hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent

Indebtedness and Funded Debt shall be calculated as follows: (i) if the
Indebtedness of a joint venture is recourse to such Borrower (or Subsidiary),
then the amount of such Indebtedness or Funded Debt that is recourse to such
Borrower (or Subsidiary), without duplication, and (ii) if the Indebtedness of
such joint venture is not recourse to such Borrower (or Subsidiary), then such
Borrower's (or Subsidiary's) pro-rata share of such Indebtedness or Funded Debt
as determined by its percentage interest in the profits and losses of such joint
venture. For purposes of this Section 1.4, Indebtedness of a joint venture that
is recourse to a Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries solely as a result of such
Borrower (or Subsidiary) being a partner or member in such joint venture shall
be treated as not recourse to such Borrower (or Subsidiary) as long as the only
assets owned by such Borrower (or Subsidiary) are its equity interest in such
joint venture and any contributed capital held to fund such equity interest.

         2.1 LOANS.

                  (a) Commitment to Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions
         set forth in this Loan Agreement, each Lender hereby severally and not
         jointly agrees to make a term loan in Dollars (the "TERM LOAN" and
         collectively, the "TERM LOANS") to the Borrowers on the Funding Date,
         in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the principal
         amount of $750,000,000. The aggregate amount of the Loans to be made
         hereunder shall not exceed $750,000,000. The Loans shall be made by the
         Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their then respective Pro
         Rata Share, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for
         any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a
         Loan hereunder nor shall the Loans of any Lender be increased or
         decreased as a result of any such failure. The Term Loan Commitments
         shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Loans are made
         and (ii) January 30, 2006.

                  (b) Method of Borrowing for Loans. By no later than 11:00 a.m.
         three Business Days prior to the Funding Date, the Borrowers shall
         submit an irrevocable written Notice of Borrowing in the form of
         Exhibit 2.1(b) to the Administrative Agent setting forth (i) the amount
         requested, (ii) whether such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or
         Eurodollar Loans, (iii) with respect to Loans that will be Eurodollar
         Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) a certification
         that the Borrowers have complied in all respects with Section 5.1 and
         Section 5.2 and (v) the proposed Funding Date.

                                       26
<PAGE>
                  (c) Funding of Loans. Upon receipt of the Notice of Borrowing,
         the Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders as to the
         terms thereof. Each Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the total
         requested Loans available to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. on
         the Funding Date specified in the Notice of Borrowing by deposit, in
         Dollars, of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at
         its principal office in New York City, New York or at such other
         address as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing. The
         amount of the requested Loans will then be made available to the
         Borrowers by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the
         Borrowers on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent, to
         the extent the amount of the requested Loans are made available to the
         Administrative Agent.

                  No Lender shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any
         other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder; provided,
         however, that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations
         hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations
         hereunder. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by
         any Lender prior to the Funding Date that such Lender does not intend
         to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Loans
         to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
         Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on
         the Funding Date, and the Administrative Agent in reliance upon such
         assumption, may (in its sole discretion but without any obligation to
         do so) make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such
         corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the
         Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover
         such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay
         such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's
         demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
         Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding
         amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also
         be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrowers, as the case
         may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day
         from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the
         Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such corresponding
         amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate
         equal to (i) from the Borrowers at the applicable rate for such Loan
         pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from such Lender at the
         Federal Funds Rate.

                  (d) Continuations and Conversions. The Borrowers shall have
         the option with respect to any Loan, on any Business Day, to continue
         existing Eurodollar Loans for a subsequent Interest Period, to convert
         Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Eurodollar Loans
         into Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that (i) each such
         continuation or conversion must be requested by the Borrowers pursuant
         to a written Notice of Continuation/Conversion, in the form of Exhibit
         2.1(d), in compliance with the terms set forth below, (ii) except as
         provided in Section 3.11, Eurodollar Loans may only be continued or
         converted on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
         (iii) Eurodollar Loans may not be continued nor may Base Rate Loans be
         converted into Eurodollar Loans during the existence and continuation
         of a Default or Event of Default and (iv) any request to continue a


                                       27
<PAGE>
         Eurodollar Loan that fails to comply with the terms hereof or any
         failure to request a continuation of a Eurodollar Loan at the end of an
         Interest Period shall result in a conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to
         a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
         Each continuation or conversion must be requested by the Borrowers no
         later than 11:00 a.m. (A) one Business Day prior to the date for a
         requested conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan or (B)
         three Business Days prior to the date for a requested continuation of a
         Eurodollar Loan or conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan,
         in each case pursuant to a written Notice of Continuation/Conversion
         submitted to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each
         of the Lenders) which shall set forth (x) whether the Borrowers wish to
         continue or convert such Loans and (y) if the request is to continue a
         Eurodollar Loan or convert a Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest
         Period applicable thereto.

                  (e) Minimum Amounts/Restrictions on Loans. Each request for a
         conversion or continuation of a Loan shall be subject to the
         requirements that (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall be in a minimum amount
         of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof
         and (ii) no more than eight Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding at
         any one time. For the purposes of this Section 2.1(e), all Eurodollar
         Loans with the same Interest Periods beginning on the same date shall
         be considered as one Eurodollar Loan, but Eurodollar Loans with
         different Interest Periods, even if they begin or end on the same date,
         shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans.

                  (f) Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by
         a duly executed promissory note of the Borrowers to each Lender in
         substantially the form of Exhibit 2.1(f).

         2.2 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS.

                  (a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several
         liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to
         be provided by the Lenders under this Loan Agreement, for the mutual
         benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in
         consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept
         joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

                  (b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby
         irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but
         also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other
         Borrower with respect to the payment and performance of all of the
         Obligations arising under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
         Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the
         Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the
         Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

                                       28
<PAGE>
                  (c) If and to the extent that either of the Borrowers shall
         fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and
         when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the
         terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make
         such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Each
         Borrower further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation,
         indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the other Borrower for
         amounts so paid under this Credit Agreement until such time as the
         Lenders have been paid in full and all Commitments under this Credit
         Agreement have been terminated.

                  (d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of
         this Section 2.2 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower,
         enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets.

                  (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the
         extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives notice of
         acceptance of its joint and several liability and of all extensions of
         credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders, notice of occurrence of any
         Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly
         required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement), or
         of any presentment or demand for any payment under this Loan Agreement,
         notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative
         Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the obligations
         hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands,
         notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this
         Loan Agreement and the benefit of any laws that exonerate or limit the
         liability of co-borrowers or sureties and any defenses provided by
         those laws. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any
         extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the
         Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver,
         consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or
         the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by either
         Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant,
         condition or provision of this Loan Agreement, any and all other
         indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in
         respect of any of the obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition,
         substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of
         any security for any of such obligations or the addition, substitution
         or release, in whole or in part, of either Borrower. Without limiting
         the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other
         action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the
         Administrative Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any
         failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any
         remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations
         thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.2,
         afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower,
         in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section
         2.2, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of


                                       29
<PAGE>
         the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such
         Borrower under this Section 2.2 shall not be discharged except by
         performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The
         obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.2 shall not be
         diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization,
         arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with
         respect to either Borrower or a Lender. The joint and several liability
         of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect
         notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other
         change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of
         formation of either Borrower or any of the Lenders.

