The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s applicable Note Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such applicable Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.

     §2.3. Interest on Revolving Credit Loans; Fees.

          (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto (unless earlier paid in accordance with §3.2) at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin.

          (b) Each Libor Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto (unless earlier paid in accordance with §3.2) at a rate equal to the Libor Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Libor Margin.

          (c) With reference to Base Rate Loans and Libor Rate Loans, the “Applicable Base Rate Margin” the “Applicable Libor Margin” shall be equal to (A) from the Closing Date through the end of the fiscal month in which the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to §8.4(b) for the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending December 31, 2003 are delivered to the Agent, a percentage equal to 0.25% for the Applicable Base Rate Margin and 2.15% for the Applicable Libor Margin, and (B) thereafter, the percentage determined for each Rate Period by reference to the Table below:

27

Table

Applicable Margin

For purposes of determining the Applicable Base Rate Margin and the Applicable Libor Margin, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (§10.1 hereof) will be tested quarterly, commencing with the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending March 31, 2004, based on the annual or quarterly financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to §8.4(a) or 8.4(b), respectively. For purposes of determining the interest rate for any Rate Period hereunder, any interest rate change shall be effective on the first day of the fiscal month immediately following the date on which the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to §8.4(a) or §8.4(b) are delivered to the Agent, together with a notice to the Agent (which shall be verified by the Agent) specifying any change in the Applicable Base Rate Margin and/or the Applicable Libor Margin. If the Borrower has failed to timely deliver the financial statements required to be delivered by it pursuant to §8.4(a) or §8.4(b), then in addition to the other rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, the Applicable Base Rate Margin and the Applicable Libor Margin that are then in effect shall automatically be increased to the next highest level until such financial statements are delivered.

          (c) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest on each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto, and when the principal of such Revolving Credit Loan is due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise).

28

          (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at the rate of (i) for any day when the outstanding principal balance of the Loans is equal to or less than 50% of the Total Commitment, 0.25% per annum, and (ii) for any day when the outstanding principal balance of the Loans is greater than 50% of the Total Commitment, 0.15% per annum, in each case calculated on the average daily amount, during each fiscal quarter or portion thereof, of the unborrowed portion of the Total Commitment. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth Business Day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter commencing on the first such date following the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, with a final payment on the Maturity Date.

          (e) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a fee (in each case, a “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable L/C Percentage of the undrawn amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit, which fee (a) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth Business Day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, with a final payment on the Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate (which Letter of Credit Fee shall be pro-rated for any calendar quarter in which such Letter of Credit is issued, drawn upon or otherwise reduced or terminated) and (b) shall be for the accounts of the Lenders and the Fronting Bank as follows: (i) an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the account of the Fronting Bank and (ii) the remainder of the Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the accounts of the Lenders (including the Fronting Bank) pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages

     §2.4. Requests for Revolving Credit Loans.

     The following provisions shall apply to each request by the Borrower for a Revolving Credit Loan:

         (i) The Borrower shall submit a Completed Loan Request to the Agent, together with a duplicate copy of such Completed Loan Request for each Lender which is then a party to this Agreement at the time such loan request is made. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Completed Loan Request shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Completed Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loans requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date.

         (ii) Each Completed Loan Request shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Agent by 10:00 a.m. (x) on the Business Day of the

29

proposed Drawdown Date of any Base Rate Loan, and (y) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Libor Rate Loan.

         (iii) Each Completed Loan Request shall include a completed writing in the form of Exhibit B hereto specifying: (1) the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan requested, (2) the proposed Drawdown Date of such Revolving Credit Loan, (3) the Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan, and (4) the Type of such Revolving Credit Loan being requested, and certifying that, both before and after giving effect to such requested Revolving Credit Loan, no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that, after giving effect to the Requested Revolving Credit Loan (and all other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit), the Borrower is in compliance with Borrowing Base Availability.

         (iv) No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Revolving Credit Loan unless:

            (a) a Completed Loan Request has been timely received by the Agent as provided in subsection (i) above; and

            (b) both before and after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Loan to be made pursuant to the Completed Loan Request, all of the conditions contained in §12 shall have been satisfied as of the Closing Date, with respect to the initial advance only, and all of the conditions set forth in §13 shall have been met, including, without limitation, the condition under §13.1 that there be no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement.

         (v) The Agent will use reasonable efforts to cause the Completed Loan Request to be delivered to each Lender on the same day it is received by the Agent and will, absent circumstances outside of its control, cause the Completed Loan Request to be delivered to each Lender on the Business Day following the day a Completed Loan Request is received by the Agent.

     §2.5. Conversion Options.

          (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type, provided that (i) subject to the further proviso at the end of this §2.5(a) and subject to §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), with respect to any conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan (or a

30

continuation of a Libor Rate Loan, as provided in §2.5(b)), the Borrower shall give the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, which such notice must be received by the Agent by 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day; and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Libor Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan shall be for an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

          (b) Any Revolving Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as such upon the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, automatically and (ii) in the case of Libor Rate Loans by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.5(a)(i); provided that no Libor Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. The Borrower shall notify the Agent promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this §2.5(b) is scheduled to occur.

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

          (d) The Borrower may not request or elect a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.4, elect to convert a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(a) or elect to continue a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(b) if, after giving effect thereto, there would be greater than four (4) Libor Rate Loans then outstanding. Any Loan Request or Conversion Request for a Libor Rate Loan that would create greater than four (4) Libor Rate Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be a Loan Request or Conversion Request for a Base Rate Loan. By way of explanation of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower wishes to convert or continue two or more Loans into one Libor Rate Loan on the same day and for identical Interest Periods (or borrow an additional Revolving Credit Loan simultaneously with converting or continuing a Revolving Credit Loan for identical Interest Periods), such Libor Rate Loan shall constitute one single Libor Rate Loan for purposes of this clause (d).

     §2.6. Funds for Revolving Credit Loans.

          (a) Subject to the other provisions of this §2, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan, each of the Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of

31

the requested Revolving Credit Loan. Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loan made available to the Agent by the Lenders. All such funds received by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on any Business Day will be made available to the Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m. on the same Business Day; funds received after such time will be made available by not later than 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of its Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loan but in no event shall the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) have any obligation to make any funding or shall any Lender be obligated to fund more than its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan or to increase its Commitment Percentage on account of such failure or otherwise.

