following manner:

     

                                            (i)     First,
the Administrative Agent shall determine the amount by which (a) the total
amount of interest which would have otherwise accrued hereunder on each
installment of principal prepaid or not so drawn, during the period beginning on
the date of such prepayment or failure to draw and ending on the last day of the
applicable LIBOR Rate Loan Interest Period (the "Reemployment Period"), exceeds
(b) the total amount of interest which would accrue, during the Reemployment
Period, on any readily marketable bond or other obligation of the United States
of America designated by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion at or
about the time of such payment, such bond or other obligation of the United
States of America to be in an amount equal (as nearly as may be) to the amount
of principal so paid or not drawn after elected and to have maturity at the end
of the Reemployment Period, and the interest to accrue thereon to take account
of amortization of any discount from par or accretion of premium above par at
which the same is selling at the time of designation.  Each such
amount is hereinafter referred to as an "Installment Amount".

     

                                            (ii)     Second,
each Installment Amount shall be treated as payable on the last day of the LIBOR
Rate Loan Interest Period which would have been applicable had such principal
installment not been prepaid or not borrowed.

     

                                            (iii)     Third,
the amount to be paid on each such breakage date shall be the present value of
the Installment Amount determined by discounting the amount thereof from the
date on which such Installment Amount is to be treated as payable, at the same
yield to maturity as that payable upon the bond or other obligation of the
United States of America designated as aforesaid by the Administrative
Agent.

     

                                                         If
by reason of an Event of Default the Administrative Agent elects to declare a
LIBOR Rate Loan to be immediately due and payable, then any breakage fee with
respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan shall become due and payable in the same manner
as though the Borrowers had exercised such right of prepayment.

     

                        LIBOR Business
Day.  Any day on which commercial banks are open for
international business (including dealings in Dollar deposits) in London or such
other eurodollar interbank market as may be selected by the Administrative Agent
in its sole discretion acting in good faith.

     

                        LIBOR
Rate.  For any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate
Loan, the rate of interest equal to (i) the rate determined by the
Administrative Agent at which Dollar deposits for such Interest Period are
offered based on information presented on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any
successor thereto) that displays an average British Bankers Association Interest
Settlement Rate for deposits in Dollars (for delivery on the first day of such
Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period, as of 11:00
a.m. London time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of such
Interest Period divided by
(ii) a number equal to 1.00 minus the
Eurocurrency Reserve Rate.  If the rate described above does not
appear on the Telerate screen on any applicable interest determination date, the
LIBOR Rate shall be the rate (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point), determined
on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in Dollars for a period of time
comparable to such LIBOR Rate Loan which are offered by four major banks in the
London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, on the second
LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of such Interest Period as selected by
the Administrative Agent.  The principal London office of each of the
four major London banks will be requested to provide a quotation of its Dollar
deposit offered rate.  If at least two such quotations are provided,
the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the
quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested,
the rate for that date will be determined on the basis of the rates quoted for
loans in Dollars to leading European banks for a period of time comparable to
such Interest Period offered by major banks in New York City at approximately
11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the
first day of such Interest Period.  In the event that the
Administrative Agent is unable to obtain any such quotation as provided above,
it will be considered that the LIBOR Rate pursuant to a LIBOR Rate Loan cannot
be determined.

     

                        In
the event that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall impose
a reserve requirement with respect to LIBOR deposits of the Lenders, then for
any period during which such reserve requirement shall apply, the LIBOR Rate
shall be equal to the amount determined above divided by an amount
equal to one (1.00) minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Rate.

Loans.

     

                        (a)     Commitment to Lend Revolving
Credit Loans.  Subject to the provisions of §2.4 and the other
terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement, each of the Lenders
severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers and the Borrowers may borrow, repay,
and reborrow from each Lender from time to time during the Availability Period
upon notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent given in
accordance with §2.4 hereof, such sums as are requested by the Borrower
Representative up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after
giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the L/C Obligations; provided that the sum
of (x) the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, (after giving
effect to all amounts requested) plus (y) all L/C Obligations, shall not at any
time exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect at such
time.

     

                        (b)     The
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.  Each request for a Revolving
Credit Loan made pursuant to §2.4 hereof, shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in §11 have been
satisfied as of the Restatement Date, and that the conditions set forth in §12
have been satisfied on the date of such request and will be satisfied on the
proposed Drawdown Date of the requested Revolving Credit Loan, provided that the
making of such representation and warranty by the Borrowers shall not limit the
right of any Lender not to lend if such conditions have not been
met.  No Revolving Credit Loan shall be required to be made by any
Lender unless all of the conditions contained in §11 have been satisfied as of
the Restatement Date, and all of the conditions set forth in §12 have been met
at the time of any request for a Revolving Credit Loan.

Notes.  The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by the
Revolving Credit Notes.  A Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to
the order of each Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment.  The Borrowers irrevocably authorize each
Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of
any Revolving Credit Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal
on such Lender's Revolving Credit Notes, an appropriate notation on such
Lender's Revolving Credit Note Record reflecting the making of such Revolving
Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.  The
outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such Lender's
Revolving Credit Note Record shall be prima facie evidence
of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure
to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender's
Revolving Credit Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations
of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments
of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when
due.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of any Lender as to
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Revolving Credit Note or any
other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any
such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of
such Revolving Credit Note or other security document, the Borrowers will issue,
in lieu thereof, a replacement Revolving Credit Note or other security document
in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, at least two (2) Business Days prior to
the proposed Drawdown Date for such Revolving Credit Loan.

     

                                  (ii)     Each
Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request shall be delivered by the Borrower
Representative to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
any Business Day, and at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed
Drawdown Date of any Base Rate Loan, and at least four (4) Business Days prior
to the proposed Drawdown Date of any LIBOR Rate Loan.

     

                                  (iii)     Each
Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request shall include a completed writing in the
form of Exhibit
C hereto specifying:  (1) the principal amount of the Revolving

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

     

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

     

                        (b)     both
before and after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Loan to be made pursuant
to the Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request, all of the conditions contained
in §11 shall have been satisfied as of the Restatement Date, and all of the
conditions set forth in §12 shall have been met, including, without limitation,
the condition under §12.1 that there be no Default or Event of Default under
this Credit Agreement; and

     

                        (c)     the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto
signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower
Representative setting forth computations evidencing compliance with the
covenants contained in §§10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.11 on a pro forma basis after
giving effect to such requested Revolving Credit Loan, and, certifying that,
both before and after giving effect to such requested Revolving Credit Loan, no
Default or Event of Default exists or will exist under this Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document, and that after taking into account such requested
Revolving Credit Loan, no default will exist as of the Drawdown Date or
thereafter.

     

                                  (v)     The
Administrative Agent will use good faith efforts to cause the Completed
Revolving Credit Loan Request to be delivered to each Lender in accordance with
§15.12 and in any event on the same day or the Business Day following the day a
Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request is received by the Administrative
Agent.

     

                        §2.5.     Conversion
Options.

     

                        (a)     The
Borrowers may elect from time to time by written notice in the form of Exhibit F to convert
any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another
Type, provided
that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate
Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent at least
four (4) Business Days prior written notice of such election; (ii) with respect
to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower
Representative shall give the Administrative Agent at least four (4) LIBOR
Business Days prior written notice of such election; (iii) with respect to any
such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, such conversion
shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto
unless the Borrowers pay the related LIBOR Breakage Costs at the time of such
conversion and (iv) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate
Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of
any Type may be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type as
provided herein, provided that any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof.  Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base
Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the
Borrowers.

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

     

                        (c)     In
the event that the Borrower Representative does not notify the Administrative
Agent of its election hereunder with respect to the continuation of any
Revolving Credit Loan which is a LIBOR Rate Loan as such, the affected LIBOR
Rate Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the
applicable Interest Period.

     

                        (d)     The
Borrowers may not request or elect a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to §2.4, elect to
convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(a), or elect to
continue a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(b) if, after giving effect thereto,
there would be greater than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding
(including both Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loan).  Any Completed
Revolving Loan Request for a LIBOR Rate Loan that would create greater than
eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be a Completed
Revolving Loan Request for a Base Rate Loan.

     

                        (e)     The
Administrative Agent will use good faith efforts to cause any notice of
continuation or conversion delivered under this §2.5 to be delivered to each
Lender in accordance with §15.12 and in any event on the same day or the
Business Day following the day such notice is received by the Administrative
Agent.

     

                        §2.6.     Funds for Revolving Credit
Loans.

     

                        (a)     Subject
to the other provisions of this §2, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan, each of the
Lenders will make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative
Agent's Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Revolving
Credit Loan; provided that each
Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent not to
make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any requested
Revolving Credit Loan as soon as possible after receipt of any Completed
Revolving Credit Loan Request, and in any event not later than 4:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on (x) the Business Day prior to the Drawdown Date of any
requested Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and (y) the third
Business Day prior to the Drawdown Date of any requested Revolving Credit Loan
that is a LIBOR Rate Loan.  Upon receipt from each Lender of such
amount, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrowers in the
Borrower Representative's account with the Administrative Agent the aggregate
amount of such Revolving Credit Loan made available to the Administrative Agent
by the Lenders.  All such funds received by the Administrative Agent
by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day will be made available to
the Borrowers not later than 2:00 p.m. on the same Business
Day.  Funds received after such time will be made available by not
later than 12:00
p.m. on the next Business Day.  The failure or refusal of any Lender
to make available to the Administrative Agent at the aforesaid time and place on
any Drawdown Date the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of
the requested Revolving Credit Loan shall not relieve any other Lender from its
several obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent the
amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving
Credit Loan but in no event shall the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) have any obligation to make any funding or shall any
Lender be obligated to fund more than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage
of the requested Revolving Credit Loan or to increase its Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage on account of such failure or otherwise.

     

                        (b)     The
Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Lender prior to
a Drawdown Date, assume that such Lender has made available to the
Administrative Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Lender's Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made on such
Drawdown Date, and the Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required
to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a
corresponding amount.  If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product
of (i) the average, computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below,
of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for
federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent during each day included in
such period, multiplied by (ii)
the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such
Revolving Credit Loan, multiplied by (iii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed from and
including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan shall
become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of
which is 360.  A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to
such Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be
prima facie evidence of the
amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent by such Lender.  If
the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such
Revolving Credit Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such
Lender within three (3) Business Days following such Drawdown Date, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrowers
on demand, with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the
Revolving Credit Loans made on such Drawdown Date.

     

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

     

                        §2.8.     Optional Repayments of
Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrowers shall have the right, at
their election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans,
in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided that the
outstanding amount of any Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans may
not be prepaid unless the

     


    
      
         


      

      
        20

         


      

      
         


      

    


    Borrowers
pay any LIBOR Breakage Costs for each LIBOR Rate Loan so prepaid at the time of
such prepayment.  The Borrower Representative shall give the
Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least two
(2) Business Days' prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §2.8
of any Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and at least four (4)
LIBOR Business Days' notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §2.8 of
Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date
of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and the principal amount to be
prepaid.  Each such partial prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans
shall be in an amount of $2,000,000 or integral multiple of $500,000 in excess
thereof, or, if less, the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans then
being repaid, shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on
all Revolving Credit Loans so prepaid and of all accrued interest on the
principal prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied, in the absence
of instruction by the Borrower Representative, first to the principal of
Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of
Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans, at the Administrative Agent's
option.

     

                        §2.9.     Mandatory Repayments of
Revolving Credit Loans.  If at any time the sum of the
outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and all L/C Obligations exceeds
the lesser of (i) Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the maximum amount
that permits compliance with the terms of §10 hereof, the Borrowers shall
immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent for
application:  first, to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; second,
to the Revolving Credit Loans (first to Base Rate Loans, then to LIBOR Rate
Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities); and third, to provide to
the Administrative Agent cash collateral for Reimbursement Obligations as
contemplated by §5.6(b) and (c).  Each payment of any Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations, or prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be
allocated among the Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to each
L/C Obligation, or (as the case may be) the respective unpaid principal amount
of each Lender's Revolving Credit Note, with adjustments to the extent
practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in
proportion.

     

                        §2.10.     Optional Extension of
Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date.  The Borrowers may on one
(1) occasion, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given at least
ninety (90) days but no more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
the then scheduled Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, extend such Revolving
Credit Loan Maturity Date for an additional one (1) year period, provided that
(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at
the time of such notice or such extension, (b) all of the representations
and warranties of the Borrowers contained in §7 of this Credit Agreement and in
any other Loan Document (other than representations and warranties which
expressly speak as of a different date) shall be true and correct in all
material respects at the time of such request and at the time of such extension,
and (c) that simultaneously with the giving of such notice, the Borrowers shall
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an extension
fee equal to 0.25% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then
outstanding.

