shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Boston time, at least five (5)
Business Days' prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this ss.3.2,
in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of Loans and the principal
amount to be paid.

SECTION 3.3.PARTIAL PREPAYMENTS. Each partial prepayment of the Loans
under ss.3.2 shall be in an integral multiple of $ 100,000, shall be accompanied
by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of
payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence of
instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then
to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans.

SECTION 3.4.PROCEEDS FROM DEBT OR EQUITY OFFERING. So long as no
"Default" or "Event of Default" (as such terms are defined in the Revolving
Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of
the following described payment, the Borrower shall cause any Net Offering
Proceeds of any Equity Offering (excluding proceeds received in connection with
the Stock Purchase Commitment) to be paid by the Borrower or the Guarantor to
the Agent for the account of the Banks as a prepayment of the Loans to the
Borrower or which are guaranteed by the Guarantor within ten (10) days of the
date of such offering to be applied first to the then outstanding principal of
the Loans and then to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans.

SECTION 4.CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

SECTION 4.1. CONVERSION OPTIONS.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert the
outstanding Loans to a Loan of another Type and such Loan shall thereafter bear
interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that
(i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate
Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days' prior
written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the
last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with
respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan the
Borrower shall give the Agent at least four (4) LIBOR Business Days' prior
written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan,
the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate
amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and,
after giving effect to the making of such Loan there shall be no more than four
(4) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be
converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Type
may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall
result in a Base Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount of less than
$1,000,000 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount of less than
$2,000,000 and that the aggregate principal amount of each Loan shall be in an
integral multiple of $100,000. On the date on which such conversion is being
made, each Bank shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its
Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR
Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion Request relating to the
conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the
Borrower.

(b) Any Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration
of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with
the terms of ss.4.1(a); provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as
such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred

and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on
the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent
of its election hereunder with respect to any Loan, such Loan shall be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable
Interest Period.

SECTION 4.2.COMMITMENT AND SYNDICATION FEE. The Borrower shall pay to
BankBoston certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection
with the Loan as provided pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees as of even
date herewith between the Borrower and BankBoston.

SECTION 4.3.[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

SECTION 4.4.FUNDS FOR PAYMENTS.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, closing fees and any
other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be
made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Banks and the Agent, as
the case may be, at the Agent's Head Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston
time) on the day when due, in each case in immediately available funds. The
Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with
BankBoston designated by the Borrower, on the dates when the amount thereof
shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest
on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the
Agent and/or the Banks under the Loan Documents.

(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of
the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free
and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or
conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction
or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless
the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any
such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable
by them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will
pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks or (as the case may be) the
Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under
such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be
necessary to enable the Banks or the Agent to receive the same net amount which
the Banks or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such
obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to
the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges
deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or
under such other Loan Document.

SECTION 4.5.COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interest on the Loans and
of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid
for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the
definition of the term "Interest Period" with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans,
whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during
such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the records
of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such
amount.

SECTION 4.6.INABILITY TO DETERMINE LIBOR RATE. In the event that, prior
to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the
Agent shall reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not
exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, the Agent shall
forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and the Banks) to the Borrower and the Banks. In such
event (a) any Loan request with respect to conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall
be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan
and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then
current Interest Period thereof, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of
the Banks to provide LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent
determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Banks.

SECTION 4.7. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein,
if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the
interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central
bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Bank or its
LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Bank to make or
maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Bank shall forthwith give notice of such
circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of
the Banks to provide LIBOR Rate Loans or convert another Type to LIBOR Rate
Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding
shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier
period as may be required by law.

