AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF FEBRUARY __, 1997
This AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (the
"AGREEMENT") is dated as of February __, 1997, by and among LEXINGTON CORPORATE
PROPERTIES, INC. ("LEXINGTON"), LEPERCQ CORPORATE INCOME FUND L.P. ("LCIFI"),
LEPERCQ CORPORATE INCOME FUND II L.P. ("LCIFII"), UNION HILLS ASSOCIATES ("UNION
HILLS"), NORTH TAMPA ASSOCIATES ("NORTH TAMPA"), AND LEX GP-1, INC. ("LGP-1"),
jointly and severally (collectively, the "BORROWERS" and individually, a
"BORROWER") acting by and through LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES, INC.
("BORROWERS' Agent"); the institutions from time to time who are a party hereto
as LENDERS, (whether by execution of this Agreement or an Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement), the institutions from time to time who are a party hereto
as ISSUING BANKS, (whether by execution of this Agreement or an Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement) and FLEET NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association
("FLEET"), as administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (in
such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the
"AGENT").
WHEREAS, Lexington, LCIFI, LCIFII, Union Hills, North Tampa and
Fleet previously entered into a Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated
as of November 14, 1995, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Revolving
Credit Agreement dated December 23, 1996 (collectively the "ORIGINAL AGREEMENT")
which they now desire to further amend and restate in its entirety to, inter
alia (i) add LGP-1 as a Borrower, (ii) increase the maximum amount of Loans
available to the Borrowers from $25,000,000 to $60,000,000, (iii) enable Fleet
to act as administrative agent, and (iv) provide for the admission of additional
Lenders and Issuing Banks; and
WHEREAS, the Borrowers, Fleet and each other Lender and Issuing Bank
who hereafter becomes a party to this Agreement hereby agree that from and after
the date hereof this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement shall
supersede the Original Agreement in all respects and shall constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained
herein; and
WHEREAS, the Borrowers desire to obtain a separate Revolving Credit
Commitment from each Lender pursuant to which such Lender will make loans to and
for the benefit of one or more of the Borrowers in an amount not to exceed such
Lender's Pro Rata Share in a maximum aggregate outstanding principal amount not
to exceed $60,000,000 at any one time; and
WHEREAS, each Lender is willing, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, to extend a Revolving Credit Commitment and to severally
make Loans to and for the benefit of the Borrowers.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
7
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS
1.1. DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement all capitalized terms
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A, applicable
both to the singular and the plural forms of the terms defined.
1.2. COMPUTATION OF TIME PERIODS. In this Agreement, in the
computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date,
the word "from" means "from and including" and the words "to" and "until" each
mean "to but excluding". Periods of days referred to in this Agreement shall be
counted in calendar days unless Business Days are expressly prescribed. Any
period determined hereunder by reference to a month or months or year or years
shall end on the day in the relevant calendar month in the relevant year, if
applicable, immediately preceding the date numerically corresponding to the
first day of such subsequent period, provided that if such period commences on
the last day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month during which such period is to end),
such period shall, unless otherwise expressly required by the other provisions
of this Agreement, end on the last day of the calendar month.
1.3. ACCOUNTING TERMS. Subject to Section 6.12, for purposes of this
Agreement, all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in conformity with GAAP.
1.4. OTHER TERMS. All other terms contained in this Agreement shall,
unless the context indicates otherwise, have the meanings assigned to such terms
by the Uniform Commercial Code to the extent the same are defined therein.
SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS
2.1. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.
(a) AVAILABILITY. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, each Lender hereby severally and not jointly agrees to make
revolving loans in Dollars (each individually, a "LOAN" and, collectively, the
"LOANS") to any Borrower from time to time during the period from the Initial
Funding Date to the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit Termination
Date, in an amount not to exceed such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving
Credit Availability at such time. All Loans comprising the same Borrowing under
this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately
to their then respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender
shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its
obligation to make a Loan hereunder nor shall the Revolving Credit Commitment of
any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any such failure. Subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, any Borrower may repay any outstanding Loan on
any day which is a Business Day and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed by
any Borrower, up to the amount available under this Section 2.1(a), at the time
of such Borrowing, until the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.
2
8
(b) REVOLVING CREDIT TERMINATION DATE. The Revolving Credit
Commitment shall terminate, and all outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations
shall be paid in full (or, in the case of unmatured Letter of Credit
Obligations, provision for payment in cash shall be made to the satisfaction of
the Issuing Banks and the Requisite Lenders), on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. Each Lender's obligation to make Loans shall terminate on the
Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
(c) EXTENSION OF REVOLVING CREDIT TERMINATION DATE. If no Default or
Event of Default then exists, Borrowers' Agent may request two-year extensions
of the then-existing Revolving Credit Termination Date by making such request in
writing (an "EXTENSION REQUEST") to Agent no earlier than January 1st and no
later than April 1st of the calendar year immediately preceding the
then-existing Revolving Credit Termination Date. The then-existing Revolving
Credit Termination Date shall be extended for two (2) years only if (i) Agent
and each Lender consents in writing to such extension no later than June 1st of
the year in which the Extension Request is received and (ii) Borrowers' Agent
pays to Agent the extension fee set forth in Section 2.14(c) no later than June
15th of such year. The failure to respond by Agent or any Lender to an Extension
Request shall be deemed to be a denial of such consent.
(d) MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, in no event shall the Outstanding Amount exceed the Maximum
Availability.
(e) AUTHORIZED AGENTS. On the Closing Date and from time to time
thereafter, the Borrowers' Agent shall deliver to the Agent a certificate from a
Responsible Officer setting forth the names of the employees and agents
authorized to request Loans and Letters of Credit for each Borrower and to
request a conversion/continuation of any Loan and containing a specimen
signature of each such employee or agent. The employees and agents so authorized
shall also be authorized to act for any Borrower in respect of all other matters
relating to the Loan Documents. The Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on such employee's or agent's authority to request
such Loan or Letter of Credit or such conversion/continuation until the Agent,
Lenders and Issuing Banks receive written notice to the contrary. None of the
Agent, the Lenders, or the Issuing Banks shall have any duty to verify the
authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation or any other document, and, with respect to an
oral request for such a Loan or Letter of Credit or such
conversion/continuation, the Agent shall have no duty to verify the identity of
any person representing himself or herself as one of the employees or agents
authorized to make such request or otherwise to act on behalf of such Borrower.
None of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall incur any liability to
any Borrower or any other Person in acting upon any telephonic or facsimile
notice referred to above which the Agent, such Lender, or such Issuing Bank
believes to have been given by a person duly authorized to act on behalf of such
Borrower and such Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Agent, each
Lender and each Issuing Bank from any loss or expense Agent, Lenders and/or the
Issuing Banks might incur in acting in good faith as provided in this Section
2.1.

2.2. PROMISE TO REPAY; EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS.
(a) PROMISE TO REPAY. Each Borrower hereby, jointly and severally,
agrees to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan, and further agrees to
pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Notes. Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender
on the Closing Date, a joint and several promissory note, substantially in the
form of Exhibit B, with appropriate insertions, evidencing the Loans and
thereafter shall execute and deliver such other promissory notes substantially
in the form of Exhibit B as are necessary to evidence the Loans owing to the
Lenders after giving effect to any assignment thereof pursuant to Section 10.1,
(all such promissory notes and all amendments thereto, replacements thereof and
substitutions therefor being collectively referred to as the "NOTES"; and "NOTE"
means any one of the NOTES).
(b) LOAN RECORDS. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice a record (a "LOAN ACCOUNT") evidencing the Indebtedness of the
Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time
to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time hereunder and under the Notes.
(c) CONTROL SUB-REGISTER. The Register maintained by the Agent
pursuant to Section 10.1(c) shall include a sub-register for each Lender, in
which shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made
hereunder, the type of Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Eurodollar
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties
thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder or under the
Notes and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from any Borrower
hereunder and each Lender's share thereof.
(d) ENTRIES BINDING. The entries made in the Register and each Loan
Account shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(e) BORROWERS' OBLIGATIONS.
(i) Upon any Event of Default each Borrower jointly, severally and
unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent such amounts as are necessary to
cure the Event of Default or, at the option of the Agent, such Borrower agrees
to pay the outstanding Obligations in full.
(ii) Each Borrower's Obligation is unconditional except as expressly
set forth herein, and each Borrower agrees that the Agent, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, shall not be required to assert any claim or cause of
action against the Borrowers' Agent or any other Borrower before asserting any
claim or cause of action against a specific Borrower under this Agreement. Each
Borrower further agrees that the Agent shall not be required to pursue or
foreclose on any Collateral that it may receive from any Borrower as security
for any of the Obligations before making a claim or asserting a cause of action
against a specific Borrower under this Agreement.
4
10
(iii) The failure of Agent to record any Security Document, or
Agent's improper recording or filing thereof, or Agent's failure to otherwise
perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien in any
Collateral given as security for the Obligations or any other collateral now or
hereafter securing all or any part of the Obligations shall not release any
Borrower from its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement.
(iv) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the
Mortgages or Loan Documents, presentment, protest, demand, and notice of protest
and demand, and notice of receipt of any and all Collateral, and of the exercise
of possessory remedies or foreclosure on any and all Collateral received by
Agent from any Borrower are hereby waived.
(v) No Borrower's Obligation under this Agreement shall be affected,
modified, or impaired by the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets,
marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangements,
composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings
affecting any other Borrower or the Borrowers' Agent, or any of the assets
belonging to any of them, nor shall this Agreement be affected, modified, or
impaired by the invalidity of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
(vi) Without notice to any other Borrower or the Borrower's Agent,
without the consent of a specific Borrower or Borrowers' Agent, the Agent may:
(a) grant a specific Borrower extensions of the time for payment of
the Obligations or any part hereof;
(b) renew any of the Obligations;
(c) grant a specific Borrower extensions of time for performance of
agreements or other indulgences;
(d) at any time release any or all of the Collateral, or any
mortgage, deed of trust or security interest in any Collateral, that now or
hereafter secures any of the Obligations;
(e) compromise, settle, release, or terminate any or all of the
obligations, covenants, or agreements of any specific Borrower under the Note or
other Loan Documents;
(f) at any time release any guarantor from its guarantee of any of
the Obligations; and
(g) with a specific Borrower's written consent, modify or amend any
obligation, covenant, or agreement of such Borrower as set forth in its Note or
any of the other Loan Documents (and such amendments shall nevertheless be
binding upon the other Borrowers).
(vii) This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at time any whole or partial payment or
performance of any Obligations is or is sought to be
5
11
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent or any Lender
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of
any Borrower upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor,
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or for any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments and
performance had not been made, in any case to the extent of the performance
rescinded or payments restored or returned. This Agreement and each Borrower's
Obligations hereunder shall not be affected in any way by the transfer or other
disposition of any of the Collateral described in and granted to Agent pursuant
to the Loan Documents, whether by deed, operation of law, or otherwise except to
the extent such Collateral is released in accordance with the terms hereof.
(viii) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or
any Security Document to the contrary, in the event of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding involving LGP-1, LCIFII or North Tampa or in the event of
any challenge to the full enforceability of all or any of the Loan Documents by
any creditor of LGP-1, LCIFII or North Tampa or a trustee, receiver or
debtor-in-possession of, for or in respect of LGP-1, LCIFII or North Tampa, the
liability of LGP-1, LCIFII or North Tampa under the Security Documents shall be
limited to the lesser of the following amounts minus, in either case, one dollar
($1.00):
(a) the lowest amount which would render LGP-1, LCIFII or North
Tampa's undertakings under the Security Documents a fraudulent conveyance under
the laws of the State of Connecticut or other similar or analogous law or
statute of the state having jurisdiction over the subject matter; or
(b) the lowest amount which would render LGP-1, LCIFII or North
Tampa's undertakings under the Security Documents a fraudulent transfer under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended.
Section 2.2 (e) (viii) shall control every other provision of the
Security Documents except, however, this provision shall not be construed to
prohibit a valuation of the assets of LGP-1, LCIFII or North Tampa for an amount
exceeding (a) or (b) above, minus $1.00, at a date subsequent to the date
hereof, whereupon the individual liability of LGP-1, LCIFII or North Tampa under
the Security Documents shall increase with the value of such assets up to a
maximum of $60,000,000.

