ARTICLE II
 
THE CREDIT
 
2.1           Generally.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders severally agree to make a single initial Advance through the Administrative Agent to Borrower.  Such single Advance shall be in an amount equal to the lowest of (i) the Aggregate Commitment, (ii) 60% of the Appraised Value or (iii) the Outstanding Loan Amount that would cause the Collateral Asset DSCR as of the date of such Advance to equal 1.45 to 1.00.
 
-14-

 
Each Lender shall fund its Percentage of such initial Advance and no Lender will be required to fund any amounts which would exceed such Lender’s Commitment.  This facility (“Facility”) is not a revolving credit facility and, therefore, notwithstanding repayment of all or any portion of such Advance, the Borrower shall have no right to reborrow Advances thereafter.  For convenience, portions of such single initial disbursement bearing different interest rates are referred to herein as “Advances” but such reference shall not be deemed in any way to create such a revolving credit facility.
 
2.2           Ratable Advances.  The initial Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to the ratio their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment and may be Floating Rate Advances, LIBOR Rate Advances or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.7.
 
2.3           Final Principal Payment.  Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Maturity Date.
 
2.4           Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay such fees as may be due to the Administrative Agent under that certain fee letter dated August 20, 2008 (the “Fees”) on the due dates provided for therein.
 
2.5           Extension of Maturity Date.  The Borrower shall have one (1) option to extend the Maturity Date for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Extension Option”), upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
 
(a)           As of the date that Borrower has delivered notice of its intent to exercise the Extension Option, and as of the then-current Maturity Date, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrower shall so certify in writing;
 
(b)           Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice of its intent to exercise the Extension Option not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Maturity Date;
 
(c)           Administrative Agent shall have received an updated Appraisal dated not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the initial Maturity Date evidencing a then-current Collateral Asset LTV of not more than 60%, or if the then-current Collateral Asset Value is 60% or greater, prior to the exercise of such Extension Option Borrower shall have made sufficient repayments of the Advances so that the Outstanding Loan Amount as of such date shall result in a Collateral Asset LTV of not more than 60%; and
 
(d)           Not later than the date the Extension Option is exercised, Administrative Agent is paid a fee for the ratable benefit of the then-current Lenders equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then-current  Outstanding Loan Amount.  
 
-15-

2.6           Optional Prepayments; Mandatory Prepayments.
 
(a)           The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay all or any portion of the Advances, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Advances or Floating Rate Advances, or a combination thereof, and if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; provided, however, that (i) any partial prepayment under this Subsection shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and; (ii) any LIBOR Rate Advance prepaid on any day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period must be accompanied by any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4.
 
(b)           If the Administrative Agent believes that there has been a material decrease in the value of the Collateral Asset since the date of the last Appraisal, the Administrative Agent may obtain an updated Appraisal from time to time during the term of the Facility provided that such updated Appraisals shall not be obtained more often than once in any twelve (12) month period.  Borrower shall pay the cost of each such updated Appraisal promptly after receipt of an invoice thereon.  If any such updated Appraisal indicates an Appraised Value that results in a Collateral Asset LTV in excess of 60%, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay a portion of the Outstanding Loan Amount sufficient to reduce the Collateral Asset LTV to 60%.  The failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment as required under this subsection shall constitute a Default under this Agreement.  Each prepayment required to be made under this subsection shall include any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4.  Such prepayment shall be applied first to Floating Rate Advances and then to LIBOR Rate Advances.
 
(c)           The Obligations shall be “non-recourse” to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall not be liable personally to pay any of the Obligations accruing hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, it being agreed that Lender and its successors and assigns shall look solely to the Collateral Asset and the rents, issues, profits and avails thereof and to any other security given to secure the obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including without limitation the personal liability of GPLP under the Guaranties, the Environmental Indemnity, the Account Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed by GPLP in its individual capacity.
 
2.7           Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods.  The Borrower shall select the Type of each Advance comprising the initial disbursement hereunder and, in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to such Advance from time to time.  Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall only be permitted to select the Floating Rate Advance when a LIBOR Rate Advance is not available. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto (i) not later than 1:00 p.m. Cleveland time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, and (ii) not later than noon Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Rate Advance:

No Interest Period may end after the Maturity Date and, unless the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than six (6) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time.
 
2.8           Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances.  Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Rate Advances.  Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance until the end of the then applicable LIBOR Interest Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Rate Advance shall be automatically renew as a LIBOR Rate Advance with a one month LIBOR Interest Period unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such LIBOR Interest Period, such LIBOR Rate Advance continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance for a different Interest Period.  Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time), at least three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

-18-

2.12           Notes; Telephonic Notices.  Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on written notices made by any Authorized Officer and Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent such written notice.  The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide notice of the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment, the Type of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if for a LIBOR Rate Advance.  Upon a Lender’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.
 
