           Lenders’ Credit Decisions.  Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.

17.5           Action by Administrative Agent.
 
(a)           Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default (other than the failure to make a payment of principal or interest when due) has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from Borrower stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have occurred and to be continuing.
 
(b)           The Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.
 
(c)           Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to comply with the instructions of those Lenders authorized to instruct the Administrative Agent from time to time under this Agreement and those instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to comply with such instructions if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent.
 
(d)           The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender a copy of any written notice the Administrative Agent may receive from the Ground Lessor, the General Contractor, the Phase III Developers or any other third party indicating that Borrower has failed to perform its obligations to such party or any other material written notice of events or circumstances that may constitute an Event of Default by Borrower hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified in clause (a) or has actual knowledge of the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders and shall comply with the instructions of those Lenders then authorized to instruct the Administrative Agent hereunder, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to comply with such instructions if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Lenders fail, for five (5) Banking Days after the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders until the Administrative Agent receives instructions to the contrary from such Lenders.
 
-66-

17.6           Liability of Administrative Agent.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:
 
(a)           May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the owner of that Lender’s interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by that Lender;
 
(b)           May consult with legal counsel (including in house legal counsel), accountants (including in house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for the Loan Parties or the Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts;
 
(c)           Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents, except to the extent such statement, warranty or representation is expressly made by the Administrative Agent;
 
(d)           Shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower or the Loan Parties of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any collateral or any Property, books or records of the Loan Parties;
 
(e)           Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith (other than undertakings of the Administrative Agent in any instruments executed by the Administrative Agent ) or any collateral;
 
(f)           Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument or writing believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties;
 
(g)           Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid or payable by Borrower or any other Loan Party thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, principal, interest, commitment fees, Advances and other amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) Borrower and/or the other Loan Parties shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred, including any adjustments to interest payments or accrued interest, if necessary; and
 
-67-

(h)           Have not made nor do they now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Loan Parties, the value of their respective assets or the collectability of the Loans.
 
17.7           Indemnification.  Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Percentage of the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any action taken or not taken by it as the Administrative Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Lender’s Percentage of any out of pocket cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that any Borrower or any other Loan Party is required by Section 18.2 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand.  Nothing in this Section 17.7 shall entitle the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower or any other Loan Party.  To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by Borrower or any other Loan Party, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect of such amount.
 
17.8           Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon reasonable notice to the Lenders and Borrower effective not earlier than thirty (30) days after such notice, upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent.  The Requisite Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent from its capacity as Administrative Agent in the event of the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, provided that any successor Administrative Agent which is not then also a Lender shall require approval by Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 17, and Sections 18.2, 18.10 and 18.21, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is ninety (90) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent.
 
-68-

17.9           No Obligations of Borrower.  Nothing contained in this Article 17 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement.
 
17.10        Additional Agents.  Neither the Documentation Agent nor the Syndication Agent as designated on the cover of this Agreement have any rights or obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of such designation or of any actions undertaken in such capacity, such parties having only those rights or obligations arising hereunder in their capacities as a Lender.
 
ARTICLE 18
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
18.1           Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.  The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.  The terms and conditions of Articles 6 and 7 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan.
 
18.2           Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  Borrower shall pay within five (5) Banking Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration and interpretation of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver thereof.  Following and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto.  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out of pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs of legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any member of the Glimcher Consolidated Group.  Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by any Lender’s overall net income imposed on such Lender (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of net income, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is “doing business” or (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which any Lender has failed, for any reason, to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 18.20, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 18.10 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Obligations.  Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 18.2 shall bear interest from the fifth Banking Day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate.
 
-69-

18.3           Nature of Lenders’ Obligations.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower or any other Loan Party.  A default by any Lender will not increase the Percentage of the Commitments attributable to any other Lender.  Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not obligated to do so.  The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (which will not include the payment of money) either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, to replace such a Lender in default.  A defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to vote on any matter presented to the Lenders shall be suspended during the pendency of such Lender’s default.
 
18.4           Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or more of the Loan Parties pursuant to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.
 
18.5           Notices.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or international courier, as applicable, or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this Section.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of (i) receipt or (ii) (A) with respect to notices between parties located in the United States, the fourth Banking Day after deposit in the United States mail with first class or airmail postage prepaid or (B) with respect to notices given by or to a party not located in the United States, the sixth Banking Day following the date of mailing; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered (provided that if any such communication is received after normal business hours or on a day that is not a Banking Day, it shall be deemed to have been received on the next Banking Day following receipt).  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower and Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given to them by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance of such Person on each notice purportedly given by Borrower, except to the extent of such Person’s gross negligence.
 