     

                        §2.11.     Increase of Commitment to
Lend. Unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative
Agent at any time within 2 years following the Restatement Date, that the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment be increased by an amount less than or equal to
$50,000,000 (such
that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall at no time exceed $175,000,000)
in aggregate minimum amounts of $25,000,000; provided that
(a) the maturity date of such increase shall be no earlier than the
Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, (b) the Borrower Representative shall
have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto
signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower
Representative setting forth computations evidencing compliance with the
covenants contained in §§10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.11 on a pro forma basis after
giving effect to such requested increase (and assuming the full utilization of
the increased Total Revolving Credit Commitment), and, certifying that, both
before and after giving effect to such requested increase, no Default or Event
of Default exists or will exist under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and that after taking into account such requested increase, no default
will exist as of the effective date of such increase or thereafter,
(c) such increase shall be on the same terms and conditions applicable to
this Credit Agreement, (d) any Lender which is a party to this Credit
Agreement prior to such request for such increase, at its sole discretion, may
elect to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment but shall not have any
obligation to so increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, and (e) in the
event that each Lender does not elect to increase its Revolving Credit
Commitment, the Lead Arranger shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
locate additional lenders, subject to the Borrowers' approval of such lenders
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) willing to hold commitments for
the requested increase.  In the event that Lenders commit to such
increase, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Lender shall be
increased (or, in the case of a new lender not previously party hereto, added to
the Revolving Credit Commitments), (ii) the pro rata share of each of the
Lenders shall be adjusted subject to the payment of any LIBOR Breakage Costs,
(iii) new Revolving Credit Notes shall be issued, (iv) the Borrowers shall
make such borrowings and repayments as shall be necessary to effect the
reallocation of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and (v) other changes shall be
made by way of supplement, amendment or restatement of any of the Loan Documents
as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by
which Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Revolving Credit
Commitments or any other lenders have agreed to make new commitments pursuant to
this §2.11 (including the modification of Schedule 1.2 to
reflect the increase), in each case notwithstanding anything in §26 to the
contrary, without the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders increasing
their Revolving Credit Commitments (it being understood that the Administrative
Agent shall execute any such supplement, amendment or restatement as may be
reasonably requested by the Borrowers and necessary or desirable in connection
with an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment permitted pursuant to this
§2.11).  The fees payable by the Borrowers upon such increase in the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be agreed upon by the Lead Arranger and the
Borrowers at the time of such increase.

     

              Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this §2.11 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute
an agreement by any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment
hereunder.

     

              §3.     THE TERM LOAN
FACILITY.

     

                        §3.1.     Commitment to Lend.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement, each of
the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers on the Restatement Date an
amount equal to such Lender's Term Commitment set forth opposite such
Lender's
name on Schedule
1.2 hereto.  The entire amount of the Term Loan shall be
borrowed on the Restatement Date.

     

                        §3.2.     The Term Notes. The
Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Notes.  A Term Note shall be
payable to the order of each Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to
such Lender's Term Commitment.  The Borrowers irrevocably authorize
each Lender to make or cause to be made at or about the time of such Lender's
receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender's Term Note an appropriate
notation on such Lender's Term Note of the receipt of such
payment.  The outstanding amount of the Term Loan set forth on such
Lender's Term Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the
principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to
record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender's Term Note
Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder or under any Term Note to make payments of principal of or interest on
any Term Note when due.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of
any Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Term Note or
any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of
any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of such Term Note or other security document, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu
thereof, a replacement Term Note or other security document in the same
principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

     

                        §3.3.     Interest on Term
Loan.

     

                        (a)     Except
as otherwise provided in §4.10, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan shall
bear interest during each Interest Period relating to all or any portion of the
Term Loan at the following rates:

     

                                  (i)     To
the extent that all or any portion of the Term Loan bears interest during such
Interest Period at the Base Rate, the Term Loan or such portion shall bear
interest during such Interest Period at a rate equal to the Base Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Loans which are Base Rate
Loans.

     

                                  (ii)     To
the extent that all or any portion of the Term Loan bears interest during such
Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate, the Term Loan or such portion shall bear
interest during such Interest Period at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Loans which are LIBOR Rate
Loans.

     

                        (b)     Interest
Payments.  The Borrowers jointly and severally unconditionally
promise to pay interest on the Term Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date with respect thereto.

     

                        §3.4.     Conversion Options.
The provisions of §2.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect
to all or any portion of the Term Loan so that the Borrowers may have the same
interest rate options with respect to all or any portion of the Term Loan as
they would be entitled to with respect to the Revolving Credit
Loans.

     

                        §3.5.     Repayment of the Term Loan
at Maturity. The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on the
Term Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the
Term Maturity Date, all unpaid principal of the Term Loan outstanding on such
date,
together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any and all
other unpaid amounts due under this Credit Agreement, the Term Notes or any
other of the Loan Documents in respect of the Term Loan.

     

                        §3.6.     Optional Repayments of Term
Loan. The Borrowers shall have the right, at their election, to prepay
the outstanding amount of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, subject to (a) the
Borrower Representative having given at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent of such prepayment, and (b) the payment,
simultaneously with such prepayment, of LIBOR Breakage Costs for the Term Loan
to the extent that it is a LIBOR Rate Loan.  Each such partial
prepayment of the Term Loan shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or integral
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, shall be accompanied by the
payment of all charges outstanding on the Term Loan and of all accrued interest
on the principal of the Term Loan prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be
applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower Representative, first to
the principal of the Term Loan to the extent that it is a Base Rate Loan and
then to the principal of the Term Loan to the extent that it is a LIBOR Rate
Loan, at the Administrative Agent's option.  No amount of the Term
Loan that is prepaid may be re-borrowed.

     

              §4.     CERTAIN GENERAL
PROVISIONS.

     

                        §4.1.     Fees.  The
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent an
administration fee (the "Administration Fee") and an upfront fee (the "Upfront
Fee"), and the other fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lead
Arranger, in each case as set forth in that certain letter agreement dated as of
April 22, 2008, between the Borrower Representative and M&T Bank (the
"Fee Letter") and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentages as further set forth in the definition thereof, the Facility
Fee.

     

                        §4.2.     Funds for
Payments.

     

                        (a)     All
payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the respective accounts of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the
Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Head Office, in each case in
Dollars and in immediately available funds.

     

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

     

                        (c)     Each
Foreign Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due
to it hereunder, it will deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may
be, certifying in each case that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Credit Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes.  Each Foreign Lender that so delivers a Form W-8BEN or Form
W­8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to
each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two further
copies of Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or successor applicable form, or other
manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such
letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the
Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or
renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower Representative
and the Administrative Agent, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or Form
W-8ECI that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this
Credit Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including,
without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior
to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders
all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Foreign Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Foreign
Lender advises the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent that it
is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of
United States federal income tax.

     

                        (d)     The
Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Foreign
Lender in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to §4.2(b)
to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United
States federal withholding tax existed on the date such Foreign Lender became a
party to this Credit Agreement or, with respect to payments to a different
lending office designated by the Foreign Lender as its applicable lending office
(a "New Lending Office"), the date such Foreign Lender designated such New
Lending Office with respect to the Loans; provided, however,
that this clause (i) shall not apply to any transferee or New Lending Office as
a result of an assignment, transfer or designation made at the request of the
Borrowers; and provided further, however,
that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or
additional amounts any transferee, or Lender through a New Lending Office, would
be entitled to receive without regard to this clause (i) do not exceed the
indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment or
transfer to such transferee, or Lender making the designation of such New
Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such
assignment, transfer or designation; or (ii) the obligation to pay such
additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign
Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (c) above.

                        §4.3.     Computations. All
computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable
shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days
elapsed; provided, however, interest on
Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as
applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.  Except as
otherwise provided in the definition of the term "Interest Period" with respect
to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest
shall accrue during such extension.  The outstanding amount of the
Loans as reflected on the Note Records from time to time shall constitute prima
facie evidence of the principal amount thereof absent manifest error; but the
failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such
Lender's Term Note Record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder or under any Term Note to make payments of principal of and interest
on any Term Note when due.

     

                        §4.4.     Inability to Determine LIBOR
Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the
LIBOR Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable
to any LIBOR Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent
shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrowers) to the Borrower Representative and the
Lenders.  In such event (a) any Completed Revolving Credit Loan
Request with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and
shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan
will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period thereof,
become a Base Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR
Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent reasonably
determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower
Representative and the Lenders.

     

                        §4.5.     Illegality.  Notwithstanding
any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or
directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful
for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith
give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower Representative and the other
Lenders and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans
or convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and
(b) such Lender's Commitment Percentage of LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding
shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier
period as may be required by law, all until such time as it is no longer
unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans.  The
Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to promptly pay the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in
making any conversion required by this §4.5 prior to the last day of an Interest
Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan, including any interest or fees payable
by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain
its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

                        (c)     impose
or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided
for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, reserve,
assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether
or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for
the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender,
or

     

                        (d)     impose
on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or requirements
with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of
Credit, the Loans, such Lender's Commitments, or any class of loans, or
commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender's Commitments form a
part;

     

    and
the result of any of the foregoing is

     

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

     

                                  (ii)     to
reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other
amount payable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account
of such Lender's Commitments or any of the Loans, or

     

                                  (iii)     to
require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make any payment or to forego
any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the
amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or
other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable
or deemed received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers
hereunder, then,
and in each such case, the Borrowers will, within thirty (30) days of demand
made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent at any time
and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as such Lender shall determine in good faith
to be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional cost, reduction,
payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum,
provided that
such Lender is generally imposing similar charges on its other similarly
situated borrowers.

     

                        §4.7.     Capital
Adequacy.  If after the date hereof any Lender or the
Administrative Agent determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law,
governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank
holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by
a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii)
compliance by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any Person controlling
such Lender or the Administrative Agent with any law, governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such Person regarding capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing
the return on such Lender's or the Administrative Agent's Commitments with
respect to any Loans to a level below that which such Lender or the
Administrative Agent could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Administrative
Agent's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming
full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender
or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent to be material, then such
Lender or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower Representative of
such fact.  To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the
return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay such Lender or (as the case may be)
the Administrative Agent for the amount of such reduction in the return on
capital as and when such reduction is determined within thirty (30) days of
presentation by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent of
a certificate in accordance with §4.8 hereof.  Each Lender shall
allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an
equitable basis.

     

                        §4.8.     Certificate.  A
certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §§4.5, 4.6
or 4.7 and a brief explanation of such amounts (including the calculation
thereof) which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
the Borrower Representative, shall be prima facie evidence that
such amounts are due and owing.

     

                        §4.9.     Indemnity.  In
addition to the other provisions of this Credit Agreement regarding such
matters, but without duplication to the extent a Lender has been compensated
pursuant thereto, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and to hold the Administrative Agent and
each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss
of anticipated profits) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may sustain
or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by the Borrowers to pay any
principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and
payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees
payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to lenders of funds obtained
by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, (b) the failure by the
Borrowers to make a borrowing or conversion after the Borrowers have given a
Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Conversion
Request for a LIBOR Rate Loan, and (c) the making of any payment of a LIBOR Rate
Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a
day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect
thereto, including interest or fees payable by the Administrative Agent or a
Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such LIBOR
Rate Loans.

                        §4.10.     Interest During Event of
Default; Late Charges.  During the continuance of an Event of
Default, outstanding principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, including,
without limitation, any fees applicable to Letters of Credit, or under any of
the other Loan Documents shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two
percent (2%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be applicable until
such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before
judgment).  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay on demand a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of principal and/or interest
charges on the Loans which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when
due.

     

                        §4.11.     Concerning Joint and Several
Liability of the Borrowers.

     

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

     

                        (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 Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance
of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations
arising under this §4.11), 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.

     

                        (c)     If
and to the extent that any 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 Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such
Obligation.

     

                        (d)     The
Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this §4.11
constitute full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers enforceable
against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Credit
Agreement or any other circumstance whatsoever.

     

                        (e)     Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, each of the Borrowers
hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of
any Loans made under this Credit Agreement, notice of any action at any time
taken or omitted by the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations,
and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices
and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit
Agreement.  Each of the Borrowers 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 payment of any of the Obligations, the
acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action
or acquiescence by the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by
any of the Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant,
condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences
whatsoever by the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking,
addition, substitution or release, in whole
or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or
the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any of the
Borrowers.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of
the Borrowers assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act
on the part of the Lenders with respect to the failure by any of the Borrowers
to comply with any of its respective Obligations, 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 §4.11, afford grounds for terminating,
discharging or relieving any of the Borrowers, in whole or in part, from any of
its Obligations under this §4.11, it being the intention of each of the
Borrowers that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied,
the Obligations of such Borrowers under this §4.11 shall not be discharged
except by performance and then only to the extent of such
performance.  The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under this
§4.11 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up,
reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, re-construction or similar proceeding
with respect to any of the Borrowers or the Lenders.  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 any of
the Borrowers or the Lenders.

