("Borrower"), in favor of CONVENIENCE STORE FINANCE COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware

assigns, "Secured Party").
Preliminary Statement
---------------------
Borrower has requested that Secured Party make one or more loans to
Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of SEVEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($7,800,000.00) (collectively, the "Loan") and Borrower has
agreed to evidence such Loan by executing and delivering to Secured Party one or
more Secured Promissory Notes in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto, and in
---------
the original principal amounts set forth on EXHIBIT B attached hereto (each a
---------
"Note", and collectively, the "Notes") made payable to Secured Party in said
original principal amounts and for the term and on the terms and conditions set
forth therein. The Notes shall be secured by one or more deeds of trust,
mortgages and/or deeds to secure debt on the commercial properties (each a
"Property" and collectively, the "Properties") with the addresses and in the
counties and states set forth on EXHIBIT B and on the INFORMATION SCHEDULE
---------
annexed hereto. In addition, and as a condition to the making of the Loan,
Secured Party has requested, and Borrower has agreed, among other things, to
grant to Secured Party a security interest in the Collateral (as defined below).
The terms used herein (whether or not capitalized) have the meanings accorded
such terms in the text hereof and in the DEFINITIONS SCHEDULE attached hereto
and made a part hereof and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the UCC.
Pursuant to that certain Security Agreement (the "Subordinate Loan
Agreement") dated as of October ___, 1999 by and between Borrower and Capstone
Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Subordinate Lender"),
Subordinate Lender has or may provide certain loans to Borrower in the principal
amount of $________________ (the "Subordinate Loan").
Pursuant to that certain Intercreditor Agreement (the "Intercreditor
Agreement") dated as of October ___, 1999 by and between Subordinate Lender and
Secured Party, Secured Party will allow Subordinate Lender to take a senior
security interest only in the Petroleum Inventory (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement).
In consideration of the foregoing, the benefits accruing to Borrower and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
Borrower hereby acknowledges,
Borrower hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Secured
Party and covenants and agrees with Secured Party as follows:
1. GRANT. To secure the Obligations, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns,
-----
transfers and grants to Secured Party a continuing security interest in and Lien
on and right of set off with respect to the following property and assets,
whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively
"Collateral"): all Goods (including Inventory and Equipment), General
Intangibles (except as provided below), Accounts, certificates of title,
fixtures, money, instruments, securities, investment property, documents,
chattel paper, credit balances, deposits, deposit accounts, letters of credit,
bankers' acceptances, guaranties, credits, claims, choses in action, demands,
and all present and future Liens, security interests, rights, insurance,
remedies, title and interest in, to and in respect of Accounts and other
property of every kind and description and all other personal property, now or
hereafter owned, acquired, existing, arising, held, used, sold or consumed in
connection with Borrower's Business or Property and any other property, rights
and interests of Borrower which at any time relate to, arise out of or in
connection with the foregoing or which shall come into the possession or custody
or under the control of Secured Party or any of its agents or representatives,
for any purpose (including, without limitation, any Replacement Collateral); all
additions and accessions thereto, substitutions therefor and replacements and
improvements of or to any or all of the foregoing, all interest, income,
dividends, distributions and earnings thereon or other monies or revenues
derived therefrom, and all moneys which may become payable under any policy
insuring any of the foregoing or otherwise required to be maintained hereunder
(including the return of unearned premiums) ("Collateral Revenues"); and all
products and proceeds of the foregoing. In the event and to the extent that at
the request of the Secured Party under Section 2.13 hereof, Borrower shall
pledge and grant a security interest in its right, title and interest in and to
the Principal Agreements (as hereinafter defined), then Borrower shall be deemed
to hereby grant a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in
and to the Principal Agreements, and all proceeds thereof. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this Loan Agreement also secures the payment of all
amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by the
Borrower to the Secured Party but for the fact they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving the Borrower.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in applying the law of
any jurisdiction that has now or hereinafter enacted all or substantially all of
the uniform revision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, with new
provisions added to Article 9 contemplated by such revision, all as approved in
1994 by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners
on Uniform State Laws, the foregoing collateral description shall be deemed to
include "investment property" as defined in such new provision of Article 9, it
being the intention of the Borrower that such collateral be included in the
foregoing collateral description, whether prior to or after the effectiveness of
such revision in such jurisdiction.

--------------------
for on-site management at each Property have and shall have, in the aggregate,
an average of not less than three (3) years experience operating the Business or
a business substantially similar to the Business and no individual with primary

substantially similar to the Business. In addition, (i) Borrower's Businesses at
the Properties have each been operating for not less than twelve (12) months,
and (ii) the operating statements for the Business at all Properties, in the
aggregate, demonstrate that the per store average operating cash flow is

Principal Agreements, Leases and projected operating expenses.
2.8 Financial Coverages. During the term of this Loan Agreement,
--------------------
Borrower shall maintain (i) with respect to each Property securing a Loan, (x)
FCCR at not less than 1.10:1.00 ("Minimum Unit Level FCCR") and (y) DSCR at not
less than 1.10:1.00 ("Minimum Unit Level DSCR"), (ii) with respect to all

1.20:1.00 ("Minimum Corporate DSCR"). On the Date of the Note, after giving

Sections 2.18 and 2.19 hereof) for the most recent twelve (12) month period.
2.9 Limitation on Indebtedness and Lease Obligations. Borrower shall
------------------------------------------------
not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness or Lease Obligations or
become obligated to make any payments (including any Payments to Affiliates) if,
after giving effect to such incurrence or payments, FCCR or DSCR would be less
than any of Minimum Unit Level FCCR, Minimum Unit Level DSCR, Minimum
Consolidated FCCR, Minimum Consolidated DSCR, Minimum Corporate FCCR or Minimum
Corporate DSCR.
2.10 Title; No Liens, Claims or Encumbrances. Borrower has maintained
---------------------------------------
and will at all times maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral free
of all Liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others (other than the security
interest granted to Secured Party hereunder and to the extent of the Permitted
Encumbrances) and such Collateral is sufficient to enable Borrower to operate
the Business at each Property in accordance with each of the Principal
Agreements. Except as reflected on the UCC Search attached hereto as EXHIBIT C
---------
("Current Filings"), there is no financing statement (or similar statement,
agreement, pledge, mortgage, notice or registration), Lien (including any
federal or state tax lien), suit (including any action, proceeding, or other
litigation pending, or to Borrower's knowledge, threatened) or judgment
(including any award, injunction or order) filed with, registered, indexed or
recorded in any public office, court, arbitration panel, administrative agency
or regulatory authority (or intended so to be), directly or indirectly,
identifying or encumbering or covering or involving the Collateral or any of the
Principal Agreements or which could materially affect Borrower, its Business,
any of the Properties or its ability to perform its Obligations. Prior to or
concurrently with the funding of the Loan, Borrower shall take all actions
necessary to terminate all Current Filings other than those consented to by
Secured Party and relating solely to Permitted Encumbrances, if any.
2.11 No Further Disposition or Encumbrances. Other than with respect
--------------------------------------
to the interest granted in favor of Secured Party, the Permitted Encumbrances,
and except as provided in Section 3 hereof, Borrower has not and will not enter
into any agreement or understanding or take, permit or suffer to exist any
action (including the filing of a financing statement, agreement, pledge,
mortgage, notice or registration) or event (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) for the purpose of, or that may have the effect of, directly or
indirectly, granting a security interest in or Lien on (including any state or
federal tax lien except to the extent permitted by Section 2.24 hereof),
pledging, transferring, assigning, selling, disposing of, or encumbering any
Collateral, any interest therein or rights pertaining thereto or involving the
Business, or which otherwise would constitute a "Transfer", as defined in the
Mortgages.
2.12 Principal Agreements. The (i) agreements attached as EXHIBIT D
-------------------- ---------
hereto between Borrower and the other parties specified therein (together with
all replacements therefor in accordance with this Section 2.12, each a
"Principal Agreement"), and (ii) Leases are each in full force and effect in
accordance with their respective terms and neither Borrower or the other parties
thereto have breached or are otherwise in default thereunder. Until such time as
the
5
Obligations have been paid in full in cash and otherwise fully satisfied,
Borrower agrees to make one or more timely elections to renew the term of each
of the Principal Agreements and each of the Leases in accordance with its terms
and shall use its best efforts to satisfy any and all conditions to any such
renewal, and to obtain, procure, execute and deliver, file and affix such
further agreements, instruments, documents, notices, statements, writings,
powers and information, and to do or cause to be done all such further acts and
things as Secured Party may reasonably request, from time to time, in its
discretion, in connection with the Obligations. In addition to the foregoing,
Borrower shall not terminate, breach or be in default under, or suffer any of
the foregoing to exist under or with respect to, any of the Principal Agreements
or any Lease and Borrower has no knowledge of any claim of (or basis for any
claim of) any such termination, nonrenewal, breach or default. However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to replace each of
the Principal Agreements with a substantially similar agreement or agreement
with terms and conditions more advantageous in all material respects to
Borrower, so long as (i) Borrower shall provide Secured Party with at least
thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such replacement, (ii) such
replacement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured
Party, (iii) in any event, under all circumstances and at all times, Borrower
shall have in effect one or more Principal Agreements which provide for the sale
by Borrower at each Property of nationally or regionally branded petroleum
products acceptable to Secured Party and (iv) Borrower shall provide Secured
Party with such other information as Secured Party shall request; provided,
--------
however, that the replacement of any of the foregoing agreements with a new
-------
agreement shall not itself be deemed to cure a breach under Section 6.1.1(iii)
hereof. Borrower agrees to comply fully, at Borrower's own cost and expense,
with the terms of the each of the Principal Agreements and to notify promptly
Secured Party of any adverse development of which Borrower becomes aware with
regard to any Principal Agreement, including any claim of breach of or default
under, or threat of nonrenewal or termination of, or litigation involving any
Principal Agreement.
2.13 Encumbrance of Principal Agreements. Borrower agrees that if
-----------------------------------
Borrower is permitted by the terms thereof to grant a security interest in any
Principal Agreement to Secured Party to secure the Obligations, then at Secured
Party's request, Borrower shall grant such security interest in favor of Secured
Party and shall promptly obtain, procure, execute and deliver, file and affix
such further agreements (including modification of this Loan Agreement),
assignments, instruments, documents, notices, statements, writings (including
financing statements), powers (including stock and bond powers, and powers of
attorney), tax stamps and information, and shall do or cause to be done all such
further acts and things (including the execution, delivery and filing of
financing statements on Form UCC-1) as Secured Party may reasonably request,
from time to time, in its discretion, to evidence and perfect such security
interest or otherwise in connection with such security interest and the
perfection thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower authorizes Secured
Party, to the extent permitted by law, to execute and file or file without
Borrower's signature, any and all financing statements (including a copy of this
Loan Agreement which shall be sufficient as a financing statement), amendments
thereto and continuations thereof as Secured Party deems necessary or
appropriate in connection therewith.
6
2.14 Financing Statements; Perfected Security Interest. The execution
-------------------------------------------------
and filing of the Financing Statements has been duly authorized by all
appropriate action on the part of Borrower (and any other Person named as debtor
therein) and Borrower (and any other Person named as debtor therein) has duly
executed the Financing Statements. The execution and delivery of this Loan
Agreement and the grant hereunder creates a valid security interest in the
Collateral which has attached and is enforceable. The filing offices set forth
on SCHEDULE 2.14 hereto ("Filing Offices") and made a part hereof are the only
offices where financing statements are required to be filed in order to perfect
such security interest in all Goods (including Inventory and Equipment), General
Intangibles, Accounts, fixtures, investment property, chattel paper and other
personal property included in the Collateral in which a security interest can be
perfected under the UCC by the filing of a financing statement ("Filing
Collateral"). The Secured Party's security interest in all Collateral is a first
priority security interest, and upon the filing of the financing statements with
respect to the Filing Collateral, and upon delivery into Secured Party's
possession of other Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected
under the UCC by obtaining possession, Secured Party's security interest therein
will be a perfected first priority security interest subject to no other
security interest, Liens or encumbrances other than and only then to the extent
of the Permitted Encumbrances.
2.15 No Conflict. Borrower's execution, delivery and consummation of
-----------
the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement, the Note and other Loan
Documents do not and will not (with the passage of time or otherwise) (i)
conflict with, violate or constitute a default under any law, rule, regulation,
order, decree, contract, agreement (including the Principal Agreements), note,
mortgage, bond, indenture, lease, license, organizational documents, or
obligation of or applicable to Borrower or the Collateral or (ii) grant, create
or result in any Lien, claim, encumbrance or right in favor of any Person (other
than Secured Party as contemplated hereby) on or to Borrower's Business,
Properties or other assets (including the Collateral and the Principal
Agreements).
2.16 No Consent Required. Except for the filing of the Financing
-------------------
Statements with the Filing Offices (and the recording of the Mortgages, if any),
no consent, authorization, approval, license, permit, registration, exemption,
filing, notice or declaration of, from, with or to any other Person or any
court, government, agency or regulatory authority is required prior to or
otherwise in connection with (x) Borrower's execution, delivery and performance
of this Loan Agreement, the Notes and other Loan Documents, (y) the grant of the
security interest hereunder, or (z) the validity, perfection and maintenance of
the security interest created hereby.
2.17 Purpose for Loans. Borrower does not intend to (and will not) use
-----------------
all or any portion of the Loan to purchase or carry any securities, including,
without limitation, Margin Stock. None of the proceeds of the Loan will be used,
directly or indirectly, for the purposes of reducing or retiring any
indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock
or other security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to
be considered a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulations G, U, T or X
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. Borrower
intends to and agrees to use the proceeds of the Loan solely for the lawful,
proper business or commercial purposes set forth in its application for the
Loan. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans provided by
7
Secured Party to Borrower only for payments to each of the Persons listed in the
disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrower to Secured Party on or about
the date hereof including, without limitation, payments of the costs, expenses
and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery
of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and for general operating,
working capital and other proper corporate purposes of Borrower not otherwise
prohibited by the terms hereof.
2.18 Compliance Certificates; Reports; Communications.
------------------------------------------------
2.18.1 Borrower agrees to provide the following to Secured Party:
(i) within ten (10) days after the end of each month during the twelve (12)
month period after the Date of Note (as defined in the Notes), sales reports
(including year-to-date amount and any reports required under the Principal
Agreements) and Borrower's operating statements for each Property; (ii) within
thirty (30) days of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each
calendar year during the term of this Loan Agreement, a Compliance Certificate
(in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT E) and quarterly financial statements of
---------
Borrower certified by Borrower's chief financial officer which fairly present in
all material respects Borrower's financial condition and results of operations
for such period; and (iii) within seventy-five (75) days of December 31 of each
calendar year during the term of this Loan Agreement, a Compliance Certificate
and audited financial statements of Borrower together with the report thereon by
Borrower's Independent Accountants. Borrower further agrees to provide to
Secured Party (i) promptly following receipt by Borrower, complete copies of any
communications that are or may be materially adverse to, or which reflect
information which is or may be materially adverse to Borrower, its Business or
the Collateral and (ii) copies of such other reports and information, estoppels
and authorizations as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request
promptly following any such request. The financial statements furnished to
Secured Party hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis and shall be sufficiently detailed to allow Secured Party to
calculate FCCR and DSCR and determine compliance with other financial covenants.
2.18.2 Borrower shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Secured
Party such budgets, forecasts, projections and other information respecting the
Collateral and the business of Borrower (including the Business) as Secured
Party may, from time to time, reasonably request. Secured Party is hereby
authorized to deliver, from time to time, a copy of any financial statement or
any other information relating to the business of Borrower (including the
Business) to any court or other government agency or to any participant or
assignee or prospective participant or assignee. Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs all accountants or auditors to deliver to Secured Party,
at Borrower's expense, copies of the financial statements of Borrower and any
reports or management letters prepared by such accountants or auditors on behalf
of Borrower and to disclose to Secured Party such information as they may have
regarding the business of Borrower (including the Business). Any documents,
schedules, invoices or other papers delivered to Secured Party may (but shall
not be required to) be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Secured Party at
any time after the same are delivered to Secured Party, except as otherwise
designated by Borrower to Secured Party in writing.