                  (f) The provisions of this Section 2.2 are made for the
         benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be
         enforced by them from time to time against either of the Borrowers as
         often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the
         part of the Lenders first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise
         any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies
         available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other
         source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations
         hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section
         2.2 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been
         paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment,
         or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is
         rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon
         the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either of the
         Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.2 will
         forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not
         been made.

                  (g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
         herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the
         obligations of either Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
         unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of
         any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances
         or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be
         limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law
         (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the
         Bankruptcy Code).

         2.3 APPOINTMENT OF BOP.

         BRT hereby appoints BOP to act as its agent for all purposes under this
Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters
related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans) and agrees that (i) BOP may
execute such documents on behalf of BRT as BOP deems appropriate in its sole
discretion and BRT shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document
executed on its behalf, (ii) any notice or communication delivered by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to BOP shall be deemed delivered to BRT and
(iii) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to
rely on, any document, instrument or agreement executed by BOP on behalf of BRT.

         2.4 NON-RECOURSE.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no recourse shall be
had against any past, present or future shareholder, officer, director or
trustee of BRT for any obligation of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents,
or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof; provided,
however, that this Section 2.4 shall not restrict or limit any claim against any
such Person arising out of or occurring with respect to fraud or any intentional
misrepresentation or any act or omission that is willful or wanton or
constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                                   SECTION 3.

                     GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS

         3.1 INTEREST.

                  (a) Interest Rate. Except as otherwise provided in Section
         3.1(b), all Base Rate Loans shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base
         Rate. All Eurodollar Loans shall accrue interest at the Adjusted
         Eurodollar Rate.

                  (b) Default Rate of Interest. Upon the occurrence, and during
         the continuance, of an Event of Default, the principal of and, to the
         extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts
         owing hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (including without
         limitation fees and expenses) shall bear interest, payable on demand,
         at a per annum rate equal to four percent (4%) plus the rate which
         would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, then the
         rate for Base Rate Loans plus four percent (4%) per annum); provided
         that unless the Loans have been accelerated, interest, including the
         default rate of interest, shall only be due and payable on the Interest
         Payment Dates.

                  (c) Interest Payments. Interest on Loans shall be due and
         payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. If an Interest
         Payment Date falls on a date which is not a Business Day, such Interest
         Payment Date shall be deemed to be the succeeding Business Day, except
         that in the case of Eurodollar Loans where the succeeding Business Day
         falls in the succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date
         shall be the preceding Business Day.

         3.2 PLACE AND MANNER OF PAYMENTS.

         All payments of principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts
to be made by a Borrower under this Loan Agreement shall be made by such
Borrower unconditionally and without deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff and received not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due,
in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at
its offices in New York City, New York. Payments received after such time shall
be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Borrowers shall,
at the time they make any payment under this Loan Agreement, specify to the
Administrative Agent the Loans, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrowers
hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that they
fail to specify, or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms
hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 3.7, distribute such
payment to the Lenders in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem
appropriate). The Administrative Agent will distribute any such payment to the
Lenders on the day received if such payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m.;
otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to the Lenders
on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of
interest and fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the
next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the
next preceding Business Day.

         3.3 PREPAYMENTS.

                  (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right
         to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part from time to time without
         premium or penalty; provided, however, that (i) Eurodollar Loans may
         only be prepaid on three Business Days' prior written notice to the
         Administrative Agent and any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans will be
         subject to Section 3.14, (ii) (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, each
         such partial prepayment shall be in the minimum principal amount of
         $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or (y)
         in the case of Base Rate Loans, each such partial prepayment shall be
         in the minimum principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of
         $100,000 in excess thereof. Amounts pre-paid pursuant to this Section
         3.3(a) may not be reborrowed.

                  (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

                           (i) If at any time after the Closing Date a Change of
                  Control shall occur (the date on which such Change of Control
                  occurs being the "PREPAYMENT DATE"), the Term Loan Commitments
                  shall terminate and reduce to zero and the Borrowers shall
                  immediately prepay the Loans on the Prepayment Date as if the
                  Prepayment Date were the Loan Maturity Date. The Borrowers
                  shall make such prepayment on the Prepayment Date together
                  with all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any unpaid
                  fees and expenses that are due and owing.

                                       32
<PAGE>

                           (ii) If the Borrowers or any Subsidiary receives any
                  Net Offering Proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in
                  an amount equal to the amount of such Net Offering Proceeds on
                  the date such Net Offering Proceeds are received. The
                  Borrowers shall make such prepayment on the date such Net
                  Offering Proceeds are received together with all accrued
                  interest on the amount prepaid and any unpaid fees and
                  expenses that are due and owing.

                  Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) may not be
reborrowed.

                  (c) Application of Prepayments. All amounts paid pursuant to
         Section 3.3(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers. All
         amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and 3.3(b), the application of
         which has not been directed by the Borrowers, shall be applied first to
         Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of
         Interest Period maturities. All prepayments hereunder shall be subject
         to Section 3.14; provided that prepayments required to be made pursuant
         to Section 3.3(b)(i) that repay a Eurodollar Loan within 30 days of the
         last day of its Interest Period shall not be subject to Section 3.14.

         3.4 FACILITY FEE; ADMINISTRATIVE FEES. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the pro-rata benefit of each Lender (based on each
Lender's Pro Rata Share) a facility fee (the "FACILITY FEE") equal to the sum
of: (A) 0.15% of the total outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (if
any) on the date that is 90 days after the Funding Date, which amount shall be
earned and payable on the date that is 90 days after the Funding Date, (B) 0.25%
of the total outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (if any) on the date
that is 180 days after the Funding Date, which amount shall be earned and
payable on the date that is 180 days after the Funding Date, and (C) 0.25% of
the total outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (if any) on the date
that is 270 days after the Funding Date, which amount shall be earned and
payable on the date that is 270 days after the Funding Date.

                  (b) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent,
         for its own account, an annual fee as agreed to between the Borrowers
         and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

         3.5 PAYMENT IN FULL AT MATURITY. On the Loan Maturity Date, the entire
outstanding principal balance of all Loans, together with accrued but unpaid
interest and all other sums owing with respect thereto, shall be due and payable
in full, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2.

                                       33
<PAGE>
         3.6 COMPUTATIONS OF INTEREST AND FEES.