     

                        (f)     The
provisions of this §4.11 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their
successors and assigns, and may be enforced against any or all of the Borrowers
as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of
the Lenders first to marshal any of their claims or to exercise any of their
rights against any other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to them
against any 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 §4.11 shall remain in effect until all
of 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 any
of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this §4.11 will forthwith be
reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

     

                        §4.12.     Interest
Limitation.  All agreements between the Borrowers and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on
the other hand, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event
whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Loans or
otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use
or the forbearance of the Loans exceed the maximum permissible under applicable
law.  As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean the law in
effect as of the date hereof; provided, however that in the
event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of
interest, then this Credit Agreement and other Loan Document shall be governed
by such new law as of its effective date.  In this regard, it is
expressly agreed that it is the intent of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in the execution, delivery and
acceptance of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in
strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in
effect.  If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment
of any provision hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents at the time of
performance of such provision shall involve transcending the limit of such
validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall
automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from
any circumstances
whatsoever any Lender should ever receive as interest any amount which would
exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans and not
to the payment of interest.  This provision shall control every other
provision of all agreements between the Borrowers and the Guarantors and the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

     

                        §4.13.     Reasonable Efforts to
Mitigate.  Each Lender agrees that as promptly as practicable
after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a
condition that would cause it to be affected under §§4.5, 4.6 or 4.7, such
Lender will give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, with a copy to
the Administrative Agent and, to the extent so requested by the Borrower
Representative and not inconsistent with regulatory policies applicable to such
Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts and take such actions as are
reasonably appropriate (including the changing of its lending office or branch)
if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required
to be paid to such Lender pursuant to such sections would be reduced other than
for de minimus amounts, or the illegality or other adverse circumstances which
would otherwise require a conversion of such Loans or result in the inability to
make such Loans pursuant to such sections would cease to exist, and in each case
if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the taking such actions
would not adversely affect such Loans.

    


                        §4.14.     Replacement of
Lenders.  If any Lender (an "Affected Lender") (i) makes demand
upon the Borrowers for (or if the Borrowers are otherwise required to pay)
amounts pursuant to §§4.5, 4.6 or 4.7, (ii) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR
Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in §4.5, or (iii) does not vote
in favor of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Credit Agreement
which, pursuant to §26, requires the vote of all of the Lenders, and the
Required Lenders shall have voted in favor of such amendment, modification or
waiver, the Borrower Representative may, within 90 days of receipt of such
demand, notice or vote (or the occurrence of such other event causing the
Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing §4.5 to be
applicable or failure to obtain unanimous consent or approval required by §26)
as the case may be, by notice (a "Replacement Notice") in writing to the
Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender (A) request the Affected Lender to
cooperate with the Borrowers in obtaining a replacement lender satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (the "Replacement Lender"); (B)
request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected
Lender's Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment as provided herein, but none of
such Lenders shall be under an obligation to do so; or (C) designate a
Replacement Lender which is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent other than when an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and absolutely satisfactory to the Administrative Agent when an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  If any satisfactory
Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or any of the non-Affected Lenders
shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Loans and
Revolving Credit Commitment, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in
accordance with §19, all of its Revolving Credit Commitment, Loans, Letter of
Credit Participations, Notes and other rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Replacement Lender or
non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the
principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so
assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected
Lender; provided, however, that (x)
such assignment shall be in accordance with the provisions of §19, shall be
without recourse, representation
or warranty and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such
Affected Lender and such Replacement Lender and/or non-Affected Lenders, as the
case may be, and (y) prior to any such assignment, the Borrowers shall have paid
to such Affected Lender all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed under
§§4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.9.

    


              §5.     LETTERS OF
CREDIT.

    


                        §5.1.     Commitment to Issue Letters
of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the
execution and delivery by the Borrowers of a letter of credit application on the
Administrative Agent's customary form (a "Letter of Credit Application"), the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and in reliance upon the agreement
of the Lenders set forth in §5.1(d) and upon the representations and warranties
of the Borrowers contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue,
extend and renew for the account of the Borrowers one or more standby letters of
credit (individually, a "Letter of Credit"), in such form as may be requested
from time to time by the Borrowers and agreed to by the Administrative Agent;
provided, however, that, at all
times, after giving effect to such request, (a) the sum of the aggregate Maximum
Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed
$15,000,000 at any one time, and (b) the sum of (i) all L/C Obligations, and
(ii) the amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding shall not exceed the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment at any time.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit to support or secure any Indebtedness of the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred prior to the
proposed issuance date of such Letter of Credit, unless in any such case the
Borrowers demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that (x)
such prior incurred Indebtedness was then fully secured by a prior perfected and
unavoidable security interest in collateral provided by the Borrowers or such
Subsidiary to the proposed beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or (y) such
prior incurred Indebtedness was then secured or supported by a letter of credit
issued for the account of the Borrowers or such Subsidiary and the reimbursement
obligation with respect to such letter of credit was fully secured by a prior
perfected and unavoidable security interest in collateral provided to the issuer
of such letter of credit by the Borrowers or such Subsidiary.

    


                        §5.2.     Letter of Credit
Applications.  Each Letter of Credit Application shall be
completed to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.  In the
event that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application shall be
inconsistent with any provision of this Credit Agreement, then the provisions of
this Credit Agreement shall, to the extent of any such inconsistency,
govern.

    


                        §5.3.     Terms of Letters of
Credit.  Each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed
hereunder shall, among other things, (a) provide for the payment of sight
drafts for honor thereunder when presented in accordance with the terms thereof
and when accompanied by the documents described therein, and (b) have an
expiry date of the earlier of (i) the date one (1) year from its date of
issuance and (ii) the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving
Credit Loan Maturity Date.  Each Letter of Credit so issued, extended
or renewed shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication
No. 600 or any successor version thereto adopted by the Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of its business as a letter of credit

    issuer
and in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit (the "Uniform
Customs") or, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, either the Uniform
Customs or the International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of
Commerce Publication No. 590, or any successor code of standby letter of credit
practices among banks adopted by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course
of its business as a standby letter of credit issuer and in effect at the time
of issuance of such Letter of Credit.

    


                        §5.4.     Reimbursement Obligations of
Lenders.  Each Lender severally agrees that it shall be
absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such
Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the Administrative
Agent on demand for the amount of each draft paid by the Administrative Agent
under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by
the Borrowers pursuant to §5.6 (such agreement for a Lender being called herein
the "Letter of Credit Participation" of such Lender).

    


                        §5.5.     Participations of
Lenders.  Each payment made by a Lender pursuant to §5.4 above
shall be treated as the purchase by such Lender of a participating interest in
the Borrowers' Reimbursement Obligation under §5.6 in an amount equal to such
payment.  Each Lender shall share in accordance with its participating
interest in any interest which accrues pursuant to §5.6.

    


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

    


                        (a)     except
as otherwise expressly provided in §5.6(b), on each date that any draft
presented under such Letter of Credit is honored by the Administrative Agent, or
the Administrative Agent otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, (i) the
amount paid by the Administrative Agent under or with respect to such Letter of
Credit, and (ii) the amount of any taxes, fees, charges or other costs and
expenses whatsoever incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with any payment made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit (it being understood that such
payment to the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth herein, be made from the proceeds of a Revolving Credit
Loan made to the Borrowers pursuant to §2.4);

    


                        (b)     upon
the reduction (but not termination) of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment to
an amount less than the Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, an
amount equal to such difference, which amount shall be held by the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent as cash collateral for all L/C Obligations;
and

    


                        (c)     upon
the termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, or the acceleration of
the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in
accordance with §13, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all
Letters of Credit, which
amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for all Reimbursement
Obligations.

    


    Each
such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent's Head Office in immediately available funds or (in the case of clause (a)
of this §5.6) from the direct application of the proceeds of a Revolving Credit
Loan made pursuant to §2.4 hereof.  In the event that the obligations
of the Borrowers under §5.6(a) can not, in compliance with the provisions of
this Credit Agreement, be satisfied in full by the making of a Revolving Credit
Loan pursuant to §2.4, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers,
in which case the obligations of the Borrowers under §5.6(a) shall be
immediately due and payable to the Administrative Agent.  Interest on
any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrowers under this §5.6 at any
time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in
this §5.6, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before
or after judgment) shall be payable to the Administrative Agent on demand at the
rate then in effect for overdue principal on the Revolving Credit
Loans.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document to the contrary, all amounts payable by the Borrowers
under this §5.6 as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default under
§13.1(g) or (h) shall automatically become due and payable by the Borrowers
without any notice or demand by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
other Person.

    


                        §5.7.     Letter of Credit
Payments.  If any draft shall be presented or other demand for
payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrowers of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for
payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor such
demand for payment.  If the Borrowers fail to reimburse the
Administrative Agent as provided in §5.6 on or before the date that such draft
is paid or other payment is made by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent may at any time thereafter notify the Lenders of the amount of any such
Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation.  No later than 3:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the Business Day next following the receipt of such notice, each Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's
Head Office, in immediately available funds, such Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, together with an
amount equal to the product of (a) the average, computed for the period referred
to in clause (c) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the
Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent
during each day included in such period, times (b) the amount
equal to such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation, times (c) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the
date the Administrative Agent paid the draft presented for honor or otherwise
made payment to the date on which such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall become immediately
available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is
360.  The responsibility of the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers
and the Lenders shall be only to determine that the documents (including each
draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment
shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of
Credit.

    


                        §5.8.     Obligations Absolute.
The Borrowers' obligations under this §5 shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of
any
Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrowers may have or have had
against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit.  The Borrowers further agree with the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be
responsible for, and the Borrowers' Reimbursement Obligations under §5.6 shall
not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents
or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between
or among the Borrowers, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing
institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or
any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrowers against the beneficiary of
any Letter of Credit or any such transferee.  The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or
delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit.  The Borrowers
agree that any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and
documents, if done in good faith, shall be binding upon the Borrowers and shall
not result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to the Borrowers.

    


                        §5.9.     Reliance by Issuer.
To the extent not inconsistent with §5.8, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of
Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement,
order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement
unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required
Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to
its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement
in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the
Lenders and all future holders of the Revolving Credit Notes or of a Letter of
Credit Participation.

    


                        §5.10.     Letter of Credit
Fees. The Borrowers shall pay a fee, quarterly in arrears on the first
Business Day of the following quarter (a "Letter of Credit Fee"), to the
Administrative Agent in respect of each Letter of Credit an amount equal to the
product of (i) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are LIBOR
Rate Loans and (ii) the face amount of such Letter of Credit.  The
Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the accounts of the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.  The
Borrowers shall pay a fee, quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of the
following quarter following the date of issuance or any extension or renewal of
any Letter of Credit, equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of
the face amount of each Letter of Credit solely for the account of the
Administrative Agent, as a fronting fee.  In respect of each Letter of
Credit, the Borrowers shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the
Administrative Agent's own account,
at such other time or times as such charges are customarily made by the
Administrative Agent, including the Administrative Agent's customary issuance,
amendment, negotiation or document examination and other administrative fees as
in effect from time to time.

    


              §6.     GUARANTIES. Each of
the Guarantors will jointly and severally guaranty all of the Obligations
pursuant to its Guaranty.  The Obligations are full recourse
obligations of each Borrower and each Guarantor, and all of the respective
assets and properties of each Borrower and each Guarantor shall be available for
the payment in full in cash and performance of the Obligations.  Other
than during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, at the request
of the Borrower Representative, the Guaranty of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall
be released by the Administrative Agent if and when all of the Real Estate owned
by such Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be Unencumbered Properties pursuant
to the terms of this Credit Agreement.  The Administrative Agent will
use good faith efforts to cause notice of the addition or release of any
Guarantor to be delivered to each Lender in accordance with §15.12 and in any
event on the same day or the Business Day following the day such notice is
received by the Administrative Agent.

    


              §7.     REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. Each of the Borrowers, for itself and for each of the other
Borrowers and for each Guarantor insofar as any such statements relate to such

any jurisdiction from any Partially-Owned Entity, and the officers of the
Borrowers know of no basis for any such claim.

Act.  None of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their
respective Subsidiaries is an "investment company", or an "affiliated company"
or a "principal underwriter" of an "investment company", as such terms are
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

    


                        §7.13.     Absence of UCC Financing
Statements, Etc.  Except for Permitted Liens, there will be no
financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage,
equipment lease, financing lease, option, encumbrance or other document filed or
recorded with any filing records, registry, or other public office, that
purports to cover, affect or give notice of any present or possible future lien
or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any Unencumbered
Property.  Neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor has pledged or
granted any lien on or security interest in or otherwise encumbered or
transferred any of their respective interests in any Subsidiary (including in
the case of Sovran, its interests in SALP, and in the case of any Borrower, its
interests in the Operating Subsidiaries) or in any Partially-Owned
Entity.