2.18.3 Borrower shall on or before the date of execution of this
Loan Agreement have delivered to Secured Party financial statements of Borrower
for the twelve (12) month period preceding the date hereof in form consistent
with that required for annual financial statements as set forth in Section
2.18.1 hereof. In addition, if requested by Secured Party, Borrower shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Secured Party, within thirty (30) days
after the date of this Loan Agreement, a balance sheet of Borrower, prepared by
Borrower's Independent Accountant in accordance with GAAP, which shall present
fairly in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower as of the
Date of Note after giving effect to the Loan and all other transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.
2.19 Accuracy of Information. All information, reports, statements
-----------------------
and financial and other data furnished (or hereafter furnished) by Borrower, its
Affiliates or their respective agents or representatives to Secured Party, its
agents or representatives hereunder or in connection with the Loan and the
Obligations, are (and shall be on the date so furnished) true, complete and
correct in all material respects, shall not contain any untrue statement of
material fact and shall not omit to state any fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the
circumstances under which such statements are made. All financial projections
that have been or are hereafter prepared by or on behalf of Borrower, its
Affiliates or their respective agents or representatives have been and shall be
prepared in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions. Borrower shall
promptly advise Secured Party when Borrower becomes aware that any assumptions
made in connection with any projections previously provided to Secured Party
prove to be incorrect or untrue in any material respect. No Event of Default (or
event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be an
Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing. To Borrower's knowledge, no
event or circumstance has occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or prospects of
Borrower (including the Business) which has not been fully and accurately
disclosed to Secured Party in writing and reflected in the Borrower's financial
information and projections and in the Appraisal.
2.20 Maintenance of Collateral and Business; Casualty and
----------------------------------------------------
Condemnation. At Borrower's sole cost and expense, Borrower shall (i) keep, use,
------------
operate and maintain the Collateral, the Business and the Properties in
accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and in accordance with
the standards, if any, established by any of the Principal Agreements, (ii)
operate the Business at the Properties in accordance with each of the Principal
Agreements and customary, prudent business practices, (iii) at all times fully
comply with terms and provisions of each of the Principal Agreements and (iv)
not do or suffer to be done any act whereby the value of the Collateral, the
Properties or the Business or any part or interest therein may be lessened in
any material respect. Borrower shall notify Secured Party promptly of any actual
or threatened destruction or material damage or impairment of the Business, or
any of the Collateral or the Properties.
2.20.1 (i) In the event of any casualty or condemnation
proceedings or action with respect to any Property (a "Loss"), Borrower shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Secured Party. Any insurance proceeds or
awards with respect to such Loss in an amount
9
greater than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the "Loss Proceeds") shall be
payable to Secured Party. Borrower shall have no right to settle or compromise,
and shall not settle or compromise, any claim or proceeding relating to such
Loss or Loss Proceeds without Secured Party's consent. Borrower shall proceed
promptly and diligently to prosecute in good faith the settlement or compromise
of any and all claims or proceedings relating to such Loss or Loss Proceeds;
provided, however, any such settlement or compromise shall be subject to Secured
-------- -------
Party's consent. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance
company and any affected governmental body responsible for a condemnation to
make payment of the Loss Proceeds directly to Secured Party. If Borrower
receives any Loss Proceeds, Borrower shall promptly pay over such Loss Proceeds
to Secured Party. Borrower hereby covenants that until such Loss Proceeds are so
paid over to Secured Party, Borrower shall hold such Loss Proceeds in trust for
the benefit of Lender and shall not commingle such Loss Proceeds with any other
funds or assets of Borrower or any other party.
(ii) Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns to Secured Party all
Loss Proceeds to which Borrower may become entitled if a Loss occurs (regardless
of whether Borrower was obligated hereunder to obtain the insurance policy or
policies from which such Loss Proceeds are derived). All Loss Proceeds shall be
paid to Secured Party and applied pursuant to this Section 2.20.1. Subject to
the last sentence of this Section 2.20.1(ii), Borrower shall take all
appropriate action in connection with each such proceeding, settlement and
adjustment and shall pay all expenses thereof, including, if Secured Party shall
elect to participate therein, the cost of Secured Party's participation;
provided, however, that any final settlement or adjustment shall be subject to
-------- -------
the prior written consent of Secured Party unless the Loss Proceeds are
sufficient to prepay the Obligations in full in cash. So long as an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may, at its option
and with respect to its interests as set forth herein, commence, appear in and
prosecute, in its own name, any such action or proceeding or make any compromise
or settlement in connection with such damage, destruction or taking and obtain
directly all Loss Proceeds.
(iii) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, if Borrower suffers a Loss, Borrower shall restore the Property (or,
in the case of a taking, the remaining Property) to the same condition, as
nearly as possible, as existed immediately prior to such casualty or taking,
whether or not the Loss Proceeds are sufficient therefor. If the cost of any
restoration made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20.1 shall exceed the
amount of the Loss Proceeds, such deficiency shall be paid by Borrower. The
Loss Proceeds shall be held by Secured Party or its agent or representatives and
shall be disbursed to Borrower as hereinafter set forth, provided that if the
estimated cost of such restoration exceeds the amount of the Loss Proceeds,
Borrower shall deliver to Secured Party or its agent or representative the
estimated deficiency before commencing work. Secured Party or its agent or
representative shall release such Loss Proceeds to Borrower, subject to such
reasonable procedural requirements as Secured Party or its agent or
representative may prescribe, from time to time, and provided that such amounts
shall be disbursed not more often than once monthly, as the restoration
progresses, upon Borrower's written request, accompanied by a certificate of the
architect or engineer in charge of the restoration or by an authorized officer
or managing partner of Borrower, stating that the sum then requested either has
been paid by Borrower or is justly due to the named persons (whose
10
addresses shall also be stated) who have rendered services or furnished
materials for certain portions of the restoration. The certificate shall give a
brief description of such services and materials, shall list the amounts so paid
or owing to each of such persons, shall state the estimated cost of the balance
of the work yet to be performed, and shall state that no part of such
expenditures has been or is being made the basis for any other request for
payment. Upon compliance with the foregoing, Secured Party or its agent shall
pay out of the Loss Proceeds to the extent available to the persons named in the
certificate the respective amounts stated to be due to them or shall pay to
Borrower the amount stated to have been paid by Borrower to such persons.
(iv) So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then such Loss Proceeds shall be applied at the option and direction
of Secured Party either to the restoration of the Property as set forth above or
to the prepayment of the outstanding Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest.
2.21 Insurance. At Borrower's sole cost and expense, Borrower shall
---------
do the following:
(i) (a) keep the Collateral (which for purposes of this Section 2.21
shall be deemed to include the Properties) insured against loss or damage by
fire, theft, collision and other hazards (including flood, if no certification
or other evidence satisfactory to Secured Party is delivered to Secured Party to
the effect that the Property is not located within a federally designated
special flood hazard area) as may be required by the Principal Agreements and
Secured Party and by policies of fire, extended coverage and other insurance
with such company or companies, in such amounts and form (and, with respect to
policies required for property, fire and flood insurance in an amount not less
than the lesser of (A) the replacement value thereof and (B) the Maximum Loan
Amount), as may be required by the Principal Agreements or required by or
acceptable to Secured Party, but in no event less than the minimum amount
required to prevent the imposition of any coinsurance requirement on the
insured, (b) maintain liability insurance of not less than an amount reasonably
satisfactory to Secured Party, (c) maintain business interruption insurance with
scope and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, and (d) maintain
such other insurance (including certain minimum levels of acceptable workers'
compensation, property damage, earthquake insurance and general public liability
insurance) as may be required by the Secured Party and Principal Agreements;
(ii) cause all insurance policies required hereunder (a) to be
maintained by providers either (A) having ratings of not less than A-VI from
A.M. Best Company Inc. (or comparable ratings from a comparable rating agency)
or (B) who, if not so rated, have been approved by Secured Party and (b) to
contain a standard non-contributory lender's loss payable endorsement or
mortgagee's endorsement in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party
providing for payment directly to Secured Party and/or its designees and
providing for a minimum of 30-days notice to Secured Party prior to cancellation
or modification or nonrenewal and providing that Secured Party may act as
attorney for Borrower in obtaining, and at any time an Event of Default exists
or has occurred and is continuing, adjusting, settling, amending and canceling
such insurance. Such lender's loss payable endorsements shall specify that the
11
proceeds of such insurance shall be payable to Secured Party as its interests
may appear and further specify that Secured Party shall be paid regardless of
any act or omission by Borrower or any of its Affiliates;
(iii) timely pay all premiums, fees and charges required in connection
with all of its insurance policies and otherwise continue to maintain such
policies in full force and effect;
(iv) promptly deliver the insurance policies, certificates (and
renewals) thereof or other evidence of compliance herewith to Secured Party; and
(v) promptly notify Secured Party of any loss covered by or claim
under or notice made in connection with any such insurance policies. Borrower
shall allow Secured Party to join Borrower in adjusting any loss or claim in
excess of the Loss Proceeds. At its option, Secured Party may apply any
insurance proceeds received by Secured Party at any time to the cost of repairs
or replacement of Collateral and/or to payment of the Obligations, whether or
not then due, in any order and in such manner as Secured Party may determine or
hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations.
2.22 Compliance with Laws; No Violation; Indemnity.
---------------------------------------------
(i) Borrower is and shall continue to be in compliance in all
material respects with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules,
regulations, licenses, permits, approvals and orders of any governmental
authority relating to its business, including, without limitation, those set
forth in or promulgated pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, all
federal, state and local statutes, regulations, rules and orders relating to
consumer credit, all federal, state and local statutes, regulations, rules and
orders pertaining to sales of consumer goods (including, without limitation, the
Consumer Products Safety Act of 1972, as amended, and the Federal Trade
Commission Act of 1914, as amended and all regulations, rules and orders
promulgated thereunder). Borrower has obtained all material permits, licenses,
approvals, consents, certificates, orders or authorizations of any governmental
agency required for the lawful conduct of its business and is in compliance in
all material respects with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules,
regulations, orders, permits, approvals and stipulations of any governmental
agency (including, but not limited to, the Department of State, the Department
of Commerce, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Environmental
Protection Agency) relating to its business (including, without limitation,
those set forth in or promulgated pursuant to ERISA and those related to
environmental pollution and employee health and safety (including the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1938, as amended, the Code, and the Environmental Laws).
(ii) (a) Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate (as
hereinafter defined) currently maintains or is obligated to contribute to an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (an "ERISA Plan"). Within the five-year
period ending on the date hereof, no ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material
liability to the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the
12
"PBGC"), the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or an ERISA Plan on
account of any failure to meet the contribution requirements or minimum funding
standards of, or prohibited transactions with respect to, any ERISA Plan, the
administration or termination of any single employer pension plan which is an
ERISA Plan, or any partial or complete withdrawal from, or the insolvency,
reorganization or termination of, a multiemployer plan which is an ERISA Plan,
and no event has occurred and no condition exists which presents a material risk
that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates will incur liabilities on account of
the foregoing circumstances which are material in aggregate. As used in this
Loan Agreement, the term "ERISA Affiliate" means the Borrower and every
---------------
Affiliate and any other trade or business, whether or not incorporated, which is
subject to ERISA and which is from time to time a member of a controlled group
or a group under common control with the Borrower (within the meaning of Section
414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code or Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA), and other
terms used in this Section 2.22 shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code.
(b) Solely for the purposes of making the representation in the next
sentence and only to the extent that the accuracy of the representation made by
this sentence affects the accuracy of the representation in the next sentence,
neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates is a "party in interest" (within
-----------------
the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA) with respect to any ERISA Plan, and none
of their securities are "employer securities" (within the meaning of Section
-------------------
407(d) of ERISA) with respect to any ERISA Plan. The acquisition of the Notes
by Secured Party does not and will not constitute a "prohibited transaction"
----------------------
(within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA).
(iii) Borrower has not and shall not acquire, obtain, make,
manufacture, produce, operate, hold, possess, maintain, use, sell, transfer,
grant, pledge, or dispose of (for purposes of this Section, collectively
"Borrower's Use") any of its business (including the Business), securities,
property or assets (including any proceeds of the Loan, any Collateral and the
Properties) in violation of any statute, law, rule, ordinance, regulation,
policy, procedure, injunction, award, decree, judgment, contract, agreement
(including the Principal Agreements), understanding, or right or interest of any
other Person (for purposes of this Section, collectively "Violation"), and to
Borrower's knowledge no such Violation has been made by any other Person and no
basis for a claim of any such violation exists. Borrower shall indemnify and
hold Secured Party harmless from and against any such Violation or any breach of
this Section 2.22, and any other loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
whatsoever (including attorneys fees and disbursements) arising out of or in
connection with Borrower's Use of any of its business (including the Business),
securities, property or assets (including any proceeds of the Loan, any
Collateral and the Properties). The indemnification provisions of this Section
2.22 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this
Loan Agreement.
2.23 Subsidiaries. Borrower does not have any subsidiaries on the
------------
date hereof other than those listed on SCHEDULE 2.23 hereto and shall not,
during the term hereof, create or own any other subsidiaries without prior
notice to and written consent of Secured Party.
13
2.24 Tax Returns. Borrower and each of its Affiliates and each
-----------
Person which might have tax liabilities for which Borrower or any Affiliates is
or may be liable (each, a "Tax Party") has filed, or caused to be filed, and
will continue to file in a timely manner all tax returns, reports and
declarations which are required to be filed by it (without requests for
extension). All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations is
complete and accurate in all material respects. Each Tax Party has paid or
caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any
assessment received by it, and has collected, deposited and remitted in
accordance with all applicable laws all sales and/or use taxes applicable to the
conduct of its business, except taxes the validity of which are being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to
Borrower and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its
books. No extensions of the time for the assessment of deficiencies have been
granted by any Tax Party. There are no material Liens on any properties or
assets of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates imposed or arising as a result
of the delinquent payment or the nonpayment of any tax, assessment, fee or other
governmental charge. The income tax returns of the Borrower and its Affiliates
have been examined and reported upon by the relevant tax authorities, or closed
by applicable statutes of limitations, for all fiscal years through the fiscal
year ended immediately prior to the date of the Note, and neither the Borrower
nor any of its Affiliates nor any such entity has given or consented to any
waiver of the statute of limitations with respect to its tax liabilities for any
such year. Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all other
accrued and unpaid Federal, State, county, local, foreign and other taxes
whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed. Borrower has
collected and deposited in a segregated subaccount or remitted to the
appropriate tax authority all sales and/or use taxes applicable to its business
required to be collected under the laws of the United States and each possession
or territory thereof, and each State or political subdivision thereof, including
any State in which Borrower owns any Inventory or owns or leases any other
property, and Borrower knows of no transaction or matter which might or could
result in additional tax assessments to any Tax Party in the ordinary course.
There are no applicable taxes, fees or other governmental charges payable by any
Tax Party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement,
and the other Loan Documents by Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the offer,
issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes by Borrower. Borrower shall be liable
for any tax or penalties imposed on Secured Party as a result of the financing
arrangements provided for herein and Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
Secured Party harmless with respect to the foregoing, and to repay to Secured
Party on demand the amount thereof, and until paid by Borrower such amount shall
be added to and deemed part of the Obligations, provided, that, nothing
-------- ----
contained herein shall be construed to require Borrower to pay any income or
franchise taxes attributable to the income of Secured Party from any amounts
charged or paid hereunder to Secured Party. The foregoing indemnity shall
survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Loan
Agreement.
2.25 Litigation. Except as set forth on the INFORMATION SCHEDULE
----------
annexed hereto, there is no present investigation by any governmental agency
pending, or to the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened against or affecting
Borrower, its assets or Business and there is no action, suit, proceeding or
claim by any Person pending, or to the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened,
against Borrower or its assets or Business, or against or affecting any
transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement.