12
2.3. PROCEDURE FOR BORROWING UNDER THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
(a) NOTICE OF BORROWING. Whenever any Borrower desires to borrow
under Section 2.1, Borrowers' Agent shall deliver to Agent a notice of borrowing
(a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") substantially in the form of Exhibit C accompanied by
a Certificate of Eligible Properties and Maximum Availability, substantially in
the form of Exhibit D and a Certificate of Current Availability substantially in
the form of Exhibit E no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York time) at least five (5)
Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date for any Eurodollar Loan
and no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Funding
Date for any Base Rate Loan. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify and include
(as appropriate):
(i) the Borrower and proposed Funding Date (which shall be a
Business Day);
(ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing (which amount shall be in
a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in
excess of that amount);
(iii) whether such Loans will be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans
and, if Eurodollar Loans are specified, the initial Interest Period requested
for such Eurodollar Loans;
(iv) the account into which the net proceeds of the requested
Borrowing is to be credited;
(v) a statement as to whether the representations and warranties
contained in the Loan Documents are true, correct and accurate in all material
respects to the same extent as though made on and as of the date of such Notice
of Borrowing;
(vi) a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would result from the proposed Borrowing; and
(vii) a statement as to whether the amount of the proposed Borrowing
will cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans to exceed the
Maximum Availability currently in effect. Subject to the provisions of Section
2.6, in the event that any Lender shall fail to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
Loan on or prior to the applicable Funding Date and the Agent and/or the other
Lenders shall fail to advance the defaulted amount, Borrowers' Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) cancel such Notice of Borrowing upon notice to Agent
given no later than 2:00 p.m. (EST) on the Funding Date. Agent shall give
Borrowers' Agent notice of any Lender's default as soon as practicable after
Agent becomes aware of such default. Except as otherwise provided in the
immediately foregoing sentence or in Sections 2.11 and 2.12, a Notice of
Borrowing shall be irrevocable, and the Borrowers shall be bound to make the
borrowing specified in such Notice of Borrowing in accordance therewith.
If Borrowers' Agent fails to specify the type of Loan (i.e. Base
Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan) or an Initial Interest Period, Borrowers' Agent
will be deemed, in each case, to have requested a Base Rate Loan.
7
13
(b) MAKING OF LOANS. (i) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Borrowing under Section 2.3(a), the Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile
transmission of the proposed Borrowing and send each Lender a copy of the Notice
of Borrowing including exhibits. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to
its Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing requested by the Borrowers' Agent with the
Agent at its office in Providence, Rhode Island or such other office as Agent
shall designate from time to time, in immediately available funds, not later
than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the respective Funding Date therefor. Subject
to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 or
Section 5.2, as applicable, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts
received by it available to the Borrowers' Agent at the Agent's office in
Providence, Rhode Island on such Funding Date (or on the date received if later
than such Funding Date) and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance with the
Borrowers' Agent's disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice
of Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described above
with the Agent on the applicable Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender
of its obligations hereunder to make its Loan on such Funding Date. In the event
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 are not
fulfilled as of the proposed Funding Date for any Borrowing, the Agent shall
promptly return, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount
deposited by each Lender to such Lender.
(ii) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender on the
Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Funding Date in respect of any
Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to fund its Loan requested to be made
on such Funding Date, the Agent may assume that such Lender has funded its Loan
and is depositing the proceeds thereof with the Agent on the Funding Date
therefor, and the Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated
to, disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrowers' Agent on the applicable
Funding Date. If the Loan proceeds corresponding to that amount are advanced to
the Borrowers' Agent by the Agent but are not in fact deposited with the Agent
by such Lender on or prior to the applicable Funding Date, such Lender agrees to
pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed to or for
the benefit of the Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the
Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) Business Days, and
thereafter at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender
shall pay to the Agent the corresponding amount, the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender's Loan. This Section 2.3(b)(ii) does not relieve any
Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on any applicable Funding Date.
2.4. INTEREST ON THE LOANS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
(a) GENERALLY. Each Loan shall be (i) a Eurodollar Loan or a Base
Rate Loan as selected or deemed to have been selected by Borrowers' Agent
initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given pursuant to Section 2.3(a);
or (ii) as selected pursuant to Section 2.5(c); except in each case for any
portion of a Eurodollar Loan which is converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.11 or 2.12. All Loans and the outstanding principal balance of all
other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof
from the date such Loans are made and such other Obligations are due and payable
until paid in full but excluding the date
8
14
of repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise), at the interest rates (such
interest rate(s) as may be in effect from time to time, the "APPLICABLE
RATE(S)") specified as follows:
(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, at an interest rate per
annum for and during each Interest Period equal to the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period; and
(v) in the case of the Base Rate Loan or such other
Obligation, at an interest rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in
effect from time to time.
The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall be
selected by the Borrowers' Agent at the time a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice
of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Borrowers' Agent to the Agent;
provided, however, the Borrowers' Agent may not select the Eurodollar Rate as
the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such a Loan if at
the time of such selection a Default or Event of Default would occur from such
Borrowing or conversion or continuation or has occurred and is continuing and
further provided that, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, each Eurodollar Loan then outstanding may, at the
Agent's option, convert to a Base Rate Loan. If on any day any Loan is
outstanding with respect to which a Notice of Continuation/Conversion has not
been delivered to the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then for
that day interest on that Loan shall be determined by reference to the Base
Rate.
(b) INTEREST PAYMENTS. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be
calculated on the 1st day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears
(A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day
following the making of such Loan, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in
full or in part, and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at maturity (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan. Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder or under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any
principal of or interest on any Loan, shall become due and payable, or whenever
the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur, on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made and the last day of such Interest
Period shall occur on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in computing interest on such payment.
(ii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of any
outstanding Reimbursement Obligations shall be calculated on the last day of
each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of the
calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of
such Reimbursement Obligations, (B) upon repayment thereof in full or in part,
and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Reimbursement
Obligations become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(c) LATE CHARGE; DEFAULT INTEREST. If the Borrowers shall fail to
make any payment of principal or interest on any portion of a Loan or any other
Obligation becoming due, hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents within ten
(10) days of the date such payment is due Borrowers shall be subject to a late
charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. Borrowers shall be
entitled to a one-time waiver of the late charge prior to the
9
15
Revolving Credit Termination Date. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall pay interest (to the extent
permitted by law in the case of interest on overdue interest) on such defaulted
amount accruing from and including the date of such Event of Default up to but
excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a
rate per annum which is the sum of (i) four percent (4%) plus (ii) the
Applicable Rate otherwise payable. All payments due under this Section 2.4(c)
shall be payable upon demand.
(d) INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION. Upon determining the Applicable
Rate for each Interest Period, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers' Agent.
2.5. DURATION AND DETERMINATION OF INTEREST PERIOD; DETERMINATION OF
INTEREST RATE; CONTINUATION/CONVERSION OF LOANS
(a) DURATION AND DETERMINATION OF INTEREST PERIOD. By giving notice
as set forth in Section 2.3(a) (with respect to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans)
or Section 2.5(c) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar Loans), Borrowers' Agent shall have the option, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 2.5, to select an interest period (each, an "INTEREST
PERIOD") to apply to the Loans described in such notice, subject to the
following provisions:
(i) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, the Borrowers' Agent may
select, as to a particular Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, an Interest Period of
either one (1), three (3) or six (6) months in duration; provided, however, that
if Agent's syndication of not less than $35,000,000 of the Revolving Credit
Commitments does not close on the Closing Date, Borrowers' Agent shall not be
entitled to select an Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Loan in excess
of one (1) month's duration until four (4) months after the Closing Date unless
otherwise permitted by the Agent;
(ii) In the case of immediately successive Interest Periods
applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, each successive Interest Period
shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;
(iii) If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which
is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the
next succeeding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day occurs in the
same calendar month, and if there will be no succeeding Business Day in such
calendar month, the Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding
Business Day;
(iv) Borrowers' Agent may not select an Interest Period as to any
Loan if such Interest Period terminates later than the Revolving Credit
Termination Date;
(v) Borrowers' Agent may not select an Interest Period with respect
to any portion of principal of a Loan which extends beyond a date on which any
Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of principal;
and
10
16
(vi) There shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods in
effect at any one time for any Eurodollar Loans, Base Rate Loans or any
combination of the two.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers' Agent shall be entitled to
select an Interest Period of less than one (1) month in the event it wishes to
combine one or more Eurodollar Loans into a single Interest Period.
If Borrowers' Agent fails to specify an Interest Period in any
Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers' Agent shall be deemed to have selected a Base
Rate Loan; provided that if Borrowers' Agent subsequently provides Agent with a
new Notice of Borrowing properly specifying an Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Loan, such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Eurodollar Loan in
accordance with the requirements for a continuation/conversion under Section 2.5
(c).
(b) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE. As soon as practicable on the
second Business Day prior to the first day of each Interest Period (the
"INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION DATE"), the Agent shall determine (pursuant to the
procedures set forth in the definition OF "EURODOLLAR RATE") the interest rate
which shall apply to the Eurodollar Loans for which an interest rate is then
being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give
notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the
Borrowers' Agent and to each Lender. The Agent's determination shall be presumed
to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon each Borrower.
Any failure by any Lender to take into account the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage
when calculating interest due on Eurodollar Loans shall not constitute, whether
by course of dealing or otherwise, a waiver by such Lender of its right to
collect such amount for any future period.
(c) CONVERSION/CONTINUATION OF LOANS.
(i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.11 and 2.12, Borrowers'
Agent shall have the option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of
outstanding Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or (B) to convert all or any
part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans having Interest Periods which expire on the
same date to Base Rate Loans on such expiration date; or (C) to continue all or
any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans having Interest Periods which expire on
the same date as Eurodollar Loans, and the succeeding Interest Period of such
continued Loans shall commence on such expiration date; provided, however, no
such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar
Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of
the provisions of Section 2.11 or 2.12 or (ii) if a Default or Event of Default
would occur as a result thereof or has occurred and is continuing. Any
conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section
2.5(c) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess of that amount, except in the case of a conversion into or a
continuation of an entire Borrowing of Non Pro Rata Loans.
(ii) To convert or continue a Loan, Borrowers' Agent shall deliver a
Notice of Continuation/Conversion substantially in the form of Exhibit F to
Agent no later than 10:00
11
17
A.M. (New York City time) at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the
proposed continuation/conversion date in the case of a conversion to, or a
continuation of, Eurodollar Loans or at least one (1) Business Day in advance of
the proposed continuation/conversion date in the case of a conversion to a Base
Rate Loan. A Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall specify (A) the proposed
continuation/conversion date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the principal
amount of the Loans to be continued/converted, (C) whether such Loan shall be
converted and/or continued, (D) in the case of a continuation of, or conversion
to, a Eurodollar Loan, the requested Interest Period, (E) that the
representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true, correct
and accurate in all material respects to the same extent as though made on and
as of the date of such Notice of Continuation/Conversion, and (F) that no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from
the proposed continuation/conversion.
Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation the
Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission of the proposed
conversion/continuation. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.11 and 2.12,
a Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be irrevocable on and after the
related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrowers shall be bound to effect
a continuation and/or conversion (as applicable) in accordance therewith.
No more than eight (8) Eurodollar Loans, Base Rate Loans or any
combination of the two may be outstanding at any one time.
If Borrowers' Agent fails to give a valid Notice of
Continuation/Conversion in respect of any portion of a Eurodollar Loan which is
not repaid in accordance with the terms hereof at the end of the relevant
Interest Period, such portion shall be converted automatically into a Base Rate
Loan; provided that if Borrowers' Agent subsequently gives a valid Notice of
Continuation/Conversion in respect of such Base Rate Loan, it shall be converted
into a Eurodollar Loan in accordance with the requirements for a
continuation/conversion under this Section 2.5.
2.6. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS; MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS
(a) Subject to Section 2.6(c), Borrowers may, at their option,
prepay any Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Period,
in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business
