NOTICE TO AGENT, WITHOUT AGENT’S CONSENT, REVISE THE PROJECT BUDGET FROM TIME TO
TIME TO MOVE AMOUNTS AVAILABLE UNDER ANY LINE ITEM DESIGNATED AS “COST SAVINGS
CONTINGENCY” TO OTHER LINE ITEMS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ADEQUATE FUNDS REMAIN
FOR EACH PARTICULAR LINE ITEM AS CERTIFIED BY THE ARCHITECT TO THE BEST OF
ARCHITECT’S KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF.

(IV)          NEW LINE ITEMS.  WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF AGENT IN
EACH INSTANCE, (I) BORROWER SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO CREATE ANY NEW LINE ITEM
IN THE PROJECT BUDGET, AND (II) THE LINE ITEM DESIGNATED “GENERAL CONTINGENCY”
OR “COST SAVINGS CONTINGENCY” MAY NOT BE REALLOCATED TO ANY SUCH NEW LINE ITEM.

(V)           PROJECT BUDGET AS OF ADVANCE PERIOD DATE.  A COPY OF AN UPDATED
PROJECT BUDGET SHALL BE PREPARED AS OF EACH ADVANCE PERIOD DATE AND PROMPTLY
DELIVERED TO THE AGENT.

(F)            LOAN BALANCING AND SHORTFALLS.

(I)            AGENT AND LENDERS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO MAKE ADVANCES PURSUANT
TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS FOR MORE
THAN THE AMOUNT OF ANY LINE ITEM IN THE PROJECT BUDGET, UNLESS COST SAVINGS FROM
OTHER LINE ITEMS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN REALLOCATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS
HEREOF OR ALL OR A PORTION OF THE LINE ITEM DESIGNATED AS “GENERAL CONTINGENCY”
OR “COST SAVINGS CONTINGENCY” HAS BEEN REALLOCATED TO SUCH LINE ITEM IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF OR ANY OF THE ACTIONS OTHER SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION 2.1(F).

(II)           IN THE EVENT THAT AGENT SHALL DETERMINE THAT THERE EXISTS ANY

(II)           BORROWER SHALL NOT REQUEST, INITIATE, AGREE TO, ACCEPT, CAUSE OR
SUFFER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ANY MATERIAL CHANGE ORDER WITHOUT AGENT’S PRIOR
WRITTEN CONSENT, NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD.  ANY CHANGE ORDER OTHER THAN A
MATERIAL CHANGE ORDER SHALL NOT REQUIRE AGENT’S CONSENT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, BORROWER MAY REQUEST THAT THE AGENT CONSENT TO, OR RATIFY, A CHANGE
ORDER WHICH IS NOT A MATERIAL CHANGE ORDER.  NO CHANGE ORDER, WHETHER OR NOT
APPROVED BY AGENT, OBLIGATES AGENT AND LENDERS TO MAKE ANY ADVANCE TO THE EXTENT
THE SAME WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE OBLIGATED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO MAKE
SUCH ADVANCE.  BORROWER SHALL SUBMIT TO AGENT AND CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT COPIES
OF EACH PROPOSED MATERIAL CHANGE ORDER PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO IT, TOGETHER WITH
DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO AGENT AND CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT,
SETTING FORTH ALL ADDITIONS AND SUBTRACTIONS THERETOFORE MADE TO OR FROM THE
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT.  BORROWER MAY ALSO SUBMIT TO AGENT AND CONSTRUCTION
CONSULTANT FROM TIME TO TIME, FOR APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION, AS THE CASE MAY BE,
COPIES OF CHANGE ORDERS WHICH DO NOT CONSTITUTE MATERIAL CHANGE ORDERS, TOGETHER
WITH THE DOCUMENTATION DESCRIBED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBMISSION OF
MATERIAL CHANGE ORDERS.  AGENT SHALL PROMPTLY REVIEW ALL MATERIAL CHANGE ORDERS
SO SUBMITTED, AND GRANT OR DENY ITS CONSENT WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF
BORROWER’S REQUEST THEREFOR; PROVIDED THAT THE REQUEST IS ACCOMPANIED BY A
NOTICE, WHICH PROVIDES IN UPPER CASE BOLD-FACED TYPE:  “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR AN
APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION, AS THE CASE MAY BE, WITH RESPECT TO A CHANGE ORDER. 
IF AGENT FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS
NOTICE, THE REQUESTED ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE CHANGE ORDER WILL BE DEEMED
APPROVED OR RATIFIED, AS APPLICABLE”, AND IF AGENT DOES NOT RESPOND DURING SUCH
TEN (10) BUSINESS DAY PERIOD, IT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED OR RATIFIED
SUCH CHANGE ORDERS.  IF ANY MATERIAL CHANGE ORDER SHALL REQUIRE THE CONSENT OR
APPROVAL OF ANY THIRD PARTY, BORROWER SHALL PROVIDE AGENT WITH WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF SUCH CONSENT OR APPROVAL.  BORROWER SHALL SUBMIT TO AGENT AND CONSTRUCTION
CONSULTANT COPIES OF ALL CHANGE ORDERS ENTERED INTO WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECT
WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS AFTER THE SAME ARE ENTERED INTO, IRRESPECTIVE OF
WHETHER THE SAME REQUIRE THE PRIOR APPROVAL OF AGENT AND CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.  AS USED HEREIN, A “MATERIAL CHANGE ORDER” IS (I)
ANY CHANGE ORDER AFFECTING THE PROJECT BUDGET IN AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN
$100,000, OR (II) ANY CHANGE ORDER, THAT TOGETHER WITH ALL OTHER CHANGE ORDERS
PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECT BUT NOT APPROVED OR RATIFIED BY
AGENT, WOULD AFFECT THE PROJECT BUDGET IN AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN $250,000.

CONTRACTOR, AS CERTIFIED IN WRITING BY SUCH ARCHITECT TO AGENT.

(I)            DIRECT ADVANCES.

(I)            SUBJECT TO BORROWER’S CONTEST RIGHTS AS SET FORTH BELOW AND UPON
THIRTY (30) DAYS’ PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO BORROWER, LENDERS MAY MAKE, IN THEIR
REASONABLE DISCRETION, ADVANCES DIRECTLY TO ANY OF THE TRADE CONTRACTORS FOR
PROJECT COSTS WHICH SHALL THERETOFORE HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY AGENT AND FOR WHICH
BORROWER SHALL HAVE FAILED TO MAKE PAYMENT AND THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT
BY BORROWER SHALL, AND HEREBY DOES, CONSTITUTE AN IRREVOCABLE AUTHORIZATION TO

AGREEMENT BY BORROWER SHALL, AND HEREBY DOES, CONSTITUTE AN IRREVOCABLE
AUTHORIZATION TO SO ADVANCE THE PROCEEDS ANY ADVANCE.  NO FURTHER AUTHORIZATION
FROM BORROWER SHALL BE NECESSARY AND ALL SUCH ADVANCES SHALL SATISFY THE
OBLIGATIONS OF AGENT AND LENDERS HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ADVANCE AND

DIRECTLY TO BORROWER.

(III)          BORROWER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR
APPLICATION OF ANY OF THE COSTS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 2.1(I)(I) AND 2.1(I)(II)
BY APPROPRIATE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, SO LONG AS THE FOLLOWING SHALL REMAIN
SATISFIED:

(A)          SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PROSECUTED WITH DILIGENCE BY
BORROWER AND SHALL OPERATE TO PREVENT ANY TAKING OR CLOSING OR SHUTTING DOWN OF

AGENT, IN ANY IMMINENT DANGER OF BEING FORFEITED OR LOST OR THE VALUE OF THE
COLLATERAL BEING ADVERSELY IMPACTED, AGENT MAY REQUIRE BORROWER TO, AND BORROWER
WILL, THEREUPON MAKE THE PAYMENT WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CONTEST.

(J)            FUNDING AUTHORIZATION.  THE PROCEEDS OF THE INITIAL ADVANCE AND
SUBSEQUENT ADVANCES MADE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SUBSEQUENT TO THE CLOSING
DATE ARE TO BE FUNDED BY AGENT BY WIRE TRANSFER TO THE ACCOUNT DESIGNATED BY

BE PRESUMPTIVE EVIDENCE OF THE CORRECTNESS OF SUCH RATES AND FEES, ABSENT
MANIFEST ERROR.