    


                        §7.14.     Absence of Liens. A
Borrower or a Guarantor is the owner of the Unencumbered Properties free from
any lien, security interest, encumbrance and any other claim or demand, except
for Permitted Liens.

    


                        §7.15.     Certain Transactions.
Except as set forth on Schedule 7.15, none
of the officers, partners, directors, or employees of any Borrower or any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is presently a party to any
transaction with any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the
furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
partner, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, partner,
director, or any such employee or natural Person related to such officer,
partner, director or employee or other Person in which such officer, partner,
director or employee has a direct or indirect beneficial interest has a
substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner.

    


                        §7.16.     Employee Benefit
Plans.

    


                                  §7.16.1.     In
General.  Each Employee Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed
Pension Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all material
respects with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code,
including but not limited to the provisions
thereunder respecting prohibited transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and
other persons handling plan funds as required by §412 of ERISA.  The
Borrowers have heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent the most
recently completed annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and
actuarial statement required to be submitted under §103(d) of ERISA, with
respect to each Guaranteed Pension Plan.

    


                                  §7.16.2.     Terminability of Welfare
Plans.  No Employee Benefit Plan, which is an employee welfare
benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, provides benefit
coverage subsequent to termination of employment, except as required by Title I,
Part 6 of ERISA or the applicable state insurance laws.  The Borrowers
may terminate each such Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the
expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of the
Borrowers without liability to any Person other than for claims arising prior to
termination.

    


                                  §7.16.3.     Guaranteed Pension
Plans.  Each contribution required to be made to a Guaranteed
Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid the incurrence of an
accumulated funding deficiency, the notice or lien provisions of §302(f) of
ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made.  No waiver of an
accumulated funding deficiency or extension of amortization periods has been
received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, and neither any Borrower
or any Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to or has posted security
in connection with an amendment to a Guaranteed Pension Plan pursuant to §307 of
ERISA or §401(a)(29) of the Code.  No liability to the PBGC (other
than required insurance premiums, all of which have been paid) has been incurred
by any Borrower or any Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any
Guaranteed Pension Plan and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event (other
than an ERISA Reportable Event as to which the requirement of thirty (30) days
notice has been waived), or any other event or condition which presents a
material risk of termination of any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the
PBGC.  Based on the latest valuation of each Guaranteed Pension Plan
(which in each case occurred within twelve months of the date of this
representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed for that
valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities of all such Guaranteed Pension
Plans within the meaning of §4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of
the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans, disregarding for this purpose
the benefit liabilities and assets of any Guaranteed Pension Plan with assets in
excess of benefit liabilities, by more than $500,000.

    


                                  §7.16.4.     Multiemployer Plans.
Neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any
material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as
a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under
§4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in §4204 of
ERISA.  Neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate
has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent
under and within the meaning of §4241 or §4245 of ERISA or is at risk of
entering reorganization or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan
intends to terminate or has been terminated under §4041A of ERISA.

    


                        §7.17.     Regulations U and
X.  The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall
be used for the purposes described in §8.12.  No portion of any Loan
is to be used, and no portion of any Letter of Credit is to be obtained, for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin
security" or "margin stock" in violation of (and, as such terms are used in)
Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12
C.F.R. Parts 221 and 224.

    


                        §7.18.     Environmental
Compliance.  The Borrowers have caused environmental
assessments to be conducted and/or taken other steps to investigate the past and
present environmental condition and usage of the Real Estate and the operations
conducted thereon.  Based upon such assessments and/or investigation,
except as set forth on Schedule 7.18, the
Borrowers represent and warrant that:

    


                        (a)     None
of any Borrower, any Guarantor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any
operator of the Real Estate or any portion thereof, or any operations thereon is
in violation, or alleged violation, of any judgment, decree, order, law,
license, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental matters, including
without limitation, those arising under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act ("RCRA"), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 as amended ("CERCLA"), the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("SARA"), the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal
Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, or any state or local statute,
regulation, ordinance, order or decree relating to health, safety or the
environment (hereinafter "Environmental Laws"), which violation or alleged
violation has, or its remediation would have, by itself or when aggregated with
all such other violations or alleged violations, a Material Adverse Effect, or
constitutes a Disqualifying Environmental Event with respect to any Unencumbered
Property.

    


                        (b)     None
of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries has
received notice from any third party, including, without limitation, any
federal, state or local governmental authority, (i) that it has been identified
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as a potentially
responsible party under CERCLA with respect to a site listed on the National
Priorities List, 40 C.F.R. Part 300 Appendix B (1986), (ii) that any hazardous
waste, as defined by 42 U.S.C. §6903(5), any hazardous substances as defined by
42 U.S.C. §9601(14), any pollutant or contaminant as defined by 42 U.S.C.
§9601(33) or any toxic substances, oil or hazardous materials or other chemicals
or substances regulated by any Environmental Laws ("Hazardous Substances") which
it has generated, transported or disposed of has been found at any site at which
a federal, state or local agency or other third party has conducted or has
ordered that any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries
conduct a remedial investigation, removal or other response action pursuant to
any Environmental Law, or (iii) that it is or shall be a named party to any
claim, action, cause of action, complaint, or legal or administrative proceeding
(in each case, contingent or otherwise) arising out of any third party's
incurrence of costs, expenses, losses or damages of any kind whatsoever in
connection with the release of Hazardous Substances; which event described in
any such notice would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or
financial condition of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, or constitutes a Disqualifying Environmental Event with respect to
any Unencumbered Property.

    


                        (c)     Except
as set forth on Schedule 7.18, (i) no
portion of the Real Estate has been used for the handling, processing, storage
or disposal of Hazardous Substances except in accordance with applicable
Environmental Laws; and no underground tank or other underground storage
receptacle for Hazardous Substances is located on any portion of any Real Estate
except in
accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) in the course of any
activities conducted by the Borrowers, the Guarantors, their respective
Subsidiaries or the operators of their respective properties, or any ground or
space tenants on any Real Estate, no Hazardous Substances have been generated or
are being used on such Real Estate except in accordance with applicable
Environmental Laws, (iii) there has been no present or past releasing, spilling,
leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping,
disposing or dumping (a "Release") or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances
on, upon, into or from the Real Estate, (iv) there have been no Releases on,
upon, from or into any real property in the vicinity of any of the Real Estate
which, through soil or groundwater contamination, may have come to be located on
such Real Estate, and (v) any Hazardous Substances that have been generated on
any of the Real Estate during ownership thereof by a Borrower or a Guarantor or
any of their respective Subsidiaries have been transported off-site only by
carriers having an identification number issued by the EPA, treated or disposed
of only by treatment or disposal facilities maintaining valid permits as
required under applicable Environmental Laws, which transporters and facilities
have been and are, to the best of the Borrowers' knowledge, operating in
compliance with such permits and applicable Environmental Laws; any of which
events described in clauses (i) through (v) above would have a material adverse
effect on the business, assets or financial condition of any Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or constitutes a
Disqualifying Environmental Event with respect to any Unencumbered
Property.  Notwithstanding that the representations contained herein
are limited to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any such limitation shall not
affect the covenants specified in §8.11 or elsewhere in this Credit
Agreement.

    


                        (d)     None
of the Borrowers, the Guarantors or the Real Estate is subject to any applicable
Environmental Law requiring the performance of Hazardous Substances site
assessments, or the removal or remediation of Hazardous Substances, or the
giving of notice to any governmental agency or the recording or delivery to
other Persons of an environmental disclosure document or statement, by virtue of
the transactions set forth herein and contemplated hereby, or as a condition to
the effectiveness of any other transactions contemplated hereby.

    


                        (e)     There
has been no change in the status of the information disclosed on Schedule 7.18, that,
individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the
likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect (after taking into account any
indemnities, escrows or other similar protections provided by a third party for
the matters set forth in Schedule
7.18).

    


                        §7.19.     Subsidiaries.  Schedule 7.19 sets
forth all of the respective Subsidiaries of Sovran or SALP, and Schedule 7.19 will be
updated to reflect any subsequent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, if
any.

    


                        §7.20.     Loan
Documents.  All of the representations and warranties of the
Borrowers and the Guarantors made in this Credit Agreement and in the other Loan
Documents or any document or instrument delivered to the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders pursuant to or in connection with any of such Loan Documents are
true and correct in all material respects and do not include any untrue

Status.  Sovran has not taken any action that would prevent it
from maintaining its qualification as a REIT for its tax year ended December 31,
2007, or from maintaining such qualification at all times during the term of the
Loans.  Sovran is not a "pension held REIT" within the meaning of
§856(h)(3)(D) of the Code.

liable or for which a lien may be imposed on any Real Estate; any of which
events described in clauses (i) through (iv) above could reasonably be expected

defenses to which any of the Unencumbered Properties are subject, which (i)
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially and

to such Unencumbered Property, constitute a Disqualifying Environmental Event, a
Disqualifying Legal Event, a Disqualifying Building Event or a Lien which is not

Judgments.  Each Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor
to, and the Borrowers will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, give
notice to the Administrative Agent in writing within ten (10) days of becoming
aware of any litigation or proceedings threatened in writing or any pending
litigation and proceedings an adverse determination in which could materially

any Unencumbered Property or to which any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of
their respective Subsidiaries is or is to become a party involving a claim
against any Borrower,
any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (to the extent uninsured)
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
materially affect the value or operation of the Unencumbered Properties and
stating the nature and status of such litigation or proceedings.  Each
Borrower will, and will cause each of the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries to,
give notice to the Administrative Agent, in writing, in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days of any
judgment to the extent not covered by insurance, final or otherwise, against any
Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries in an amount in excess of
$100,000.

of Real Estate.  The Borrower Representative shall notify the
Administrative Agent in writing within seven (7) Business Days of the
acquisition and the disposition of any Real Estate by any Borrower, any
Guarantor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Partially-Owned Entity
(whether or not such acquisition was made with proceeds of the Loans), which

                        (f)     [Intentionally
Omitted.]

    


                        (g)     Notice to
Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will use good faith efforts
to cause any notice delivered under this §8.5 to be delivered to each Lender in
accordance with §15.12 and in any event on the same day or the Business Day
following the day such notice is received by the Administrative
Agent.

    


                        §8.6.     Existence
of SALP, Holdings and Subsidiary Guarantors; Maintenance of
Properties.  SALP for itself and for Holdings and each Subsidiary
Guarantor (insofar as any such statements relate to Holdings or such Subsidiary
Guarantor) will do or cause to be done all things necessary to, and shall,
preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a limited
partnership, corporation or another legally constituted entity, and will do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force all of
its rights and franchises and those of its Subsidiaries, and will not, and will
not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, convert to a limited liability
company or a limited liability partnership.  SALP shall be the owner
of substantially all of the Real Estate owned by the Borrowers and their
respective Subsidiaries and shall not permit any Subsidiary of any Borrower to
own any Real Estate without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders,
and then only in specific circumstances outside of the ordinary course of
business.  In any such case, such Subsidiary shall be wholly-owned by
Sovran or SALP and shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor.  SALP (a) will
cause all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements to be made to all Real Estate owned or controlled by it or by any
of its Subsidiaries or any Subsidiary Guarantor, all as in the judgment of SALP
or such Subsidiary or such Subsidiary Guarantor may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all
times, subject to the terms of the applicable Leases and partnership agreements
or other organizational documents, (b) will cause all of its other properties
and those of its Subsidiaries and the Subsidiary Guarantors used or useful
in the conduct of its business or the business of its Subsidiaries or such
Subsidiary Guarantor to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and
working order and supplied with all necessary equipment, and (c) will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary Guarantor to, continue to
engage exclusively in the business of owning and operating self storage
facilities, which self storage facilities shall be known primarily as "Uncle
Bob's Self Storage"; provided that nothing in this Credit Agreement shall
prevent the Borrowers from entering into Tower Leases or occasional
non­material Leases of retail or office space incidental to the Borrowers'
owning and operating self storage facilities; and provided further that nothing
in this §8.6 shall prevent any Borrower from discontinuing the operation and
maintenance of any of its properties or any of those of its Subsidiaries if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of SALP, desirable in the conduct of its or
their business and such discontinuance does not cause a Default or an Event of
Default hereunder and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  Holdings shall at all times be a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Sovran and the sole general partner of SALP and shall be the owner
of at least 1% of the outstanding partnership interests in SALP.