Days' prior written notice to Agent, specifying the amount of prepayment. Base
Rate Loans may be prepaid on one Business Days' prior written notice to Agent.
Each notice of prepayment pursuant to this clause (a) shall be irrevocable and
the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified, together with accrued interest to such date on the Loans and all
amounts (if any) payable pursuant to Section 2.13. Partial prepayments of the
Loans pursuant to this clause (a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$100,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
(b) The Loans shall be subject to certain mandatory repricing
pursuant to and upon the occurrence of the events described in the provisions of
Sections 2.11 and 2.12.
12
18
(c) If at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date
(except as a result of the failure of a Property to continue to qualify as an
Eligible Property solely due to the failure of an Approved Tenant to maintain
its Minimum Required Tenant Credit Rating) the Outstanding Amount exceeds
Maximum Availability (hereinafter "EXCESS OUTSTANDINGS") (which event,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, shall be a Default), Borrowers
shall within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date Agent notifies Borrowers'
Agent of same reduce the Outstanding Amount to an amount that is equal to or
less than Maximum Availability.
(d) If at any time a Property fails to continue to qualify as an
Eligible Property solely as a result of an Approved Tenant failing to maintain
the Minimum Required Tenant Credit Rating and this results in Excess
Outstandings, Borrowers shall be required to make monthly principal payments
based on the amount of such Excess Outstandings. Such monthly principal payments
shall be calculated based on a five-year straight line amortization schedule and
shall commence ninety (90) days from the date an Eligible Property ceased to
qualify as an Eligible Property for such reason, (unless the Excess Outstandings
have been eliminated by Requisite Lender's approval and acceptance of another
Eligible Property as Collateral, or otherwise during such period), with all
unpaid principal and/or interest arising under such circumstances due and
payable in full on the next occurring Revolving Credit Termination Date without
taking into account any extension rights.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any subsequent event occurs which
would have resulted in such Property losing its status as an Eligible Property
under the terms of Section 2.16(a)(i), (ii) and (c), the provisions of Section
2.6(c) shall apply immediately.
(e) Subject to the application of the provisions of Section 2.8,
Borrowers' Agent may designate the application of any prepayments to be applied
to principal on the Loans to the Eurodollar Loans, and/or Base Rate Loans, as it
may select, provided that if Borrowers' Agent does not designate such
application, such prepayments shall be applied (i) first to outstanding Base
Rate Loans, and (ii) second to outstanding Eurodollar Loans.
2.7. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. Interest, fees and other
amounts calculated on the basis of a rate per annum shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing
interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of an
Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment
or the expiration date of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be
excluded; provided, however, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is
made, one (1) day's interest shall be paid on such Loan.
2.8. PAYMENTS. (a) MANNER AND TIME OF PAYMENT. All payments of
principal of and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and other
Obligations (including, without limitation, fees and expenses) which are payable
to the Agent, the Lenders or any Issuing Bank shall be made without condition or
reservation of right, in immediately available funds, delivered to the Agent
(or, in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, to the pertinent Issuing Bank)
not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date and at the place due, to
such account of the Agent (or such Issuing Bank) as it may designate, for the
account of the Agent, the
13
19
Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be; and funds received by the
Agent, including, without limitation, funds in respect of any Loans to be made
on that date, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any given Business Day
shall be credited against payment to be made that day and, for purposes of
calculation of interest, funds received by the Agent after that time shall be
deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments actually
received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or
any of them, shall be paid to them by the Agent promptly after receipt thereof.
(b) APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS. (i) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.8(b)(v) and Section 2.8(b)(vi), all payments of principal and interest
in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments in respect of Reimbursement
Obligations, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other
Obligations, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuing Banks as
are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or
otherwise as provided herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(b)(ii),
all such payments and any other amounts received by the Agent from or for the
benefit of the Borrowers shall be applied in the following order:
(A) to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the
Loans which the Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for
which the Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or any
Borrower,
(B) to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and
(C) as the Borrowers' Agent so designates.
Unless otherwise designated by the Borrowers' Agent, all principal payments in
respect of Loans shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Base Rate Loans,
and then to repay outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar Rate
Loans which have earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior
to those which have later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods.
(ii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and while the
same is continuing, the Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any
Obligations in the following order:
(A) first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of
the Loans which the Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender
for which the Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or
any Borrower;
(B) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any reasonable
fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Agent;
(C) third, to pay principal of and interest on Letter of
Credit Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are
contingent, deposited with the Agent to provide cash collateral in
respect of such Obligations which cash collateral shall be released
and
14
20
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.8(b) in
the event such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn upon);
(D) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees,
expenses reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks;
(E) fifth, to pay interest due in respect of Loans;
(F) sixth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal
outstanding on Loans; and
(G) seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.
The order of priority set forth in this Section 2.8(b)(ii) and the related
provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and
priorities of the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and other Holders as
among themselves; provided, however, if such application is other than in
accordance with the express designation of Borrowers' Agent, Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to Borrowers' Agent. The order of priority set forth in
clauses (C) through (G) of this Section 2.8(b)(ii) may at any time and from time
to time be changed by the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or
consent of or approval by any Borrower, and Holder which is not a Lender, or any
other Person. The order of priority set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this
Section 2.8(b)(ii) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the
Agent.
(iii) The Agent, in its sole discretion subject only to the
terms of this Section 2.8(b)(iii), may pay from the proceeds of Loans made to
the Borrower hereunder if made pursuant to a deemed request as provided in this
Section 2.8(b)(iii), all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder, including,
without limitation, amounts payable with respect to payments of principal,
interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees and all reimbursements for expenses
pursuant to Section 10.13 in any case, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default with respect to nonpayment of such amounts.
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lenders to make Loans, which
Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, in each case, upon notice from the Agent as
described in the following sentence for the purpose of paying principal,
interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees due from any Borrower, reimbursing
expenses pursuant to Section 10.13 and paying any and all other amounts due and
payable by any Borrower hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan
Document, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default with respect to nonpayment of such amounts, and agrees that all such
Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it pursuant to Section
2.1 as of the date of the aforementioned notice. The Agent shall request Loans
on behalf of the Borrowers as described in the preceding sentence by notifying
the Lenders by facsimile transmission or other similar form of transmission
(which notice the Agent shall thereafter promptly transmit to the Borrowers), of
the amount and Funding Date of the proposed Borrowing and that such Borrowing is
being requested on the Borrowers' behalf pursuant to this Section 2.8(b)(iii).
On the proposed Funding Date, the Lenders shall make the requested Loans in
accordance with the procedures and subject to the conditions
15
21
specified in Section 2.1. Any Loans made under this Section 2.8(b)(iii) shall
cure the Event of Default for which such Loans were advanced to the extent such
Event of Default can be cured by the payment of money and the making of such a
Loan does not create a Default or Event of Default.
(iv) Subject to Section 2.8(b)(v), the Agent shall promptly
distribute to each Lender and Issuing Bank at its primary address set forth on
the appropriate signature page hereof or the signature page to the Assignment
and Acceptance by which it became a Lender or Issuing Bank, or at such other
address as a Lender, an Issuing Bank or other Holder may request in writing,
such funds as such Person may be entitled to receive, subject to the provisions
of Section 9; provided that the Agent shall under no circumstances be bound to
inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or
entitlement of any Holder and may suspend all payments or seek appropriate
relief (including, without limitation, instructions from the Requisite Lenders
or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute
as to any apportionate or distribution contemplated hereby.
(v) In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of
any Loan requested by any Borrower (provided Borrowers' Agent has not cancelled
its Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.3(a)(vii)) which such Lender is
obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such
Loan being hereinafter referred to as a "NON PRO RATA LOAN"), until the earlier
of such Lender's cure of such failure and the termination of the Revolving
Credit Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Agent
by the Borrowers and otherwise required to be applied to such Lender's share of
all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced
to the Borrowers by the Agent on behalf of such Lender to cure, in full or in
part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been
paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
(A) the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8(b)(v) shall
apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations
and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans
pursuant to Section 2.5(c);
(B) a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund
its Pro Rata Share of any Loan at such time as an amount equal to
such Lender's original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal
portion of such Loan is fully funded to the Borrower, whether made
by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section
2.8(b)(v), and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect
thereto has been repaid, converted or continued;
16
22
(C) amounts advanced to the Borrower to cure, in full or in
part, any such Lender's failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
Loan ("CURE LOANS") shall, at the election of Borrowers' Agent (made
on the dates such amounts are advanced pursuant to this Section
2.8(b)(v), either bear interest at the Base Rate or shall be
Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods of either one (1), three (3)
or six (6) months in effect from time to time, and for all other
purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Base
Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans; and
(D) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of
the Borrowers' Agent as to its desired application, all repayments
of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this
Section 2.8, would be applied to the outstanding Base Rate Loans
shall be applied first, ratably to all Base Rate Loans constituting
Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Base Rate Loans other than
those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third,
ratably to Base Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans.
(vi) In the event a Lender (a "Designated Lender") shall have
requested additional compensation from any Borrower under Sections 2.10, 2.11 or
2.12, the Borrowers' Agent may, at its sole election, (a) make written demand on
such Designated Lender (with a copy to the Agent) for the Designated Lender to
make reasonable efforts to assign, and such Designated Lender shall assign
pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances to one or more
Eligible Assignees which the Borrowers' Agent shall have identified for such
purpose, all of such Designated Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the Notes (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit
Commitment, all Loans owing to it, and all of its participation interests in
Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 10.1 or (b) repay all Loans owing
to the Designated Lender together with interest accrued with respect thereto the
date of such repayment and all fees and other charges accrued or payable under
the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of the Designated Lender to the date
of such repayment and remit to the Agent to be held as cash collateral an amount
equal to the participation interest of the Designated Lender in Letters of
Credit. Any such repayment and remittance shall be for the sole credit of the
Designated Lender and not for any other Lender. All expenses incurred by the
Agent in connection with the foregoing shall be for the sole account of the
Borrowers and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. In no event shall
Borrowers Agents' election under the provisions of this Section 2.8(b)(vi)
affect any Borrower's obligation to pay the additional compensation required
under either Sections 2.10, 2.11 or Section 2.12.
(c) PAYMENTS ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be made
by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes is stated to be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding
Business Day (or, as set forth in Section 2.4(b), the next preceding Business
Day), and any such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the
payment of interest and fees hereunder.
2.9. USE OF PROCEEDS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT. Except for any amounts
advanced by Agent under Section 2.8(b)(iii), the proceeds of the Loans and the
Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower hereunder shall be used
directly (or indirectly in the case of Letters of
17
23
Credit) only (i) to refinance existing indebtedness (ii) to provide interim
financing for new income-producing properties; (iii) to fund leasehold
improvements; (iv) for the renovation or expansion of income-producing
properties and (v) for working capital purposes.
2.10. INCREASED COSTS.
(a) If any change in existing law or future applicable law, which
expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder
and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or
other regulatory body or official 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 Lender
by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not
having the force of law), shall:
(i) subject such Lender to any tax, levy, impost, duty,
charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, Revolving Credit Commitment or the Loans (other
than Excluded Taxes); or
(ii) materially change the basis of taxation (except for
changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to such Lender of the
principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to such
Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; or
(iii) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to
the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) 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 such Lender;
or
(iv) impose on any party any other conditions or requirements
with respect to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Loans, the Revolving
Credit Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the
Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment forms a part;
and the result of any of the foregoing is:
(A) to increase the cost to such Lender of making, funding,
issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or its Pro Rata
Share thereof; or
(B) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other
amount payable to such Lender hereunder on account of its Pro Rata Share of any
of the Loans; or
(C) to require such Lender to make any payment or to forgo 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 Lender from the Borrowers hereunder, then,
and in each such case, the Borrowers will, within