(D)           SO LONG AS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING
UNDER SECTION 8.1(A), (F) OR (G) AND WITHOUT NOTICE OF ANY KIND, OR SO LONG AS
ANY OTHER EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING AND AT THE ELECTION OF
AGENT (OR UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF REQUISITE LENDERS) CONFIRMED BY WRITTEN
NOTICE FROM AGENT TO BORROWER, THE INTEREST RATES APPLICABLE TO THE TERM LOAN
SHALL BE INCREASED BY TWO PERCENTAGE POINTS (2%) PER ANNUM ABOVE THE RATES OF
INTEREST OR THE RATE OF SUCH FEE OTHERWISE APPLICABLE HEREUNDER (“DEFAULT

EXPIRATION OF THE APPLICABLE LIBOR PERIOD AND THE SUCCEEDING LIBOR PERIOD OF
THAT CONTINUED PORTION OF THE TERM LOAN SHALL COMMENCE ON THE FIRST DAY AFTER
THE LAST DAY OF THE LIBOR PERIOD OF THE PORTION OF THE TERM LOAN TO BE
CONTINUED.  ANY PORTION OF THE TERM LOAN HAVING THE SAME PROPOSED LIBOR PERIOD
TO BE MADE OR CONTINUED AS, OR CONVERTED INTO, A LIBOR LOAN MUST BE IN A MINIMUM
AMOUNT OF $2,000,000 AND INTEGRAL MULTIPLES OF $500,000 IN EXCESS OF SUCH
AMOUNT.  ANY SUCH ELECTION MUST BE MADE BY NOON (NEW YORK TIME) ON THE 3RD
BUSINESS DAY PRIOR TO (1) THE DATE OF ANY PROPOSED ADVANCE WHICH IS TO BEAR
INTEREST AT THE LIBOR RATE, (2) THE END OF EACH LIBOR PERIOD WITH RESPECT TO ANY
LIBOR LOAN TO BE CONTINUED AS SUCH, OR (3) THE DATE ON WHICH BORROWER WISHES TO
CONVERT ANY INDEX RATE LOAN TO A LIBOR LOAN FOR A LIBOR PERIOD DESIGNATED BY
BORROWER IN SUCH ELECTION.  IF NO ELECTION IS RECEIVED WITH RESPECT TO A LIBOR
LOAN BY NOON (NEW YORK TIME) ON THE 3RD BUSINESS DAY PRIOR TO THE END OF THE
LIBOR PERIOD WITH RESPECT THERETO, THAT LIBOR LOAN SHALL BE CONVERTED TO AN
INDEX RATE LOAN AT THE END OF ITS LIBOR PERIOD.  BORROWER MUST MAKE SUCH
ELECTION BY NOTICE TO AGENT IN WRITING, BY FAX, E-MAIL OR OVERNIGHT COURIER (OR
BY TELEPHONE, TO BE PROMPTLY CONFIRMED IN WRITING).  IN THE CASE OF ANY

NO LOAN SHALL BE MADE, CONVERTED INTO OR CONTINUED AS, A LIBOR LOAN, IF AN EVENT
OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING AND AGENT OR REQUISITE LENDERS HAVE
DETERMINED NOT TO MAKE OR CONTINUE ANY LOAN AS A LIBOR LOAN AS A RESULT THEREOF.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(F)            NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION 2.2, IF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION DETERMINES IN A FINAL ORDER
THAT THE RATE OF INTEREST PAYABLE HEREUNDER EXCEEDS THE HIGHEST RATE OF INTEREST
PERMISSIBLE UNDER LAW (THE “MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE”), THEN SO LONG AS THE MAXIMUM
LAWFUL RATE WOULD BE SO EXCEEDED, THE RATE OF INTEREST PAYABLE HEREUNDER SHALL
BE EQUAL TO THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF AT ANY TIME
THEREAFTER THE RATE OF INTEREST PAYABLE HEREUNDER IS LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM
LAWFUL RATE, BORROWER SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY INTEREST HEREUNDER AT THE MAXIMUM
LAWFUL RATE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TOTAL INTEREST RECEIVED BY AGENT, ON BEHALF
OF LENDERS, IS EQUAL TO THE TOTAL INTEREST THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECEIVED HAD THE
INTEREST RATE PAYABLE HEREUNDER BEEN (BUT FOR THE OPERATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH)
THE INTEREST RATE PAYABLE SINCE THE CLOSING DATE AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT.  THEREAFTER, INTEREST HEREUNDER SHALL BE PAID AT THE RATE(S) OF
INTEREST AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 2.2(A) THROUGH (E), UNLESS AND
UNTIL THE RATE OF INTEREST AGAIN EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE, AND AT THAT
TIME THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL AGAIN APPLY.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL INTEREST
RECEIVED BY ANY LENDER PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF EXCEED THE AMOUNT THAT SUCH
LENDER COULD LAWFULLY HAVE RECEIVED HAD THE INTEREST DUE HEREUNDER BEEN
CALCULATED FOR THE FULL TERM HEREOF AT THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE.  IF THE MAXIMUM
LAWFUL RATE IS CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH, SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE
CALCULATED AT A DAILY RATE EQUAL TO THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE DIVIDED BY THE
NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE YEAR IN WHICH SUCH CALCULATION IS MADE.  IF,
NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 2.2(F), A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION SHALL DETERMINE BY A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE ORDER THAT A LENDER HAS
RECEIVED INTEREST HEREUNDER IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE, AGENT SHALL,
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PROMPTLY APPLY SUCH EXCESS AS
SPECIFIED IN SECTION 2.5(E) AND THEREAFTER SHALL REFUND ANY EXCESS TO BORROWER
OR AS SUCH COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION MAY OTHERWISE ORDER.

2.3           Fees.

(A)           FEE LETTER.  BORROWER SHALL PAY TO BDCF, INDIVIDUALLY, THE FEES
SPECIFIED IN THAT CERTAIN FEE LETTER DATED AS OF JANUARY 19, 2007 AMONG BORROWER
AND BDCF (THE “BDCF FEE LETTER”), AT THE TIMES SPECIFIED FOR PAYMENT THEREIN.

BORROWER SHALL PAY TO AGENT, FOR THE RATABLE BENEFIT OF SUCH LENDERS, IN
ARREARS, ON THE FIRST BUSINESS DAY OF EACH CALENDAR MONTH PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 30,
2008 AND ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, A FEE FOR BORROWER’S NON-USE OF AVAILABLE FUNDS
IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE APPLICABLE UNUSED LINE FEE MARGIN PER ANNUM MULTIPLIED
BY THE OUTSTANDING TERM LOAN COMMITMENT AS OF THE LAST BUSINESS DAY OF THE
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING CALENDAR MONTH.

(C)           [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

(D)           LIBOR BREAKAGE COSTS.  UPON (I) ANY DEFAULT BY BORROWER IN MAKING
ANY BORROWING OF, CONVERSION INTO OR CONTINUATION OF, ANY LIBOR LOAN FOLLOWING
BORROWER’S DELIVERY TO AGENT OF ANY LIBOR LOAN REQUEST IN RESPECT THEREOF OR
(II) ANY PAYMENT OF A LIBOR LOAN ON ANY DAY THAT IS NOT THE LAST DAY OF THE
LIBOR PERIOD APPLICABLE THERETO (REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE OF SUCH PREPAYMENT AND
WHETHER VOLUNTARY, BY ACCELERATION OR OTHERWISE), BORROWER SHALL PAY AGENT, FOR
THE BENEFIT OF ALL LENDERS THAT FUNDED OR WERE PREPARED TO FUND ANY SUCH LIBOR
LOAN, LIBOR BREAKAGE COSTS, IF APPLICABLE.

(E)           EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES.  BORROWER AGREES TO PAY ALL
REASONABLE, OUT-OF-POCKET FEES, CHARGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING
REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) INCURRED BY AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY MATTERS CONTEMPLATED BY OR ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN CONNECTION

CONNECTION WITH ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, EVENT OF DEFAULT, WORK-OUT OR ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR
TO COLLECT ANY PAYMENTS DUE FROM BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY.  IN ADDITION,
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY WORK-OUT OR ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO
COLLECT ANY PAYMENTS DUE FROM BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY, BORROWER AGREES
TO PROMPTLY PAY ALL REASONABLE, OUT-OF-POCKET FEES, CHARGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, INCURRED BY LENDERS. 
ALL FEES, CHARGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR WHICH BORROWER IS RESPONSIBLE UNDER
THIS SECTION 2.3(E) SHALL BE DEEMED PART OF THE OBLIGATIONS WHEN INCURRED,
PAYABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINAL SENTENCE OF SECTION 2.4 AND SECURED BY THE
COLLATERAL.

such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of
interest and Fees due hereunder.

DECEMBER 31, 2008, BORROWER SHALL PREPAY THE TERM LOAN IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE EXCESS CASH FLOW FOR SUCH FISCAL YEAR.  THE
CALCULATION SHALL BE BASED ON THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR BORROWER AND
ITS SUBSIDIARIES.  ANY PREPAYMENTS FROM EXCESS CASH FLOW PAID PURSUANT TO THIS
SECTION 2.5(B) SHALL BE APPLIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.5(E).

(C)           PREPAYMENTS FROM ASSET DISPOSITIONS.  IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT OF
ANY NET PROCEEDS IN EXCESS OF $100,000 IN THE AGGREGATE DURING ANY FISCAL YEAR,

EXCEPT THAT BORROWER OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES MAY REINVEST ALL NET PROCEEDS OF ANY
SUCH ASSET DISPOSITION (TO THE EXTENT NOT IN EXCESS OF $500,000 IN ANY
CONSECUTIVE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD), WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS, IN FIXED ASSETS.  IF
BORROWER DOES NOT INTEND TO SO REINVEST

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUCH NET PROCEEDS OR IF THE PERIOD SET FORTH IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
SENTENCE EXPIRES WITHOUT BORROWER HAVING REINVESTED THE NET PROCEEDS OF ANY SUCH
ASSET DISPOSITION, BORROWER SHALL PREPAY THE TERM LOAN IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
SUCH REMAINING NET PROCEEDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.5(E).

