an aggregate amount not exceeding such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
amount of the Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in subsection
2.6A. The original amount of each Lender's Commitment (including such Lender's
share of the Existing Loans) and such Lender's Pro Rata Share is set forth
opposite its name on Schedule 2.2 annexed hereto and the aggregate original
amount of the Commitments (including the Lenders' Commitment to purchase the
Existing Loans) is $200,000,000; provided, however, that the Commitments of the


                                       49
<PAGE>   61
Lenders shall be adjusted from time to time to give effect to any assignments of
the Commitments pursuant to subsection 8.1; provided further, however, that the
amount of the Commitments shall be automatically reduced by the amount of any
reductions to the Commitments made pursuant to subsection 2.5B.

         Each Lender's Commitment shall expire on the Maturity Date and all
Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Loans and the
Commitments shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

         Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Loans and the Commitments shall be subject to the limitations that the Total
Utilization of the Commitments shall not exceed the least of (i) the Borrowing
Base, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments then in effect and (iii) the
aggregate amount of title insurance pursuant to Title Policies delivered
pursuant to subsections 2.10A(vi) and 3.1F(v) and (xiii).

         B. BORROWING MECHANICS. Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an
aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000. The Company shall be permitted to
request a Loan pursuant to this subsection 2.2B only four times during any 30
day period. Whenever the Company desires that the Lenders make Loans, it shall
deliver to the Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York
time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date with
respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or, in the case of a Loan bearing interest
with reference to the Base Rate, one Business Day in advance of the proposed
Funding Date.

         Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date
(which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of Loans requested, (iii)
whether such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans (it being
understood that all Loans shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans except as otherwise
expressly permitted or required hereunder), (iv) if such Loan is a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, (v) that not more
than three other Funding Dates shall have occurred within the 30 days next
preceding the proposed Funding Date, and (vi) that the amount of the proposed
Loan will not cause the Total Utilization of the Commitments to exceed the
Borrowing Base then in effect.

         The Company may give the Agent telephonic notice by the required time
of any proposed Loan under this subsection 2.2B; provided, however, that such
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of
Borrowing to the Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date. Neither the
Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Company in acting upon any
telephonic notice referred to above that the Agent believes in good faith to
have been given by a duly Authorized Officer or other Person authorized to
borrow on behalf of the Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this
subsection 2.2B, and upon funding of Loans by the Lenders in accordance with
this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice the Company shall have
effected Loans hereunder.


                                       50
<PAGE>   62
         The Company shall notify the Agent (who shall notify the Lenders) prior
to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which the
Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no
longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by
the Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by
the Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which the
Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

         Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.7B and 2.7C, a Notice of
Borrowing for a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof)
shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date,
and the Company shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

         C. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. All Loans under this Agreement shall be made
by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata
Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default
by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a
result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to
make a Loan requested hereunder. Promptly after receipt by the Agent of a Notice
of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.2B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof),
the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Loan. Each Lender shall make
its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Loan available to the Agent,
in same day funds, at the office of the Agent located at One Bankers Trust
Plaza, New York, New York, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the
applicable Funding Date in same day funds in Dollars. Upon satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsections 3.1 and 3.2 (in the
case of Loans made on the Restatement Closing Date) and 3.2 (in the case of all
Loans), the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to the Company
on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds equal to
the proceeds of all such Loans received by the Agent from the Lenders to be
transferred to the account designated in the Notice of Borrowing.

         Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the
Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to
the Agent the amount of such Lender's Loan requested on such Funding Date, the
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent on
such Funding Date and the Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, make available to the Company a corresponding amount on such
Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the
Agent by such Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day
from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base
Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the
Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent together
with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such
amount is paid to the Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base
Rate Loans. Nothing in this



                                       51
<PAGE>   63
subsection 2.2C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to
fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Company may
have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

         D. DEFAULTING LENDERS.

         Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that any Lender (a "DEFAULTING LENDER") defaults (a "FUNDING DEFAULT") in its
obligation to fund any Loan (a "DEFAULTED LOAN") in accordance with subsection
2.1 then (i) during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender"
for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or
waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, (ii) to the extent permitted
by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess (as defined below) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (a) any
voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.5B(i) shall, if
Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied
to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans
outstanding and the Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (b)
any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.5B(iv) or
subsection 2.5B(v) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such
mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the
Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all
Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that
Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of
the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the
operation of the provisions of this clause (b), (iii) such Defaulting Lender's
Commitment and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating
the commitment fee payable to Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.4A in respect of
any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and
such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee
pursuant to subsection 2.4A with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment
in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and
(iv) the Total Utilization as at any date of determination shall be calculated
as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting
Lender.

         For purposes of this Agreement, (I) "DEFAULT PERIOD" means, with
respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the
applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates:
(A) the date on which all Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the
Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable, (B) the date on
which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have
been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any
Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of
any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the terms
of this subsection 2.2D or by a combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting
Lender shall have delivered to Company and Agent a written reaffirmation of its
intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its
Commitment, and (C) the date on which Company and Agent waive all Funding
Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (II) "DEFAULT EXCESS" means,
with



                                       52
<PAGE>   64
respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans
of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (other than such
Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Loans) over the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

         No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected,
and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection 2.2D, performance
by Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default
or the operation of this subsection 2.2D. The rights and remedies against a
Defaulting Lender under this subsection 2.2D are in addition to other rights and
remedies which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to
any Funding Default and which Agent or any Lender may have against such
Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

         E. THE REGISTER.

                  (i) The Agent shall maintain, at its address referred to in
         subsection 8.8, a register for the recordation of the names and
         addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment and Loans of each Lender
         from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The Company, the Agent and the
         Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
         a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
         shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any
         reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                  (ii) The Agent shall record in the Register the Commitment and
         the Loans from time to time of each Lender, and each repayment or
         prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each
         Lender. Any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of such
         matters as against the Company and each Lender, absent manifest error;
         provided, however, that failure to make any such recordation, or any
         error in such recordation, shall not affect the Company's Obligations
         in respect of the applicable Loans.

                  (iii) Each Lender shall record on its internal records
         (including any promissory note described in subsection 2.2E(iv)) the
         amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Any
         such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of such matters as
         against the Company absent manifest error; provided, however, that
         failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation,
         shall not affect the Company's Obligations in respect of the applicable
         Loans; provided further, however, that in the event of any
         inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the
         recordations in the Register shall govern, absent manifest error.

                  (iv) Any Lender may, by notice to the Agent and the Company,
         request that all or part of the principal amount of the Company's Loans
         from such Lender hereunder




                                       53
<PAGE>   65
         be evidenced by a Note. Within three Business Days of the Company's
         receipt of such notice, the Company shall execute and deliver to the
         Agent for delivery to the appropriate Lender a Note in the principal
         amount(s) of such Loans, payable to the notifying Lender or, if so
         specified in such notice, any Person who is an assignee of such Lender
         pursuant to subsection 8.1 hereof. If the foreclosure or other
         enforcement of any Mortgage or any other Security Document requires the
         presentation of a Note evidencing the Obligations secured by such
         Security Document and the Company fails or refuses to comply with a
         request for such Note, then a copy of this Agreement may be presented
         in lieu of such a Note.

         F. EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE. At any time that is not more than 180
days and not less than 90 days before the fourth Anniversary, the Company may
deliver a written notice to the Agent requesting that the Maturity Date be
extended from the fourth Anniversary to the fifth Anniversary and, if such
notice is delivered, the Maturity Date shall be so extended provided that the
following conditions are satisfied:

                                 (i) as of the fourth Anniversary, no Potential
                  Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
                  be continuing and the Company shall have delivered an
                  Officer's Certificate certifying thereto; provided that, if a
                  Potential Event of Default (but not any Event of Default)
                  exists on the fourth Anniversary, the conditions set forth in
                  this clause (i) shall be satisfied if, on the date that is 30
                  days after the fourth Anniversary, no Potential Event of
                  Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing and the Company shall have delivered an Officer's
                  Certificate certifying thereto;

                                (ii) on or prior to the fourth Anniversary, the
                  Company shall have paid to the Agent in immediately available
                  funds, for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with
                  their Pro Rata Shares, a fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate
                  principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the fourth
                  Anniversary; and

                               (iii) after giving effect to the proposed
                  extension, the date on which any Capital Stock or other
                  Security issued by any Loan Party by its terms (or by the
                  terms of any Security into which it is convertible or for
                  which it is exchangeable), or upon the happening of any event,
                  matures or is mandatorily redeemable, pursuant to a sinking
                  fund or otherwise, or otherwise redeemable, in Cash at the
                  option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part, shall not
                  be a date that is prior to the Maturity Date, as so extended.

2.3      INTEREST ON THE LOANS.

         A. RATE OF INTEREST. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.3E, 2.7
and 2.8, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof
from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a
rate determined by reference to the Adjusted




                                       54
<PAGE>   66
         Eurodollar Rate; provided, however, that in the event that any Loan is
         to be made on a day when there are already five (5) Interest Periods
         outstanding, such Loan shall bear interest at a rate determined by
         reference to the Base Rate until the commencement of the next
         succeeding Interest Period, at which time such Loan shall be converted
         (automatically and without the necessity of any action on the part of
         any Person) to a Eurodollar Rate Loan in accordance with subsection
         2.3D. The basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any
         Loan shall be changed from time to time in accordance with subsection
         2.3D.

         Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.3E, 2.5B(iv) and 2.8, the
Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:

                  (i) if a Base Rate Loan, then at a rate equal to the Base Rate
         plus 1.00%.

                  (ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then at the sum of the
         Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2.00%.

         B. INTEREST PERIODS. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, the
Company shall, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an "INTEREST
PERIOD") to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be at the
Company's option a one, two or three month period; provided, however, that:

                  (i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan
         shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan;

                  (ii) each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day
         on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

                  (iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day
         that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the
         next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that, if any Interest
         Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but
         is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in
         such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding
         Business Day;

                  (iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day
         of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
         corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest
         Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.3B, end on
         the last Business Day of a calendar month;

                  (v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the
         Loans shall extend beyond the Maturity Date;

                  (vi) there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods
         outstanding at any time;



                                       55
<PAGE>   67
                  (vii) if five Interest Periods are outstanding, at least one
         Interest Period shall be either (a) a one month Interest Period or (b)
         an Interest Period with less than 30 days remaining; and

                  (viii) in the event the Company shall fail to specify an
         Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of
         Borrowing or Notice of Continuation, the Company shall be deemed to
         have selected an Interest Period of one month.

         C. INTEREST PAYMENTS. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.3E,
interest on the Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on and to each Payment
Date, upon any prepayment of the Loans (to the extent accrued on the amount
being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity).

         D. CONVERSION/CONTINUATION. Subject to the provisions of subsections
2.3E and 2.7, each Base Rate Loan shall be automatically converted into a
Eurodollar Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period,
but in any event within 30 days of the making of such Base Rate Loan; provided,
however, that, unless expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, no Loan
may be made as a Base Rate Loan during the period from December 24 of any year
to and including January 7 of the next succeeding year.

         Upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the Company shall continue such Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. The
Company shall deliver a Notice of Continuation to the Agent no later than 10:00
A.M. (New York) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed
continuation date for the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan. A Notice of
Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed continuation date (which shall be a
Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Eurodollar Rate Loan to be
continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed continuation, (iv) the requested
Interest Period (which, if a Potential Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing shall be a one month period), and (v) that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of
Continuation, the Company may give the Agent telephonic notice by the required
time of any proposed continuation under this subsection 2.3D; provided, however,
that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice
of Continuation to the Agent on or before the proposed continuation date. Upon
receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed continuation under this
subsection 2.3D, the Agent shall promptly transmit such notice by telefacsimile
or telephone to each Lender.

         Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the
Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Agent
believes in good faith to have been given by a duly Authorized Officer or other
Person authorized to act on behalf of the Company or for otherwise acting in
good faith under this subsection 2.3D, and upon continuation of the applicable
basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance
with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice the Company shall
have effected a continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.





                                       56
<PAGE>   68
         Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.3E, 2.7B and 2.7C, a
Notice of Continuation for continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic
notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest
Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to effect a continuation in
accordance therewith.

         E. DEFAULT RATE INTEREST. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of all
Loans and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any interest payments
thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts then due and payable
hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in
any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws)
payable upon demand at a rate that is 3% per annum in excess of the interest
rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans
(or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 3% per
annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for
Base Rate Loans); provided, however, that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans,
if such Event of Default is continuing, upon the expiration of the Interest
Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective,
such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall
thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 3% per annum in
excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate
Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in
this subsection 2.3E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall
not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit
any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

         F. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i)
in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as
the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of
a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period
during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the
making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such
Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration
date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided,
however, that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's
interest shall be paid on that Loan.

2.4      FEES.

         A. COMMITMENT FEES. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for
distribution to each Lender in proportion to that Lender's Pro Rata Share,
commitment fees for the period from and including the Restatement Closing Date
to and excluding the Maturity Date, equal to (i) the average of the daily unused
portion of the Commitments, multiplied by (ii) 0.25% per annum, such commitment
fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of
days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
Restatement Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, for purposes of calculating the
commitment fees payable by the Company pursuant to this subsection 2.4A, the
"unused portion of the Commitments," as of any date if determination, shall be
an



                                       57
<PAGE>   69
amount equal to the aggregate amount of Commitments as of such date minus the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans on such date. The commitment
fee shall be payable as provided in this subsection notwithstanding that the
amount available to be borrowed hereunder may be less than the amount of the
Commitments due to the operation of the Borrowing Base.

         B. OTHER FEES. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent such other fees
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the
Company and the Agent.

; provided that the scheduled reductions of the Commitments set forth above
shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory reductions of the
Commitments in accordance with subsection 2.5B(viii).

         B.       PREPAYMENTS AND UNSCHEDULED REDUCTIONS IN COMMITMENTS.

                  (i) Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may, upon not less than
         one Business Day's prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of
         Base Rate Loans, and three Business Days' prior written or telephonic
         notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case confirmed in
         writing to the Agent (which notice the Agent will promptly transmit by
         telecopy, telex or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time
         to time prepay any Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an
         aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
         $500,000 in excess of that amount (or, if less, the total amount of all
         outstanding Loans); provided, however, that in the event a Eurodollar
         Rate Loan is prepaid on a day other than the last day of the Interest
         Period applicable thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the
         payment of any amounts payable under subsection 2.7D. Notice of
         prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the
         Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the
         prepayment date specified therein; provided, however, that in the case
         of any such withdrawal, the Company shall promptly pay all amounts then
         due to the Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.7D. Any such voluntary
         prepayment shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.5B(vii).
         Amounts prepaid pursuant to this subsection 2.5B(i) may be reborrowed
         pursuant to subsection 2.2A.




                                       58

                  (ii) Voluntary Reductions of Commitments. The Company may,
         upon not less than three Business Days' prior written or telephonic
         notice confirmed in writing to the Agent (which notice the Agent will
         promptly transmit by telecopy, telex or telephone (confirmed in
         writing) to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate
         in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the
         Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Commitments
         exceed the Total Utilization of Commitments; provided, however, that
         any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an aggregate
         minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
         excess of that amount. The Company's notice to the Agent shall
         designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination
         or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such
         termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the
         date specified in the Company's notice and shall reduce the Commitment
         of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share. Any such
         voluntary reduction of the Commitments shall be applied as specified in
         subsection 2.5B(viii).

                  (iii) Reductions in Borrowing Base Due to Casualty,
         Condemnation or Disposition of a Designated Mortgaged Property. If
         there shall occur a casualty or Taking with respect to any Designated
         Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) or a sale or other
         permanent disposition of such Designated Mortgaged Property, with
         respect to which occurrence a prepayment is required to be made, then
         the Borrowing Base shall be recomputed as of such date, after giving
         effect to any reduction in the related Property EBITDA or Release.

                  (iv) Prepayments Due to Borrowing Base. If at any time the
         Total Utilization exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect, as
         demonstrated by a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered (or required to
         be delivered) pursuant to subsection 5.1(ii), the Company shall prepay
         the Loans in an amount equal to such excess not later than 5 Business
         Days after the date that such Borrowing Base Certificate shall have
         been delivered (or, if such Borrowing Base Certificate shall not have
         been delivered) timely or at all, on the last day that such Borrowing
         Base Certificate is permitted by subsection 5.1(ii) to be delivered).
         Any mandatory prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.5B(iv) shall be
         applied as specified in subsection 2.5B(vii).

                  (v) Prepayments from Asset Sales. At any time prior to the
         date which is 364 days following the date of receipt of such Net Cash
         Proceeds from an Asset Sale by any Loan Party or any of its
         Subsidiaries but in any event not later than the day before the day on
         which the Company shall be obligated to pay any amount of such Net Cash
         Proceeds (or other amount determined by reference to such Net Cash
         Proceeds) to satisfy all or part of any other obligation that may
         become due by reason of such sale or other disposition other than any
         Indebtedness secured by the assets from which such Net Cash Proceeds
         were derived, the Company may spend all or any part of Net Cash
         Proceeds (or other amount determined by reference to such Net Cash
         Proceeds) on a Renovation or Restoration permitted hereunder or
         otherwise invest such amounts in property or assets used in a
         Hospitality-Related Business; provided that if an Event of Default
         resulting



                                       59
<PAGE>   71
         from a failure to pay principal or interest hereunder has occurred and
         is continuing, the Company shall not use any part of such Net Cash
         Proceeds to make any capital expenditures for any purpose (including,
         without limitation, the investment of any amount in any property or
         assets used in a Hospitality-Related Business, but excluding the
         purchase of FF&E and expenditures in furtherance of any Renovation or
         Restoration of any Property (including any Property that is not a
         Mortgaged Property) that shall have commenced before the occurrence of
         such Event of Default and that cannot be terminated without material
         cost to the Company or a material adverse effect on the Property)
         unless and until the Company shall have prepaid the Loans in the
         amounts required by, and in accordance with the provisions of, the
         sentence next following. Any amounts not expended in accordance with
         the preceding sentence at the earlier of (i) the day before the day on
         which the Company is obligated to apply such amounts to satisfy all or
         part of any other obligation that may become due by reason of such sale
         or other disposition, other than any Indebtedness secured by the assets
         from which such Net Cash Proceeds were derived, or (ii) the date that
         is 365 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, shall be
         applied to prepay the Loans and the Commitments shall be automatically
         and permanently reduced by the aggregate amount of such prepayments.
         Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this
         subsection 2.5B(v), the Company shall deliver to the Agent an Officer's
         Certificate demonstrating the derivation of the Net Cash Proceeds. Any
         mandatory prepayments pursuant to this subsection 2.5B(v) shall be
         applied as specified in subsection 2.5(B)(vii). Net Cash Proceeds from
         the sale of more than one Property shall be deemed expended in the
         order in which such amounts were received by the applicable Loan Party
         or Subsidiary.

