Commitment, but in no event more than the Maximum Commitment. The funds
advanced pursuant to the Loans shall be used only for Permitted Uses of Funds.
(b) Each Loan shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than Two
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) and in multiples of Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00); provided, however, that the aggregate amount of
Loans at any time outstanding shall not exceed the amount of the Commitment.
(c) The Borrower may request a Loan by submitting a Borrowing
Request to Lender no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date. Lender shall not be required to fund more than three (3) Loans
in any thirty (30) day period. Subject to the terms and conditions hereto,
Lender shall make the amount of Funds evidencing the Loan requested available by
wire transfer in accordance with the instructions set forth in the applicable
Borrowing Request.
(d) The Loans shall be evidenced by the Note, duly executed by
Borrower, dated the Closing Date and payable to the order of Lender. All Loans
to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and all payments of the principal of such
Loans to Lender shall be recorded by Lender on the schedule annexed to the Note
and by specific reference made a part thereof. The
-13-
amounts of principal indicated by said Schedule as outstanding or accrued and
unpaid, as the case may be, shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of
the principal outstanding and the accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans;
provided, that any failure or error on the part of Lender in recording any Loan
on such Schedule shall not limit the obligation of Borrower to pay all principal
of and interest accruing on the Loans.
(e) The Obligations, including the Loans made hereunder, shall be
made with full recourse to the assets of the Related Entities.
ARTICLE III.
INTEREST, PAYMENTS; FEES
Section 3.01. Interest.
(a) Borrower shall pay interest (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed during the relevant Interest Period, based on a
year of 360 days) on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan from the date
of the making of such Loan until the principal amount thereof shall be paid in
full, at a rate per annum (the "Interest Rate") equal to Adjusted LIBOR, plus
the Applicable Spread. On or before the forty-fifth (45th) day of each quarter,
provided that Borrower and Guarantors shall have timely delivered a Compliance
Certificate, Lender shall determine the Applicable Spread, effective as of the
next following Reset Date, on which the Interest Rate will be based for each
subsequent Interest Period until the next Reset Date; provided, however, that
the failure of Borrower to timely deliver a Compliance Certificate shall not
preclude Lender from resetting the Interest Rate on a Reset Date.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.01(d), interest on
all Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date hereinafter
occurring.
(c) If Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on the Loans or any fee, charge or other amount due and payable
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable notice
or grace period, Borrower shall on demand pay interest on such overdue principal
amount and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on such overdue interest
and any other overdue amount, at the Default Rate, accruing from the date such
payment was due until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before
judgment).
(d) If, by the terms of this Agreement or the Note, Borrower at any
time is required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest shall be deemed to be
immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the portion of all prior interest
payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to
have been payments made in reduction of the principal amount due hereunder and
under the Note.
(e) Lender shall determine on each Payment Date the LIBOR Rate,
Base Rate, Prime Rate and Federal Funds Rate as in effect from time to time, and
each such determination of the LIBOR Rate, Base Rate, Prime Rate and Federal
Funds Rate shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The initial
LIBOR Rate will be determined by Lender on the
-14-
business day of the first draw and will be adjusted on each Payment Date
thereafter. With respect to any subsequent draw, the 30-day LIBOR for each draw
will be determined by Lender on the Business Day of such draw and will be
adjusted on each Payment Date thereafter.
Section 3.02. Payments.
(a) Borrower shall repay the unpaid principal amount of all Loans,
together with all interest due thereon, on the Maturity Date.
(b) Upon at least two (2) Business Days' prior irrevocable written
notice to Lender, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of