(D)           PREPAYMENTS FROM ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.  IMMEDIATELY UPON THE
RECEIPT BY BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE ISSUANCE
OF STOCK, BORROWER SHALL PREPAY THE TERM LOAN IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO SUCH
PROCEEDS, NET OF UNDERWRITING DISCOUNTS AND COMMISSIONS AND OTHER REASONABLE
OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH.  THE PAYMENTS SHALL BE APPLIED IN

FIRST, TO THE TERM LOAN IN THE INVERSE ORDER OF MATURITY OF THE SCHEDULED
INSTALLMENTS UNTIL SUCH TERM LOAN SHALL HAVE BEEN PREPAID IN FULL AND (II)
THEREAFTER TO ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS THEN DUE AND OWING. ANY SUCH PREPAYMENT
SHALL BE APPLIED FIRST TO INDEX RATE LOAN OF THE TYPE REQUIRED TO BE PREPAID
BEFORE APPLICATION TO LIBOR LOAN OF THE TYPE REQUIRED TO BE PREPAID, IN EACH
CASE IN A MANNER WHICH MINIMIZES ANY RESULTING LIBOR BREAKAGE COSTS.

2.6           Maturity.  All of the Obligations shall become due and payable as
set forth herein, but in any event all of the remaining Obligations shall become
due and payable upon the Maturity Date or pursuant to Section 8.3.  Until the
Termination Date, Agent shall be entitled to retain the Liens on the Collateral
granted under the Collateral Documents and the ability to exercise all rights
and remedies available to them under the Loan Documents and applicable laws.

2.7           Loan Accounts.  Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan
Account”) on its books to record:  the name and federal employer identification
number of each Lender, all Advances and the Term Loan(s), all payments made by
Borrower, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with
respect to the Term Loan or any other Obligations.  All entries in the Loan
Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices
as in effect from time to time.  The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on
Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest
error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders
by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording
shall not limit or otherwise affect (other than to the extent of such error)
Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations.  Agent shall render to Borrower a
quarterly accounting of transactions with respect to the Term Loan setting forth
the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding quarter.  Unless
Borrower notifies Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting
(specifically describing the basis for such objection), within forty-five (45)
days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall, absent
manifest error, be deemed presumptive evidence of all matters reflected
therein.  Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed
to be disputed by Borrower.  Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to
the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense
with the issuance of Term Notes to that Lender and may rely on the Loan Account
as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

2.8           Yield Protection.

(A)           CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS.  IN THE EVENT THAT ANY
LENDER SHALL HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE ADOPTION AFTER THE DATE HEREOF OF ANY LAW,
TREATY, GOVERNMENTAL (OR QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL) RULE, REGULATION, GUIDELINE OR
ORDER REGARDING CAPITAL ADEQUACY, RESERVE REQUIREMENTS OR SIMILAR REQUIREMENTS
OR COMPLIANCE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY CORPORATION CONTROLLING SUCH LENDER WITH ANY
REQUEST OR DIRECTIVE REGARDING CAPITAL ADEQUACY, RESERVE REQUIREMENTS OR SIMILAR
REQUIREMENTS (WHETHER OR NOT HAVING THE FORCE OF LAW AND WHETHER OR NOT FAILURE
TO COMPLY THEREWITH WOULD BE UNLAWFUL) FROM ANY CENTRAL BANK OR GOVERNMENTAL
AGENCY OR BODY HAVING JURISDICTION DOES OR SHALL HAVE THE EFFECT OF INCREASING
THE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL, RESERVES OR OTHER FUNDS REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED BY SUCH

LOAN, THEN, UNLESS THAT LENDER IS ABLE TO MAKE OR TO CONTINUE TO FUND OR TO
MAINTAIN SUCH LIBOR LOAN AT ANOTHER BRANCH OR OFFICE OF THAT LENDER WITHOUT, IN
THAT LENDER’S OPINION, ADVERSELY AFFECTING IT OR ITS TERM LOAN OR THE INCOME
OBTAINED THEREFROM, ON NOTICE THEREOF AND DEMAND THEREFOR BY SUCH LENDER TO

DAYS AFTER THE DELIVERY OF SUCH NOTICE AND DEMAND, CONVERTS ALL LIBOR LOAN INTO
INDEX RATE LOAN. IF, AFTER THE DATE HEREOF, THE INTRODUCTION OF, CHANGE IN OR
INTERPRETATION OF ANY LAW, RULE, REGULATION, TREATY OR DIRECTIVE WOULD IMPOSE OR

TO BORROWER (PROVIDED THAT THIS LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO INCREASED COSTS
ARISING OUT OF THE RETROACTIVE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW, TREATY, RULE, REGULATION
OR DIRECTIVE (OR ANY CHANGE IN INTERPRETATION THEREOF) WHICH ARISES DURING SUCH
180 DAY PERIOD), AND PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT SUCH LENDER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO
ANY SUCH ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS UNLESS SUCH LENDER IS IMPOSING SIMILAR TYPES OF
ASSESSMENTS ON OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED BORROWERS.  A CERTIFICATE AS TO THE
AMOUNT OF SUCH COST AND SHOWING THE BASIS OF THE COMPUTATION OF SUCH COST
SUBMITTED BY AGENT ON BEHALF OF ALL SUCH AFFECTED LENDERS TO BORROWER SHALL,
SAVE FOR MANIFEST ERROR, BE PRESUMPTIVE EVIDENCE OF THE MATTERS SET FORTH
THEREIN.  EACH LENDER AGREES THAT, AS PROMPTLY AS IS PRACTICABLE AFTER IT
BECOMES AWARE OF ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REFERRED TO ABOVE WHICH WOULD RESULT IN ANY
SUCH INCREASED COST, THE AFFECTED LENDER SHALL, TO THE EXTENT NOT INCONSISTENT
WITH SUCH LENDER’S INTERNAL POLICIES OF GENERAL APPLICATION, USE REASONABLE
COMMERCIAL EFFORTS TO MINIMIZE COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY IT AND PAYABLE TO
IT BY BORROWER PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.8(B).

HAVE RECEIVED HAD NO SUCH DEDUCTIONS BEEN MADE.  IF ANY AMOUNTS ARE PAYABLE IN
RESPECT OF NON-EXCLUDED TAXES OR OTHER TAXES PURSUANT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCE,
BORROWER AGREES TO REIMBURSE EACH LENDER OR AGENT, UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF

of all business interruption insurance, in each case for the benefit of Agent
and Lenders and (ii) cause Agent and each Lender to be named as additional
insureds in the case of all liability insurance, and in each case such insurance
shall be primary and non-contributory for the duration of this Agreement.  So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds of business
interruption insurance will be released to the Loan Parties.  In the event any
Loan Party fails to provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage
required by this Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at such Loan Party’s
expense to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral.  This insurance may, but
need not, protect such Loan Party’s interests.  The coverage purchased by Agent
may not pay any claim made by such Loan Party or any claim that is made against
such Loan Party in connection with the Collateral.  If Agent purchases insurance
for the Collateral, such Loan Party will be responsible for the costs of that
insurance (which may exceed the cost of insurance that such Loan Party could
obtain on its own), including interest and other Charges imposed by Agent in
connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the
cancellation or expiration of the insurance.  The costs of the insurance may be
added to the Obligations.

5.3           Inspection; Consultants; Lender Meeting. Each Loan Party shall
permit any authorized representatives of Agent to visit, audit and inspect any
of the properties of such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries, including its and
their financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts
therefrom, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and business with its
and their officers and certified public accountants, at such reasonable times
during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested
(collectively a “Field Review”).  At the reasonable request of Agent, Borrower
shall (or permit Agent to) engage, at Borrower’s expense, examiners, appraisers,
industry consultants, construction consultants, environmental engineering firms
and other professionals that Agent deems appropriate to assist in the ongoing
maintenance of the Project and Property.  Representatives of each Lender will be
permitted to accompany representatives of Agent during each Field Review at
Borrower’s expense; provided however, that with respect to any Lender which is
not an Affiliate or a Related Fund of the Agent, this will be at such Lender’s
expense.  In addition to the foregoing, each Loan Party will participate and
will cause key management personnel of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries to
participate in a meeting with Agent and Lenders at least once during each year,
which meeting shall be held at such time and such place as may be reasonably
requested by Agent.

5.4           Organizational Existence.  Except as otherwise permitted by
Section 6.6, each Loan Party will and will cause its material Subsidiaries to at
all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its organizational
existence and all rights and franchises material to its business.

5.5           Environmental Matters.  Each Loan Party shall and shall cause each
Person within its control to: (a) conduct its operations and keep and maintain
its Real Estate in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental
Permits other than noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; (b) notify Agent promptly after such Loan Party or any
Person within its control becomes aware of any violation of Environmental Laws
or Environmental Permits or any Release on, at, in, under, above, to, from or
about any Real Estate that is reasonably likely to result in Environmental
Liabilities to a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in excess of $50,000; and
(c) promptly forward to Agent a copy of any order, notice of actual or alleged
violation or liability, request for information or any communication or report
received by such Loan Party or any Person within its control in connection with
any such violation or Release or any other matter relating to any Environmental
Laws or Environmental Permits that would reasonably be expected to result in
Environmental Liabilities in excess of $50,000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.6           Landlords’ Agreements, Mortgagee Agreements, Bailee Letters and
Real Estate Purchases.  Each Loan Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a
landlord’s agreement, mortgagee agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from
the lessor of each leased property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee with
respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location
where Collateral with a book value greater than $100,000 is stored or located,
which agreement or letter shall contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens
or claims that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee may assert against the
Collateral at that location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to Agent. With respect to such leased locations or warehouse,
processor or converter facility, or where Collateral is stored or located as to
which no such agreement has been obtained, the Eligible Inventory at that
location shall be subject to such Reserves as may be established by Agent in its
reasonable credit judgment.  Each Loan Party shall and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to timely and fully pay and perform their obligations under all
leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or public
warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located (other than Collateral in an
aggregate amount for all such locations not to exceed $100,000 in the

BY AGENT.