list of (a) all of the Credit Card Agreements and all other agreements,
documents and instruments existing as of the date hereof between or among
Borrower, the Credit Card Issuers, the Credit Card Processors and any of their
affiliates, (b) the percentage of each sale payable to the Credit Card Issuer or
Credit Card Processor under the terms of the Credit Card Agreements, (c) all
other fees and charges payable by Borrower under or in connection with the

Credit Card Agreements constitute all of such agreements necessary for Borrower
to operate its business as presently conducted with respect to credit cards and
debit cards and no Accounts of Borrower arise from purchases by customers of
Inventory with credit cards or debit cards, other than those which are issued by
Credit Card Issuers with whom Borrower has entered into one of the Credit Card
Agreements set forth on SCHEDULE 2.26 hereto. Each of the Credit Card
Agreements constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and,
to the best of Borrower's knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable in
accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect. No default or event
of default, or act, condition or event which after notice or passage of time or
both, would constitute a default or an event of default under any of the Credit
Card Agreements, exists or has occurred. Borrower and, to Borrower's knowledge,
the other parties thereto have complied with all of the terms and conditions of
the Credit Card Agreements to the extent necessary for Borrower to be entitled
to receive all payments thereunder. Borrower has delivered, or caused to be
delivered, to Secured Party true, correct and complete copies of all of the

covenants, conditions and provisions of the Credit Card Agreements to be

Borrower shall give Secured Party not less than thirty (30) days' prior written
notice of its intention to so terminate or cancel any of the Credit Card
Agreements; (d) not enter into any new Credit Card Agreements with any new
Credit Card Issuer unless (i) Secured Party shall have received not less than
thirty (30) days prior written notice of the intention of Borrower to enter into
such agreement (together with such other information with respect thereto as

delivers, or causes to be delivered to Secured Party, a Credit Card
Acknowledgment in favor of Secured Party concurrently with entering into such
Credit Card Agreement; (e) give Secured Party immediate written notice of any
Credit Card Agreement entered into by Borrower after the date hereof, together
with a true, correct and complete copy thereof and such other information with
respect thereto as Secured Party may request; and (f) furnish to Secured Party,
promptly upon the request of Secured Party, such information and evidence as
Secured Party may
15
reasonably require from time to time concerning the observance, performance and
compliance by Borrower or the other party or parties thereto with the terms,
covenants or provisions of the Credit Card Agreements. Borrower shall notify
Secured Party promptly of: (i) any material default by Borrower under any of the
Credit Card Agreements or of any default which might result in the Credit Card

to Borrower; (ii) any notice from any Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card
Processor that such Person is ceasing or suspending, or will cease or suspend,
any present or future payments due or to become due to Borrower from such
Person, or that such Person is terminating or will terminate any of the Credit
Card Agreements; and (iii) the failure of Borrower to comply with any material
terms of the Credit Card Agreements or any terms thereof which might result in
the Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor ceasing or suspending payments
to Borrower.
2.27 Purchase Agreement; Bring Down of Representations; Survival of
--------------------------------------------------------------
Warranties; Cumulative. Borrower will cooperate with Secured Party in connection
----------------------
with any sale or other disposition of the Loan by Secured Party and the
provisions of the Commitment with respect thereto are hereby incorporated by
reference as if set forth herein in their entirety. In this regard, Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees to execute and deliver in connection with the sale
or other disposition of the Loan, or any interest therein, at such time and from
time to time, as required by Secured Party, a purchase agreement and such other
agreements, documents, estoppels, consents or instruments as Secured Party may,
from time to time, reasonably request in connection with any such disposition,
including certificates reaffirming the representations and covenants of Borrower
hereunder as if made on the date of any such reaffirmation. All representations
and warranties contained in this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement and
shall be deemed to have been made again to Secured Party on the date of each
additional borrowing or other credit accommodation hereunder and shall be
conclusively presumed to have been relied on by Secured Party regardless of any
investigation made or information possessed by Secured Party. The
representations and warranties set forth herein shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other representations or warranties which Borrower shall now or
hereafter give, or cause to be given, to Secured Party.
2.28 Capitalization; Solvency.
------------------------
2.28.1 All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Borrower
is directly and beneficially owned and held by the Person identified on the
INFORMATION SCHEDULE annexed hereto and all of such capital stock has been duly
authorized and is fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all
claims, Liens, pledges and encumbrances of any kind; provided, however, that to
-------- -------
the extent no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Person
identified on the INFORMATION SCHEDULE annexed hereto may transfer its capital
stock of Borrower to Permitted Transferees if such Person retains voting control
through proxy or otherwise over the capital stock transferred to such Permitted
Transferees.
2.28.2 Borrower (a) is solvent and will continue to be solvent
after giving effect to the Obligations, the security interests of Secured Party
and the other transactions
16
contemplated hereunder, and (b) is able to pay its debts as they mature and has
(and has reason to believe it will continue to have) sufficient capital (and not
unreasonably small capital) to carry on its business and all businesses in which
it is about to engage. Based upon the Appraisal, the assets and properties of
Borrower at a fair valuation and at their present fair salable value are, and
will be, greater than the indebtedness of Borrower, and including any
subordinated and contingent liabilities computed at the amount which, to the
best of Borrower's knowledge, represents an amount which can reasonably be
expected to become an actual or matured liability.
2.29 Maintenance of Existence. Borrower shall at all times preserve,
------------------------
renew and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights and franchises
with respect thereto and maintain in full force and effect all permits,
licenses, trademarks, tradenames, approvals, authorizations, leases and
contracts necessary to carry on the Business as presently or proposed to be
conducted.
2.30 Notice of Material Adverse Changes. Borrower promptly shall
----------------------------------
notify Secured Party in writing of the details of any material loss, damage,
investigation, action, suit, proceeding or claim relating to the Collateral, the
Properties or any other property which is security for the Obligations or which
would result in any material adverse change in Borrower's Business, Properties,
Collateral (including goodwill) or condition, financial or otherwise, and the
occurrence of any Event of Default or act, condition or event which, with the
passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of
Default.
2.31 Sale of Assets, Consolidation, Merger, Dissolution, Etc.
--------------------------------------------------------
Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly do or agree to do any of the
following:
2.31.1 merge into or with or consolidate with any other Person or
permit any other Person to merge into or with or consolidate with it unless

the rights of the Secured Party in the Properties or the Collateral, (b) sell,
assign, lease, transfer, abandon or otherwise dispose of any stock or
indebtedness or any assets other than Collateral if after giving effect thereto
there would be a breach of Section 2.8 hereof , (c) take or permit to be taken
any action which would constitute a Transfer under the Mortgages, or (d) sell,
assign, lease, transfer, abandon or otherwise dispose of any Properties or the
Collateral except for the following in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with present business practice and the requirements of the Principal
Agreements:
(i) sales of Inventory;
(ii) the disposition of worn-out or obsolete Equipment so long as if
an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, any proceeds are
paid to Secured Party and such sales do not involve Equipment having an
aggregate fair market value in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) for all
such Equipment disposed of in any fiscal year of Borrower; and
17
(iii) the sale or disposition of the property set forth on SCHEDULE
2.31 hereto in accordance with commercially reasonable business practices;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of
-------- -------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur (including, without
limitation, under Section 2.8 hereof) under any other Section of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document after giving effect to the following, the Borrower
shall be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral and will not be
required to elect the Defeasance Option under the Note as a result solely of
such disposition of Collateral, so long as (i) Borrower shall provide Secured
-- ---- --
Party with not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of the proposed
disposition, (ii) Borrower shall grant Secured Party a first priority security
interest in and lien on additional assets of Borrower (the "Replacement
Collateral") which shall be have an Appraised Value equal to or greater than
that of the Collateral being replaced and shall be otherwise acceptable in all
respects to Secured Party and (iii) Borrower shall execute and deliver to
Secured Party such agreements, documents and instruments as Secured Party may
deem necessary or desirable to perfect Secured Party's first priority security
interest in the Replacement Collateral which shall be deemed Collateral for all
purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.32 Encumbrances. Borrower shall not create, incur, assume or suffer
------------
to exist any security interest, mortgage, pledge, Lien, charge or other
encumbrance of any nature whatsoever on any of the Collateral, Properties and
Principal Agreements, except the following permitted encumbrances ("Permitted
------
Encumbrances"):
2.32.1 Liens and security interests of Secured Party;
2.32.2 Liens securing the payment of taxes, either not yet overdue
or the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently pursued and available to Borrower and with respect to
which adequate reserves have been set aside on its books;
2.32.3 non-consensual statutory Liens (other than Liens securing the
payment of taxes) arising in the ordinary course of Borrower's business to the

hold all securities, investment property, instruments, chattel paper, documents,
certificates and money and other writings evidencing or relating to the
Collateral in trust for Secured Party and, upon and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, to the extent the same shall, from time to time, be in
Borrower's possession, upon request or as otherwise provided herein, Borrower
shall promptly deliver the same to Secured Party in the form received (with any
necessary endorsements) and at a time and in a manner satisfactory to Secured
Party. With respect to the Collateral in Borrower's possession, Borrower shall
at Secured Party's request take such action as Secured Party in its discretion
deems necessary or desirable to create, perfect and protect Secured Party's

--------------------------
Collateral delivered or transferred to, or otherwise in the custody or control

its agents or representatives in accordance with this Loan Agreement, Borrower
agrees that: (i) such Collateral will be and be deemed to be in the sole
possession of Secured Party; (ii) Borrower has no right to withdraw or
substitute any
28
such Collateral; and (iii) Borrower shall not take or permit any action, or
exercise any voting and other rights, powers and privileges in respect of the

received by it, and without affecting or discharging the Obligations: (a)
further transfer and segregate the Collateral in its possession; (b) receive
Collateral Revenues or proceeds and hold the same as a part of the Collateral
and/or apply the same as hereinafter provided; and (c) exchange any of the

authorized (i) to exercise or cause its nominee to exercise all or any rights,
powers and privileges (including to vote) on or with respect to the Collateral
with the same force and effect as an absolute owner thereof; (ii) whether any of
the Obligations be due, in its name or in Borrower's name or otherwise, to
demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or
receivable on account of or in exchange for, or make any compromise or
settlement Secured Party deems desirable with respect to, any of the Collateral;
and (iii) to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or
otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the rights accorded Secured Party with respect to the Collateral
and except to the extent provided below or required by the UCC or other
applicable law (if such requirement cannot be modified, waived or excused),
Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the Collateral in its possession (with
respect to custody, preservation, safekeeping or otherwise and whether under
Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise) will be to deal with it in the same
manner that Secured Party deals with similar property owned and possessed by it.
Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party, and any of its officers,
directors, members, partners, trustees, owners, employees, representatives and
agents, to the extent permitted by law, will: (A) have no duty with respect to
the Collateral or the rights granted hereunder; (B) not be required to sell,
invest, substitute, replace or otherwise dispose of the Collateral; (C) not be
required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior
parties to any of the Collateral; (D) not be liable for (or deemed to have made
an election of or exercised any right or remedy on account of) any delay or
failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral; and (E) have
no obligation or liability in connection with the Collateral or arising under
this Loan Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.
Borrower agrees that such standard of care is reasonable and appropriate.

limited liability company in which Borrower is a partner or member (each

consolidate, suspend the transaction of business, attempt to terminate (except
strictly in accordance with its terms), revoke or disclaim any obligation to