                  (vi) Acceleration Due to Reduction of the Facility Amount. In
         the event that the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time is
         less than $10,000,000, whether due to a prepayment or reduction in the
         Commitments or otherwise, (a) the Commitments shall be automatically
         terminated and (b) the Loans outstanding and all other Obligations of
         the Company shall become immediately due and payable.

                  (vii) Application of Prepayments. Each prepayment of the Loans
         shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof
         before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner
         which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the
         Company pursuant to subsection 2.7D.

                  (viii) Application of Unscheduled Reductions of Commitments.
         Any voluntary reduction of the Commitments pursuant to subsection
         2.5B(ii) shall be applied to reduce the scheduled reductions of the
         Commitments set forth in subsection 2.5A in inverse chronological
         order.

         C. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. All payments in
respect of the principal amount of the Loans shall include payment of accrued
interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments
shall be applied to the payment of unpaid interest before application to
principal.



                                       60

         D.       GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING PAYMENTS.

                  (i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by the Company of
         principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the
         Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be made in same day funds and
         without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or
         condition, and delivered to the Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (New
         York time) on the date due at its office located at One Bankers Trust
         Plaza, New York, New York, for the account of the Lenders; funds
         received by the Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed
         to have been paid by the Company on the next succeeding Business Day.
         The Company hereby authorizes the Agent to instruct the Cash Manager to
         charge its accounts with the Cash Manager (including the Concentration
         Account and the Operating Account) in order to cause timely payment to
         be made to the Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due
         hereunder or under the Notes or the other Loan Documents (subject to
         sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

                  (ii) Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and
         interest payments shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to
         which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to the
         Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares. The Agent shall promptly
         distribute to each Lender, at its primary address set forth below its
         name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address
         as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments
         received by the Agent and the facility fees and commitment fees of such
         Lender when received by the Agent pursuant to subsection 2.4.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.5D(ii),
         if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.5C, any Affected Lender
         makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar
         Rate Loans, the Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning
         payments received thereafter.

                  (iii) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be
         made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a
         Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
         Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the
         computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

                  (iv) Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before
         disposing of the Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by
         granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation
         thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments
         previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has
         been paid; provided, however, that the failure to make (or any error in
         the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not
         limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or
         under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments of principal
         or interest on such Note.

2.6      USE OF PROCEEDS.

         A. LOANS. Subject to subsection 2.6B, the proceeds of the Loans shall
be applied by the Company for the general corporate purposes of the Company.

         B. MARGIN REGULATIONS. No portion of the proceeds of any Loan under
this Agreement shall be used by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in any
manner that might cause the Loan to violate Regulation G, Regulation U,
Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in
each case as in effect on the date or dates of the making of such Loan.

2.7      SPECIAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the following provisions shall govern with respect to the Eurodollar Rate Loans
as to the matters covered:

         A. DETERMINATION OF APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE. As soon as practicable
after 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the
Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall
apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being
determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice
thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Company and
each Lender.

         B. INABILITY TO DETERMINE APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE. In the event that
the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall absent manifest error
be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest
Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by
reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and
fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such
Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate,
the Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to the Company and each Lender of such determination,
whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans
until such time as the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Continuation given by the Company with respect to the
Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to contain
a request that such Loans be made as or converted to Base Rate Loans.

         C. ILLEGALITY OR IMPRACTICABILITY OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. In the
event that on any date any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which
determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto
but shall be made only after consultation with the Company and the Agent) that
the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has
become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any
law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would
conflict with any such




                                       62
<PAGE>   74
treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force
of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or
(ii) has become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as
a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which
materially and adversely affect the interbank Eurodollar market, or the position
of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be
an "AFFECTED LENDER" and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or
by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Company and the Agent of such
determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each other
Lender). Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as,
or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such
notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such
determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then
being requested by the Company to be made or continued hereunder, the Affected
Lender shall make such Loan as, or convert such Loan to, as applicable, a Base
Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender's obligation to maintain its outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans (the "AFFECTED LOANS") shall be terminated at the earlier
to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to
the Affected Loans or when required by law and (d) the Affected Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination.
Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this
subsection 2.7C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected
Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate
Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Once the conditions
causing a Lender to be an Affected Lender no longer exist, such Lender shall,
promptly after it becomes aware thereof, withdraw the notice that it is an
Affected Lender by giving notice (by telecopy or by telephone confirmed in
writing) to the Company and the Agent and such Lender's obligations to make
Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall be immediately reinstated.

         D. COMPENSATION FOR BREAKAGE OR NON-COMMENCEMENT OF INTEREST PERIODS.
The Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender
(which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting
such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including
any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or
carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by
that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds)
which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by
that Lender) a borrowing or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not
occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Continuance, as applicable, or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a
conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on the
date specified therefor, (ii) if any prepayment or conversion of any of its
Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest
Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment (including any
prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.5B(i)) or other principal payment of any of
its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of
prepayment given by the Company or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by
the Company in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the
terms of this Agreement.





                                       63
<PAGE>   75
         E. BOOKING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. Any Lender may make, carry or
transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch
offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

         F. ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING FUNDING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. Calculation
of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.7 and under
subsection 2.8A shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded each of
its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit
bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition
of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar
Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and
through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of that
Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America;
provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans
in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only
for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this subsection 2.7 and
under subsection 2.8A.

2.8      INCREASED COSTS; TAXES; CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

         A. COMPENSATION FOR INCREASED COSTS AND TAXES. Subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.8B (which shall be controlling with respect to the
matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation
or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a Governmental
Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or
compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or
made after the date hereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority
or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):

                  (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to
         any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of
         such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of its obligations
         hereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending
         office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable
         hereunder;

                  (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve
         (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other
         reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar
         requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in
         or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit
         extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such
         Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect
         to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of
         Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or



                                       64
<PAGE>   76
                  (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to
         a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending
         office) or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar
         market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount
received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with
respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay to such
Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such
additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a
different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its
sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender
for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable
hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) a
written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating
the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this subsection 2.8A, which
statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent
manifest error. No Person shall be entitled to receive a payment pursuant to
this subsection 2.8A for costs incurred by such Person more than 180 days prior
to delivery of such statement.

         B.       WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

                  (i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by the
         Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid
         free and clear of and (except to the extent required by law) without
         any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax (excluding in the
         case of each Lender and the Agent, Taxes imposed on its income, and
         franchise and similar Taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the
         laws of which such Lender is organized or in which its principal
         executive office is located or in which its applicable lending office
         for funding or booking its Loans hereunder is located) imposed, levied,
         collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of
         America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of
         America.

                  (ii) Grossing-up of Payments. If the Company or any other
         Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on
         account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by the Company to
         the Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

                           (a) the Company shall notify the Agent of any such
                  requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as
                  the Company becomes aware of it;

                           (b) the Company shall pay any such Tax before the
                  date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be
                  made (if the liability to pay is imposed on the Company) for
                  its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Agent
                  or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the
                  name of the Agent or such Lender;

                           (c) the sum payable by the Company in respect of
                  which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is
                  required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
                  that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or
                  payment, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
                  receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have
                  received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been
                  required or made; and

                           (d) within 30 days after paying any sum from which it
                  is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and
                  within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which
                  it is required by clause (b) above to pay, the Company shall
                  deliver to the Agent evidence satisfactory to the other
                  affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and
                  of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other
                  authority;

         provided, however, that no such additional amount shall be required to
         be paid to any Lender under clause (c) above except to the extent that
         any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on
         the signature pages hereof) or after the date such Lender became a
         Lender pursuant to subsection 8.1 (in the case of each other Lender) in
         any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is
         mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such
         deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date of
         this Agreement (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature
         pages hereof) or at the date such Lender became a Lender pursuant to
         subsection 8.1 (in the case of each other Lender) as the case may be,
         in respect of payments to such Lender.

                  (iii) U.S. Tax Certificates. Each Lender that is organized
         under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of
         America or any state or other political subdivision thereof shall
         deliver to the Agent for transmission to the Company, on or prior to
         the Restatement Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the
         signature pages hereof) or on the date it becomes a Lender pursuant to
         subsection 8.1 (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other
         times as may be necessary in the determination of the Company or the
         Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) such
         certificates, documents or other evidence, properly completed and duly
         executed by such Lender (including Internal Revenue Service Form 1001
         or Form 4224 or any other certificate or statement of exemption
         required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-4(a) or Section 1.1441-
         6(c) or any successor thereto) or (ii) a Form W-8 (or any successor
         form thereto), together with an annual certificate stating that such
         Lender (or beneficial owner, as the case may be) (w) is not a "bank"
         within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(A) of the Code, (x) is not a
         10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of
         the Code) of the Company, (y) is not a controlled foreign corporation
         related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(4)(B) of
         the Code) and (z) is not acting as a conduit entity (within the meaning
         of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.881-3) to establish that such
         Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States
         federal income tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the



                                       66
<PAGE>   78
         Internal Revenue Code or otherwise (or under any comparable provisions
         of any successor statute) with respect to any payments to such Lender
         of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the
         Loan Documents. The Company shall not be required to pay any additional
         amount to any Lender under clause (c) of subsection 2.8B(ii) if such
         Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of the immediately
         preceding sentence or if any deduction, withholding or payment is
         required by reason of the failure by such Lender (or, if such Lender is
         not the beneficial owner of the Loan, such beneficial owner) to comply
         with applicable certification, information, documentation or other
         reporting requirements (including, without limitation, the failure to
         timely submit a Form 1001, 4224 or W-8 (together with the annual
         certificate required under clause (ii) above), as applicable)
         concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the
         United States of America of such Lender (or beneficial owner, as the
         case may be) if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of
         the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption
         from such deduction, withholding or payment; provided, however, that if
         such Lender shall have satisfied such requirements on the Restatement
         Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages
         hereof) or on the date it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other
         Lender), nothing in this subsection 2.8B(iii) shall relieve Company of
         its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of
         subsection 2.8B(ii) in the event that, as a result of any change in any
         applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or
         any change in the interpretation, administration or application
         thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms,
         certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the
         fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described in the
         immediately preceding sentence.

                  (iv) If the Company pays any additional amount under this
         subsection 2.8B to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole
         discretion that it has actually received or realized as a result of
         such payment any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its
         Taxes in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional
         amount is paid, such Lender shall pay to the Company an amount that the
         Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net
         benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a
         consequence of such refund, reduction or credit.

         C. CAPITAL ADEQUACY ADJUSTMENT. If any Lender shall have determined
that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability of any law, rule or
regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change
therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, including any central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its
applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or Commitment or
participations herein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans
to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could
have



                                       67
<PAGE>   79
achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change
or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such
controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to
time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Company from such Lender of
the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Company shall pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender
shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) a written statement,
setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such
additional amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto absent manifest error. No Person shall be entitled to receive a
payment pursuant to this subsection 2.8C for costs incurred by such Person more
than 180 days prior to delivery of such statement.

         D. OBLIGATION OF THE LENDERS TO MITIGATE. Each Lender agrees that, as
promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for
administering the Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the
existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected
Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under this
subsection 2.8, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal
policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use
reasonable efforts (i) to make, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender
or the affected Loans of such Lender through another lending office of such
Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if
as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an
Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would
otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.8
would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole
discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans
through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as
the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitment
or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, however, that such Lender
will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this
subsection 2.8D unless the Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses
incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending office as
described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such
expenses payable by the Company pursuant to this subsection 2.8D (setting forth
in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such
Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

2.9      REPLACEMENT OF A LENDER.

         A. AFFECTED LENDERS. In the event that any Lender shall give notice to
the Company that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is
entitled to receive payments under subsection 2.8 or in the event that any
Lender is unable to fund Loans as described in subsection 3.2B(iv), and unless
the circumstances which have caused such payments or which cause such Lender to
be unable to fund Loans are no longer in effect, the Company may, if such Lender
shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Company's
request for such withdrawal, upon ten days' prior written notice by the Company
to the Agent and such Lender, elect to cause such Lender to assign its Loans and
Commitments in full in accordance



                                       68
<PAGE>   80
with the provisions of subsection 8.1A to an Eligible Assignee designated by the
Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided that at any time
prior to the consummation of any such assignment, the Agent may (but shall have
no obligation to) designate another Eligible Assignee in substitution for the
Eligible Assignee designated by the Company, in which event the applicable
Lender shall assign its Loans and Commitments to such other Eligible Assignee.

         B. DEFAULTING LENDERS. In the event that any Funding Default is
continuing, (1) the Company may, if the Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the
default within five Business Days after the Company's and/or Agent's request
that it cure such default, by giving notice to Agent and any Defaulting Lender
of its election to do so (1) (a) terminate the Commitment, of such Defaulting
Lender upon receipt by such Defaulting Lender of such notice and (b) prepay on
the date of such termination any outstanding Loans made by such Defaulting
Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts
payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder pursuant to subsection 2.6,
subsection 2.7 or subsection 3.6 or otherwise; provided that, in the event such
Defaulting Lender has any Loans outstanding at the time of such termination, the
written consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required in order for Company to make the election set forth
in this clause (1); (2) the Agent may, if such Defaulting Lender shall fail to
cure the default within five Business Days after the Agent's request that it
cure such default, by giving notice to Company and any Defaulting Lender of its
election to do so (a) terminate the Commitment, of such Defaulting Lender upon
receipt by such Defaulting Lender of such notice and (b) cause the Company to
prepay on the date of such termination any outstanding Loans made by such
Defaulting Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any
other amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder pursuant to subsection
2.6, subsection 2.7 or subsection 3.6 or otherwise; or (3) the Company or the
Agent may cause such Defaulting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments in
full to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection
8.1A.

         C. REPLACEMENT LENDERS. (i) At the time of any replacement pursuant to
this subsection 2.9, the Eligible Assignee (the "REPLACEMENT LENDER") replacing
the applicable Lender (the "REPLACED LENDER") shall enter into one or more
assignment agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, pursuant
to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and
outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay
to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an
amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding
Loans of the Replaced Lender, and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but
theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender; and

                  (ii) all obligations of the Company owing to the Replaced
         Lender (excluding those specifically described in clause (i) above in
         respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is
         concurrently being, paid) shall be paid by the Company in full to such
         Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.




                                       69
<PAGE>   81
Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payments of
amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the
Replacement Lender, the delivery of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by
the Company, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the
Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with
respect to Company's obligations regarding the indemnification provisions under
this Agreement, which will survive for the benefit of such Replaced Lender.

2.10     ADDITION AND DESIGNATION OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES.

         A. ADDITION OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES. The Company may, with the prior
written approval of Supermajority Lenders (including the Agent), which approval
may be granted, withheld, conditioned or delayed in their sole discretion, add
one or more Properties which are not Mortgaged Properties immediately prior to
the time of such addition (each, an "ADDITIONAL MORTGAGED PROPERTY") as
Mortgaged Properties; provided that, in any event:

                  (i) such Additional Mortgaged Property shall be or will be
         owned either by the Company or, if approved in writing by,
         Supermajority Lenders (including the Agent), a Mortgaged Property
         Subsidiary; provided that such Mortgaged Property Subsidiary shall have

         Agreement;

                  (ii) each Additional Mortgaged Property shall include the

         Company, at its expense, shall deliver to the Agent the Property
         Information with respect to such Additional Mortgaged Property, which
         Property Information shall be satisfactory in form and substance to
         Supermajority Lenders (including the Agent), in their sole discretion;

                  (iv) if such Additional Mortgaged Property is the subject of

         Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the proposed
         acquisition shall be permitted pursuant to subsections 6.3 and 6.4;

                  (v) if such Additional Mortgaged Property is owned by a

         have entered into a Servicing Agreement with the Company and, if a
         Liquor License exists with respect to such Additional Mortgaged
         Property or is required thereafter, the holders thereof shall have

         substantially in the form delivered on or before the Closing Date
         pursuant to subsection 3.1H or in such

         other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Agent, which shall
         provide for Management Fees in amounts and on other terms satisfactory

                  the other conditions set forth in paragraphs F, G, I, J and K
                  of subsection 3.1, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such

                  certificates and opinions executed and delivered by or on
                  behalf of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries as the Agent
                  or any Lender may reasonably request,



                                       71
<PAGE>   83
                           (h) if the Additional Mortgaged Property includes a

                  subject to this subsection 2.10.

         B. DESIGNATION OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES. The Company may designate any
Mortgaged Property as a Designated Mortgaged Property by delivering a written
notice of such designation to the Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, the
applicable Mortgaged Property shall be a Designated Mortgaged Property for all
purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, the calculation of the
Borrowing Base.

         C. REMOVAL OF DESIGNATED PROPERTIES. The Company may, from time to time
after the Restatement Closing Date, deliver to the Agent written notice that it
elects to exclude the Property Amount of a specified Mortgaged Property from the
calculation of the Borrowing Base; provided that, after giving effect to such
exclusion, the Borrowing Base shall be at least equal to the Total Utilization.
Upon receipt by the Agent of such notice, the specified Mortgaged Property shall
be excluded from the calculation of the Borrowing Base unless the Borrower
elects to again designate such Mortgaged Property as provided in subsection
2.10B, but such Property shall remain a Mortgaged Property for all purposes of
this Agreement unless such Property is Released pursuant to subsection 2.11.

2.11     RELEASES OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES.

         A. MORTGAGED PROPERTIES. At any time and from time to time after the
Restatement Closing Date, in connection with the sale or other permanent
disposition of any Mortgaged Property or mandatory prepayments made pursuant to
subsection 2.5B(iv) or otherwise, the Company may obtain a Release of the Lien
of the Security Documents in respect of all, but except as provided below not a
portion of, such Mortgaged Property subject to the following terms and
conditions on the applicable Release Date; provided that no Mortgaged Property
shall be Released within three months of the Addition Date of such Mortgaged
Property:

                  (i) the Company shall have delivered written notice to the
         Agent (a) not less than 30 days (or such shorter period as shall be
         acceptable to the Agent) prior to the proposed Release Date specifying
         the proposed Release Date and such Mortgaged Property and (b) not less
         than five (5) days prior to the actual Release Date specifying such
         actual Release Date and such Mortgaged Property;

                    COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         In order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this
Agreement and to make the Loans and to pay the Purchase Price, the Company
represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that the following
statements in this Section 4 are true, correct and complete as of the date this
Agreement is executed and delivered, on the Restatement Closing Date and on each
Funding Date.

