WITNESSETH:
1. BACKGROUND.
1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined
either in Exhibit A, or in specific sections of this Agreement, or in another
Loan Document, as referenced in Exhibit A.
1.2 Borrower. Borrower is a limited partnership organized under the laws
of the State of Delaware of which the sole general partner is Kramont Realty
Trust ("KRT").
1.3 Use of Loan Proceeds. Borrower has applied to Lenders for a revolving
loan of not to exceed ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
($125,000,000.00) ("Loan"), the proceeds of which are to be used to provide
working capital to the Borrower, KRT, and the Borrower Subsidiaries, to provide
funds for acquisitions, development, capital expenditures, and refinancings of
real estate properties by the Borrower, KRT, and the Borrower Subsidiaries, to
pay certain closing and transactional costs as approved by the Administrative
Agent, and for other lawful REIT purposes.
1.4 Guaranties. As an inducement to Lenders to make the Loan, KRT and each
Borrowing Base Property Owner (as defined herein) (severally and collectively
called "Guarantor" or "Guarantors") have agreed to furnish guaranties to the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders. The establishment of the
facility provided for herein and the making of the Loan is in the best interest
of each of the Guarantors as the proceeds of the Loan are being, or may be, used
to satisfy Debt of certain of the Guarantors and to make available funds to the
Guarantors for working capital purposes and for acquisitions, development,
capital expenditures, and refinancings of real estate properties. The Lenders
have advised the Borrower that the Lenders will not establish this facility
without the Guaranty from the Guarantors.
1.5 Loan. Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Agreement, and of the agreements and instruments referred to herein, each of the
Lenders agrees severally to make a loan to the Borrower up to a maximum
aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender's Commitment, and Borrower
agrees to accept and repay the Loan.
-1-
2. LOAN PROVISIONS.
2.1 General Loan Provisions.
2.1.1 Limit.
(i) Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders
hereby agree to lend to Borrower, and Borrower may borrow, reborrow and
repay from time to time sums (the "Loan Advances") between the date hereof
and the Maturity Date, (i) provided that (a) the aggregate of (1)
outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus (2) the L/C Exposure, shall
at no time exceed (a) the lesser of (1) the Established Loan Amount, (2)
the Total Commitments, or (3) the Availability (the lesser of (1), (2) or
(3), the "Maximum Loan Amount"), and (ii) provided, further, unless and
until the repayment in full of the Obligations or the demand by the
Administrative Agent for payment in full of the Obligations, the Borrower
shall not repay any Loan Advances such that the aggregate of (a)
outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus (b) the L/C Exposure, shall
be at any time less than the Minimum Loan Amount (such limitation being
the "Minimum Loan Amount Limitation").
(ii) The Borrower shall have a one time right to elect to increase
the Established Loan Amount to an amount not to exceed One-Hundred and
Twenty-Five Million ($125,000,000.00) Dollars; provided, however, after
such increase the Established Loan Amount shall not exceed the Total
Commitments (as such may be increased after the date hereof) as determined
by the Administrative Agent. Such right may be exercised by the Borrower
by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or before sixty (60) days
after the date hereof, which election shall designate the increased
Established Loan Amount and shall be accompanied by payment of the
required commitment fee in accordance with Section 2.4.1. The Borrower
shall execute, deliver and satisfy, and shall cause each Loan Party to
execute, deliver, and satisfy, any and all documentation and other
conditions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in order to
evidence and effectuate the increase in the Established Loan Amount. Any
such increase of the Established Loan Amount shall not be effective until
written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the
Lenders of such increased amount and the confirmation that such amount
does not exceed the Total Commitments. In connection with any increase in
the Established Loan Amount, no Lender shall be required to increase the
amount of such Lender's Commitment.
(iii) The Lenders and the Borrower agree that if none of the
Collateral Properties are located in the State of New York, the Minimum
Loan Amount and the Minimum Loan Amount Limitation shall not be
applicable, Further, if at any time any new Borrowing Base Property is
located in the State of New York, the Minimum Loan Amount Limitation shall
be deemed to be in effect for an adjusted Minimum Loan Amount as mutually
agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.
(iv) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are independent and
not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder
shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more
than its Commitment Percentage of any Loan.
-2-
2.1.2 Procedures and Limits. Until the Maturity Date, the Lenders shall,
subject to compliance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions of
this Agreement and there then occurring no Default or Event of Default, make
disbursements to Borrower of Loan Advances in installments in accordance with
the following:
(i) Written Requests. Loan Advances shall be made, at Borrower's
written request to Administrative Agent, not more frequently than four (4)
times a month, on the basis of written requests, made in accordance with
the method and procedures described in Section 2.1.3 below; and
Administrative Agent shall act upon such requests within five (5) Business
Days following the receipt of a written request from Borrower for a Loan
Advance, which action may include, without limitation, funding the
requested Loan Advance, or specifying the basis for not funding and, when
applicable, requesting additional information and supporting
documentation. The date on which any Loan Advance is funded (or Letter of
Credit is issued) is herein called a "Drawdown Date."
(ii) Requisitions, Certifications. Each request for a Loan Advance
shall be in writing and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, and
shall include an updated Availability Certificate in the form of Exhibit
B-1 attached hereto. Each such request shall specify (i) the amount of the
Loan Advance requested, (ii) the purpose of the Loan Advance requested,
(iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus L/C
Exposure, (iv) the then aggregate remaining amount which may be funded
under the Notes, and (v) calculations evidencing the Borrower's continued
compliance with the Financial Covenants. Each request for a Loan Advance
hereunder shall be for (a) a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00, and (b) an
amount not to exceed (x) the Maximum Loan Amount less (y) the aggregate of
the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus L/C Exposure, and
shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower
to accept the Loan Advance requested from respective Lenders on the
proposed Drawdown Date.
2.1.3 Funding Procedures. The following terms and provisions shall apply
to any Loan Advance:
(i) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.1, to the extent applicable, Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lenders will either (x) deposit into a Depository Account of the
Borrower or (y) disburse to, or for the benefit of, the Borrower or any
Borrower Subsidiary (as directed by the Borrower), the amount of the Loan
Advance requested by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.1 provided the
Administrative Agent has received from the Lenders immediately available
funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown
Date (to the extent immediately available funds are received later than
1:00 p.m (Eastern time), Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders,
will make the deposit into the Depository Account on the following
Business Day), provided that if Borrower's request for a Loan Advance so
specifies, instead of making such deposit, Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Lenders shall fund all or a portion of such Loan Advance received
by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders directly by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to a third party (in accordance with wiring
instruction specified in such request), in which event such funds shall be
wired by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown
Date.
-3-
(ii) Each request for a Loan Advance hereunder shall constitute a
representation and warranty by Borrower that the conditions set forth in
Section 5.1 hereof, as the case may be, have been satisfied on the date of
such request and will be satisfied on the proposed Drawdown Date (with
respect to Section 5.1.3, notwithstanding that the representations and
warranties of Borrower in Section 6 may be limited to being made as of the
date of this Agreement or as of any proposed Drawdown Date), unless
otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent prior to or at
the time of such request. Notwithstanding any such disclosure, the
disclosure by Borrower to Administrative Agent that one or more of the
conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof are not satisfied as of the
date of Borrower's request for a Loan Advance or will not be satisfied as
of the proposed Drawdown Date shall entitle Lender to refuse to make the
Loan Advance requested by Borrower.
(iii) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Administrative Agent may, by notice to Borrower, terminate the obligation
of the Lenders to fund Loan Advances in respect of the then unfunded
portion of the Notes, and, upon such notice being given, such obligation
of the Lenders to make any further Loan Advances in respect of the then
unfunded portion of the Notes shall terminate immediately and the Lenders
shall be relieved of all further obligations to make any Loan Advances to
Borrower.
2.2 Term of Loan.
2.2.1 The Loan shall be for a term (the "Term") commencing on the
date hereof and ending on December 20, 2005 (such date, the Loan
Termination Date (if applicable), or such earlier date as the Loan is
accelerated upon an Event of Default, the "Maturity Date").
2.2.2 The Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Loan prior
to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative
Agent with fifteen (15) days written notice of the Borrower's intention to
terminate the Loan (the date of such termination being the "Loan
Termination Date"). In the event that the Borrower provides such written
notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) such notice shall be irrevocable,
(ii) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further
obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right
to receive or request, any Loan Advances or any Letters of Credit
hereunder, and (iii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Loan
Termination Date to (x) pay in full all accrued interest, principal and
other charges due with respect to the Loan, including, without limitation,
any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment and (y) either (1)
provide Administrative Agent with cash collateral equal to the outstanding
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit from a source other than the
proceeds of the Loan or (2) return all outstanding Letters of Credit to
the Administrative Agent. If such cash collateral is posted, such funds
shall be held in an interest bearing account at the Administrative Agent,
shall be pledged to secure the Obligations, and shall be refunded to the
Borrower upon the return to the Administrative Agent, or the expiration,
of all of the Letters of Credit and the payment in full of the
Obligations.
2.3 Interest Rate and Payment Terms. The Loan shall be payable as to
interest and principal in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the Note. This Agreement also provides for interest at a Default Rate, Late
Charges and prepayment rights and fees. All payments for the account of Lenders
shall be applied to the respective accounts of the Lenders in accordance with
each Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Loan. Any and all interest rate
-4-
selection and conversion provisions in this Agreement are to be administered by
the Administrative Agent and to be allocated on a pro rata basis to the portion
of the balance due under Note held by each Lender based upon such Lender's
Commitment Percentage.
2.3.1 Borrower's Options. Principal amounts outstanding under the
Loan shall bear interest at the following rates, at Borrower's selection,
subject to the conditions and limitations provided for in this Agreement:
(i) Variable Rate or (ii) Effective LIBO Rate.
2.3.2 Selection To Be Made. Borrower shall select, and thereafter
may change the selection of, the applicable interest rate, from the
alternatives otherwise provided for in this Agreement, by giving
Administrative Agent a Notice of Rate Selection (in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.3.3, below): (i) prior to each Loan Advance,
(ii) prior to the end of each Interest Period applicable to an Effective
LIBO Rate Advance, or (iii) on any Business Day on which Borrower desires
to convert an outstanding Variable Rate Advance to an Effective LIBO Rate
Advance.
2.3.3 Notice. A "Notice of Rate Selection" shall be a written
notice, given by cable, tested telex, telecopier (with authorized
signature), or by telephone if immediately confirmed by such a written
notice, from an Authorized Representative of Borrower which: (i) is
irrevocable; (ii) is received by Administrative Agent not later than 10:00
a.m. (Eastern time): (a) if a Effective LIBO Rate is selected, at least
two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period to
which such selection is to apply, (b) if a Variable Rate is selected, on
the first day of the Interest Period to which it applies; and (iii) as to
each selected interest rate option, sets forth the aggregate principal
amount(s) to which such interest rate option(s) shall apply and the
Interest Period(s) applicable to each Effective LIBO Rate Advance.
2.3.4 If No Notice. If Borrower fails to select an interest rate
option in accordance with the foregoing prior to a Loan Advance, or prior
to the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an outstanding
Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or if an Effective LIBO Rate Advance is not
available, any new Loan Advance made shall be deemed to be a Variable Rate
Advance, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period all
outstanding principal amounts of the applicable Effective LIBO Rate
Advance shall be deemed converted to a Variable Rate Advance.
2.3.5 Telephonic Notice. Without any way limiting Borrower's
obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, Administrative
Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice
believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from Borrower prior
to receipt of written confirmation. In each case Borrower hereby waives
the right to dispute Administrative Agent's record of the terms of such
telephonic Notice of Rate Selection in the absence of manifest error.
2.3.6 Limits On Options, One Selection Per Month. Each Effective
LIBO Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00. At no
time shall there be outstanding a total of more than seven (7) Effective
LIBO Rate Advances combined at any time. If Borrower shall make more than
one (1) Effective LIBO Rate interest rate selection in any thirty (30) day
period, excluding conversions of outstanding advances made at the end of
an applicable Interest Period of any previously outstanding Effective LIBO
Rate Advance, Administrative Agent may impose and Borrower shall pay a
reasonable processing fee for each such additional selection.
2.3.7 Payment and Calculation of Interest. All interest shall be:
(a) payable in arrears commencing January 1, 2003 and on the same day of
each month thereafter until
-5-
the principal together with all interest and other charges payable with respect
to the Loan shall be fully paid; and (b) calculated on the basis of a 360 day
year and the actual number of days elapsed. Each change in the Prime Rate shall
simultaneously change the Variable Rate payable under this Agreement. Interest
at the Effective LIBO Rate shall be computed from and including the first day of
the applicable Interest Period to, but excluding, the last day thereof.
2.3.8 Mandatory Principal Payments.
(i) If, on any day, the aggregate of (a) the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan, plus (b) the L/C Exposure, exceeds the Maximum Loan
Amount, then the Borrower shall make a principal payment to the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in the amount of such
excess, including, without limitation, any payment required to comply with
the terms of Section 3.4, below, in immediately available funds within
thirty (30) days of demand from the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, if during such thirty (30) day period the Borrower delivers to
the Administrative Agent satisfactory Funding Evidence, such thirty (30)
day period shall be extended for such additional time as is determined by
the Administrative Agent to be required for Borrower, acting in due
diligence, to obtain such funds, not to exceed an additional sixty (60)
days.
(ii) If at any time or from time to time the Borrower shall suffer a
Major Event of Loss with respect to a Borrowing Base Property or any
Borrowing Base Property as to which an Event of Loss (other than a Major
Event of Loss) has occurred is not, or ceases to be, a Restoration
Property, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to
the Release Price, if any, of such Borrowing Base Property in immediately
available funds within five (5) Business Days of the later of (x) written
demand from the Administrative Agent or (y) the receipt of the applicable
Net Proceeds by the applicable Loan Party.
(iii) If at any time or from time to time the Borrower shall suffer
a Major Event of Loss with respect to a Collateral Property (which is not
a Borrowing Base Property) or any Collateral Property (which is not a
Borrowing Base Property) as to which an Event of Loss (other than a Major
Event of Loss) has occurred is not, or ceases to be, a Restoration
Property, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to
the Net Proceeds relating to such Major Event of Loss or Event of Loss in
immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days of the later of
(x) written demand from the Administrative Agent or (y) the receipt of the
applicable Net Proceeds by the applicable Loan Party.
(iv) In connection with the release of the Lien in favor of the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on any Borrowing Base
Property in accordance with Section 3.3, the Borrower shall prepay the
Loan in an amount equal to the Release Price, if any, of the said
Borrowing Base Property simultaneously with, or prior to, the release of
the said Lien.
(v) If the Borrower shall sell or otherwise transfer a Collateral
Property (which is not a Borrowing Base Property), then the Borrower shall
prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the net proceeds received from the
Borrower on account thereof in immediately available funds within five (5)
Business Days of the later of (x) written demand from the Administrative
Agent or (y) the receipt of the net proceeds of such sale or transfer by
the applicable
-6-
Loan Party (any payment due under subsections (i), (ii), (iii),(iv), or
(v), a "Mandatory Principal Payment").
(vi) During any period in which the Minimum Loan Amount Limitation
is in effect, if the application of any Mandatory Principal Payment to the
Obligations would cause the Loan Balance Test to not be met, at
Administrative Agent's option, the Borrower shall deposit a portion of the
Mandatory Principal Payment equal to the Excess Payment Amount in an
interest bearing account at the Administrative Agent which shall be
pledged to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to secure
the Obligations. Thereafter, if at any time the Loan Balance Test is met,
the Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply all or a portion of
the Excess Payment Amount in such account toward payment of the
Obligations provided that the Loan Balance Test at all times remains in
compliance. Further, thereafter, if at any time the Minimum Loan Amount
Limitation shall not be in effect, Administrative Agent shall have the
right to apply any amounts in such account toward payment of the
Obligations. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply any amounts in such
account toward payment of the Obligations.
(vii) The entire principal balance of the Loan shall be due and
payable in full on the Maturity Date.
2.3.9 Prepayment. The Loan or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full
or in part at any time upon five (5) days, prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent without premium or penalty with respect to Variable Rate
Advances and, with respect to Effective LIBO Rate Advances subject to the
Breakage Fee. Any Mandatory Principal Prepayment and any other partial
prepayment of principal shall first be applied to the principal due in the
reverse order of maturity, and no such partial prepayment shall relieve Borrower
of the obligation to pay each installment of principal when due. Any amounts
prepaid may be reborrowed subject to the terms hereof.