or prospects; or if Borrower or any Other Liable Party shall be expelled from or

subject to any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar
proceeding, or a receiver or liquidator, custodian or trustee shall be appointed
for Borrower or any Other Liable Party, or a substantial portion of any of
Borrower's or their respective assets and, if any of the foregoing shall occur
involuntarily as to Borrower and any Other Liable Party, it shall not be
dismissed with prejudice, stayed or discharged within thirty (30) days; or if
Borrower or any Other Liable Party shall take any action to effect, or which
indicates its acquiescence in, any of the foregoing.
7. REMEDIES.
--------
7.1 Cumulative Rights and Remedies. Secured Party has been granted
------------------------------
hereunder, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default may exercise, the
rights, powers and remedies of: (i) secured parties under the UCC or other
applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (ii) secured parties under any other
applicable statute, law, rule or regulation; and (iii) Secured Party under this
Loan Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages and any other Loan Document and other
agreement between Borrower and Secured Party. In addition, all such rights,
powers and remedies shall be cumulative and not alternative and enforceable, in
Secured Party's discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any
one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply
to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach
by Borrower of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any
single or partial exercise of, or forbearance, failure or delay in exercising
any right, power or remedy shall not be, nor shall any such single or partial
exercise of, or forbearance, failure or delay be deemed to be a limitation,
modification or waiver of any right, power or remedy and shall not preclude the
further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of Secured Party
shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power and remedy is
specifically waived by an instrument in writing executed and delivered with
respect to each such waiver by Secured Party.
7.2 Acceleration of Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
---------------------------
Default, and at any time thereafter if any Event of Default shall then be
continuing, Secured Party may, from time to time in its discretion, by written
notice to Borrower declare any or all of the Notes (including, without
limitation, an amount equal to that required to be paid if the Loan were prepaid
as described in Paragraph 5, "Acceleration; Expenses" of the Note) and any other
----------------------
Obligations to be immediately due and payable whereupon (and, ipso facto,
----------
automatically without any notice, demand or other action by any Person, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default of the type referred to in Section 6.1.3
hereof) such principal, interest and other Obligations shall be immediately due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the maximum extent permitted by
law and such amounts, to the extent not paid on the date of acceleration, shall
thereafter bear interest until paid at the Default Rate.
7.3 Additional Rights of Secured Party. Upon the occurrence of an
----------------------------------
Event of Default, Secured Party may, from time to time, in its discretion, and
without Borrower's assent,
31
without advertisements or notices of any kind (except for the notice specified
in Section 7.5 hereof regarding notice required in connection with a public or
private sale), or demand of performance or other demand, or obligation or
liability (except to account for amounts actually received) to or upon Borrower
or any other person (all such advertisements, notices and demands, obligation
and liabilities, if any, hereby being expressly waived and discharged to the
extent permitted by law), forthwith, directly or through its agents or
representatives: (i) disclose such default and other matters (including the name
of Borrower) in connection therewith in Secured Party's reasonable discretion to
any other Person; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law enter any
premises, with or without the assistance of other persons or legal process;
(iii) require Borrower to account for (including accounting for any products and
proceeds of any Collateral), segregate, assemble, make available and deliver to
Secured Party, its agents or representatives, the Collateral, at any place and
time designated by Secured Party; (iv) take possession of, operate, render
unusable, remove from any location, collect, transfer and receive, recover,
appropriate, foreclose, extend payment of, adjust, compromise, settle, release
any claims included in, and do all other acts or things necessary or, in Secured
Party's sole discretion appropriate, to protect, maintain, preserve and realize
upon, the Collateral and any products and proceeds thereof, in whole or in part;
and (v) exercise all rights, powers and interests with respect to any and all
Properties and Collateral, and sell, assign, lease, license, pledge, transfer,
negotiate (including endorse checks, drafts, orders, or instruments), deliver or
otherwise dispose (by contract, option(s) or otherwise) of the Properties, the
Collateral or any part thereof. Any such disposition may be in one or more
public or private sales, at or upon an exchange, board or system or in the
County, in the State or elsewhere, at such price, for cash or credit (or for
future delivery without credit risk) and upon such other terms and conditions as
it deems appropriate, with the right of Secured Party to the extent permitted by
law upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any
part of said Collateral, free of any right, claim or equity of redemption of or
in Borrower (such rights, claims and equity of redemption, if any, hereby being
expressly waived). If any of the Properties or Collateral is sold or leased by
Secured Party upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall
not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefore is finally collected
by Secured Party. In the event Secured Party institutes an action to recover any
Properties or Collateral or seeks recovery of any Properties or Collateral by
way of prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond which might
otherwise be required. Notwithstanding that Secured Party, whether in its own
behalf and/or on behalf of another or others, may continue to hold the
Properties or Collateral and regardless of the value thereof, or any delay or
failure to dispose thereof, unless and then only to the extent that Secured
Party proposes to retain the Properties or Collateral in satisfaction of the
Obligations by written notice in accordance with the UCC, Borrower shall be and
remain liable for the payment in full of any balance of the Obligations and
expenses at any time unpaid. Without limiting the foregoing, upon Borrower's
failure to abide by and comply with its obligations hereunder, in addition to
its other rights and remedies, Secured Party may (but is not required to), in
its sole discretion and to the extent it deems necessary, advisable or
appropriate, take or cause to be taken such actions or things to be done
(including, without limitation, (x) the payment or advancement of funds, or
requiring advancement of funds to be held by Secured Party to fund such
obligations, including taxes or insurance, and (y) taking, or causing to be
taken, remediation actions with respect to environmental problems on any
Property as may be required hereby (or necessary or desirable in connection
herewith) to correct such
32
failure (including causing the Collateral to be maintained or insurance
protection required hereby to be procured and maintained) and any and all costs
and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
in connection therewith shall be included in Borrower's Obligations and shall be
immediately due and payable and bear interest at the Default Rate.
7.4 Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. Secured Party may apply the
-----------------------------------
net proceeds, if any, of any collection, receipt, recovery, appropriation,
foreclosure or realization, or from any use, operation, sale, assignment, lease,
pledge, transfer, delivery or disposition of all or any of the Collateral and
the Properties, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees, court costs and legal expenses) incurred in connection
therewith or with respect to the care, safekeeping, custody, maintenance,
protection, administration or otherwise of any and all of said Collateral or in
any way relating to the rights of Secured Party under this Loan Agreement:
first, to the satisfaction of the Obligations, in whole or in part (whether or
not due) in such order as Secured Party may, in its discretion, elect; second,
to the payment, satisfaction or discharge of any other Indebtedness or
obligation (including any reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other
obligation to any Person), or otherwise as may be permitted or as required by
any law, rule or regulation (including Section 9-504(1)(c) of the UCC); and
lastly, the surplus, if any, to Borrower. In connection with any disposition of
the Collateral or Properties, Borrower shall remain liable to Secured Party for
the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for
herein (to the extent permitted by applicable law) and all costs and expenses of
collection or enforcement, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses. In applying any proceeds to any obligation secured by purchase money
security interest, the Secured Party shall use the "first-in-first-out" method
of allocation.
7.5 Required Notice of Sale. In exercising its rights, powers and
-----------------------
remedies as a secured party, Secured Party agrees to give Borrower ten (10)
days' notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the
time after which any private sale of Properties or Collateral may take place,
unless such Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value
or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Borrower agrees that
such period and notice is commercially reasonable under the circumstances.
8. POST-DEFAULT POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby irrevocably
------------------------------
constitutes and appoints Secured Party, acting through any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as Borrower's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in Borrower's place
and stead and in Borrower's name or in its own name, from time to time in
Secured Party's discretion on and after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower, to take any and all
action, to do all things, to execute, endorse, deliver and file any and all
writings, documents, instruments, notices, statements (including financing
statements, and writings to correct any error or ambiguity in any Loan
Document), applications and registrations (including registrations and licenses
for securities, Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks), checks, drafts,
acceptances, money orders, or other evidence of payment or proceeds, which may
be or become necessary or desirable in the sole discretion of Secured Party to
accomplish the terms, purposes and intent of this Loan
33
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the right to appear in and
defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral or
Properties, and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of
Borrower, which Secured Party, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable
to protect its interest in the Collateral or Property. Said attorney or designee
shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of
judgment or mistake of fact or law, unless and then only to the extent that the
same constitutes its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
9. HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms of this Loan Agreement, the
-----------------------------
Notes, the Mortgages and of the other Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. The foregoing
sentence shall not be construed to permit Borrower to assign the Loan except as
otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents. Secured Party and any successor
may, at any time, sell, transfer, or assign the Loan Agreement, the Notes, the
Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with
respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through
certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or
unrated public offering or private placement (the "Securities"). Secured Party
----------
may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant,
investor in such Securities or any rating agency (a "Rating Agency") rating such
-------------