SECTION 4.8. ADDITIONAL INTEREST. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion
thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date
which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR
Rate Loan, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the
Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to
any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, any amounts required to
compensate the Banks for any losses, costs or expenses which may reasonably be
incurred as a result of such payment or conversion, including, without
limitation, an amount equal to daily interest for the unexpired portion of such
Interest Period on the LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof so repaid or converted
at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the interest rate
calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan
minus (b) the yield obtainable by the Agent upon the purchase of debt securities
customarily issued by the Treasury of the United States of America which have a
maturity date most closely approximating the last day of such Interest Period
(it being

understood that the purchase of such securities shall not be required in order
for such amounts to be payable) and that a Bank shall not be obligated or
required to have actually obtained funds at the LIBOR Rate or to have actually
reinvested such amounts as described above.

SECTION 4.9. ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used
herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and legally binding
interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other
regulatory body or official with appropriate jurisdiction charged with the
administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives,
instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or
otherwise issued to any Bank or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal,
monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(a) subject any Bank or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost,
duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Bank's Commitment or the Loans (other
than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Bank or the
Agent), or

(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for
changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Bank of the principal
of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Bank under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special
deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar
requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or
deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of
any Bank, or

(d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other conditions or
requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Loans, such Bank's Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any
of the Loans or such Bank's Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of
the foregoing is

(i) to increase the cost to any Bank of making,
funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of
the Loans or such Bank's Commitment, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or
other amount payable to such Bank or the Agent hereunder on
account of such Bank's Commitment or any of the Loans, or

(iii) to require such Bank or the Agent to make any
payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable
hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or
other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of
any

sum receivable or deemed received by such Bank or the Agent
from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will within fifteen (15) days after
demand made by such Bank or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from
time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Bank
or the Agent such additional amounts as such Bank or the Agent shall determine
in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Agent for such
additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Bank
and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods, generally applied by such Bank or the Agent.

SECTION 4.10. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If after the date hereof any Bank
determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or
guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or
any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental
authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such
Bank or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive
of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Bank's or such holding
company's capital as a consequence of such Bank's commitment to make Loans
hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or holding company could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Bank's or such holding company's then existing policies with respect to
capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by
any amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then such Bank may notify the
Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank the amount of such
reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined,
upon presentation by such Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth
such Bank's calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Bank may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

SECTION 4.11.INDEMNITY OF BORROWER. The Borrower agrees to indemnify
each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss, cost or
expense that such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by
the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR
Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense
arising from interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained
by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by the Borrower
in making a conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given)
a Conversion Request.

SECTION 4.12.INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS; LATE CHARGE. Overdue
principal and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents (other than interest on the Loans) shall, following the
expiration of any applicable cure period expressly provided for in this
Agreement, bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to five
percent (5.0%) above the Base Rate until such amount shall be paid in full
(after as well as before judgment). Overdue interest on the Loans shall,
following the expiration of any applicable cure period expressly provided for in
this Agreement, bear interest payable on demand at a rate equal to the lesser of
(i) a per annum rate equal to five percent (5.0%) above the Base Rate or (ii)
the maximum annual rate of

interest permitted by applicable law until such amount shall be paid in full
(after as well as before judgment). In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late
charge equal to four percent (4.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal
payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the Loan
Documents, which is not paid by the Borrower within the applicable cure period
expressly provided for in this Agreement

SECTION 4.13.HLT CLASSIFICATION. The Banks acknowledge that as of the
date hereof neither the Commitments nor the Loans are classified as "highly
leveraged transactions". Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the date
hereof, the Agent determines, or is advised by any Bank that such Bank has
determined or has received notice from any governmental authority, central bank
or comparable agency having jurisdiction over such Bank, that any of the
Commitments or Loans are classified as a "highly leveraged transaction" (an "HLT
Classification") pursuant to any existing regulations regarding "highly
leveraged transactions" or any modification, amendment or interpretation
thereof, or the adoption of new regulations regarding "highly leveraged
transactions" after the date hereof by any governmental authority, central bank
or comparable agency, the Agent shall promptly give notice of such HLT
Classification to the Borrower and the Banks (which date is hereafter referred
to as the "HLT Notice Date"). The Agent, the Banks and the Borrower shall
thereupon commence negotiations in good faith to agree on the extent to which
fees, interest rates and/or margins hereunder should be increased so as to
reflect such HLT Classification. If the Borrower and the Majority Banks agree on
the amount of such increase or increases, this Agreement shall be promptly
amended to give effect to such increase or increases. If the Borrower and the
Majority Banks fail to so agree and the Borrower has failed to refinance the
Loans within ninety (90) days after the HLT Notice Date, then the Agent shall,
if so requested by the Majority Banks, by notice to the Borrower terminate the
Commitments and accelerate the maturity date of the Loans and the Loans shall
become due and payable in full on the date specified in such notice, which date
shall be not earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days after the HLT Notice
Date. The Agent and the Banks acknowledge that an HLT Classification is not a
Default or an Event of Default.