                  (a) Except for Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the
         Prime Rate, which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day
         year as the case may be, all computations of interest and fees
         hereunder shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days
         elapsed over a year of 360 days. Interest shall accrue from and include
         the date of borrowing (or continuation or conversion) but exclude the
         date of payment.

                  (b) It is the intent of the Lenders and the Borrowers to
         conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law
         from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lenders and the
         Borrowers are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which
         shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or
         hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any
         event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or
         acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest
         taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Loan
         Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious
         amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible
         construction of any of the Loan Documents or any other document,
         interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum
         nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the
         provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically
         reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable
         law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new
         document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is
         characterized as interest on the Loans under applicable law and which
         would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum lawful
         amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive
         interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the
         principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest,
         or refunded to the Borrowers or the other payor thereof if and to the
         extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid
         principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans
         or any other indebtedness evidenced by any of the Loan Documents does
         not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise
         accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to
         charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand.
         All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to
         the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
         amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated
         term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the
         amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the
         maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.

         3.7 PRO RATA TREATMENT.

         Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Loans, each payment
or prepayment of principal of any Loan, each payment of fees (other than
administrative fees payable pursuant to Section 3.4, and each conversion or
continuation of any Loan, shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.11)
be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to each Lender's Pro Rata
Share; provided that, if any Lender shall have failed to pay its applicable Pro
Rata Share of any Loan, then any amount to which such Lender would otherwise be
entitled pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall instead be payable to the
Administrative Agent until the share of such Loan not funded by such Lender has
been repaid; provided further, that in the event any amount paid to any Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.7 is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with
interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the
Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such
repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the
date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and
thereafter, at the Base Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum.

         3.8 SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

         The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise
provided herein, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of
any Loan or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Loan Agreement
through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim, or
pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other
security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received
by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
or otherwise, or by any other means (other than in connection with an assignment
pursuant to Section 3.15 or Section 11.3, in excess of its pro rata share of
such payment as provided for in this Loan Agreement, such Lender shall promptly
pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans and
other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to
time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in
accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Loan
Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a
Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff,
banker's lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or
must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of
such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation
theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of
any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment
shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrowers agree that any
Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker's lien or
counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such participation.


                                       35
<PAGE>
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Loan Agreement, if any Lender
shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount
payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant
to this Loan Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall
be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount
is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such
other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a
secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.8 applies, such Lender
shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured
claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section
3.8 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

         3.9 CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

         If, after the date hereof, any Lender has determined that the adoption
or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration
of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or
compliance by such Lender, or its parent corporation, with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's (or parent corporation's)
capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder
to a level below that which such Lender, or its parent corporation, could have
achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's (or parent corporation's) policies with respect to
capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Lender to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or parent
corporation) on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable
deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction.
Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall,
absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                                       36
<PAGE>
         3.10 INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATE.

         If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative
Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic
notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as soon as practicable
thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to the Borrowers and the
Lenders when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (a) any
Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period
shall be made as Base Rate Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been
converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar
Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans. Until such notice
has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans
shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

         3.11 ILLEGALITY.

         Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof
occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make
or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Loan Agreement, (a) such
Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrowers
and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be promptly withdrawn whenever
such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder
to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert a Base
Rate Loan to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time
as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar
Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Base Rate Loan
when a Eurodollar Loan is requested and (c) such Lender's Loans then outstanding
as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans
on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to
such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such
conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to
such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.14;
provided that no such payments shall be required if the conversion of a
Eurodollar Loan occurs within 30 days of the last day of the Interest Period of
such Eurodollar Loan.

         3.12 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

         If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by
any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made
subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender):

                                       37
<PAGE>
                  (a) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind
         whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Loans made by it or its
         obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of
         payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded
         Taxes covered by Section 3.13 (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed
         solely by reason of any failure of such Lender to comply with its
         obligations (if any) under Section 3.13(b)) and changes in taxes
         measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise tax
         (imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or its
         applicable lending office, branch, or any Affiliate thereof);

                  (b) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
         special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets
         held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
         advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other
         acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not
         otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
         hereunder; or

                  (c) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding
         any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in
respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrowers from such
Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrowers
shall be obligated to promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis (after taking
into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount
indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, provided
that, in any such case, the Borrowers may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans
made by such Lender hereunder to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative
Agent at least one Business Day's notice of such election, in which case the
Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication,
such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.14. If any Lender
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12,
it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, through the
Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this
Section 3.12 has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such
event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event
and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably
detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.12 submitted by such
Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers shall be conclusive
and binding on the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

         3.13 TAXES.

                  (a) Except as provided below in this Section 3.13, all
         payments made by the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement and any Notes
         shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
         for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other
         taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
         withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
         assessed by any court, or governmental body, agency or other official,
         excluding taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income of
         any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or Affiliate
         thereof, and all franchise taxes, branch taxes, taxes on doing business
         or taxes on the overall capital or net worth of any Lender or its
         applicable lending office, or any branch or Affiliate thereof, in each
         case imposed in lieu of net income taxes: (i) by the jurisdiction under
         the laws of which such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or
         Affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal
         executive office is located, or any nation within which such
         jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; or (ii)
         by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such tax
         and such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or Affiliate other
         than a connection arising solely from such Lender having executed,
         delivered or performed its obligations, or received payment under or
         enforced, this Loan Agreement or any Notes. If any such non-excluded
         taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
         withholdings ("NON-EXCLUDED TAXES") are required to be withheld from
         any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
         or under any Notes, (A) the amounts so payable to the Administrative
         Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
         yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
         Non-Excluded Taxes) interest on any such other amounts payable
         hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Loan
         Agreement and any Notes, provided, however, that the Borrowers shall be
         entitled to deduct and withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes and shall not be
         required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is not
         organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state
         thereof if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of
         paragraph (b) of this Section 3.13 whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are
         payable by the Borrowers, and (B) as promptly as possible after request
         therefor the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative Agent for its
         own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a
         certified copy of an original official receipt received by the
         Borrowers showing payment thereof. If the Borrowers fail to pay any
         Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail
         to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other
         required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the
         Administrative Agent and any Lender for any incremental taxes, interest
         or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any
         Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this
         subsection shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the
         payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                  withholding tax;

                               (B) deliver to the Borrowers and the

                           such form or certification expires or becomes
                           obsolete and after the occurrence of any event
                           requiring a change in the most recent form previously
                           delivered by it to the Borrowers; and

                           reasonably be requested by the Borrowers or the
                           Administrative Agent; or

                           (ii) in the case of any such Lender that is not a
                  "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
                  Internal Revenue Code, such Lender shall (A) represent to the
                  Borrowers (for the benefit of the Borrowers and the
                  Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the meaning
                  of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B)
                  furnish to the Borrowers, on or before the date of any payment

                  Revenue Service Form W-8, or successor applicable form
                  certifying to such Lender's legal entitlement at the date of

                  recently provided form and, if necessary, obtain any
                  extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrowers or
                  the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such
                  forms), and (C) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do
                  so, upon reasonable request by the Borrowers, to provide to
                  the Borrowers (for the benefit of the Borrowers and the
                  Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably
                  required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such
                  Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to
                  payments under this Loan Agreement and any Notes.