thirty (30) days after demand made by such Lender at any time and from time to
time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender, such
additional amounts as such Lender shall determine in good faith will be
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional cost, reduction,
payment or foregone interest or other sum.
(b) If any change in existing law or future law, governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with
appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and as a result thereof a
Lender determines in good faith that the amount of capital required to be
maintained by it must be increased as a result of the Loans made or deemed to be
made pursuant hereto, then such Lender may notify the Borrowers' Agent of such
fact, and the Borrowers' Agent shall pay to such Lender from time to time within
30 days after demand, as an additional fee payable hereunder, such amount as
such Lender shall determine in good faith and certify in a notice to the
Borrowers' Agent to be an amount that will adequately compensate such Lender in
light of these circumstances for its increased costs of maintaining such
capital.
2.11. CHANGE IN LAW RENDERING EURODOLLAR LOANS UNLAWFUL.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event that any
Requirements of Law or any change in any existing Requirements of Law or in the
interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
administration thereof, in any case adopted, issued or effective after the date
hereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to fund any portion of the
Eurodollar Loans or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby
with respect to its making Eurodollar Loans Agent shall, upon the happening of
such event, notify Borrowers' Agent thereof in writing stating the reason
therefor and the effective date of such event, and upon the effectiveness of any
such event the obligation of such Lender to make or maintain its Eurodollar
Loans to any Borrower shall forthwith be suspended for the duration of such
illegality and during such illegality such Lender shall, upon payment of any
amounts owing under Section 2.13 with respect to such conversion, convert its
share of the Eurodollar Loans to (upon effectiveness of any such event and
during the continuance of such event) Base Rate Loans. If and when such
illegality with respect thereto ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease and
Agent shall notify Borrowers' Agent that the Base Rate Loan into which such
share of the Eurodollar Loans was converted pursuant to this Section 2.11 was
converted to a Eurodollar Loan, respectively, on the first day of the next
succeeding Interest Period.
2.12. EURODOLLAR AVAILABILITY. In the event, and on each occasion,
that on the Business Day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for the Eurodollar Loans, Agent shall have determined in good
faith (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that U.S. Dollar deposits in the amount
of the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans which is to have such Interest
Period are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the
rate at which such U.S. Dollar deposits are being offered will not accurately
reflect the cost to any Lender making or funding such principal amount of such
Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, Agent shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, give written or telephonic notice of such determination to
Borrowers' Agent and (i)
19
25
such principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted,
as of the last day of the Interest Period during which such determination is
made, to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any request by Borrowers' Agent for such
Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall thereupon, and until the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (as notified by Agent
to Borrowers' Agent) be deemed a request for the making of Base Rate Loans. If
at any time Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon
Borrowers) that any contingency has occurred which adversely affects the London
interbank market or that any Requirement of Law or any change in any existing
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation thereof, in any case adopted, issued
or effective after the date hereof, or other circumstance affecting any Lender
or the London interbank market makes the funding of the Eurodollar Loans
impracticable, Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or
telephonic notice of such determination to Borrowers' Agent and (i) the
Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted, as of the last day of each
Interest Period during which such determination is made and in each case in
respect of the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans having an Interest
Period ending on such date, to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any request by
Borrowers' Agent for the Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall
thereupon, and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist (as notified by Agent to Borrowers' Agent), be deemed a request for the
making of Base Rate Loans. Upon such circumstances no longer existing,
Borrowers' Agent may thereafter request Eurodollar Loans in accordance with the
terms hereof.
2.13. INDEMNITIES. Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees
to indemnify Agent and each Lender and each Issuing Bank on demand against any
actual loss or expense (including but not limited to any loss or expense
sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing or redeploying deposits from
third parties acquired to effect or maintain any Loan or any portion thereof
other than loss of profit or margin) which any Lender or its branch or Affiliate
may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any default in payment or
prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any portion thereof or
interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof,
by irrevocable notice of payment or prepayment, or otherwise), (ii) the effect
of the occurrence of any Event of Default upon any Loan, (iii) the payment or
prepayment of any principal amount of any Loan or the conversion of any portion
of any Eurodollar Loan to Base Rate Loans on any day other than the last day of
an Interest Period or the payment of any interest on such Loan, or portion
thereof, on a day other than an Interest Payment Date for the Loan or (iv) any
failure of any Borrower to accept or make a borrowing of the Loans or continue
or convert a Loan after delivery of a notice requesting a Loan under Section 2.3
or, as the case may be, a notice requesting a continuation or conversion under
Section 2.5(c) or any failure by any Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions
precedent to the making of Loans hereunder after it has requested the borrowing
thereof (other than any such conditions that are waived in accordance with the
provisions hereof). The determination of Agent of any amount payable under this
Section 2.13 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
upon each Borrower.
20