SECTION 4.14.CERTIFICATE. A certificate setting forth any amounts
payable pursuant to ss.4.8, ss.4.9, ss.4.10, ss.4.11, ss.4.12 or ss.4.13 and a
brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Bank or the
Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 4.15. LIMITATION ON INTEREST. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between the Borrower and the Banks and
the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or
oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of
acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the
interest contracted for, charged or received by the Banks exceed the maximum
amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever,
interest would otherwise be payable to the Banks in excess of the maximum lawful
amount, the interest payable to the Banks shall be reduced to the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Banks shall
ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of
the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be
applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations of the
Borrower and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive

interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the
Borrower, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or
agreed to be paid to the Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until
payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower (including
the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for
such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. This section shall control all agreements between the Borrower and the
Banks and the Agent.

SECTION 4.16.EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE.

(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option, to be exercised
by giving written notice to the Agent in the form of Exhibit "C" hereto at least
90 days prior to the initial scheduled Maturity Date of May 1, 1999, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to extend the Maturity
Date to October 1, 2000. The request by the Borrower for extension of the
Maturity Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower
that all of the conditions set forth in this Section shall have been satisfied
on the date of such request.

(b) The obligations of the Agent and the Banks to extend the
Maturity Date as provided in ss.4.16(a) shall be subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions precedent on or prior to the scheduled Maturity Date of
May 1, 1999:

(i) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay
to BankBoston certain fees pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees of even date
herewith and BankBoston will pay a portion of such fees to the Banks pursuant to
the separate agreement among BankBoston and the Banks.

(ii) No Default. On the date of the exercise of such
extension option and on May 1, 1999, there shall exist no Default or Event of
Default.

(iii) Representations and Warranties. The
representations and warranties made by the Borrower or the Guarantor in the Loan
Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantor or
any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection therewith or after the date
thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects on May 1,
1999.

(iv) Interest Rate Protection. The Borrower shall
have obtained or extended prior to May 1, 1999, the Interest Rate Contract
described in ss.10.17 or such other Interest Rate Contract as the Agent may
approve in its discretion (and which shall not expire before October 1, 2000)
and shall have provided evidence thereof to the Agent.

SECTION 5.COLLATERAL SECURITY

SECTION 5.1.Collateral. The Banks have agreed to make the Loans to the
Borrower on an unsecured basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations
shall be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty and the REMIC
Subsidiary Guaranty (Term Loan). The REMIC Subsidiary Guaranty (Term Loan) shall
be marked canceled and returned to the REMIC Subsidiary upon consummation of the
REMIC Transaction and thereupon the Contribution Agreement (Term Loan) may be
terminated by the Borrower, the guarantor and the REMIC Subsidiary.

income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor, materials, or
supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its
property; provided that any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim need not
be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall
have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and

therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers, all at
such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Bank may reasonably
request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such

SECTION 7.14.LIMITING AGREEMENTS.

(a) Neither Borrower, the Guarantor nor any of their

pledge to Agent any assets which are owned by the Borrower, the Guarantor or any
such Subsidiary and which are not otherwise subject to liens permitted by
ss.8.2(vi), (vii) and (viii) as security for the Loans. Borrower shall take, and
shall cause the Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to take, such
actions as are necessary to preserve the right and ability of Borrower, the
Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to pledge such assets as security
for the Loans without any such pledge after the date hereof causing or
permitting the acceleration (after the giving of notice or the passage of time,
or otherwise) of any other Indebtedness of Borrower, the Guarantor or any of
their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) Borrower shall, upon demand, provide to the Agent such
evidence as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence compliance with this

security for Indebtedness, or which provide for the occurrence of a default

for Indebtedness of the Borrower or Guarantor.