         Notwithstanding the above, if any change in treaty, law or regulation
         has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder
         which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such
         Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect
         to it and such Lender so advises the Borrowers and the Administrative
         Agent then such Lender shall be exempt from such requirements. Each
         Person that shall become a Lender or a participant of a Lender pursuant
         to Section 11.3 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer,
         and if applicable, be required to provide all of the forms,
         certifications and statements required pursuant to this subsection (b);
         provided that in the case of a participant of a Lender, the obligations
         of such participant of a Lender pursuant to this subsection (b) shall
         be determined as if such participant of a Lender were a Lender except
         that such participant of a Lender shall furnish all such required
         forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the
         related participation shall have been purchased.

         3.14 COMPENSATION.

         Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.3(c), the Borrowers promise
to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or
expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default
by the Borrowers in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar Loans after the Borrowers have given a notice requesting the same in
accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, (b) default by the
Borrowers in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after the Borrowers have
given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement
and (c) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans
on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.
Such indemnification shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent and shall
include, without limitation, an amount equal to (i) the amount of interest which
would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or
continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to
borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period
(or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at
the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein
minus (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on


                                       41
<PAGE>
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The agreements in this Section
3.14 shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan made hereunder (as a result of a mandatory
requirement of this Loan Agreement) within thirty (30) days of the end of the
Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loan, shall not be subject to
this Section 3.14.

         3.15 MITIGATION; MANDATORY ASSIGNMENT.

         Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate any
increased cost or suspension of the availability of an interest rate under
Sections 3.9 through 3.14 inclusive to the greatest extent practicable
(including transferring the Loans to another lending office or one of its
Affiliates) unless, in the opinion of such Lender, such efforts would be likely
to have an adverse effect upon it. In the event a Lender makes a request to the
Borrowers for additional payments in accordance with Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11,
3.12, 3.13 or 3.14 or a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, provided that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the
Borrowers may, at their own expense (such expense to include any transfer fee
payable to the Administrative Agent under Section 11.3(b) and any expense
pursuant to Section 3.14), and in their sole discretion, require such Lender to
transfer and assign in whole (but not in part), without recourse (in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.3(b)), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement to an Eligible
Assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a)
such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of
any court or other governmental authority and (b) the Borrowers or such assignee
shall have paid to the assigning Lender in immediately available funds the
principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the portion of
the Loans hereunder held by such assigning Lender and all other amounts owed to
such assigning Lender hereunder, including amounts owed pursuant to Sections 3.9
through 3.14. Notwithstanding such assignment, and without limiting any other
provision of this Loan Agreement, such assigning Lender shall continue to
benefit from the provisions of Sections 3.9, 3.12, 3.13 and 11.5 with respect to
the period before the effectiveness of such assignment.

of, or cause an event of default under, any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust, contract or other agreement or instrument to which it or any of

may be bound, the violation of which would have or would be reasonably expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (d) result in or require the creation of
any Lien upon or with respect to its or its Material Subsidiaries' properties.

         6.6 CONSENTS.

         Except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders that have
been obtained, and filings, registrations and qualifications that have been

<PAGE>
         6.13 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

         Each Combined Party is in compliance with all Requirements of Law and
all other laws, rules, regulations, orders and decrees (including without
limitation Environmental Laws) applicable to it, or to its properties, unless
such failure to comply would not have or would not be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. No Requirement of Law would be reasonably
expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

         6.14 COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA.

         Except as would not result in or be reasonably expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect:

                  (a) During the five-year period prior to the date on which
         this representation is made or deemed made: (i) no ERISA Event has
         occurred, and, to the best of each Borrower's, each Subsidiary of a
         Borrower's and each ERISA Affiliate's knowledge, no event or condition
         has occurred or exists as a result of which any ERISA Event could
         reasonably be expected to occur, with respect to any Plan; (ii) no
         "accumulated funding deficiency," as such term is defined in Section
         302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code, whether or not waived, has
         occurred with respect to any Plan; (iii) each Plan has been maintained,
         operated, and funded in compliance with its own terms and in material
         compliance with the provisions of ERISA, the Code, and any other
         applicable federal or state laws; and (iv) no Lien in favor or the PBGC
         or a Plan has arisen or is reasonably likely to arise on account of any
         Plan.

                  (b) The actuarial present value of all "benefit liabilities"
         (as defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA), whether or not vested,
         under each Single Employer Plan, as of the last annual valuation date
         prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made
         (determined, in each case, in accordance with Financial Accounting
         Standards Board Statement 87, utilizing the actuarial assumptions used
         in such Plan's most recent actuarial valuation report), did not exceed
         as of such valuation date the fair market value of the assets of such
         Plan.

                                       50
<PAGE>
                  (c) No Borrower, Subsidiary of a Borrower or ERISA Affiliate
         has incurred, or, to the best of each such party's knowledge, is
         reasonably expected to incur, any withdrawal liability under ERISA to
         any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan. No Borrower,
         Subsidiary of a Borrower or ERISA Affiliate would become subject to any
         withdrawal liability under ERISA if any such party were to withdraw
         completely from all Multiemployer Plans and Multiple Employer Plans as
         of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this
         representation is made or deemed made. No Borrower, Subsidiary of a
         Borrower or ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that any
         Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization (within the meaning of Section
         4241 of ERISA), is insolvent (within the meaning of Section 4245 of
         ERISA), or has been terminated (within the meaning of Title IV of
         ERISA), and no Multiemployer Plan is, to the best of each such party's
         knowledge, reasonably expected to be in reorganization, insolvent, or
         terminated.

                  (d) No prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section
         406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or breach of fiduciary
         responsibility has occurred with respect to a Plan which has subjected
         or may subject any Borrower, any Subsidiary of a Borrower or any ERISA
         Affiliate to any liability under Sections 406, 409, 502(i), or 502(l)
         of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or under any agreement or other
         instrument pursuant to which any Borrower, any Subsidiary of a Borrower
         or any ERISA Affiliate has agreed or is required to indemnify any
         person against any such liability.

                  (e) No Borrower, Subsidiary of a Borrower or ERISA Affiliate
         has material liability with respect to "expected post-retirement
         benefit obligations" within the meaning of the Financial Accounting
         Standards Board Statement 106. Each Plan which is a welfare plan (as
         defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) to which Sections 601-609 of ERISA
         and Section 4980B of the Code apply has been administered in compliance
         in all material respects with such sections.

         6.15 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE/SUBSIDIARIES.