(C)           EACH LOAN PARTY SHALL (I) CAUSE EACH PERSON, UPON ITS BECOMING A

EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT), PROMPTLY TO GUARANTY THE
OBLIGATIONS AND TO GRANT TO AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF AGENT AND LENDERS, A
SECURITY INTEREST IN THE REAL, PERSONAL AND MIXED PROPERTY OF SUCH DOMESTIC
SUBSIDIARY TO SECURE THE OBLIGATIONS AND (II) PLEDGE, OR CAUSE TO BE PLEDGED, TO
AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF AGENT AND LENDERS, ALL OF THE STOCK OF SUCH DOMESTIC

the Cash Collateral Account) as of or after the Closing Date.  Each such Control
Agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.  If any Control
Agreement is terminated for any reason by the applicable bank with respect to
one or more deposit accounts, Borrower shall immediately close such deposit
accounts and transfer the funds held therein to a bank which then enters into a
Control Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDERS), ALL OF WHICH SHALL BE PAID BY BORROWER TO AGENT

and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent and any Lender with respect to this

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 9.
ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION

9.1           Assignment and Participations.

(a)           Subject to the terms of this Section 9.1 and all applicable
required governmental or regulatory approval, any Lender may make an assignment
to a Qualified Assignee of, or sale of participations in, at any time or times,
the Loan Documents, Term Loan, or any portion thereof or interest therein,
including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties
thereunder.  Any assignment by a Lender shall:  (i) require the consent of Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a
Qualified Assignee and which consent is not required by an assignment between
Lenders or from a Lender to an Affiliate of a Lender) and the execution of an
assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement” substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 9.1 and otherwise in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent); (ii) be conditioned on such
assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent and the Borrower
that it is purchasing the applicable Term Loan to be assigned to it for its own
account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution
thereof; (iii) except with respect to any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate
of such Lender, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assignee
Lender shall have Term Loan Commitment in an amount at least equal to $2,500,000
and the assigning Lender shall have retained Term Loan Commitment in an amount
at least equal to $2,500,000 and (iv) unless waived by Agent, require a payment
to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500 (other than direct or indirect
assignments from a Lender to an Affiliate of a Lender).  Notwithstanding the
above, Agent may in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to applicable law
and regulation) permit any assignment by a Lender to a Person or Persons that
are not Qualified Assignees.  In the case of an assignment by a Lender that has
become effective under this Section 9.1, (i) the assignee shall have, to the
extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all
other Lenders hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations hereunder with respect to its Term Loan Commitment or assigned
portion thereof and the Term Loan, and other interests assigned by it from and
after the effective date of such assignment.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to
the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender.”  In all
instances, each Lender’s liability to make Term Loan hereunder shall be several
and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
applicable Term Loan Commitment.  In the event Agent or any Lender assigns or
otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, Agent or any such Lender
shall so notify Borrower and Borrower shall (i) notify the Minnesota Racing
Commission thereof in accordance with Section 5.1(b) and (ii) upon the request
of Agent or such Lender, execute new Term Notes in exchange for the Term Notes,
if any, being assigned.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9.1(a), (a) any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it
and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a
Federal Reserve Bank, (b) any Lender that is an investment fund may assign the
Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to another investment fund managed by the same investment
advisor or pledge such Obligations and rights to a trustee for the benefit of
its investors and (c) any Lender may assign the Obligations to an Affiliate of
such Lender or to a Person that is a Lender prior to the date of such
assignment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, neither the Lenders nor any of their successors or assigns shall
assign or transfer any interest herein without obtaining a representation from
such successor or assign that any such assignment or transfer would not result
in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section
4975 of the IRC with respect to the Plans or in a manner violative of applicable
law or regulation.

(B)           ANY PARTICIPATION BY A LENDER OF ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS TERM LOAN
COMMITMENT SHALL BE MADE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL AMOUNTS PAYABLE BY
BORROWER HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED AS IF THAT LENDER HAD NOT SOLD SUCH
PARTICIPATION, AND THAT THE HOLDER OF ANY SUCH PARTICIPATION SHALL NOT BE
ENTITLED TO REQUIRE SUCH LENDER TO TAKE OR OMIT TO TAKE ANY ACTION HEREUNDER
EXCEPT ACTIONS DIRECTLY AFFECTING (I) ANY REDUCTION IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF,
OR INTEREST RATE OR FEES PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO, ANY LOAN IN WHICH SUCH HOLDER
PARTICIPATES, (II) ANY EXTENSION OF THE SCHEDULED AMORTIZATION OF THE PRINCIPAL
AMOUNT OF ANY LOAN IN WHICH SUCH HOLDER PARTICIPATES OR THE FINAL MATURITY DATE
THEREOF, AND (III)

79

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the
other Loan Documents).  Solely for purposes of Sections 2.8, 2.9, 9.3 and 10.1,
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a participation shall give rise to a
direct obligation of Borrower to the participant and the participant shall be
considered to be a “Lender.”  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence no
Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have any obligation or duty to any
participant.  Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a
participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal
solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred. 
Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its obligations, acting solely
for this purpose as agent for the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of such participants (and each change
thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and the rights, interests or
obligations of such participants and in any right to receive any payments
hereunder.

(C)           EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9.1, NO LENDER SHALL,
AS BETWEEN BORROWER AND THAT LENDER, OR AGENT AND THAT LENDER, BE RELIEVED OF
ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AS A RESULT OF ANY SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER
OR NEGOTIATION OF, OR GRANTING OF PARTICIPATION IN, ALL OR ANY PART OF THE TERM
LOAN, THE TERM NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OWED TO SUCH LENDER.

(D)           AGENT SHALL MAINTAIN, ON BEHALF OF BORROWER, IN ITS OFFICES A
“REGISTER” FOR RECORDING THE NAME, ADDRESS, COMMITMENT AND TERM LOAN OWING TO
EACH LENDER.  THE ENTRIES IN SUCH REGISTER SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE
AMOUNTS DUE AND OWING TO EACH LENDER IN THE ABSENCE OF MANIFEST ERROR. 
BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER MAY TREAT EACH PERSON WHOSE NAME IS RECORDED IN
SUCH REGISTER PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF AS A LENDER FOR ALL PURPOSES OF THIS
AGREEMENT.  THE REGISTER DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION BY
BORROWER AND ANY LENDER, AT ANY REASONABLE TIME UPON REASONABLE PRIOR NOTICE.

(E)           A LENDER MAY FURNISH ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING LOAN PARTIES IN
THE POSSESSION OF SUCH LENDER FROM TIME TO TIME TO ASSIGNEES AND PARTICIPANTS
(INCLUDING PROSPECTIVE ASSIGNEES AND PARTICIPANTS); PROVIDED THAT SUCH LENDER
SHALL OBTAIN FROM ASSIGNEES OR PARTICIPANTS CONFIDENTIALITY COVENANTS
SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO THOSE CONTAINED IN SECTION 10.14.

(F)            NO LENDER, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF BORROWER AND
AGENT, SHALL ASSIGN OR SELL PARTICIPATIONS IN ANY PORTION OF ITS TERM LOAN OR
TERM LOAN COMMITMENT TO A POTENTIAL LENDER OR PARTICIPANT, IF, AS OF THE DATE OF
THE PROPOSED ASSIGNMENT OR SALE, THE ASSIGNEE LENDER OR PARTICIPANT WOULD BE
SUBJECT TO CAPITAL ADEQUACY OR SIMILAR REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 2.8(A),
INCREASED COSTS OR AN INABILITY TO FUND LIBOR LOAN UNDER SECTION 2.8(B), OR
WITHHOLDING TAXES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.9.

9.2           Agent.

(A)           APPOINTMENT.  EACH LENDER HEREBY DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS BDCF AS
ITS AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND EACH LENDER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AGENT TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER THE COLLATERAL
DOCUMENTS AND TO TAKE SUCH ACTION OR TO REFRAIN FROM TAKING SUCH ACTION ON ITS
BEHALF UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND
TO EXERCISE SUCH POWERS AS ARE SET FORTH HEREIN OR THEREIN, TOGETHER WITH SUCH
OTHER POWERS AS ARE REASONABLY INCIDENTAL THERETO.  AGENT IS AUTHORIZED AND
EMPOWERED TO AMEND, MODIFY, OR WAIVE ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON BEHALF OF LENDERS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT
CERTAIN OF LENDERS’ CONSENT BE OBTAINED IN CERTAIN INSTANCES AS PROVIDED IN THIS
SECTION 9.2 AND SECTION 10.2.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.2 ARE SOLELY FOR
THE BENEFIT OF AGENT AND LENDERS AND NEITHER BORROWER NOR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY
SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF ANY OF THE PROVISIONS
HEREOF.  IN PERFORMING ITS FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AGENT
SHALL ACT SOLELY AS AGENT OF LENDERS AND DOES NOT ASSUME AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED
TO HAVE ASSUMED ANY OBLIGATION TOWARD OR RELATIONSHIP OF

80

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agency or trust with or for Borrower or any other Loan Party.  Agent may perform
any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its
agents or employees.