2.14. FEES.
(a) STANDBY FEE. The Borrowers' Agent shall pay to the Agent, for
the account of the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the
"STANDBY FEE"), accruing at a per annum rate equal to one-eighth of one percent
(.125%) per annum on the daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment
exceeds the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, plus (ii)
the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, plus (iii) the aggregate undrawn face
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, for the period commencing on the
Closing Date and ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, such fee being
payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing on the first day of the calendar
quarter next succeeding the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by
the Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this
Agreement, (A) such Lender shall not be entitled to any Standby Fees with
respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment until such failure has been cured in
accordance with Section 2.8(b)(v)(B) and (B) until such time, the Standby Fee
shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata
Shares of such requested Loan, shall be allocated among such performing Lenders
ratably based upon their relative Revolving Credit Commitments, and shall be
calculated based upon the average amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments of such performing Lenders exceeds the sum of (I) the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans owing to such performing Lenders, plus (II) the
outstanding Reimbursement Obligations owing to such performing Lenders, plus
(III) the aggregate participation interests of such performing Lenders arising
pursuant to Section 3.1(e) with respect to undrawn and outstanding Letters of
Credit. The Standby Fee shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed in a 360-day year.
(b) LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. In addition to any charges paid pursuant
to Section 3.1(g), the Borrowers' Agent shall pay to the Agent, for the account
of the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the "LETTER OF
CREDIT FEE") accruing at a per annum rate equal to one percent (1%) of the
undrawn face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit and payable monthly, in
advance, on the date such Letter of Credit is issued and the first day of each
calendar month thereafter; provided, however, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default and for so long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing,
the rate at which the Letter of Credit Fee shall accrue and be payable shall be
equal to three percent (3%) per annum.
(c) EXTENSION FEE. Upon each extension of the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, as provided in Section 2.1(c), Borrowers' Agent agrees to pay
Agent on or before the existing Revolving Credit Termination Date for the
account of Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, an extension fee
equal to three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) of the Revolving Credit
Commitments.
(d) CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES. All such fees shall be payable
in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest, expense reimbursements,
indemnification and other Obligations. Fees shall be payable to the Agent in
immediately available funds. All fees shall be fully earned and nonrefundable
when paid. All fees specified or referred to in this Agreement due to the Agent,
any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including, without limitation, those referred to
in this Section
21
27
2.14, shall bear interest at the interest rate specified in Section 2.4(c) upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to
the nonpayment thereof and shall constitute Obligations.
2.15. USURY. If the rate of interest payable by any Borrower under
this Agreement, any Note or the Loan Documents shall be or become usurious or
otherwise unlawful under laws applicable thereto, the interest rate shall be
reduced to the maximum lawful rate and any amount paid by such Borrower in
excess of the maximum lawful rate shall be considered a payment in reduction of
principal or, at the sole election of the Agent, shall be returned to such
Borrower.

be at all times:

(B) all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any Letter
of Credit shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans in accordance with Section 2.4(a) from the date of the
relevant drawing under such Letter of Credit until the Reimbursement

obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. Solely as between the Issuing Banks
and the Lenders, in determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the
respective Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Lenders other than to
confirm that any documents required to be delivered under a respective Letter of
Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear on their face to
comply with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.
(e) PARTICIPATIONS. (i) Immediately upon issuance by an Issuing Bank
of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 3.1, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally
purchased and received from that Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit to the extent of
such Lender's Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, all obligations of
the Borrower with respect thereto and any security therefor and guaranty
pertaining thereto.
(ii) If any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of
Credit and the Borrowers' Agent does not repay such amount to the Issuing Bank
on or before the Reimbursement Date (and such amount is not repaid with Loan
advances as provided above), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent,
which shall promptly notify each Lender, and each Lender shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, in
immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
payment (net of that portion of such payment, if any, made by such Lender in its
capacity as an Issuing Bank) , and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing
Bank such amounts received by it, and any other amounts received by the Agent
for the Issuing Bank's account, pursuant to this Section 3.1(e). If a Lender
does not make its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment available to the
Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing
Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon, for the
first three (3) Business Days after the date such payment was first due at the
Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.4(a). The failure of any Lender to make
available to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of
any such payment shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation
hereunder to make available to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank
such other Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payment on the date such payment is to
be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to
the Agent.
(iii) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account
of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which the
Agent has previously received payments from any Lender for the account of such
Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.1(e), such Issuing Bank shall promptly
pay to the Agent and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender an amount equal
to such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. Each such payment shall
29
35
be made by such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, on the Business
Day on which such Person receives the funds paid to such Person pursuant to the
preceding sentence, if received prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such
Business Day, and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.
(iv) An Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Agent and each
Lender who makes a written request therefor, copies of any Letter of Credit,
Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, and related amendment to which such
Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may be requested by Agent
or such Lender.
(v) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Agent
for the account of any Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be
irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever
except willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Bank, and shall be
honored in accordance with this entire Section 3 (irrespective of the
satisfaction of the conditions described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable)
under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following
circumstances:
(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents;
(B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named
in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
acting), the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transactions (including any underlying transactions between the
account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);
(C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented
under the Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the
performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan
Documents;
(E) any failure by the Issuing Bank to make any reports
required pursuant to Section 3.1(h) or the inaccuracy of any such
report; or
(F) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.
(f) PAYMENT OF REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS. (i) Unless paid with a
Loan advance hereunder, each Borrower unconditionally agrees, on a joint and
several basis, to pay to each Issuing Bank, in Dollars, the amount of all
Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing
Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit when
30
36
such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or
other right which any Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or
any other Person.
(ii) In the event any payment by any Borrower received by an Issuing
Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit and distributed by the Agent to the
Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or
recovered from such Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership,
liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such
distribution shall, upon demand by such Issuing Bank, contribute such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with
interest at the rate required to be paid by such Issuing Bank upon the amount
required to be repaid by it.
(g) ISSUING BANK CHARGES. Borrowers' Agent shall pay to each Issuing
Bank, solely for its own account, the standard administrative charges assessed
by such Issuing Bank (not to exceed $400 each) in connection with the issuance,
administration, amendment and payment or cancellation of Letters of Credit and
such compensation in respect of such Letters of Credit for the Borrowers'
Agent's account as may be agreed upon by the Borrowers' Agent and such Issuing
Bank from time to time.
(h) ISSUING BANK REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Each Issuing Bank shall, no
later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the last day of each calendar
month, provide to the Agent, the Borrowers' Agent, and each Lender a schedule in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, setting forth the
aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding to it at the end of each
month and, to the extent not otherwise provided in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.1(c)(ii), any information requested by the Agent or the
Borrowers' Agent relating to the date of issue, account party, amount,
expiration date and reference number of each Letter of Credit issued by it.
(i) INDEMNIFICATION; EXONERATION. (a) In addition to all other
amounts payable to an Issuing Bank, each Borrower hereby agrees to defend (by
counsel selected by Borrowers' Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Issuing
Bank), indemnify, and save the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender harmless
from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, penalties, damages,
losses (other than loss of profits), costs, charges and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees but excluding taxes) which the Agent, such Issuing
Bank or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than as a result of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) the failure of the Issuing Bank
issuing a Letter of Credit to honor a drawing under such Letter of Credit as a
result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or
future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority.
(b) As between each Borrower on the one hand and the Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks on the other hand, each Borrower assumes all risks
of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by, the respective
beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of
the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Agreements, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall not be responsible, for: (A)
the form,
31
37
validity, legality, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and
issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any
or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the
validity, legality or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit to duly comply with conditions required in order to draw upon
such Letter of Credit; provided, however that with respect to any Letter of
Credit, the foregoing subclause (C) shall not relieve the Issuing Bank of any
liability it may have to any Borrower for any actual damages sustained by such
Borrower arising from a wrongful payment under such Letter of Credit made as a
result of the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (D) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;
(E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof (other than anything for
which an Issuing Bank would be liable under clause (C)); (G) the misapplication
by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under
such Letter of Credit.
(j) OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL. The obligations of each Issuing Bank and
each Lender under this entire Section 3 are several and not joint, and no
Issuing Bank or Lender shall be responsible for the obligation of any other
Issuing Bank or Lender to issue Letters of Credit or assume a participation
obligation in connection therewith (as applicable).
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce the Agent and each Lender to enter into this
Agreement and to make the Loans herein provided for, each Borrower hereby
covenants, represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that:
4.1. FINANCIAL CONDITION. The consolidated balance sheet of
Lexington as of December 31, 1995 and the related statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates,
certified by KPMG Peat Marwick, copies of which have heretofore been furnished
to Lender, are complete and correct and present fairly the financial condition
and performance of Lexington as at such dates and fiscal periods. The unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of Lexington as of 9/30/96 and the related unaudited
statements of income, for the six month period ended on 9/30/96 certified by a
Responsible Officer, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to Lender,
are complete and correct and present fairly the financial condition of Lexington
as at such date, and the stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six month
period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustment). All such
financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the
periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or Responsible Officer,
as the case may be, and as disclosed therein). Lexington does not have any
material Contingent Obligation, contingent liabilities or liability for taxes,
long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitment, which is not
reflected in the foregoing
32
38
statements or in the notes thereto. Lexington has previously delivered to Lender
copies of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 1995 filed
with the Commission.
4.2. NO MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. Since the date of the most recent
financial statements delivered to Agent there has been no Material Adverse
Effect, and no event has occurred and no condition exists which could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Borrower.
4.3. EXISTENCE; BORROWER'S COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Lexington is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Maryland. Each Borrower is a duly organized and validly existing
in its jurisdiction of organization. Each (a) has full power and authority and
the legal right to own and lease its property and to conduct the business in
which it is currently engaged, (b) is duly qualified or licensed and is in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of
property or the conduct of its business require such qualification, and (c) is
in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure
to comply therewith is not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.
4.4. POWER; AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS. Each Borrower
has the power and authority and the legal right to execute, deliver and perform
each of the Loan Documents and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary
action to authorize the borrowings hereunder, and the grant of the Liens
securing such borrowings, on the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan
Documents. No consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in
respect of any Governmental Authority is required to be made or obtained by the
Borrowers in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents. The
Agreement has been, and each Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered
on behalf of each Borrower and this Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan
Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with
its terms subject to the effect of bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and
similar laws and general principles of equity.
4.5. NO LEGAL BAR. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowing hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof, will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual
Obligation of any Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation other than the Liens for the
benefit of Lender expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the Security
Documents.
4.6. NO MATERIAL LITIGATION. No litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or,
to the best knowledge and belief of each Borrower, threatened against any
Borrower or against any of its properties or revenues (a) with respect to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Leases, or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) relating to the Properties, or the
ownership or the
33
39
operation thereof or the conduct of business thereon as presently conducted,
which, in the case of (a) or (b), is reasonably likely to have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
4.7. NO DEFAULT. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
4.8. OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY; LIENS.
(a) Each Borrower that is the owner of a Property has good record,
marketable and indefeasible Fee Interest or leasehold interest in each Property,
in such case free and clear of all Liens and other matters affecting title
except for Permitted Exceptions and Customary Permitted Liens, and such other
matters not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.
(b) To the best of Borrowers' knowledge, the Buildings located on
each Property are in good operating condition and repair, free of any material
structural or engineering defects known to any Borrower on the date hereof and
are suitable for their present uses, subject to such exceptions which are not
reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) To the best of Borrowers' knowledge, all water, sewer, gas,
electricity, telephone and other utilities serving each Property are supplied
directly to such Property by public utilities and enter such Property through
adjoining public streets or, if they pass through adjoining private land, do so
in accordance with valid public easements which inure to Borrower's benefit
subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All of such utilities are presently
installed and operating and are in good and safe condition, subject to such
exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. All material assessments for public improvements that have been
made against the Properties have been paid or provided for, except that in the
case of any assessments that are payable in installments, all installments due
as of the date hereof have been paid or provided for, subject to such exceptions
which are not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.
(d) No Borrower has received notice of any pending, threatened or
contemplated condemnation proceeding or similar taking affecting any of the
Properties, or any portion thereof, or any sale or other disposition any of the
Properties or any portion thereof in lieu of condemnation or similar taking, in
each case, subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have,
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) All Permits from all Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction over any Property or any portion thereof, the absence of which
could materially impair the use of any Property for the purposes for which it is
currently used have been issued and are in full force and effect, subject to
such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower has received or been informed by a third
party, of the receipt by it of any notice from any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over any of the Properties or any portion thereof or from any
insurance company or fire rating or similar board or organization threatening a
suspension, revocation, modification or cancellation of any Permit,
34
40
subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) A true, correct and complete copy of each Approved Lease each of
which as of the Closing Date is listed in the rent roll attached as Exhibit I,
and a true, correct and complete copy of any Ground Lease has been delivered to
Agent. Each of the Approved Leases and each Ground Lease is in full force and
effect and is a legally valid and binding obligation of all parties thereto,
subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower has mortgaged, pledged or
otherwise encumbered any of the Approved Leases or any Ground Lease except for
Liens permitted by Section 6.7. All rent and other sums and charges payable by
any tenant under each Approved Lease or by Borrower under any Ground Lease to
which it is a party are current, no notice of default or termination under any
such Approved Lease or Ground Lease is outstanding, no termination event or
condition or uncured default beyond applicable grace periods on the part of a
tenant exists under any Approved Lease or by Borrower under any Ground Lease,
and to the best of any Borrower's knowledge no event of default has occurred
which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute
such a default or termination event or condition or uncured default on the part
of the landlord or any tenant thereunder, subject to such exceptions which are
not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. As
to all of the Approved Leases, the landlord has performed all of its material
repair and maintenance obligations (if any) and, to the best knowledge and
belief of each Borrower, each tenant has performed all of its material repair
and maintenance obligations, subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably
likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(g) There have not been any alterations to any of the Properties,
nor have there been any encumbrances, encroachments or other survey matters
affecting any Property, in each case, after the date of the most recent Survey
of such Property furnished to Leader, subject to such exceptions which are not
reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) A rent roll (which shall include a schedule of the aging of all
rent payments and indicate whether any tenant is no longer in occupancy) as of
the date set forth thereon with respect to all Approved Leases is accurately and
completely set forth in Exhibit I (all references herein to said Exhibit I shall
mean Exhibit I as the same shall be supplemented each fiscal quarter by a
certificate signed by a Responsible Officer). The Approved Leases reflected on
such rent roll constitute the sole and complete agreements and understandings
relating to leasing or licensing of space in the Buildings or otherwise at such
Properties. There are no occupancies, rights, privileges or licenses in or to
the Buildings or any other part of the Properties other than pursuant to the
Approved Leases reflected on the rent roll set forth in Exhibit I. Except as set
forth in Exhibit I, the Approved Leases reflected on the rent roll are in full
force and effect, in accordance with their respective terms, without any payment
default or any other material default thereunder, nor to the best of Borrower's
knowledge are there any defenses, counterclaims, offsets, concessions or rebates
available to any tenant thereunder, and the landlord has not given or made, or
received, any notice of default, or any claim, which remains uncured or
unsatisfied, with respect to any of the Leases and, to the best of each
Borrower's knowledge there is no basis for any such claim or notice of default
by any tenant which would have a Material Adverse
35
41
Effect. The rent roll accurately and completely sets forth all rents payable by
and security, if any, deposited by tenants, no tenant having paid more than one
month's rent in advance. Except as set forth on Exhibit I, all tenant
improvements or work to be done, furnished or paid for by the landlord, or
credited or allowed to a tenant, for, or in connection with, the Buildings
pursuant to any Approved Lease has been completed and paid for or provided for
in a manner satisfactory to the Lender. No leasing, brokerage or like
commissions, fees or payments are due from any Borrower in respect of the
Approved Leases. Except as set forth on the rent roll, all tenants under all
Approved Leases are in occupancy and operating the premises covered by Approved
Leases within the permitted uses under such Approved Leases.
(i) Except as listed on Exhibit J (all references herein to said
Exhibit J shall mean Exhibit J as the same may be supplemented by or as
disclosed by additional documents and information delivered to Lender
hereunder), there are no Service Agreements relating to the operation and
maintenance of the Properties or any part thereof. To the best of each
Borrower's knowledge, there are no claims or any bases for claims in respect of
the Properties or their operation by any party to any Service Agreement.
(j) There are no material agreements pertaining to the Properties or
the operation or maintenance thereof other than as described in this Agreement
or the Title Policies or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Lender by a
Borrower; and no person or entity has any right or option to acquire any of the
Properties or any portion thereof or interest therein or lease any portion
thereof or additional portion thereof or provide services thereat except as set
forth on Exhibit H or Exhibit J or in the Leases.
4.9. TAXES. Each Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all tax
returns which to the best knowledge and belief of each Borrower are required to
be filed, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and
payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its
property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its
property by any Governmental Authority (other than Customary Permitted Liens and
those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with
GAAP have been provided on the books of each).
4.10. FEDERAL REGULATIONS. No Borrower is engaged and will not
engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin
stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under
Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and
from time to time hereafter in effect. No part of the proceeds of the Loans
hereunder will be used for "purchasing" or "carrying" "margin stock" as so
defined or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with,
the provisions of the Regulations of such Board of Governors. If requested by
Lender, each Borrower will furnish to Lender a statement in conformity with the
requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U to the
foregoing effect.
4.11. ERISA. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or
contributes to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan other than those listed on Exhibit
Q hereto. Each such Plan which is
36
42
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as
currently in effect has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified, and each
trust related to any such Plan has been determined to be exempt from federal
income tax Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as currently in effect.
Except as disclosed in Exhibit Q, no Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
maintains or contributes to any employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning
of Section 3(1) of ERISA. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance
in all material respects with the responsibilities, obligations and duties
imposed on it by ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated
thereunder with respect to all Plans. No Benefit Plan has incurred any
accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Sections 302 (a) (2) of ERISA and
412 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code) whether or not waived. No Borrower nor any
ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Plan which is not a Multiemployer Plan
(i) has engaged in an nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Sections 406
of ERISA or 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) has taken or failed to
take any action which would constitute or result in a Termination Event. Neither
the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is subject to any liability under Sections
4063, 4064, 4069, 4204 or 4212 (c) or ERISA. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the
payment of premiums. Schedule B to the most recent annual report filed with the
IRS with respect to each Plan is complete and accurate in all material respects.
Since the date of each such Schedule B, there has been no material adverse
change in funding status or financial condition of the Plan relating to such
Schedule B. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has (i) failed to make a
required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan or (ii) made a complete
or partial withdrawal under Sections 4203 or 4205 of ERISA from a Multiemployer
Plan. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make a required
installment or any other required payment under Section 412 of the Internal
Revenue Code on or before the due date for such installment or other payment. No
Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security to a Plan under
Section 401 (a) (29) of the Internal Revenue Code due to a Benefit Plan
amendment that results in an increase in current liability for the plan year.
Except as disclosed on Exhibit R, no Borrower or any of its subsidiaries has, by
reason of the transactions contemplated hereby, any obligation to make any
payment to any employee pursuant to any Plan or existing contract or
arrangement.
4.12. STATUS AS REIT. Lexington has been organized in conformity
with the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust under
the Code and has met such requirements since 1993. Lexington is in a position to
qualify for its current fiscal year as a real estate investment trust under the
Code and its proposed methods of operation will enable it to so qualify.
4.13. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. No Borrower is an "investment company"
or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
4.14. SUBSIDIARIES; OWNERSHIP OF CAPITAL STOCK AND PARTNERSHIP
INTERESTS.
(i) Exhibit K (A) contains a diagram indicating the corporate
structure of Lexington, each Borrower, and any other Person in
which Lexington or any
37
43
Borrower holds a direct or indirect partnership, joint venture
or other equity interest indicating the percentage and nature
of such interest with respect to each Person included in such
diagram; and (B) accurately sets forth the correct legal name
of such Person, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization and the jurisdictions in which it is qualified to
transact business as a foreign corporation, or otherwise.
(ii) Except where any failure or breach would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Borrowers, each Subsidiary: (A)
is a corporation or partnership, as indicated on Exhibit K,
duly organized, validly existing and, if applicable, in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (B) is duly qualified to do business and, if
applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction required to conduct its business as presently
conducted and (C) has all requisite power and authority to
own, operate and encumber its Property and to conduct its
business as presently conducted.
4.15. ABSENCE OF FINANCING STATEMENTS, ETC. There is no financing
statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage, equipment
lease, financing lease, option, encumbrance or other document filed or recorded
with any filing records, registry, or other public office, that purports to
cover, affect or give notice of any present or possible future lien or
encumbrance on, or security interest in, any Collateral, except those in favor
of the Lender or permitted by the Security Documents applicable to such
Collateral except as disclosed on Exhibit H.
4.16. POLLUTION; HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. In connection with the
acquisition and ownership of their interests in the Properties, the Borrowers
have made and will continue to make such inquiries, and has and will continue to
cause such testing, surveying, inspection or other action, with respect to the
Properties as is necessary or desirable in connection with Hazardous Materials
which might be present in the air, soil, surface water or groundwater at such
Property. Except as specifically set forth in the Environmental Reports listed
on Exhibit G (as amended or supplemented from time to time by additional
Environmental Reports with respect to future Eligible Properties or otherwise
amended or supplemented with the consent of the Lender) and except for such
exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect, to the best of any Borrower's knowledge, there are no Hazardous
Materials present in the air, soil, surface water or groundwater at any Property
and no Hazardous Materials (except Hazardous Materials maintained in accordance
with all Requirements of Law and necessary for the business operations of any
such Property, including, without limitation, petroleum used for heating oil)
are used in the operation of any Property.
4.17. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, BY-LAWS, PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT,
ETC. The copies of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of Lexington and
the organizational documents of each Borrower which have been furnished to
Lender are true, correct and complete copies thereof as in effect on the date of
this Agreement.
4.18. DISCLOSURES. The financial statements referred to in Section
4.1 do not, nor does this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other
written statement furnished by or on behalf
38
44
of any Borrower to Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a
material fact necessary to make the statement contained therein or herein not
misleading.
SECTION 5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
5.1. CONDITIONS TO LOANS. The obligation of any Lender to make a
Loan hereunder on the Initial Funding Date or to accept any new property as an
Eligible Property is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions
precedent on each such date (in addition to those set forth in Section 2.16 in
the case of a new Eligible Property):