          (b) The Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Lender prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Lender has made available to the Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Lender makes available to the Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Lender shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the average, computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Agent for federal funds acquired by the Agent during each day included in such period, multiplied by (ii) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed from and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of which is 365. A statement of the Agent submitted to such Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Agent by such Lender.

     §2.7. Reduction of Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) to reduce by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (but not below $20,000,000 or, if greater, the Maximum Drawing Amount) or terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the then Total Commitment, whereupon the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages by the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of such reduction and the

32

full amount of the Facility Fee then accrued and unpaid on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated.

     §2.8. Increase in Total Commitment. At any time prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right, upon written notice to the Agent and satisfaction of the Increase Conditions, to cause the Total Commitment to increase by an amount not at any time exceeding $20,000,000 (the “Increase”), in which event Schedule 2 will be deemed to be amended to reflect the increased Commitment of each Lender, if any, that has agreed in writing to an increase and to add any third party financial institution that may have become a party to, and a “Lender” under, this Agreement in connection with the Increase (and the Agent is hereby authorized to effect such amendment on behalf of the Lenders and the Borrower); provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Increase that the Increase Conditions shall have been satisfied. In the event that the Increase results in any change to the Commitment Percentage of any Lender, then on the effective date of such Increase in the Total Commitment (i) any new Lender, and any existing Lender whose Commitment has increased, shall pay to the Agent such amounts as are necessary to fund its new or increased Commitment Percentage of all existing Revolving Credit Loans, (ii) the Agent will use the proceeds thereof to pay to all Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing such amounts as are necessary so that each such Lender’s participation in existing Revolving Credit Loans will be equal to its adjusted Commitment Percentage, and (iii) if the effective date of such Increase in the Total Commitment occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Libor Rate Loan, the Borrower will be responsible for Libor Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 on account of the payments made pursuant to clause (ii) above. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment in connection with the Increase.

     §2.9. Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. At least 60 days but in no event more than 120 days prior to December 31, 2006, the Borrower, by written notice to the Agent (with copies for each Lender), may request an extension of the Maturity Date by a period of one year from the Maturity Date then in effect (the “Extension”). The Extension shall become effective on December 31, 2006 so long as (i) the Borrower has paid to the Agent on such date, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders, an extension fee in an amount equal to 25 basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on such date, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such date and all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date). The notice referred to in the first sentence of this §2.9 shall constitute and shall be deemed to be a certification by the Borrower as to the truth and accuracy of the statements contained in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

33

     §3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

     §3.1. Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all unpaid principal of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the unpaid balance of the Facility Fee accrued through such date, and any and all other unpaid amounts due under this Agreement, the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents.

     §3.2. Optional Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided that the outstanding amount of any Libor Rate Loans may not be prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period unless the Borrower pays the Libor Breakage Costs for each Libor Rate Loan so prepaid at the time of such prepayment. The Borrower shall give the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender), no later than 10:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.2 of any Base Rate Loans, and at least four (4) Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.2 of Libor Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans then being repaid, shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges, if any, outstanding on all Revolving Credit Loans so prepaid and of all accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of Libor Rate Loans.

     §3.3 Mandatory Repayment of Loans. If at any time the sum of the outstanding amount of the Loans, plus the Maximum Drawing Amount, plus without double counting any Revolving Credit Loans, the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, if any, exceeds the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment at such time, or (ii) the Borrowing Base Availability at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent an amount in cash necessary to eliminate such excess, such amount to be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of Libor Rate Loans.

     §4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     §4.1. Funds for Payments.

          (a) All payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, at the Agent’s Head

34

Office, in each case in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations which are not converted to a Loan hereunder and of fees hereunder not later than 12:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the due date thereof.

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

     §4.2. Computations. All computations of interest on Libor Rate Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and all computations of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be based on a 365/366 day year, in each case paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Libor Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the Note Records or record attached to any other Note from time to time shall constitute prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof.

     §4.3. Inability to Determine Libor Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Libor Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Libor Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to Libor Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (b) each Libor Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest

35

Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the Lenders to make Libor Rate Loans shall be suspended, in each case unless and until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

     §4.4. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the Commitment of such Lender to make Libor Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Libor Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Libor Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, all until such time as it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for Libor Breakage Costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion required by this §4.4 prior to the last day of an Interest Period.

     §4.5. Additional Costs, Etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, then generally applied by the Lenders or the Agent with respect to similar loans), shall:

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

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

          (c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not

36

having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is

          (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment or any Letter of Credit, or

          (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment, any Letter of Credit or any of the Loans, or

          (iii) to require such Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such demand to be made promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination), at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum, provided that such Lender or the Agent is generally imposing similar charges on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.

     §4.6. Capital Adequacy. If any future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, then generally applied by the Lenders with respect to similar loans) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and any Lender or the Agent determines that the amount of capital required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence of Loans made

37

or deemed to be made pursuant hereto, then such Lender or the Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact, and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Agent from time to time, upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such demand to be made promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination), as an additional fee payable hereunder, such amount as such Lender or the Agent shall determine reasonably and in good faith and certify in a notice to the Borrower to be an amount that will adequately compensate such Lender in light of these circumstances for its increased costs of maintaining such capital. Each Lender and the Agent shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis, and will not charge the Borrower unless it is generally imposing a similar charge on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.

     §4.7. Certificate; Limitations. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §§4.5 or 4.6 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence that such amounts are due and owing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5, to the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate lending office in the continental United States to make the Loans in order to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under §§4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 or to avoid the unavailability of a Libor Rate Loan, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

     §4.8. Indemnity. In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement regarding such matters, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and to hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits) that the Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) a default by the Borrower in the payment of any principal amount of or any interest on any Libor Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by the Agent or such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Libor Rate Loans, (b) the failure by the Borrower to make a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given a Completed Loan Request for a Libor Rate Loan or a Conversion Request for a Libor Rate Loan, and (c) the making of any payment of a Libor Rate Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by the Agent or a Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Libor Rate Loans.