    


                        §8.7.     Existence of Sovran;
Maintenance of REIT Status of Sovran; Maintenance of
Properties.  Sovran will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a
Maryland corporation.  Sovran will at all times maintain its status as
a REIT and not to take any action which could lead to its disqualification as a
REIT.  Sovran shall at all times maintain its listing on the New York
Stock Exchange.  Sovran will continue to operate as a
fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment
trust which, together with its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation SALP)
owns and operates an improved property portfolio comprised exclusively of
self-storage facilities.  Sovran will not engage in any business other
than the business of acting as a REIT and serving as a limited partner of SALP
and as a member, partner or stockholder of other Persons as permitted by this
Credit Agreement.  Sovran shall conduct all or substantially all of
its business operations through SALP, and shall not own real estate assets
outside of its interests in SALP.  Sovran shall cause SALP to own
substantially all of the Real Estate owned by the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries and shall not permit any Subsidiary of any Borrower to become the
owner of any Real Estate without the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders, and then only in specific circumstances outside of the ordinary course
of business.  In any such case, such Subsidiary shall be wholly-owned
by Sovran or SALP and shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor.  Sovran
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force all of its rights and franchises and those of its
Subsidiaries.  Sovran shall (a) cause all of its properties and those
of its Subsidiaries used or useful in the conduct of its business or the
business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment, (b) cause to be
made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of Sovran may be necessary so that the business
carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted
at all times, and (c) cause SALP and each of its Subsidiaries to continue to
engage exclusively in the business of owning and operating self storage
facilities, which self-storage facilities shall be known primarily as "Uncle
Bob's Self Storage"; provided that nothing in this §8.7 shall prevent Sovran
from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of its properties or any
of those of its Subsidiaries if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of
Sovran, desirable in the conduct of its or their business and such
discontinuance does not cause a Default or an Event of Default hereunder
and could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

    


                        §8.8.     Insurance.  Each
Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor to, maintain with respect to its
properties, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain with financially
sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to such properties and its
business against such casualties and contingencies as shall be in accordance
with the general practices of businesses having similar operations and real
estate portfolios in similar geographic areas and in amounts, containing such
terms, in such forms and for such periods as is commercially reasonable,
customary and prudent, and from time to time deliver to the Administrative Agent
upon its request certificates of insurance as to all of the insurance maintained
by each Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries on the Real Estate (including
flood insurance if necessary) from the insurer or an independent insurance
broker, identifying insurers, types of insurance, insurance limits, and policy
terms.

    


                        §8.9.     Taxes.  Each
Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries to,
pay or cause to be paid real estate taxes, other taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges against the Real Estate before the same become delinquent
and will duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the
same shall become overdue, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges
imposed upon its sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income
or profits therefrom, as well as all claims for labor, materials, or supplies
that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of the Real Estate;
provided that
any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim need not be paid if the validity
or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and if such Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and provided further that such
Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary will pay all such taxes,
assessments, charges, levies or claims forthwith upon the commencement of
proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security
therefor.  If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers
will provide evidence of the payment of real estate taxes, other taxes,
assessments and other governmental charges against the Real Estate in the form
of receipted tax bills or other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent.

    


                        §8.10.     Inspection of Properties and
Books; Confidentiality.  Each Borrower will, and will cause
each Guarantor to, permit the Lenders, through the Administrative Agent or any
of the Lenders' other designated representatives, to visit and inspect any of
the properties of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, to examine the books of account of the Borrowers, the Guarantors
and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts
therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrowers,
the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to
the same by, its officers, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that the
Borrowers shall only be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with such inspections after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  The Administrative
Agent and each Lender agrees to keep any non-public information delivered or
made available by the Borrowers to it confidential from anyone other than
persons employed or retained by the Administrative Agent or such Lender
(including, without limitation, employees, officers, attorneys and other
advisors) who,
in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
reasonably need to know such information and who are or are expected to become
engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans or
rendering legal advice in connection with the Loans; provided such
employees, officers, attorneys and other advisors agree to keep such information
confidential in accordance with this §8.10; and provided further that nothing
herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender or persons employed
or retained by the Administrative Agent or such Lender from disclosing such
information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to any other person if reasonably
incidental to the administration of the Loans, (iii) upon the order of any court
or administrative agency, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory
agency or authority, (v) which has been publicly disclosed other than as a
result of a disclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender which is not
permitted by this Credit Agreement, (vi) in connection with any litigation
to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or their respective Affiliates
may be a party, (vii) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the
exercise of any remedy hereunder, (viii) to the Administrative Agent's or such
Lender's Affiliates, legal counsel and independent auditors, (ix) to any actual
or proposed participant or Eligible Assignee of all or part of its rights
hereunder, and (x) as otherwise required by law.

    


                        §8.11.     Compliance with Laws,
Contracts, Licenses, and Permits.  Each Borrower will, and will
cause each Guarantor to, comply with, and will cause each of their respective
Subsidiaries to comply with (a) all applicable laws and regulations now or
hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted, including, without
limitation, all Environmental Laws and all applicable federal and state
securities laws, (b) the provisions of its partnership agreement and certificate
or corporate charter and other organizational documents, as applicable, (c) all
material agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any
of its properties may be bound (including the Real Estate and the Leases) and
(d) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments.  If at any time
while any Loan or Note is outstanding or the Lenders have any obligation to make
Loans hereunder, any Permit shall become necessary or required in order that any
Borrower or any Guarantor may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document to which it is a party, the Borrowers and the Guarantors
will immediately take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the power
of the Borrowers or the Guarantors, as applicable, to obtain such Permit and
furnish the Administrative Agent with evidence thereof.

    


                        §8.12.     Use of
Proceeds.  Subject at all times to the other provisions of this
Credit Agreement the Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of
Credit to be obtained solely to finance (a) the acquisition, renovation and
construction of self storage facilities, (b) the repayment of Indebtedness (c)
stock repurchases in accordance with §9.7(a) and (d) general working capital
needs.

    


                        §8.13.     Acquisition of Unencumbered
Properties.  In addition to the requirements of §8.5(e), the
Borrowers shall, within seven (7) Business Days of the acquisition of an
Unencumbered Property or the qualification of any Real Estate as an Unencumbered
Property, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from an officer of
the Borrower Representative certifying that such Real Estate satisfies the
requirements for an Unencumbered Property set forth in the definition
thereof.

                        §8.14.     Additional Guarantors;
Solvency of Guarantors.

    


                        (a)     If,
after the Restatement Date, a Subsidiary of any Borrower acquires any Real
Estate in accordance with §8.6 and §8.7 that otherwise qualifies as an
Unencumbered Property but is owned by a Person other than a then Borrower or
Guarantor, the Borrowers shall cause such Person (which Person must be or become
a wholly-owned Subsidiary of SALP or Sovran) to execute and deliver a Guaranty
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto
prior to such Real Estate's becoming an Unencumbered Property
hereunder.  Such Guaranty shall evidence consideration and equivalent
value.  The Borrowers will not permit any Guarantor that owns any
Unencumbered Properties to have any Subsidiaries.

    


                        (b)     The
Borrowers shall cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to remain solvent and
shall provide each of the Subsidiary Guarantors with such funds and assets as
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall require in the operation of its business, all in
consideration of such Guarantor's execution and delivery of its
Guaranty.

    


                        §8.15.     Further
Assurances.  Each Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor
to, cooperate with, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries to cooperate with, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and
documents as the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to
carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

    


                        §8.16.     Intentionally
Omitted.

    


                        §8.17.     Environmental
Indemnification.  The Borrowers jointly and severally covenant
and agree that they will indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates, harmless from and against any
and all claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any such Affiliate (including all
reasonable costs of legal representation incurred by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, but excluding, as applicable, for the Administrative Agent or a
Lender any claim, expense, damage, loss or liability as a result of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or
any of their respective Affiliates) relating to (a) any Release or threatened
Release of Hazardous Substances on any Real Estate; (b) any violation of any
Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at any Real Estate or the
operations conducted thereon; (c) the investigation or remediation of off-site
locations at which any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or their predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly
disposed of Hazardous Substances; or (d) any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances
relating to Real Estate (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to
wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property).  It is
expressly acknowledged by each Borrower that this covenant of indemnification
shall survive the payment of the Loans and shall inure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, their
respective successors, and their respective assigns under the Loan Documents
permitted under this Credit Agreement.

                        §8.18.     Response
Actions.  Each Borrower covenants and agrees that if any
Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred
on any Real Estate owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries, such Borrower will
cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and
remediation of such Real Estate as necessary to comply with all Environmental
Laws or to preserve the value of such Real Estate.

    


                        §8.19.     Environmental
Assessments.  If the Required Lenders have reasonable grounds
to believe that a Disqualifying Environmental Event has occurred with respect to
any Unencumbered Property, after reasonable notice by the Administrative Agent,
whether or not a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred, the
Required Lenders may determine that the affected Real Estate no longer qualifies
as an Unencumbered Property; provided that prior
to making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower
Representative reasonable notice and the opportunity to obtain one or more
environmental assessments or audits of such Unencumbered Property prepared by a
hydrogeologist, an independent engineer or other qualified consultant or expert
approved by the Administrative Agent, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld, to evaluate or confirm (i) whether any Release of Hazardous Substances
has occurred in the soil or water at such Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether
the use and operation of such Unencumbered Property materially complies with all
Environmental Laws (including not being subject to a matter that is a
Disqualifying Environmental Event).  Such assessment will then be used
by the Administrative Agent to determine whether a Disqualifying Environmental
Event has in fact occurred with respect to such Unencumbered
Property.  All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole
cost and expense of the Borrowers.

    


                        §8.20.     Employee Benefit
Plans.

    


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

    


                        (b)     Terminability of Welfare
Plans.  With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan maintained
by any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates which
is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of
ERISA, such Borrower, such Guarantor, or any of their respective ERISA
Affiliates, as the case may be, has the right to terminate each such plan at any
time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining
agreement) without liability other than liability to pay claims incurred prior
to the date of termination.

    


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

    


                        §8.21.     No Amendments to Certain
Documents.  The Borrowers will not, and will not permit any
Guarantor to, at any time cause or permit its certificate of limited
partnership,

    agreement
of limited partnership, articles of incorporation, by-laws or other
organizational documents, as the case may be, to be modified, amended or
supplemented in any respect whatever, without (in each case) the express prior
written consent or approval of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, if
such changes would affect Sovran's REIT status or could otherwise reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    


                        §8.22.     Exclusive Credit
Facility.  The Borrowers will at all times use this Credit
Agreement as the Borrower's exclusive revolving credit agreement and will not at
any time during the term of this Credit Agreement permit any other revolving
credit agreement to be maintained by any Borrower or any Guarantor.

    


                        §8.23.     Management.  Except
by reason of death or incapacity, at least two (2) of the Key Management
Individuals (as hereinafter defined) shall remain active in the executive and/or
operational management, in their current positions and with their current
responsibilities (or more senior positions with requisite greater
responsibilities), of Sovran; provided, however, if at least
two (2) of the Key Management Individuals are not so active in such positions
and with such responsibilities (except by reason of death or incapacity as
aforesaid), then within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event, Sovran
shall propose and appoint such individual(s) of comparable experience,
reputation and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders to such
position(s) such that, after such appointment, such acceptable replacement
individuals, together with the Key Management Individuals remaining so active
with Sovran in such positions and with such responsibilities, total at least two
(2).  For purposes hereof, "Key Management Individuals" shall mean and
include Robert J. Attea, Kenneth F. Myszka and David L. Rogers.

    


                        §8.24.     Financial Covenants under
Note Purchase Agreement.  In the event that any of the
financial covenants contained in the Note Purchase Agreement (the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that for purposes of this §8.24 the term "financial
covenants" shall be deemed to refer to the covenants set forth in Section 10.8
through 10.20 of the Note Purchase Agreement as of the date hereof) or the
defined terms relevant to such financial covenants are amended or modified by
the parties to said Note Purchase Agreement, or any additional financial
covenant not set forth herein is incorporated into the Note Purchase Agreement
in a manner which is more restrictive on the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or
more beneficial to the holders of the notes issued under the Note Purchase
Agreement, then and in such event the Borrowers shall concurrently therewith
provide notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly give such notice to the Lenders, and the financial
covenants and the defined terms relevant to such financial covenants set forth
herein shall automatically be deemed amended or modified to the same effect as
in the Note Purchase Agreement, or such additional financial covenants and the
defined terms relevant to such financial covenants shall automatically be deemed
to be incorporated into this Credit Agreement by reference.

    


              §9.     CERTAIN NEGATIVE COVENANTS
OF THE BORROWERS AND THE  GUARANTORS.  Each Borrower
for itself and on behalf of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that, so long as
any Loan, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, Letter of Credit or Note is
outstanding
or any of the Lenders has any obligation to make any Loans or the Administrative
Agent has any obligation to issue, extend or renew any Letters of
Credit:

    


                        §9.1.     Restrictions on
Indebtedness.