Securities (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as an
"Investor") and each prospective Investor, all documents, financial and other
--------
information which Secured Party now has or may hereafter acquire relating to (a)
the Loan; (b) the Properties and their operation (including, without limitation,
copies of all leases, subleases or any other agreements concerning the use and
occupancy of the Properties); and/or (c) any party connected with the Loan
(including, without limitation, Borrower, any partner or member of Borrower, any
constituent partner or member of Borrower, and any guarantor). In connection
with such Securities, Borrower further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be
sufficient evidence of the obligations of Borrower to each Investor, and
Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days after request by Secured Party, deliver
an estoppel certificate verifying for the benefit of Secured Party and any other
party designated by Secured Party the status and the terms and provisions of the
Loan in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party, and enter into such
amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required
in order to facilitate the Securities without impairing Borrower's rights or
increasing Borrower's obligations. The representations, warranties,
obligations, covenants, and indemnity obligations of Borrower under the Loan
Documents shall also benefit and apply with respect to any purchaser,
transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower hereby saves, indemnifies and holds Secured
---------------
Party, its agents, representatives, directors, employees and counsel
(collectively, "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against all expenses,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties or
damages of any kind or nature, including attorneys' fees and expenses, imposed
on, asserted against, suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party in any way
relating to, or arising out of or in connection with this Loan Agreement, the
Notes, the Mortgages, the Loan Documents, the Obligations or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower will
pay to Indemnified Party all expenses
34
(including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or
incidental to, the negotiation of, entering into and enforcement of any of the
provisions hereof and of any of the Obligations, and any actual or attempted
sale, lease or other disposition of, and any exchange, enforcement, collection,
compromise or settlement of any of the Collateral and receipt of the proceeds
thereof, and for the care of the Properties and Collateral and defending or
asserting the rights and claims of Indemnified Party in respect thereof, by
litigation or otherwise, including expense of insurance, and all such expenses
shall constitute Obligations. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Indemnified
Party harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any
of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding
commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Loan Agreement, the
Notes, the Mortgages, any other Loan Documents, any other Obligation or any
undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto,
including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, but excluding any such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs and expenses directly caused to be incurred by
reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person otherwise to
be indemnified and held harmless under this Section, as determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that
the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section
may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower
shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law
to Indemnified Party in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section.
The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the
termination or non-renewal of this Loan Agreement.
11. OBLIGATIONS AND SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE. The Obligations are
------------------------------------------
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and will be paid or satisfied strictly
in accordance with their respective terms under all circumstances whatsoever,
including: the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any of, or any part of,
this Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, or any consent,
waiver, amendment or modification thereof; the existence of any claim, setoff,
defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against Secured
Party, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Loan Agreement, any
other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby, thereby or otherwise
all of which Borrower hereby waives to the maximum extent permitted by law; or
the loss, theft, damage, destruction or unavailability of the Collateral to
Borrower for any reason whatsoever, it being understood and agreed that Borrower
retains all liability and responsibility with respect to the Collateral. All
rights of the Secured Party and the security interests hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner,
amount or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
from the Notes or any other Loan Document; (b) any exchange, release or
nonperfection of all or any part of the Collateral or any other collateral, or
any release from, amendment to, waiver of or consent to departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or (c) to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a third party pledgor.
35
12. ASSIGNMENT. Secured Party's assignee shall, to the extent of the
----------
assignment, be vested with all the powers and rights of Secured Party hereunder
(including those granted under Sections 7 and 8 hereof or otherwise with respect
to the Collateral), and to the extent of such assignment the assignee may fully
enforce such rights and powers as a secured party and all references to Secured
Party shall mean and refer to such assignee. Secured Party shall retain all
rights and powers hereby given not so assigned, transferred and/or delivered.
Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower understands and agrees that Secured
Party may, from time to time, sell, pledge, grant a security interest in and
collaterally assign, transfer and deliver or otherwise encumber or dispose of
the Notes, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and
powers hereunder and thereunder, in whole or in part, in connection with the
Securitization or any other assignment or other disposition of the Notes.
Borrower may not, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, assign this Loan
Agreement or any other Loan Document or its rights hereunder or thereunder or
delegate its duties hereunder or thereunder without, in each instance, the
specific prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent may be withheld
or delayed in Secured Party's sole discretion, and payment of the amounts
required under and compliance with the terms of the Notes and other Loan
Documents; if Secured Party shall in its sole discretion consent to such
assignment, Borrower shall pay to Secured Party an assignment fee in an amount
equal to one percent (1%) of all outstanding Obligations, plus all of Secured
Party's costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of Secured Party's
attorneys) in connection with such assignment. For purposes of this Loan
Agreement, a Transfer (as defined in the Mortgages) shall constitute an
assignment hereof and shall be an Event of Default under Section 6.1.1 hereof.
13. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees, at any time and from time to
------------------
time, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, to obtain, procure, execute and
deliver, file and affix or cause to be obtained, procured, executed, delivered,
filed and affixed such further agreements, bills of sale and assignments,
instruments, documents, warehouse receipts, bills of lading, vouchers, invoices,
notices, statements, writings (including financing statements, and writings to
correct any error or ambiguity in any Loan Document), powers (including stock
and bond powers, and powers of attorney), tax stamps and information, and to do
or cause to be done all such further acts and things (including the execution,
delivery and filing of financing statements, payment of filing fees and
transfer, gains and recording taxes) and do and cause to be done all such other
acts as Secured Party may reasonably request, from time to time, in its
discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower authorizes Secured Party to
the extent permitted under the UCC to file this Loan Agreement or a copy hereof,
and the same shall be sufficient as a financing statement, and to execute and
file, or file without Borrower's signature, any and all financing statements,
amendments thereto and continuations thereof as Secured Party deems necessary or
appropriate and Borrower shall pay and indemnify Secured Party for and hold
Secured Party harmless from any and all costs and expenses in connection
therewith. Borrower further agrees that it will promptly notify Secured Party of
and, subject to Section 15.1 hereof, agree to correct any defect, error or
omission in the contents of any of the Loan Documents or in the execution,
delivery or acknowledgment thereof. The Borrower further agrees to execute, from
time to time, prior to or within three (3) months of the date hereof, and
otherwise promptly
36
following Secured Party's request, a Form 4506 Request for Copy of Transcript of
Tax Form or its successor form.
14. TERM.
----
This Loan Agreement shall be immediately in full force and effect as a
security agreement under the UCC upon Borrower's execution below, whether or not
it is signed by Secured Party. Upon indefeasible payment in full of the
Obligations in cash in accordance with the terms hereof, this Loan Agreement and
the security interested granted hereunder shall terminate and Secured Party, at
Borrower's expense, shall within a reasonable time following Borrower's request
execute and deliver to Borrower the proper instruments (including UCC
termination statements) acknowledging the termination of the security interest,
and will transfer (without recourse, representation or warranty) such Collateral
as may be in Secured Party's possession, and which is not to be retained, sold,
or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Loan Agreement, to Borrower,
except that the provisions of Sections 2.22, 2.24, 2.39 and 10 hereof shall
survive indefinitely. No termination of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall relieve or discharge Borrower of its respective duties,
obligations and covenants under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents
until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid in full in
cash, and Secured Party's continuing security interest in the Collateral and the
rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, under the other Loan Documents
and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been
fully and finally discharged and paid in cash.
15. MISCELLANEOUS.
-------------
15.1 Entire Agreement. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL
----------------
AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER AND SECURED PARTY AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF BORROWER AND
SECURED PARTY. BORROWER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ORAL AGREEMENTS AND ORAL
COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT
OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THERE ARE NO
ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN BORROWER AND SECURED PARTY. This Loan Agreement and the
Loan Documents represent the entire understanding of Secured Party and Borrower
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. None of the
terms or provisions of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document may be
waived, altered, modified, or amended except in each instance by a specific
written instrument duly executed by Secured Party. Any such waiver shall be
enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by
Secured Party of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which
Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in
kind or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission to act
shall be deemed to be a consent, authorization, representation or agreement of
Secured Party, under the UCC or otherwise, unless, in each instance, the same is
in a specific writing signed by Secured Party. The inclusion of Collateral
Revenues and Proceeds in the
37
Collateral does not and shall not be deemed to authorize Borrower to sell,
exchange of dispose the Collateral or the Principal Agreements or otherwise use
the Collateral in any manner not otherwise specifically authorized herein.