     §4.9. Interest on Overdue Amounts; Late Charge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Majority Lenders, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the unpaid balance of all Obligations shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2%, compounded daily until such Event of Default is cured or waived to the satisfaction of the Agent and the required Lenders. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a

38

late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest charges on the Loans which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due.

     §5. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

     §5.1. Letter of Credit Commitments.

          §5.1.1. Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the execution and delivery by the Borrower of a letter of credit application on the Fronting Bank’s customary form as part of a Completed Loan Request (a “Letter of Credit Application”), the Fronting Bank on behalf of the Lenders and in reliance upon the agreement of the Lenders set forth in §5.1.4 and upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue, extend and renew for the account of the Borrower one or more letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit”), in such form as may be requested from time to time by the Borrower and agreed to by the Fronting Bank; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such Completed Loan Request, (a) the Maximum Drawing Amount plus all Reimbursement Obligations (to the extent, if any, not yet deemed a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §5.3), shall not exceed $10,000,000 at any one time and (b) the sum of (i) the Maximum Drawing Amount and, without double counting, all Reimbursement Obligations (to the extent, if any, not yet deemed a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §5.3) and (ii) the amount of all Loans outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment in effect at such time and (y) the Borrowing Base Availability at such time.

          §5.1.2. Letter of Credit Applications. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Agent and the Fronting Bank.

          §5.1.3. Terms of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed hereunder shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts for honor thereunder when presented in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein, (ii) shall have an expiry date no later than one year after its issuance, and (iii) have an expiry date no later than the date which is fourteen (14) days prior to the Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit so issued, extended or renewed shall be subject to the Uniform Customs.

          §5.1.4. Obligations of Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit. Each Lender severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the Fronting Bank on demand for the amount of each draft paid by the Fronting Bank under each Letter of Credit (such agreement for a Lender being called herein the “Letter of Credit Participation” of such Lender). Each such payment made by a Lender shall be treated as a purchase by such Lender of a participation in the Fronting Bank’s interest in such Letter

39

of Credit and each Lender shall share, in accordance with its respective Commitment Percentage, in any interest (but not any fee payable solely for the account of the Fronting Bank) which accrues and is payable by the Borrower pursuant to §5.2 or otherwise in connection with such Letter of Credit.

          §5.2. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In order to induce the Fronting Bank to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Lenders to participate therein, the Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse or pay to the Fronting Bank, for the account of the Fronting Bank or (as the case may be) the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by the Fronting Bank hereunder,

          (a) promptly upon notification by the Fronting Bank or the Agent that any draft presented under such Letter of Credit is honored by the Fronting Bank, or the Fronting Bank otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, (i) the amount paid by the Fronting Bank under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) any amounts payable pursuant to §5.5 under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit, and

          (b) upon the termination of the Total Commitment, or the acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in accordance with §14, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, which amount shall be held by the Agent in an interest-bearing account (with interest to be added to such account) as cash collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent for all Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the expiration, termination or surrender without draw of any Letter of Credit, the Agent shall release to the Borrower the cash collateral amount applicable to such Letter of Credit.

     Each such payment shall be made to the Agent for the benefit of the Fronting Bank or the Lenders, as applicable, at the Agent’s Head Office in immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts not converted to a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §5.3 and remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this §5.2 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §5.2, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on demand at the rate specified in §4.9 for overdue principal on the Loans.

     §5.3. Letter of Credit Payments; Funding of a Loan. If any draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank will use its reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower and the Lenders, on or before the date the Fronting Bank intends to honor such drawing, of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor such demand for payment and, except to the extent the amount of such draft becomes a Revolving Credit Loan as set forth in this §5.3, Borrower shall reimburse Agent, as set forth in §5.2. Notwithstanding anything contained in §5.2 or this §5.3 to the contrary, however, unless Borrower shall have notified the Agent and

40

Fronting Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such drawing that Borrower intends to reimburse Fronting Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Completed Loan Request pursuant to §2.4 to Agent, requesting a Base Rate Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. The Borrower may thereafter convert any such Base Rate Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type in accordance with §2.5. Each Lender shall, in accordance with §2.6, make available such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan to Agent, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Agent to reimburse Fronting Bank for the amount of such draw. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan on the date of any drawing, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender plus any additional amounts payable under §2.6(b) in the event of a late funding by a Lender. The Fronting Bank is irrevocably authorized by the Borrower and each of the Lenders to honor draws on each Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. The responsibility of the Fronting Bank to the Borrower and the Lenders shall be only to determine that the documents (including each draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Fronting Bank’s customary practices.

     §5.4. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s and the Lenders’ obligations under this §5 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower and the Lenders further agree with the Fronting Bank, the Agent and the other Lenders that the Fronting Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under §5.2 and the Lenders obligations under §5.3 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to whom any Letter of Credit may be transferred, or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Fronting Bank, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Bank or the Agent under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Fronting Bank, the Agent or any Lender to the Borrower.

41

     §5.5. Reliance by Issuer. The Fronting Bank and the Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Fronting Bank or the Agent. The Agent and the Fronting Bank shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this §5 (other than the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to a Letter of Credit Application and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as may be required by this Agreement) as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent and any Fronting Bank shall in all cases be fully protected by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this §5 in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as may be required by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes or of a Letter of Credit Participation.

     §8.7. Existence of the Trust; Maintenance of REIT Status of the Trust; Maintenance of Properties;. The Trust will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the Trust’s existence as a Maryland corporation.

     §8.9. Taxes. The Borrower will, and will cause the Trust and each of their respective Subsidiaries to, pay or cause to be paid real estate taxes, other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges against the Real Estate Assets before the same become delinquent and will duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become overdue, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon its sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims for labor, materials, or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of the Real Estate Assets; provided that any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Borrower or the Trust shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and, in the case of claims for labor, materials or supplies affecting the Collateral Properties, put into effect bonding arrangements as necessary to prevent liens based on such claims from attaching to any Collateral Property which would have priority over the lien of the Security Deed for such Collateral Property; and provided further that the Borrower or the Trust will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims forthwith prior to the consummation of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor. Promptly upon request by the Agent if required for bank regulatory compliance purposes or similar bank purposes, the Borrower will provide evidence of the payment of real estate taxes, other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges against the Real Estate Assets in the form of receipted tax bills or other form reasonably acceptable to the Agent, or evidence of the existence of applicable contests as contemplated herein.