    


                        The
Borrowers and the Guarantors may, and may permit their respective Subsidiaries
to, create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable for, contingently or
otherwise, any Indebtedness other than:

    


                        (a)     Indebtedness
(excluding the Obligations) which is incurred under a revolving credit facility
or line of credit with another financial institution;

    


                        (b)     Indebtedness
which would result in a Default or Event of Default under §10 hereof or under
any other provision of this Credit Agreement;

    


                        (c)     An
aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000 at any one time in respect of taxes,
assessments, governmental charges or levies and claims for labor, materials and
supplies for which payment therefor is required to be made in accordance with
the provisions of §8.9 and has not been timely made;

    


                        (d)     An
aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000 at any one time in respect of uninsured
judgments or awards, with respect to which the applicable periods for taking
appeals have expired, or with respect to which final and unappealable judgments
or awards have been rendered; and

    


                        (e)     Current
unsecured liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, which (i) are
overdue for more than sixty (60) days, (ii) exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate
at any one time, and (iii) are not being contested in good faith.

    


                        The
terms and provisions of this §9.1 are in addition to, and not in limitation of,
the covenants set forth in §10 of this Credit Agreement.

    


                        Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrowers and the Guarantors will
not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness for borrowed
money which, together with other Indebtedness for borrowed money incurred by any
Borrower, any Guarantor, and any Subsidiary since the date of the most recent
compliance certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with
this Credit Agreement, exceeds $5,000,000 in the aggregate unless the Borrowers
shall have delivered a compliance certificate in the form of Exhibit D-4 hereto to
the Administrative Agent evidencing covenant compliance at the time of delivery
of the certificate and on a pro-forma basis after giving effect to such proposed
Indebtedness.  The Administrative Agent will use good faith efforts to
cause any compliance certificate delivered under this Credit Agreement to be
delivered to each Lender in accordance with §15.12 and in any event on the same

Property to be subject to a Lien to secure Indebtedness;

    


                                  (vii)     as

a good faith appeal or proceeding for review is being prosecuted, and in respect
of which a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or
review; provided that the

                        Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this §9.2, the failure of any Unencumbered Property
to comply with the covenants set forth in this §9.2 shall result in such
Unencumbered Property's disqualification as an Unencumbered Property under this
Credit Agreement, but such disqualification shall not by itself constitute a
Default or Event of Default, unless such disqualification causes a Default or an
Event of Default under another provision of this Credit Agreement.

any Unencumbered Property under this clause (i), the Borrowers shall provide to
the Administrative Agent a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-6 hereto
signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower

be) granted under this clause (ii); provided, that (x) if
such Sale or Indebtedness Lien is made or granted under this clause (ii) while a
Default is continuing, such Sale or Indebtedness Lien (together with other Sales
and Indebtedness Liens under this clause (ii)) cures (or would cure) such
Default before it becomes an Event of Default, (y) if multiple Sales or
grantings of Indebtedness Liens are undertaken pursuant to the foregoing
subclause (x) to cure a Default, the Borrowers shall apply the net proceeds of
each such Sale or Indebtedness Lien remaining after application to such cure to

Real Estate in any manner so as to cause a Release or a violation of any
Environmental Law; provided that a
breach of this covenant shall result in the exclusion of the affected Real
Estate from the calculation of the covenants set forth in §10, but shall only
constitute an Event of Default under §13.1(c) hereof if such breach has a
material adverse effect on the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, or materially impairs the ability of the Borrowers to fulfill their
obligations to the Lenders under this Credit Agreement.

    


                        §9.7.     Distributions.  (a)

that the Borrowers may at all times make Distributions to the extent (after
taking into account all available funds of Sovran from all other sources)
required in order to enable Sovran to continue to qualify as a REIT; and provided further
that, subject to the requirements §9.3(k), the Borrowers will not at any time

reissued, or cancelled.

    


                        (b)     Sovran
will not, during any period when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, make any Distributions in excess of the Distributions required to be

their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to §302(f) or §4068 of ERISA;
or

any Guaranteed Pension Plan in circumstances requiring the posting of security
pursuant to §307 of ERISA or §401(a)(29) of the Code; or

    


                        (e)     permit
or take any action which would result in the aggregate benefit liabilities (with

assumption of any Lien upon its properties (other than prohibitions on liens for
particular assets (other than an Unencumbered Property) set forth in a security
instrument in connection with Indebtedness for such assets and the granting or
effect of such liens does not otherwise constitute a Default or Event of
Default), revenues or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or
restricting the ability of the Borrowers or the Guarantors to amend or modify

§13.1(g) or §13.1(h) shall occur, any unused portion of the Commitments
hereunder shall
forthwith terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make
Loans to the Borrowers.  If any other Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated
the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §13.1, the Administrative Agent may, and
upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrowers,
terminate the unused portion of the credit hereunder, and upon such notice being
given such unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate immediately
and each of the Lenders shall be relieved of all further obligations to make
Loans.  No such termination of the credit hereunder shall relieve any
Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the Obligations or any of its existing
obligations to the Lenders arising under other agreements or
instruments.

    


                        §13.3.     Remedies.  In
the event that one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of
the Loans pursuant to §13.1, the Required Lenders if owed any Obligations may
direct the Administrative Agent to proceed to protect and enforce the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Credit
Agreement, the Notes, any or all of the other Loan Documents or under applicable
law by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding (including
for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which
the Obligations are evidenced and the obtaining of the appointment of a
receiver) and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise,
proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right or
remedy of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or
applicable law.  No remedy herein conferred upon the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent or the holder of any Note or purchaser of any Letter of
Credit Participation is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of
law.

    


                        §13.4.     Distribution of
Proceeds.  In the event that, following the occurrence or
during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives any monies from the Borrowers
or in connection with the enforcement of any the Guaranties, such monies shall
be distributed for application as follows:

    


                        (a)     First,
to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the
Administrative Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses,
disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the
Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the
Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and
privileges of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Credit
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of
adequate indemnity to the Administrative Agent against any taxes or liens which
by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Administrative
Agent to such monies;

    


                        (b)     Second,
to all other Obligations in such order or preference as the Required Lenders may
determine; provided, however, that (i)
distributions shall be made (A) pari passu among
Obligations with respect to the Administrative Agent's Administration Fee
payable pursuant
to §4.1 and all other Obligations and (B) with respect to each type of
Obligation owing to the Lenders, such as interest, principal, fees and expenses,
among the Lenders pro rata, and (ii) the Administrative Agent may in its
discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then
due and payable;

    


                        (c)     Third,
the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowers or to such other Persons
as are entitled thereto.

    


              §14.     SET
OFF.  Borrowers and each Guarantor hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a continuing lien,
security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and
obligations to the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and
against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the
possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or any
entity under the control of M&T Bank and its successors and assigns or in
transit to any of them.  Without demand or notice to the extent
permitted by applicable law, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any
deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless
of currency, maturity, or the branch at which such deposits are held, but
specifically excluding tenant security deposits, other fiduciary accounts and
other segregated escrow accounts required to be maintained by any of the
Borrowers for the benefit of any third party) or other sums credited by or due
from any of the Lenders to any of the Borrowers or any other property of any of
the Borrowers in the possession of the Administrative Agent or a Lender may be
applied to or set off against the payment of the Obligations.  ANY AND
ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS,
PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS
OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER OR GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.  Each of the Lenders agrees with
each other Lender that (a) if pursuant to any agreement between such Lender and
any Borrower (other than this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document), an
amount to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of any Borrower to such
Lender, other than with respect to the Obligations, such amount shall be applied
ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Obligations, and (b) if such
Lender shall receive from any Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise
of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the
Obligations by proceedings against such Borrower at law or in equity or by proof
thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar
proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note
or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the
payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by, and
Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all of the Lenders, such Lender will make
such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such
excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of
claims, subrogation or otherwise, as shall result in each Lender receiving in
respect of the Notes held by it or Reimbursement Obligations owed it, its
proportionate payment as contemplated by this Credit Agreement; provided that if all
or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender,
such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise
a right of setoff if such exercise would limit or prevent the exercise of any
other remedy or other recourse against any Borrower.

    


              §15.     THE
AGENTS.

    


                        §15.1.     Authorization.  (a)  The
Administrative Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the
Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the
other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Administrative
Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, including,
without limitation, to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as agent for the
Lenders (to which the Lenders agree to be bound), provided that no
duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be
implied to have been assumed by the Administrative Agent.  The
relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is and shall be
that of agent and principal only, and nothing contained in this Credit Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the
Administrative Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender.

    


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

    


                        §15.2.     Employees and
Agents.  The Administrative Agent may exercise its powers and
execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to
take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its
rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  The Administrative Agent may utilize the services of such
Persons as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably
determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be
paid by the Borrowers if so provided in §16 hereof.

    


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

    


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

    


                        §15.5.     Payments.

    


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

    


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

    


                        (c)     Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to the
Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or to purchase any Letter of
Credit Participation or (ii) to comply with the provisions of §14 with respect
to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such
Lender's share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in
excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the
Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions
of this Credit Agreement, or to adjust promptly such Lender's outstanding
principal and its pro rata Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage as provided in
§2.1, shall be deemed delinquent (a "Delinquent Lender") and shall be deemed a
Delinquent Lender until such time as such
delinquency is satisfied.  A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrowers, whether on account
of outstanding Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or
otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and
reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans and
Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations.  The Delinquent Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the
nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all
outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations.  If not
previously satisfied directly by the Delinquent Lender, a Delinquent Lender
shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result
of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans and Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations of the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders' respective
pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations
have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and
without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

    


                        §15.6.     Holders of
Notes.  As provided in §19.3, the Administrative Agent may deem
and treat the payee of any Notes or the purchaser of any Letter of Credit
Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof
until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such
payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

    


                        §15.7.     Indemnity.  The
Lenders ratably and severally agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless each
Agent and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions and suits
(whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including
any expenses for which such Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrowers as
required by §16), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of
or related to this Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or
such Agent's or any Affiliate's actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to
the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by such Agent's or any
Affiliate's willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Nothing in this
§15.7 shall limit any indemnification obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder.

    


                        §15.8.     Agents as
Lenders.  In its individual capacity as a Lender, M&T Bank
shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in
respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of
the Notes and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participations, as it
would have were it not also an Agent.

    


                        §15.9.     Notification of Defaults and
Events of Default.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon
learning of the existence of a default, Default or an Event of Default, it shall
(to the extent notice has not previously been provided) promptly notify the
Administrative Agent thereof.  The Administrative Agent hereby agrees
that upon receipt of any notice under this §15.9 it shall promptly notify the
other Lenders of the existence of such default, Default or Event of
Default.

    


                        §15.10.     Duties in the Case of
Enforcement.  In case one or more Events of Default have
occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the
Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, if (a) so
requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the
Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances
against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Credit Agreement and exercise
all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may
have in respect of enforcement of the Lenders' rights against the Borrowers and
the Guarantors under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent
in writing as to the method and the extent (other than when such direction
requires Unanimous Lender Approval under §26) of any such enforcement, the
Lenders (including any Lender which is not one of the Required Lenders) hereby
agreeing to ratably and severally indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent
harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or
omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the
Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that
the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent's
compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in
any applicable jurisdiction.

    


                        §15.11.     Successor
Agents.  M&T Bank, or any successor Administrative Agent,
may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving written notice thereof
to the Lenders and to the Borrowers.  In addition, the Required
Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent in the event of the Administrative
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Any such resignation
or removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent, as hereinafter provided.  Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, which is a Lender under this Credit Agreement,
provided that
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the
Borrowers shall have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If, in the case of
a resignation by the Administrative Agent, no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the
Borrowers, if applicable, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint any one of the other Lenders as a successor Administrative
Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, 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 all further
duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Credit
Agreement.  After any Administrative Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this §15 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement.

    


                        §15.12.     Notices.  Any
notices or other information required hereunder to be provided to the
Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent is required hereunder to
provide to the Lenders, shall be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each
of the Lenders on the same day (if practicable) and, in any case, on the next
Business Day following the Administrative Agent's receipt
thereof.

                        §15.13.     Administrative Agent May
File Proofs of Claim.

    


                        (a)     In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial,
administrative or like proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors
relative to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or
Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding, under any such
assignment or otherwise:

    


                                  (i)     to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid
and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under §§2.3, 3.3,
4.1, 5.10, and 16) allowed in such proceeding or under any such assignment;
and

    


                                  (ii)     for
itself and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to collect and receive any
monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same in accordance with the provisions of this Credit
Agreement.

    


                        (b)     Any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such proceeding or under any such assignment is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and,
in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Lenders, nevertheless to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Administrative Agent under §§2.3, 3.3, 4.1, 5.10, and
16.

    


                        (c)     Nothing
contained herein shall authorize the Administrative Agent to consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations owed to such Lender or the
rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect
of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding or under any such
assignment.