4.1 ORGANIZATION, POWERS, QUALIFICATION, GOOD STANDING, BUSINESS AND
SUBSIDIARIES.

         A. ORGANIZATION AND POWERS. Each Loan Party and each of its
Subsidiaries (other than any Partnership Subsidiary) is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation (which jurisdiction is set forth on Schedule 4.1
annexed hereto). Each such Loan Party and each such Subsidiary has the requisite
corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties (including the
Properties identified as being owned or leased by such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary on Schedule 1.1A and Schedule 1.1B annexed hereto), to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the
Loan Documents and the Related Documents to which it is a party, to carry out
the transactions contemplated thereby and, in the case of the Company, to issue
and pay the Notes. Each Partnership Subsidiary, if any, is a limited partnership
duly formed and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization and each Partnership Subsidiary has all requisite partnership power
and authority to own and operate its




                                       85
<PAGE>   97
properties (including the Properties identified on Schedule 1.1A and Schedule
1.1B as being owned or leased by such Partnership Subsidiary), to carry on its
business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted, to enter into each Loan
Document and Related Document to which it is a party and to carry out the
transactions contemplated thereby. The books and records of each Loan Party and
each of its Subsidiaries reflect the properties and assets purported to be owned
by such Loan Party or Subsidiary, as applicable.

         B. QUALIFICATION AND GOOD STANDING. Each Loan Party and each of its
Subsidiaries is qualified to do business and in good standing in every
jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out
its business and operations except where the failure to be qualified or in good
standing could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The jurisdictions in which each Loan Party
and each of its Subsidiaries owns property or otherwise conducts business as of
the Restatement Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.1 annexed hereto.

         C. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are
engaged only in the businesses permitted to be engaged in by them pursuant to
subsection 6.14.

         D. SUBSIDIARIES. The capital stock of the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries (other than any Partnership Subsidiary) is duly authorized, validly
issued and fully paid and nonassessable. All of the Subsidiaries of each Loan
Party are identified on Schedule 4.1 annexed hereto, as said Schedule 4.1 may be
supplemented from time to time pursuant to subsection 5.1(xxi). Except for the
Common Stock, the capital stock of each Person identified on Schedule 4.1 (as so
supplemented) is not Margin Stock. Schedule 4.1 hereto correctly sets forth the
ownership interests in each Loan Party (other than the Company) and each of its
Subsidiaries, as Schedule 4.1 may be supplemented from time to time pursuant to
the provisions of subsection 5.1(xxi) or 6.7(ii). Each Subsidiary of the Company
is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary.

Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership
action on the part of each Loan Party, as the case may be.

         B. NO CONFLICT. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan
Party of each Loan Document and each Related Document to which it is a party and
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and the Related Documents do not and will not (i) violate any provision of law
applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws or partnership agreement of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of
government binding on any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict
with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any




                                       86
<PAGE>   98
material Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party (including without limitation
the Mortgage Note Indenture, the Convertible Note Indenture, the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture, the Reorganization Securities and the Franchise
Agreements), (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien
upon any of the properties or assets of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than Liens securing the Obligations) or (iv) require any
approval of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any
material Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party other than approvals or
consents which will be or have been obtained on or before the Restatement
Closing Date or the applicable Funding Date, as the case may be, and disclosed
in writing to the Agent and the Lenders.

         C. GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2C annexed
hereto, the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan
Document and each Related Document to which it is a party, and the consummation
of each Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and the Related Documents do not and will not require
any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to,
with or by, any Governmental Authority, except for (i) such of the foregoing
which will have been made or obtained on or before the Restatement Closing Date
or the applicable Funding Date, as the case may be, and (ii) the recordings and
filings required to perfect the Liens granted pursuant to the Security
Documents. As of the Restatement Closing Date, all consents or approvals from or

regulatory authorities required to be obtained on or before such date in
connection with the documents or transactions described or referred to in the
preceding sentence will have been accomplished in all material respects in
compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws. None of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the Related Documents violates any Applicable Law or regulation in
any material respect.

         D. BINDING OBLIGATION. This Agreement is, and the other Loan Documents
when executed and delivered hereunder will be, the legally valid and binding
obligations of the applicable Loan Parties, enforceable against the applicable
Loan Parties in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating
to or limiting creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or law).

         E. VALID ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. All the issued and outstanding
Common Stock has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the
Company and is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth

DOCUMENTS. As of the date hereof, each Related Document to which any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries is a party is in full force and effect and no term or
condition thereof has been amended or modified in any material respect, except
as disclosed herein. Each Loan Party has delivered to the Agent complete and
correct copies of all Related Documents to which such Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party (including in each case all exhibits and schedules
thereto), as amended, modified or waived to date, and of all material notices or
other writings delivered to or by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary in
connection therewith. Each of the representations and warranties given by each
Loan Party in each Loan Document (other than this Agreement) to which it is a

4.4      MORTGAGED PROPERTIES; EXISTING LOANS.

4.8      GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION; SECURITIES ACTIVITIES.

Sections 1, et seq.) or the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C.

Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

4.9      EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.

         A. ERISA. Each Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their
respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the regulations and
published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan,
and have performed their respective obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan
except to the extent that any noncompliance or nonperformance could not
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in aggregate, in a
Material Adverse Effect. The sponsor of each Employee Benefit Plan which is
intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has
received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service concluding
that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified, and to the knowledge of each
Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA
Affiliates, no event has occurred, amendment been adopted or action been taken
that would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status.

         B. ERISA EVENT. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected
to occur which could be reasonably be expected to have, either individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         C. UNFUNDED BENEFIT LIABILITIES. As of the most recent valuation date
for any Pension Plan, the amount of unfunded benefit liabilities (as defined in
Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA), either individually or in the aggregate for all
Pension Plans (excluding for purposes of such computation any Pension Plans with
respect to which assets exceed benefit liabilities), does not exceed $1,000,000.

         D. POTENTIAL WITHDRAWAL LIABILITY. As of the most recent valuation date
for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the
potential liability of the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and their respective
ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within
the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential
liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on
information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA, does not exceed

4.10     CERTAIN FEES.

         No broker's or finder's fee or commission will be payable by any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (other than the fees payable pursuant to this
Agreement), and the Company hereby indemnifies the Agent and the Lenders
against, and agrees that it will hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from,
any claim, demand or liability for any such broker's or finder's fees or
commissions payable by the Company alleged to have been incurred in connection
herewith or therewith and any expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel) arising in connection with any such claim, demand or
liability.

4.11     SOLVENCY.

         After giving effect to the consummation of the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Related
Documents, with respect to each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries, (i) (a)
the then fair saleable value of the property of such Person is (y) greater than
the total amount of liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of such
Person and (z) not less than the amount that will be required to pay the
probable liabilities on such Person's then existing debts as they become
absolute and matured considering all financing alternatives and potential asset
sales reasonably available to such person; (b) such Person's capital is (or will
be, as the case may be), not unreasonably small in relation to its business or
any contemplated or undertaken transaction; and (c) such Person does not intend
to incur, or believe (nor should it reasonably believe) that it will incur,
debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due; and (ii) such
Person is (or will be, as the case may be), "SOLVENT" within the meaning given
that term and similar terms under Applicable Laws relating to fraudulent
transfers and conveyances. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence,
the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the
amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such
time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual
or matured liability.

4.12     DISCLOSURE.

         No representation or warranty of any Loan Party contained in this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Related Documents to which it is a
party or in any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to
the Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Related
Documents (as from time to time superseded by subsequent materials furnished to
the Agent) contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits or will omit to state a material fact (known to such Loan Party, in the
case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which the same were made or will be made, as the case may be.
The projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials
(as from time to time superseded by subsequent materials furnished to the Agent)
are based or will be based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed to
be reasonable at the time made, it being



                                       93
<PAGE>   105
recognized by the Agent and the Lenders that such projections as to future
events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period
or periods covered by any such projections may differ materially from the
projected results. There is no fact known (or which should upon the reasonable
exercise of diligence be known) to the Company (other than matters of a general
economic nature) that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and that has not
been disclosed in any of the Loan Documents and the Related Documents to which
any Loan Party is a party as of the date hereof or in such other documents,
certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.13     LIENS ON THE COLLATERAL.

         A. GENERAL. The provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents
are effective to create and maintain, upon proper filing or recording or taking
of possession, as applicable, in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders
valid and legally enforceable Liens on or security interests in all of the
Mortgaged Properties and all of the remainder of the Collateral and, when all
necessary and appropriate recordings and filings have been effected in all
necessary and appropriate public offices, and payment is made of any applicable
mortgage recording and/or intangible taxes, and taking possession, as
applicable, this Agreement and the Security Documents will constitute perfected
Liens on and security interests in all of such Mortgaged Properties and all of
the remainder of the Collateral to the extent such Liens and security interests
can be perfected by filing, recording or taking possession prior and superior to
all other Liens except Permitted Encumbrances; provided, however, that the
perfection against Persons other than the Company of such a Lien on the Rents in
respect of such Mortgaged Properties may in certain jurisdictions require the
Agent to have possession of such Rents and/or control of such Mortgaged
Properties.

         B. MORTGAGES. Each Mortgage upon execution and delivery of such
Mortgage by the Company will be a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on
the Mortgaged Property that such Mortgage purports to encumber, and such
Mortgage, when such Mortgage is recorded in the real property records of the
county in which such Mortgaged Property encumbered by such Mortgage is located
and upon payment of any applicable mortgage recording and or intangible taxes,
will be a perfected, valid and enforceable first priority Lien on the portion of
such Mortgaged Property which constitutes real property in favor of the Agent,
which Mortgaged Property will then be free and clear of all Liens having
priority over the first Lien of such Mortgage, except for Permitted
Encumbrances.

         C. ASSIGNMENTS OF RENTS AND LEASES. Each Assignment of Rents and
Leases, upon execution and recordation of such Assignment of Rents and Leases in
the real property records of the county in which the Mortgaged Property affected
by such Assignment of Rents and Leases is located and upon payment of any
applicable recording or intangible taxes, will be, a perfected, valid and
enforceable first priority present assignment of the Leases affecting such
Mortgaged Property and of the Rents of and from such Mortgaged Property, which
Mortgaged Property will then be free and clear of all Liens having priority over
the Assignment of Rents and Leases,



                                       94
<PAGE>   106
except for Permitted Encumbrances. As of the Restatement Closing Date, the
Company represents that upon recordation of each Assignment of Rents and Leases
the Agent has taken all actions necessary to obtain, and as of the Restatement
Closing Date the Agent has, a valid and perfected first priority assignment of
the Rents from the Mortgaged Properties and of all security for the Leases
affecting such Mortgaged Properties, including cash or securities deposited as
security under such Leases subject to the prior right of the Tenants making such
deposits; provided, however, that the perfection against Persons other than the
Company of such a Lien on the Rents in respect of such Mortgaged Properties may
in certain jurisdictions require the Agent to have possession of such Rents
and/or control of such Mortgaged Properties.

         D. MECHANICS' LIENS. Except as permitted by the definition of Permitted
Encumbrances, there are no existing mechanics' liens affecting any Mortgaged
Property.

         E. FILINGS AND RECORDINGS. All filings (including all financing
statements and all assignments of financing statements under the Uniform
Commercial Code) have been delivered to the Agent for filing in each public
office in which such filings and recordings are required or advisable to perfect
the Liens and security interests in each of the Mortgaged Properties and the
other Collateral granted by the Loan Parties pursuant to the Security Documents
and, except for the filing of continuation statements with respect to such
financing statements as may be required or advisable to be filed at periodic
intervals, no periodic refiling or periodic recording is presently required to
protect and preserve such Liens and security interests.

4.14     ZONING; AUTHORIZATIONS.

         A. ZONING. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14A annexed hereto, the
use and operation by each Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable,
of each Mortgaged Property as a commercial hotel with related uses, separate and
apart from any other properties, constitutes a legal use under applicable zoning
regulations (as the same may be modified by special use permits or the granting
of variances) and complies in all material respects with all Applicable Laws and
all applicable Insurance Requirements, and does not violate any, material
restrictions of record or any material agreement affecting any Mortgaged
Property (or any portion thereof) to which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary is
a party or by which such Loan Party, such Subsidiary or such Mortgaged Property
(or portion thereof) is bound. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14A annexed
hereto or pursuant to Permitted Encumbrances, neither the zoning nor any right
of access to or use of any Mortgaged Property is to any extent dependent upon or
related to any real property other than such Mortgaged Property.

         B. AUTHORIZATIONS. There have been issued in respect of each Mortgaged
Property all material Authorizations necessary to own, operate, use and occupy
such Mortgaged Property in the manner operated by the Loan Parties and their
respective Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and contemplated by the Loan
Parties and their respective Subsidiaries to be operated on and after the
Restatement Closing Date (including any required permits relating to Hazardous
Materials). To the knowledge of the Company, except as set forth on Schedule
4.14B annexed hereto, there have been issued in respect of each Mortgaged
Property all Authorizations



                                       95

Property in the manner currently operated by the Tenants under any Material
Lease and contemplated to be operated by the Tenants on and after the
Restatement Closing Date (including any required permits relating to Hazardous
Materials), other than any such Authorizations which, if not obtained, could not
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. Each such Authorization is in full force and effect,
and no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, any prior owner thereof, has received any notice of violation or
revocation thereof except for those which could not reasonably be expected to
have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.15     PHYSICAL CONDITION; ENCROACHMENT.

         Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15 annexed hereto or on the

each Mortgaged Property is free of structural defects and is in good repair
(normal wear and tear excepted) and all building systems contained therein and
all other items of Collateral are in good working order subject to ordinary wear
and tear, except as disclosed in the Engineering Reports, and is free and clear
of any damage that would affect materially and adversely the value of such
Mortgaged Property or the use of such Property for its intended purposes. To the
knowledge of the Company, other than as described in the Title Policy and in any
Survey, no Improvement at any Mortgaged Property encroaches upon any building
line, setback line, side yard line or any recorded or visible easement.

and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Schedule 4.16 annexed hereto contains a complete and accurate description of all
policies of insurance that will be in effect as of the Restatement Closing Date.

4.17     LEASES.

         As of the date hereof, there is no material default or event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a material default under any of
the provisions of any Material Lease affecting any Mortgaged Property. No
litigation is currently pending or has been threatened by any Tenant in
connection with any Material Lease affecting any Property that has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

in accordance with its current use, telephone services, gas, steam, electric
power, storm sewers, sanitary sewers and water facilities and all other utility
services are available to each Mortgaged Property, are adequate to serve each

charges to the utility supplier, which would limit the use of such utilities.
All streets and easements necessary for the occupancy and operation of each
Mortgaged Property are available to the boundaries of the Land. All necessary
rights-of-way for all roads, which are sufficient to permit each Mortgaged
Property to be utilized fully for its current use, have been completed and are
serviceable, and, to the knowledge of the Company, all public rights-of-way
through or adjacent to the Mortgaged Properties have been acquired and dedicated
and accepted for maintenance and public use by the applicable Governmental

jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances. All registered
Intellectual Property and all pending applications and the jurisdictions in

with the material terms of each IP License Agreement to which it is a party and
each such License Agreement is in full force and effect, except where the
failure to be in compliance or the failure to be in full force and effect will
not result in an Event of Default hereunder.

         B. NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CLAIMS. (i) No claim has been asserted by any
Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property, or challenging
or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property
and the Company does not know of any valid basis for any such claim; and (ii)
the use of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party and each of its
Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such
claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liability
on the part of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of
(i) and (ii) for claims or infringements which could not reasonably be expected
to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The

case may be) any of such Intellectual Property by any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries.

Loan Party, or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent or any Lender could become
subject to any civil fine or penalty not adequately reserved against (in the
case of any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof) or criminal fine or penalty, in
each case as a result of non-payment of such charge or claim and (v) such
contest has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have, either

character and shall keep or cause to be kept every part thereof and its other
properties in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and
make all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals or replacements thereto as may
be reasonably necessary to conduct the business of such Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries; (ii) not remove, demolish or structurally alter, or permit or
suffer the removal, demolition or structural alteration of, any of the
Improvements relating to a Mortgaged Property if the cost of such removal,
demolition or structure alteration (together with the cost of any related
Renovation) would exceed $500,000 in the case of any individual Mortgaged
Property or $2,000,000 in the aggregate in the case of all Mortgaged Properties
(measured, with respect to the applicable Mortgaged Properties, on a cumulative
basis from the applicable Addition Date), except as expressly permitted
hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Agent; (iii) complete
promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner any Improvements which may be now
or hereafter constructed on any Mortgaged Property and, subject to subsection

and all covenants, conditions and restrictions now or hereafter affecting any

5.6      INSPECTION; LENDER MEETING; APPRAISALS.

         A.       INSPECTION AND LENDER MEETING. Upon reasonable notice and at
such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be
reasonably requested, each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, permit any authorized representatives designated by the Agent
to visit and inspect any Mortgaged Property, including its and their financial
and accounting records, tenant leasing files and other management books and
records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its and
their affairs, operations, finances and accounts with its and their officers,
property managers and independent accountants (provided that any Loan Party or
any such Subsidiary may, if it so chooses, be present at or participate in any
such discussion) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Company will,
upon the request of the Agent, participate in a meeting with the Agent and the
Lenders once during each calendar year to be held at the Company's corporate
offices (or such other location as may be agreed to by the Company and the
Agent) at such time as may be agreed to by the Company and the Agent.

         B.       APPRAISALS. The Agent may from time to time (and shall upon
the written request of the Company, which request shall be made no more than
once in each calendar year) obtain Appraisals of any Mortgaged Property (which
Appraisals shall, if applicable with respect to any


                                      107
<PAGE>   119
approved Renovation of such Property, contain an estimate of the appraised value
of such Property upon completion of such Renovation) and each Loan Party shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, cooperate fully with the Appraiser
selected by the Agent to conduct such Appraisals; provided that the Agent shall
not request an Appraisal for any Property more than once in each calendar year
unless the Agent reasonably believes that an event has occurred which could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. In the event that any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries obtains an appraisal of one or more of the Mortgaged Properties
other than pursuant to this subsection, the Company shall deliver a copy of such
appraisal to the Agent promptly upon the completion thereof and the Agent may
elect, in its sole discretion and subject to Applicable Laws, to treat such
appraisal as an "APPRAISAL." In the event that the Agent obtains an Appraisal of
one or more of the Mortgaged Properties, the Agent shall deliver a copy of such
Appraisal to the Company upon the completion thereof. The Company shall take all
such actions as are necessary to ensure that the Appraised Value of any
Mortgaged Property at no time exceeds the amount secured by the Mortgage
applicable to such Mortgaged Property. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, before an increase in Appraised Value with respect to a Designated
Mortgaged Property may be taken into account in calculating the Property Amount
with respect to such Designated Mortgaged Property, the Company must amend the
applicable Mortgage to secure the full amount of the increased Appraised Value.