(B)           NATURE OF DUTIES.  THE DUTIES OF AGENT SHALL BE MECHANICAL AND
ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE.  AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT A
FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF ANY LENDER.   NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL BE
CONSTRUED TO IMPOSE UPON AGENT ANY OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN OR THEREIN.  EACH
LENDER SHALL MAKE ITS OWN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND AFFAIRS OF EACH LOAN PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT
HEREUNDER AND SHALL MAKE ITS OWN APPRAISAL OF THE CREDITWORTHINESS OF EACH LOAN
PARTY, AND AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY OR RESPONSIBILITY, EITHER INITIALLY OR ON A
CONTINUING BASIS, TO PROVIDE ANY LENDER WITH ANY CREDIT OR OTHER INFORMATION
WITH RESPECT THERETO (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED HEREIN).  IF AGENT SEEKS
THE CONSENT OR APPROVAL OF ANY LENDERS TO THE TAKING OR REFRAINING FROM TAKING
ANY ACTION HEREUNDER, THEN AGENT SHALL SEND NOTICE THEREOF TO EACH LENDER. 
AGENT SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY EACH LENDER ANY TIME THAT THE REQUISITE LENDERS HAVE
INSTRUCTED AGENT TO ACT OR REFRAIN FROM ACTING PURSUANT HERETO.

(C)           RIGHTS, EXCULPATION, ETC.  NEITHER AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY LENDER FOR ANY ACTION
TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THEM HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH, EXCEPT THAT AGENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE
EXTENT OF ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A
FINAL NON-APPEALABLE ORDER BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.  AGENT SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY APPORTIONMENT OR DISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS MADE BY IT IN
GOOD FAITH AND IF ANY SUCH APPORTIONMENT OR DISTRIBUTION IS SUBSEQUENTLY
DETERMINED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN ERROR THE SOLE RECOURSE OF ANY LENDER TO WHOM
PAYMENT WAS DUE BUT NOT MADE, SHALL BE TO RECOVER FROM OTHER LENDERS ANY PAYMENT
IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT TO WHICH THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE ENTITLED (AND SUCH
OTHER LENDERS HEREBY AGREE TO RETURN TO SUCH LENDER ANY SUCH ERRONEOUS PAYMENTS
RECEIVED BY THEM).  IN NO EVENT SHALL AGENT BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE, SPECIAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES. IN PERFORMING ITS
FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES HEREUNDER, AGENT SHALL EXERCISE THE SAME CARE WHICH IT
WOULD IN DEALING WITH LOANS FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT, BUT NEITHER AGENT NOR ANY OF
ITS AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY LENDER FOR ANY
RECITALS, STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES HEREIN OR FOR THE EXECUTION,
EFFECTIVENESS, GENUINENESS, VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY, COLLECTIBILITY, OR
SUFFICIENCY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, OR FOR THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF ANY LOAN PARTY.  AGENT
SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO MAKE ANY INQUIRY CONCERNING EITHER THE PERFORMANCE OR
OBSERVANCE OF ANY OF THE TERMS, PROVISIONS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF ANY LOAN PARTY, OR THE
EXISTENCE OR POSSIBLE EXISTENCE OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT.  AGENT MAY
AT ANY TIME REQUEST INSTRUCTIONS FROM REQUISITE LENDERS OR ALL AFFECTED LENDERS
WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTIONS OR APPROVALS WHICH BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AGENT IS PERMITTED OR REQUIRED TO TAKE OR TO
GRANT.  IF SUCH INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROMPTLY REQUESTED, AGENT SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY
ENTITLED TO REFRAIN FROM TAKING ANY ACTION OR TO WITHHOLD ANY APPROVAL AND SHALL
NOT BE UNDER ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO ANY PERSON FOR REFRAINING FROM ANY
ACTION OR WITHHOLDING ANY APPROVAL UNDER ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS UNTIL IT
SHALL HAVE RECEIVED SUCH INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE REQUISITE LENDERS OR SUCH OTHER
PORTION OF THE LENDERS AS SHALL BE PRESCRIBED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  WITHOUT
LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT OF ACTION WHATSOEVER
AGAINST AGENT AS A RESULT OF AGENT ACTING OR REFRAINING FROM ACTING UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
OF REQUISITE LENDERS OR ALL AFFECTED LENDERS, AS APPLICABLE; AND,
NOTWITHSTANDING THE INSTRUCTIONS OF REQUISITE LENDERS OR ALL AFFECTED LENDERS,
AS APPLICABLE, AGENT SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO TAKE ANY ACTION IF IT BELIEVES,

AGENT TO ANY LIABILITY FOR WHICH IT HAS NOT RECEIVED SATISFACTORY
INDEMNIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 9.2(E).

81

(D)           RELIANCE.  AGENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RELY, AND SHALL BE FULLY
PROTECTED IN RELYING, UPON ANY WRITTEN NOTICES, STATEMENTS, CERTIFICATES, ORDERS

ANY WRITING, TELEX, FAX OR TELEGRAM) BELIEVED BY IT IN GOOD FAITH TO BE GENUINE
AND CORRECT AND TO HAVE BEEN SIGNED, SENT OR MADE BY THE PROPER PERSON, AND WITH
RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
AND ITS DUTIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.  AGENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RELY UPON
THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL, INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS, AND OTHER EXPERTS SELECTED
BY AGENT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

(E)           INDEMNIFICATION.  LENDERS WILL REIMBURSE AND INDEMNIFY AGENT FOR
AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES), ADVANCES OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST AGENT IN
ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY AGENT IN ITS
CAPACITY AS SUCH UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN
PROPORTION TO EACH LENDER’S PRO RATA SHARE, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF
THE FOREGOING IS NOT REIMBURSED BY BORROWER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO LENDER
SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES,
DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, ADVANCES OR
DISBURSEMENTS TO THE EXTENT RESULTING FROM AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE ORDER BY A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION.  IF ANY INDEMNITY FURNISHED TO AGENT FOR ANY PURPOSE SHALL, IN THE
OPINION OF AGENT, BE INSUFFICIENT OR BECOME IMPAIRED, AGENT MAY CALL FOR
ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY AND CEASE, OR NOT COMMENCE, TO DO THE ACTS INDEMNIFIED
AGAINST EVEN IF SO DIRECTED BY THE REQUISITE LENDERS OR SUCH OTHER PORTION OF
THE LENDERS AS SHALL BE PRESCRIBED BY THIS AGREEMENT UNTIL SUCH ADDITIONAL
INDEMNITY IS FURNISHED.  THE OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS UNDER THIS SECTION 9.2(E)
SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT.

(F)            BDCF (OR ANY SUCCESSOR AGENT) INDIVIDUALLY.  WITH RESPECT TO ITS
TERM LOAN COMMITMENT HEREUNDER, BDCF (OR ANY SUCCESSOR AGENT) SHALL HAVE AND MAY
EXERCISE THE SAME RIGHTS AND POWERS HEREUNDER AND IS SUBJECT TO THE SAME
OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES AS AND TO THE EXTENT SET FORTH HEREIN FOR ANY OTHER
LENDER.  THE TERMS “LENDERS,” “REQUISITE LENDERS,” OR ANY SIMILAR TERMS SHALL,
UNLESS THE CONTEXT CLEARLY OTHERWISE INDICATES, INCLUDE BDCF (OR ANY SUCCESSOR
AGENT) IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AS A LENDER OR ONE OF THE REQUISITE LENDERS. 
BDCF (OR ANY SUCCESSOR AGENT), EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH STRATEGIC
AFFILIATIONS, MAY LEND MONEY TO, ACQUIRE EQUITY OR OTHER OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN,
PROVIDE ADVISORY SERVICES TO AND GENERALLY ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF BANKING, TRUST
OR OTHER BUSINESS WITH ANY LOAN PARTY AS IF IT WERE NOT ACTING AS AGENT PURSUANT
HERETO AND WITHOUT ANY DUTY TO ACCOUNT THEREFOR TO LENDERS.  BDCF (OR ANY
SUCCESSOR AGENT), EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH STRATEGIC AFFILIATIONS, MAY ACCEPT
FEES AND OTHER CONSIDERATION FROM ANY LOAN PARTY FOR SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE WITHOUT HAVING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SAME TO LENDERS.  
EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BDCF MAY PURCHASE CERTAIN EQUITY INTEREST IN
BORROWER AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OF BDCF, AS AGENT
AND AS A LENDER AND AS A HOLDER OF AN EQUITY INTEREST IN BORROWER AND CONSENTS
THERETO.

(G)           SUCCESSOR AGENT.

(I)            RESIGNATION.  AGENT MAY RESIGN FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL ITS
AGENCY FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES HEREUNDER AT ANY TIME BY GIVING AT LEAST THIRTY (30)
BUSINESS DAYS’ PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO BORROWER AND LENDERS.  SUCH RESIGNATION
SHALL TAKE EFFECT UPON THE ACCEPTANCE BY A SUCCESSOR AGENT OF APPOINTMENT
PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (II) BELOW OR AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (II) BELOW.

(II)           APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.  UPON ANY SUCH NOTICE OF RESIGNATION
PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (I) ABOVE, REQUISITE LENDERS SHALL APPOINT A SUCCESSOR AGENT
WHICH, UNLESS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING, SHALL BE
SUBJECT TO BORROWER’S APPROVAL (WHICH SHALL NOT BE

82

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If a successor Agent shall not have been so
appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in clause (i)
above, the retiring Agent, upon notice to Borrower, shall then appoint a
successor Agent which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

(III)          SUCCESSOR AGENT.  UPON THE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY APPOINTMENT AS AGENT
UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS BY A SUCCESSOR AGENT, SUCH SUCCESSOR AGENT SHALL
THEREUPON SUCCEED TO AND BECOME VESTED WITH ALL THE RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES
AND DUTIES OF THE RETIRING AGENT, AND THE RETIRING AGENT SHALL BE DISCHARGED
FROM ITS DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.  AFTER ANY RETIRING
AGENT’S RESIGNATION AS AGENT, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.2 SHALL CONTINUE
TO INURE TO ITS BENEFIT AS TO ANY ACTIONS TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY IT IN
ITS CAPACITY AS AGENT.