15.3 Sole Discretion of Secured Party; Reasonableness. Except as may
------------------------------------------------
otherwise be expressly provided to the contrary, wherever pursuant to the Notes,
the Mortgage, this Loan Agreement, or any other document or instrument now or
hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise with
respect to the Loan secured hereby, Secured Party exercises any right given to
Secured Party to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any
arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Secured Party, the decision of
Secured Party to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove or to
decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, shall be
in the sole and absolute discretion of Secured Party, as applicable, and shall
be final and conclusive. If at any time Borrower believes that Secured Party has
not acted reasonably in granting or withholding any approval or consent under
the Notes, the Mortgages, this Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document or
otherwise with respect to the Obligations, as to which approval or consent
either Secured Party has expressly agreed to act reasonably, or absent such
agreement, a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject matter would
require Secured Party to act reasonably, then Borrower's sole remedy shall be to
seek injunctive relief or specific performance and no action for monetary
damages or punitive damages shall in any event or under any circumstance be
maintained by Borrower against Secured Party. Secured Party shall not have any
liability to Borrower (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for
losses suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way
related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Loan
Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith,
unless and only to the extent that it is determined by a final and non-
appealable judgment or court order binding on Secured Party, that the losses
were the result of acts or omissions by Secured Party constituting gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Secured Party shall be
entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good
faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the
terms of this Loan Agreement.
15.4 Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid. Secured Party shall have
------------------------------------
the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due, without regard to
whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and without
prejudice to the right of Secured Party thereafter to bring an action of
foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing
at the time such earlier action was commenced.

15.5 WAIVERS. BORROWER HEREBY MAKES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT MAKES ALL
-------
OF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE MORTGAGES AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT DURESS,
AND ONLY AFTER EXTENSIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS WITH
ITS ATTORNEY; BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT TO SECURED PARTY TO MAKE THE LOAN TO BORROWER AND THAT SECURED PARTY
WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE LOAN WITHOUT SUCH WAIVERS; AND BORROWER HEREBY MAKES AND
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS WITH RESPECT TO EACH OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT.
15.6 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
-----------------------
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, AND SECURED PARTY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOTES AND
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR COUNTERCLAIM
ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE NOTE, THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE OBLIGATIONS.
15.7 Waiver of Notices. Borrower hereby expressly waives demand,
-----------------
presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect
to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any
of the Obligations, the Properties or the Collateral, and any and all other
demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
Obligations, the Properties, the Collateral and this Loan Agreement and any Loan
Documents, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or
demand on Borrower which Secured Party may elect to give shall entitle Borrower
to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower
waives notice prior to Secured Party's taking possession or control of any of
the Properties or the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required
by any court prior to allowing Secured Party to exercise any of Secured Party's
remedies, including the issuance of an immediate writ of possession and the
benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws.
15.8 Relationship. The relationship of Secured Party to Borrower
------------
hereunder is strictly and solely that of secured commercial lender on the one
hand and commercial borrower on the other in a commercial transaction and
nothing contained in the Notes, the Mortgages, this Loan Agreement or any other
Loan Document or otherwise in connection with the Obligations is intended to
create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as
creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or
other relationship of any nature whatsoever between Secured Party and Borrower
other than as secured commercial lender on the one hand and commercial borrower
on the other in a commercial transaction.
40
15.9 Waiver of Counterclaims. Borrower waives all rights to interpose
-----------------------
any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then
compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding brought by Secured Party
with respect to this Loan Agreement, any other Loan Documents, the Obligations,
the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.
15.10 No Conflict with Principal Agreements. This Loan Agreement and
-------------------------------------
the rights (including the remedies) granted and the duties imposed hereunder are
not intended to conflict with or contravene the Principal Agreements.
15.11 Time is of the Essence. For all payments to be made and all
----------------------
obligations to be performed under the Loan Documents, time is of the essence.
15.12 Limitation on Interest. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION
----------------------
HEREOF, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AMOUNT OR RATE OF INTEREST (INCLUDING TO THE
EXTENT APPLICABLE ANY DEFAULT RATE INTEREST OR LATE PAYMENT CHARGES) PAYABLE,
CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED OR RECEIVED UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE NOTES OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, FROM TIME TO TIME OR FOR WHATEVER REASON, EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM RATE OR AMOUNT, IF ANY, SPECIFIED BY APPLICABLE LAW. If from any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of such other
Loan Documents or other documents or obligations at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
proscribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
---- -----
reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance Secured
Party shall ever receive an amount deemed interest by applicable law which shall
exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing Thereunder or on
account of any other principal indebtedness of the Borrower to Secured Party,
and not to payment of interest or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of such principal amount and such other indebtedness, or if Secured
Party is prohibited by applicable law from applying such excessive interest to
the reduction of such principal amount or on account of any other indebtedness,
the excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid by
the Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of the
Borrower to Secured Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such
indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on
account of such indebtedness is uniform though the term hereof. The terms and
provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision
of all agreements between the Borrower and Secured Party and all obligations of
Borrower to Secured Party.
15.13 Governing Law; Binding Effect. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE
-----------------------------
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK;
provided, however, the parties agree that the states listed on SCHEDULE 2.14

Collateral and the laws of such states govern the perfection and the effect of
perfection or non-perfection of security interests in all collateral in which a
security interest is perfected by
41

Agreement shall be binding upon Borrower, and the heirs, devisees,
administrators, executives, personal representatives, successors, receivers,
trustees, and (without limiting Section 12 hereof) assigns, including all
successors in interest of Borrower in and to all or any part of the Collateral,
and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, and the successors and assigns
of Secured Party. Borrower and Secured Party irrevocably consent and submit to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of (a) any state or federal court sitting in the
state of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding, arising out of or
relating to this Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Notes or the Loan; and (b)
any state court sitting in the county of the state where the Premises are
located with respect to any suit, proceeding or action instituted therein
arising under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in any
way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties
hereto in respect of this Loan Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the
other Loan Documents or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case
whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity
or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall
be heard only in the courts described above (except that Secured Party shall
have the right to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or its
property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Secured Party deems
necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise
enforce its rights against Borrower or its property). Borrower irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Borrower may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or
proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action,
or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it
and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail
(return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth on the signature
pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days
after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, properly
addressed and postage prepaid, or, at Secured Party's option, by service upon
Borrower in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within
thirty (30) days after such service, Borrower shall appear in answer to such
process, failing which Borrower shall be deemed in default and judgment may be
entered by Secured Party against Borrower for the amount of the claim and other
relief requested.
15.14 Severability. Whenever possible this Loan Agreement, the Notes,
------------
the Mortgages and each other Loan Document and each provision hereof and thereof
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective, valid and enforceable
under applicable law. If and to the extent that any such provision shall be held
invalid and unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions hereof or
thereof, and any determination that the application of any provision hereof or
thereof to any person or under any circumstance is illegal and unenforceable
shall not affect the legality, validity and enforceability of such provision as
it may be applied to any other person or in any other circumstance.
15.15 Counterparts; Captions; Construction. This Loan Agreement and
------------------------------------
each other Loan Document may be executed in counterpart, each of which shall be
an original and all of which taken together shall be and be deemed to be one and
the same instrument. The
42
headings, titles and captions used herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction of this Loan Agreement or any term or provision hereof.
The inclusion of an example by way of illustration such as a parenthetical
("including . . .") shall not be construed as or deemed a limitation on the
generality of the general text to which it refers. The terms Borrower and
Secured Party shall include heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, personal
representatives, successors, receivers, trustees and assigns. The liability of
all Persons comprising or constituting Borrower under this Loan Agreement and
each other Loan Document shall be joint and several.