         As of the Funding Date (after giving effect to the Acquisition), (a)
Schedule 6.15 is a complete and accurate organization chart of the Combined
Parties, and (b) no Borrower has any Subsidiaries or owns an interest, directly
or indirectly, in any joint venture, except as set forth on Schedule 6.15. The
outstanding equity interest of all Subsidiaries of the Borrowers are validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Borrowers free and
clear of all Liens. Schedule 6.15 shall be updated as of the end of each fiscal
quarter as set forth in Section 7.1(c). Each owner of an Unencumbered Property,
Unencumbered Construction-in-Process or Unencumbered Eligible Land is either a
Loan Party or an Eligible Subsidiary.

         6.16 USE OF PROCEEDS; MARGIN STOCK.

         The proceeds of the Loans will be used solely for the purposes
specified in Section 7.10. None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used in a
manner that would violate Regulation U, Regulation X, or Regulation T. No
proceeds of the Loans will be used for the acquisition of another Person unless
the board of directors (or other comparable governing body) or stockholders (or
other equity owners), as appropriate, of such Person has approved such
acquisition.

         6.17 GOVERNMENT REGULATION.

         No Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries, is subject to regulation
under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Interstate Commerce Act, each as amended.
No director, executive officer or principal shareholder of a Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries is a director, executive officer or principal shareholder of
any Lender. For the purposes hereof the terms "director," "executive officer"
and "principal shareholder" (when used with reference to any Lender) have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in Regulation O.

                  Properties are in material compliance with all applicable
                  Environmental Laws, and there is no violation of any
                  Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the
                  businesses operated by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
                  (the "Businesses"), and there are no conditions relating to
                  the Businesses or Properties that would be reasonably expected
                  to give rise to liability under any applicable Environmental
                  Laws.

                           (ii) No Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries, has
                  received any written notice of, or inquiry from any
                  Governmental Authority regarding, any violation, alleged
                  violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability
                  regarding Hazardous Materials or compliance with Environmental
                  Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Businesses,
                  nor does any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have
                  knowledge that any such notice is being threatened.

                           (iii) Hazardous Materials have not been transported
                  or disposed of from the Properties, or generated, treated,
                  stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties or
                  any other location, in each case by, or on behalf or with the
                  permission of, any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in a
                  manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to
                  liability under any applicable Environmental Law.

<PAGE>
                           (iv) No judicial proceeding or governmental or
                  administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of any

                  constitute or constituted a violation of, or could give rise
                  to liability under, Environmental Laws.

                           (vii) No Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries, has

Default or Event of Default would exist after giving effect to the disposition
of such Unencumbered Property) or (ii) would have a Material Adverse Effect.

becomes the owner (or ground lessee under an Eligible Ground Lease) of Property
that the Borrowers determine to treat as an Unencumbered Property, Unencumbered
Eligible Land or Unencumbered Construction-in-Process and is not an Eligible
Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent and promptly
thereafter (but in any event within 30 days after such event) such Subsidiary
shall: (a) execute a Guaranty in substantially the form of Exhibit 7.12 and (b)
deliver such other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation,
information regarding the real property owned by such Person, certified

and favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall cover, among other
things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the
documentation referred to above), all in form, content and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that in
the event any Subsidiary provides a Guaranty hereunder, it may also guaranty

HEDGES" shall mean interest rate exchange, collar, cap, swap, adjustable strike
cap, adjustable strike corridor or similar agreements having terms, conditions
and tenors that are reasonably customary for borrowers such as the Borrowers and
entered into by the Borrowers in order to provide protection to, or minimize the
impact upon, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of increasing floating rates
of interest applicable to the Funded Debt.

the Administrative Agent written notice of such action, together with a
certification as to compliance with the terms of this Loan Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 7.2 (on a Pro Forma Basis), after giving effect to
such action prepared and executed by the chief financial officer or chief

                  (c) Other Indebtedness as long as, prior to and after giving
         effect thereto, the Borrowers are otherwise in compliance with the
         terms of this Loan Agreement;

         provided that the Borrowers shall not permit any Subsidiary of a
Borrower that is the owner (or ground-lessee) of a Property that is treated as
an Unencumbered Property, an Unencumbered Construction-in-Process or
Unencumbered Eligible Land under this Agreement to contract, create, incur,
assume or permit to exist any Recourse Indebtedness, unless such Subsidiary
becomes a Guarantor hereunder as required pursuant to Section 7.12.

         8.2 LIENS.

         No Borrower will, nor will it permit any of its Material Subsidiaries
to, contract, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien with respect to
any of its Properties or any other assets of any kind (whether real or personal,
tangible or intangible), whether now owned or after acquired, except for
Permitted Liens.

         8.3 NATURE OF BUSINESS.

         No Borrower will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, alter

         No Borrower will, nor will it permit any of its Material Subsidiaries
to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation or liquidate, wind up
or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution); provided that
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4, (a) (i) any Person
may merge into a Borrower in a transaction in which such Borrower is the
surviving Person; (ii) any Person may merge into any Material Subsidiary in a
transaction in which the surviving entity is a Material Subsidiary; and (iii)
any Material Subsidiary may sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its
assets to a Borrower or to another Material Subsidiary; provided that in each
case the Borrowers execute and deliver such documents, instruments and
certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and after giving
effect thereto no Default or Event of Default exists; (b) upon prior written
notification to the Administrative Agent, any Material Subsidiary of a Borrower
may be dissolved or liquidated so long as (1) after giving effect thereto no
Default or Event of Default exists, (2) any transfer of assets in connection
therewith to a Person that is not a Material Subsidiary shall be subject to
Section 7.15, if applicable, and (3) the Borrowers shall execute and deliver
such documents, instruments and certificates as the Administrative Agent may

         8.5 SALE OR LEASE OF ASSETS.

                  (a) No Property may be conveyed, sold, leased, transferred or
         otherwise disposed of unless the Borrowers comply with Section 7.15 (if
         applicable) and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of
         Default exists.

                  (b) No equity interest in any Guarantor or Eligible
         Unencumbered Property Subsidiary may be conveyed, sold, transferred or
         otherwise disposed of unless the Borrowers comply with Section 7.15 (if
         applicable) and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of
         Default exists. Upon the disposition of an equity interest in a
         Guarantor in conformance with the terms hereof, if after the
         disposition of such equity interest such Guarantor no longer qualifies
         as the owner of any Unencumbered Properties the Lenders agree to
         release such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, and the Lenders
         hereby consent to the Administrative Agent executing and delivering
         such releases as necessary to give effect to such agreement.

membership or partnership interests; provided that BOP may pay dividends or make
distributions in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (i)
90% of Funds From Operations earned subsequent to September 30, 2005 or (ii) the
minimum amount necessary for BRT to maintain its status as a REIT.

