EXHIBIT "A" TO FOURTH MODIFICATION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT "F"
FORM OF TERM NOTE
TERM NOTE
THIS SENTENCE MAY BE DELETED IN THE NOTES FOR THE BANKS WHICH DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIOR LOAN: [This Term Note amends and replaces that certain Term Note dated _________________ from the undersigned Borrower in favor of the Lender described below in the original principal sum of $________________(the "Existing Note")].
$_______________ Chattanooga, Tennessee
Dated as of ____________, 20__
On ______________, 20___, or any date to which it may be extended per the option described below (the "Maturity Date"), unless sooner accelerated as provided herein, or extended as provided herein, the undersigned, CBL & ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of _____________________________________, a _________________ having a place of business in __________________________________ (the "Lender"), the principal sum of __________________________ and NO/100 Dollars ($_______________), value received, together with interest from date advanced until paid, upon disbursed and unpaid principal balances, at the rate(s) hereinafter specified, said interest being payable monthly on the fifth day of each month commencing on _____________ 5, 20___, with the final installment of interest being due and payable concurrently on the same date that the principal balance is due hereunder.
The Maturity Date may be extended to ________5, 20__, if Borrower elects to exercise the option to extend, which option may only be exercised and effective if on June 5, 2021 (i) no Event of Default or Default, as defined in the loan documents evidencing or securing this Note (the "Loan Documents") exists, (ii) Borrower gives Lender written notice of the exercise of the option at least ninety (90) days prior to __________5, 20__; and (iii) Borrower pays to Agent for the benefit of all Lenders an extension fee equal to fifteen (15) basis points of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, beginning ________ 5, 20___, payments of all accrued interest shall continue to be due and payable on the fifth (5th) day of each consecutive month with the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder, being due and payable in full on ______ 5, 20__.
This Note is a “Term Note” referred to in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of February 22, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.6. thereof, and is subject to, and entitled to, all provisions and benefits thereof. Capitalized terms used herein and
E-1

not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
Subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, the outstanding principal amount hereof shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period (hereinafter defined) to and including the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the Applicable Margin to Term Loan [one and sixty five hundredths percent (1.65%)], plus (b) the LIBOR Rate. "LIBOR Rate" shall mean the independent index which is the London Interbank Offered Rate of interest for an interest period of one (1) month, which appears on Bloomberg page BBAM under the column heading “USD” on the day that is two (2) London Business Days preceding the end of each Interest Period (the “Reset Date”); however the LIBOR Rate used hereunder shall never be less than zero (0%). “London Business Day” shall mean any day on which commercial lenders in London, England are open for general business. If the LIBOR Rate, as defined above, is not available or is not published for any Reset Date, then LIBOR Rate shall mean the per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus one and ninety five hundredths percent (1.95%) per annum, which rate shall become effective at the beginning of the next Interest Period. As used herein "Interest Period" initially means from the date of this Note through the end of the current month and then each calendar month thereafter, with the LIBOR Rate adjusting on the first day of each month.
The annual interest rate for this Note is computed by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.
Borrower may not reborrow any sums paid under this Note.
In the event that the foregoing provisions should be construed by a court of competent jurisdiction not to constitute a valid, enforceable designation of a rate of interest or method of determining same, or if the LIBOR Rate or an acceptable substitute rate is no longer published or is unavailable for any reason, the indebtedness hereby evidenced shall bear interest at Administrative Agent’s Base Rate. "Base Rate" means the base commercial rate of interest established from time to time by Administrative Agent. The Base Rate is currently __________ and ___________ hundredths percent (____%) per annum.
This Note is secured by a Guaranty Agreement dated February 22, 2013 from CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., as such Guaranty Agreement may be amended from time to time.
All installments of interest, and the principal hereof, are payable for the account of the Lender at the office of Administrative Agent, 701 Market Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402, or at such other place as the holder may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment.
Any amounts not paid when due hereunder (whether by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest from the date due at the lesser of (a) Post-Default Rate or (b) the maximum effective variable contract rate which it is lawful for the holder hereof to charge.
E-2

For any payment which is not made within ten (10) days of the due date for such payment, the Borrower shall pay a late fee, including without limitation loans which are renewed more than ten (10) days after the due date even though the renewal may be dated as of the past-due payment date. The late fee shall be equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of the past-due payment.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then, in such event, the entire unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby together with all interest then accrued, shall, at the absolute option of the Lender, at once become due and payable, without demand or notice, the same being expressly waived.
If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, by suit or otherwise, or to protect the security for its payment, or to enforce its collection, or to represent the rights of the Lender in connection with any loan documentation executed in connection herewith, or to defend successfully against any claim, cause of action or suit brought by the Borrower, the Parent or any other Loan Party against the Lender, the Borrower shall pay on demand all costs of collection and litigation (including court costs), together with a reasonable attorney's fee.
The Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors hereof waive protest, demand, presentment, and notice of dishonor, and agree that this Note may be extended, in whole or in part, without limit as to the number of such extensions or the period or periods thereof, without notice to them and without affecting their liability hereon.
It is the intention of the Lender and the Borrower to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall the Lender ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum rate which the Lender may lawfully charge under applicable statutes and laws from time to time in effect; and in the event that the holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which, but for this provision, would be excessive interest, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness hereby evidenced; and if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and all lawful interest thereon, is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower, or other party lawfully entitled thereto. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest rate which Lender may lawfully charge under applicable law from time to time in effect, the Borrower and the Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize any non-principal payment as a reasonable loan charge, rather than as interest. Any provision hereof, or of any other agreement between the Lender and the Borrower, that operates to bind, obligate, or compel the Borrower to pay interest in excess of such maximum rate shall be construed to require the payment of the maximum rate only. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained herein or in any other agreement between the Lender and the Borrower that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.
No recourse shall be had, whether by levy or execution or otherwise, for the payment of any obligations due or for any claim under this Note against any of Borrower's principals, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, trustees, advisors or employees, except with respect to
E-3

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. under any Guaranty Agreement dated on or about the date hereof, as amended from time to time, and for any failure to abide by sections of the Loan Agreement applicable to it.
This Note shall be governed and construed according to the statutes and laws of the State of Tennessee from time to time in effect, except to the extent that Section 85 of Title 12 of the United States Code (or other applicable federal statue) may permit the charging of a higher rate of interest than applicable state law, in which event such applicable federal statute, as amended and supplemented from time to time shall govern and control the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged hereunder; it being intended that, as to the maximum rate of interest which may be charged, received, and collected hereunder, those applicable statutes and laws, whether state or federal, from time to time in effect, which permit the charging of a higher rate of interest, shall govern and control; provided, always, however, that in no event and under no circumstances shall the Borrower be liable for the payment of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by such applicable law, from time to time in effect.
CBL Holdings I, Inc., Borrower’s sole general partner, its successors and assigns shall not be personally liable for the payment of this Note except to the extent set forth in Section 13.21 of the Loan Agreement.
The principal amount of this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time without penalty or premium unless it is prepaid within twenty four (24) months from the date of this Note, in which event Borrower shall pay a prepayment penalty equal to fifty (50) basis points times the amount being prepaid.
THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE DELETED IN THE NOTES FOR THE BANKS WHICH DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIOR LOAN: This Note is an amendment to and replacement of the Existing Note.