(H)           COLLATERAL MATTERS.

(I)            RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.  LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZE
AGENT, AT ITS OPTION AND IN ITS DISCRETION, TO RELEASE ANY LIEN GRANTED TO OR
HELD BY AGENT UPON ANY COLLATERAL (X) ON THE TERMINATION DATE, (Y) CONSTITUTING
PROPERTY BEING SOLD OR DISPOSED OF IF BORROWER CERTIFIES TO AGENT THAT THE SALE
OR DISPOSITION IS MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
(AGENT MAY RELY IN GOOD FAITH CONCLUSIVELY ON ANY SUCH CERTIFICATE, WITHOUT
FURTHER INQUIRY, AND AGENT AGREES TO RELEASE SUCH LIEN UPON RECEIPT OF A WRITTEN
REQUEST THEREFOR FROM BORROWER) OR (Z) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE
NEXT SENTENCE.  IN ADDITION, WITH THE CONSENT OF REQUISITE LENDERS, DURING ANY
FISCAL YEAR AGENT MAY RELEASE ANY LIEN GRANTED TO OR HELD BY AGENT UPON ANY
COLLATERAL HAVING A BOOK VALUE NOT GREATER THAN TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THE TOTAL
BOOK VALUE OF ALL COLLATERAL AS OF THE FIRST DAY OF SUCH FISCAL YEAR.

(II)           CONFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY; EXECUTION OF RELEASES.  WITHOUT IN ANY
MANNER LIMITING AGENT’S AUTHORITY TO ACT WITHOUT ANY SPECIFIC OR FURTHER
AUTHORIZATION OR CONSENT BY LENDERS (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.2(H)(I)), EACH
LENDER AGREES TO CONFIRM IN WRITING, UPON REQUEST BY AGENT OR BORROWER, THE
AUTHORITY TO RELEASE ANY COLLATERAL CONFERRED UPON AGENT UNDER CLAUSES (X) AND
(Y) OF SECTION 9.2(H)(I).  UPON RECEIPT BY AGENT OF ANY REQUIRED CONFIRMATION
FROM THE REQUISITE LENDERS OF ITS AUTHORITY TO RELEASE ANY PARTICULAR ITEM OR
TYPES OF COLLATERAL, AND UPON AT LEAST TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS’ PRIOR WRITTEN
REQUEST BY BORROWER, AGENT SHALL (AND IS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZED BY
LENDERS TO) EXECUTE SUCH DOCUMENTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO EVIDENCE THE RELEASE
OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO AGENT UPON SUCH COLLATERAL; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT
(X) AGENT SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO EXECUTE ANY SUCH DOCUMENT ON TERMS WHICH, IN
AGENT’S OPINION, WOULD EXPOSE AGENT TO LIABILITY OR CREATE ANY OBLIGATION OR
ENTAIL ANY CONSEQUENCE OTHER THAN THE RELEASE OF SUCH LIENS WITHOUT RECOURSE OR
WARRANTY, AND (Y) SUCH RELEASE SHALL NOT IN ANY MANNER DISCHARGE, AFFECT OR
IMPAIR THE OBLIGATIONS OR ANY LIENS UPON (OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY LOAN PARTY, IN
RESPECT OF), ALL INTERESTS RETAINED BY ANY LOAN PARTY, INCLUDING THE PROCEEDS OF
ANY SALE, ALL OF WHICH SHALL CONTINUE TO CONSTITUTE PART OF THE COLLATERAL.

(III)          ABSENCE OF DUTY.  AGENT SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER TO
ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSURE THAT THE PROPERTY COVERED BY THE
COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS EXISTS OR IS OWNED BY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR
IS CARED FOR, PROTECTED OR INSURED OR HAS BEEN ENCUMBERED OR THAT THE LIENS
GRANTED TO AGENT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY OR SUFFICIENTLY OR LAWFULLY CREATED,
PERFECTED, PROTECTED OR ENFORCED OR ARE ENTITLED TO ANY PARTICULAR PRIORITY, OR
TO EXERCISE AT ALL OR IN ANY PARTICULAR MANNER OR UNDER ANY DUTY OF CARE,
DISCLOSURE OR FIDELITY, OR TO CONTINUE EXERCISING, ANY OF THE RIGHTS,
AUTHORITIES AND POWERS GRANTED OR AVAILABLE TO AGENT IN THIS SECTION 9.2(H) OR
IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IN RESPECT OF
THE PROPERTY COVERED BY THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT
RELATED THERETO, AGENT MAY ACT IN ANY MANNER IT MAY DEEM

83

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in property covered
by the Collateral Documents as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no
duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders, provided that Agent
shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own
account.

(I)            AGENCY FOR PERFECTION.  AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY APPOINT EACH
OTHER LENDER AS AGENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PERFECTING AGENT’S SECURITY INTEREST IN
ASSETS WHICH, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE IN ANY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, CAN BE
PERFECTED BY POSSESSION OR CONTROL.  SHOULD ANY LENDER (OTHER THAN AGENT) OBTAIN
POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF ANY SUCH ASSETS, SUCH LENDER SHALL NOTIFY AGENT
THEREOF, AND, PROMPTLY UPON AGENT’S REQUEST THEREFOR, SHALL DELIVER SUCH ASSETS
TO AGENT OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AGENT’S INSTRUCTIONS OR TRANSFER CONTROL TO AGENT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AGENT’S INSTRUCTIONS.  EACH LENDER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT
HAVE ANY RIGHT INDIVIDUALLY TO ENFORCE OR SEEK TO ENFORCE ANY COLLATERAL
DOCUMENT OR TO REALIZE UPON ANY COLLATERAL SECURITY FOR THE TERM LOAN UNLESS
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY AGENT IN WRITING, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT
SUCH RIGHTS AND REMEDIES MAY BE EXERCISED ONLY BY AGENT.

(J)            NOTICE OF DEFAULT.  AGENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE
OR NOTICE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT EXCEPT WITH
RESPECT TO DEFAULTS IN THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND FEES REQUIRED TO
BE PAID TO AGENT FOR THE ACCOUNT OF LENDERS, UNLESS AGENT SHALL HAVE RECEIVED
WRITTEN NOTICE FROM A LENDER OR BORROWER REFERRING TO THIS AGREEMENT, DESCRIBING
SUCH DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT AND STATING THAT SUCH NOTICE IS A “NOTICE OF
DEFAULT”.  AGENT WILL USE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO NOTIFY EACH LENDER OF ITS
RECEIPT OF ANY SUCH NOTICE, UNLESS SUCH NOTICE IS WITH RESPECT TO DEFAULTS IN
THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND FEES, IN WHICH CASE AGENT WILL NOTIFY
EACH LENDER OF ITS RECEIPT OF SUCH NOTICE.  AGENT SHALL TAKE SUCH ACTION WITH
RESPECT TO SUCH DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY REQUISITE
LENDERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.  UNLESS AND UNTIL AGENT HAS RECEIVED ANY
SUCH REQUEST, AGENT MAY (BUT SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO) TAKE SUCH ACTION, OR
REFRAIN FROM TAKING SUCH ACTION, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEFAULT OR EVENT OF
DEFAULT AS IT SHALL DEEM ADVISABLE OR IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF LENDERS.

(K)           LENDER ACTIONS AGAINST COLLATERAL.  EACH LENDER AGREES THAT IT
WILL NOT TAKE ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION, NOR INSTITUTE ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS,
WITH RESPECT TO THE TERM LOAN, AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY LOAN PARTY HEREUNDER OR
UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL (INCLUDING THE EXERCISE
OF ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF) WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE AGENT OR REQUISITE LENDERS. 
ALL SUCH ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE (I) TAKEN IN CONCERT AND
(II) AT THE DIRECTION OF OR WITH THE CONSENT OF AGENT OR REQUISITE LENDERS. 
WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION BY AGENT TO ENFORCE THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF AGENT
AND THE LENDERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EACH LENDER
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT IN WHICH SUCH ACTION IS
MAINTAINED, AND AGREES TO DELIVER ITS TERM NOTES TO AGENT TO THE EXTENT
NECESSARY TO ENFORCE THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
LENDERS UNDER THE MORTGAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS HEREOF.