5.7   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, AUTHORIZATIONS, ETC.

      Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply
in all material respects with the requirements of all Applicable Laws, except
where such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected, either individually
or in the aggregate, (i) to result in any criminal liability or (ii) to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, keep all material Authorizations which are from time to time
required for the use and operation of each Mortgaged Property in full force and
effect.

5.8   PERFORMANCE OF LOAN DOCUMENTS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS.

      A. LOAN DOCUMENTS. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, observe and perform, or cause to be observed and performed all
its covenants, agreements, conditions and requirements contained in each of the
Loan Documents to which it is or will be a party in accordance with the terms
thereof and will maintain the validity and effectiveness of such Loan Documents.

      B. RELATED DOCUMENTS. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, observe and perform, or cause to be observed and performed in
all material respects, all its material covenants, agreements, conditions and
requirements contained in each of the Related Documents to which it is a party
in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Loan Party shall take no action, nor
permit any action to be taken, which will release any party to the Related
Documents from any of such party's obligations or liabilities thereunder, or
will result in the termination, modification or amendment, or will materially
impair the validity or


                                      108
<PAGE>   120
effectiveness, of any Related Document except as expressly provided for herein
and therein, which termination, modification, amendment, release, invalidity or
ineffectiveness could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall give the Agent
written notice of any material default by any party to any Related Document
promptly after such default becomes known to the Company.

5.9   PAYMENT OF LIENS.

      A. REMOVAL BY LOAN PARTIES. In the event that, notwithstanding the
covenants contained in subsection 6.2, a Lien not otherwise permitted under
subsection 6.2 may encumber any Mortgaged Property, other item of Collateral or
Restricted Asset or any portion thereof, the Company shall promptly discharge or
cause to be discharged by payment to the lienor or lien claimant or promptly
secure removal by bonding or deposit with the county clerk or otherwise or, at
the Agent's option, promptly obtain insurance against, any such Lien or
mechanics' or materialmen's claims of lien filed or otherwise asserted against
any Mortgaged Property, other item of Collateral or Restricted Asset or any
portion thereof or against any funds due any contractor, subcontractor,
materials supplier or laborer within 30 days after the date of notice thereof;
provided that this subsection 5.9A shall not be deemed to be a consent to any
such Lien or an waiver of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
resulting therefrom. The Company shall exhibit to the Agent upon request all
receipts or other satisfactory evidence of payment of taxes, assessments, Liens
or any other item which may cause any such Lien to be filed against any
Mortgaged Property, other items of Collateral or Restricted Asset of any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries
shall fully preserve the Lien and the priority of each of the Mortgages and the
other Security Documents without cost or expense to the Agent or the Lenders.

      B. REMOVAL BY THE AGENT. If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
fails to promptly discharge or remove any such Lien or mechanics' or
materialmen's claim of lien, other than the Liens permitted pursuant to
subsection 6.2, within 30 days after the receipt of notice thereof, then the
Agent may, but shall not be required to, procure the release and discharge of
such Lien, mechanics' or materialmen's claim of lien and any judgment or decree
thereon, and in furtherance thereof may, in its sole discretion, effect any
settlement or compromise with the lienor or lien claimant or post any bond or
furnish any security or indemnity as the Agent, in its sole discretion, may
elect. In settling, compromising or arranging for the discharge of any Liens
under this subsection, the Agent shall not be required to establish or confirm
the validity or amount of the Lien. The Company agrees that all costs and
expenses expended or otherwise incurred pursuant to this subsection 5.9
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) by the Agent shall be
paid by the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.

      C. TITLE SEARCHES. In the event that the Agent believes that a Lien not
otherwise permitted under subsection 6.2 may encumber any Mortgaged Property,
other item of Collateral or any Restricted Asset or any portion thereof, the
Agent may, at the expense of the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof,
obtain an updated title and/or lien search regarding such Mortgaged Property,
other item of Collateral or Restricted Asset.

5.10     INSURANCE.

         A.       RISKS TO BE INSURED. With respect to each Mortgaged Property,
each Loan Party shall procure or cause to be procured, and each Loan Party shall
maintain or cause to be maintained continuously in effect, insurance coverage
issued by an insurer (i) authorized to issue such insurance in all applicable
jurisdictions, (ii) rated "A" (or its equivalent) or better by Alfred M. Best
Company, Inc., (iii) with a financial size rating of "IX" (or its equivalent) or
better with respect to the Company's umbrella liability policy and "X" (or its
equivalent) with respect to all other coverage, in each case by Alfred M. Best
Company, Inc., and (iv) otherwise satisfactory to the Agent. Each Loan Party
shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, in a timely manner
all premiums due in connection therewith. All insurance policies shall be issued
by insurers doing business as admitted licensed carriers in the state where such
Mortgaged Property is located, and shall be authorized and licensed to issue
insurance in such state. The insurance to be procured and maintained by the
Company is the following:

                  (i)      Casualty. The Company shall keep, or shall cause its
         Subsidiaries to keep, each Mortgaged Property insured for the benefit
         of the Agent, in each case, as follows:

                           (a)      All Risk of Physical Loss. Insurance with
                  respect to the Improvements now or hereafter located on the
                  Mortgaged Properties and any alterations or additions thereto
                  and the furniture, fixtures and equipment against any peril
                  included within the classification "All Risks of Physical
                  Loss" with extended coverage (including fire, lightning,
                  windstorm, sprinkler, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a
                  strike, civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief,
                  terrorist acts, aircraft, vehicle and smoke) in an amount
                  equal to the full insurable value of such Improvements and
                  such furniture, fixtures and equipment. The term "FULL
                  INSURABLE VALUE" shall mean the actual replacement cost of
                  such Improvements and such furniture, fixtures and equipment
                  (without taking into account any depreciation, and exclusive
                  of excavations, footings and foundations, landscaping and
                  paving) determined annually by an insurer, a recognized
                  independent insurance broker or an appraiser selected (and
                  approved by the Agent) and paid by the applicable Loan Party
                  or its Subsidiary; provided, however, that such amount shall
                  be sufficient to prevent such Loan Party or such Subsidiary
                  from becoming a co-insurer, and the policy shall contain a
                  stated value endorsement to that effect.

                           (b)      Builder's Risk. During any period of
                  construction of Improvements and any repair, restoration,
                  Renovation or replacement thereof, a standard builder's all
                  risk policy (completed value non-reporting form) for an amount
                  at least equal to the full insurable value of the work to be
                  performed and equipment, supplies and materials to be
                  furnished, as shall be reasonably approved by the Agent for
                  such purpose, the coverage of which shall include the hazards
                  described in subsection 5.10A(i)(a) and building collapse;
                  provided, however, that such policy may be obtained by a
                  contractor if it names the Agent and the Company


                                      110
<PAGE>   122
                  as additional named insureds and if it otherwise complies with
                  this Agreement. Such policy shall contain a stated value
                  endorsement so that no co-insurance provision shall be
                  applicable to any loss thereunder. Such policy shall contain
                  the provision that "permission is hereby granted to complete
                  and/or occupy" upon the earlier to occur of substantial
                  completion of any discrete increment of the work or a Tenant
                  taking occupancy of any Mortgaged Property (or portion
                  thereof) as to which work was being performed.

                           (c)      Flood. Insurance against damage or loss by
                  flood as to any Mortgaged Property that is located in an area
                  now or subsequently designated as an area having special flood
                  hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available
                  under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (Pub. L. 90-
                  448, 42 U.S.C. Sections 4001, et seq.), the Flood Disaster
                  Protection Act of 1973 (Pub. L. 93-234, 42 U.S.C. Sections
                  4001, et seq.) or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of
                  1994 (Pub. L. 103-325), as such Acts may be amended, modified,
                  supplemented or replaced from time to time, on such basis and
                  not less than such amounts as shall be reasonably approved by
                  the Agent, but not less than the amount required by law. If
                  any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries fails to obtain
                  flood insurance as required, the Agent may purchase such flood
                  insurance, and the Company shall pay all premiums and other
                  costs and expenses incurred by the Agent.

                           (d)      Boilers. Broad form boiler and machinery
                  insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all
                  boilers, boiler tanks, heating and air conditioning equipment,
                  pressure vessels, auxiliary piping and similar apparatus,

                  Property insuring against damage or loss from boilers, boiler
                  tanks, heating and air conditioning equipment, pressure
                  vessels, auxiliary piping and similar apparatus, machinery and
                  equipment and insurance against loss of occupancy or use
                  arising from any such breakdown in such amounts as are
                  generally available at reasonable premiums and are generally
                  required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to
                  the Mortgaged Properties.

                           (e)      Business Interruption or Rental Income
                  Insurance. Business interruption and/or loss of rental value
                  or use and occupancy insurance insuring against business

                  Mortgaged Property due to any of the hazards listed in
                  subsection 5.10A(i)(a) above in an amount sufficient to avoid
                  any co-insurance penalty and to provide proceeds for a period
                  not less than one year of loss.

                           (f)      Earthquake Insurance. With respect to any
                  Mortgaged Property located in California or other area at high
                  risk for earthquakes, as determined by the Agent, and at the
                  discretion of the Agent, earthquake insurance on such basis
                  and in such amounts as shall be reasonably required by the
                  Agent.

required by law.

any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and/or any Mortgaged Property pursuant

title to such Mortgaged Property (provided that with respect to items (3) and
(4) any notice requirements of the applicable policies are satisfied); (f) be
subject to a deductible, if any, not greater than $50,000 (or, with respect to
coverage for wind damage or earthquake damage, such greater amount as shall not
exceed 5% of the affected Mortgaged 


                                      113

Property's agreed value); (g) contain an endorsement providing that none of the
Agent, the Lenders or such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall
be, or shall be deemed to be, a co-insurer with respect to any risk insured by
such policy; and (h) provide that if all or any part of such policy shall be
canceled or terminated, or shall expire, the insurer will forthwith give notice
thereof to each named insured, additional insured and loss payee and that no
cancellation, termination, expiration, reduction in amount of, or material
change (other than an increase) in, coverage thereof shall be effective until at
least 30 days (or 10 days in the case of non-payment for premiums) after receipt
by each named insured, additional insured and loss payee of written notice
thereof.

      C. INCREASES IN COVERAGE. The policy limits of any policy of insurance
required hereunder shall be increased from time to time to reflect what a
reasonable prudent owner of land and improvements similar in type and locality
to each Mortgaged Property would carry.

      D. PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS. If any such insurance proceeds required to be paid
to the Agent are instead made payable to the Company or any Loan Party or
Subsidiary thereof, the Company hereby appoints the Agent as its
attorney-in-fact, irrevocably and coupled with an interest, to endorse and/or
transfer any such payment to the Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, all Insurance Proceeds attributable to insurance required
pursuant to subsection 5.10A(i)(e) shall be paid to and retained by the
applicable Loan Party so long as no Event of Default shall be continuing.

      E. DELIVERY OF COUNTERPART POLICIES; EVIDENCE. Each Loan Party shall
deliver, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to deliver, to the Agent on or
prior to the Restatement Closing Date valid evidence of insurance acceptable to
the Agent for the policies of insurance required by this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to be carried evidencing (i) the issuance of such policies, (ii)
the payment of all premiums payable for the period ending not earlier than the
first anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) coverage which meets all of the
requirements set forth in this Agreement. At each time after the Restatement
Closing Date that any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is required by this
Agreement or by any Security Document or any other Loan Document to deliver
evidence of insurance, such Loan Party shall deliver, or shall cause such
Subsidiary to deliver, such evidence of valid policies of insurance acceptable
to the Agent evidencing (a) the issuance of the policies of insurance required
by this Agreement or other Loan Document to be carried, (b) the payment of all
premiums then due to the applicable insurer, (c) coverage which meets all of the
requirements set forth in this Agreement or other Loan Document, and (d) that
the required policies are in full force and effect.

      F. REPLACEMENT OR RENEWAL POLICIES. Not less than 10 days prior to the
expiration, termination or cancellation of any insurance policy which any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries is required to maintain hereunder, such Loan
Party shall obtain, or shall cause such Subsidiary to obtain, a replacement or
renewal policy or policies (or a binding commitment for such replacement or
renewal policy or policies), which shall be effective no later than the date of
the expiration, termination or cancellation of the previous policy, and shall
deliver to the 


                                      114
<PAGE>   126
Agent a valid binder in respect of such policy or policies in the same form and
containing the same information as the expiring policy or policies required to
be delivered by each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to subsection
5.10E or a copy of the binding commitment for such policy complying with all the
requirements of this subsection, followed by a certified true copy of the policy
or policies when issued.

      G. MATERIAL CHANGE IN POLICY. Each Loan Party shall deliver, and shall
cause each of its Subsidiaries to deliver, to the Agent concurrently with each
material change in any insurance policy covering any part of the Mortgaged
Properties required to be maintained by each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries
hereunder, a valid binder or policy endorsement with respect to such changed
insurance policy certified by the insurance company issuing such policy, in the
same form and containing the same information as the original evidence of
insurance required to be delivered by each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries
pursuant to subsection 5.10E.

      H. REPORTS OF INSURANCE BROKER. Upon request of the Agent, for so long as
any portion of the Loans is outstanding, each Loan Party shall, and shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, within 120 days following the end of each calendar
year commencing with the end of 1997, and concurrently with the delivery of each
replacement policy or a binding commitment for the same pursuant to subsection
5.10F deliver to the Agent a report from a reputable and experienced insurance
broker, or from the insurer, setting forth the particulars as to all insurance
obtained by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this
subsection 5.10 and then in effect and stating that all premiums then due
thereon have been paid to the applicable insurers, that the same are in full
force and effect and that, in the opinion of such insurance broker or insurer,
such insurance otherwise complies in all material respects with the requirements
of this subsection (or if such report shall not be available after such Loan
Party or such Subsidiary shall have used reasonable efforts to provide the same,
such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, will deliver to the Agent an
Officer's Certificate containing the information to be provided in such report).

      I. SEPARATE INSURANCE. Each Loan Party will not take out, nor will it
permit any of its Subsidiaries to take out, separate insurance concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained
pursuant to this subsection unless such insurance complies with all of the
requirements of this subsection.

5.11  CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

      A. NOTICE OF CASUALTY. Upon the occurrence of any damage to or loss or
destruction of all or any portion of any Mortgaged Property, whether or not
covered by insurance, which results in, or is reasonably expected to result in,
any Insurance Proceeds, (i) the Company shall promptly deliver to the Agent
written notice of the same which shall, among other things, describe such
casualty, and (ii) as soon as practicable but in any event prior to the
commencement of Restoration of such Mortgaged Property, the Company shall inform
the Agent of the details of such casualty, including the Company's plans with
respect thereto.


                                      115
<PAGE>   127
      B. INSURANCE PROCEEDS. All Insurance Proceeds in respect of a Mortgaged
Property or (other than Insurance Proceeds attributable to insurance required
pursuant to subsection 5.10A(ii) and (iii) and 5.10A(i)(e)) and the right
thereto are hereby irrevocably assigned and pledged by each Loan Party to the
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and the Agent on behalf of the Lenders is
authorized, at its option, to collect and receive all of the same and to give
proper receipts and acquittances therefor; provided, however, that such Loan
Party shall have the right to cause the Agent to apply Insurance Proceeds in
accordance with subsections 5.11E, 5.11F and 5.11G. Each Loan Party agrees to
execute and to cause each of its Subsidiaries to execute such further
assignments and pledges of any Insurance Proceeds in respect of Mortgaged
Properties as the Agent may reasonably require and shall otherwise cooperate
with the Agent in obtaining for the Agent and the Lenders the benefit of any
Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in respect of any such
Mortgaged Property. In no event shall any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
settle, adjust or compromise any claim for Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgaged Property in excess of $300,000 without the prior written consent of
the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If
any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Insurance Proceeds
resulting from such casualty in respect of any Mortgaged Property, such Loan
Party shall promptly endorse and transfer, or cause such Subsidiary to endorse
and transfer, such Insurance Proceeds to the Agent and each Loan Party covenants
that until so paid over to the Agent, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, shall hold such Insurance Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the
Agent and shall not commingle such Insurance Proceeds with any other funds or
assets of such Loan Party or Subsidiary or any other Person. If, prior to the
receipt by the Agent of such Insurance Proceeds, any Mortgaged Property shall
have been transferred upon foreclosure of the applicable Mortgage (or by deed in
lieu thereof), (x) the property transferred in such foreclosure (or deed in
lieu) shall include the right to collect such Insurance Proceeds to the extent
permitted by law and (y) to the extent not included in the property transferred,
the Agent shall have the right to receive such Insurance Proceeds to the extent
of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest thereon,
and reasonable counsel fees, costs and disbursements incurred by the Agent in
connection with the collection of such Insurance Proceeds. The Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by the
applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default (but not otherwise), the Agent is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Company to settle, adjust or compromise any
claims for damage, destruction or loss thereunder, with or without the consent
of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (and the Company hereby irrevocably
appoints and constitutes the Agent as the Company's lawful attorney-in-fact,
coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, for such purpose).

      C. NOTICE OF CONDEMNATION; NEGOTIATION AND SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. The Loan
Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, promptly
deliver written notice to the Agent upon obtaining knowledge of the institution,
or the proposed institution, of any bona fide action or proceeding for the
Taking of all or any portion of any Mortgaged Property which will cost (or may
reasonably be expected to cost) more than $300,000 to Restore. The Agent shall
have the right to participate in any negotiation, action or proceeding relating
to any such action or proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property, and no
settlement or compromise of any 


                                      116
<PAGE>   128
claim in connection with any such action or proceeding shall be made without the
consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned. Upon the occurrence of any Taking with respect to a Mortgaged
Property which will cost (or may reasonably be expected to cost) more than
$300,000 to Restore, as determined by the Company and so certified in an
Officer's Certificate delivered to the Agent, as soon as practicable thereafter
but in any event prior to the commencement of any Restoration of such Mortgaged
Property, the Company shall deliver to the Agent a written notice of renovation
or restoration which shall, among other things, describe the applicable Taking,
the Company's plans with respect to Restoration of such Mortgaged Property.