2.13           Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.  Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise.  Interest and Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.  Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Cleveland time) at the place of payment.  If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

(iii)           imposes any other condition the direct result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by a material amount.
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, 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 Lending Installation 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.
 
3.2           Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.  If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender  is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy).  “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender.  “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.
 
-21-

3.3           Availability of Types of Advances.  If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any LIBOR Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a LIBOR Rate Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination.  If the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Floating Rate.
 
3.4           Funding Indemnification.   If any payment of a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the ratable LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.  
 
3.5           Taxes.
 
(i)           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 3.5) 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.
 
-22-

(ii)           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”).
 
(iii)           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 3.5) 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 pursuant to Section 3.6.
 
(iv)           Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. 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.
 
-23-

(v)           For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), 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 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.
 
(vi)           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.
 
(vii)           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 3.5(vii) 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.
 
3.6           Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.3, 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 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5.  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 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.14        Defaulting Lenders.  At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be changed without its consent.  If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans” for the purposes of this section).  All amounts paid by the Borrower, the Parent Entities or the Guarantors and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid in full provided, however, in no event will any such distribution to the other Lenders give rise to any liability of the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender.  After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future payments by the Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 10.14.  This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

12.2           Participations.
 
12.2.1       Permitted Participants; Effect.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES


Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to be prepared in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E1527-94), a summary of which follows:
 
This ASTM practice is generally considered the industry standard for conducting a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA).  The purpose of this standard is to “define good commercial and customary practice in the United States of America for conducting an ESA of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products.”  The ASTM Phase I ESA is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability; that is, the practice that constitutes “all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practices” as defined in 42 USC 9601(35)(B).
 
The goal of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to identify “recognized environmental conditions.”  Recognized environmental conditions means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.  The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws.  The term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies.
 
The ASTM standard indicates that a Phase I ESA should consist of four main components:  1) Records Review; 2) Site Reconnaissance; 3) Interviews; and 4) Report.  The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property.  The site reconnaissance involves physical observation of the property’s exterior and interior, as well as an observation of adjoining properties.  Interviews with previous and current owners and occupants, and local government officials provides insight into the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property.  The final component of the ESA, the report, contains the findings of the ESA and conclusions regarding the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property.  It includes documentation to support the analysis, opinions, and conclusions found in the report.
 
While the use of this practice is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry for purposes of CERCLA’s innocent landowner defense, it is not intended that its use be limited to that purpose.  The ASTM standard is intended to be an approach to conducting an inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property, and environmental site assessments.

FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER’S AND GUARANTOR’S COUNSEL
 

 
__________________, 2008
 

KeyBank National Association
as Administrative Agent for the Lenders
127 Public Square, 8th Floor
Cleveland, Ohio  44114
 
 
Re:
$40,000,000 Term Loan to Glimcher Northtown Venture, LLC and GB Northtown, LLC (collectively , the “Borrower”)
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel for Borrower and Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (“Guarantor”) in connection with a $40,000,000 secured term loan to Borrower, (the “Loan”), which Loan is being made pursuant to that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of October __, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”) among Borrower, Guarantor, KeyBank National Association and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), and KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”).  All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
 
In connection with the Loan we have been furnished with originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of the operating agreements, partnership agreements and certificates of limited partnership, and Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the general partner of the Guarantor, acting on behalf of the Guarantor individually and in its capacity as the sole member of the Borrower and all such corporate and other records of the Borrower, Guarantor and such general partner, with such declarations and agreements, and certificates of officers and representatives of the Borrower and Guarantor, with such other documents, and we have made such other examinations and investigations as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
 
We have examined the originals of the following documents, each of which is addressed to the Lender or to which the Lender is a party (all of which are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”):
 
1.           The Loan Agreement;
 
2.           The Notes;
 
3.           The Guaranties;
 
4.           The Environmental Indemnity;
 
F-1

5.           The Mortgage; and
 
6.           The other Security Documents.
 
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
 
 
1.
Borrower is a limited liability company and the Guarantor is a limited partnership, both duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Borrower and Guarantor each have all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
 
2.
The general partner of Guarantor is a corporation or trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  The general partner of Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
 
3.
The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Borrower and Guarantor and does not (i) require any consent or approval of any partner or shareholder of such entity or any other person or entity excepting such consents or approvals as have actually been obtained; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, or regulation of the United States or the State of Ohio, or any provision of the limited liability company, partnership or corporate law presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower or Guarantor or Guarantor’s general partner, as applicable; (iii) violate any provision of the operating agreement of the Borrower or the partnership agreement of the Guarantor or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Guarantor’s general partner; (iv) violate any presently existing statutory or administrative provision or judicial decision applicable to the Borrower or the Guarantor or its general partner; or (v) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument affecting the Borrower or the Guarantor or Guarantor’s general partner.
 
 
4.
Each Loan Document to which it is a party (a) has been properly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Guarantor, (b) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor, and (c) is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that we express no opinion regarding the enforceability of the Mortgage under Minnesota law.
 