CSFC Loan # _________________
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
This secured promissory note (this "Note") is made in connection with
the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Loan
Agreement") by and between LLO-GAS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
Borrower"), and CONVENIENCE STORE FINANCE COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (together with its successors and assigns, "CSFC"). All terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning accorded to
such terms in the table set forth below and in the Loan Agreement. This Note is
entitled to the benefits of and is secured by the pledge, liens, security,
title, rights and security interests granted under the Loan Agreement, the
Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, as the same may be amended, supplemented
or renewed, from time to time and evidences a loan (the "Loan") made to Borrower
by CSFC in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
Date of Note: October ___, 1999
Borrower: LLO-GAS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation
Principal Amount: $______________________
First Payment Date: December 11, 1999
Interest Rate: ______% per annum
Funding Date Payment: $______________________
Stated Payment Amount: $______________________
Lockout Period: A period commencing on the Date of
Note and ending on the third anniversary
of the first Payment Date
Amortization Period: A period of 180 months commencing on the
eleventh day of the month following the Date
of Note (or on the Date of Note if such date
is the eleventh day of a month).
Maturity Date: November 11, 2014
Defeasance Period A period (i) commencing on the earlier of (x)
the third anniversary of the first Payment
Date and (y) two years after the
securitization of the Loan by CSFC, and (ii)
ending on the Maturity Date
67
1. Payments of Principal. Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of
---------------------
CSFC the Principal Amount outstanding under this Note (x) in monthly
installments from the date of the First Payment Date through the Maturity Date,
(y) at the option of Borrower, in full but not in part as permitted under the
Defeasance Option specified in Section 4 hereof, and (z) in full either at such
time as this Note is accelerated under Section 5 hereof or matures under Section
3 hereof.
2. Interest. Interest will accrue and be charged on the Principal
--------
Amount outstanding, from time to time (i) except as provided in clause (ii), at
the Interest Rate, and (ii) upon and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Interest Rate plus (y)
500 basis points ("Default Rate"). Borrower promises to pay interest to the
order of CSFC in arrears on each Payment Date (as defined below) except as
provided in Section 3.a.ii hereof. All calculations of interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and charged on the basis of actual days
elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated
("Actual/360"). Borrower acknowledges that interest calculated on an Actual/360
basis exceeds interest which is calculated on a basis of a 360-day year
consisting of 12 months of 30 days each ("30/360") and, therefore, a greater
portion of each monthly installment of principal and interest will be applied to
interest using the Actual/360 basis than would be the case if interest accrued
on a 30/360 basis. In no event shall Borrower's interest payment obligations or
the amounts of interest payable, contracted for, charged or received under or in
connection with this Note exceed the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof.
3. Form, Place and Timing of Payments. Borrower agrees to make all
----------------------------------
payments, or cause all payments to be made, under this Note to the order of CSFC
in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available
funds, at such place or places and by such method or methods (including wire
transfer or bank account debit) as CSFC shall direct.
a. Payment and Amortization Schedule: Maturity.
-------------------------------------------
i. A "Payment and Amortization Schedule" is attached hereto as
Schedule 3.a.i. and made a part hereof, which schedule is calculated based on
--------------
amortization of the Principal Amount over the Amortization Period.
ii. On the date of funding, Borrower's Funding Date Payment is
due. The Funding Date Payment equals the amount of the interest payable for the
period from the date of the funding of the Note, through and including the tenth
(10th) day of the month immediately following the month in which funding occurs
(unless funding has occurred on the first day of the month in which case, said
interest is payable under Section 3.a.iii hereof).
iii. Commencing on the First Payment Date, and on the eleventh
(11th) day of each month thereafter (each a "Payment Date"), Borrower agrees to
pay the Stated Payment Amount until the earliest of the acceleration, exercise
of the Defeasance Option or Maturity Date of this Note, as the case may be.
iv. The Principal Amount outstanding on the Maturity Date,
together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees and
expenses, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
b. Timing of Payments. Whenever a payment to be made under this Note
------------------
becomes due and payable on a Saturday or Sunday or on a legal holiday or a date
on which banking institutions located in the State of New York are authorized or
required to close, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business
day.
68
c. Late Payment Charge. If CSFC has not received on any Payment
-------------------
Date, on the Maturity Date, or on any other date on which any payment is due
(whether due to acceleration or otherwise) the full amount due on such Payment
Date, Maturity Date or other date, as the case may be, Borrower promises to pay
to the order of CSFC, promptly on demand, a late payment charge in the amount
equal to the product of (x) the difference between (1) the amount due on such
due date and (z) the amount actually received on such due date, and (y) 0.05.
4. Defeasance Option. This Note, and the Obligations outstanding
-----------------
hereunder, may not be prepaid in whole or in part. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing:
I. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at any time during the Defeasance Period, Borrower may cause the
release of the Collateral and the Properties from the lien of the Loan Documents
upon the satisfaction of the following conditions (such release of the lien and
satisfaction of such conditions referred to herein as the "Defeasance Option"):
(i) not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days
prior written notice shall be given to CSFC specifying a Payment Date on
which the Defeasance Collateral (as hereinafter defined) is to be delivered
(such Payment Date, the "Release Date");
(ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums then due
under this Note and under the other Loan Documents up to the Release Date,
including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by CSFC or
its agents in connection with such release (including, without limitation,
the fees and expenses incurred by attorneys and accountants in connection
with the review of the proposed Defeasance Collateral and the preparation
of the Defeasance Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and related
documentation and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any
other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note or
otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this Section 4(I), and
all fees, costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by Lender in the
purchase of such U.S. Obligations and the assumption payments referred to
herein), shall be paid in full on or prior to the Release Date; and
(iii) Borrower shall deliver to CSFC on or prior to the Release Date:
(A) an amount (in immediately available funds) equal to the
remaining principal amount of this Note and the Yield
Maintenance Premium (hereinafter defined), if any, sufficient to
purchase direct, non-callable obligations of the United States
of America (the "Defeasance Collateral") that provide for
payments prior, but as close as possible, to all successive
monthly Payment Dates occurring after the Release Date through
the Maturity Date (and assuming the Loan is paid in full on the
Maturity Date), with each such payment being equal to or greater
than the amount of the corresponding installment of principal
and interest required to be paid under this Note (the
"Defeasance Deposit"). The Defeasance Deposit shall be used to
purchase the Defeasance Collateral. Each instrument evidencing
such Defeasance Collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder
thereof as directed by CSFC or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form and substance wholly satisfactory
to CSFC (including, without limitation, such instruments as may
be required by the depository institution holding such
securities to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges
through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order
to create a first priority security interest therein in favor of
CSFC in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws
governing granting of such security interests;
69
(B) a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to CSFC in its sole discretion, creating a first
priority security interest in favor of CSFC in the Defeasance
Deposit and the Defeasance Collateral (the "Defeasance Loan
Agreement"), which Defeasance Loan Agreement shall provide,
among other things, that any excess payments received by CSFC
from the Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by
Borrower hereunder shall be refunded to Borrower.
(C) a certificate of Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to
CSFC in its sole discretion certifying that all of the
requirements set forth in this Section 4 have been satisfied;
(D) an opinion of counsel for Borrower in form and substance and
delivered by counsel satisfactory to CSFC in its sole discretion
stating, among other things, that CFSC has a perfected first
priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the
Defeasance Collateral purchased on behalf of Borrower and that
the Defeasance Loan Agreement is enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with its terms;
(E) a certificate from a firm of independent public accountants
acceptable to CSFC certifying that the Defeasance Collateral is
sufficient to satisfy the provisions of Section A above; and
(F) evidence in writing from each Rating Agency (as defined
hereinafter) selected by CSFC to the effect that such release
will not result in a re-qualification, reduction or withdrawal
of any rating in effect immediately prior to such defeasance for
any Securities (as hereinafter defined); and
(G) such other certificates, documents or instruments as CSFC
may reasonably request.
II. Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 4 and with
the requirements of Section 4 of each of the other Notes, the Collateral and the
Properties shall be released from the lien of the Loan Documents and the
Defeasance Collateral shall constitute the only collateral which shall secure
the Obligations and CSFC will, at Borrower's expense, execute and deliver any
agreements reasonably requested by Borrower to release the lien of CSFC on the
Collateral and the Properties. Borrower, pursuant to the Defeasance Loan
Agreement, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from Defeasance
Collateral be made directly to CSFC and applied to satisfy the Obligations.
III. Upon the release of the Collateral and the Properties and substitution
of the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Section 4, Borrower shall,
upon the direction of CSFC, assign all of its Obligations, together with the
Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity selected by CSFC. The Borrower and
such successor entity shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to CSFC in its sole discretion pursuant to which
the successor entity shall assume the Obligations in their entirety (including,
without limitation, under the Defeasance Loan Agreement). As conditions to the
effectiveness of such assignment and assumption, Borrower shall (i) deliver or
cause to be delivered to CSFC an opinion of counsel to Borrower (satisfactory to
CSFC in its sole discretion) in form and substance satisfactory to CSFC in its
sole discretion with respect to, among other things, the enforceability of the
assignment and assumption agreement, the Obligations and the applicable
agreements, instruments and documents (including, without limitation, the Loan
Documents) against the successor entity and (ii) pay all costs and expenses
incurred by CSFC, its agents and representatives in connection with the
foregoing. Upon the effectiveness of the assignment and assumption, Borrower
shall be relieved of all Obligations other than those specifically intended to
survive the termination, satisfaction or assignment of the Obligations or the
exercise by CSFC of it rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations.
70
IV. Upon the release of the Collateral and Properties in accordance with
this Section 4, Borrower shall have no further right to prepay this Note
pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4 or otherwise. In connection
with the conditions set forth in Subsection I(A) above, Borrower hereby appoints
CSFC as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of purchasing the
Defeasance Collateral with funds provided by the Borrower. Borrower shall pay
any and all expenses incurred in the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral and
any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge
due in connection with the transfer of this Note or otherwise required to
accomplish the agreements of this Section 4.
V. For purposes of this Note and the other Loan Documents, the term
"Yield Maintenance Premium" shall mean the amount, if any, which, when added to
the remaining principal amount of the Note, will be sufficient to purchase the
Defeasance Collateral.
5. Acceleration; Expenses. (a) If an Event of Default occurs, the entire
----------------------
Principal Amount may be accelerated by CSFC and CSFC may pursue it remedies
against Borrower and the personal and real property that secures Borrower's
Obligations, including Borrower's obligation to pay the Principal Amount
evidenced by this Note, from time to time and in such order as CSFC shall
determine. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.1.3 of the Loan
Agreement occurs, all Obligations including, without limitation, the entire
Principal Amount, shall be automatically accelerated without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind. Upon acceleration of the Obligations,
Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the order of CSFC on the date of acceleration
an amount equal to (i) the full Principal Amount of this Note which remains
unpaid as of such date, plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
all other amounts due and owing hereunder (including, without limitation, any
late payment charges) and under the other Loan Documents, plus (iii) all costs
of collection (including, without limitation, reasonable and actual attorneys'
fees and disbursements, whether or not a suit is commenced), which amounts (and
all other amounts which are due and payable by Borrower) shall be added to the