Initial REMIC Properties may be owned by the REMIC Subsidiary; and provided

whether affirmative or negative (or any other provision which may have the same
practical effect as any of the foregoing), which are individually or in the
aggregate more restrictive against the Borrower, the Guarantor or their
respective Subsidiaries than those set forth in ss.8 and ss.9 of this Agreement,
the Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent and, if requested by the Majority
Banks, the Borrower, the Agent, and the Majority Banks shall promptly amend this

without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks.

U8.6. Compliance with Environmental Laws Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor
will, nor will either of them permit any of its Subsidiaries, to do any of the

or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any
Hazardous Substances (except in compliance with all Environmental Laws).

The Borrower shall:

(i) in the event of any change in
Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or

45
57

lead a prudent lender to require additional testing to avail
itself of any statutory insurance or limited liability, take
all action (including, without limitation, the conducting of
engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to
confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released
or disposed of on the Mortgaged Property; and

(ii) if any Release or disposal of
Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on the
Real Estate (including without limitation any such Release or

removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the
Real Estate in full compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations and to the satisfaction of the Majority Banks;
provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to be in
compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this
clause so long as it or a responsible third party with
sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to
remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the
satisfaction of the Majority Banks and no action shall have
been commenced by any enforcement agency. The Majority Banks
may engage their own Environmental Engineer to review the
environmental assessments and the Borrower's compliance with
the covenants contained herein.

At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder,

the Agent or the Majority Banks shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a
Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances may have occurred,
relating to any Real Estate, or that any of the Real Estate is not in
compliance with the Environmental Laws, the Agent may at its election (and will
at the request of the Majority Banks) obtain such environmental assessments of
such Real Estate prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or
advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous
Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to such Real Estate
and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Real Estate comply with all
Environmental Laws. Environmental assessments may include detailed visual
inspections of such Real Estate including, without limitation, any and all
storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry ▇▇▇▇▇ and leaching areas, and the
taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are
necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such
Real Estate and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental
Laws. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense
of the Borrower.

U8.7. Distributions Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor shall make any
Distributions which would cause it to violate any of the following covenants:

(a) The Borrower shall not pay any Distribution to its
partners if such Distribution is in excess of the amount which, when added to
the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same fiscal quarter and the
preceding three (3) fiscal quarters would

46
58

exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of its Funds from Operations for the four (4)
consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the quarter in which such
Distribution is paid;

(b) In the event that an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor shall make

Status of the Guarantor, as evidenced by a certification of the principal
financial or accounting officer of the Guarantor containing calculations in
reasonable detail satisfactory in form and substance to Agent; and

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an
Event of Default shall have occurred and the maturity of the Obligations has
been accelerated, neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor shall make any
Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly.

U8.8. Asset Sales Neither the Borrower, the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary thereof
shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Real Estate having an
Appraised Value in excess of $25,000,000.00 (except (i) as the result of a
condemnation or casualty, or (ii) for the granting of Permitted Liens, or (iii)
for the sale, transfer or other disposition in the ordinary course of business
of Real Estate securing Indebtedness permitted under by Section 8.1(k)) unless
there shall have been delivered to the Banks a statement that no Default or
Event of Default exists immediately prior to such sale, transfer or other
disposition or would exist after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other
disposition; provided, however, that the Additional REMIC Properties may be
transferred to the REMIC Subsidiary upon consummation of the REMIC Transaction.