Date in the case of a new Lender) such Lender shall have received a Note
executed by a Responsible Officer of each Borrower.

counsel to each Borrower and local counsel admitted to practice law in each of
the states where any of the Eligible Properties are located indicating the

satisfactory to Agent.

and shall have so given notice to Borrowers' Agent that Lexington has at any
time ceased to qualify, or has not qualified, as a real estate investment trust

have furnished Agent with an opinion of Borrowers' Agent's tax counsel (who
shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent provided that the Agent may not
unreasonably withhold its approval) to the effect that the Lexington is then in
a position to so qualify, or has so qualified, as the case may be, which opinion

other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable, and (ii) if such
event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may

each Borrower agrees that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in
any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any applicable
present or future stay, extension or moratorium law, which may affect observance
or performance of the provisions of this Agreement or of any Note or any other
Loan Document.

9.1. APPOINTMENT. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby
designates and appoints Fleet as the Agent of such Lender or such Issuing Bank
under this Agreement, and each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set
forth herein or therein together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions
contained in this entire Section 9.
(b) The provisions of this entire Section 9 (other than Sections 9.8
and 9.10(a)) are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and Issuing
Banks, and no Borrower shall have any right to rely on or enforce any of the
provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement,
the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and
does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or
relationship of agency, trustee or fiduciary with or for any Borrower. The Agent
may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or
through its agents or employees.
9.2. NATURE OF DUTIES. The Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
Loan Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative
in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender or Holder. Nothing in this Agreement or
any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be
construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement
or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial
condition and affairs of each Borrower in connection with the making and the
continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of each Borrower, and, except as specifically provided herein,
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date
or at any time or times thereafter.
9.3. RIGHT TO REQUEST INSTRUCTIONS. The Agent may at any time request
instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by
the terms of any of the Loan Documents the Agent is permitted or required to
take or to grant, and the Agent shall be
57
63
absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any
approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for
refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan
Documents until it shall have received such instructions from those Lenders from
whom the Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter
in accordance with the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no Lender or Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against
the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under the
Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or,
where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of
the Lenders.
9.4. RIGHTS, EXCULPATION, ETC. Neither Agent, any Affiliate of Agent, nor
any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or
consultants, shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by
them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or
therewith, except that Agent shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of its express obligations hereunder. In the
absence of gross negligence, Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or
distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 2.8, and
if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have
been made in error the sole recourse of any Person to whom payment was due, but
not made, shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment
in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.
Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this
Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; or for the financial condition of
any Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Agent shall not be
required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of
any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents or the financial condition of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of
Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to
any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the
Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without
instructions from any Lenders, and if such instructions are promptly requested,
Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to
withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any
Person for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under
any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from
Requisite Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. Without limiting the
foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as
a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the
Notes or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of
Requisite Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender at any time that the Requisite Lenders have instructed Agent to act
or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
9.5. RELIANCE. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written
notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone
message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with
58
64
respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents
and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including
counsel for any Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it.
9.6. INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed
and indemnified by any Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse, within fifteen (15)
days after notice from Agent, and indemnify the Agent for and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way relating to or
arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
under the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender's Pro Rata Share. The
obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.6 shall survive the payment in
full of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement. In the event that after payment and
distribution of any amount by Agent to Lenders, any Lender or third party,
including Borrower, any creditor of Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy,
recovers from Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Agent or
disbursed by Agent to Lenders, then Lenders, in proportion to their respective
Pro Rata Shares, shall reimburse Agent for all such amounts.
9.7. AGENT INDIVIDUALLY. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the
Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, and the Loans made by it, Agent shall
have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the
same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any
other Lender. The terms "Lenders" or "Requisite Lenders" or any similar terms
shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders. Agent and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any
kind of banking, trust or other business with any Borrower as if it were not
acting as the Agent pursuant hereto.
9.8. SUCCESSOR AGENTS. (a) RESIGNATION. The Agent may resign from the
performance of its functions and duties as agent hereunder at any time by giving
at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrowers' Agent
and the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a
successor Agent of appointment pursuant to this Section 9.8.
(b) APPOINTMENT BY REQUISITE LENDERS. Upon any such resignation
becoming effective, (i) if a co-agent shall then be acting with respect to this
Agreement, such co-agent shall become the Agent or (ii) if no co-agent shall
then be acting with respect to this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall have
the right to appoint a successor Agent selected from among the Lenders, provided
that the Requisite Lenders shall have received the prior written consent of
Borrowers' Agent to such successor Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) APPOINTMENT BY RETIRING AGENT. If a successor Agent shall not have
been appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day or shorter period provided in
paragraph (a) of this Section 9.8, the retiring Agent shall then appoint a
successor Agent which successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to
Borrowers' Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
59
65
(d) RIGHTS OF THE SUCCESSOR AND RETIRING AGENTS. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent (which shall have been
approved by Borrowers' Agent as provided above), 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 as Agent under this Agreement (but not as
Lender). After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this entire Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.
9.9. RELATIONS AMONG THE LENDERS. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank
agrees that it will not take any legal action, nor institute any actions or
proceedings, against any Borrower or any other obligor hereunder, without the
prior written consent of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the
Obligations, or unilaterally terminate its Revolving Credit Commitment except in
accordance with Section 8.1.
9.10 CONSENT AND APPROVALS; AGENCY PROVISIONS RELATING TO COLLATERAL.
(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the
Loan Documents other than this Agreement for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender
agrees that any action taken by Agent at the direction or with the consent of
Requisite Lenders, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any
Loan Document, and the exercise by Agent at the direction or with the consent of
Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and
binding upon all Lenders, except for actions specifically requiring the approval
of all Lenders. All communications from Agent to Lenders requesting Lenders
determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form
of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description
of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval, consent or
disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or thing
may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be
resolved, and (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to
the extent not previously provided to such Lender, any written materials
provided to Agent by Borrowers' Agent in respect of the matter or issue to be
resolved. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event (x) within fifteen
(15) Business Days for those matters requiring the consent by all Lenders, (y)
within fifteen (15) Business Days with respect to the acceptance of additional
Eligible Properties and (z) except as provided in clauses (x) and (y), within
ten (10) Business Days for those matters requiring the consent by Requisite
Lenders in each instance, after receipt of the request therefor by Agent (in
either event, the "LENDER REPLY PERIOD"). Unless a Lender shall give written
notice to Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of Agent
(together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection)
within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of
or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions
requiring the approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, Agent shall submit
its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such
recommendation or determination to all Lenders and upon receiving the required
approval or consent shall follow the
60
66
course of action or determination recommended to Lenders by Agent or such other
course of action recommended by Requisite Lenders and each non-responding Lender
shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action.
(b) Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without
the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to
time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any
Collateral or Loan Document which may be necessary to perfect and maintain
perfected Agent's Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan
Documents. Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed for, Protective Advance(s)
during any one calendar year with respect to each Property up to the sum of (i)
amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges
or levies imposed upon such Property, (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance
premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property, and (iii) Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000). Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any
calendar year for any Property shall require the consent of Requisite Lenders.
In addition, Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the
necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, to waive the
imposition of the late fees provided for in Section 2.4(c) up to a maximum of
one (1) time during the term of this Agreement, including any extensions.
(c) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option
and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any
Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment and repayment
and satisfaction of all Loans, and all other Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement or (ii) constituting Property being released in compliance with
Section 2.17 hereof or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by
Agent at the direction of all Lenders. Without in any manner limiting Agent's
authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by
Lenders (as set forth in Section 9.10(b)), upon request by Agent at any time,
Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release the Security
Documents with respect to any Property pursuant to Section 2.17 or this Section
9.10.
(d) So long as no Default or Event of Default is then
continuing, upon receipt by Agent of any such written confirmation as referenced
in Section 9.10(c)(iii) from all Lenders of its authority to release Collateral,
and upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by Borrowers'
Agent, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute
such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted
to Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon such
Collateral; provided, that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such
document on terms which, in Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to liability or
create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such
Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any
manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or
obligations of Borrower in respect of) any Property which shall continue to
constitute part of the Collateral.
(e) Except as provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have no
obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or is cared for, protected or
insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens
61
67
granted to Agent herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto
or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.
(f) Should Agent commence any proceeding or in any way seek to
enforce its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether
as a result thereof Agent shall acquire title to any Collateral, either through
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, each Lender, upon demand
therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata
Share) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such enforcement or
acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees, court
costs, title company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers' fees and
fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by any
Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall
contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Agent (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
if Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any
suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any Collateral or any part
thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or the attempt to enforce any security
interest or Lien on any of the Collateral, or to enforce any rights of Agent or
any Borrower's or any other party's obligations under any of the Loan Documents,
but not with respect to any dispute between Agent and any other Lender(s). Any
loss of principal and interest resulting from any Event of Default shall be
shared by Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. It is
understood and agreed that in the event Agent determines it is necessary to
engage counsel for Lenders from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
said counsel shall be selected by Agent.
(g) In the event that all or any portion of the Collateral is
acquired by Agent as the result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or
assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any
part of any Borrower's obligations, title to any such Collateral or any portion
thereof shall be held in the name of Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Agent,
as agent, for the ratable benefit of Agent and Lenders.
9.11. NOTICE OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other
than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans) unless Agent has
received notice in writing from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, describing such event or condition and
expressly stating that such notice is a notice of a Default or Event of Default.
Should Agent receive such notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default, or should Agent send any Borrower a notice of Default or Event of
Default, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Lender. Each Lender
shall be obligated to notify Agent of any Default or Event of Default of which
it has actual knowledge.
9.12. RATABLE SHARING. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with
respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of
the Obligations (excluding the fees described in Sections 3.1(g), 2.10, 2.13 and
2.14) equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts
will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares,
whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of setoff or
banker's
62
68
lien, by counterclaim or crossaction or by the enforcement of any or all of the
Obligations (excluding the fees described in Sections 3.1(g), 2.10, 2.13 and
2.14), (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any
right of counterclaim, setoff, banker's lien or otherwise, receive payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it, which is
greater than the amount which such Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, the
Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to
have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations
owed to the others that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations
shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided,
however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing
party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and
the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such party
to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except
to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection
with such recovery. Each Borrower agrees that, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
pursuant to this Section 9.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of
such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
9.13. DEFAULTING LENDERS. If for any reason any Lender (a "Defaulting
Lender") shall fail or refuse to perform its obligations under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified
for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such
failure or refusal continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days after notice
from Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available
to Agent or any Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, such Defaulting Lender's right to
participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of,
to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of Agent or to be taken into
account in the calculation of Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the
pendency of such failure or refusal. If for any reason a Lender fails to make
timely payment to Agent of any amount required to be paid to Agent hereunder
(without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other
rights and remedies which Agent or any Borrower may have under the immediately
preceding provisions or otherwise, Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect
interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period
from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment
is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to
apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any
amounts otherwise payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Lender in a court of
competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest
or (iv) cause the Defaulting Lender to assign its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to
an Eligible Assignee designated by Agent upon the terms set forth in Section
9.14(b). Any amounts received by Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be
held by Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Pro Rata
Share of the Loans under Section 9.14 or Section 2.8(b)(v) or paid to such
Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender's curing of its default.
63
69
9.14. PURCHASING OF DEFAULTING LENDER'S PRO RATA SHARE.
(a) Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but
not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loans. If more than one Lender exercises such
right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire such proportion of such
Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loans as they may mutually agree. Upon
any such purchase of the Pro Rata Share of the Loans of a Defaulting Lender, the
Defaulting Lender's interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its
liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to
the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the
purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender
shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and
transfer such interest to the purchaser thereof, including an appropriate
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 10.1(d), shall
pay to Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $6,000. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if no Lender exercises the right to acquire the Defaulting Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the Loans within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the
cure period set forth in Section 9.13, Borrowers' Agent shall have the right to
require the Agent to cause the Defaulting Lender to assign its Pro Rata Share of
the Loans to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrowers' Agent who has
agreed to accept such an assignment in accordance with the terms of Section
9.14(b), provided however, that Borrowers' Agent shall be entitled to exercise
this right only if the Agent has not located an Eligible Assignee of its own and
there is no dispute with the Defaulting Lender concerning such Default.
(b) The purchase price for the Pro Rata Share of the Loans of a
Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the
Loans outstanding and owed by Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender. Prior to
payment of such purchase price to Defaulting Lender, Agent shall apply against
such purchase price any amounts payable in respect of such Pro Rata Share of the
Loans as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 9.13. The Defaulting
Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by any Borrower under the
Loans Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting
Lender, to the extent the same are received by Agent from or on behalf of
Borrower. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or Agent for the payment
of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other
party or in respect of the Loans.
SECTION 10. GENERAL
10.1. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. (a) ASSIGNMENTS. No assignments
or participation's of any Lender's rights or obligations under this Agreement
shall be made except in accordance with this Section 10.1. Each Lender may
assign to one or more Eligible Assignees who, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists and is continuing, is approved by Borrower's Agent (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all of its
rights and obligations with respect to the Loans and the Letters of Credit) in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1.
64
70
(b) LIMITATIONS ON ASSIGNMENTS. Each assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions: (i) each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a
varying, ratable percentage of all of the assigning Lender's right and
obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of a partial assignment, shall
be in a minimum principal amount of $15,000,000, (ii) each such assignment shall
be to an Eligible Assignee who, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists
and is continuing, is approved by Borrower's Agent (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (iii) the parties to each
such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and agreed to by the Agent, (A)
the assignee thereunder shall, in addition to any rights and obligations
hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, if any, have the
right to and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder as if it were an original
Lender hereunder, (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it and assumed by the Eligible
Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) and (C) each Borrower shall execute and
deliver to the assignee thereunder a Note evidencing its obligations to such
assignee with respect to the Loans and, if applicable, a new Note to the
Assignor evidencing its remaining obligations to the Assignor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Agent hereunder shall be required to maintain a minimum
Revolving Credit Commitment, Loans or a combination thereof of $20,000,000.
(c) THE REGISTER. The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to
in Section 10.10 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register (the "REGISTER") for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and the
principal amount of the Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitment owing to,
each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or
the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error, and each Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
Borrowers' Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(d) FEE. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
the assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and a processing and recordation
fee of $2,500 (payable by the assigning Lender or the assignee, as shall be
agreed between them), the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in compliance with this Agreement and in substantially the
form of Exhibit R hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to the Borrowers' Agents and the other Lenders.
65
71
(e) PARTICIPATIONS. Each Lender may sell participation's to one or more
other financial institutions in or to all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under and in respect of any and all facilities under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of any or all of its Revolving
Credit Commitment hereunder and the Loans owing to it and its undivided interest
in the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit
Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, and (iii) each Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such participant's
rights to agree or to restrict such Lender's ability to agree to the
modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, to
consent to any action or failure to act by any party to any of the Loan
Documents or any of their respective Affiliates or to exercise or refrain from
exercising any powers or rights which any Lender may have under or in respect of
the Loan Documents, shall be limited to the right to consent to (A) increase in
the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Lender from whom such participant
purchased a participation, (B) reduction of the principal of, or rate or amount
of interest on the Loans subject to such participation (other than by the
payment or prepayment thereof), (C) postponement of the Revolving Credit
Termination Date (other than pursuant to Section 2.1(c) hereof) and (D) release
of any guarantor of the Obligations.
(f) INFORMATION REGARDING THE BORROWER. Any Lender may, in connection
with any assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.1, disclose to
the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information
relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender by the Agent or by or on
behalf of such Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such
assignee or participant, or proposed assignee or participant, shall agree to
preserve in accordance with Section 10.16 the confidentiality of any
confidential information described therein.
(g) PAYMENT TO PARTICIPANTS. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the case of any participation, all amounts payable by any
Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be calculated and made in the manner and
to the parties required hereby as if no such participation had been sold.
(h) LENDERS' CREATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS. Notwithstanding any other
provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Obligations owing to it and any Note held by it)
in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A of the
Federal Reserve Board.
(i) ASSIGNMENTS BY FLEET. If Fleet ceases to be a Lender under this
Agreement by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.1, then,
as of the effective date of such cessation, Fleet's obligations to issue Letters
of Credit pursuant to Section 3.01 shall terminate and Fleet shall be an Issuing
Bank hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior
to such date.
66
72
(j) FOREIGN BANKS. Any assignee or participant that is not created or
organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof
shall deliver to the Borrowers' Agent a true and accurate certificate executed
by a duly authorized officer to the effect that such party is subject to tax
review and eligible to receive payments hereunder and under any Note without
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax (i) under the
provisions of an applicable tax treaty concluded by the United States (in which
case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS
Form 1001 (or any successor or substitute form or forms)) or (ii) under Sections
1442(c)(1) and 1442 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code (in which case the
certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form 4224
(or any successor or substitute form or forms).
(k) BORROWERS' RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNAFFECTED. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no assignment or participation by any
Lender shall result in any material change in any of the Loan Documents, any
additional or increased cost or obligation to Borrowers or reduce the rights or
benefits of the Borrowers hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Borrowers' Agent.
10.2. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. (a) GENERAL PROVISIONS. Unless otherwise
provided for or required in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
effective without the written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the
Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole
discretion) and the Borrowers' Agent; provided, however, that no Borrower's
approval shall be required for any amendment or modification of Sections 9.1
through 9.14. No termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Borrower
therefrom, shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite
Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold
in their sole discretion. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice
to or demand on any Borrower in any specific instance shall entitle such
Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(b) AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS AND WAIVERS BY ALL LENDERS. Any amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the
following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written
agreement, signed by each Lender as described below (except as otherwise
indicated):
(i) increase in the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment,