         8.8 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

         No Borrower will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter
into any transaction or series of transactions, whether or not in the ordinary
course of business, with any officer, director, trustee, shareholder, Subsidiary
or Affiliate other than on terms and conditions substantially as favorable as
would be obtainable in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person other
than an officer, director, trustee, shareholder, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

         No Borrower will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (a)
change its fiscal year or (b) change its articles or certificate of
incorporation, its bylaws, its declaration of trust, its limited liability
company agreement, its articles or certificate of partnership or partnership
agreement or any other organization or formation documents in any manner that

permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of
any kind on the ability of any such Person to pay any Indebtedness owed to the
Borrowers; provided that a Subsidiary of a Borrower (which is not itself a Loan
Party) that obtains financing may agree with the provider of such financing to
restrict repayments of Indebtedness owing to the Borrowers.

         8.11 OTHER NEGATIVE PLEDGES.

         The Borrowers will not, and will not permit any of their Material
Subsidiaries to, enter into, assume or become subject to any agreement
prohibiting or otherwise restricting the creation or assumption of any Lien upon
its properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or requiring
the grant of any security for such obligation if security is given for some
other obligation, other than (i) as provided under the Loan Documents, Revolving
Credit Facility and the Interim Facility (if entered into), (ii) restrictions on
Secured Indebtedness and Unsecured Indebtedness set forth in the Indenture and

         full force and effect or any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall
         so assert or any Loan Document shall fail to give the Administrative
         Agent and/or the Lenders the security interests, liens, rights, powers

         (iii) any Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall
         commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
         or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the
         entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law,

         Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing,
         securing or relating thereto, or any other event or condition shall
         occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or

         Recourse Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holders)
         to cause (determined without regard to whether any notice or lapse of
         time is required) any such Recourse Indebtedness to become due prior to
         its stated maturity; or (ii) any such Recourse Indebtedness shall be

         $75,000,000, a default in payment (whether by acceleration or
         otherwise) shall occur and such payment default is not cured or waived

                  (h) ERISA Events. The occurrence of any of the following
         events or conditions, unless such event or occurrence would not have or

         favor of the PBGC or a Plan; (2) an ERISA Event shall occur with

         of ERISA, or (ii) a Borrower, any Subsidiary of a Borrower or any ERISA
         Affiliate incurring any liability in connection with a withdrawal from,

         ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or breach of fiduciary
         responsibility shall occur which may subject a Borrower, any Subsidiary
         of a Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to any liability under Sections
         406, 409, 502(i), or 502(l) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or

         9.2 ACCELERATION; REMEDIES.

         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter
unless and until such Event of Default has been waived in writing by the
Required Lenders (or the Lenders as may be required hereunder), the
Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and direction of the Required
Lenders, by written notice to the Borrowers, take any of the following actions
without prejudice to the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
enforce its claims against the Borrowers, except as otherwise specifically
provided for herein:

                  (a) Termination of Term Loan Commitments. Declare the Term
         Loan Commitments terminated whereupon the Term Loan Commitments shall
         be immediately terminated.

                  (b) Acceleration of Loans. Declare the unpaid principal of and
         any accrued interest in respect of all Loans and any and all other
         indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind owing by a Borrower
         to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall be
         immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or
         other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the
         Borrowers.

                  (c) Enforcement of Rights. Enforce any and all rights and
         interests created and existing under the Loan Documents, including,
         without limitation, all rights and remedies against a Guarantor and all
         rights of set-off.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in
Section 9.1(e) shall occur, then the Term Loan Commitments shall automatically
terminate and all Loans, all accrued interest in respect thereof, all accrued
and unpaid fees and all other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Lenders
hereunder shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any
notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, which notice
or other action is expressly waived by the Borrowers.

         Notwithstanding the fact that enforcement powers reside primarily with
the Administrative Agent, each Lender has, to the extent permitted by law, a
separate right of payment and shall be considered a separate "creditor" holding
a separate "claim" within the meaning of Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code
or any other insolvency statute.

         9.3 ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Loan Agreement, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts
collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of
amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall be paid over or
delivered as follows:

                                       70
<PAGE>
                  FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
         and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees)
         of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of
         the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

                  SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative
         Agent;

                  THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
         and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
         fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights
         under the Loan Documents;

                  FOURTH, to the payment of all accrued fees and interest
         payable to the Lenders hereunder;

                  FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of
         the Loans;

                  SIXTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due
         and payable under the Loan Documents and not repaid pursuant to clauses
         "FIRST" through "FIFTH" above; and

                  SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may
         be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category; and (b) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal
to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans
held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans) of amounts
available to be applied pursuant to clauses "THIRD", "FOURTH," "FIFTH," and
"SIXTH" above.

                                  SECTION 10.

                                AGENCY PROVISIONS

         10.1 APPOINTMENT.

         Each Lender hereby designates and appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as

provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms
hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein
and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or shall
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section
are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and none
of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party
beneficiary of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties
under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be
deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or
for any Borrowers or their Subsidiaries.

         10.2 DELEGATION OF DUTIES.

         The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable
care.

         10.3 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS.

         No Agent-Related Person shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully
taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in
connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for such Person's own
gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any
of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries contained herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial
statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or
received by an Agent-Related Person under or in connection herewith or in
connection with the other Loan Documents, or the enforceability or sufficiency
of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of
the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries to perform their obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender for the
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or
sufficiency of this Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for
any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein
or made by the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries in any written or oral statement
or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or
any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by an
Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries to an Agent-Related Person or any Lender or be required to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or
as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books
or records of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries. No Agent-Related Person is a
trustee for the Lenders or owes any fiduciary duty to the Lenders.

         10.4 RELIANCE ON COMMUNICATIONS.

         The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document or conversation 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 (including, without
limitation, counsel to any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with
reasonable care). The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the
owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of
assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.3(b). The Administrative
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Loan Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, to the
extent provided in Section 11.6, all of the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense (other than any liability or expense resulting from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent) which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
The Agent-Related Persons shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in
accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically
provided in Section 11.6, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders
(including their successors and assigns).

         10.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULT.

         The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring
to the applicable Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent provided in Section 11.6,
all of the Lenders).

         10.6 NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

         Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any
Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any
Borrower or its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation
or warranty by any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender. Each Lender
represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and
creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and made its own
decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Loan Agreement. Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Loan Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and
other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required
to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no
Agent-Related Person shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness
of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of
any Agent-Related Person.

         10.7 INDEMNIFICATION.

         The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent-Related Person (to the extent
not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time
following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out
of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in
connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related
Person. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose
shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease,
or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional
indemnity (except against its gross negligence or willful misconduct) is
furnished. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the
Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.

         10.8 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

         The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as though the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect
to the Loans made and all obligations owing to it, the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Loan
Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

         10.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT.