      D. CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. All Condemnation Proceeds in respect of each of
the Mortgaged Properties and the right thereto are hereby irrevocably assigned
and pledged by each Loan Party to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and
the Agent on behalf of the Lenders is authorized, at its option, to collect and
receive all such Condemnation Proceeds and to give proper receipts and
acquittances therefor; provided, however, that such Loan Party shall have the
right to cause the Agent to apply Condemnation Proceeds in accordance with
subsections 5.11E, 5.11F and 5.11G. Each Loan Party agrees to execute, and to
cause each of its Subsidiaries to execute, such further assignments of any
Condemnation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgaged Property as the Agent may
reasonably require and shall otherwise cooperate with the Agent in obtaining for
the Agent and the Lenders the benefit of any Condemnation Proceeds lawfully or
equitably payable in respect of such Mortgaged Property. In no event shall any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries settle, adjust or compromise any claim for
Condemnation Proceeds in excess of $300,000 in respect of any Mortgaged Property
without the prior written consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
receives any Condemnation Proceeds resulting from such condemnation in respect
of any Mortgaged Property, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary shall promptly
endorse and transfer such Condemnation Proceeds to the Agent and each Loan Party
covenants that until so paid over to the Agent, such Loan Party or Subsidiary,
as the case may be, shall hold such Condemnation Proceeds in trust for the
benefit of the Agent and shall not commingle such Condemnation Proceeds with any
other funds or assets of such Loan Party or Subsidiary or any other Person. If,
prior to the receipt by the Agent of such Condemnation Proceeds, the portion of
the Mortgaged Property, subject to such action or proceeding shall have been
sold on foreclosure of the applicable Mortgage (or by deed in lieu thereof), the
Agent shall have the right to receive such Condemnation Proceeds to the extent
(x) such Condemnation Proceeds are attributable to a Taking occurring prior to
foreclosure or delivery of any deed in lieu thereof and (y) of any deficiency
found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest thereon, and reasonable
counsel fees, costs and disbursements incurred by the Agent in connection with
the collection of such Condemnation Proceeds. The Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by the applicable Loan
Party or Subsidiary thereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default (but not otherwise), the Agent is hereby authorized and
empowered by each Loan Party to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for
Condemnation Proceeds with or without the consent of such Loan Party or any of
its Subsidiaries (and the Company hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes
the Agent as 


                                      117
<PAGE>   129
the Company's lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full
power of substitution, for such purpose).

         E.       CERTAIN MINOR CASUALTIES AND TAKINGS. In the event of any
casualty or Taking with respect to a Mortgaged Property, which will cost (or may
reasonably be expected to cost) less than $300,000 to Restore, as determined by
the Company and so certified in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Agent:

                  (i)      the Company shall commence the Restoration of such
         Mortgaged Property and may deliver to the Agent, no more frequently
         than once in any thirty day period, an Officer's Certificate to the
         Agent certifying (a) the aggregate amount of expenditures made by the
         Company in furtherance of the Restoration since the commencement of the
         Restoration or, if applicable, the delivery of the preceding Officer's
         Certificate and (b) if applicable, that the Restoration has been
         completed;

                  (ii)     upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to
         clause (i) above, the Agent shall reimburse the Company for the
         expenditures referred to in such Officer's Certificate in an aggregate
         amount not greater than the amount of Insurance Proceeds then held by
         the Agent with respect to such casualty or Taking and, the Restoration
         is complete, pay to the Company all remaining Insurance Proceeds then
         held by the Agent with respect to such casualty or Taking to the
         Company.

         F.       REDUCTION OF BORROWING BASE. In the event of any casualty or
Taking with respect to a Mortgaged Property, which will cost (or may reasonably
be expected to cost) more than $300,000 to Restore, as determined by the Company
and so certified in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Agent, the Company
shall elect by written notice delivered to the Agent as soon as practicable
thereafter, but in any event before the earlier of (i) twenty-one (21) days
after the occurrence of such casualty or Taking and (ii) the commencement of the
Restoration of such Mortgaged Property, either:

                  (a)      to Release such Mortgaged Property pursuant to
         subsection 2.11, prepay the Loans to the extent required by subsection
         2.5B(iv) and recompute the Borrowing Base as provided in subsection
         2.5B(iii) or

                  (b)      if all the following conditions shall be satisfied,
         to Restore such Property pursuant to subsection 5.11G:

                           (1) the Maturity Date shall then not have occurred;

                           (2) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default
                  shall have occurred and be continuing;

                           (3) the Agent shall have determined that the Company
                  is in compliance in all respects with the provisions of
                  subsection 5.11G;


                                      118
<PAGE>   130
                           (4) the Agent shall have determined, in its
                  reasonable discretion, that Restoration of such Property is,
                  under the circumstances then existing, physically and
                  economically feasible and can be completed in accordance with
                  subsection 5.11G on or before a date not less than six months
                  prior to the Maturity Date;

                           (5) the Loan Parties and their respective
                  Subsidiaries shall have business interruption insurance
                  complying with subsection 4.10 in an amount at least equal to
                  the reduction in Property EBITDA with respect to such
                  Mortgaged Property, if any, which the Company reasonably
                  expects to suffer during the period of Restoration;

                           (6) either (A) the Net Insurance/Condemnation
                  Proceeds shall be sufficient to complete the costs of such
                  Restoration, as determined by the Agent in its reasonable
                  discretion, or (B) the Loan Parties and their respective
                  Subsidiaries shall have provided a letter of credit
                  satisfactory to the Agent, in its reasonable discretion (or
                  other collateral reasonably satisfactory to the Agent), for
                  the amount of any shortfall in the amount of Net
                  Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds necessary to cover the costs
                  to complete such Restoration.

         If the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall fail to
satisfy the conditions set forth in clause (b) of the preceding sentence or in
subsection 5.11G with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, or shall fail
to diligently and continuously prosecute the Work to completion, as determined
by the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, then, the Borrowing Base shall be
recomputed as provided in subsection 2.5B(iii), the Company shall prepay the
Loans to the extent required by subsection 2.5B(iv) and the Agent shall apply
any or all remaining Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable,
towards such prepayment and the Mortgaged Property shall be Released pursuant to
subsection 2.11.

         G.       RESTORATION WITH NET INSURANCE/CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. In the
event of any casualty or Taking with respect to a Mortgaged Property, which will
cost (or may reasonably be expected to cost) more than $300,000 to Restore, as
determined by the Company and so certified in an Officer's Certificate delivered
to the Agent, if any of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries
elects to Restore a Mortgaged Property, pursuant to this subsection 5.11G and
the conditions set forth in clause (ii) of the first sentence of subsection
5.11F are satisfied, all Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds shall be held by

held therein until completion and final inspection of the Work, and shall be
applied by the Agent to the payment of the cost of Restoring such Mortgaged
Property so damaged or destroyed or of the portion or portions of such Mortgaged
Property not so Taken (the "WORK") and shall be paid out from time to time to
the Company as the Work progresses, subject to retainage as determined by the
Agent and otherwise in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed by the
Agent but subject to each of the following conditions:


                                      119
<PAGE>   131
                  (i)      The Company shall promptly (and in any event within
         90 days after the applicable casualty or Taking) commence, or cause the
         commencement of, Restoration of such Mortgaged Property.

                  (ii)     If the Work is structural or if the cost of the Work,
         as estimated by the Company, shall exceed with respect to a Mortgaged
         Property, the lesser of 25% of the Property Amount with respect to such
         Mortgaged Property and $300,000, the Work shall be in the charge of an

         specifications shall provide for such Work that, upon completion
         thereof, the Improvements shall (x) be in compliance in all material
         respects with all Applicable Laws and (y) be at least equal in value
         and general utility to the Improvements which were on such Property
         prior to the casualty or Taking. Such plans and specifications shall be
         accompanied by (1) a signed estimate of the Company, or, if an
         architect or Engineer is required to supervise the Work, such architect
         or Engineer, stating the estimated cost of completing the Work, which

         the Company and (2) to the extent necessary at such stage of the Work,
         certified copies of all Authorizations required in connection with the
         commencement and performance of the Work.

                  (iii)    Each request for payment shall be made on seven days'
         prior notice to the Agent and shall be accompanied by paid invoices and
         by a certificate to be made by such architect or Engineer, if one be
         required under clause (ii) above, otherwise by an Officer's Certificate
         of the Company, stating (a) that all of the Work completed has been
         done in substantial compliance with the approved plans and
         specifications, if any be required under said clause (ii) above, (b)

         the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers,
         architects or other Persons rendering services or materials for the
         Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and
         that when added to all sums previously paid out by the Agent does not
         exceed the cost of the Work done to the date of such certificate, and
         (c) that either (x) the amount of such proceeds remaining in the hands
         of the Agent, or (y) the amount of such funds, plus funds in the hands
         of the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof from other sources
         irrevocably committed to the completion of the Work in a manner
         satisfactory to the Agent (including delivery of such funds to the
         Agent for application to pay the costs of the Restoration), will be
         sufficient on completion of the Work to pay for the same in full
         (giving in such reasonable detail as the Agent may require an estimate
         of the cost of such completion).


                                      120
<PAGE>   132
                  (iv)     Each request shall be accompanied by waivers of lien
         satisfactory to the Agent covering that part of the Work for which
         payment or reimbursement is being requested and by a search prepared by
         the Title Company satisfactory to the Agent establishing that there has
         not been filed with respect to such Mortgaged Property any mechanics'
         or other lien or instrument for the retention of title in respect of
         any part of the Work not discharged of record or bonded to the
         reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and insuring the continued
         priority of the Mortgage and Assignment of Rents and Leases on such
         Mortgaged Property.

                  (v)      The request for any payment after the Work has been
         completed shall be accompanied by (a) evidence that the improvements
         being rebuilt, repaired or restored have been accomplished in
         accordance with all Applicable Laws and the certificate of occupancy,
         if applicable; and (b) final lien waivers for all labor, materials and
         supplies from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen.

                  (vi)     After commencing the Work, the Company shall, subject
         to Excusable Delays, perform, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party
         or Subsidiary thereof to perform, the Work diligently and in good faith
         in a good and workmanlike manner to completion in accordance with the
         approved plans and specifications, if applicable.

                  (vii)    The Company shall have obtained and maintained, or
         shall have caused the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof to
         obtain and maintain, completed value builders' risk (all risk)
         insurance with an insurer reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and
         with loss payable to the Agent.

                  (viii)   The Agent shall have received, or the Company shall
         have done, each other item reasonably requested by the Agent.

         All costs and expenses of any Restoration, including, without
limitation, any Work, Engineer's fees, architect's fees or contractors fees and
the cost and expenses of complying with this subsection 5.11G, shall be for the
account of the Company.

         Upon completion of the Work and payment in full therefor, the Agent
will return to the Company the amount of any unspent Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds then or thereafter in the hands of the Agent on account of
the casualty or Taking that necessitated such Work, together with all
undisbursed accrued interest thereon. Nothing in this subsection shall prevent
the Agent from applying at any time all or any part of the Insurance Proceeds or

5.13  BRUNDAGE CLAUSE.

      In the event of the enactment of or change in (including a change in
interpretation of) any Applicable Law (i) deducting or allowing any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries to deduct from the value of any Mortgaged Property
for the purpose of taxation any Lien thereon, (ii) subjecting any Lender to any
tax in respect of, or changing the basis of taxation in respect of, the

of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages or in the means of collection of any
such tax, in each such case, so as to affect any Lender or the Notes or the

imposed upon or the cost to any Lender of maintaining the Loans, or to reduce
the amount of any payments receivable under the Notes, the Mortgages or any
other Loan Document, or to invalidate the Lien created by any Security Document,
then, in any such event, the Company shall, within ten days of receipt of a

invalidation, shall have the obligation, to reduce the Commitments and prepay
the Loans, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes;

usurious under Applicable Law, then the Agent may, in its sole discretion,
declare the Loans immediately due and payable and/or require the Company to pay
or reimburse the Lenders for payment of the lawful and non-usurious portion
thereof not less than 180 days after notice of such declaration.

other payments to be made based on a rate that is not fixed to maturity exceeds
50% of the Consolidated Total Indebtedness ("EXCESS DEBT") of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, then, within five Business Days from the day such excess

with counterparties acceptable to the Agent in a notional amount at least equal
to the Excess Debt as in effect from time to time.

prior written notice to the Agent and as long as (i) no Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result

                  (iii) Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance
         of an Event of Default without the need of any further action by Loan
         Parties, each Loan Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints
         the Agent, and all Persons designated by Agent for that purpose
         (including the Cash Manager), at any time, as such Loan Party's true

         appointment by such Loan Party of the Agent as such Loan Party's
         attorney-in-fact shall in no case impose upon the Agent or any such
         Person any obligation or duty to take any actions on behalf of such
         Loan Party or any fiduciary obligations with respect to such Loan
         Party.

         C.       APPLICATION OF CASH FLOW.

hereafter execute, acknowledge, file, record, do and deliver all and any further
acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt,
security agreements, pledges, assignments, financing statements and
continuations thereof, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates,

Collateral, intended now or hereafter to be covered, to the Liens and security
interests created by the Security Documents, to perfect and maintain such Liens
and security interests, and to assure, convey, assign, transfer and confirm unto
the Agent the property and rights hereby conveyed and assigned or intended now
or hereafter to be conveyed or assigned or which any Loan Party or any such

the Agent in its sole discretion determines is reasonably likely to materially
adversely affect any Mortgaged Property, or other Collateral, any Mortgage, the
Lien thereof or any other Loan Document and (ii) institute any action or
proceeding which the Agent reasonably determines should be instituted to protect
the interest or rights of the Agent and the Lenders in any Mortgaged Property or
other Collateral or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Company

may require the Company, at the Company's sole cost and expense, to promptly
within a reasonable time thereafter obtain ALTA Form 3.1 zoning endorsements, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, with respect to all or any portion

event subject to subsection 7.1A that would be an Event of Default with the
lapse of time) has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with subsections 6.6B and 6.6C (assuming, for
purposes of such calculations, that (x) the Company has incurred Indebtedness in
an amount equal to the amount of the proposed Indebtedness or Guaranty (i.e.,
Consolidated Total Indebtedness and Consolidated Interest Expense shall be
adjusted to reflect the addition of the proposed Indebtedness and the removal of
any Indebtedness repaid with the proceeds of such proposed Indebtedness)) and
(y) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased by an amount equal to Property EBITDA
with respect to any Property acquired in whole or in part with the proceeds of
such Indebtedness for the portion of such period commencing on the first day of
the period with


                                      129
<PAGE>   141
respect to which Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated and ending on the day
before such Acquisition Date, as the same shall be determined based upon the
financial statements for such period required by clause (iii) of the definition
of "Property Information" to be delivered with respect to such Property and such
other information with respect thereto that may be provided by the Loan Parties
and their respective Subsidiaries, subject to such adjustments as may be
reasonably required by the Agent in its sole discretion to conform such
financial statements and other information to the basis on which the Company's
financial statements are prepared and (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries are
in compliance with the debt incurrence provisions of all other Indebtedness of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, then the Company and its Subsidiaries may
incur, create, assume, refinance, exchange, refund or otherwise become directly
or indirectly liable for, Indebtedness or become liable with respect to
Guaranties and Contingent Obligations, as the case may be, if such Indebtedness

for which it is exchangeable), whether upon the happening of any event
(excluding (i) the occurrence of an event of default provided that such event of
default has not occurred and (ii) any payment due solely as a result of sales of
assets or a change of control of the Company) or otherwise:

            (a) does not mature, become payable or require the payment of any
      principal amount thereof (or any other amount in lieu thereof) and, with
      respect to such Indebtedness, shall not be mandatorily redeemable,
      pursuant to a sinking fund or otherwise, or redeemable at the option of
      the holder thereof, in whole or in part, before the date that is 91 days
      after the Maturity Date (as such Maturity Date may be extended pursuant to
      subsection 2.2F);

            (b) has required principal payments (or any other amount in lieu
      thereof), or payments to be made under a Guaranty, prior to the Maturity
      Date, but does not mature or become payable prior to the Maturity Date;
      provided that (1) the sum of the aggregate principal payments (or any
      other amount in lieu thereof) due in respect of Indebtedness incurred
      pursuant to this clause (b) after the Restatement Closing Date plus the
      aggregate amount of payments in respect of Guaranties does not exceed (y)

      A.    PROHIBITION ON LIENS. The Loan Parties shall not, and shall not 
permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create,
incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any Restricted
Asset, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits
therefrom, or file or permit the filing of, or permit to remain in effect, any
financing statement or other similar notice of any Lien with respect to any such
property, asset, income or profits under the Uniform Commercial Code of any
State or under any similar recording or notice statute, except (i) Permitted
Encumbrances, (ii) pledges of stock of Subsidiaries in existence on the Closing
Date and approved by the Agent and other pledges of the stock of a Subsidiary to
secure transactions permitted under subsection 6.11, provided that

<PAGE>   143

Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary, are also pledged to secure such Indebtedness
and such Indebtedness is not secured by the assets of, or otherwise recourse to,
the Company or any of its other Subsidiaries.

         B.       EQUITABLE LIEN IN FAVOR OF LENDERS. If any Loan Party or any

whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Liens excepted by the
provisions of subsection 6.2A, the Company shall make or cause to be made
effective provision whereby the Obligations will be secured by such Lien equally
and ratably with any and all other Indebtedness secured thereby as long as any
such Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, this covenant shall not be construed as a consent by the Agent or
any Lender to the creation or assumption of any such Lien not permitted by the
provisions of subsection 6.2A.

         C.       NO FURTHER NEGATIVE PLEDGES. The Loan Parties shall not and
shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into any agreement prohibiting the creation or assumption of
any Lien (whether in favor of the Lenders or otherwise) upon any of the
Mortgaged Properties or other Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired.

      The Loan Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective
Subsidiaries to alter the corporate or legal structure of any Loan Party in any
manner that adversely affects the Agent or the Lenders, to incorporate or
otherwise organize any Subsidiaries, or to enter into any transaction of merger
or consolidation, or liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself (or suffer any
liquidation or dissolution), or make or permit any Transfer or Transfer any
Property except that, from time to time after the Restatement Closing Date:

            (i)  so long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default 
      has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, upon the prior
      approval of the Agent, in its sole discretion, any Wholly Owned Subsidiary
      of the Company may be merged with or into the Company or another Wholly
      Owned Subsidiary, or be liquidated, wound up or dissolved, or all or any
      part of its business, property or assets may be conveyed, sold, leased,
      transferred or otherwise disposed of, in one transaction or a series of
      transactions, to the Company; provided, however, that, in the case of such
      a merger, the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation;
      provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
      consummate the Secondary Merger without the prior approval of the Agent,
      so long as, prior to and immediately following the consummation of the
      Secondary Merger, (A) the Company would be able to incur $1 of additional
      Indebtedness pursuant to the Mortgage Note Indenture (as in effect on the
      Closing Date), (B) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has
      occurred or is continuing, (C) the Secondary Merger could not reasonably
      be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (D) the Company has
      provided evidence, satisfactory to the Agent, as to the absence of any
      material liabilities of Homegate and/or any of Homegate's Subsidiaries
      whether direct or indirect, contingent or absolute, known or unknown other
      than those liabilities certified by the Company to the Agent as of the
      date of the Secondary Merger;

            (ii) the Company and any Subsidiary (other than a Mortgaged Property
      Subsidiary) may create one or more Subsidiaries (including, without
      limitation, Property Subsidiaries); provided that each such Subsidiary
      shall be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company or another Wholly Owned
      Subsidiary and;


                                      139
<PAGE>   151
            (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries may make Transfers; provided
      that if the aggregate fair market value of the assets subject to any
      Transfer, is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 (whether in one
      transaction or a series of related transactions), at least 75% of the
      consideration for such Transfer shall be cash; and

            (iv)  the Company and its Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume and
      permit to exist any Lien permitted pursuant to subsection 6.2.