-70-

18.6           Execution of Loan Documents.  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party.  The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.
 
18.7           Binding Effect; Assignment.
 
(a)           This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Loan Parties are a party are and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that, except for Permitted Transfers, the Loan Parties may not assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void.  Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender).  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security in all or any portion of its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and (ii) any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or security issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of such holders, provided that no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank or other pledgee or assignee the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge or assignment and any such pledge shall be in conformance with the terms and conditions hereof.
 
-71-

(b)           From time to time following the Agreement Effective Date, each Lender may assign all or any portion of its Commitment; provided that (i) such assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall require approval by the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, a copy of which, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a share of the Commitment that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000, (iv) the assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is three (3) Banking Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Commitments Assignment and Acceptance unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.  Upon the effective date of such Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with a Percentage and Commitment amount as therein (and herein, if such assignee was already a Lender) set forth and, to the extent of the portion of the Commitment assigned, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement.  Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver to such assignee Lender Notes evidencing that assignee Lender’s Commitment, and to the assigning Lender, Notes evidencing the remaining balance of such Lender’s Commitment.
 
(c)           By executing and delivering a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii)  the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Loan Parties or the performance by the Loan Parties of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 15.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Commitments Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
 
-72-

(d)           The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Commitments Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Percentage applicable and Commitment amount held by each Lender, giving effect to each Commitments Assignment and Acceptance.  The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent.  After receipt of a completed Commitments Assignment and Acceptance executed by any Lender and an assignee and the Notes subject to such assignment, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or assignee (which fee shall be imposed only once with respect to simultaneous transfers on a single day to different Affiliates of such Lender), the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, upon the request of any party, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule 1.1 giving effect thereto.  Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Commitments listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment shall be effective, in each case unless and until a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above.  Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of such Commitment.
 
(e)           Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (including another Lender but excluding an Employee Plan) in a portion of its Commitment; provided, however, 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, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 3.7, 3.8, and 18.10 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred absent the participation, (iv) Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Commitment as it then exists and shall not afford such participant any rights or privileges under the Loan Documents except as provided in clause (iii) above.
 
-73-

18.8           Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders and subject to the provisions of Section 18.9) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations.  any and all rights to require administrative agent or any lender to exercise its rights or remedies with respect to any other collateral which secures the loan (if any), prior to exercising its right of setoff with respect to such deposits, credits, or other property of borrowers, are hereby, knowingly, voluntarily, and irrevocably waived.
 
18.9           Sharing of Setoffs.  Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest (unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest).  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall require any Lender to share payments it may receive from Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor on account of any loan or obligations due to such Lender other than the Obligations described herein. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 18.9 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.  Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased pursuant to this Section 18.9 may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

18.10       Indemnity by Borrower.  Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from the definition of “Taxes” in Section 3.9(d)) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, the other Loan Parties or any of their officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee.  If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided.  Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrower in writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest.  Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 18.10 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Borrower, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the foregoing).  Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 18.10 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.
 
18.11       Nonliability of the Lenders.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(a)           Any inspections of any Property of Borrower or any other Loan Party made by or through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrower and such other Loan Parties are not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);
 
-75-

(b)           By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;
 
(c)           The relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or any other Loan Party, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or any other Loan Party, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Loan Party; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other Loan Party, to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any other Loan Party, of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower or any other Loan Party; Borrower and such other Loan Parties shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and
 
(d)           The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in Section 18.10 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.
 
18.12       No Third Parties Benefited.  This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns.  Except as provided in Sections 18.7 and 18.10 no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.
 
18.13       Confidentiality.
 
(a)           Confidentiality.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lender Party”) hereby agrees for itself only that, except as specifically set forth herein, such Lender Party (i) shall not participate in or generate any press release or other release of information to the general public relating to the Closing of the Loan without the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence in accordance with such Lender Party’s customary procedures to prevent the misuse or disclosure of confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, (iii) shall use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes of underwriting the Loan or acquiring an interest therein, carrying out such Lender Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, in connection with the syndication of the Loan, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other internal examination, supervision or oversight of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably determined by such Lender Party, or as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Section 18.13 (collectively, “Permitted Purposes”), and (iv) shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party, except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or with prior written consent of Borrower.  Each Lender Party shall promptly notify Borrower in the event that it becomes aware of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information.
 