         The Administrative Agent (a) may, at any time, resign upon 20 days
written notice to the Lenders or (b) may be removed for willful misconduct or
gross negligence by written notice from the Required Lenders; provided that no
consent of the Borrowers shall be required during the existence and continuation
of an Event of Default. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. In the
case of the Administrative Agent's resignation or removal, if no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 45 days after the notice of
resignation or removal, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall select a
successor Administrative Agent provided such successor is a Lender hereunder or
an Eligible Assignee. If no such successor shall have been appointed by the
Administrative Agent, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 45 days
after such notice of resignation, such notice shall nevertheless become
effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, if any, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations as the Administrative Agent, as appropriate, under
this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this
Section 10.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Loan Agreement.

                                   SECTION 11.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1 NOTICES.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other
communications shall have been duly given and shall be effective (a) when
delivered, (b) when transmitted via telecopy (or other facsimile device), (c)
the Business Day following the day on which the same has been delivered prepaid
or on an invoice arrangement to a reputable national overnight air courier
service, or (d) the third Business Day following the day on which the same is
sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, in each case to the
respective parties at the address or telecopy numbers set forth on Schedule
11.1, or at such other address or numbers as such party may specify by written
notice to the other parties hereto.

         11.2 RIGHT OF SET-OFF.

         In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law
or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and the commencement of remedies described in
Section 9.2, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of which
rights being hereby expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and apply
any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time
held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies
or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the
account of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries against obligations and liabilities
of such Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, under the Notes, the other Loan
Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations,
liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any
such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books
of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Borrowers hereby agree that any Person
purchasing a participation in the Loans hereunder pursuant to Section 11.3(c) or
3.8 may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation
interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder.

         11.3 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.

                  (a) Generally. This Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and
         inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors
         and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that none of the Borrowers
         may assign and transfer any of its interests, rights or obligations
         under any Loan Document (except as permitted by Sections 8.4 or 8.5)
         without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders (and any
         attempt at such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be
         null and void); and provided further that the rights of each Lender to


                                       76
<PAGE>
         transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or
         obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in subsections (b)
         and (c) of this Section 11.3. Notwithstanding the above (including
         anything set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 11.3),
         nothing herein shall restrict, prevent or prohibit any Lender from (A)
         pledging or assigning a security interest in its rights hereunder or
         under its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender,
         including any pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank in support
         of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank;
         provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from
         any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
         assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, or (B) granting assignments
         or participations in such Lender's Loans hereunder to its parent
         company and/or to any Affiliate of such Lender or to any existing
         Lender or Affiliate thereof.

                  (b) Assignments. In addition to the assignments permitted by
         Section 11.3(a), each Lender may, with the prior written consent of the
         Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (provided that no consent of the
         Borrowers shall be required during the existence and continuation of an
         Event of Default), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
         delayed, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations
         hereunder pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form
         of Exhibit 11.3 to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (i)
         any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of
         $5,000,000 of the Loans and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 above
         such amount (or the remaining amount of Loans held by such Lender) and
         (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, not varying,
         percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
         under the Loans being assigned. Any assignment hereunder shall be
         effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth above and
         delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly executed assignment
         agreement together with a transfer fee of $3,500 payable to the
         Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon the effectiveness of any
         such assignment, the assignee shall become a "Lender" for all purposes
         of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the extent
         of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
         obligations hereunder to the extent of the Loans being assigned. The
         Borrowers agree that upon notice of any assignment to an assignee that
         was not theretofore a Lender, they will promptly provide to such
         assignee a new Note. Each Lender agrees that, in the event it assigns
         all of its Loans hereunder, it shall promptly return the Note or
         Note(s) executed by the Borrowers in its favor.

                  By executing and delivering an assignment agreement in
         accordance with this Section 11.3(b), the assigning Lender thereunder
         and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree
         with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such
         assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of
         the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim
         and the assignee warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except
         as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no
         representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect
         to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in
         connection with this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or
         any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto,
         or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
         sufficiency or value of this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan
         Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto
         or thereto or the financial condition of any Borrower or its
         Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any
         of its obligations under this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan
         Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto
         or thereto; (iii) such assigning Lender and such assignee each
         represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into
         such assignment agreement; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has
         received a copy of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
         such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to
         make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such assignment
         agreement; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance
         upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other
         Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
         appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
         taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement and the other
         Loan Documents; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the
         Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise
         such powers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document as are
         delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
         together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and
         (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with
         their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Loan
         Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by
         it as a Lender.

                  (c) Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of,
         or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell, transfer
         or grant participations in all or any part of such Lender's interests
         and obligations hereunder; provided that (i) such selling Lender shall
         remain a "Lender" for all purposes under this Loan Agreement (such
         selling Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents remaining
         unchanged), the participant shall not constitute a Lender hereunder,
         and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
         continue to deal with such selling Lender, and (ii) no such participant
         shall have, or be granted, rights to approve any amendment or waiver
         relating to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents except to
         the extent any such amendment or waiver would (A) reduce the principal
         of or rate of interest on or fees in respect of any Loans in which the
         participant is participating, or (B) postpone the date fixed for any
         payment of principal (including the extension of the final maturity of


                                       78
<PAGE>
         any Loan or the date of any mandatory prepayment, other than pursuant
         to Section 3.5), interest or fees in which the participant is
         participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant
         shall not have any rights under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan
         Documents (the participant's rights against the selling Lender in
         respect of such participation to be those set forth in the
         participation agreement with such Lender creating such participation)
         and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined
         as if such Lender had not sold such participation; provided, however,
         that such participant shall be entitled to receive additional amounts
         under Sections 3.9, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 to the same extent that the
         Lender from which such participant acquired its participation would be
         entitled to the benefit of such cost protection provisions.

                  (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the
         Administrative Agent's office at the Agency Services Address a copy of
         each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the
         recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal
         amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
         from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall
         be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the
         Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name
         is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
         hereunder for all purposes of this Loan Agreement, notwithstanding
         notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection
         by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
         to time upon reasonable prior notice.

         11.4 NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

         No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or
under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The
rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise
have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any
Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.

         11.5 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

         The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to: (a) pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i) each Agent-Related Person in connection
with (A) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery, syndication and
administration of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
documents and instruments referred to therein (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and expenses of Bingham McCutchen LLP, special counsel to
the Administrative Agent) and (B) any amendment, waiver or consent relating
hereto and thereto including, but not limited to, any such amendments, waivers
or consents resulting from or related to any work-out, renegotiation or
restructure relating to the performance by the Borrowers under this Loan
Agreement, and (ii) the Agent-Related Persons and the Lenders in connection with
(A) enforcement of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred
to herein and therein, including, without limitation, in connection with any
such enforcement, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Agent-Related Persons and each of the Lenders, and (B) any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (b)
indemnify the Agent-Related Persons, each Lender and its officers, directors,
employees, representatives, Affiliates and agents from and hold each of them
harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses
incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related
to, or by reason of, any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether
or not any Agent-Related Person or any Lender is a party thereto) related to (i)
the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of proceeds
of any Loans or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in any
Loan Document, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Person to be indemnified),
(ii) any Environmental Claim and (iii) any claims for Non-Excluded Taxes.