(L)            AGENT REPORTS.  EACH LENDER MAY FROM TIME TO TIME RECEIVE ONE OR
MORE REPORTS OR OTHER INFORMATION (EACH, A “REPORT”) PREPARED BY OR ON BEHALF OF
AGENT (OR ONE OR MORE OF AGENT’S AFFILIATES).  WITH RESPECT TO EACH REPORT, EACH
LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT:

(I)            AGENT (AND AGENT’S AFFILIATES) SHALL HAVE NO DUTIES OR
OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF A LENDER RECEIVING A COPY OF A
REPORT, WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED SOLELY AS A COURTESY, WITHOUT CONSIDERATION. 
EACH LENDER WILL PERFORM ITS OWN DILIGENCE AND WILL MAKE ITS OWN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION OF THE OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND AFFAIRS OF THE LOAN
PARTIES AND WILL NOT RELY ON ANY REPORT OR MAKE ANY CLAIM THAT IT HAS DONE SO. 
IN ADDITION, EACH LENDER RELEASES, AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT, ANY CLAIM
AGAINST AGENT (OR ONE OR MORE OF AGENT’S AFFILIATES) THAT IN ANY WAY RELATES TO
ANY REPORT OR ARISES OUT OF A LENDER HAVING ACCESS TO ANY REPORT OR ANY
DISCUSSION OF ITS

84

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

contents, and each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent (and
Agent’s Affiliates) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents
and attorneys from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by
a Lender or any of its personnel of this Section or otherwise arising out of a
Lender’s access to any Report or any discussion of its contents;

(II)           EACH REPORT MAY NOT BE COMPLETE AND CERTAIN INFORMATION AND
FINDINGS OBTAINED BY AGENT (OR ONE OR MORE OF AGENT’S AFFILIATES) REGARDING THE
OPERATIONS AND CONDITION OF THE LOAN PARTIES MAY NOT BE REFLECTED IN EACH
REPORT.  AGENT (AND AGENT’S AFFILIATES) MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO (I) ANY EXISTING OR PROPOSED FINANCING; (II) THE
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN ANY REPORT OR IN ANY
OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTATION; (III) THE SCOPE OR ADEQUACY OF AGENT’S (AND AGENT’S
AFFILIATES’) DUE DILIGENCE, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ANY ERRORS OR
OMISSIONS CONTAINED IN ANY REPORT OR IN ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTATION; AND
(IV) ANY WORK PERFORMED BY AGENT (OR ONE OR MORE OF AGENT’S AFFILIATES) IN
CONNECTION WITH OR USING ANY REPORT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENTATION; AND

(III)          EACH LENDER AGREES TO SAFEGUARD EACH REPORT AND ANY RELATED
DOCUMENTATION WITH THE SAME CARE WHICH IT USES WITH RESPECT TO INFORMATION OF
ITS OWN WHICH IT DOES NOT DESIRE TO DISSEMINATE OR PUBLISH, AND AGREES NOT TO
REPRODUCE OR DISTRIBUTE OR PROVIDE COPIES OF OR DISCLOSE ANY REPORT OR ANY OTHER
RELATED DOCUMENTATION OR ANY RELATED DISCUSSIONS TO ANYONE.

9.3           Set Off and Sharing of Payments.  Subject to Section 9.2(k), in
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by
way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time
to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower (any prior or
contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Lender at any of
its offices for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless
of whether such balances are then due to Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and
(B) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit
or for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on
account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such
right without the prior written consent of Agent.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the failure to give notice of any set off and
application made by such Lender to Borrower shall not affect the validity of
such set off and application.  Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall
purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such
other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause
all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender entitled to
share in the amount so set off in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares.  Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any
Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of
its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such
amount so set off to the Agent for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to share
in the amount so set off in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

9.4           Disbursement of Funds.  Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse
funds to Borrower for any Term Loan requested.  Each Lender shall reimburse
Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent, or if Agent so
requests, each Lender will remit to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan before
Agent disburses same to Borrower.  If Agent elects to require that each Lender
make funds available to Agent prior to a disbursement by Agent to Borrower,
Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advance requested by Borrower no later than noon
(New York time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto, and each such Lender
shall pay Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Loan, in same day
funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account on such Funding Date.  If any Lender
fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share within one (1) Business Day after
Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall

85

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

immediately repay such amount to Agent.  Any repayment required pursuant to this
Section 9.4 shall be without premium or penalty.  Nothing in this Section 9.4 or
elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the
provisions of Section 9.5, shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on
behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent or Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

9.5           Disbursements of Advances; Payment.

(A)           ADVANCES; PAYMENTS.  EACH LENDER SHALL MAKE THE AMOUNT OF SUCH
LENDER’S PRO RATA SHARE OF SUCH ADVANCE AVAILABLE TO AGENT IN SAME DAY FUNDS BY
WIRE TRANSFER TO AGENT’S ACCOUNT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.1(E) NOT LATER THAN
2:00 P.M. (NEW YORK TIME) ON THE REQUESTED FUNDING DATE IN THE CASE OF AN INDEX
RATE LOAN AND NOT LATER THAN 10:00 A.M. (NEW YORK TIME) ON THE REQUESTED FUNDING
DATE IN THE CASE OF A LIBOR LOAN.  AFTER RECEIPT OF SUCH WIRE TRANSFERS (OR, IN
THE AGENT’S SOLE DISCRETION, BEFORE RECEIPT OF SUCH WIRE TRANSFERS), SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS HEREOF, AGENT SHALL MAKE THE REQUESTED ADVANCE TO BORROWER AS
DESIGNATED BY BORROWER IN THE ADVANCE REQUEST.  ALL PAYMENTS BY EACH LENDER
SHALL BE MADE WITHOUT SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR DEDUCTION OF ANY KIND.

(B)           AVAILABILITY OF LENDER’S PRO RATA SHARE.  AGENT MAY ASSUME THAT
EACH LENDER WILL MAKE ITS PRO RATA SHARE OF EACH ADVANCE AVAILABLE TO AGENT ON
EACH FUNDING DATE.  IF SUCH PRO RATA SHARE IS NOT, IN FACT, PAID TO AGENT BY
SUCH LENDER WHEN DUE, AGENT WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER SUCH AMOUNT ON DEMAND
FROM SUCH LENDER WITHOUT SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR DEDUCTION OF ANY KIND.  IF ANY
LENDER FAILS TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF ITS PRO RATA SHARE FORTHWITH UPON AGENT’S
DEMAND, AGENT SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY BORROWER AND BORROWER SHALL IMMEDIATELY
REPAY SUCH AMOUNT TO AGENT.  NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9.5(B) OR ELSEWHERE IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DEEMED TO REQUIRE AGENT TO
ADVANCE FUNDS ON BEHALF OF ANY LENDER OR TO RELIEVE ANY LENDER FROM ITS
OBLIGATION TO FULFILL ITS TERM LOAN COMMITMENT HEREUNDER OR TO PREJUDICE ANY
RIGHTS THAT BORROWER MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY LENDER AS A RESULT OF ANY DEFAULT BY
SUCH LENDER HEREUNDER.  TO THE EXTENT THAT AGENT ADVANCES FUNDS TO BORROWER ON
BEHALF OF ANY LENDER AND IS NOT REIMBURSED THEREFOR ON THE SAME BUSINESS DAY AS
SUCH ADVANCE IS MADE, AGENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN FOR ITS ACCOUNT ALL
INTEREST ACCRUED ON SUCH ADVANCE UNTIL REIMBURSED BY THE APPLICABLE LENDER.

(C)           RETURN OF PAYMENTS.

(I)            IF AGENT PAYS AN AMOUNT TO A LENDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE
BELIEF OR EXPECTATION THAT A RELATED PAYMENT HAS BEEN OR WILL BE RECEIVED BY
AGENT FROM BORROWER AND SUCH RELATED PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED BY AGENT, THEN
AGENT WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER SUCH AMOUNT FROM SUCH LENDER ON DEMAND WITHOUT
SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR DEDUCTION OF ANY KIND.

(II)           IF AGENT DETERMINES AT ANY TIME THAT ANY AMOUNT RECEIVED BY AGENT
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE RETURNED TO ANY LOAN PARTY OR PAID TO ANY OTHER
PERSON PURSUANT TO ANY INSOLVENCY LAW OR OTHERWISE, THEN, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY
OTHER TERM OR CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AGENT WILL
NOT BE REQUIRED TO DISTRIBUTE ANY PORTION THEREOF TO ANY LENDER.  IN ADDITION,
EACH LENDER WILL REPAY TO AGENT ON DEMAND ANY PORTION OF SUCH AMOUNT THAT AGENT
HAS DISTRIBUTED TO SUCH LENDER, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST AT SUCH RATE, IF ANY, AS
AGENT IS REQUIRED TO PAY TO BORROWER OR SUCH OTHER PERSON, WITHOUT SETOFF,
COUNTERCLAIM OR DEDUCTION OF ANY KIND.

(D)           NON-FUNDING LENDERS.  THE FAILURE OF ANY LENDER (A “NON-FUNDING
LENDER”) TO MAKE ANY ADVANCE OR ANY PAYMENT REQUIRED BY IT HEREUNDER SHALL NOT
RELIEVE ANY OTHER LENDER (EACH SUCH OTHER LENDER, AN “OTHER LENDER”) OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE ANY ADVANCE, BUT NEITHER ANY OTHER LENDER

86

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make
any Advance or make any other payment required hereunder.  Notwithstanding
anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have
any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or
constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders”
hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan
Document.

SECTION 10.
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1         Indemnities.

Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay, and hold Agent, each Lender, and their
respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys
(the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims,
costs and expenses from any suits, claims or demands (including all reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel to such Indemnitees) of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnitees being a party to this Agreement or
the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to
any of the Loan Documents or Related Transactions; provided, that Borrower shall
have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the
extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that
Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If and to the
extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason,
Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
thereof which is permissible under applicable law.