U8.9. Development Activity Neither the Borrower, the Guarantor nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries shall engage, directly or indirectly, in any
development except as expressly provided in this Section 8.9. The Borrower,
the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries may engage, either
directly or, in the case of the Borrower, through any Affiliate of the
Borrower, an Investment in which is permitted under Section 8.3(k), in the
development of property to be used principally for retail shopping centers
which at any time has a total cost (including acquisition, construction and
other costs), whether such total costs are incurred directly by the Borrower,
the Guarantor or such Subsidiary or through an Investment in an Affiliate
permitted under Section 8.3(k), individually for each development project that
is not in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset
Value of the Borrower, and in the aggregate for all development projects that
is not in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the Consolidated Total Adjusted
Asset Value of the Borrower, without the prior written consent of the Majority
Banks. For purposes of this Section 8.9, the term "development" shall include
the new construction of a shopping center complex or the substantial renovation
of improvements to real property which materially change the character or size
thereof, but shall not include the addition of amenities or other related
facilities to existing Real Estate which is already used principally for
shopping centers; provided, however, that the term "development" shall not
include the addition of an anchor store to an existing shopping center project
provided that the construction of such improvements is performed by the tenant,
and the Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof), the Guarantor or its respective
Subsidiary, as applicable, is only obligated to reimburse such tenant

47
59

for a fixed amount with respect to the cost of such construction upon
completion of such construction by such tenant. The Borrower and the Guarantor
each acknowledges that the decision of the Majority Banks to grant or withhold
such consent shall be based on such factors as the Majority Banks deem relevant
in their sole discretion, including without limitation, evidence of sufficient
funds both from borrowings and equity to complete such development and evidence
that the Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof), the Guarantor or either of its
Subsidiaries has the resources and expertise necessary to complete such
project. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of
their respective Subsidiaries thereof from entering into an agreement to
acquire Real Estate which has been developed and initially leased by another
Person. Neither the Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof), the Guarantor nor any
Subsidiary shall acquire or hold any number of undeveloped parcels of Real
Estate which in the aggregate exceed five percent (5%) of the Consolidated
Total Adjusted Asset Value of the Borrower and the Guarantor without the prior
written consent of the Majority Banks, provided that the acquisition or holding
of any outlots or property adjacent to any Real Estate owned by the Borrower
(or any Affiliate thereof), the Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall not be deemed
to be an undeveloped parcel of Real Estate for this purpose and options to
acquire any property shall not be deemed an acquisition or holding of such
property. Further, any new development project permitted under the terms of
this Section 8.9 engaged in by the Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof), the
Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall be either (a) at least seventy percent (70%)
pre-leased, including all anchors, or under a purchase agreement and all
construction bids shall be in place and any such development shall continue to
be deemed an undeveloped parcel until such time as construction commences, or
(b) sufficiently pre-leased such that based on such leases the gross income
from such leases upon completion of such project shall equal or exceed
projected operating expenses (including reserves for expenses not paid on a
monthly basis). For purposes of this Section 8.9, Consolidated Total Adjusted
Asset Value shall not include the amount of the Stock Purchase Commitment
Allowance.

provided that for purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, prior
to such time as the Borrower has owned and operated a parcel of Real Estate for
four (4) full fiscal quarters, the Operating Cash Flow with respect to such
parcel of Real Estate for the number of full fiscal quarters which the Borrower
has owned and operated such parcel of Real Estate as annualized shall be
utilized. For the purpose of calculating Consolidated

48

good faith business judgment of the Majority

53
65

Banks after giving consideration to the likelihood of success of such suit or

subsections.

U12.3. [Intentionally Omitted]

U12.4. Remedies In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Banks shall have accelerated
the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 12.1, the Agent on behalf of the
Banks may, with the consent of the Majority Banks but not otherwise, proceed to
protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes,
or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other
appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any
instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced, including to the
full extent permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte
appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other
legal or equitable right. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the
holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and
every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
or any other provision of law. In the event that all or any portion of the
Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall
pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees.