         11.6 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

         Neither this Loan Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any of the
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or
terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in
writing and signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers; provided that no
such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby:

                  (a) extend the final maturity of any Loan or any portion
         thereof or postpone any other date fixed for any payment of principal;

<PAGE>
                  (b) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
         (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any
         post-default increase in interest rates) thereon or fees hereunder;

                  (c) reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan;

                  (d) change the Loans of a Lender from the amount thereof in
         effect, other than pursuant to an assignment permitted under Sections
         3.5 or 11.3(b) (it being further understood and agreed that a waiver of
         any Default or Event of Default or a waiver of any mandatory reduction
         in the Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Loans of
         any Lender);

                  (e) release either Borrower from its obligations, or release
         all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations,
         under the Loan Documents; provided that the Administrative Agent may
         release a Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.5 or in accordance
         with Section 11.19;

                  (f) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.6
         or Section 9.1(a) or any provision of any Loan Document which, by its
         express terms, requires the consent, approval, agreement or
         satisfaction of all of the Lenders;

                  (g) reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify,
         the definition of Required Lenders; or

                  (h) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of
         any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan
         Documents other than any assignment or transfer by a Guarantor
         permitted under this Loan Agreement.

If any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the Loan Documents has been
delivered in writing to a Lender by the Administrative Agent, and such
amendment, waiver or consent requires only the approval of the Required Lenders
to become effective, then such Lender shall have ten Business Days from the date
of receipt of such amendment, waiver or consent to respond thereto. Failure of a
Lender to timely respond to such amendment, waiver or consent shall be deemed an
approval by such Lender of such amendment, waiver or consent.

No provision of Section 10 may be amended or modified without the consent of the
Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in
certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as
such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each
Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the
Required Lenders may consent to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the
context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

         11.7 COUNTERPARTS/TELECOPY.

         This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of executed counterparts
by telecopy shall be as effective as an original and shall constitute a
representation that an original will be delivered.

         11.8 HEADINGS.

         The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for
convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of
any provision of this Loan Agreement.

         11.9 DEFAULTING LENDER.

         Each Lender understands and agrees that if such Lender is a Defaulting
Lender then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.6 it shall not be
entitled to vote on any matter requiring the consent of the Required Lenders or
to object to any matter requiring the consent of all the Lenders; provided,
however, that all other benefits and obligations under the Loan Documents shall
apply to such Defaulting Lender.

         11.10 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION AND REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         All indemnities set forth herein and all representations and warranties
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement, the

         11.11 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION.

                  (a) THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE
         RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE
         GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
         OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect
         to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the
         courts of the State of New York in New York County, or of the United
         States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and
         delivery of this Loan Agreement, each Borrower hereby irrevocably
         accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
         unconditionally, the jurisdiction of such courts. Each Borrower further
         irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the
         aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing
         of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to
         it at the address for notices pursuant to Section 11.1, such service to


                                       82
<PAGE>
         become effective 15 days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall
         affect the right of a Lender to serve process in any other manner
         permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise
         proceed against a Borrower in any other jurisdiction. Each Borrower
         agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be
         conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
         judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided that nothing
         in this Section 11.11(a) is intended to impair a Borrower's right under
         applicable law to appeal or seek a stay of any judgment.

                  (b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection
         which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the
         aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with
         this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document in the courts referred
         to in subsection (a) hereof and hereby further irrevocably waives and
         agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or
         proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
         inconvenient forum.

         11.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

         EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

         11.13 TIME.

         All references to time herein shall be references to Eastern Standard
Time or Eastern Daylight Time, as the case may be, unless specified otherwise.

         11.14 SEVERABILITY.

         If any provision of any of the Loan Documents is determined to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and
the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be
construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions.

         11.15 ENTIRETY.

         This Loan Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represent
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment
letters or correspondence relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated herein and therein.

         11.16 BINDING EFFECT.

                  (a) This Loan Agreement shall become effective at such time as
         all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied or
         waived by the Lenders and it shall have been executed by the Borrowers
         and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have
         received copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise) which, when taken
         together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter this Loan
         Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
         Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their
         respective successors and assigns.

                  (b) This Loan Agreement shall be a continuing agreement and
         shall remain in full force and effect until all Loans, interest, fees
         and other Obligations have been paid in full. Upon termination, the
         Borrowers shall have no further obligations (other than the
         indemnification provisions that survive) under the Loan Documents;
         provided that should any payment, in whole or in part, of the
         Obligations be rescinded or otherwise required to be restored or
         returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a result
         of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, then
         the Loan Documents shall automatically be reinstated and all amounts
         required to be restored or returned and all costs and expenses incurred
         by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection therewith shall
         be deemed included as part of the Obligations.

         11.17 CONFIDENTIALITY.

         Each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to keep
confidential and to cause any representative designated under Section 7.11 to
keep confidential any non-public information from time to time supplied to it
under any Loan Document; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent
the disclosure of any such information to (a) the extent a Lender in good faith
believes such disclosure is required by Requirement of Law, (b) counsel for a
Lender or to its accountants and other advisors, (c) bank examiners, auditors or
comparable Persons or any regulatory body having jurisdiction over a Lender, (d)
any Affiliate of a Lender, (e) any other Lender, or any assignee, transferee or
participant, or, subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, (i) any potential assignee, transferee or
participant, of all or any portion of any Lender's rights under this Loan
Agreement who is notified of the confidential nature of the information or (ii)
any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (f) any
other Person in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the
Lenders is a party or (g) any other Person to whom disclosure of such
information a Lender believes is necessary or appropriate in its reasonable
judgment in connection with the exercise of remedies or enforcement of rights
hereunder; and provided further that no Lender shall have any obligation under
this Section 11.17 to the extent any such information becomes available on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower or its Subsidiaries
or that any information becomes publicly available other than by a breach of
this Section 11.17.

         11.18 FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         The Borrowers agree, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to
promptly take such actions as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         11.19 RELEASE OF GUARANTORS.

         If a Guarantor no longer qualifies as the owner of Unencumbered
Properties or becomes an Eligible Subsidiary, then, as long as no Default or
Event of Default exists after giving effect to such event, the Lenders agree to
release such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

         11.20 USA PATRIOT ACT.

         Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender
to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

         11.21 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.

         Each Borrower waives any right to assert or make any claim against any
Lender, or the Administrative Agent for (or to sue any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent upon any claim for) any special, indirect, incidental,
punitive or consequential damages in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct
(whether the claim is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law) in
connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Loan Agreement,
any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
any act, omission or event in connection therewith.