-76-

Each Lender Party shall not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to a specific portion of the Confidential Information if such Lender Party can demonstrate that such Confidential Information (i) was publicly available at the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party, (ii) became publicly available subsequent to the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party (except to the extent such public availability was the result of such Lender Party’s disclosure), (iii) was in or came into a Lender Party’s possession from a source not known to such Lender Party (after reasonable inquiry) to be in breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to Borrower in making such disclosure to such Lender Party, (iv) was in or comes into Lender Party’s possession free of any obligation of confidence owed to Borrower at the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party, or (v) was developed by the employees or agents of the Lender Party without the use of the Confidential Information.
 
(b)           Disclosures.  Any Lender Party or its legal counsel may disclose the Confidential Information (i) to Borrower, other Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective legal counsel or employees involved with the Loan, (ii) to its auditors in connection with bank audits or regulatory officials having jurisdiction over such Lender Party, (iii) to its legal counsel who need to know the Confidential Information for the purposes of representing or advising the Lender Parties, (iv) to its consultants, agents and advisors retained in good faith by such Lender Party with a need to know such information in connection with a Permitted Purpose or to otherwise advise or consult with such Lender Party, (v) as required by Law or legal process (subject to the terms below), or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender Party and any Loan Party are adverse parties (and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”), each Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act), (vi) to another potential Lender or participant in connection with an assignment or proposed assignment to that Person of all or part of that Lender Party’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Notes, and (vii) to its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates who need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of underwriting the Loan or becoming a party to this Agreement, the syndication of the Loan, the administration, interpretation, performance or exercise of rights under the Loan Documents, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other internal supervision, examination or oversight of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably determined by such Lender Party, provided that any Person to whom any of the Confidential Information is disclosed is informed by such Lender Party of the strictly confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and such Persons described in clauses (b)(iv) and (vi) shall agree in writing to be bound by confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as those contained herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent such Lender Party is requested or required by any Law or any order of any Governmental Agency or self regulatory body or other legal process to make any disclosure of or about any of the Confidential Information.  In such event (except with respect to banking regulators or auditors), such Lender Party shall, if permitted by Law, promptly notify Borrower in writing so that Borrower may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (provided that if a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder has not been obtained, or if prior notice is not possible, and a Lender Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information, such Lender Party may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which its counsel advises it that such Lender Party is compelled to disclose, and provided further that in any event, such Lender Party will not oppose action by Borrower to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.) Each Lender Party shall be liable (but only to the extent it is finally determined to have breached the provisions of this Section 18.13(b)) for any actions by such Lender Party (but not any other Person) which are not in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.13(b).
 
-77-

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include, and Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011 4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, and transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(c)           No Fiduciary Duty.  Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to Borrower.
 
(d)           Separate Action.  Borrower covenants and agrees not to, and hereby expressly waives any right to, raise as a defense, affirmative defense, setoff, recoupment or otherwise against any Lender Party any claim arising from or relating to an alleged breach of this Section 18.13 in any action, claim or proceeding relating to a breach of the Loan Documents by Borrower or other action to enforce or recover the Obligations, and covenant and agree that any claim against a Lender Party arising from or relating to an alleged breach of this Section 18.13 by a Lender Party shall only be asserted as an affirmative claim in a separate action against the applicable Lender Party.
 
-78-

18.14      Further Assurances.  Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.
 
18.15      Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
 
18.16      Governing Law.  Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Ohio without any regard to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Laws of the State of Ohio, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.
 
18.17      Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
 
18.18      Headings.  Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.
 
18.19      Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.
 
18.20      [Intentionally Omitted]
 
18.21      Removal of a Lender.  Borrower shall have the right to remove a Lender as a party to this Agreement if (a) such Lender is paid a material amount by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 3.5, (b) any of the events described in Section 16.1(n) occurs with respect to such Lender, or (c) such Lender becomes (and at the time of the proposed removal hereunder remains) a Defaulting Lender hereunder.  Upon notice from Borrower, such Lender shall execute and deliver a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance covering that Lender’s Percentage of the Commitments in favor of such Purchaser as Borrower may designate with the approval of the Administrative Agent, subject to payment in full by such assignee of all principal, interest and fees and any other amount owing to such Lender through the date of assignment.  The removal of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 18.21 shall not preclude Borrower from pursuing all remedies available to it against such Defaulting Lender for damages arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s breach hereof.
 
-79-

18.22      Waiver Of Right To Trial By Jury.  Each party to this agreement hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause of action arising under any loan document or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto or any of them with respect to any loan document, or the transactions related thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise; and each party hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury, and that any party to this agreement may file an original counterpart or a copy of this section with any court as written evidence of the consent of the signatories hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.
 