Principal Amount of this Note and will bear interest at the Default Rate, plus
(iv) the Default Repayment Amount (as herein defined).
(b) Simultaneously with each Default Repayment (as hereinafter
defined) occurring prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to CSFC an
amount (the "Default Repayment Amount") equal to the greater of: (A) three (3%)
percent of the principal amount of this Note being prepaid; and (B) the present
value of a series of payments each equal to the Payment Differential (as
hereinafter defined) and payable on each Payment Date over the remaining
original term of this Note and on the Maturity Date, discounted at the
Reinvestment Yield (as hereinafter defined) for the number of months remaining
from the date of the Default Repayment (the "Repayment Date") to each such
monthly Payment Date and the Maturity Date. The term "Reinvestment Yield" as
used herein shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the (i) yield on the U.S.
Treasury issue (primary issue) with the same maturity date as the Maturity Date:
or (ii) if no such U.S. Treasury issue is available, then the interpolated yield
on the two U.S. Treasury issues (primary issues) with maturity dates (one prior
to and one following) that are closest to the Maturity Date; or (b) the (i)
yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the
remaining average life of the Obligations, or (ii) if no such U.S. Treasury
issue is available, then the interpolated yield on the two U.S. Treasury issues
(primary issues) with terms (one prior to and one following) that are closest to
the remaining average life of the Obligations, with each such yield being based
on the bid price for such issue as published in The Wall Street Journal on the
date that is 14 days prior to the Repayment Date (or, if such bid price is not
published on that date, the next preceding date on which such bid price is so
published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. The term
"Payment Differential" as used herein shall be equal to (x) the Interest Rate
minus the Reinvestment Yield, divided by (y) 12 and multiplied by (z) the
principal sum being repaid on such Repayment Date after application of the
Monthly Payment (if any) due on the date of the Default Repayment, provided that
the Payment Differential shall in no event be less than zero. In no event,
however, shall CSFC be required to reinvest any repayment proceeds in U.S.
Treasury obligations or otherwise.
71
For purposes of this Note, the term "Default Repayment" shall mean a
repayment of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note made during
the continuance of any Event of Default or after an acceleration of the Maturity
Date under any circumstances, including, without limitation, a repayment
occurring in connection with reinstatement of the Mortgage provided by statute
under foreclosure proceedings or exercise of a power of sale, any statutory
right of redemption exercised by Borrower or any other party having a statutory
right to redeem or prevent foreclosure, any sale in foreclosure or under
exercise of a power of sale or otherwise.
6. WAIVERS AND SPECIAL AGREEMENTS: BORROWER HEREBY MAKES AND ACKNOWLEDGES
------------------------------
THAT IT MAKES ALL OF THE WAIVERS AND SPECIAL AGREEMENTS ("WAIVERS") SET FORTH IN
THIS NOTE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT DURESS, AND ONLY AFTER
EXTENSIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS WITH ITS ATTORNEY;
BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BORROWER UNDERSTANDS THE RIGHTS BEING WAIVED
AND THAT THE WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO CSFC TO MAKE THE LOAN TO
BORROWER; THAT THE TERMS OF THE LOAN ARE FAVORABLE TO BORROWER AND THAT CSFC
WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE LOAN ON SUCH TERMS WITHOUT SUCH WAIVERS. Borrower and
any and all obligors, sureties, guarantors and endorsers of this Note and all
other parties now or hereafter liable hereon jointly and severally ("Obligors"):
(i) acknowledge that the transaction of which this Note is a part is part of a
commercial transaction; (ii) waive any and all (from time to time) (a) rights to
notice and hearing under any state or federal law with respect to any
prejudgment remedy which the CSFC may desire to use, from time to time, and (b)
grace. diligence, demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of any kind
(including notice to sureties, disclosure of facts which materially increase
risks, notice of protest, acceptance, liability suit, demand, or action,
dishonor, payment or nonpayment, protest. intention to accelerate or
acceleration, extension or renewal), surety defenses of any kind (including
defenses relating to impairment of recourse, release or modification of
underlying obligation, extension of time, impairment of collateral,
nondisclosure), rights of appraisal of security or collateral for any obligation
or guaranteed obligation and diligence in collecting and bringing suit against
any party; (iii) agree (a) to all extensions of any obligation or guaranteed
obligations (including rescheduling and recalculation of amortization), in whole
or in part, from time to time, or any partial payments, with or without notice,
before or after maturity, (b) to any one or more substitutions, exchanges or
releases of any or all security, now or hereafter given for any obligation, (c)
to any and all releases, from time to time, of any and all parties primarily,
secondarily or otherwise liable for any obligation or guaranteed obligation, (d)
that it is not (and at no time will be) necessary for CSFC, or any other holder,
transferee, obligee or beneficiary of any note or obligation or guaranteed
obligation (or any interest therein) (collectively, "Obligee"), in order to
enforce such note or obligation, to first institute or exhaust such Person's
remedies against any borrower or other Person or against any collateral or other
security for such note or obligation, and (e) any delay in exercising, failure
to exercise, or non-exercise (or partial exercise), from time to time, by CSFC
or any other Obligee of any obligation or guaranteed obligation of any rights or
remedies (or to insist upon strict performance) in any one or more instances
shall not constitute a waiver thereof (or preclude full exercise or insistence
upon strict performance thereof) in that or any other instance, and any single
exercise of any such Person's right or remedies in any one or more instances
shall not preclude full exercise in any other instance; and (iv) waives and
agrees not to assert any right of set off and any claim (as defined in U.S.C.
Section 101), including, without limitation, any claim of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification that Borrower or any
other Obligor may now or hereafter have against Borrower or any other Obligor or
any security held by or available to CSFC or any other Obligee.
7. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY AND APPRAISAL RIGHT. BORROWER HEREBY
-------------------------------------------
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, AND CSFC BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOTE
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION, SUIT OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF OR OTHERWISE
RELATING TO THIS NOTE. BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS
72
BORROWER MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO AN APPRAISAL OF ANY SECURITY OR COLLATERAL
FOR BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
8. LIMITATION ON INTEREST. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION HEREOF, IN
----------------------
NO EVENT SHALL THE AMOUNT OR RATE OF INTEREST (INCLUDING TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE ANY DEFAULT RATE INTEREST OR LATE PAYMENT CHARGES) PAYABLE,
CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED OR RECEIVED UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, FROM
TIME TO TIME OR FOR WHATEVER REASON, EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATE OR AMOUNT, IF ANY,
SPECIFIED BY APPLICABLE LAW. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of
any provision hereof or of such other Loan Documents or other documents or
obligations at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve
transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the
---- -----
obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and
if from any such circumstance CSFC shall ever receive an amount deemed interest
by applicable law which shall exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which
would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal
Amount owing hereunder or on account of any other principal indebtedness of the
Borrower to CSFC, and not to payment of interest or if such excessive interest
exceeds the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount and such other indebtedness,
or if CSFC is prohibited by applicable law from applying such excessive interest
to the reduction of the Principal Amount or on account of any other
indebtedness, the excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed
to be paid by the Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the
indebtedness of the Borrower to CSFC shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full
term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of
interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform though the term hereof. The
terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other
provision of all agreements between the Borrower and CSFC and all obligations of
Borrower to CSFC.
9. Applications: Calculations of Amounts Due. Timely payments of the
-----------------------------------------
Stated Payment Amount shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest,
then to the outstanding Principal Amount. All calculations and applications of
amounts due on any date, whether by acceleration or otherwise, will be made by
CSFC (or its agent or representative) and Borrower agrees that all such
calculations and applications will be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error.
10. Sale or Participation of Loan. CSFC and any successor may, at any
-----------------------------
time, sell, transfer, or assign this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages,
and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect
thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through
certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or
unrated public offering or private placement (the "Securities"). CSFC may
forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant. investor
in such Securities or any rating agency (a "Rating Agency") rating such
Securities (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as an
"Investor") and each prospective Investor, all documents, financial and other
information which CSFC now has or may hereafter acquire relating to (a) the
Loan; (b) the Business and the Properties and their operation (including,
without limitation, copies of all leases, subleases or any other agreements
concerning the operation, use and occupancy of the Business and the Properties);
and/or (c) any party connected with the Loan (including, without limitation,
Borrower, any partner or member of Borrower, any constituent partner or member
of Borrower, and any guarantor). In connection with such Securities, Borrower
further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the
obligations of Borrower to each Investor, and Borrower shall, within fifteen
(15) days after request by CSFC, deliver an estoppel certificate verifying for
the benefit of CSFC and any other party designated by CSFC the status and the
terms and provisions of the Loan in form and substance acceptable to CSFC, and
enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be
reasonably required in order to facilitate the Securities without impairing
Borrower's rights or increasing Borrower's obligations. The representations,
warranties, obligations, covenants, and indemnity obligations of Borrower under
the Loan Documents shall also benefit and apply with respect to any purchaser,
transferee, assignee, participant, service or investor.
73
11. Miscellaneous. This Note and the rights and obligations under this
-------------
Note are not assignable or delegable, directly or indirectly, in whole or in
part, by Borrower, except as provided in the Mortgage. This Note shall be
binding upon Borrower, its successors and, without limiting the preceding
sentence, assigns. For all payments to be made and obligations to be performed
under this Note, Borrower agrees to perform strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Note and time is of the essence. Whenever possible, this Note and
each provision hereof, shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective,
valid and enforceable under applicable law. If and to the extent that any such
provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any
other provisions hereof, and any determination that the application of any
provision hereof to any person or under any circumstance is illegal and
unenforceable shall not affect the legality, validity and enforceability of such
provision as it may be applied to any other person or in any other circumstance.
All rights and remedies provided in this Note, the Loan Agreement, the
Mortgages, and any other Loan Document or any law shall be available to CSFC and
shall be cumulative. THIS NOTE CONTAINS WAIVERS OF VARIOUS RIGHTS AND DEFENSES,
INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) WAIVERS OF RIGHTS OF JURY TRIAL AND APPRAISAL AS
SET FORTH IN SECTION 7 HEREOF. THIS DOCUMENT IS EXECUTED UNDER SEAL AND INTENDED
TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT.
12. Governing Law. This Note was accepted by CSFC in the state of New
-------------

to the underlying transaction embodied hereby. Accordingly, in all respects,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, matters of
constructions, validity, enforceability and performance, this Note, the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents and the obligations
arising hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the state of New York applicable to contracts made
and performed in such state and any applicable law of the United States of
America, except that at all times the provisions for the enforcement of CSFC's
rights to foreclose granted under the Mortgages securing this Note and the

thereto and pursuant to the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and
construed according to the law of the state where each applicable Property is
located. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentences, Borrower
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any claim to assert that the law of any jurisdiction other than New York

Documents.
13. Consent to Jurisdiction. Borrower irrevocably submits to the
-----------------------
jurisdiction of: (a) any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York
over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or
the Loan evidenced hereby; and (b) any state court sitting in the county of the
state where the applicable Property is located over any suit, action, or
proceeding, brought by CSFC to exercise its rights to foreclose under the

the Collateral. Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any objection that Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any
claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.