     §8.10. Inspection of Properties and Books. (a) Subject to the rights of tenants to limit or prohibit such access, as denoted in the applicable Leases, the Borrower and the Trust will permit the Agent or any of its designated representatives upon reasonable notice (which notice may be given orally or in writing and provided that no notice shall be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries to examine the books of account of the Borrower, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent may reasonably request.

          (b) The Borrower hereby agrees that each of the Lenders and the Agent (and each of their respective, and their respective affiliates’, employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) is, and has been from the commencement of discussions with respect to the facility established by the Agreement (the “Facility”), permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the structure and tax aspects (as such terms are used in Code sections 6011 and 6111) of the Facility, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such Lender or the Agent related to such

63

structure and tax aspects. In this regard, the Lenders and the Agent intend that this transaction will not be a “confidential transaction” under Code sections 6011, 6111 or 6112, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

     §8.11. Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower and the Trust will comply with, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to comply with (a) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted that are material in any respect to the operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices, including, without limitation, all such Environmental Laws and all such applicable federal and state securities laws, (b) the provisions of its partnership agreement or corporate charter and other Organizational Documents, as applicable, (c) all material agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound (including the Real Estate Assets and the Leases) and (d) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments. If at any time while any Loan or Note or other Obligations is outstanding or the Lenders have any obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder, any Permit shall become necessary or required in order that the Borrower may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower and the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries will immediately take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the power of the Borrower or the Trust, as applicable, to obtain such Permit and furnish the Agent with evidence thereof.

     §8.12. Use of Proceeds. Subject at all times to the other provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation §7.17, the Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely to finance acquisitions of Permitted Properties and for its working capital and general corporate purposes.

     §8.13. Additional Borrower; Solvency of Borrower; Removal of Borrower.

          (a) If, after the Closing Date, FPLP wishes to designate as a Collateral Property a Real Estate Asset that otherwise qualifies as a Collateral Property but is owned by a Person other than the Borrower, FPLP shall cause such Person (which Person must be a Wholly-owned Subsidiary of FPLP) to become a party to this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents prior to such Real Estate Asset becoming a Collateral Property hereunder. The liability of each Person which is from time to time a Borrower hereunder shall be joint and several with each other Borrower for all Obligations for so long as such Borrower is a Borrower hereunder (provided that FPLP shall at all times be a Borrower hereunder). In accordance with §11.3, at any time and from time to time but only for so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, FPLP may notify Agent, in writing (each, a “Release Notice”), that the Borrower would like one (1) or more Collateral Properties to be removed from the Borrowing Base. Such Release Notice shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Compliance in the form of Exhibit C-3, evidencing compliance with §2.1 and §10 after giving effect to the requested release. Prior to the effectiveness of any such release, the Agent shall have the right to require

64

new MAI Appraisals for each of the Real Estate Assets which would remain in the Borrowing Base for which the existing MAI Appraisal is more than 12 months old to confirm the Borrower’s compliance with the provisions hereof (except that if there are more than ten (10) Real Estate Assets remaining in the Borrowing Base after giving effect to the release, such new MAI Appraisals shall not be required). Upon the Agent’s receipt of such Release Notice and its satisfaction with the Certificate of Compliance and the results of any MAI Appraisals (which the Agent shall endeavor to have completed within 60 days after receipt of the applicable Release Notice), such Collateral Properties (each, a “Released Property”) shall be removed from the Borrowing Base and any Wholly-owned Subsidiary which is the owner of a Released Property (and is not the owner of any other Collateral Property) and which is then a Borrower (other than FPLP) hereunder shall be released from its obligations hereunder (including the Obligations). FPLP will not permit any Borrower (other than FPLP) that owns any Collateral Property to have any Subsidiaries unless such Subsidiary’s business, obligations and undertakings are exclusively related to the business of such Borrower.

          (b) The Borrower and the Trust shall remain solvent at all times.

     §8.14. Further Assurances. The Borrower and the Trust will cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     §8.15. Interest Rate Protection. In the event that the Borrower’s floating rate Indebtedness that is not otherwise subject to interest rate protection arrangements at any time exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of Consolidated Total Indebtedness for borrowed money, the Borrower shall obtain and maintain in effect interest rate protection arrangements (by means of hedging techniques or vehicles such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate corridors or interest rate collars, in each case to be capped at a rate reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) for a term and in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Once obtained, the Borrower shall maintain such arrangements in full force and effect as provided therein, and shall not, without the approval of the Agent, modify, terminate, or transfer such arrangements during the period in which the Borrower’s floating rate Indebtedness exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of Consolidated Total Indebtedness for borrowed money.

     §8.16. Environmental Indemnification. The Borrower and the Trust each covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates, harmless from and against any and all claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred by the Agent or any Lender in connection with environmental matters with respect to the Collateral Properties, as more fully set forth in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement for each respective Collateral Property. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower and the Trust that each Environmental

65

Indemnity Agreement shall survive any foreclosure or any modification, release or discharge of any or all of the Security Documents or the repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, their respective successors, and their respective assigns under the Loan Documents.

     §8.17. Response Actions. The Borrower covenants and agrees that if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on any Real Estate Asset owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower or the Trust, in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, the Borrower will cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of such wholly-owned Real Estate Asset as necessary to comply with all Environmental Laws or to preserve the value of any applicable Collateral Property.

     §8.18. Environmental Assessments. If the Agent reasonably believes, after discussion with the Borrower and review of any environmental reports provided by the Borrower, that a Disqualifying Environmental Event has occurred with respect to any one or more of the Collateral Properties, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, from time to time, for the purpose of assessing and determining whether a Disqualifying Environmental Event has in fact occurred, cause the Borrower to obtain one or more environmental assessments or audits of such Collateral Property prepared by a hydrogeologist, an independent engineer or other qualified consultant or expert approved by the Agent to evaluate or confirm (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at such Collateral Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Collateral Property complies with all Environmental Laws. Environmental assessments may include without limitation detailed visual inspections of such Collateral Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry ▇▇▇▇▇ and leaching areas, and, if and to the extent reasonable, appropriate and required pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws, the taking of soil samples, surface water samples and ground water samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as the Agent deems appropriate. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

     §8.19. Employee Benefit Plans.