18.23      Purported Oral Amendments.  borrower expressly acknowledges that this agreement and the other loan documents may only be amended or modified, or the provisions hereof or thereof waived or supplemented, by an instrument in writing that complies with section 19.1.  borrower agrees that it will not rely on any course of dealing, course of performance, or oral or written statements by any representative of the administrative agent or any lender that does not comply with section 19.1 to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to this agreement or the other loan documents.
 
18.24      Sign and Publicity.  Borrower shall promptly erect a sign approved in advance by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to Borrower in a conspicuous location on the Project during Construction indicating that the financing for the Project is being provided by the Lenders, provided that such sign shall comply with all applicable laws and shall not identify any Lender without such Lender’s consent.
 
18.25      Replacement of Notes.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement relating solely to such Note on terms reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and the holder of such Note or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.
 
18.26      Defaulting Lenders.  In the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to any rights and remedies that may be available to Borrower or the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent (such other Lenders and the Administrative Agent being called “Non-Defaulting Lenders”) at Law or in equity:
 
(a)           The Defaulting Lender’s rights to participate in the administration of the Loan and the Loan Documents, including any right to vote upon, approve, disapprove, consent to or direct any action of the Administrative Agent (other than amendments to the Loan Documents directly affecting the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment), shall be suspended and such rights shall not be reinstated unless and until such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender (and all decisions, except the decision to remove the Administrative Agent, which are to be based on a vote of the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders shall be resolved based upon a decision or determination made by the required percentage of the Non-Defaulting Lenders); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall continue to have all rights provided for in this Loan Agreement, as the Administrative Agent only, without any rights to vote in its capacity as a Lender, with respect to the administration of the Loan unless it is removed and replaced as the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 17.8.
 
-80-

(b)           Any or all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall be entitled (but shall not be obligated) to:  (i) fund the aggregate amount that the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund or pay to the Administrative Agent (such amount being called the “Defaulted Amount”); and (ii) collect interest at the Default Rate on the Defaulted Amount (after crediting all interest actually paid by Borrower on the Defaulted Amount from time to time), either directly from the Defaulting Lender or from amounts otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender, for the period from the date on which the Defaulted Amount was funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders until the date on which payment is made.  If the Administrative Agent has funded the Defaulted Amount, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to collect interest at the Default Rate from the Defaulting Lender on the Defaulted Amount as set forth above, as if the Administrative Agent were a Non-Defaulting Lender that had elected to fund the Defaulted Amount.
 
(c)           In the event the Defaulted Amount is funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 18.26(b) above, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans, the Loan Documents and proceeds thereof shall be subordinated to any Defaulted Amount funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 18.26(b) above, plus all interest which may be due in accordance with Section 18.26(b) above (to be applied pari passu among the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) funding the Defaulted Amount), without necessity for executing any further documents; provided that such Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof shall no longer be so subordinated if the Defaulted Amount funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent (and all interest which has accrued pursuant to Section 18.26(b) above) shall be repaid in full.
 
(d)           If, following the payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to Section 18.26(c) above to the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) which have funded all or any portion of any Defaulted Amount, there remains any unfunded Defaulted Amount which has not been funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Defaulting Lender (“Unfunded Defaulted Amount”), then a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof equal to the amount of the Unfunded Defaulted Amount (together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the Defaulted Amount from time to time pursuant to the Loan Documents) shall be subordinated to the interests of  the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) unless and until such Unfunded Defaulted Amount is funded either by one or more Non -Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Defaulting Lender.
 
(e)           Subject to the provisions of Section 18.7 each Non-Defaulting Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire at par all or a proportionate share (based on the ratio of its Commitment to the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders that elect to acquire a share of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including without limitation its proportionate share in the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and all rights and interests of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
-81-

(f)           Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to waive, diminish, limit, prevent or estop the Administrative Agent, Borrower or any Lender from exercising or enforcing any rights or remedies which may be available at law or in equity as a result of or in connection with any default under this Agreement by a Lender (including the right to bring suit against the Defaulting Lender to recover the Defaulted Amount and interest thereon at the rate provided in this Section 18.26).

Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any such approval given by the Administrative Agent without any obligation to confirm that the Administrative Agent has obtained any such approval from the Requisite Lenders.
 
 
-83-

No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver or consent may be effective to require a Lender to fund more than its Commitment of a Request for an Advance, without the approval of any Lender affected thereby.  Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 19.1 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
