PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
The Borrower has informed the Agents that it intends to purchase up
to $55,000,000 principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes, which Senior
Unsecured Notes will be retired immediately following such purchase (each a
"SENIOR UNSECURED NOTE REDEMPTION" and, together the "SENIOR UNSECURED NOTE
REDEMPTIONS").
Pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower
has requested the implementation of an incremental facility, in up to two
Series, in an amount not to exceed the amount required to purchase and redeem
Senior Unsecured Notes in the Senior Unsecured Note Redemptions (with the amount
requested for each such redemption being referred to herein as a "FUNDING");
provided that the aggregate principal amount of such implemented incremental
facility shall not exceed $55,000,000 (the "2005 INCREMENTAL FACILITY"), and the
Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders are willing to effect such
implementation on and subject to the terms of this Consent and Amendment No. 1.
In addition, the Borrower, the Parent and the Required Lenders have
agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to consent to the exclusion of the Senior
Unsecured Note Redemptions from certain requirements of the covenants in the
Credit Agreement and the 2005 Incremental Facility from the maximum amount of
the Incremental Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments, and to make some small
adjustments as to real estate collateral, all on and subject to the terms of
this Consent and Amendment No. 1.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed, effective as of the dates set
forth in Section 4, as follows:
SECTION 1. Consent. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section
6.08(b)(vii)(B) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders hereby consent, and each of the 2005 Incremental Loan Lenders
(as defined below) hereby agrees and is deemed to consent, to (a) the Senior
Unsecured Note Redemptions, and (b) the exclusion from the calculation of
Cumulative Distributable Cash of up to $55,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
Senior Unsecured Notes plus premiums, fees and expenses related thereto paid by
the Borrower for redemptions of the Senior Unsecured Notes for each period
affected thereby; provided that if at the time of any Senior Unsecured Note
Redemption the principal amount of loans borrowed under the 2005 Incremental
Facility is less than the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes plus
related premiums, fees and expenses subject to such Senior Unsecured Note
Redemption, then the Borrower and its subsidiaries shall, at the time of such
Senior Unsecured Note Redemption, have, after giving pro forma effect to such
Senior Unsecured Note Redemption, an amount of unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents (which will include cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure the
Obligations) plus the amount of unused Revolving Credit Commitments
("LIQUIDITY") equal to or greater than $55,000,000 and, if the Borrower does not
have such amount of Liquidity, then an amount equal to the principal of Senior
Unsecured Notes plus related premiums, fees and expenses subject to such Senior
Unsecured Note Redemption minus the amount of loans borrowed under the 2005
1
Incremental Facility will be included in the calculation of Cumulative
Distributable Cash.
SECTION 2. Incremental Loan Amendment.
(a) The Borrower and each Incremental Loan Lender referred to on the

Borrower during the period from and after the Consent and Amendment No. 1
Effective Date (as defined below) to the 2005 Incremental Loan Commitment
Termination Date (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement (including Sections 4.02 and 4.03 thereof), in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding such Lender's Incremental Loan Commitment set
forth on the lender addendum to Consent and Amendment No. 1 (the "2005
INCREMENTAL LOAN COMMITMENTS"). To the extent the 2005 Incremental Loans are
made in an amount that is less than the 2005 Incremental Loan Commitments, each
2005 Incremental Loan Lender shall fund its pro rata percentage of such 2005
Incremental Loans based on the percentage that such 2005 Incremental Loan
Lender's 2005 Incremental Loan Commitments bears to the total 2005 Incremental
Loan Commitments. The 2005 Incremental Loans shall (i) have identical terms
with, (ii) be deemed and treated as, and (iii) have the same rights and

Incremental Loans shall mature on February 1, 2012 (the "2005 INCREMENTAL LOAN
MATURITY Date"), and (y) on the date of each Funding, the 2005 Incremental Loan
Commitments shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the amount of
such Funding and in any event will terminate no later than July 29, 2005 (the
"2005 INCREMENTAL LOAN COMMITMENT TERMINATION DATE").
(b) Each 2005 Incremental Loan Lender that is not already a party to
the Credit Agreement (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit

appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Consent and Amendment No. 1; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent or any other 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 the Credit Agreement;
(iii) represents and warrants that its name set forth on the signature page 1
hereto is its exact legal name; (iv) appoints and authorizes each Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion
under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms thereof,
together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto;
(v) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations that by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be
performed by it as a Lender; (vi) attaches any U.S. Internal Revenue Service
forms required under Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement, and (vii) upon the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 below and delivery of a
duly executed Consent and Amendment No. 1 to the Administrative Agent for
acceptance and recording, and such acceptance and recording by the