Payment Date. Any such prepayment of any Loan permitted by Lender hereunder
shall be accompanied by the payment of any costs, loss or expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with such prepayment as provided in Section 3.05. Accrued
and unpaid interest on any Loan which is repaid pursuant to this Section 3.02(b)
shall be due and payable on the date of any such prepayment. Any amounts
prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) may be reborrowed by Borrower on or
prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each prepayment of principal shall be
in an aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000 and in multiples of
$10,000 in excess thereof.
Section 3.03. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.04. Funds; Manner of Payment; Taxes.
(a) Each payment of principal of and interest on any Loan, and each
payment on account of any other fees, charges or other amounts payable under
this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be paid by
Borrower, without set-off or counterclaim, by wire transfer to Lender at its
office set forth on Schedule I or to such other location or account as Lender
may specify to Borrower from time to time, in Federal or other immediately
available funds in lawful money of the Unite States of America, not later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date on which any such payment is
payable. If any payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
not be payable until the next succeeding Business Day, provided, however, if
such next succeeding Business Day falls within the next calendar month, such
payment shall be due and payable on the immediately preceding Business Day. If
the date for an payments of principal is extended on account of the foregoing or
on account of operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable
at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(b) All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement, the Note
and any of the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now
or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority, excluding income and franchise taxes of the United
States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein (such non-excluded taxes being called "Additional Taxes"). If any
Additional Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the
-15-
amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield
to Lender (after payment of all Additional Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement or in the Note.
Section 3.05. Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to
hold it harmless from any cost, loss or expense which Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) Borrower making a payment or prepayment of
principal on a Loan (i) on a day which is not the Payment Date of an Interest
Period with respect thereto and/or (ii) which causes Lender to incur any
breakage fees in reversing its LIBOR hedge, (b) any failure by Borrower to
borrow a Loan hereunder after a Borrowing Request has been given pursuant to
this Agreement, (c) default by Borrower in making any prepayment after Borrower
has given a notice of prepayment, (d) any Default under Section 6.09 hereof, and
(e) any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans by Lender in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any such reasonable
cost, loss or expense arising in liquidating the Loans and from interest or fees
payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the
Loans hereunder.
Section 3.06. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable
law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or its LIBOR
Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without
limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board (but excluding with
respect to any such requirement reflected in the then effective LIBOR Rate)),
special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender (or its LIBOR
Lending Office) or shall impose on Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or on th
London interbank market any other condition affecting any Loan bearing interest
at the LIBOR Rate, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or making or maintaining any Loan
at the LIBOR Rate, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) under this Agreement or under the Note with
respect thereto, by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then, within
sixty (60) days after demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost
or reduction.
(b) If Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof,
the adoption of any Capital Adequacy Rule has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of Lender (or its Parent) as a
consequence of Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender
(or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days
after demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction.
-16-
(c) Lender will promptly notify Borrower of any event of which it
has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.06 and will use its best efforts to
designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the
judgment of Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to Lender. A certificate of
Lender claiming compensation under either Section 3.06(a) or 3.06(b) and
setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided that any certificate
delivered by Lender pursuant to this Section 3.06(c) shall (i) in the case of a
certificate in respect of amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.06(a), set forth
in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of such amounts, and (ii)
in the case of a certificate in respect of amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.06(b), (A) set forth at least the same amount of detail in respect of the
calculation of such amount as Lender provides in similar circumstances to other
similarly situated borrowers from Lender, and (B) include a statement by Lender
that it has allocated to the Commitment or outstanding Loans a proportionately
equal amount of any reduction of the rate of return on Lender's capital due to a
Capital Adequacy Rule as it has allocated to each of its other commitments to
lend or to each of its other outstanding loans that are affected similarly by
such Capital Adequacy Rule.
(d) Lender shall give Borrower notice of any event giving rise to
any increased cost or reduced return contemplated by this Section 3.06.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.06, Borrower shall have
the option to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Note in full,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, within sixty (60) days
after receipt of such notice. If Borrower elects to so prepay the Note in full,
Borrower shall not be required to make any of the payments contemplated in
Section 3.06(a), (b), or (c).
Section 3.07. Deposits Unavailable. In the event, and on each
occasion, that (a) Lender shall have determined that dollar deposits in the
principal amounts of the Loan are not generally available to Lender in the
London interbank market, for such periods and amounts then outstanding hereunder
or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or (b)
Lender determines that the rate at which such dollar deposits are being offered
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or
maintaining the Loans at the LIBOR Rate during such month, Lender shall, as soon
as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to
Borrower. In the event of any such determination, until the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Loan shall bear interest at the
Base Rate. After a Default, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal
balance of the Note at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
Section 3.08. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any
applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for Lender (or its LIBOR
Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund Loans at the LIBOR Rate, Lender shall
forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower, whereupon until Lender notifies
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist,
the obligation of Lender to make Loans at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended.
Before
-17-
giving any notice to Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.08, Lender shall
designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the
need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to Lender. If Lender shall determine that it may not
lawfully continue to maintain and fund any outstanding Loans at the LIBOR Rate
to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, Borrower shall immediately
prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Loan, together
with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Loan,
Borrower shall borrow a Loan which shall accrue interest at the Base Rate in an
equal principal amount from Lender for an Interest Period coincident with the
remaining term of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan repaid, and Lender
shall make such a Loan accruing interest at the Base Rate.

maximum original principal amount secured by such Jurisdictional Capped
Mortgage(s), and (B) if and to the extent that Lender determines in good faith
that any such additional mortgage recording taxes are so due and payable in
connection with any such future Borrowing and unless Borrower shall have
presented to Lender evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that any such additional
mortgage recording taxes are not so due and payable, Borrower shall cause
Guarantors and/or any Additional Guarantors, as the case may be, to pay such
additional mortgage recording taxes to the appropriate governmental taxing
authorities.