          (a) Notice. The Borrower and the Trust will notify the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) at least thirty (30) days prior to the establishment of any Employee Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan by any of them or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates other than those disclosed on Schedule 8.19 attached hereto or disclosed in the SEC Filings, and neither the Borrower nor the Trust will establish any Employee Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on FPLP, the Trust or any member of the Potomac Group.

66

          (b) In General. Each Employee Benefit Plan maintained by the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates will be operated in compliance with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions.

          (c) Terminability of Welfare Plans. With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan maintained by the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(l) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, the Borrower, the Trust, or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, as the case may be, shall have the right to terminate each such plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) without liability other than liability to pay claims incurred prior to the date of termination.

          (d) Unfunded or Underfunded Liabilities. The Borrower and the Trust will not at any time have accruing or accrued unfunded or underfunded liabilities with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, Guaranteed Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or permit any condition to exist under any Multiemployer Plan that would create a withdrawal liability.

     §8.20. No Amendments to Certain Documents. The Borrower and the Trust will not at any time cause or permit its certificate of limited partnership, agreement of limited partnership (including without limitation the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Borrower), articles of incorporation, by-laws, operating agreement or other Organizational Documents, as the case may be, to be modified, amended or supplemented in any respect whatever, without (in each case) the express prior written consent or approval of the Agent, if such changes could reasonably be expected to affect the Trust’s REIT status or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

     §8.21. Leases; Lease Approvals. The Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to (and at the Agent’s request during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, will promptly) exercise or enforce its rights under those provisions of the Major Leases requiring the delivery of financial statements, rent rolls, lease summaries, subleases and other information from tenants under Leases or guarantors of Lease obligations to the Borrower, and, during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, will deliver to the Agent (with copies for each Lender) copies of all material information so delivered by any of the tenants or guarantors immediately following the Borrower’s receipt thereof. After an Event of Default has occurred and while it is continuing, the Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, to communicate directly with any of the tenants or guarantors for any purpose contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Security Documents. In the event that any of the Leases is terminated, the Borrower will take or cause to be taken all steps within the power of the Borrower to market and lease the untenanted rentable area of the Buildings to such

67

tenants and in the case of any Major Lease, upon such terms and conditions as may be reasonably approved by the Agent. Any proposed lease (i) for the occupancy of 10,000 square feet or more of the net leasable area of a Building located on a Collateral Property, or (ii) for any space in a Collateral Property which, when aggregated with all other leases in the Building (or in an office park or similar development which includes such Building) to the tenant under such proposed lease and/or its Affiliates, would cause such proposed tenant to occupy 10,000 square feet or more of the net leasable area of a Building, office park or similar development, shall be submitted to the Agent (with copies for each Lender) and approved by the Agent prior to execution, provided that if the Agent has not approved or disapproved such lease within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the final form of such Lease together with a request for approval as to which the Agent shall have, within fifteen (15) days prior thereto, received copies of the lease term sheet and tenant financials (to the extent such tenant financials were available), and (ii) provided, further that the final request for approval and the envelope in which it was delivered have been each appropriately marked with the following legend: “TIME SENSITIVE — RESPONSE REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS”, such lease will be deemed automatically approved. The approval of the Agent shall not be required for any Lease of any other portion of a Collateral Property of less than 10,000 square feet so long as (i) such Lease is substantially in the form of the standard form of lease submitted to and approved by the Agent and attached hereto as Schedule 7.14 or in such other standard form as the Agent may hereafter approve (in either case, with such customary modifications thereto as may be negotiated by the Borrower and the tenant thereunder), and (ii) the terms of such Lease are consistent with the Borrower’s most recent leasing plan delivered to the Agent. A copy of any new Lease shall be delivered to the Agent promptly following execution of such Lease.

▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to administer such Plan; or the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

          (m) subject to the Borrower’s ability to remove Real Estate Assets from the Borrowing Base in accordance with the provisions set forth below in this §14, the failure of any of the Real Estate Assets being included from time to time as Collateral Properties to comply with any of the conditions set forth in the definition of Collateral Properties;

          (o) without limitation of the other provisions of this §14.1, the Trust shall at any time fail to be the sole general partner of FPLP or shall at any time be in contravention of any of the requirements contained in the last paragraph of §9.2 hereof, or §9.3 (including, without limitation, the last paragraph of §9.3);

          then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Majority Lenders shall, declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, the Trust and each of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §14.1(g) or 14.1(h), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of notice from any of the Lenders or the Agent or action by the Lenders or the Agent.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this §14.1, in the event of a Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the inclusion of any Real Estate Asset in the Borrowing Base at any particular time of reference, if such Default or Event of Default is

86

capable of being cured by the exclusion of such Real Estate Asset from the Borrowing Base in accordance with, and subject to, §8.13 and from all other covenant calculations under §10 or otherwise, the Borrower shall be permitted a period not to exceed five (5) days to submit to the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Bank) a compliance certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto evidencing compliance with §2.1 and with all of the covenants set forth in §10 (with calculations evidencing such compliance after excluding from Borrowing Base NOI all of the Adjusted Net Operating Income generated by the Real Estate Asset to be excluded from the Borrowing Base) and with the Borrowing Base Conditions, and otherwise certifying that, after giving effect to the exclusion of such Real Estate Asset from the Borrowing Base, no Default or Event of Default will be continuing.

     §14.2. Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in §14.1(g) or §14.1(h) shall occur, any unused portion of the Commitments or other commitments to extend credit hereunder shall forthwith terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans to the Borrower and the Agent and the Fronting Bank shall be relieved of all further obligations to issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §14.1, any Lender may terminate the unused portion of that Lender’s Commitment or other commitment to extend credit hereunder, and upon such notice being given such unused portion of such Commitment or other commitment shall terminate immediately, such Lender shall be relieved of all further obligations to make Loans and the Fronting Bank shall be relieved of all further obligations to issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit and the Total Commitments shall be reduced accordingly. No such termination of a Commitment or other commitment to extend credit hereunder shall relieve the Borrower of any of the Obligations or any of its existing obligations to such Lender arising under other agreements or instruments.