6.8   ZONING AND CONTRACT CHANGES AND COMPLIANCE.

use or permit the use of any Mortgaged Property in any manner that could result
in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any
other applicable land use law, rule or regulation. The Loan Parties shall not
and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to initiate or consent
to any change in any laws, requirements of Governmental Authorities or
obligations created by private contracts and Material Leases which now or
hereafter could reasonably be likely to materially and adversely affect the
ownership, occupancy, use or operation of any Mortgaged Property without the
prior written consent of the Agent.

6.9   NO JOINT ASSESSMENT; SEPARATE LOTS.

      Each Loan Party shall not suffer, permit or initiate nor shall it permit
any of its Subsidiaries to suffer, permit or initiate, the joint assessment of
any Mortgaged Property (i) with any other real property constituting a separate
tax lot (other than another Mortgaged Property) and (ii) with any portion of any
Mortgaged Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any
other procedure whereby the lien of any Taxes which may be levied against any
such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to any Mortgaged
Property as a single lien. Each Mortgaged Property is comprised of one or more
parcels, each of which, to the knowledge of the Company, constitutes a separate
tax lot (except with respect to any lot constituting another Property) and none
of which constitutes a portion of any other tax lot.

exchange of any property, the rendering of any service or the making of any
Investment) with any holder of 5% or more of any class of equity Securities of
the Company or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or of the Company on terms
that are less favorable than those that could be obtained in a comparable

a holder or Affiliate; provided that with respect to any transaction or series
of transactions involving aggregate payments in excess of 


                                      140
<PAGE>   152
$5,000,000, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company
who are not officers, employees, partners, beneficiaries, principals or holders
of 5% or more of any class of equity Securities of the Company or any Affiliate
of the foregoing or the Company shall determine that the terms thereof are not
less favorable to such Loan Party or Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those
that might be obtained in a comparable transaction or series of transactions at
the time on an arms-length basis from Persons who are not such a holder or
Affiliate; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to
(i) any transaction between the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor or between
any Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) reasonable and customary fees paid to members of
the Boards of Directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (iii) reasonable
compensation payable or paid to senior management personnel of the Company and

or transferred by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to such Person in
contemplation of such leasing, unless (i) the aggregate fair market value of
Properties subject to such transaction, at the date thereof, shall not exceed
$103,000,000, (ii) the leasehold interests in the subject Properties shall be
held by one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, and (iii) Indebtedness or other
obligations of any such Subsidiary (including obligations under the related
leases) may be secured by any or all the assets of such Subsidiary but shall not
be secured by the assets of, or otherwise recourse to, the Company or any of its
other Subsidiaries.

6.12  SALE OR DISCOUNT OF RECEIVABLES.

      The Loan Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, sell with recourse, or discount or
otherwise sell for less than the face value thereof, any of its notes (other
than mortgages and notes owned by the Loan Parties on the Restatement Closing
Date) or accounts receivable; provided that the Company may discount sell or
otherwise sell for less than the face value mortgages and notes acquired after

Closing Date or acquired thereafter if the aggregate discount realized in all
such sales pursuant to this proviso after the Restatement Closing Date does not
exceed $5,000,000.

shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, (i) enter into any
Lease other than Leases incidental to the operation of the Mortgaged Properties
as hotels or (ii) enter into any Material Lease without the prior written
approval of the Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; it being understood and agreed that if after the
Restatement Closing Date any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a
Material Lease, the Agent may require that the Tenant thereunder enter into a
Tenant Subordination Agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
the Agent. In the event any Material Lease necessary to the operation of any
Mortgaged Property as a hotel is terminated, the applicable Loan Party or
Subsidiary thereof shall replace such Lease with a suitable comparable Lease
within a reasonable period of time following such termination. The Loan Parties
shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, enter

convertible or for which it is exchangeable), or upon the happening of any

such Subsidiary obtain knowledge or notice thereof, as the case may be; or

      E. INVALIDITY OF LOAN DOCUMENT; FAILURE OF SECURITY; REPUDIATION OF
OBLIGATIONS. At any time after the execution and delivery thereof, (i) any Loan

or thereof) or shall be declared null and void, or the Agent shall not have or
shall cease to have a valid and perfected first priority Lien or security
interest in any Collateral purported to be covered thereby, in each case for any
reason other than the failure of the Agent to take any action within its
control; or (iii) any Loan Party shall contest in writing the validity or
enforceability of any Loan Document in writing or deny in writing that it has
any further liability, including with respect to future advances by the Lenders,
under any Loan Document to which it is a party; or

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any interest herein or
therein, or if any Transfer occurs other than in accordance with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents; or

      G. OTHER DEFAULTS UNDER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR RELATED DOCUMENTS. Any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall default in the performance of or
compliance with any term contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or any material term of any Related Document to which such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary is a party, other than any such term referred to in any other clause
of this subsection 7.1, and such default shall not have been remedied or waived
within 30 days after the earlier of (i) such Loan Party's or such Subsidiary's
obtaining knowledge of such default or (ii) receipt by such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary of notice from the Agent of such default; provided, however, that if
such default cannot be cured solely by the payment of money and the cure of such
default requires a period in excess of 30 days, and if such Loan Party or such

      O.    EMPLOYMENT OF SIMON AND ELWOOD. Either of David Simon or John Elwood
cease to be employed in a senior position by the Company for any reason
(including the voluntary termination of such employment by David Simon or John
Elwood) except in the event of death or disability of either of David Simon or
John Elwood or the termination of any or all of their employment by the Company
for cause; or

      P.    OWNERSHIP OF SUBSIDIARIES. The Company shall cease to own, directly 
or indirectly, all the equity Securities of any Subsidiary that at the time in
question is obligated with respect to a Subsidiary Guaranty.

THEN (i) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in subsection
7.1I or 7.1J, each of (a) the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on
the Loans and (b) all other Obligations shall automatically become immediately
due and payable, without notice, presentment, demand, protest or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Company and the obligations of each Lender to make any Loan shall thereupon
terminate, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other
Event of Default, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to
the Company, declare all or any portion of the amounts described in clauses (a)
and (b) above to be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and
payable and the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan shall thereupon
terminate.

            The occurrence of any condition or event may constitute an Event of
Default (or a Potential Event of Default) under more than one provision of this
subsection 7.1.

7.2   REMEDIES.

      A.    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more 
of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to the Agent or
the Lenders against the Company under this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages,
the Security Documents or any of the other Loan Documents, or at law or in
equity, may be exercised by the Agent, in such order as the Agent in its own
sole discretion at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any
portion of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not
the Agent shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for
the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with
respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the right in its sole
discretion to bring an action or proceeding against any Loan Party without first
seeking recourse against the Collateral or any part thereof, and the Agent shall
have the right to seek recourse against such portions of or all of the
Collateral in such order and such manner as the Agent in its sole discretion
shall determine. Any such actions taken by the Agent shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Agent in its sole discretion
may determine, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of the Agent or the Lenders
permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan
Documents.


                                      147
<PAGE>   159
      B. In the event of the foreclosure or other action by the Agent to enforce
its remedies in connection with one or more of the Mortgaged Properties or any
other Collateral, whether such foreclosure (or other remedy) yields net proceeds
in an amount less than, equal to or more than the Property Amount of such
Mortgaged Property, the Agent shall apply all net proceeds received to repay the
Obligations, the Obligations shall be reduced to the extent of such net proceeds
and the remaining portion of the Obligations shall remain outstanding and
secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, it being understood and
agreed by the Company that the Company is liable for the repayment of the
Obligations and that any "excess" foreclosure proceeds are part of the
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted security granted to the Agent on behalf
of the Lenders pursuant to the Mortgages; provided, however, that, if the Agent
so elects, the Loans and the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated only
to the extent of the net proceeds actually received by the Lenders with respect
to any individual Mortgaged Property (or, in the event that the Agent on behalf
of the Lenders is the purchaser of such Mortgaged Property by Credit Bid at a
foreclosure sale, the Loans and the Notes shall be deemed to have been
accelerated only at such time as the Agent subsequently disposes of such
Property and then only to the extent of the amount of such Credit Bid) and
applied in reduction of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the Notes, after payment by the Company of all transaction
costs and expenses and costs of enforcement.

      C. It is intended that the Liens of the Mortgages shall each be construed
and treated as a separate, distinct Lien for the purpose of securing the entire
Obligations secured thereby in the same manner as though each Mortgaged Property
was mortgaged and transferred to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders by a
separate and distinct mortgage and security agreement, so that if it should at
any time appear or be held that any Mortgage fails to mortgage, and transfer to
the Agent on behalf of the Lenders a Lien upon and the title to any Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, as against creditors of the Company other than
the Lenders or otherwise, such failure shall not operate to affect in any way
the transfer of the other Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof to the Agent
on behalf of the Lenders; but nothing contained herein or in the Mortgages shall
be construed as requiring the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to resort to any
Mortgaged Property for the satisfaction of the Obligations secured thereby in
preference or priority to any other Mortgaged Property thereby conveyed, but the
Agent, acting in its sole discretion may seek satisfaction out of all of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

      D. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law
and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default the Agent is hereby authorized by the
Company at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Company or to
any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and
all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust
accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent to
or for the credit or the account of the Company against and on account of the
obligations and liabilities of the Company to the Agent under this Agreement and
the Notes, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or
connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of
whether or 


                                      148
<PAGE>   160
not (i) the Agent shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of
or the interest on the Loan or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become
due and payable pursuant to subsection 8.1 and although said obligations and
liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

      E. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, to the extent permitted
by law, to impound and take possession of books, records, notes, and other
documents evidencing the Company's Deposit Accounts, accounts receivable and
other claims for payment of money (including Rents) arising in connection with
the Mortgaged Properties, to give notice to the obligors thereunder of the
Agent's interest therein, and to make direct collections on such Deposit
Accounts, accounts receivable and claims.

      F. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default in the
payment of any principal or interest of any Indebtedness owed or alleged to be
owed by the Company or any Subsidiary, and following the initiation of any
proceeding or the taking of any other action to collect the payment thereof by
the Person entitled to such payment, which proceeding or action could reasonably
be expected to directly affect any Collateral, the Agent may, in its sole
discretion, advance either to such Person or to the Company, for payment to such
Person, all or any portion of the amount of such payment, to the extent the
Agent deems necessary or proper to protect the security of the Collateral. Each
such advance shall be deemed a Loan hereunder and shall be subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.

      G. The rights, powers and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this
Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy which the Agent or the Lenders may have against the Company pursuant to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with respect to the
Company, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The rights, powers and
remedies of the Agent and the Lenders may be pursued singly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Agent, acting in its own sole
discretion, may determine. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or
power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or
power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or
power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. A waiver of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with
respect to the Company shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default by the Company or to impair any
remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

                                   SECTION 8.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

8.1   ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS IN LOANS.

      A. GENERAL. Each Lender shall have the right at any time, so long as it
has obtained the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), to (i) sell, assign, transfer or negotiate to any
Eligible Assignee (provided that such Eligible Assignee complies with the
requirements of subsection 2.8B(iii) as of the date it becomes a Lender
hereunder, to the extent applicable), or (ii) sell participations to any Person
in, all or any part of its Commitment or any Loan or Loans made by it or
participations therein or any other interest herein or in any other Obligations
owed to it; provided, however, that no such assignment or participation shall,
without the consent of the Company, require the Company to file a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify such
assignment or participation under the securities laws of any state; and
provided, further that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of
any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment,
transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Loan Commitment and
the Loans of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or
participation. In the case of any assignment authorized under this subsection
8.1, (i) the Agent shall notify the Company of the effective date of such
assignment, (ii) as of such effective date, the assignee shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to
it, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (iii) the
assigning Lender shall, to the extent that its rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned by it, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement. In the event of an assignment hereunder, the
Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitments of such assignee.
Except with respect to the portion of the Loans and Commitments assigned
pursuant to this subsection 8.1, no Lender shall, as between the Company and
such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any
sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or any granting of participations
in, all or any part of its Commitment or the Loans, or other Obligations owed to
such Lender.

      B. PARTICIPATIONS. The Company and each Lender hereby acknowledge and
agree that, solely for purposes of subsections 2.7, 2.8, and 8.5, (i) any
participation will give rise to a direct obligation of the Company to the
participant and (ii) the participant shall be considered to be a "Lender";
provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled
to receive in respect of the amount of the participation effected by such
transferor Lender to such participant had no such participation occurred and the
Company shall reduce the amount payable to the transferor Lender by the amount
payable to the participant.

      C. ASSIGNMENTS TO FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS. In addition to the assignments
and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this subsection
8.1, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and the
other Obligations owed to such Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral
security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of 


                                      150
<PAGE>   162
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by
such Federal Reserve Bank. No Lender shall, as between the Company and such
Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such
assignment and pledge.

      D. INFORMATION. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning the
Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time
to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
participants).

8.2   EXPENSES.

      Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated,
the Company agrees to pay promptly (i) all the costs of furnishing all opinions
of counsel for the Company and the other Loan Parties (including any opinions
requested by the Agent) as to any legal matters arising hereunder and of the
each Loan Party's performance of and compliance with all agreements and
conditions on its part to be performed or complied with under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents including with respect to confirming compliance with
environmental, insurance and solvency requirements and with respect to the
Security Documents and the Liens created pursuant thereto; (ii) actual costs and
expenses of creating, perfecting and maintaining Liens in favor of the Agent for
the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to any Loan Document, including filing and
recording fees and expenses, mortgage recording taxes and transfer and stamp
taxes, title searches, title insurance premiums, UCC searches and UCC filing
charges; (iii) all the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent
and payable to auditors, accountants, architects, engineers or appraisers and
any environmental or other consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained
by the Agent or its counsel in connection with performing due diligence,
including obtaining and reviewing any Appraisals, any environmental audits or
reports, market surveys, title reports, surveys and similar information; (iv)
all the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Agent in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of
the Loan Documents and the syndication of the Loans, including, without
limitation, in connection with any consents, amendments, waivers or other
modifications to the Loan Documents; (v) all reasonable expenses incurred by the
Agent, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel for the Agent (including allocated costs of internal
counsel) in connection with (a) the administration of the Loan Documents and any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, and (b) the
preparation or review of any documents or matters requested by any Loan Party;
and (vi) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of settlement, incurred by the
Agent and the Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any
payments due from the Company hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by
reason of such Event of Default or in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the
nature of a "work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

8.3   INDEMNITY.

      A. INDEMNITY. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to
subsection 8.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, the Company agrees to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless the
Agent, the Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent, Lenders and Bankers and their
respective Affiliates and Persons deemed to be "CONTROLLING PERSONS" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives of the
foregoing (collectively, "INDEMNIFIED PERSONS" and individually, an "INDEMNIFIED
PERSON"), to the full extent lawful, from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses or other obligations of any
kind or nature whatsoever incurred by each such Indemnified Person (including
fees, charges and disbursements of both counsel and the allocated costs and
expenses of internal counsel for such Indemnified Person) which are related to,
arise out of or result from (a) any untrue statements or alleged untrue
statements or omissions or alleged omissions to state therein a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, in each case made or, to the extent contemplated
by the Loan Documents, to be made, by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of
its Affiliates, (x) in the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties
contained in the Loan Documents, (y) in or pursuant to the Loan Documents or the
Related Documents or (z) otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents or the
Related Documents, (b) with respect to information provided by or on behalf of
any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates for use in connection with any
syndication, assignment or participation of any portion of the Commitments, the
Loans, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or the Obligations, or in connection
with any Loan Document or any Related Document or any transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, (c) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents
(including the Lenders' agreements to make the Loans or the use or intended use
of the proceeds thereof) or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents
(including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the
Collateral or the enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranty), (d) any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Person with the consent of the Company
or in conformity with the instructions of the Company, or (e) any other
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the Related Documents and
will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all reasonable costs and expenses,
including fees and disbursements of both outside and internal counsel for such
Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating,
preparing for, or defending any formal or informal claim, action, suit,
investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, whether or not in connection with
pending or threatening litigation, caused by or arising out of or in connection
with the foregoing, whether or not such Indemnified Person is named as a party
thereto and whether or not any liability results therefrom. The Company shall
not, however, be responsible for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
or expenses pursuant to clauses (c), (d) or (e) of the preceding sentence which
have resulted primarily from the bad faith or recklessness of such Indemnified
Person as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Neither the Agent nor any other Indemnified Person shall have any liability
(whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort otherwise) to any of the Loan
Parties and their respective Affiliates or any director, officer, employee,
agent or representative of any of the foregoing, or any other person, 


                                      152
<PAGE>   164
for or in connection with the foregoing, or otherwise arising out of or in any
way relating to the matters contemplated by the Loan Documents, the Related
Documents or any commitment to lend except for such liability for losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses of any Indemnified Person
pursuant to clauses (c), (d) or (e) of the preceding sentence to the extent they
are determined to have resulted primarily from the bad faith or recklessness of
such Indemnified Person as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction and in no event shall the Agent or any other Indemnified
Person be responsible for or liable to any of the Loan Parties or any of their
respective Affiliates or any other Person for consequential, punitive or
exemplary damages. The Company further agrees that the Loan Parties shall not,
nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries to, without the prior
written consent of the Agent and Bankers, settle or compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit,
investigation, inquiry or other proceeding in respect of which indemnification
is actually sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent
includes an unconditional release of the Agent and each other Indemnified Person
hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit,
investigation, inquiry or other proceeding.