or similar teletransmission or writing) and shall be given to the parties hereto
at the addresses set forth on Schedule I or to such other address or telecopier
number as such party may hereafter specify by written notice to the other party

Section 8.02. Performance by Lender. Should a Related Entity fail to
perform any covenant, duty or agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of any of the Loan Documents to which it is party, Lender may, at its
option, perform, or attempt to perform, such covenant, duty or agreement on
behalf of such Related Entity. In such event, Borrower or the
-33-
appropriate entity shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay any amount
expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance to Lender at the
office of Lender designated for receipt of payments of principal and interest on
the Loan, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of
such expenditure by Lender until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
expressly understood that Lender does not assume and shall never have, except by
express written consent, any liability or responsibility for the performance of
any duties of any Related Entity hereunder, or under or in connection with all
or an part of the Collateral.

Note nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified
except in writing signed by the parties hereto. In the case of any express,
written waiver of a Default or Event of Default, such Default or Event of
Default so waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or
impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 8.04. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on
the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the Related
Entities and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or
thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
law. To the extent that the rights and remedies provided herein differ in any
respect from the rights and remedies provided in the other Loan Documents,
Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to exercise such rights and
remedies as it may choose, in its sole discretion, whether arising under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any combination of the foregoing. The
giving of notice to or demand on Borrower or any other Related Entity which
notice or demand is not required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall not entitle Borrower or such Related Entity to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the
rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender in any circumstances not
requiring notice or demand.
Section 8.05. Fees and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse
Lender for paying:
(a) all expenses in connection with the negotiation, preparation,

Entity or a "workout" of the Loans, as applicable, or in connection with any
seizure or sale of any Collateral of any related or similar proceedings;

(c) all Taxes, and all transfer, stamp, documentary or other
similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue

charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or
perfection of any security interest or Lien contemplated by this Agreement, any
other Loan Documents or any document referred to therein; and

title insurance premiums, appraisal fees, costs of surveys, fees of third-party
consultants and all other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in
connection with any Collateral, all of which sums shall be paid on demand with
interest thereon at the Default Rate.
Section 8.06. Indemnification. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify
Lender and its respective directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents
from, and to hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (in contract, tort or otherwise)
incurred by any of them, as incurred, arising out of or by reason of any claim
of any Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or resulting from
the ownership or financing of any Collateral or any investigation or litigation
or other proceedings (including any threatened investigation or litigation or
other proceedings) relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
actual or proposed use by Borrower of any of the proceeds of any of the Loans
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel), but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
any Person to be indemnified hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the obligation of Borrower under this Section 8.06 shall survive
the repayment of the Loans.
Section 8.07. Benefits of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and their respective
successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Note without the prior
written consent of Lender.
Section 8.08. Participations. Lender may at any time grant to one or
more banks or other institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests
in its Commitment or any portion or all of the Loan. In the event of any such
grant by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not
upon notice to Borrower, Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of
its obligations hereunder, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and
directly with Lender in connection with Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which Lender may grant such a
participating interest shall provide that Lender shall retain the sole right and
responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder including,
without limitation, the right to approve any, amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement
may provide that Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver
of this Agreement (a) which increases or decreases the Commitment, (b) reduces
the principal of or rate of interest on the Loan or fees hereunder or (c)
postpones the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan
or any fees hereunder without the consent of the Participant.
-35-
Section 8.09. Assignments. Lender may at any time assign to one or
more banks or other institutions (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate
part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Note,
and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an
assignment and assumption agreement executed by such Assignee and Lender. Upon
execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to Lender
of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between Lender and such
Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all
the rights and obligations of Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such
instrument of assumption, and Lender shall be released from its obligations
hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any
party shall be required, provided, however, that Lender shall serve as the agent
of any such banks or institutions and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and
directly with Lender in connection with Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this
Section 8.09, Lender and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that,
if required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee provided the new note does not
create any new indebtedness and the previous note shall be deemed cancelled and
delivered to Borrower. In addition to the foregoing, Lender may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder and under the Note to an
Affiliate or other branch of Lender.

Section 8.14. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to

unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provisions in any other jurisdiction.
Section 8.15. Right of Setoff. In addition to any other rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise and not by way of limitation
of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby
authorizes Lender and each affiliate of Lender at any time or from time to time,
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of other kind to Borrower
or any other Person, each of which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply any