(i) Neither all nor any portion of the principal which bears
interest at the Effective LIBO Rate may or shall be prepaid prior to the
last day of the applicable interest Period, except upon five (5) days'
prior written notice to Administrative Agent and the payment to
Administrative Agent of any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.3.15.
(ii) Once written notice of intention to prepay is given, the Loan,
or the applicable portion thereof, shall become due and payable in full on
the date specified in the notice of prepayment and the failure to so
prepay the loan on such date, together with any amounts required pursuant
to Section 2.3.15, shall constitute an Event of Default.
2.3.10 Maturity. At Maturity all accrued interest, principal and other
charges due with respect to the Loan shall be due and payable in full and the
principal balance and such other charges, but not unpaid interest, shall
continue to bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate until so paid.
2.3.11 Method of Payment; Date of Credit. All payments of interest,
principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in
immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear
of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments:
(a) by direct charge to an account of
-7-
Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent (or the then holder of the Loan),
or (b) by wire transfer to Administrative Agent or (c) to such other bank or
address as the holder of the Loan may designate in a written notice to Borrower.
Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available
funds are received prior to 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time); payments received after
1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be credited to the Loan on the next Business Day.
Payments which are by check, which Administrative Agent may at its option accept
or reject, or which are not in the form of immediately available funds shall not
be credited to the Loan until such funds become immediately available to
Administrative Agent, and, with respect to payments by check, such credit shall
be provisional until the item is finally paid by the payor bank.
2.3.12 Xxxxxxxx. Administrative Agent may submit monthly xxxxxxxx
reflecting payments due; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur
between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for
a subsequent month. Neither the failure of Administrative Agent to submit a
billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse Borrower from the
obligation to make full payment of all Borrower's payment obligations when due.
2.3.13 Default Rate. Administrative Agent shall have the option of
imposing, and Borrower shall pay upon billing therefor, an interest rate which
is four percent (4.0%) per annum above the Effective LIBO Rate or Variable Rate
then in effect with respect to Loan Advances (as the case may be) ("Default
Rate"): (a) while any monetary Default exists and is continuing, during that
period between the due date and the date of payment; (b) following any Event of
Default, unless and until the Event of Default is waived by Administrative
Agent; and (c) after Maturity. Borrower's right to select pricing options shall
cease upon the occurrence of a monetary Default or following any Event of
Default.
2.3.14 Late Charges. Borrower shall pay, upon billing therefor, a late
charge (herein, the "Late Charge") equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of
any payment of principal, other than principal due at Maturity, interest, or
both, which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof. Late
charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default
Rate, (b) intended to compensate Administrative Agent for administrative and
processing costs incident to late payments, (c) are not interest, and (d) shall
not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.
2.3.15 Breakage Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent,
immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in
any of the Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of
Administrative Agent (in the absence of manifest error), compensate
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the loss, cost or expense which it may
reasonably incur as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any
circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or any
portion of an Effective LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of
the applicable Interest Period of an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, (ii) the
conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any
Effective LIBO Rate Advance to a Variable Rate Advance on a date other than the
last day of the applicable interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a
portion of a Loan which was to have borne interest at the Effective LIBO Rate
pursuant to the request of Borrower to be made under the Loan Agreement (except
as a result of a failure by any Lender to fulfill such Lender's obligations to
fund), or (iv) the failure of Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request
submitted by it for an Effective LIBO Rate Advance. Such amounts payable by
Borrower shall be equal to any administrative costs actually incurred plus any
amounts required to compensate for any loss, cost or expense
-8-
incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by Administrative Agent or any Lender to fund or maintain an
Effective LIBO Rate Advance (herein, collectively, the "Breakage Fee").
2.4 Loan Fees; Administrative Agent's Fees.
2.4.1 Loan Fees. Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent a
commitment fee in accordance with the written agreement between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such commitment fee to be for the
benefit of any Lender only to the extent agreed to by the Administrative
Agent and such Lender.
2.4.2 Administrative Agent's Fees. Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for its own account an annual administrative fee
payable quarterly in arrears in accordance with the written agreement
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such administrative fee
to not be for the benefit of any Lender. The first and last payments of
such administrative fee are to be prorated based upon the partial calendar
quarters to which they apply.
2.4.3 Line Fee. Borrower agrees to pay an unused line fee (the "Line
Fee") to Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders
calculated at the rate of the Line Percentage multiplied by the average
daily amount during each quarter or portion thereof from the date hereof
to the Maturity Date by which the Total Commitments exceeds the aggregate
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (ii) the L/C
Exposure. The Line Fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, for
the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, quarterly in arrears on the first day
of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or
portion thereof, with a final payment on the Maturity Date and the first
and last payments to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters
to which they apply.
2.4.4 Issuance Fees. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit,
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account an
issuance fee in the amount of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the
face amount of each Letter of Credit.
2.4.5 Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower agrees to pay a Letter of
Credit fee to Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders
equal to the effective Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans, as set forth
herein, per annum of the face amount of each Letter of Credit, payable
quarterly in arrears. The first and last payments of such Letter of Credit
fee are to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which
they apply.
2.5 Acceleration. The Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of
the Required Lenders or as provided for in Section 13.1.11(ii), shall,
accelerate the Loan, following an Event of Default which at the time of such
acceleration is continuing. Upon such an acceleration, all principal, accrued
interest, Breakage Fee, and costs and expenses shall be due and payable together
with interest on such principal at the Default Rate from the date of the Event
of Default until paid.
2.6 Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate Selection.
2.6.1 Increased Costs. If, due to any one or more of: (i) the
introduction of any applicable law or regulation or any change (other than
any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements
already referred to in the definition of Effective LIBO Rate) in the
interpretation or application by any authority charged with
-9-
the interpretation or application thereof of any law or regulation; or
(ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any governmental
central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the
force of law) (an event described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) an
"Increased Cost Event"), there shall be an increase in the cost to any
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Effective
LIBO Rate Advances, including without limitation changes which affect or
would affect the amount of capital or reserves required or expected to be
maintained by any Lender, with respect to all or any portion of the Loan,
or any corporation controlling any Lender, on account thereof, then
Borrower from time to time shall, upon written demand by Administrative
Agent, additional amounts sufficient to indemnify any Lender against the
increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of the increased cost and
the reason therefor submitted to Borrower by Administrative Agent, in the
absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall only be
responsible for increased costs described in this paragraph which are
incurred with respect to Effective LIBO Rate Advances that (a) are made
after written notice to Borrower by Administrative Agent of an Increased
Cost Event and (b) are outstanding as of the date of such notice to
Borrower by Administrative Agent of an Increased Cost Event, provided such
notice is given to Borrower within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of
the Increased Cost Event.
2.6.2 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the introduction of or change in or in the interpretation of
any law, treaty, statute, regulation or interpretation thereof shall make
it unlawful, or any central bank or government authority shall assert by
directive, guideline or otherwise, that it is unlawful, for any Lender to
make or maintain Effective LIBO Rate Advances or to continue to fund or
maintain Effective LIBO Rate Advances then, on written notice thereof and
demand by Administrative Agent to Borrower, (a) the obligation of