    


              §16.     EXPENSES.  The
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (a) the reasonable costs of
producing and reproducing this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) the reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent's outside counsel or any
local counsel to the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the
preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other
instruments mentioned herein, each closing hereunder,
and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or
hereunder, (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the
Administrative Agent incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other
instruments mentioned herein, any amendments, modifications, approvals, consents
or waivers hereto or hereunder, or the cancellation of any Loan Document upon
payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations or pursuant to any terms of
such Loan Document for providing for such cancellation, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent's
counsel in preparing the documentation, (d) the reasonable fees, costs, expenses
and disbursements of each of the Agents and its Affiliates incurred in
connection with the syndication and/or participations of the Loans, including,
without limitation, costs of preparing syndication materials and photocopying
costs, which syndication costs and expenses shall be payable by the Borrowers
regardless of whether the Loans are ultimately syndicated, (e) all reasonable
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, which attorneys may be
employees of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, and the fees and costs of
appraisers, engineers, investment bankers, surveyors or other experts retained
by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with any such
enforcement proceedings) incurred by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in
connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of
the Loan Documents against any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any
Guarantor or the administration thereof after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation,
expenses incurred in any restructuring and/or "workout" of the Loans), and (ii)
subject to the limitation set forth in §17 hereof, any litigation, proceeding or
dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to any
Lender's or the Administrative Agent's relationship with any Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor, (f) all reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with UCC
searches and (g) all costs incurred by the Administrative Agent in the future in
connection with its inspection of the Unencumbered Properties after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  The
covenants of this §16 shall survive payment or satisfaction of payment of
amounts owing with respect to the Notes.

    


              §17.     INDEMNIFICATION.  The
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the
Agents and Lenders and the shareholders, directors, agents, counsel,
professional advisors, officers, subsidiaries and Affiliates of each of the
Agents and Lenders (each group consisting of an Agent or a Lender and its
respective shareholders, directors, agents, counsel, professional advisors,
officers, subsidiaries and Affiliates being an "Indemnified Lender's Group")
from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or
otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, settlement
payments, obligations, damages and expenses of every nature and character,
arising out of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or which otherwise arise in
connection with the financing, including, without limitation, (a) any actual or
proposed use by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any
of the Loans, (b) any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor
entering into or performing this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, or (c) pursuant to §8.17 hereof, in each case
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such
investigation,
litigation or other proceeding, provided, however, that the
Borrowers shall not be obligated under this §17 to indemnify any Person for
liabilities to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Person or of any other Person in the Indemnified Lender's
Group of which such Person is a member (but such indemnification shall continue
to apply to all other Persons including all other Indemnified Lender's
Groups).  Each Person to be indemnified under this §17 shall give the
Borrowers notice of any claim as to which it is seeking indemnification under
this §17 promptly after becoming aware of the same (which shall constitute
notice for all Indemnified Lender's Groups), but such Person's failure to give
prompt notice shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this §17
unless such failure prejudices the legal rights of the Borrowers regarding such
indemnity.  In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Borrowers
shall be entitled to select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Required
Lenders, and the Lenders (as approved by the Required Lenders) shall be entitled
to select their own supervisory counsel and, in addition to the foregoing
indemnity, the Borrowers agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses
of each such counsel if (i) in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, use of
counsel of the Borrowers' choice could reasonably be expected to give rise to a
conflict of interest, (ii) the Borrowers shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders within a reasonable time
after notice of the institution of any such litigation or proceeding or
(iii) the Borrower Representative authorizes each Agent and Lender to
employ separate counsel at the Borrowers' expense.  If and to the
extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under this §17 are unenforceable
for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to
the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under
applicable law.  The provisions of this §17 shall survive the
repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders

of any such claim, action, cause of action or suit exists.

    


              §18.     SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS,
ETC.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any
documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been
relied upon by the Lenders and the Agents, notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the
Lenders of any of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full
force and effect so long as any Letter of Credit or any amount due under this
Credit Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains
outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or the
Administrative Agent has any obligation to issue, extend or renew any Letter of
Credit, and for such further time as may be otherwise expressly specified in
this Credit Agreement.  The indemnification obligations of the
Borrowers provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full

ETC.

    


                        §19.1.     Successors and Assigns

the provisions of §19.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of §19.4 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of §19.6 (and any other attempted

respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in §19.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and of their respective Affiliates)

Agreement.

    


                        §19.2.     Assignments by
Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees (an "Assignee") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the
Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any
such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

    


                        (a)     Minimum
Amounts.

    


                                  (i)     in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum
amount need be assigned; and

    


                                  (ii)     in
any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (i), the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
"Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect
of a Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in
respect of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as
no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrowers otherwise consent
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

    


                        (b)     Each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with
respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

                        (c)     No
consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
clause (ii) of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and, in
addition:

    


                                  (i)     the
consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall
exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

    


                                  (ii)     the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a
Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not
already a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender
or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (y) a Term Loan to a
Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund.

    


                        (d)     No
such assignment shall be made to the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers'
Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

    


                        (e)     No
such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

    


    Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
§19.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all
of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled
to the benefits of §4.6, §16 and §17 and the other provisions of this Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph
shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender
of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
§19.4.

    


                        §19.3.     Register.  The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Head Office a copy of
each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts 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, and the Borrower, 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 Credit
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                        §19.4.     Participations.  Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or
the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a
natural person or the Borrowers or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower)
(each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or
obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any  provision of this Credit Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will
not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document described in §26
that adversely affects such Participant.  Subject to §19.5, the
Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of §4.6
and §4.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to §19.7.  To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of §14
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
§14 as though it were a Lender.  Upon request from the Administrative
Agent, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
Representative of the sale of any participation hereunder.

    


                        §19.5.     Limitation upon Participant
Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under §4.6 and §4.7 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrowers' prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of §4.2
unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent, to comply with §4.2(c) as though it were a
Lender.

    


                        §19.6.     Certain
Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

    


                        §19.7.     No
Registration.  Each Lender agrees that, without the prior
written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, it will not make
any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would
require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or
Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States
of America or of any other jurisdiction.

                        §19.8.     Disclosure.  The
Borrowers agree that, in addition to disclosures made in accordance with
standard banking practices, any Lender may disclose information obtained by such
Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement to assignees or Participants and
potential assignees or Participants hereunder; provided that such
assignees or potential assignees shall be Eligible Assignees.  Any
such disclosed information shall be treated by any assignee or Participant with
the same standard of confidentiality set forth in §8.10 hereof.

    


                        §19.9.     Syndication.  The
Borrowers acknowledge that the Administrative Agent intends, and shall have the
right, by itself or through its Affiliates, to syndicate or enter into
co-lending arrangements with respect to the Loans and the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment pursuant to this §19, and the Borrowers agree to cooperate with the
Administrative Agent's and its Affiliate's syndication and/or co-lending
efforts, such cooperation to include, without limitation, the provision of
information reasonably requested by potential syndicate members.

              Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the unanimous consent of the Lenders under the Term Loan or the
Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, solely to the extent that such Lenders are
directly affected thereby, shall be required for any amendment, modification or
waiver of this Credit Agreement that:

    


                                  (i)     reduces
or forgives any principal of any unpaid Loan or Reimbursement Obligations or any

respect to the Lenders under the Term Loan, any alteration to §3.5 hereof; provided that Unanimous

Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the

    No
waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair
any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing or delay or
omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be
prejudicial to such right or any other rights of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders.  No notice to or demand upon any Borrower shall entitle any
Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

    


              §27.     SEVERABILITY.  The
provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or
provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in
any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only
such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not
in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any
other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any
jurisdiction.

(the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that

              FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned SOVRAN SELF STORAGE, INC., a Maryland corporation
("Sovran"), and
the undersigned SOVRAN ACQUISITION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited
partnership ("SALP" and together
with Sovran, collectively referred to herein as the "Borrowers" and
individually as a "Borrower"), hereby
jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of                                       ,
[a national banking association] (the "Lender") at the
Administrative Agent's Head Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined
below):

    


    
      	 
      	
                        (a)  prior
      to or on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date the principal amount of
                                        
      Dollars ($                             )
      or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit
      Loans advanced by the Lender to the Borrowers pursuant to the Third
      Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of
      June 25, 2008 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among the Borrowers,
      the Lender, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as Administrative
      Agent, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, HSBC Bank USA, National
      Association, as documentation agent, and certain other parties thereto;
      and

            
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                        (b)  interest
      on the principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding at the times
      and at the rate provided in the Credit Agreement.

            
	 
      	 
      


    

              This
Revolving Credit Note, together with the other Revolving Credit Notes issued as
of the date hereof under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Substitute
Revolving Credit Notes"), are issued in substitution for the unpaid
principal balances outstanding under all of the Revolving Credit Notes
previously issued by the Borrower under the Second Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of December 16, 2004 (the
"2004
Revolving Credit Notes"), which 2004 Revolving Credit Notes are
outstanding as of the date hereof.  Up to the full amount of the
principal balances of the Substitute Revolving Credit Notes, the principal
balances outstanding under the 2004 Revolving Credit Notes shall continue in all
respects to be outstanding under the Substitute Revolving Credit Notes, and this
Revolving Credit Note shall not be deemed to evidence a novation or payment and
refunding of any part of the outstanding principal balances under the 2004
Revolving Credit Notes.  Notwithstanding the date of this Revolving
Credit Note, the Substitute Revolving Credit Notes carry all of the rights to
unpaid interest that were carried by the 2004 Revolving Credit Notes such that
no loss of interest shall result from any such substitution.

    


              This
Revolving Credit Note evidences borrowings under and has been issued by the
Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The
Lender and any holder hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement or by operation of
law is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and may enforce the agreements of the

    


    -

    Borrower
contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the respective remedies
provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof, all in
accordance with the respective terms thereof.  All capitalized terms
used in this Revolving Credit Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.

    


              The
Borrowers irrevocably authorize the Lender to make or cause to be made, at or
about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or at the time
of receipt of any payment of principal of this Revolving Credit Note, an
appropriate notation on the grid attached to this Revolving Credit Note, or the
continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer
records, reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may
be) the receipt of such payment.  The outstanding amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Revolving Credit
Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including
computer records, maintained by the Lender with respect to any Revolving Credit
Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the
principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure to
record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid,
continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrowers hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of
principal of and interest on this Revolving Credit Note when due to the extent
of the unpaid principal and interest amount as of any date of
determination.

    


              The
Borrowers have the right in certain circumstances and the obligation under
certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal of this
Revolving Credit Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit
Agreement.

    


              If
any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Revolving Credit Note and all of the unpaid interest
accrued thereon and any other charges or amounts due under any of the Loan
Documents may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Credit Agreement.

    


              No
delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising
any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other
rights of the Lender or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on
any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any
further occasion.

    


              The
Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Revolving Credit Note or the
obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and
all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Revolving Credit Note, and assents
to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence,
to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or
release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily
liable.

    


              THIS REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE AND THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING THE
LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW).  EACH OF THE BORROWERS
AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE MAY BE
BROUGHT IN

    


    -

    THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL
COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING
MADE UPON THE BORROWERS BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN §20 OF THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT.  EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR
THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

    


              This
Revolving Credit Note shall be deemed to take effect as a sealed instrument
under the laws of the State of New York.

              FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned SOVRAN SELF STORAGE, INC., a Maryland
corporation ("Sovran"), and the
undersigned SOVRAN ACQUISITION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited
partnership ("SALP" and together
with Sovran, collectively referred to herein as the "Borrowers" and
individually as a "Borrower"), hereby
jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of                ,
[a national banking association] (the "Lender") at the
Administrative Agent's Head Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined
below):

    


    
      	 
      	
                        (a)  prior
      to or on the Term Maturity Date the principal amount of                     
      Dollars ($__________) which principal amount is the portion of the
      Term Loan advanced by the Lender to the Borrowers pursuant to the Third
      Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of
      June 25, 2008 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrowers, the
      Lender, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as Administrative Agent,
      SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, HSBC Bank USA, National Association,
      as documentation agent, and certain other parties
  thereto;

            
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                        (b)  the
      principal outstanding hereunder from time to time at the times provided in
      the Credit Agreement; and

            
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                        (c)  interest
      from the date hereof on the principal balance hereof from time to time
      outstanding at the times and at the rate or rates provided in the Credit
      Agreement and any other sums or fees due thereunder, all in accordance
      with the Credit Agreement.

            
	 
      	 
      


    

              This
Term Note, together with the other Term Notes issued as of the date hereof under
the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Substitute Term
Notes"), are issued in substitution for the unpaid principal balances
outstanding under all of the Term Notes previously issued by the Borrower under
the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated
as of December 16, 2004 (the "2004 Term
Notes"), which 2004 Term Notes are outstanding as of the date
hereof.  Up to the full amount of the principal balances of the
Substitute Term Notes, the principal balances outstanding under the 2004 Term
Notes shall continue in all respects to be outstanding under the Substitute Term
Notes, and this Term Note shall not be deemed to evidence a novation or payment
and refunding of any part of the outstanding principal balances under the 2004
Term Notes.  Notwithstanding the date of this Term Note, the
Substitute Term Notes carry all of the rights to unpaid interest that were
carried by the 2004 Term Notes such that no loss of interest shall result from
any such substitution.