U12.5. Distribution of Proceeds In the event that, following the occurrence or
during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in
connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with
respect to the realization upon any of the assets of the Borrower or the
Guarantor, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the
reimbursement of, the Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs,
expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained
by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for
the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the
rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate
indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or
may have, priority over the rights of the Agent to such monies;

55
67

(b) Second, to all other Obligations in such order of
preference as the Majority Banks shall determine; provided, however, that (i)
distributions in respect of such Obligations shall be made pari passu among
Obligations with respect to the Agent's fee payable pursuant to Section 4.3 and
all other Obligations, (ii) Obligations owing to the Banks with respect to each
type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, shall be
made among the Banks pro rata, and (iii) amounts received or realized from the
Borrower shall be applied against the Obligations of the Borrower; and
provided, further that the Majority Banks may in their discretion make proper
allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

U13. SETOFF Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or
demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch
of where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any of
the Banks to the Borrower or the Guarantor and any securities or other property
of the Borrower or the Guarantor in the possession of such Bank may be applied
to or set off against the payment of Obligations of such Person and any and all
other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to
become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of such Person to such Bank.
Each of the Banks agrees with each other Bank that if such Bank shall receive
from the Borrower or the Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of
the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of
the Note or Notes held by such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable portion
of the payments received by all of the Banks with respect to the Notes held by
all of the Banks, such Bank will make such disposition and arrangements with
the other Banks with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro
tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each
Bank receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and
arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.

U14. THE AGENT U14.1. Authorization The Agent is authorized to take such
action on behalf of each of the Banks and to exercise all such powers as are
hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents
delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident
thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed
herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The
obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and
nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Bank or to create a
fiduciary relationship. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to
act for and bind the Banks pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

56
68

U14.2. Employees and Agents The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its
duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to
rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and
duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may
utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and
all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the
Borrower.

U14.3. No Liability Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors,
officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor
any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to any of the Banks for any
waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken,
in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences
of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such
other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful
misconduct or gross negligence.

U14.4. No Representations The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution
or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other
Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to
constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such
collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of
any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or
statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by
or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or
in any other of the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain
whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower,
the Guarantor or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized
or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make
any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any
liability to the Banks, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial
condition of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or the value of any of the assets of the Borrower, the Guarantor
or their respective Subsidiaries. Each Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based
upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Bank, based upon such information and documents as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

U14.5. Payments

(a) A payment by the Borrower or the Guarantor to the
Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any
Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees to distribute
to each Bank not later than one Business Day after the Agent's receipt of good
funds, determined in accordance with the Agent's customary practices,

57
69

such Bank's pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of
the Banks except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents. In the event the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within
one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time
in effect.

(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of
any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under
any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain
from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent
jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the
Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have
been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount
so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such
Persons as shall be determined by such court. In the event that the Agent
shall refrain from making any distribution of any amount received by it as
provided in this Section 14.5(b), the Agent shall endeavor to hold such amounts
in an interest bearing account and at such time as such amounts may be
distributed to the Banks, the Agent shall distribute to each Bank, based on
their respective Commitment Percentages, its pro rata share of the interest or
other earnings from such deposited amount.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank that fails (i) to
make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or (ii) to comply
with the provisions of Section 13 with respect to making dispositions and
arrangements with the other Banks, where such Bank's share of any payment
received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of
such payments due and payable to all of the Banks, in each case as, when and to
the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed
delinquent (a "Delinquent Bank") and shall be deemed a Delinquent Bank until
such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Bank 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
nondelinquent Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro
rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Bank hereby authorizes
the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Banks in proportion
to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. A Delinquent
Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a
result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the
nondelinquent Banks or as a result of other payments by the Delinquent Banks to
the nondelinquent Banks, the Banks' respective pro rata shares of all
outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such
delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such
delinquency.

U14.6. Holders of Notes Subject to the terms of Article 18, the Agent may deem
and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for
all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a
different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

70

U14.7. Indemnity The Banks ratably hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether
groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any
expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as
required by Section 15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising
out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or
the Agent's actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that
any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent's willful misconduct or
gross negligence.

U14.8. Agent as Bank In its individual capacity, BankBoston shall have the same
obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its
Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as
it would have were it not also the Agent.