Administrative Agent to make Effective LIBO Rate Advances and to convert
or continue any Loan as Effective LIBO Rate Advances shall terminate and
(b) Borrower shall convert all principal outstanding under this Agreement
into Variable Rate Advances.
2.6.3 Additional LIBO Rate Conditions. The selection by Borrower of
a Effective LIBO Rate and the maintenance of the Effective LIBO Rate
Advance at such rate shall be subject to the following additional terms
and conditions:
A. Availability. If, before or after Borrower has selected to
take or maintain an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, but before the
Interest Period with respect thereto commences, the Administrative
Agent notifies Borrower that:
(a) dollar deposits in the amount and for the maturity
requested are not available to Lenders in the London interbank
market at the rate specified in the definition of LIBO Rate set
forth above, or
(b) reasonable means do not exist for Administrative Agent to
determine the Effective LIBO Rate for the amounts and maturity
requested, then the principal which would have been an Effective
LIBO Rate Advance shall be a Variable Rate Advance.
B. Payments Net of Taxes. All payments and prepayments of
principal and interest under this Agreement shall be made net of any
taxes and costs resulting from having principal outstanding at or
computed with reference,
-10-
to a Effective LIBO Rate. Without limiting the generality of the
preceding obligation, illustrations of such taxes and costs are
taxes, or the withholding of amounts for taxes, of any nature
whatsoever including income, excise, interest equalization taxes
(other than United States or state income taxes) as well as all
levies, imposts, duties or fees whether now in existence or as the
result of a change in or promulgation of any treaty, statute,
regulation, or interpretation thereof or any directive guideline or
otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not
having the force of law) or a change in the basis of, or the time of
payment of, such taxes and other amounts resulting therefrom.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders shall not seek
reimbursement for such taxes and costs that are attributable to a
payment or prepayment of principal or interest previously made,
except as to Effective LIBO Rate Advances that are made after
written notice to Borrower by Administrative Agent of the event
giving rise to any increase in such tax or cost.
2.6.4 Variable Rate Advances. Each Variable Rate Advance shall
continue as a Variable Rate Advance until Maturity of the Loan, unless
sooner converted, in whole or in part, to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance,
subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2.7 Letters of Credit.
2.7.1 Borrower has requested the Administrative Agent, and
Administrative Agent has agreed, until the Maturity Date and subject to
compliance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions of this
Agreement and there then occurring no Default or Event of Default, to
issue on behalf of the Lenders one or more letters of credit
(individually, a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, "Letters of Credit")
for the Borrower as the account party in an aggregate amount not to exceed
the lesser of (1) the difference between (x) the Maximum Loan Amount and
(y) the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan plus the L/C
Exposure or (2) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). The Borrower shall
give the Administrative Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit B-2
attached hereto(each a "Notice of Letter of Credit") that it requires the
issuance of a Letter of Credit not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on
the fourth (4th) Business Day preceding the requested date for issuance
thereof under this Agreement (or such later date as the Administrative
Agent may in its sole discretion agree to). Such notice shall be
irrevocable unless and until such request is denied by the Administrative
Agent and shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Letters
of Credit, (ii) the individual amount of each requested Letter of Credit
and the number of Letters of Credit to be issued, (iii) the date of such
issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the name and address of the
beneficiary and if other than the Borrower, the name and address of the
Borrower Subsidiary for whose account the Letter of Credit will be issued,
(v) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (vi) the purpose and
circumstances for which such Letter of Credit is being issued, (vii) the
terms upon which each such Letter of Credit may be drawn down (which terms
shall not leave any discretion to Administrative Agent), (viii) that no
Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing both before and
after giving effect to such issuance, (ix) that no material adverse change
in the financial condition of Borrower has occurred, (x) that the Borrower
and all Loan Parties are in compliance in all material respects with all
covenants set forth herein after giving effect to such issuance, (xi) that
all representations and warranties made under the Loan Documents (other
than representations and warranties which speak as of a specific date or
as to which the Administrative Agent has previously been advised in
writing by the Borrower are no longer true and correct) are true, correct
and complete in all material respects as if made as of the date of such
issuance, and (xii) the L/C Exposure. No later
-11-
than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time), on the date that is four (4) Business Days
prior to the date of issuance, the Borrower shall specify a precise
description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificate to
be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, which if
presented by such beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter
of Credit would require the Administrative Agent to make a payment under
the Letter of Credit; provided, that Administrative Agent may, in its
reasonable judgment, require changes in any such documents and
certificates only in conformity with changes in customary and commercially
reasonable practice or law. In determining whether to pay on such Letter
of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall be responsible only to determine
that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under the
Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face
with the requirements of that Letter of Credit.
2.7.2 In the event that prior to the Maturity Date, the beneficiary
of any Letter of Credit draws all or a portion of the amount thereof, then
the portion so drawn shall be treated as a Loan Advance under the Notes,
and shall bear interest at the Variable Rate (as defined in the Notes) and
shall be treated as a Variable Rate Advance under, and shall otherwise be
payable on the same terms and conditions hereof (provided that the portion
so drawn shall not be deemed to be a new Loan Advance for purposes of
calculating the Availability, to the extent the issuance of the Letter of
Credit shall have so reduced such Availability in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement). The foregoing is not intended to prohibit
Borrower from converting such Variable Rate Advance to an Effective LIBO
Advance in accordance with the provisions of the Notes.
2.7.3 Each Letter of Credit shall be issued using the standard form
of letter of credit then being used by Administrative Agent (which
standard form shall, at Borrower's request, be provided by Administrative
Agent to Borrower prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit), and
shall have an expiration date no later than thirty (30) days prior to the
Maturity Date.
2.7.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or the Notes, in no event shall Borrower have the right to pay
off the entire indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and, in connection
therewith, advise Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders that it
unconditionally waives its right to obtain further applicable Loan
Advances and Letters of Credit under the Loan (i.e., Borrower desires to
cancel the applicable Notes) unless Borrower either (i) provides
Administrative Agent with cash collateral equal to the outstanding amount
of the Letters of Credit from a source other than the proceeds of the Loan
or (ii) returns all outstanding Letters of Credit to the Administrative
Agent. If such cash collateral is posted, such funds shall be held in an
interest bearing account at the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders, shall be pledged to secure the Obligations, and shall be
refunded to the Borrower upon the return to the Administrative Agent, or
the expiration, of all of the Letters of Credit and the payment in full of
the Obligations.
2.7.5 Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, a participation
therein, in an amount equal to each Lender's Commitment Percentage, shall
automatically be deemed granted by the Administrative Agent to each Lender
on the date of such issuance and each Lender shall automatically be
obligated, to reimburse the Administrative Agent to the extent of its
Commitment Percentage for all obligations incurred by the Administrative
Agent to third parties in respect of such Letters of Credit, if not
otherwise deemed to be a Loan Advance hereunder.
-12-
2.7.6 The Administrative Agent may accept or pay any draft presented
to it, regardless of when drawn and whether or not negotiated, if such
draft, the other required documents and any transmittal advice are
presented to the Administrative Agent and dated on or before the
expiration date of the Letter of Credit under which such draft is drawn.
The Administrative Agent may honor as complying with the terms of the
Letter of Credit and with this Agreement any drafts or other documents
otherwise in order signed or issued by an administrator, executor,
conservator, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other legal representative
of the party authorized under such Letter of Credit to draw or issue such
other drafts or other documents.
2.7.7 The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993
Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, and any
subsequent revisions thereof approved by a Congress of the International
Chamber of Commerce and adhered to by the Administrative Agent (the
"Uniform Customs and Practice"), shall be binding on the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent except to the extent otherwise provided herein, in
any Letter of Credit or in any other Loan Document. Anything in the
Uniform Customs and Practice to the contrary notwithstanding:
(i) None of the Loan Parties nor any beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent.
(ii) With respect to any Letter of Credit, neither the