              This
Term Note evidences borrowings under and has been issued by the Borrowers in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The Lender and any
holder hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement or by operation of law is
entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained therein, and any holder
hereof may exercise the respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise
available in respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms
thereof.  All capitalized terms used in this Term Note and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit
Agreement.

    


              The
Borrowers irrevocably authorize the Lender to make or cause to be made, at or
about the time of the Drawdown Date of the Term Loan or at the time of receipt
of any payment of principal of this Term Note, an appropriate notation on the
grid attached to this Term Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other
similar record, including computer records, reflecting the making of such Term
Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.  The
outstanding amount of the Term Loan set forth on the grid attached to this Term
Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including
computer records, maintained by the Lender with respect to the Term Loan shall
be prima facie evidence of the
principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure to
record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid,
continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrowers hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement to make payments of
principal of and interest on this Term Note when due to the extent of the unpaid
principal and interest amount as of any date of determination.

    


              The
Borrowers have the right in certain circumstances and the obligation under
certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal of this
Term Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit
Agreement.

    


              If
any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Term Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued
thereon and any other charges or amounts due under any of the Loan Documents may
become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
in the Credit Agreement.

    


              No
delay or omission on the part of the Lender, or any holder hereof in exercising
any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other
rights of the Lender or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on
any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any
further occasion.

    


              The
Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Term Note or the obligations
represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement of this Term Note, and assents to any extension or
postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release
of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.

    


              THIS TERM NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF
THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING

    


    -

    THE
LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW).  EACH OF THE BORROWERS
AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS TERM NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL
COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING
MADE UPON THE BORROWERS BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN §20 OF THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT.  EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR
THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

    


              This
Term Note shall be deemed to take effect as a sealed instrument under the laws
of the State of New York.

              Guaranty,
dated as of                            __,
20  
by                        ,
a                                       
(the "Guarantor"), in favor
of each of the Agents and the Lenders (each as defined herein) and Manufacturers
and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together
with its successors and assigns, the "Administrative
Agent") for itself and for the other financial institutions
(collectively, the "Lenders") which are
or may become parties to the Third Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 25, 2008 among
Sovran Self Storage, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Sovran"), Sovran
Acquisition Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (together with
Sovran, collectively referred to herein as the "Borrowers"), the
Administrative Agent, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent (in such capacity, the
"Syndication
Agent"), HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as documentation agent (in
such capacity, the "Documentation Agent",
and collectively with the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent, the
"Agents") and
the Lenders, as the same may hereafter be amended from time to time (the "Credit
Agreement").  Capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

    


              WHEREAS,
the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders have entered into the Credit
Agreement;

    


              WHEREAS,
the Borrowers and the Guarantor are members of a group of related entities, the
success of either one of which is dependent in part on the success of the other
members of such group;

    


              WHEREAS,
the Guarantor expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from
the extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit
Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged);

    


              WHEREAS,
it is a condition precedent to the Agents' and the Lenders' willingness to
extend, and to continue to extend, credit to the Borrowers under the Credit
Agreement that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty; and

    


              WHEREAS,
the Guarantor wishes to guaranty the Borrowers' obligations to the Lenders and
the Agents under and in respect of the Credit Agreement as herein
provided.

    


              NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

    


              1.     Guaranty of Payment and
Performance of Obligations.  In consideration of the Lenders'
extending credit or otherwise in their discretion giving time, financial or
banking facilities or accommodations to the Borrowers, the Guarantor hereby
unconditionally guarantees

    


    -
1 -

    


    to
each Agent and Lender that the Borrowers will duly and punctually pay or
perform, at the place specified therefor, or if no place is specified, at the
Administrative Agent's Head Office, (i) all indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities of the Borrowers to any of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent,
individually or collectively, under the Credit Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or in respect of any of the Loans or the Notes or other
instruments at any time evidencing any thereof, whether existing on the date of
the Credit Agreement or arising or incurred thereafter, direct or indirect,
secured or unsecured, joint or several, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by contract, operation of law or
otherwise; and (ii) without limitation of the foregoing, all reasonable
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in
attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing, accrued in each case to
the date of payment hereunder (collectively the "Obligations" and
individually an "Obligation").  This
Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and
punctual payment and performance by the Borrowers of the Obligations and not of
their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that
any Lender or the Administrative Agent first attempt to collect any of the
Obligations from the Borrowers or resort to any security or other means of
obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which any Lender or the
Administrative Agent now has or may acquire after the date hereof or upon any
other contingency whatsoever.  Upon any Event of Default which is
continuing by the Borrowers in the full and punctual payment and performance of
the Obligations, the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder
shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, become forthwith due and
payable to the Administrative Agent and to the Lender or Lenders owed the same
without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by the
Guarantor, except for notices required to be given to the Borrowers under the
Loan Documents.  Payments by the Guarantor hereunder may be required
by any Lender or the Administrative Agent on any number of
occasions.

    


              2.     Guarantor's Further
Agreements to Pay.  The Guarantor further agrees, as the
principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to each Lender and the
Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand, in funds immediately available to
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, all costs and expenses (including court
costs and legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender in connection with this Guaranty and the enforcement
hereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from
the time after such amounts become due at the default rate of interest set forth
in the Credit Agreement; provided that if such
interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law,
then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted
amount.

    


              3.     Payments.  The
Guarantor covenants and agrees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in
accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or
order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms
or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect
thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Guarantor's obligations hereunder with respect to any Obligation shall not be
discharged by a payment in a currency other than the currency in which the
Obligation is denominated (the "Obligation Currency")
or at a place other than the place specified for the payment of the Obligation,
whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so
paid on conversion to the Obligation Currency and transferred to New York,
New

    


    -

    York,
U.S.A., under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of Obligation
Currency due thereunder.

    


              4.     Taxes.

    


    
      	 
      	
                        (a)     All
      payments hereunder shall be made without any counterclaim or set-off, free
      and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, levies,
      imposts, charges and withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any
      nature ("Taxes"), which are now or
      may hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed by the United States or any
      political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (or any non-United
      States jurisdiction in which there is Real Estate) on payments hereunder,
      all of which will be for the account of and paid by the
      Guarantor.  Subject to paragraph (b), if for any reason,
      any such reduction is made or any Taxes are paid by the Administrative
      Agent or any Lender (except for taxes on income or profits of such
      Administrative Agent or Lender), Guarantor will pay to the Administrative
      Agent or such Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure
      that the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives the same net amount
      which it would have received had no reduction been made or Taxes
      paid.

            
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                        (b)     Guarantor
      shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender that is
      not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States of
      America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Lender") in respect of United
      States Federal withholding tax to the extent that (i) the obligation
      to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax
      existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to the Credit
      Agreement or, with respect to payments to a different lending office
      designated by the Non-U.S. Lender as its applicable lending office (a
      "New Lending Office"), the date such
      Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to the
      Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, however, that this
      clause (i) shall not apply to any transferee or New Lending Office as
      a result of an assignment, transfer or designation made at the request of
      the Borrowers; and provided further, however, that this clause (i)
      shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts
      any transferee, or Lender through a New Lending Office, would be entitled
      to receive without regard to this clause (i) do not exceed the
      indemnity payment or additional amounts that the entity making the
      assignment or transfer to such transferee, or Lender making the
      designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to
      receive in the absence of such assignment, transfer or designation; or
      (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have
      arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to deliver completed
      copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or to
      comply with all the other requirements of §4.2(c) of the Credit
      Agreement.

            
	 
      	 
      


    

              5.     Consent to
Jurisdiction.  The Guarantor agrees that any suit for the
enforcement of this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought
in the courts of the State of

    


    


    


    -
3 -

    


    New
York sitting in New York, New York or any federal court sitting in New York, New
York and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and the
service of process in any such suit being made upon the Guarantor by mail at the
address specified herein.  Except to the extent such waiver is
expressly prohibited by law, the Guarantor hereby waives any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or
that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.

    


              6.     Liability of the
Guarantor.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender have and
shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of the Guarantor
hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or
remedy under any other guaranty, and the release or discharge of any guarantor
of any Obligations shall not affect the continuing liability of the Guarantor
hereunder.

    


              7.     Representations and
Warranties; Covenants.  The Guarantor hereby makes and confirms
the representations and warranties made on its behalf by the Borrowers pursuant
to §7 of the Credit Agreement, as if such representations and warranties were
set forth herein.  The Guarantor hereby agrees to perform the
covenants set forth in §§8 and 9 of the Credit Agreement (to the extent such
covenants expressly apply to the Guarantor) as if such covenants were set forth
herein.  The Guarantor acknowledges that it is, on a collective basis
with the Borrowers and all other "Guarantors" (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), bound by the covenants set forth in §9 of the Credit
Agreement.  The Guarantor hereby confirms that it shall be bound by
all acts or omissions of the Borrower Representative pursuant to the Credit
Agreement.

    


              8.     Effectiveness.  The
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue in full force
and effect and shall remain in operation until all of the Obligations shall have
been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied, and continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction
of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Borrowers, or
otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction
occurred.  No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the
Obligations by reason of applicable bankruptcy laws or any other similar law, or
by reason of any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to
reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations, shall impair, affect, be a
defense to or claim against the obligations of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty.

    


              9.     Freedom of Lender to Deal
with Borrowers and Other Parties.  The Administrative Agent and
each Lender shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the
assent of the Guarantor and without relieving the Guarantor of any liability
hereunder, to deal with the Borrowers and with each other party who now is or
after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations,
in such manner as the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion
deems fit, and to this end the Guarantor gives to the Administrative Agent and
each Lender full authority in its sole discretion to do any or all of the
following things: (a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial
accommodations to the Borrowers at such times, in such amounts and on such terms
as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may approve, (b) vary the terms
and grant extensions of any present or future indebtedness or obligation of
the

    


    -
4 -

    


    


    Borrowers
or of any other party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, (c) grant
time, waivers and other indulgences in respect thereto, (d) vary, exchange,
release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain from
perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means of obtaining
payment of any of the Obligations which the Administrative Agent or any Lender
now has or may acquire after the date hereof, (e) accept partial payments
from the Borrowers or any such other party, (f) release or discharge,
wholly or partially, any endorser or guarantor, and (g) compromise or make
any settlement or other arrangement with the Borrowers or any such other
party.

    


              10.     Unenforceability of
Obligations Against Borrowers; Invalidity of Security or Other
Guaranties.  If for any reason the Borrowers have no legal
existence or are under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations
undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or if any of
the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the
Borrowers by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall
nevertheless be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if the Guarantor
at all times had been the principal debtor on all such
Obligations.  This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty
or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or
rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or
security.

    


              11.     Waivers by
Guarantor.  The Guarantor waives notice of acceptance hereof,
notice of any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
in reliance hereon, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender be diligent or prompt in making demands hereunder, giving notice of any
default by the Borrowers or asserting any other rights of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender hereunder.  The Guarantor also irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses in the nature of suretyship
that at any time may be available in respect of the Guarantor's obligations
hereunder by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium
law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect.

    


              12.     Waiver of Subrogation
Rights.  Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary
contained herein or provided by applicable law, unless and until all of the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full,
the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have at any
time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or by
contract) to assert any claim against the Borrowers on account of payments made
under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any and all rights of or
claims for subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity,
and further waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral
which may be held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any affiliate of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  In addition, the Guarantor
will not claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrowers in respect of
any liability it may have to the Borrowers unless and until all of the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in
full.

    


              13.     Demands.  Any
demand on or notice made or required to be given pursuant to this Guaranty shall
be in writing and shall be delivered in hand, mailed by United States registered

              Paula Hilley and Joel Hilley v. Sovran Acquisition
      Limited Partnership d/b/a

              Uncle Bob's Self Storage

            
	 
      	 
      
	
              On
      August 7, 2007, plaintiffs filed a collective action under the
      Fair Labor Standards Act in the United States District Court for the
      Northern District of Alabama, Southern Division alleging that managers,
      assistant managers and maintenance employees at Sovran facilities
      throughout the United States have been required to perform work for which
      they were not paid and denied overtime compensation.  The
      proceeding as a collective action is subject to Court
      approval.  The complaint seeks unpaid overtime, liquidated
      damages in the amount of any unpaid overtime, interest and attorneys'
      fees.  Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership ("SALP") has
      answered the complaint denying the allegations, discovery is being
      conducted and the plaintiffs have initiated settlement
      discussions.  SALP intends to defend the action
      vigorously.  While the ultimate outcome cannot be predicted,
      SALP and Sovran Self Storage, Inc. ("Sovran Inc.") do not believe this
      action is sufficiently material to warrant disclosure on a Sovran Inc.
      Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange
    Commission.
