     (a) The Borrowers have irrevocably delivered a Drawdown Request to the
Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Drawdown Date specified
therein and such Drawdown Request is attached hereto as Annex A. Each Lender,
relying upon each of the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties in

Loans (subject to such reduction and prepayments as hereinafter set forth)
together with all Obligations then due and payable on the Maturity Date.

     (c) Such Additional Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof and, subject to the terms of this Agreement relating to
prepayments of Loans and the acceleration of maturities, such interest shall be

Schedule 1 hereto. If, on any Payment Date, the outstanding principal amount of
such Additional Loan and the other Loans as of such date exceeds the Aggregate
Loan Commitment (as scheduled to be reduced on such Payment Date), then the
Borrowers shall, on such Payment Date, make a mandatory repayment of the Loans
equal to the Reduction Amount.

     (e) As long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Borrower shall have the right, upon sixty (60) days prior
written notice to the Agent and the Lenders, to prepay on any Payment Date the
aggregate outstanding principal balance (but not less than the entire aggregate
outstanding principal balance, subject to the next succeeding sentence) of all
Loans together with the Make-Whole Amount therefor. With the prior written
consent of the Agent and as long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred

the outstanding principal balance of the Additional Loan, together with the
Make-Whole Amount therefor. For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount
for the Additional Loan, "Make-Whole Amount" shall mean a prepayment premium
equal to (i) three percent (3.0%) of the principal amount prepaid if prepaid
during the period from the Drawdown Date specified in Annex A hereto to the
first anniversary of such Drawdown Date, (ii) two percent (2.0%) of the
principal amount prepaid if prepaid during the period from the first anniversary
of such Drawdown Date to the second anniversary of such Drawdown Date, (iii) one
percent (1.0%) of the principal amount prepaid if prepaid during the period from
the second anniversary of such Drawdown Date to the third anniversary of such
Drawdown Date, and (iv) zero percent (0.0%) of the principal amount prepaid if
prepaid after the third anniversary of such Drawdown Date.

     (f) Upon issuance of the Additional Loan Note representing such Additional
Loan, the Agent shall register GMAC Commercial Finance LLC and its successors
and assigns as the registered holder of such Additional Loan Note in the
Register. The Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers to endorse such
Additional Loan Note and the Agent's record shall be conclusive absent manifest

making, any such recordation or; notation with respect to such Additional Loan