cured or remedied by the removal of such Individual Property from being a
Borrowing Base Property.
3.3.4 No Event of Default shall exist under this Agreement or the

and correct prior to a request for a Loan Advance which was nonetheless
made).
3.3.6 The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent
for all appraisal fees, title insurance and recording costs, reasonable
legal fees and expenses and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by Administrative Agent in connection with the release.
-17-
Any failure of any removal and release requested by the Borrower to meet
all of the Release Conditions shall be deemed a rejection of the proposed
Collateral Release Request and, subject to the other terms and conditions hereof
as to whether any Individual Property is a Borrowing Base Property, such
Borrowing Base Property shall remain a Borrowing Base Property hereunder and
shall be included within the Collateral.
3.4 Removal of Individual Property as a Borrowing Base Property -
Administrative Agent.
3.4.1 An Individual Property shall no longer be deemed to be a

3.4.4 With respect to any Individual Property determined by the
Administrative Agent to no longer be deemed a Borrowing Base Property in
accordance with this Section 3.4, if the Release Conditions are satisfied
with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall release such
Individual Property from the Lien held by the Administrative Agent,
release the subject Borrowing Base Property Owner from the Guaranty,
terminate the assignments made by such Borrowing Base Property Owner
pursuant to Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, and release its Lien upon the
ownership interest in such Borrowing Base Property Owner and its manager
or general partner which was pledged by the Borrower as Collateral
pursuant to Section 3.1.6, and thereafter such Borrowing Base Property
Owner shall no longer be a Loan Party for the purposes of this Agreement
(provided, however, any such release by the Administrative Agent shall not
be deemed to terminate or release such Borrowing Base Property Owner from
any obligation or liability under any Loan Document which specifically by
its terms survives the said release or the payment in full of the
Obligations). However, if the said Release Conditions are not satisfied
with respect to such Individual Property, although such Individual
Property shall no longer be a Borrowing Base Property, the Individual
Property shall not be released from the Lien held by the Administrative
Agent (shall continue to be a Collateral Property) and there shall be no
release of the Collateral
-18-
relating to such Individual Property or the subject Borrowing Base
Property Owner, until such time at the Release Conditions are satisfied