U14.9. Resignation The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days'
prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint as a successor
Agent any Bank or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less
than "A" or its equivalent by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investors Service, Inc. or not less than
"A" or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's Rating Group Inc. and which has a
net worth of not less than $500,000,000. If no successor Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of
resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a
successor Agent, which shall be any Bank or a bank whose debt obligations are
rated not less than "A" or its equivalent by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investors Service, Inc. or
not less than "A" or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's Rating Group Inc. and
which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. After any
retiring Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents 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 Agent.

U14.10. Duties in the Case of Enforcement 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 Agent shall, if (a) so requested by the
Majority Banks and (b) the Banks have provided to the Agent such additional
indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may
reasonably request, proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and
other rights or remedies as it may have. The Majority Banks may direct the
Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the
Banks hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all
liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance
with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such
direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent's
compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in
any applicable jurisdiction.

59
71

U14.11. Removal of Agent The Majority Banks may remove the Agent from its
capacity as agent in the event of the Agent's willful misconduct or gross
negligence. Such removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of
a successor Agent selected by the Majority Banks. Any successor Agent must
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 14.9. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the removed Agent, and the removed Agent shall be discharged from all
further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement and the Loan
Documents (subject to the Agent's right to be indemnified as provided in the
Loan Documents); provided that the Agent shall remain liable to the extent
provided herein or in the Loan Documents for its acts or omissions occurring
prior to such removal or resignation. The Commitment Percentage of the Bank
which is acting as Agent shall not be taken into account in the calculation of
Majority Banks for the purposes of removing Agent in the event of the Agent's
willful misconduct or gross negligence.

producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the

severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and the Banks and
each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who controls the Agent or
any Bank from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether
groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses,
damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation (a) any leasing
fees and any brokerage, finders or similar fees asserted against any Person
indemnified under this Section 16 based upon any agreement, arrangement or
action made or taken, or alleged to have been made or taken, by the Borrower,
the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (b) any condition of the

connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding;
provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor shall be
obligated under this Section 16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising
from such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In litigation,
or the preparation therefor, the Banks and the Agent shall be entitled to
select a single nationally recognized law firm as their own counsel and, in
addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower and the Guarantor agree to
pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the
extent that the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor under this
Section 16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower and the Guarantor
hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of
such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of
this Section 16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of
the obligations of the Banks hereunder.

U17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or
in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, the
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto
shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Banks and the Agent,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them,
and shall survive the making by the Banks of any of the Loans, as herein
contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount
due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents
remains outstanding or any Bank has any obligation to make any Loans. The
indemnification obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor provided herein
and the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of

61
73

amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Banks hereunder and
thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained
in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Bank or the Agent at any
time by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions

Person hereunder.

U18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION U18.1. Conditions to Assignment by Banks
Except as provided herein, each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other
entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and
Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it, and the
Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent shall have given its prior
written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment
to another Bank, to a bank which is under common control with the assigning
Bank or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Bank provided that such assignee
shall remain a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Bank), (b) each such assignment
shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning
Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (c) the parties to such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the
Register (as hereinafter defined), a notice of such assignment, together with
any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any voting, consent
or approval rights of a Bank be assigned to any Person controlling, controlled
by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence
or control by, any of the Borrower or the Guarantor, which rights shall instead
be allocated pro rata among the other remaining Banks, (e) such assignee shall
have a net worth as of the date of such assignment of not less than
$500,000,000, (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not
less than $5,000,000, (g) the assignor shall assign its entire interest in the
Loans or retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000 and (h)
each such assignment shall be subject to the approval of the Agent, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, of such notice of assignment, (i) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the
Banks and, to the extent provided in such assignment, have the rights and
obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (ii) the assigning Bank shall, to the
extent provided in such assignment and upon payment to the Agent of the
registration fee referred to in Section 18.2, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall
represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Bank as to
whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with
or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower or the
Guarantor. In the event that, as of result of any such assignment, the Agent
in its capacity as a Bank retains an interest in the Loans of less than
$15,000,000 and such amount is less than the retained interest of any other
Bank, then the Agent shall offer to resign as Agent for the Banks. Upon any
such assignment, the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1 to reflect any
such assignment.