 
5.
To our knowledge, no presently existing authorization, exemption, consent, approval, license, or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, bureau, agency, or instrumentality will be necessary for the valid, binding, and enforceable execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents.
 
 
6.
To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against the Borrower or the Guarantor before any court or governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
 
F-2

 
7.
The Loan Documents (other than the Mortgage) are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, and the Loan, including the interest rate reserved in the applicable Note and all fees and charges paid or to be paid by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Loan pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents, is not in violation of the usury laws of the State of Ohio.
 
The opinions expressed herein are expressly made subject to and qualified by the following:
 
(a)  We have assumed that the Loan Documents are duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Agent, the Lenders and all other parties other than the Borrower and the Guarantor.
 
(b)  This opinion is based upon existing laws, ordinances and regulations in effect as of the date hereof.
 
(c)  This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable federal law and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

TITLE REQUIREMENTS
 
1.
Title Insurance Company Requirements. The maximum single risk (i.e., the amount insured under any one policy) by a title insurer may not exceed 25% of that insurer’s surplus and statutory reserves.  Reinsurance must be obtained by closing for any policy exceeding such amount.
 
2.
Loan Policy Forms. Standard 1992 American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) form of loan title insurance policy, or the 1970 (amended October 17, 1970) ALTA loan form policies must be used.
 
3.
Insurance Amount. The amount insured must equal at least the original principal amount of the Loan.
 
4.
Named Insured. The named insured under the Title Policy must be substantially the same as the following: “KeyBank National Association, and its respective successors and assigns, as administrative agent.”
 
5.
Creditors’ Rights. Any “creditors’ rights” exception or other exclusion from coverage for voidable transactions under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, or other debtor protection laws or equitable principles must be removed by either an endorsement or a written waiver.
 
6.
Arbitration. In the event that the form policy which is utilized includes a compulsory arbitration provision, the insurer must agree that such compulsory arbitration provisions do not apply to any claims by or on behalf of the insured. Please note that the 1987 and 1992 ALTA form loan policies include such provisions.
 
7.
Date of Policy. The effective date of the Title Policy must be as of the date and time of the closing.

In any event, the Title Policy must be endorsed to provide that the insured legal description is the same as that shown on the survey.
 
9.
Easements. Each Title Policy shall insure, as separate parcels: (a) all appurtenant easements and other estates benefiting the property, and (b) all other rights, title, and interests of the borrower in real property under reciprocal easement agreements, access agreements, operating agreements, and agreements containing covenants, conditions, and restrictions relating to the Collateral Asset.
 
10.
Exceptions to Coverage. With respect to the exceptions, the following applies:
 
 
a)
Each Title Policy shall afford the broadest coverage available in the state in which the Collateral Asset is located.
 
Schedule 6 - Page 1

 
b)
The “standard” exceptions (such as for parties in possession or other matters not shown on public records) must be deleted.
 
 
c)
The “standard” exception regarding tenants in possession under residential leases, should also be deleted. For commercial properties, a rent roll should be attached in lieu of the general exception.
 
 
d)
The standard survey exception to the Title Policy must be deleted. Instead, a survey reading reflecting the current survey should be incorporated.
 
 
e)
Any exception for taxes, assessments, or other lienable items must expressly insure that such taxes, assessments, or other items are not yet due and payable.
 
 
f)
Any lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement of record must be listed in the Title Policy, and the Title Policy must affirmatively insure that the improvements do not encroach upon the insured easements or insure against all loss or damage due to such encroachment
 
 
g)
The Title Policy may not contain any exception for any filed or unfiled mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.
 
 
h)
In the event that a comprehensive endorsement has been issued and any Schedule B exceptions continue to be excluded from the coverage provided through that endorsement, then a determination must be made whether such exceptions would be acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  In the event that it is determined that such exception is acceptable, a written explanation regarding the acceptability must be submitted as part of the delivery of the loan documents.
 
If Schedule B indicates the presence of any easements that are not located on the survey, the Title Policy must provide affirmative insurance against any loss resulting from the exercise by the holder of such easement of its right to use or maintain that easement. ALTA Form 103.1 or an equivalent endorsement is required for this purpose.
 
1.
Endorsements. With respect to endorsements, the following applies:
 
 
a)
Each Title Policy must include an acceptable environmental protection lien endorsement on ALTA Form 8.1. Please note that Form 8.1 may take exception for an entire statute which contains one or more specific sections under which environmental protection liens could take priority over the Mortgage; provided, however, that such specific sections under which the lien could arise must also be referenced.
 
 
b)
Each Title Policy must contain an endorsement which provides that the insured legal description is the same as shown on the survey.
 
 
c)
Each Title Policy must contain a comprehensive endorsement (ALTA Form 9) if a lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement is listed in Schedule B to the title insurance policy.