remedied by such Individual Property becoming a Borrowing Base Property.

request for a Loan Advance which was nonetheless made).
3.5.6 The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent
for all appraisal fees, title insurance and recording costs, reasonable
legal fees and expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by
Administrative Agent in connection with the additional Borrowing Base
Property.
3.5.7 The Borrower, the subject Borrowing Base Property Owner, and
the subject Individual Property shall have satisfied all applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Article 5 prior to the inclusion of the

Property for that Additional Collateral Request and such proposed Borrowing Base
Property shall not be included in the Borrowing Base for any purpose unless and
until it is accepted by Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and all of
the foregoing conditions are satisfied or waived by the Administrative Agent and

provisions thereof (including, without limitation, the granting of Liens

release any security and other collateral interests as provided for herein and
under the other Loan Documents and shall execute and deliver such documents and
termination statements as Borrower or any other Loan Party reasonably requests

direction of the
-46-
Required Lenders or as provided for in Section 13.1.11(ii) shall, declare

11.3 Power of Attorney. For the purpose of exercising the rights granted
by this Article 11, as well as any and all other rights and remedies of
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (or any agent designated by
Administrative Agent) its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, upon and following any Event of Default which is continuing, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do and perform any acts
in the name and on behalf of Borrower. In connection with the foregoing power of
attorney, the Borrower hereby grants unto the Administrative Agent (acting
through any of its officers) full power to do any and all things necessary or
appropriate in connection with the exercise of such powers as fully and
effectually as the Borrower might or could do, hereby ratifying all that said
attorney shall do or cause to be done by virtue of this Agreement. The foregoing
power of attorney shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered
by the Borrower and shall survive the same. All powers conferred upon the
Administrative Agent by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated by a written instrument executed
by a duly authorized officer of the Administrative Agent.
12. SECURITY INTEREST AND SET-OFF.
12.1 Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants (and shall cause each other
Loan Party to grant) to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, a
continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all of
the Obligations, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and
property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or any entity under the control of
FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its successors and assigns, or in transit
to any of them.
12.2 Set-Off. If any payment is not made when due under any of the Loan
Documents, after giving regard to applicable grace periods, if any, or if any
Event of Default or other event which would entitle Administrative Agent or any
of the Lenders to accelerate the Loan occurs, any such deposits, balances or
other sums credited by or due from Administrative Agent, any affiliate of
Administrative Agent or FleetBoston Financial Corporation or any of the Lenders,
or from any such affiliate of Administrative Agent or FleetBoston Financial
Corporation or any of the Lenders, to Borrower may to the fullest extent not
prohibited by applicable law at any time or
-47-
from time to time, without regard to the existence, sufficiency or adequacy of
any other collateral, and without notice or compliance with any other condition
precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise, all of
which are hereby waived, be set off, appropriated and applied by Administrative
Agent against any or all of Borrower's Obligations irrespective of whether
demand shall have been made and although such obligations may be unmatured, in
such manner as Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may
determine. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off,
appropriation or application, Administrative Agent agrees to notify Borrower
thereof, provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such set off or appropriation or application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING
ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF
THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY
WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount
to be set off is to be applied to indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender,
other than the Obligations evidenced by the Note due to such Lender, such amount
shall be applied ratably to such other indebtedness and to the Obligations
evidenced by the Note due to such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive
from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of
setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the
Note due to such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity
or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or
similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of
the Note due to such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the
payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to Obligations under the
Note due to all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and
arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way
of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as
shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Note its proportionate
payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of
such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition
and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest.
12.3 Right to Freeze. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
shall also have the right, at its option, upon the occurrence of any event which
would entitle the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders to set off or
debit as set forth in Section 12.2, to freeze, block or segregate any such
deposits, balances and other sums so that Borrower may not access, control or
draw upon the same.
12.4 Additional Rights. The rights of Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and each affiliate of Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders under this
Article 12 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, other rights and
remedies, including other rights of set off, which Administrative Agent or any
of the Lenders may have.
13. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS

irrevocably designates and appoints Fleet National Bank as Administrative
Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Loan