10.2         Amendments and Waivers.

(A)           EXCEPT FOR ACTIONS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY AGENT, NO
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, TERMINATION OR WAIVER OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY CONSENT TO ANY DEPARTURE BY ANY
LOAN PARTY THEREFROM, SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS THE SAME SHALL BE
IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY BORROWER, AND BY REQUISITE LENDERS OR ALL AFFECTED
LENDERS, AS APPLICABLE.  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN CLAUSES (B) AND (C) BELOW, ALL
SUCH AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS, TERMINATIONS OR WAIVERS REQUIRING THE CONSENT OF
ANY LENDERS SHALL REQUIRE THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF REQUISITE LENDERS.

(B)           NO AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, TERMINATION OR WAIVER OF OR CONSENT
WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT WAIVES COMPLIANCE WITH THE
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.2 OR SECTION 3.3 TO THE MAKING OF
ANY LOAN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS THE SAME SHALL BE IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY
AGENT, REQUISITE LENDERS AND BORROWER.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN
THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO WAIVER OR CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFAULT
OR ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR PURPOSES OF THE CONDITIONS
PRECEDENT TO THE MAKING OF AN ADVANCE SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.2 OR SECTION 3.3
UNLESS THE SAME SHALL BE IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AGENT, REQUISITE LENDERS AND
BORROWER.

(C)           NO AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, TERMINATION OR WAIVER SHALL, UNLESS IN
WRITING AND SIGNED BY AGENT AND EACH LENDER DIRECTLY AFFECTED THEREBY: 
(I) INCREASE THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, OR POSTPONE OR EXTEND THE SCHEDULED DATE OF
EXPIRATION, OF ANY LENDER’S TERM LOAN COMMITMENT (WHICH ACTION SHALL BE DEEMED
ONLY TO AFFECT THOSE LENDERS WHOSE TERM LOAN COMMITMENT ARE INCREASED OR THE
SCHEDULED DATE OF EXPIRATION OF WHOSE TERM LOAN COMMITMENT ARE POSTPONED OR
EXTENDED AND MAY BE APPROVED BY REQUISITE LENDERS, INCLUDING THOSE LENDERS WHOSE
TERM LOAN COMMITMENT ARE INCREASED OR THE SCHEDULED DATE OF EXPIRATION OF WHOSE
TERM LOAN COMMITMENT ARE POSTPONED OR EXTENDED); (II) REDUCE THE PRINCIPAL OF,
RATE OF INTEREST ON (OTHER THAN ANY DETERMINATION OR WAIVER TO CHARGE OR NOT
CHARGE INTEREST

87

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at the Default Rate) or Fees payable with respect to any Loan of any affected
Lender; (iii) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the
principal amount of any Loan of any affected Lender; (iv) waive, forgive, defer,
extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees as to any affected Lender
(which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders to whom such payments
are made); (v) release any Guaranty or, except as otherwise permitted in Section
6.7 or Section 9.2(h), release Collateral (which action shall be deemed to
directly affect all Lenders); (vi) change the percentage of the Term Loan
Commitment or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan that
shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder (which
action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders); and (vii) amend or waive
this Section 10.2 or the definition of the terms “Requisite Lenders” insofar as
such definitions affect the substance of this Section 10.2 or the term “Pro Rata
Share” (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders). 
Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the
rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
be effective unless in writing and signed by Agent, as the case may be, in
addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action.  Each amendment,
modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No amendment,
modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Agent to take
additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document.  No amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be
effective without the written concurrence of the holder of that Note.  No notice
to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Loan Party or any
other Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.  Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent
effected in accordance with this Section 10.2 shall be binding upon each holder
of the Term Notes at the time outstanding and each future holder of the Term
Notes.

To the address set forth on the signature page hereto or in the applicable
Assignment Agreement

 

10.4         Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure
or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to exercise, nor any partial
exercise of, any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan
Documents shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a
waiver of any Default or Event of Default.  All rights and remedies existing
hereunder or under any other Loan Document are cumulative to and not exclusive
of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.5         Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall
be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the
Obligations.  To the extent that Borrower makes payment(s) or Agent enforces its
Liens or Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment(s)
or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid
by anyone (whether as a result of any demand, litigation, settlement or
otherwise), then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies
therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

10.6         Severability.  The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in
any jurisdiction of any provision under the Loan Documents shall not affect or
impair the remaining provisions in the Loan Documents.

10.7         Lenders’ Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’
Rights.  The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several and not joint and no
Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender
hereunder.  In the event that any Lender at any time should fail to make a Loan
as herein provided, the Lenders, or any of them, at their sole option, may make
the Advance that was to have been made by the Lender so failing to make such
Loan.  Nothing contained in any Loan Document and no action taken by Agent or
any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute Lenders to
be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. 
The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and
independent debt.

10.8         Headings.  Section and subsection headings are included herein for

Agreement that have been approved by Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders,
as applicable (any such Lender demanding such payment or refusing to so consent
being referred to herein as an “Affected Lender”), Borrower may, at its option,
notify Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to do one of the

(I)            BORROWER MAY OBTAIN, AT BORROWER’S EXPENSE, A REPLACEMENT LENDER

BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO AGENT.  IN THE EVENT BORROWER OBTAINS A
REPLACEMENT LENDER THAT WILL PURCHASE ALL OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OWED TO SUCH

DAYS FOLLOWING NOTICE OF BORROWER’S INTENTION TO DO SO, THE AFFECTED LENDER

PREPAY IN FULL ALL OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OWED TO SUCH AFFECTED LENDER
(INCLUDING, IN ANY CASE WHERE SUCH PREPAYMENT OCCURS AS THE RESULT OF A DEMAND
FOR PAYMENT FOR INCREASED COSTS, SUCH AFFECTED LENDER’S INCREASED COSTS FOR
WHICH IT IS ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THROUGH THE DATE OF
SUCH PREPAYMENT), AND TERMINATE SUCH AFFECTED LENDER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE
TERM LOAN COMMITMENT.

(B)           IN THE CASE OF A NON-FUNDING LENDER PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.5(D), AT
BORROWER’S REQUEST, AGENT OR A PERSON ACCEPTABLE TO AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT
WITH AGENT’S CONSENT AND IN AGENT’S SOLE DISCRETION (BUT SHALL HAVE NO
OBLIGATION) TO PURCHASE FROM ANY NON-FUNDING LENDER, AND EACH NON-FUNDING LENDER
AGREES THAT IT SHALL, AT AGENT’S REQUEST, SELL AND ASSIGN TO AGENT OR SUCH
PERSON, ALL OF THE TERM LOAN AND TERM LOAN COMMITMENT OF THAT NON-FUNDING LENDER

(I)            REQUIRING THE CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED LENDERS, THE CONSENT OF
REQUISITE LENDERS IS OBTAINED, BUT THE CONSENT OF OTHER LENDERS WHOSE CONSENT IS

REFERRED TO AS A “NON-CONSENTING LENDER”), OR

(II)           REQUIRING THE CONSENT OF REQUISITE LENDERS, THE CONSENT OF
LENDERS HOLDING 51% OR MORE OF THE AGGREGATE TERM LOAN COMMITMENT IS OBTAINED,
BUT THE CONSENT OF REQUISITE LENDERS IS NOT OBTAINED,

93

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Borrower’s request
Agent, or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent, shall have the right with
Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to
purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree
that they shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person,
all of the Term Loan and Term Loan Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lenders for
an amount equal to the principal balance of the Term Loan held by the
Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and Fees and other Obligations
owing with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to
be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(D)           IF THE MINNESOTA RACING COMMISSION REQUEST THAT ANY LENDER BE
REMOVED AS A LENDER HEREUNDER OR THE AGENT REASONABLY DETERMINES THAT ANY LENDER
BY BEING A PARTY HERETO MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE LICENSING OF THE BORROWER BY,
OR RELATIONSHIP OF THE BORROWER WITH, ANY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY,
THEN, AGENT, OR A PERSON REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO AGENT, SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT
WITH AGENT’S CONSENT AND IN AGENT’S SOLE DISCRETION SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT
SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION) TO PURCHASE FROM SUCH LENDER, AND SUCH LENDER AGREES
THAT IT SHALL, UPON AGENT’S REQUEST, SELL AND ASSIGN TO AGENT OR SUCH PERSON,
ALL OF THE TERM LOAN AND TERM LOAN COMMITMENT OF SUCH LENDER FOR AN AMOUNT EQUAL
TO THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE TERM LOAN HELD BY SUCH LENDER AND ALL ACCRUED

LENDER HEREUNDER AND AGENT DOESN’T, WITHIN FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF A
WRITTEN REQUEST FROM BORROWER TO REPLACE SUCH LENDER, TAKE THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED
ABOVE TO REPLACE SUCH LENDER, BORROWER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THAT SUCH
LENDER SELL AND ASSIGN TO A PERSON REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO AGENT ALL OF THE
TERM LOAN AND TERM LOAN COMMITMENT OF SUCH LENDER FOR AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE
PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE TERM LOAN HELD BY SUCH LENDER AND ALL ACCRUED INTEREST
AND FEES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS OWING WITH RESPECT THERETO THROUGH THE DATE OF
SALE, SUCH PURCHASE AND SALE TO BE CONSUMMATED PURSUANT TO AN EXECUTED
ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT BDCF OR ONE OR MORE OF ITS AFFILIATES OR

BEEN REQUIRED TO BE PAID IF THE PORTION OF THE TERM LOAN AND TERM LOAN
COMMITMENTS BEING ASSIGNED HAD BEEN PAID IN FULL OR OTHERWISE TERMINATED.

liabilities that are indemnified liabilities hereunder, Agent shall deliver to
Borrower termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary
or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the
Obligations.