62
74

U18.2. Register The Agent shall maintain a copy of each assignment delivered to
it and a register or similar list (the "Register") for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment Percentages of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to the Banks from time to time. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error,
and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and
the Banks at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Bank agrees to pay to the
Agent a registration fee in the sum of $2,000.

U18.3. New Notes Upon its receipt of an assignment executed by the parties to
such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent
shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b)
give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks (other than the
assigning Bank). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice,
the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in
exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such assignee in
an amount equal to the amount assumed by such assignee pursuant to such
assignment and, if the assigning Bank has retained some portion of its
obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Bank in an
amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder and shall cause the
Guarantor to deliver to the Agent an acknowledgment in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent to the effect that the Guaranty extends to and is
applicable to each new Note. Such new Notes shall provide that they are
replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall
be dated the effective date of such assignment and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be
canceled and returned to the Borrower.

U18.4. Participations Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities in all or a portion of such Bank's rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or
participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Bank
hereunder to the Borrower, (b) such participation shall not entitle such
participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan
Documents, including without limitation, the right to approve waivers,
amendments or modifications, (c) such participant shall have no direct rights
against the Borrower or the Guarantor except the rights granted to the Banks
pursuant to Section 13, (d) such sale is effected in accordance with all
applicable laws, and (e) such participant shall not be a Person controlling,
controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from
influence or control by the Borrower or the Guarantor. Any Bank which sells a
participation shall promptly notify the Agent of such sale and the identity of
the purchaser of such interest.

U18.5. Pledge by Bank Any Bank may at any time pledge all or any portion of its
interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its
Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of
the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or the
enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Bank from its obligations
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

63
75

U18.6. No Assignment by Borrower or Guarantor Neither the Borrower nor the
Guarantor shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any
of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Banks.

U18.7. Disclosure The Borrower and the Guarantor each agrees that in addition
to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices any Bank may
disclose information obtained by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement to
assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder.

U18.8. Amendments to Loan Documents Upon any such assignment or participation,
the Borrower and the Guarantor shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into
such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan
Documents to reflect such assignment or participation.

the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and

U25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CERTAIN DAMAGE CLAIMS EACH OF THE BORROWER,
THE GUARANTOR, THE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE
BORROWER AND THE GUARANTOR EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR

provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by
this Agreement may be given and any term of this Agreement or of any other
instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the
performance or observance by the Borrower or the Guarantor of any terms of this
Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event

of the Majority Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following
may occur without the written consent of each Bank: a change in the rate of
interest on and the term of the Notes; the amount of the Commitments of the
Banks; a reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any
interest thereon; the amount of any fee (other than late fees) payable to a
Bank hereunder; the release of the Borrower or the Guarantor except as
otherwise provided herein; or an amendment of the definition of Majority Banks
or of any requirement for consent by all of the Banks. The amount of the
Agent's fee payable for the Agent's account and the provisions of Section 14
may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. The Borrower and
the Guarantor each agrees to enter into such modifications or amendments of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by
BankBoston in connection with the acquisition by each Bank acquiring all or a
portion of the Commitment, provided that no such amendment or modification
materially affects or increases any of the obligations of the Borrower or the

67
79

Guarantor hereunder. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not
expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing
or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Bank in exercising any
right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.
No notice to or demand upon the Borrower or the Guarantor shall entitle the
Borrower and the Guarantor to other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.

U28. SEVERABILITY The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and
if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability
shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such
jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in
any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in
any jurisdiction.

covenant, agreement and obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantor under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE

hereof shall look solely to the trust assets of the trust, and in no event
shall the obligations of the Guarantor be enforceable against any shareholder,
trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Guarantor personally.