not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth
herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall it have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Loan Agreement
or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Except as provided
for in Section 13.3, the provisions of this Article 13 are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower
shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions hereof; provided, however, the Borrower may rely on any
consent, waiver, approval, certificate or instrument delivered by the
Administrative Agent as evidencing that the Administrative Agent has
received, to the extent required hereunder, the prior approval of the
Required Lenders or the Lenders.
13.1.2 Administration of Loan by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be responsible for administering the Loan on a
day-to-day basis. In the exercise of such administrative duties, the
Administrative Agent shall use the same diligence and standard of care
that is customarily used by the Administrative Agent with respect to
similar loans held by the Administrative Agent solely for its own account.
Each Lender delegates to the Administrative Agent the full right and
authority on its behalf to take the following specific actions in connection
with its administration of the Loan:
(i) to fund the Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents, but only to the extent of immediately available funds provided
to the Administrative Agent by the respective Lenders for such purpose;
(ii) to receive all payments of principal, interest, fees and other
charges paid by, or on behalf of, the Borrower and, except for fees to
which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to the Loan Documents
or otherwise, to distribute all such funds to the respective Lenders as
provided for hereunder;
(iii) to keep and maintain complete and accurate files and records
of all material matters pertaining to the Loan, and make such files and
records available for inspection and copying by each Lender and its
respective employees and agents during normal business hours upon
reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent; and
(iv) to do or omit doing all such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary or incident to the implementation, administration and servicing
of the Loan and the rights and duties delegated hereinabove.
13.1.3 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute
any of its duties under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document by
or through its agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to the
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and
duties hereunder or under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
13.1.4 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them under or in connection with this Loan Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, except for its or their gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers,
directors,
-49-
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any
recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any
of its officers or agents contained in this Loan Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or in any certificate or other document delivered in
connection therewith; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements contained in, or the conditions of, this Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) the state or condition of any
properties of the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder constituting
Collateral for the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, or any
information contained in the books or records of the Borrower; (iv) the
validity, enforceability, collectibility, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other certificate,
document or instrument furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the
validity, priority or perfection of any lien securing or purporting to
secure the Obligations or the value or sufficiency of any of the
Collateral.
13.1.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements
of legal counsel (including, without, limitation, counsel to the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except as otherwise specifically provided for herein,
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required
Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of the taking or failing to take any
such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with any written
request of the Required Lenders, and each such request of the Required
Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act by the Administrative
Agent pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required in
any event to act, or to refrain from acting, in any manner which is
contrary to the Loan Documents or to applicable law.
13.1.6 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of
the same or has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Loan Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a notice of default (a "Notice of Default").
In the event that the Administrative Agent obtains such actual knowledge
or receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt
written notice thereof to each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action,
or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the
Lenders.
13.1.7 Lenders' Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender, and based on the financial statements prepared by the
Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the
business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other
-50-
condition of the Borrower and has made its own decision to enter into this
Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
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 determining whether or not conditions precedent to Closing
any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any
action under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
13.1.8 Administrative Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The
Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably
in proportion to their respective Commitments, for (i) any amounts not
reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled
to reimbursement by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, amendment, waiver and/or enforcement
of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever
which may imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection
therewith or any transaction contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of
any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Lender shall be
liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. If any
indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in
the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and
cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such
additional indemnity is furnished.
13.1.9 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect
to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and the Note
issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the
term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The
Administrative Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with
the Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
13.1.10 Successor Administrative Agent. Only if the Administrative
Agent, in its individual capacity as a Lender, retains an amount of its
Commitment of less than $20,000,000.00, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Lenders and Borrower. The Required Lenders, for good cause, may remove
Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders.
Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the
right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor
Administrative Agent shall, if such appointment is prior to the occurrence
of an Event of Default which is continuing, be subject to the approval of
the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30)
days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving notice of
resignation or the Required Lenders'
-51-
giving notice of removal, as the case may be, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the
Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If in such instance the
retiring Administrative Agent appoints as the successor Administrative
Agent a Lender, such Lender shall accept such appointment. Each such
successor Administrative Agent shall be a Lender or a financial
institution which meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of
this Article 13 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the
Administrative Agent hereunder.
13.1.11 Duties in the Case of Enforcement.
(i) In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and
shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the
Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent may or
shall, at either the request of the Required Lenders or as provided
for in Section 13.1.11(ii), proceed to enforce the provisions of
this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents respecting the
foreclosure, the sale, or other disposition of all or any part of
the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable
rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain
from so acting if similarly requested by the Required Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders,
and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The
Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as
to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other
disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the
Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative
Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of
all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction,
provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such
direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably
believes the Administrative Agent's compliance with such direction
to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable
jurisdiction.
(ii) In the event that the Administrative Agent provides to
the Lenders the written notice of the occurrence of an Event of
Default under Section 13.1.6 and within sixty (60) days thereafter,
the Required Lenders have not provided to the Administrative Agent
direction as a course of action to be undertaken by the
Administrative Agent with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent,
subject to receiving any direction thereafter from the Required
Lenders, shall accelerate the Loan and proceed to enforce the
provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents
respecting the foreclosure, the sale, or other disposition of all or
any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or
equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, with
the same diligence and standard of care that is customarily used by
the Administrative Agent with respect to similar loans held by the
Administrative Agent solely for its own account. The Lenders agree
to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all
costs and
-52-
liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection,
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to
the extent that they arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent.
(iii) The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion but
without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Required
Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to
preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any
Collateral securing the Obligations, including but not limited to
petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver
or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral. Each of the
Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may
separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the
Loan Documents against the Borrower, any of the Loan Parties or the
Collateral, including without limitation the Note, other than
through the Administrative Agent.
13.2 Respecting Loans and Payments.
13.2.1 Procedures for Loans. Administrative Agent shall give written
notice to each Lender of each request for a Loan Advance, or conversion of
an existing Loan Advance from a Variable Rate Advance to an Effective LIBO
Rate Advance, by facsimile transmission, hand delivery or overnight
courier, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (i) three (3) Business
Days prior to any Effective LIBO Rate Advance or conversion to an
Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to any
Variable Rate Advance. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a written
summary of the request for a Loan Advance and shall specify (a) the date
of the requested Loan Advance, (b) the aggregate amount of the requested
Loan Advance, (c) each Lender's pro rata share of the requested Loan
Advance, and (d) the applicable interest rate selected by Borrower with
respect to such Loan Advance, or any portion thereof, together with the
applicable Interest Period, if any, selected, or deemed selected, by
Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date
set forth in any such request for a Loan Advance, upon Administrative
Agent's determination that the applicable conditions to making the
requested Loan Advance have been fulfilled or will be fulfilled prior to
the said Loan Advance, make available to Administrative Agent, at an
account to be designated by Administrative Agent at Fleet National Bank in
Boston, Massachusetts, in same day funds, each Lender's ratable portion of
the requested Loan Advance. After Administrative Agent's receipt of such
funds and upon Administrative Agent's determination that the applicable
conditions to making the requested Loan Advance have been fulfilled,
Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower as
provided for in this Loan Agreement. Within a reasonable period of time
following the making of each Loan Advance, but in no event later than ten
(10) Business Days following such Loan Advance, Administrative Agent shall
deliver to each Lender a copy of Borrower's request for Loan Advance.
Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of written request from any
Lender, Administrative Agent shall deliver to the requesting Lender the
accompanying certifications and such other instruments, documents,
certifications and approvals delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to
Administrative Agent in support of the requested Loan Advance.
13.2.2 Nature of Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of the
Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Failure of any Lender to
fulfill that its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other
Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage
of the Loan, nor shall such failure release or diminish the
-53-
obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided
herein.
13.2.3 Payments to Administrative Agent. All payments of principal
of and interest on the Loan or the Note shall be made to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any other obligor or guarantor for
the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in
the Note and this Loan Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each
Lender, on the same Business Day upon which each such payment is made,
such Lender's proportionate share of each such payment in immediately
available funds excluding Liquidation Proceeds which shall be distributed
in accordance with Section 13.2.4 below. The Administrative Agent will
disburse such payments to the Lenders on the date of receipt thereof if
received prior to 10:00 a.m. on such date and, if not, on the next
Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall upon each distribution
promptly notify Borrower of such distribution and each Lender of the
amounts distributed to it applicable to principal of, and interest on, the
proportionate share held by the applicable Lender. Each payment to the
Administrative Agent under the first sentence of this Section shall
constitute a payment by the Borrower to each Lender in the amount of such
Lender's proportionate share of such payment, and any such payment to the
Administrative Agent shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose
after the date of such payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
without regard to whether or when the Administrative Agent makes
distribution thereof as provided above. If any payment received by the
Administrative Agent from the Borrower is insufficient to pay both all
accrued interest and all principal then due and owing, the Administrative
Agent shall first apply such payment to all outstanding interest until
paid in full and shall then apply the remainder of such payment to all
principal then due and owing, and shall distribute the payment to each
Lender accordingly.
13.2.4 Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall distribute all
Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:
First: To the Administrative Agent, towards any fees and any expenses
for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents not theretofore
paid to the Administrative Agent.
Second: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional
share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until
all Lenders have been reimbursed for all expenses which such
Lenders have previously paid to the Administrative Agent and not
theretofore paid to such Lenders.
Third: To all Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based
upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders
have been paid in full all principal and interest due to such
Lenders under the Loan, with each Lender applying such proceeds
for purposes of this Agreement first against the outstanding
principal balance due to such Lender under the Loan and then to
accrued and unpaid interest due under the Loan.
Fourth: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional
share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until
all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such
Lenders under the Loan including, without limitation, any costs
and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such
costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the
Borrower under the Loan Documents.
-54-
Fifth: To the Borrower or such third parties as may be entitled to claim
Liquidation Proceeds.
13.2.5 Adjustments. If, after Administrative Agent has paid each
Lender's proportionate share of any payment received or applied by
Administrative Agent in respect of the Loan and other Obligations, that
payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by
Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency
law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such
Lender shall, at Administrative Agent's request, promptly return its
proportionate share of such payment or application to Administrative
Agent, together with the Lender's proportionate share of any interest or
other amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent with respect to
such payment or application.
13.2.6 Distribution by Administrative Agent. If in the opinion of
the Administrative Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such
capacity hereunder or under the Note or under any of the other Loan
Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making
distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by
the mutual consent of all Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent
may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance
satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution. If a court of
competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and
distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each person to
whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the
Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to
be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such persons
as shall be determined by such court.
13.2.7 Delinquent Lender. If for any reason any Lender shall fail or
refuse to abide by its obligations under this Loan Agreement, including
without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative
Agent its pro rata share of any Loans, expenses or setoff (a "Delinquent
Lender") and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt
from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition
to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent,
other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and
not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender's right to
participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related
to, the Loans, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be
suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a
Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments
due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans,
interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for
application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all
outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned
payments the Lenders' respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans
shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such
delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such
delinquency. The Delinquent Lender's decision-making and participation
rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent
Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is
delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the
date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are
actually paid.
The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the
obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire
for no cash consideration, (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments
of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender's
Commitment to fund future Loans (the "Future Commitment").
-55-
Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender's
Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender's share in future Loans and its
rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on
the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all
documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest,
including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent
Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender
from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and funds advanced by Administrative
Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender's
failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise
perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
13.2.8 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
Lender designated in the Register as the proportionate owner of such
interest in the Note for all purposes hereof unless and until a written
notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may
be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request,
authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making
such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any
designated interest in the Note shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such
interest in the Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
13.3 Assignment and Participation.
13.3.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided

TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS FROM THE RECEIPT OF THIS COMMUNICATION SHALL
CONSTITUTE A DEEMED APPROVAL BY THE ADDRESSEE OF THE ACTION REQUESTED BY
THE BORROWER OR THE COURSE OF CONDUCT PROPOSED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Lenders, and except as otherwise provided for herein, at Administrative
Agent's option, be applied to Borrower's Obligations or released, in whole
or in part, to pay for the actual cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding
or replacement (collectively, "Cost To Repair"). If any Net Proceeds are
received directly by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall hold such Net
Proceeds in trust for the Administrative Agent and shall promptly deliver
such Net Proceeds in kind to the Administrative Agent.
14.3.2 Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, if the Net
Proceeds do not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and the

limitations and procedures set forth in Section 14.4, if the following
conditions are satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Administrative
Agent:

continuing under the Loan Documents;
(ii) in Administrative Agent's good faith judgment such Net
Proceeds together with any additional funds as may be deposited with
and pledged to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, are
sufficient to pay for the Cost To Repair. In order to make this
determination, Administrative Agent shall be furnished by the
Borrower with an estimate of the Cost to Repair accompanied by an
independent architect's certification as to such Cost to Repair and
appropriate plans and specifications for the Repair Work;
(iii) the subject Event of Loss was not a Major Event of Loss;

discretion, shall have determined that all rents from Leases of the
subject Collateral Property which are to xxxxx pursuant to their
terms are to be payable to the Borrowing Base Property Owner,
subject to deductibles, if any, permitted pursuant to the insurance
policies to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement, from Rent Loss
Proceeds;
(v) in Administrative Agent's good faith judgment, the Repair
Work can reasonably be completed on or before the earliest to occur
of (A) the earliest date required for such completion under the
terms of any Major Lease and (B) such time as may be required under
applicable Legal Requirements; and
(vi) each tenant under a Major Lease which might otherwise
have a right to terminate its lease on account of such Event of Loss
shall have waived its right to so terminate conditioned only upon
the Repair Work being completed within a reasonable period of time

reasonable promptness thereafter. Such actual knowledge or actual notice
shall refer to what was actually known by, or expressed in a written
notification furnished to, any of the persons or officials referred to in
Exhibit D as Authorized Representatives.
15.9.2 Remedies. If it is determined by the final order of a court

and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements in connection with such court proceedings; and (ii) the case of

speculative or punitive damages whatever the nature of the breach by
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of its obligations under this
Loan Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents. In no event shall

any and all consents to be made hereunder by the Administrative Agent, Required

law which cannot be waived, the Obligations of Borrower and the obligations of
the Guarantor and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall be joint
and several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly

against Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders whether in connection with
the Loan or any unrelated transaction.
15.12 Table of Contents, Title and Headings. Any Table of Contents, the
titles and the headings of sections are not parts of this Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Document and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or
construction of any of its or their provisions.

be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered
is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In
making proof of this agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account
for more than one such counterpart which is executed by the party against whom

-68-
15.16 No Oral Change. This Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents may only be amended, terminated, extended or otherwise modified by a
writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought (except no such
writing shall be required for any party which, pursuant to a specific provision
of any Loan Document, is required to be bound by changes without such party's
assent). In no event shall any oral agreements, promises, actions, inactions,
knowledge, course of conduct, course of dealings or the like be effective to
amend, terminate, extend or otherwise modify this Loan Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.
15.17 Monthly Statements. While Administrative Agent may issue invoices or
other statements on a monthly or periodic basis (a "Statement"), it is expressly
acknowledged and agreed that: (i) the failure of Administrative Agent to issue
any Statement on one or more occasions shall not affect Borrower's obligations
to make payments under the Loan Documents as and when due; (ii) the inaccuracy
of any Statement shall not be binding upon Lenders and so Borrower shall always
remain obligated to pay the full amount(s) required under the Loan Documents as
and when due notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any
Statement; (iii) all Statements are issued for information purposes only and
shall never constitute any type of offer, acceptance, modification, or waiver of
the Loan Documents or any of Lenders' rights or remedies thereunder; and (iv) in
no event shall any Statement serve as the basis for, or a component of, any
course of dealing, course of conduct, or trade practice which would modify,

Agent agrees to notify Borrower thereof, provided the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set off or appropriation or
application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR LENDERS TO EXERCISE ITS
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN,
PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS
OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