     §14.3. Remedies. In the event that one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §14.1, the Majority Lenders may direct the Agent to proceed to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Notes, any or all of the other Loan Documents or under applicable law by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding (including for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced and, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver), and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right or remedy of the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law. No remedy herein conferred upon the Lenders or the Agent or the holder of any Note or purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every

87

other remedy given hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

     §15. SECURITY INTEREST AND SET-OFF.

     §15.1 Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders, and to each Lender, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its successors and assigns, or in transit to any of them.

     §15.2 Set-Off and Debit. (i) If any Event of Default or other event which would entitle the Agent to accelerate the Loans occurs, or (ii) at any time, whether or not any Default or Event of Default exists, in the event any attachment, trustee process, garnishment, or other levy or lien is, or is sought to be, imposed on any property of the Borrower; then, in any such event, any such deposits, balances or other sums credited by or due from the Agent or any Lender, or from any such affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, to the Borrower may to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law at any time or from time to time, without regard to the existence, sufficiency or adequacy of any other collateral, and without notice or compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise, all of which are hereby waived, be set off, debited and appropriated, and applied by the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, against any or all of the Obligations irrespective of whether demand shall have been made and although such Obligations may be unmatured, in such manner as the Agent or the applicable Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off, debit or appropriation and application, the Agent agrees to notify the Borrower thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off, debit or appropriation and application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, other than the obligations evidenced by the Note held by such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other indebtedness and to the obligations evidenced by the Note held by such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Note held by such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall

88

retain and apply to the payment of the Note held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Note held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Note held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

     §15.3 Right to Freeze. The Agent and each of the Lenders shall also have the right, at its option, upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle the Agent or any Lender to set off or debit as set forth in §15.2, to freeze, block or segregate any such deposits, balances and other sums so that the Borrower may not access, control or draw upon the same.

     §15.4 Additional Rights. The rights of the Agent, the Lenders and each affiliate of Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders under this Section 15 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, other rights and remedies, including other rights of set off, which the Agent or any Lender may have.

     §16. THE AGENT.

     §16.1. Authorization. (a) The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The relationship between the Agent and the Lenders is and shall be that of agent and principal only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender.

          (b) The Borrower, without further inquiry or investigation, shall, and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to, assume that all actions taken by the Agent hereunder and in connection with or under the Loan Documents are duly authorized by the Lenders. The Lenders shall notify Borrower of any successor to Agent by a writing signed by Majority Lenders, which successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Borrower acknowledges that any Lender which acquires Fleet is acceptable as a successor to the Agent.

     §16.2. Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on,

89

advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.

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

     §16.4. No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or for the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Trust or the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or the Trust or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Trust or any of the Subsidiaries or any tenant under a Lease or any other entity. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

     §16.5. Payments.

          (a) A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the accounts of all the Lenders, as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. All such payments shall be made on the date received, if before 1:00 p.m., and if after 1:00 p.m., on the next Business Day. If payment is not made on the day received, the funds shall be invested by the Agent in overnight obligations, and interest thereon paid pro rata to the Lenders.

90

          (b) If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in material liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Agent shall invest any such undistributed amounts in overnight obligations on behalf of the Lenders and interest thereon shall be paid pro rata to the Lenders. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or to purchase any Letter of Credit Participation or (ii) to adjust promptly such Lender’s outstanding principal and its pro rata Commitment Percentage as provided in §2.1, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. If not previously satisfied directly by the Delinquent Lender, a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

     §16.6. Holders of Notes. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Notes or the Purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

     §16.7. Indemnity. The Lenders ratably and severally agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §17), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or

91

thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     §16.8. Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity as a Lender, Fleet shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation, as it would have were it not also the Agent.

     §16.9. Notification of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall (to the extent notice has not previously been provided) promptly notify the Agent thereof. The Agent hereby agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this §16.9 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders of the existence of such Default or Event of Default.

     §16.10. Duties in Case of Enforcement. (a) In the case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, at the request, or may, upon the consent, of the Majority Lenders, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents respecting the foreclosure of Security Deeds, the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Majority Lenders. The Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to severally indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. The Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Majority Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes reasonably necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Collateral securing the Obligations, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Notes, other than through the Agent. The Agent shall advise the Lenders of all such action taken by the Agent.

92

     (b) If title to any or all of the Collateral is acquired on behalf of the Lenders in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, title shall be taken in the name of a nominee as the Agent and the Majority Lenders may mutually agree, provided that approval of such entity shall not be unreasonably withheld. The entity holding title shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held on behalf of the Lenders in proportion to their Commitment Percentage from time to time and will hold such title consistent with this Agreement and any workout plan approved in accordance with this Agreement. Upon taking title to the Collateral, the Agent shall, either itself or through an agent selected by Agent (which agent may be a subsidiary or Affiliate of Agent), manage, conserve, protect and operate the Collateral in accordance with any approved workout plan until otherwise directed by the Majority Lenders. Agent shall submit a proposed workout plan to the Lenders for approval within sixty (60) Business Days after taking title to the Collateral. Each workout plan shall require the approval of the Majority Lenders. Upon such approval, the Agent shall implement the workout plan. If the Majority Lenders do not approve a proposed workout plan within thirty (30) Business Days after submittal, Agent may implement the proposed workout plan or take such other actions to protect the Collateral as it may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve the value thereof. All proceeds collected from the Collateral shall be used first to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the Collateral and then shall be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent not authorized in such approved workout plan, any material decision regarding the operation, maintenance, sale or other disposition of any Collateral after taking title to the Collateral (including any action to bring such Collateral into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws) shall be subject to approval of the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that pending such approval, Agent may take any action it determines reasonably necessary to preserve or maintain any such Collateral.

     §16.11. Successor Agent. Fleet, or any successor Agent, may resign as Agent at any time by giving at least 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and to the Borrower. Any such resignation shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent, as hereinafter provided. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which is a Lender under this Agreement, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Borrower shall have the right to approve any successor Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, in the case of a resignation by the Agent, no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint any one of the other Lenders as a successor Agent. The Borrower acknowledges that any Lender which acquires Fleet is acceptable as a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be

93

discharged from all further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this §16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. The Agent agrees that it shall not assign any of its rights or duties as Agent to any other Person.