      B. PROCEDURE. If any action, suit, investigation, inquiry or other
proceeding is commenced, as to which an Indemnified Person proposes to demand
indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Company with
reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified
Person to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any of its
Affiliates from its obligations hereunder (except to the extent that the Company
or such Affiliate is prejudiced in a material respect by such failure to so
promptly notify). The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any
such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and the
payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, or to participate
in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of the Indemnified Person unless (i) the Company has agreed to pay
such fees and expenses, (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly upon written
demand therefor to assume the defense of such action, suit, investigation,
inquiry or other proceeding, and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person in connection therewith or (iii) such Indemnified Person
shall have been advised by counsel that there exists actual or potential
conflicting interests between the Company and such Indemnified Person, including
situations in which one or more legal defenses may be available to such
Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to
the Company, in which case, if such Indemnified Person notifies the Company in
writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company,
the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or
proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that the
Company shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit, investigation,
inquiry or other proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related
actions, suits, investigations, inquiries or other proceedings in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at
any time for

                                      153
<PAGE>   165
all such Indemnified Persons (in addition to local counsel), which firm shall be
designated in writing by the Agent.

      C. CONTRIBUTION. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
with respect to matters subject to subsection 8.3A if a claim for
indemnification is made pursuant to these provisions but is found in a final
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal)
that such indemnification is not available for any reason (except, with respect
to indemnification sought solely pursuant to subsection 8.3A, for the reasons
specified in the second sentence of subsection 8.3A), even though the express
provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, or is insufficient
to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company, on the one hand, and
the Agent, the Lenders or Bankers, on the other hand, shall contribute to such
loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense for which such indemnification
or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, Lenders or Bankers, on
the other hand, in connection with the transactions described in the Loan
Documents and the Related Documents, as well as any other equitable
considerations. The parties agree that for the purpose of this subsection 8.3C,
the relative benefits to the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on
the one hand, and the Agent, Lenders and Bankers, on the other hand shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the proceeds received or to be received
by the Loan Parties from the Loan Documents bears to the fees paid or to be paid
to the Agent, Lenders and Bankers under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Agent, Lenders and Bankers shall not be required to contribute
under this subsection 8.3C any amount in excess of the amount of fees actually
received by the Agent, Lenders and Bankers, respectively, in respect of the Loan
Documents. The Company, Agent, Bankers and the Lenders agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 8.3C were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method which does not take
into account the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 8.3C.

      D. NO LIMITATION. The foregoing rights to indemnity and contribution shall
be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Person may have at common law
or otherwise and shall remain in full force and effect following the completion
or any termination of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and
the Related Documents. In no event shall the Agent, the Lenders, or Bankers be
responsible or liable to any person for consequential damages which may be
alleged as a result of the Loan Documents and the Related Documents or any
transaction contemplated thereby.

      E. INDEPENDENCE OF INDEMNITY. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the
provisions of this subsection 8.3 are separate from and in addition to the
provisions contained in the Environmental Indemnity.


                                      154
<PAGE>   166
8.4   NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP.

      The Lenders and the Company acknowledge and agree that the relationship
created hereunder or under the other Loan Documents is that of creditor/debtor.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Company through its directors,
officers and employees, is a knowledgeable and sophisticated business
practitioner with particular expertise and broad experience in the area of real
estate acquisition and finance; (b) the Agent and the Lenders individually and
collectively, do not owe, and have expressly disclaimed, any fiduciary or
special obligation to the Company and/or any of the Company's partners, agents,
or representatives; and (c) nothing contained in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall affect the relationship between the Lenders and the Company
as that of creditor/debtor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Nothing
herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership,
tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between the Company, any other
Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof and the Agent or any Lender nor to grant the
Agent or the Lenders any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of
mortgagee or lender.

8.5   RATABLE SHARING.

      The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall,
whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made
and applied in accordance with this Agreement), by realization upon security,
through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim
or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or
otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral
under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and
owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively,
the "AGGREGATE AMOUNTS DUE" to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion
received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment
shall (i) notify the Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment
and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it
shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation
simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment)
in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of
Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the
Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, however, that if all or part of such
proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter
recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company
or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid
for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Company expressly
consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a
participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien,
set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Company
to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the
amount of the participation held by that holder.

8.6   AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

      A. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any
Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written
concurrence of Majority Lenders; provided that (i) no such amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective without the
written concurrence of all Lenders if such amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or consent (A) increases the amount of any of the Commitments or reduces
the principal amount of any of the Loans; (B) changes in any manner the
definition of "Pro Rata Share", the definition of "Supermajority Lenders" or the

commitment fees payable pursuant to subsection 2.4A; (G) increases the maximum
duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder; (H) releases any Lien granted
in favor of Agent with respect to any of the Collateral except in accordance

written concurrence of Supermajority Lenders if such amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent (A) waives, amends, supplements or modifies any
provision requiring any mandatory prepayment of the Loans, (B) waives, amends,
supplements or modifies the financial covenants contained in subsection 6.6, (C)
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (x) prior
to acceleration of the Obligations, results in a determination to make a Loan
hereunder or (y) waives, amends, supplements or modifies the provisions of any
Loan Document, and (D) relates to any mergers, liquidations or other
transactions pursuant to subsections 6.7(i) and (iii) (except to the extent such
subsections apply to Subsidiaries of the Company), (iii) no amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be
effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the holder of
that Note; and (iv) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
provision of Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its
terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of the Agent shall be
effective without the written concurrence of the Agent. The Agent may, but shall
have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments,
modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Company in any
case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver
or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 8.6A shall be binding
upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by
the Company, on the Company. 


                                      156
<PAGE>   168
The Company shall be entitled to conclusively assume that any written amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any Loan Document executed by the Agent
has been duly authorized, to the extent necessary, by the Lenders.

      If the Agent notifies any Lender in writing that one or more requirements
set forth in subsection 3.1 will not be satisfied, or that performance of all or
any part of such requirement will be deferred, and, subsequent to such
notification, such Lender delivers (or continues to authorize delivery of) its
signature page hereto, then such Lender shall be deemed to have waived (subject
to any conditions set forth in the applicable notice) such requirement as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Commitments.

      B. DEEMED CONSENT. If the Agent delivers a written request for the
Lenders' approval or a proposed amendment or modification to, or waiver of, this
Agreement, each Lender shall, within 10 Business Days of receiving such request
for approval or proposed amendment, modification or waiver, give Agent written
notice that either (i) it grants its consent or approves such amendment,
modification or waiver or (ii) it does not grant its consent or does not approve
such amendment, modification or waiver; provided that if any Lender does not
respond within such 10 Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have
granted its consent or approved such amendment, modification or waiver; provided
further that the Agent shall send such request by telecopy, messenger or
overnight courier.

8.7   INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS.

      All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a
particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the
fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within
the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event
of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition
exists.

8.8   NOTICES.

      Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other
communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and
may be personally served, telexed, or sent by telefacsimile or courier service
and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier
service, upon receipt of telefacsimile or telex; provided, however, that notices
to the Agent shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the
address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party's name on
the signature pages hereof or (i) as to the Company and the Agent, such other
address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to
the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as
shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to the Agent.

8.9   SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

      A. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans
hereunder and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to
the contrary, the representations and warranties set forth in subsection 4.2G
(to the extent it incorporates the Environmental Indemnity) shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

      B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the
contrary, the agreements of the Company set forth in subsections 2.7, 2.8, 3.5A,
3.6, 6.8 (to the extent it incorporates the Environmental Indemnity), 8.2, 8.3
and 8.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.

8.10  AGENT'S DISCRETION.

      Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document the Agent
exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or
term is to be satisfactory to the Agent, the decision of the Agent to approve or
disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not
satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in
the sole discretion of the Agent. The Company acknowledges and agrees that,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, certain decisions to
be made by the Agent under this Agreement may be subject to or determined by the
further decision by the Lenders or a percentage of the Lenders.

8.11  OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; INDEPENDENT NATURE OF THE LENDERS' RIGHTS.

      The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall
be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.
Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by
the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a
separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and
enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary
for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for
such purpose.

8.12  REMEDIES OF THE COMPANY.

      In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that the Agent or any
Lender or their respective agents has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed
acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement, the Notes, the
Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, the Agent, such Lender or such agent, as
the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, the Company
agrees that none of the Agent, such Lender or such agents, shall be liable for
any monetary damages, and the Company's sole remedies shall be limited to


                                      158
<PAGE>   170
commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgement. The
parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether the
Agent or any Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action
seeking declaratory judgment.

8.13  MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE.

      Neither the Agent nor any Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal
any assets in favor of the Company, any other Loan Party or any other party or
against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the
Company or any other Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Lenders or
the Agent (or to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders), or the Agent or the
Lenders enforce any security interests or the Agent exercises its rights of
setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or
setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal
law, common law or any equitable cause of action, then, to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied,
and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not
been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

8.14  MAXIMUM AMOUNT.

      A. It is the intention of the Company and the Lenders to conform strictly
to the usury and similar laws relating to interest from time to time in force,
and all agreements between the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries
and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or
written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event
whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the
amount paid or agreed to be paid in the aggregate to the Lenders as interest
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in any other security agreement
given to secure the indebtedness of the Company to the Lenders, or in any other
document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable usury or such
other laws (the "MAXIMUM AMOUNT"). If under any circumstances whatsoever
fulfillment of any provision hereof, or any of the other Loan Documents, at the
time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the
Maximum Amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the Maximum Amount. For the purposes of calculating the actual amount
of interest paid and/or payable hereunder in respect of laws pertaining to usury
or such other laws, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof for
the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of the Company evidenced
hereby, outstanding from time to time shall, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of
disbursement of the proceeds of the Notes until payment in full of all of such
indebtedness, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such
indebtedness is uniform through the term hereof. The terms and provisions of
this subsection shall control and supersede every other provision of all
agreements between the Company or any endorser of the Notes and the Lenders.


                                       159
<PAGE>   171
      B. If under any circumstances any Lender shall ever receive an amount
which would exceed the Maximum Amount, such amount shall be deemed a payment in
reduction of the principal amount of the Loans and shall be treated as a
voluntary prepayment under subsection 2.5B(i) and shall be so applied in
accordance with subsection 2.5 hereof or if such excessive interest exceeds the
unpaid balance of the Loans and any other indebtedness of the Company in favor
of such Lender, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by
mistake and shall be refunded to the Company.

8.15  SEVERABILITY.

      In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or any Note or
any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction or under any set of circumstances, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision
or obligation in any other jurisdiction or under any other set of circumstances,
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

8.16  HEADINGS.

      Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

LIMITATION SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW

respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and the successors and assigns of the Agent and the Lenders (it being
understood that the Lenders' rights of assignment are subject to subsection
8.1). Neither the Company's rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest
therein may be assigned or delegated by the Company.

8.19  CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS.

            ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OBLIGATIONS
THEREUNDER, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY

8.20  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

      EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN
THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE
LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED HEREBY AND THEREBY. The
scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes
that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this
transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and
all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that
this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that
each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in


                                      161
<PAGE>   173
their related future dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents
that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly
and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal
counsel.

THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR
IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS
SUBSECTION 8.20 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS
OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.

      In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written
consent to a trial by the court.

8.21  COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS.

      This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto
or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may
be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single
counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same
document. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a
counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Company and
the Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and
authorization of delivery thereof.

8.22  MATERIAL INDUCEMENT.

      The Company acknowledges that its representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are

Loans, that the Lenders have already relied on such representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements in entering into this Agreement and agreeing to make
the Loans (notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by or
on behalf of the Lenders), and that the Lenders will continue to rely on such
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in their future dealings
with the Company. The Company agrees that its representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are reasonable in purpose and scope. The Company represents and
warrants that it has reviewed this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with

8.23  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

      This Agreement is evidence of the indebtedness incurred pursuant hereto
and, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates
and other documents delivered to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and
thereunder, embodies the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements,
written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

8.24  CONFIDENTIALITY.

      Each Lender and the Agent, severally and not jointly, agrees to exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to keep any non-public information delivered or
made available to such Lender or the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, which
any Loan Party or its authorized representative has identified as confidential
information, confidential from any Person other than Persons employed by or
retained by such Lender or the Agent who are or are expected to become engaged
in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans and other
extensions of credit or Obligations hereunder; provided, that nothing herein
shall prevent any Lender or the Agent from disclosing such information to any
bona fide assignee, transferee or participant that has agreed to comply with
this subsection 8.24 in connection with the contemplated assignment or transfer
of any Commitments, Loans or other extensions of credit or Obligations hereunder
or participation therein or as required or requested by any Governmental
Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in
connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Loan Documents.

                                   SECTION 9.
                               AGENT AND CO-AGENTS


9.1 APPOINTMENT.

      Bankers Trust Company is hereby appointed the Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to act as
its agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Agent agrees to act upon the express conditions contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this
Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agent, Syndication Agent,
Documentation Agent (for purposes of Section 9 only, Syndication Agent and
Documentation Agent are collectively referred to as the "CO-AGENTS") and


                                      163
<PAGE>   175
Lenders and no Loan Party or any other Person shall have any rights as a third
party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions
and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall
act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to
have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or
for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

9.2   POWERS; GENERAL IMMUNITY.

      A. DUTIES SPECIFIED. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take
such action on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the
terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are
expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and it may
perform such duties by or through their agents or employees. The Agent shall not
have, by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or
shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth
herein or therein. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care
in servicing the Loans if it accords the Loans treatment substantially equal to
that which the Agent accords loans for its own account.

      B. NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR CERTAIN MATTERS. The Agent and the Co-Agents
shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals
or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements
or in any financial or other statements (other than representations made by the
Agent or the Co-Agents in this Agreement), instruments, reports or certificates
or any other documents furnished or made by the Agent or the Co-Agents to
Lenders or by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Agent or the Co-Agents or
any Lender in connection with the other Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the
Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor
(except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents) shall the Agent or any
Co-Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance of any of the
provisions of the Loan Documents or the existence or possible existence of any
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default. Anything contained in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Agent and the Co-Agents shall not have any liability arising from confirmations
of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof, absent
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

      C. EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. Neither the Agent nor the Co-Agents nor any of
their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for
any action taken or omitted by the Agent or the Co-Agents under or in connection
with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by the Agent's or any
Co-Agent's gross negligence or 


                                      164
<PAGE>   176
willful misconduct. If the Agent or any Co-Agent shall request instructions from
Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to take an
action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
the Agent or such Co-Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking
such action unless and until the Agent or such Co-Agent shall have received
instructions from Majority Lenders (or, if expressly required by the terms of
this Agreement, Supermajority Lenders or all Lenders). Without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing, (i) the Agent and the Co-Agents shall be entitled
to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication,
instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely
and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who
may be attorneys for the Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and
other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Agent or any Co-Agent as a result of the
Agent or such Co-Agent's acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of Majority Lenders (or, if expressly required by this Agreement,
all Lenders).

      D. AGENT AND CO-AGENTS ENTITLED TO ACT AS LENDER. The agency hereby
created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or
impose any duties or obligations upon, the Agent or any Co-Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in
the Loans, the Agent and the Co-Agents shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term
"Lender" or "Lenders" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly
otherwise indicates, include the Agent and the Co-Agents in its individual
capacity as a Lender. The Agent, the Co-Agents and their Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if
it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and
other consideration from Company or any other Loan Party for services in
connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the
same to Lenders.

9.3   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR APPRAISAL OF CREDIT-
      WORTHINESS.

      Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company, its
Subsidiaries and the other Loan Parties in connection with the making of the
Loans under the Credit Agreement and that it has made and shall continue to make
its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company, its Subsidiaries and
the other Loan Parties. The Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any
such appraisal on behalf of Lenders. The Agent shall not have any responsibility
with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided
by the Agent to Lenders.


                                      165
<PAGE>   177
9.4   RIGHT TO INDEMNITY.

      Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to
indemnify the Agent and the Co-Agents, to the extent that the Agent or any
Co-Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any other Loan Party
within 30 days of delivery by the Agent or any Co-Agent to the Company of a
written request for reimbursement, for and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Agent or any Co-Agent in performing its duties
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the
Agent or a Co-Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's or
any Co-Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any expenses
incurred by the Agent or any Co-Agent prior to the Restatement Closing Date;
provided further that upon the consummation of an assignment of all or any
portion of a Lender's interest under the Loan Documents in accordance with
subsection 8.1 of this Agreement (including without limitation the requirements
that (i) the assignee assume all obligations (or the applicable percentage
thereof) of the assigning Lender and (ii) the Agent consent in writing to such
assignment), the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations
pursuant to this Section 9.4 (or the applicable percentage thereof). If any
indemnity furnished to the Agent or any Co-Agent for any purpose shall, in the
opinion of the Agent or such Co-Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the
Agent or such Co-Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not
commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
furnished. The Agent and Co-Agents shall remit to each applicable Lender its
allocable share of any recovery from the Company of amounts previously paid by
such Lender.

9.5   PAYEE OF NOTE TREATED AS OWNER.

      The Agent may deem and treat the holder of any Note as the owner thereof
for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent by the registered holder
of the applicable Note. Any request, authority or consent of any person or
entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of that Note or of any Note or Notes
issued in exchange therefor.

9.6   SECURITY DOCUMENTS, ETC.

      A. SECURITY DOCUMENTS. Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Agent to
enter into the Security Documents as secured party on behalf of and for the
benefit of Lenders in connection with the Obligations and agrees to be bound by
the terms of the 


                                      166
<PAGE>   178
Security Documents; provided that anything in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding:

            (i)  The Agent is authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the
      necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time
      to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Security
      Documents which may be necessary or reasonably desirable to perfect and

         any amount of the principal of and interest on any one or more of the
         Swing Line Loans. The provisions of subsection 2.7B shall apply to such
         payments.

                  Unless otherwise directed by Company in writing to the Agent,
         if Revolving Loans shall be made on the same day on which Swing Line
         Loans shall be repaid, the Revolving Loans shall be made immediately
         before the Swing Line Loans shall be repaid. To the extent that the
         proceeds of the Revolving Loans are to be applied to repay Swing Line
         Loans and other amounts in connection therewith, such proceeds shall
         not be paid to the Company and shall be applied by the Agent for such
         purpose.

                  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
         notwithstanding, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments
         shall be subject to the limitations that the Total Utilization shall
         not exceed the least of (i) the Borrowing Base, (ii) the aggregate
         amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect and (iii) the
         aggregate amount of title insurance pursuant to Title Policies
         delivered pursuant to subsections 2.10A(vi) and 3.1F(v) and (xiii).