67
73
(iv) postponement of any date (including the Revolving Credit
Termination Date except as permitted by Section 2.1(c)) fixed for any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans, the Reimbursement

relating to prepayments of Loans and other Obligations which are
governed by Section 2.8(b),

(c) AGENT AUTHORITY. The Agent may, but shall have no obligation to,
with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications,
waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 10.2, no amendment, modification, waiver or
consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, unless made in writing and signed by the Agent in
addition to the Lenders required above to take such action. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Borrower shall have
requested, in writing, that any Lender agree to an amendment, modification,
waiver or consent with respect to any particular provision or provisions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall have failed to
state, in writing, that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with
all such requests (in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to
satisfactory documentation and such other conditions it may specify) within ten
(10) days after such request, then such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Agent to agree or disagree, in full or in part, and in the Agent's sole
discretion, to such requests on behalf of such Lender as such Lenders'
attorney-in-fact and to execute and deliver any writing approved by the Agent
which evidences such agreement as such Lender's duly authorized agent for such
purposes.
10.3 MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. None of the Agent, any Lender or
any Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ any assets in favor
of any Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations. To the extent that such Borrower makes a payment or payments to the
Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or any such Person
68
74
exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to
a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens,
right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred.
10.4 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No claim may be made by any Lender, any
Issuing Bank, the Agent or any other Person (other than the Borrowers) against
the Agent, any other Issuing Bank or any other Lender or the Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any
consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract
or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in
connection therewith; and each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Agent hereby
waives, releases and agrees not to ▇▇▇ upon any such claim for any such damages,
whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its
favor.
10.5 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS; INCONSISTENCIES. This Agreement and
any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective against each Borrower,
each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Agent on the Closing Date. This Agreement
and each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable
to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and
conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern. In the event
the Lenders enter into any co-lender agreement with the Agent pertaining to the
Lenders' respective rights with respect to voting on any matter referenced in
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on which the Lenders have a right to
vote under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such
co-lender agreement shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, but to the extent that the
terms and conditions of such co-lender agreement are actually inconsistent with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, as
among the Lenders and Agent, such co-lender agreement shall govern.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights reserved to the Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be varied or in any way
affected by such co-lender agreement and the rights and obligation of each
Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents will not be modified or affected
by such co-lender agreement.
10.6 DISCLAIMER BY LENDER. The Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders
shall not be liable to any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, laborer,
architect, engineer, tenant or other party for services performed or materials
supplied in connection with any work performed on any of the Properties. The
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall not be liable for any debts or
claims accruing in favor of any such parties against any Borrower or others or
against any of the Properties. No Borrower is nor shall be an agent of either
the Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders for any purposes and neither the
Lender, the Issuing Banks nor the Agent shall be
69
75
deemed partners or joint venturers with any Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
Neither the Agent, the Issuing Banks nor the Lenders shall be deemed to be in
privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to any of the
Properties, nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor or
subcontractor or provider of services be deemed to create any third party
beneficiary status or recognition of same by either the Agent, the Issuing Banks
or the Lenders and each of the Borrowers agree to hold the Agent, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders harmless from any of the damages and expenses resulting
from such a construction of the relationship of the parties or any assertion
thereof.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT.

BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING (SUCH SERVICE TO BE EFFECTIVE ON THE EARLIER OF RECEIPT
THEREOF OR, IN THE CASE OF SERVICE BY MAIL, THE 5TH DAY AFTER DEPOSIT OF SUCH
SERVICE IN THE MAILS AS AFORESAID), (e) AGREES THAT THE FAILURE OF BORROWERS'
AGENT TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF ANY SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS TO IT SHALL NOT IMPAIR
OR EFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUCH SERVICE OR ANY JUDGMENT BASED THEREON; (f) TO THE
EXTENT THAT SUCH PARTY HAS ACQUIRED, OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE, ANY IMMUNITY FROM
JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT OR FROM LEGAL PROCESS THEREIN, WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH IMMUNITY; (g) WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR WITH RESPECT
TO, ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, (i) ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS IMMUNE FROM
ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO
JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT
TO IT OR ANY OF ITS PROPERTY, (ii) ANY CLAIM
70
76
THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, AND

AGENT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES
OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR
THE RIGHT, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER, TO
SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH BORROWER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES BORROWERS' AGENT AS ITS PROCESS AGENT TO RECEIVE SERVICE
OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND DOCUMENTS ON ITS BEHALF IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING IN
THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT AND BORROWERS' AGENT, BY ITS ACKNOWLEDGMENT BELOW,

$______________________ Dated: February __, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES,
INC.; LEPERCQ CORPORATE INCOME FUND L.P.; LEPERCQ CORPORATE INCOME FUND II L.P.;
UNION HILLS ASSOCIATES; NORTH TAMPA ASSOCIATES; and LEX GP-1, INC.
(collectively, the "Borrowers" and individually a "Borrower") HEREBY PROMISE TO
PAY, jointly and severally, to the order of _____________ (the "Lender"), the
lesser of (a) ______________________________ DOLLARS ($___________) or (b) the
aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Loans made by the Lender to
the Borrowers pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement dated as of February __, 1997, among the Borrowers, the Lender, the
other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as Lenders, and
Fleet National Bank, as Agent, (as the same may be amended, restated,
supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"),
on June 1, 1999 or such later date as may result from the Borrowers' exercise of
their conversion and extension rights under Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement,
unless sooner accelerated in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers further promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Loan on the dates determined in accordance with the provisions of
the Credit Agreement and until such principal amount is paid in full, at the
following rates from the date each advance hereunder is made through but
excluding the date of repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise), which
rates (each rate being sometimes hereinafter referred to as an "Applicable
Rate") shall be selected in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement:
(a) the Eurodollar Rate (as hereinafter defined); or
(b) the Base Rate (as hereinafter defined).
Interest, fees and other amounts which are calculated
hereunder on the basis of a rate per annum shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of
the Loans outstanding from time to time, in arrears, (i) on each Interest
Payment Date and (ii) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
If Borrowers shall fail to make any payment of principal or interest
on any portion of a Loan or any other amount becoming due, hereunder or under
any of the Loan Documents within ten (10) days of the date such payment is due,
Borrowers shall be subject to a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount
of such payment. Borrowers shall be entitled to a one-time waiver of the late
charge prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Upon the occurrence and
during
103
the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall pay interest (to the
extent permitted by law in the case of interest on overdue interest) on such
defaulted amount accruing from and including the date of such Event of Default
up to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before
judgment) at a rate per annum which is the sum of (i) four percent (4%) plus
(ii) the Applicable Rate otherwise payable.
All payments of principal and interest in respect of this Promissory
Note shall be made to the Agent in lawful money of the United States of America
in same day funds for the account of the Lender in accordance with the terms of
the Credit Agreement. Each Loan made by the Lender to the Borrowers pursuant to
the Credit Agreement, and all payments made on account of principal thereof,
shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and records.
If any change in existing law or future applicable law, which
expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder
and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or
other regulatory body or official 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 Lender by
any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not
having the force of law), shall:
(i) subject Lender to any tax, levy, impost, duty,
charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to
this Note, the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents, Revolving
Credit Commitment or the Loans (other than Excluded Taxes); or
(ii) materially change the basis of taxation (except
for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to Lender of
the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts
payable to Lender under this Note, the Credit Agreement or the
other Loan Documents; or
(iii) impose or increase or render applicable (other
than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in the
Credit Agreement) 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 Lender; or
(iv) impose on any party any other conditions or
requirements with respect to this Note, the Credit Agreement, the
Loan Documents, the Loans, the Revolving Credit Commitment, or any
class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or the
Revolving Credit Commitment forms a part;
and the result of any of the foregoing is:
(A) to increase the cost to Lender of making,
funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of
the Loans or its Pro Rata Share thereof; or
-2-
104
(B) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or
other amount payable to Lender hereunder on account of its Pro
Rata Share of any of the Loans; or
(C) to require Lender to make any payment or to forgo
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 Lender from the Borrowers hereunder,
then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will, within thirty (30) days after
demand made by Lender or Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as
the occasion therefor may arise, pay to Lender, such additional amounts as
Lender shall determine in good faith will be sufficient to compensate Lender for
such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum.
If any change in existing law or future law, governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with
appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and as a result thereof Lender
determines in good faith that the amount of capital required to be maintained by
it must be increased as a result of the Loans made or deemed to be made pursuant
hereto, then Lender may notify the Borrowers' Agent of such fact, and the
Borrowers' Agent shall pay to Lender from time to time within 30 days after
demand, as an additional fee payable hereunder, such amount as Lender shall
determine in good faith and certify in a notice to the Borrowers' Agent to be an
amount that will adequately compensate Lender in light of these circumstances
for its increased costs of maintaining such capital.
In the event that any Requirements of Law or any change in any
existing Requirements of Law or in the interpretation thereof by any
Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, in any case
adopted, issued or effective after the date hereof, shall make it unlawful for
Lender to fund any portion of the Eurodollar Loans or to give effect to its
obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to its making Eurodollar Loans,
Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify Borrowers' Agent thereof
in writing stating the reason therefor and the effective date of such event, and
upon the effectiveness of any such event the obligation of Lender to make or
maintain its Eurodollar Loans to any Borrower shall forthwith be suspended for
the duration of such illegality and during such illegality Lender shall, upon
payment of any amounts owing under Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement with
respect to such conversion, convert its share of the Eurodollar Loans to (upon
effectiveness of any such event and during the continuance of such event) Base
Rate Loans. If and when such illegality with respect thereto ceases to exist,
such suspension shall cease and Lender shall notify Borrowers' Agent that the
Base Rate Loan into which such share of the Eurodollar Loans was converted
pursuant to this Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement was converted to a
Eurodollar Loan, respectively, on the first day of the next succeeding Interest
Period.

105
If the rate of interest payable by any Borrower under this Note, the
Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be or become usurious or otherwise
unlawful under laws applicable thereto, the interest rate shall be reduced to
the maximum lawful rate and any amount paid by such Borrower in excess of the
maximum lawful rate shall be considered a payment in reduction of principal or,
at the sole election of the Agent, shall be returned to such Borrower.