     §16.12. Notices. Any notices or other information required hereunder to be provided to the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) shall be forwarded by the Agent to each of the Lenders on the same day (if practicable) and, in any case, on the next Business Day following the Agent’s receipt thereof

     §17. EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent’s outside counsel or any local counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, each closing hereunder, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (c) the fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, including, without limitation, the costs incurred by the Agent in connection with its inspection of the Collateral Properties, and, without double-counting amounts under clause (b) above, the fees and disbursements of the Agent’s counsel in preparing the documentation, (d) all title insurance premiums, appraisal fees, engineer’s, inspector’s and surveyor’s fees, (e) the fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Agent and its Affiliates incurred in connection with the syndication and/or participations of the Loans (whether occurring before or after the closing hereunder), including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, travel costs, costs of preparing syndication materials and photocopying costs, (f) all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of any Lender or the Agent, and the fees and costs of engineers, appraisers, surveyors, investment bankers, or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent in connection with any such enforcement proceedings) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Trust or the administration thereof after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in any restructuring and/or “workout” of the Loans), and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to any Lender’s or the Agent’s relationship with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Trust, (g) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches and filings, recording of the Security Deeds, UCC terminations or mortgage discharges, and the like, and (h) all costs incurred by the Agent in the future in connection with its inspection of the Collateral Properties (or any proposed Collateral Property) or with the addition of any Collateral Property. The covenants of this §17 shall survive the

94

repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.

     §18. INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each of the Lenders and the shareholders, directors, agents, officers, subsidiaries and affiliates of the Agent and each of the Lenders from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses (including amounts, if any, owing to any Lender pursuant to §§4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.8), settlement payments, obligations, damages and expenses of every nature and character in connection therewith, arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or which otherwise arise in connection with the financing, including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (c) pursuant to §8.16, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §18 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Borrower shall be entitled to select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders, and the Agent (as approved by the Majority Lenders) shall be entitled to select their own supervisory counsel, and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of each such counsel. Prior to any settlement of any such litigation by the Lenders, the Lenders shall provide the Borrower and the Trust with notice and an opportunity to address any of their concerns with the Lenders, and the Lenders shall not settle any litigation without first obtaining Borrower’s consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §18 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §18 shall survive the repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the possibility of any such claim, action, cause of action or suit exists.

     §19. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Trust pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans and the issuance, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit, as herein

95

contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Letter of Credit or any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or purchase Letter of Credit Participations or the Fronting Bank has any obligation to issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Trust pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower or such Subsidiary or the Trust hereunder.

     §30. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION.

(“TSCA”) as amended from time to time and regulations promulgated thereunder; (i) any toxic or hazardous chemicals described in the Occupational Safety and Health Standards (29 C.F.R. 1910.1000 1047) in levels which would result in exposures greater than those allowed by the permissible exposure limits pursuant to such regulations; (j) the contents of any storage tanks, whether above or below ground; (k) medical wastes; (l) materials related to those described in

-16-

subparagraphs (a) through (k) hereof; and (m) anything defined as hazardous or toxic under any now existing or hereinafter enacted statute.

     6.03 Environmental Compliance. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used in violation of any Environmental Regulations (as defined below). Tenant assumes sole and full responsibility for, and will remedy at its cost, all such violations, provided that Tenant must first obtain Landlord’s written approval of any remedial actions, which approval Landlord may not unreasonably withhold. Tenant will not use, generate, release, store, treat, dispose of, or otherwise deposit, in, on, under or about the Premises, any Hazardous Materials, nor will Tenant permit or allow any third party to do so, without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord’s election to conduct inspections of the Premises is not approval of Tenant’s use of the Premises or any activities conducted thereon, and is not an assumption by Landlord of any responsibility regarding Tenant’s use of the Premises or Hazardous Materials. Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Section 6.03 and with all Environmental Regulations is at Tenant’s sole cost. Tenant will pay or reimburse Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorney’s, engineers’, consultants’ and other experts’ fees and disbursements incurred or payable to determine, review, approve, consent to or monitor the requirements for compliance with Environmental Regulations, including, without limitation, above and below ground testing. Landlord and Landlord’s Agents are hereby authorized to enter upon the Premises for such purposes. Tenant will supply Landlord with historical and operational information regarding the Premises, including without limitation, all reports required to be filed with governmental agencies, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord to facilitate site assessment, and will make available for meetings with Landlord or Landlord’s Agents, appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. If Tenant fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.03, or if Landlord receives notice or information asserting the existence of any Hazardous Materials, Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, without in any way limiting Landlord’s other rights and remedies, to enter upon the Premises or to take such other actions Landlord deems necessary or advisable to clean up, remove, resolve, or minimize the impact of any Hazardous Materials on or affecting the Premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in the exercise of any such rights. Tenant will notify Landlord in writing, immediately upon the discovery, notice (from a governmental authority or other entity) or reasonable grounds to suspect, by Tenant, Tenant’s Agents, its successors or assigns the presence in the Premises or the Building of any Hazardous Materials or conditions that result in a violation of or could reasonably be expected to violate this Section 6.03, together with a full description thereof. “Environmental Regulations” means any law, statute, regulation, order or rule now or hereafter promulgated by any Governmental Authority, whether local, state or federal, relating to air pollution, water pollution, noise control or transporting, storing, handling, discharge, disposal or recovery of on site or off site hazardous substances or materials, as same may be amended from time to time. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

     6.04 ADA Compliance. Nothing contained in this Lease is intended to prevent or prohibit compliance by either party with ADA nor is any provision of this Lease intended to violate ADA, and any provision that does so is hereby modified to allow compliance or deleted as necessary. Tenant indemnifies Landlord, Landlord’s Agents, its affiliates, agents, officers, employees and contractors, for all costs, liabilities and causes of action occurring or arising as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with ADA or as a result of any violation of ADA by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, and, at Landlord’s option, Tenant will defend Landlord, Landlord’s Agents, its affiliates, agents, officers, employees and contractors, against all such costs, liabilities and causes of action. Breach of this Section 6.04 is a Default under this

-17-

Lease. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

7.00 SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING

     7.01 Transfer of Premises. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease, or grant a license or concession, or otherwise transfer the whole or any part of any Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord in each case, which consent may be withheld in the Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any request to transfer this Lease or any portion of the Premises shall be accompanied by a check in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) to help defray the cost of reviewing same. Landlord shall withhold consent if (i) Tenant is in default of the Lease, (ii) the proposed transfer would violate a provision of another lease or agreement, (iii) the proposed use would be incompatible with the other uses in the Project or would increase parking or utility requirements, (iv) the proposed transferee is not sufficiently creditworthy or experienced; (v) Landlord’s lender or Tenant’s guarantor (if any) refuses to consent, or (vi) any other factor exists which would make Landlord’s refusal reasonable under the circumstances. Tenant’s request for consent shall be accompanied by sufficient documentation to allow Landlord to make a decision based on the foregoing factors. Landlord shall have the right to recapture the Premises proposed for transfer by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days of the request for consent, but Landlord’s failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a consent to the transfer. In the case of each transfer, Tenant shall cure any outstanding defaults prior to the transfer date, and remain jointly and severally liable with the transferee for the full and timely performance of each and every term, covenant and condition of Tenant under the Lease. All cash or other proceeds whatsoever payable by or on behalf of a transferee of this Lease or the Premises, whensoever same may be payable, shall be deemed to be rent , and any such rent in excess of the rentals payable by Tenant hereunder shall promptly be paid to Landlord.

     7.02 Transfer Defined. The term “transfer” in Section 7.01 above shall include (i) if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, a withdrawal or change (voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, whether accomplished by a single transaction or a series of transactions) of any partner or member owning twenty percent (20%) or more of the partnership or company, or a dissolution or liquidation of the partnership or company, (ii) if Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the transfer of a controlling interest of the capital stock of Tenant (whether accomplished by a single transaction or a series of transactions), or (iii) any management arrangement by which operational control is transferred to a person other than Tenant.

     7.03 Subordination/Estoppel Certificates. This Lease is and shall be subordinate to all ground leases, mortgages, trust deeds or other financing or, refinancing instruments that may now or in the future be placed on the Project, and to all renewals, replacements, and extensions of same and Tenant shall attorn to any purchaser, to the purchaser at any foreclosure, or to the grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and recognize such purchaser or grantee as Landlord under the Lease. Such subordination is self-operative, and no further instruments shall be required to effect same. However, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly from time to time within ten (10) days of request execute a confirmation of such subordination in the form required by Landlord. If any ground lessor, mortgagee or trustee notifies Tenant that it elects to have the Lease be a prior lien, then this Lease shall be deemed to be prior in lien to such ground lease, mortgage or trust deed. Tenant shall within ten (10) days of request deliver to Landlord, or to any party providing financing to Landlord, or to a prospective purchaser, information reasonably required by such party, including without limitation current financial statements and estoppel

-18-

certificates in a form satisfactory to such party, failing which Tenant shall be in default of this Lease without further notice or cure period. If Tenant does not deliver any subordination or estoppel certificate within the time limited herein, then in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such subordination or estoppel certificate on Tenant’s behalf.

8.00 DEFAULT

     8.01 Default. Tenant shall be in “default” of this Lease whenever (i) Tenant fails to pay any amount when due and such failure continues for five (5) days; or (ii)Tenant fails to comply with any other term, covenant or conditions of the Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice, or (iii) Tenant fails to timely deliver any required subordination, estoppel certificate, or financial statements within the time limited by this Lease, or (iv) Tenant abandons the Premises, or (v) a petition is filed by or against Tenant in bankruptcy, insolvency, for the appointment of a receiver or custodian, or an attachment or other judicial seizure is instituted against Tenant, or other act of bankruptcy or insolvency occurs involving the Tenant, or any steps are taken for the dissolution, winding up or liquidation of Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any present or future law requiring any notice to quit or of Landlord’s intention to re-enter.

     8.02 Consequences of Default. If a default occurs, Landlord may at its option reenter the Premises without terminating the Lease, relet the Premises on Tenant’s behalf, and Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any deficiency in the rent received by Landlord in accordance with the Lease, as well as all costs relating to recovery and reletting the Premises, including all leasing commissions, legal fees and costs plus all actual and consequential damages, but if Landlord does not relet the Premises Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the full payment of rentals in accordance with the Lease. Landlord shall not be required to serve further notice or resort to legal process prior to exercising its right of re-entry, and Tenant waives any available rights of redemption. Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease and recover damages, even if Landlord has previously exercised its right of re-entry. If Landlord elects to terminate, Landlord shall be entitled to liquidated damages in an amount equal to (i) all sums owing hereunder up to the date of termination, and (ii) accelerated rent discounted to present value using an interest rate of five percent (5%), provided that Landlord will forward to Tenant any net rentals received on reletting the Premises as they are received, provided that Landlord shall incur no liability, and Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not be diminished, by virtue of Landlord’s failure to relet. The foregoing remedies are in addition to any other remedies available hereunder or at law.

     8.03 Self-Help. Landlord shall also have the right, but not the obligation and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, to cure any default of Tenant on Tenant’s behalf, and one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the cost incurred shall be payable by Tenant on demand as additional rent. The failure to pay such amount when due shall constitute a monetary default.

     8.04 No Implied Waivers. No waiver of any breach of a term, covenant or condition by either party shall be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same term, covenant or condition, or as a waiver of the term, covenant or condition itself. The consent or approval by either party to, or of, any act requiring such party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render

-19-

unnecessary the consent or approval of such party to, or of, any subsequent similar act. All rights and remedies set forth in this Lease are cumulative and in addition to any other available rights and remedies.

9.00 MISCELLANEOUS

     9.01 Notices. All notices under this Lease shall be in writing and sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a commercial delivery service regularly retaining delivery receipts. Notices to Landlord shall be addressed to Landlord’s Address for Notice, and notices to Tenant shall be addressed to Tenant’s Address for Notice, in each case as set forth above.