                  (ii) Swing Line Loans. Each Lender severally agrees, subject
         to the limitations set forth below with respect to the maximum amount
         of Swing Line Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to
         make, upon the election of the Company, a portion of the Revolving Loan
         Commitments available to the Company from time to time during the
         period from the First Amendment Date to but excluding the Maturity Date
         by making Swing Line Loans to Company in an aggregate amount not
         exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line
         Loan Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in subsection
         2.5B. The original amount of each Lender's Swing Line Commitment is set
         forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.2 annexed hereto and the
         aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitments is $41,000,000;
         provided that the Swing Line Loan Commitments of any Lender shall be
         adjusted to give effect to any assignment of the Swing Line Loan
         Commitment of such Lender pursuant to subsection 8.1B; provided,
         further, that any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments made
         pursuant to subsection 2.4B(ii) or 2.4B(iii) which reduces the
         aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments to an amount less than the then


                                       6

<PAGE>   190

         current amount of the aggregate Swing Line Loan Commitments shall
         result in an automatic reduction of the aggregate Swing Line Loan
         Commitments to the amount of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments
         and shall also result in a corresponding reduction in the Swing Line
         Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share,
         without any further action on the part of Company, Agent or Lenders;
         provided, further, that the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitments
         available shall be reduced by the amount of any Revolving Loan
         outstanding until such amount is repaid and the Swing Line Commitment
         of each Lender shall also be correspondingly reduced in proportion to
         its Pro Rata Share until such amount is repaid. The Swing Line Loan
         Commitment shall expire on the Maturity Date and all Swing Line Loans
         and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line
         Loans shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed
         under this subsection 2.2A(ii) may be repaid and reborrowed to but
         excluding the Maturity Date.

                  Unless otherwise directed by Company in writing to the Agent,
         if Swing Line Loans shall be made on the same day on which Revolving
         Loans shall be repaid, the Swing Line Loans shall be made immediately
         before the Revolving Loans shall be repaid. To the extent that the
         proceeds of the Swing Line Loans are to be applied to repay Revolving
         Loans and other amounts in connection therewith, such proceeds shall
         not be paid to the Company and shall be so applied by the Agent for
         such purpose.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
         Swing Line Loans and the Swing Line Loan Commitments shall be subject
         to the following limitations:

                           (a) in no event shall the Total Utilization exceed
                  the least of (i) the Borrowing Base, (ii) the aggregate amount
                  of the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect and (iii) the
                  aggregate amount of title insurance pursuant to Title Policies
                  delivered pursuant to subsections 2.10A(vi) and 3.1F(v) and
                  3.1F(xiii); and

                           (b) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the
                  Swing Line Loans exceed the Minimum Collateral Value Amount;
                  provided, however, that the Company may deposit a portion of
                  the proceeds of a Swing Line Loan into the Collateral Accounts
                  so that after giving effect to such deposit, the aggregate
                  amount of the Swing Line Loans does not exceed the Minimum
                  Collateral Value.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
         outstanding principal amount of the Loans under this Agreement at all
         times shall consist of the outstanding principal amounts under the
         Revolving Loans and under the Swing Line Loans, respectively.

                  Upon (x) the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to
         subsection 7.1A (including, without limitation, a failure timely to pay
         a Swing Line Loan) or (y) upon the occurrence of any other Event of
         Default or a Potential Event of Default and at the 


                                       7

<PAGE>   191

         written request of Lenders having or holding more than 50% of the
         aggregate Swing Line Commitments or, if such Swing Line Commitments
         have terminated or expired, the aggregate principal amount of all Swing
         Line Loans, then Agent shall, as promptly as possible, sell or redeem,
         collect or otherwise realize upon the Collateral (as defined in the
         Third-Party Agreement) and apply all credit balances included as
         Collateral and all proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any
         sale or redemption of, collection from, or other realization upon all
         or any part of the Collateral to prepay the Swing Line Loans and all
         other amounts then required to be paid. If for any reason the
         Collateral and the proceeds thereof are insufficient to prepay in full
         the Swing Line Loans and such other amounts, Agent may, at any time in
         its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Lenders (with a copy to
         Company), no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the first
         Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date, a notice (which
         shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by Company)
         requesting Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on
         such Funding Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Swing Line
         Loans (the "REFUNDED SWING LINE LOANS") outstanding on the date such
         notice is given which Agent requests Lenders to prepay. Anything
         contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the
         proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than Lenders
         with outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be applied to repay a
         corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and apportioned
         among all Refunded Swing Line Loans proportionately to each Lender's
         Pro Rata Share and shall not be delivered to Company and (ii) on the
         day such Revolving Loans are made, the Pro Rata Share of the Refunded
         Swing Line Loans of each Lender that has Swing Line Loans outstanding
         shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made
         by such Lender, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be
         so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no
         longer be due under the Swing Line Note of such Lender but shall
         instead constitute part of such Lender's outstanding Revolving Loans
         and shall be due under the Revolving Note of such Lender; provided,
         however, that if such Lender's Revolving Loan made in accordance with
         this subsection 2.2A(ii) exceeds such Lender's outstanding Swing Line
         Loans, the remaining proceeds of such Lender's Revolving Loans shall be
         applied in accordance with subsection (i). Company hereby authorizes
         Agent and each Lender with Swing Line Loans to charge Company's
         accounts with Agent and such Lender (up to the amount available in each
         such account) in order to immediately pay such Lenders the amount of
         the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such
         Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the Revolving Loan deemed to
         be made by Lenders with outstanding Swing Line Loans, are not
         sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any
         portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to any such
         Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Company from such Lender
         in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise,
         the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all
         Lenders in the manner contemplated by subsection 8.5.

                  If for any reason the Revolving Loan Commitments are
         terminated at a time when any Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each
         Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby 


                                       8

<PAGE>   192

         agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing
         Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving
         Loans (calculated, immediately prior to such termination of the
         Revolving Loan Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line
         Loans together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day's
         notice from Agent, each Lender shall deliver to Agent an amount equal
         to its respective participation in same day funds at the Funding and
         Payment Office. Agent shall promptly deliver such amount to Lenders
         with such outstanding Swing Line Loans in proportion to such
         outstanding Swing Line Loans. In order to further evidence such
         participation (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the
         participation provisions set forth above), each Lender agrees to enter
         into a separate participation agreement at the request of Agent in form
         and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such Lender. In the
         event any Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such
         Lender's participation as provided in this paragraph, Agent, on behalf
         of Lenders shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
         Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by
         Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days
         and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event that any Lender with
         outstanding Swing Line Loans receives a payment of any amount in which
         other Lenders have purchased participations as provided in this
         paragraph, such Lender shall promptly distribute to each such other
         Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment.

                  The provisions of subsection 2.7B shall apply to all payments
         and prepayments of Swing Line Loans or Refunded Swing Line Loans
         pursuant to this subsection 2.2A(ii).

                  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
         each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of
         repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding
         paragraph and each Lender's obligation to purchase a participation in
         any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding
         paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
         by any circumstance, including (a) any set-off, counterclaim,
         recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
         any other Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason
         whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default
         or a Potential Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the
         business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or
         otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any
         breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party
         thereto; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
         whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such
         obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that (X) Agent
         believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3 to the
         making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid
         Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, were satisfied at the time such
         Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or (Y)
         the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived in
         accordance with subsection 8.6 prior to or at the time such Refunded
         Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made.

         B. BORROWING MECHANICS. Revolving Loans (other than Revolving Loans
made pursuant to a request by Agent pursuant to subsection 2.2A(ii) for the
purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans) made on any Funding Date
shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000. The Company shall be
permitted to request a Revolving Loan pursuant to this subsection 2.2B only four
times during any 30 day period. Requests for Swing Line Loans shall not count as
requests for Revolving Loans for purposes of the preceding sentence. Swing Line
Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of
$5,000,000. The Company shall be permitted to request a Swing Line Loan pursuant
to this subsection 2.2B only three times during any calendar year. Whenever the
Company desires that the Lenders make Loans, it shall deliver to the Agent a
Notice of Borrowing no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three
Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date with respect to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or, in the case of a Loan bearing interest with reference
to the Base Rate, one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date.

         Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date
(which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of Loans requested, (iii)
whether such Loan shall be Swing Line Loan or a Revolving Loan, (iv) whether
such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans (it being
understood that all Revolving Loans shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans except as
otherwise expressly permitted or required hereunder), (v) if such Loan is a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, (vi) in
the case of Revolving Loans that not more than three other Funding Dates shall
have occurred within the 30 days next preceding the proposed Funding Date, (vii)
in the case of Swing Line Loans that no more than two other Funding Dates shall
have occurred within the calendar year of such Funding Date, in each case
specifying the related Funding Date, (viii) that after giving effect to the
Borrowing there are either no Swing Line Loans outstanding or the total
aggregate amount of outstanding Loans shall not exceed $41,000,000 and (ix) that
the amount of the proposed Loan will not cause the Total Utilization of the
Commitments to exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect.

         The Company may give the Agent telephonic notice by the required time
of any proposed Loan under this subsection 2.2B; provided, however, that such
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of
Borrowing to the Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date. Neither the
Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Company in acting upon any
telephonic notice referred to above that the Agent believes in good faith to
have been given by a duly Authorized Officer or other Person authorized to
borrow on behalf of the Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this
subsection 2.2B, and upon funding of Loans by the Lenders in accordance with
this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice the Company shall have
effected Loans hereunder.

         The Company shall notify the Agent (who shall notify the Lenders) prior
to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which the
Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no
longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by
the Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by
the Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which the
Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.


                                       10

<PAGE>   194

         Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.7B and 2.7C, a Notice of
Borrowing for a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof)
shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date,
and the Company shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

         C. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. All Loans under this Agreement shall be made
by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata
Shares with respect to the Revolving Loans or the Swing Line Loans, as the case
may be, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default
by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a
result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to
make a Loan requested hereunder. Promptly after receipt by the Agent of a Notice
of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.2B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof),
the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Loan. Each Lender shall make
its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Loan available to the Agent,
in same day funds, at the office of the Agent located at One Bankers Trust
Plaza, New York, New York, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the
applicable Funding Date in same day funds in Dollars. Except as provided in
subsection 2.2A(ii) with respect to Revolving Loans used to repay Refunded Swing
Line Loans, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in
subsections 3.1 and 3.2, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans
available to the Company on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of
same day funds equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by the Agent
from the Lenders to be transferred to the account designated in the Notice of
Borrowing.

         Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the
Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to
the Agent the amount of such Lender's Loan requested on such Funding Date, the
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent on
such Funding Date and the Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, make available to the Company a corresponding amount on such
Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the
Agent by such Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day
from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base
Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the
Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent together
with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such
amount is paid to the Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base
Rate Loans. Nothing in this subsection 2.2C shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice
any rights that the Company may have against any Lender as a result of any
default by such Lender hereunder.

         D. DEFAULTING LENDERS.


                                       11

<PAGE>   195

         Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that any Lender (a "DEFAULTING LENDER") defaults (a "FUNDING DEFAULT") in its
obligation to fund any Loan (a "DEFAULTED LOAN") in accordance with subsection
2.2 then (i) during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender"
for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or
waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, (ii) to the extent permitted
by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess (as defined below) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (a) any
voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.5B(i) shall, if
Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied
to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans
outstanding and the Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (b)
any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.5B(iv),
subsection 2.5B(v) subsection 2.5B(vi), subsection 2.5B(vii) or subsection
2.5B(viii) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such mandatory
prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of
such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted
Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company
shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans
that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation
of the provisions of this clause (b), (iii) such Defaulting Lender's Commitment
and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the
commitment fees payable to Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.4A in respect of any
day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such
Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant
to subsection 2.4A with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment in
respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (iv)
the Total Utilization as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if
such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

         For purposes of this Agreement, (I) "DEFAULT PERIOD" means, with
respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the
applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates:
(A) the date on which all Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the
Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable, (B) the date on
which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have
been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any
Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of
any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the terms
of this subsection 2.2D or by a combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting
Lender shall have delivered to Company and Agent a written reaffirmation of its
intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its
Commitment, and (C) the date on which Company and Agent waive all Funding
Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (II) "DEFAULT EXCESS" means,
with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans
of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (other than such
Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Loans) over the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender.


                                       12

<PAGE>   196

         No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected,
and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection 2.2D, performance
by Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default
or the operation of this subsection 2.2D. The rights and remedies against a
Defaulting Lender under this subsection 2.2D are in addition to other rights and
remedies which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to
any Funding Default and which Agent or any Lender may have against such
Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

         E. THE REGISTER.

                  (i) The Agent shall maintain, at its address referred to in
         subsection 8.8, a register for the recordation of the names and
         addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment and Loans of each Lender
         from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The Company, the Agent and the
         Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
         a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
         shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any
         reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                  (ii) The Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Loan
         Commitment and the Swing Line Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans
         and Swing Line Loans from time to time of each Lender, and each
         repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the
         Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans of each Lender. Any such
         recordation shall be prima facie evidence of such matters as against
         the Company and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, however,
         that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
         recordation, shall not affect the Company's Obligations in respect of
         the applicable Loans.

                  (iii) Each Lender shall record on its internal records
         (including any promissory note described in subsection 2.2E(iv)) the
         amount of each Revolving Loan and each Swing Line Loan made by it and
         each payment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be prima
         facie evidence of such matters as against the Company absent manifest
         error; provided, however, that failure to make any such recordation, or
         any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Company's
         Obligations in respect of the applicable Loans; provided further,
         however, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register
         and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall
         govern, absent manifest error.

                  (iv) Any Lender may, by notice to the Agent and the Company,
         request that all or part of the principal amount of the Company's
         Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans from such Lender hereunder be
         evidenced by a Note. Within three Business Days of the Company's
         receipt of such notice, the Company shall execute and deliver to the
         Agent for delivery to the appropriate Lender a Revolving Note or Swing
         Line Note in the principal amount(s) of such Loans, payable to the
         notifying Lender or, if so specified


                                       13

         in such notice, any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant
         to subsection 8.1 hereof. If the foreclosure or other enforcement of
         any Mortgage or any other Security Document requires the presentation
         of a Note evidencing the Obligations secured by such Security Document
         and the Company fails or refuses to comply with a request for such
         Note, then a copy of this Agreement may be presented in lieu of such a
         Note.

         F. EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE. At any time that is not more than 180
days and not less than 90 days before the fourth Anniversary, the Company may
deliver a written notice to the Agent requesting that the Maturity Date be
extended from the fourth Anniversary to the fifth Anniversary and, if such
notice is delivered, the Maturity Date shall be so extended provided that the
following conditions are satisfied:

                  Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
                  be continuing and the Company shall have delivered an
                  Officer's Certificate certifying thereto; provided that, if a
                  Potential Event of Default (but not any Event of Default)
                  exists on the fourth Anniversary, the conditions set forth in
                  this clause (i) shall be satisfied if, on the date that is 30
                  days after the fourth Anniversary, no Potential Event of
                  Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing and the Company shall have delivered an Officer's
                  Certificate certifying thereto;

                                (ii) on or prior to the fourth Anniversary, the
                  Company shall have paid to the Agent in immediately available
                  funds, for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with
                  their Pro Rata Shares, a fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate
                  amount of the Commitments on the fourth Anniversary; and

                               (iii) after giving effect to the proposed
                  extension, the date on which any Capital Stock or other
                  Security issued by any Loan Party by its terms (or by the
                  terms of any Security into which it is convertible or for
                  which it is exchangeable), or upon the happening of any event,
                  matures or is mandatorily redeemable, pursuant to a sinking
                  fund or otherwise, or otherwise redeemable, in Cash at the
                  option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part, shall not
                  be a date that is prior to the Maturity Date, as so extended."

bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until the
commencement of the next succeeding Interest Period, at which time such Loan
shall be converted (automatically and without the necessity of any action on the
part of any Person) to a Eurodollar Rate Loan in accordance with subsection
2.3D. The basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loan shall
be changed from time to time in accordance with subsection 2.3D.

provided that, if any Lender shall have purchased a participation in any Swing
Line Loan or shall have been deemed to have purchased a participation in any
Swing Line Loan, in each case pursuant to the last paragraph of subsection
2.2A(ii), then, subject to the provisions of subsections 2.3E, 2.5B(iv) and 2.8,
all Swing Line Loans shall bear interest through maturity liability acceleration
or otherwise) as follows:

                  (ii) each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day
         on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

                  (iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day
         that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the
         next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that, if any Interest
         Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but
         is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in
         such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding
         Business Day;

                  (iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day
         of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically

         Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.3B, end on
         the last Business Day of a calendar month;

         the Swing Line Loans;

                  (vii) if five (5) Interest Periods are outstanding with
         respect to the Revolving Loans or if three (3) Interest Periods are
         outstanding with respect to the Swing Line Loans, then with respect to
         the Revolving Loans or the Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, at
         least one Interest Period shall be either (a) a one month Interest
         Period or (b) an Interest Period with less than 30 days remaining; and

amount equal to the sum of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender as of
such date minus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving
Loans of such Lender on such date plus the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Swing Line Loans of such Lender on such date. The commitment fee
shall be payable as provided in this subsection notwithstanding that the amount
available to be borrowed hereunder may be less than the amount of the

         to time prepay (i) any Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or
         in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
         multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount (or, if less, the total

         Rate Loan or Revolving Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid on a day other
         than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such
         prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts payable
         under subsection 2.7D. Notice of prepayment having been given as
         aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice
         shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein;
         provided, however, that in the case of any such withdrawal, the Company
         shall promptly pay all amounts then due to the Lenders pursuant to
         subsection 2.7D. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as
         specified in subsection 2.5B(viii). Amounts prepaid pursuant to this

         Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of
         $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that
         amount; provided, further that the Revolving Loan Commitments, may not
         be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate amount of
         outstanding Swing Line Loans at the time of any such prepayment. The
         Company's notice to the Agent shall designate the date (which shall be
         a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any
         partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving

         Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) or a sale or other
         permanent disposition of such Designated Mortgaged Property, with

         the Borrowing Base shall be recomputed as of such date, after giving
         effect to any reduction in the related Property EBITDA or Release.

                  (iv) Prepayments Due to Borrowing Base. If at any time the
         Total Utilization exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect, as
         demonstrated by a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered (or required to
         be delivered) pursuant to subsection 5.1(ii), the Company shall prepay
         first the Swing Line Loans and second the Revolving Loans in an amount
         equal to such excess not later than 5 Business Days after the date that
         such Borrowing Base Certificate shall have been delivered (or, if such
         Borrowing Base Certificate shall not have been delivered timely or at
         all, on the last day that such Borrowing Base Certificate is permitted
         by subsection 5.1(ii) to be delivered). Any mandatory prepayments
         pursuant to subsection 2.5B(iv) shall be applied as specified in
         subsection 2.5B(x).

                  (v) Prepayments from Asset Sales. At any time prior to the
         date which is 364 days following the date of receipt of such Net Cash
         Proceeds from an Asset Sale by any Loan Party or any of its
         Subsidiaries but in any event not later than the day before the day on
         which the Company shall be obligated to pay any amount of such Net Cash
         Proceeds (or other amount determined by reference to such Net Cash
         Proceeds) to satisfy all or part of any other obligation that may
         become due by reason of such sale or other disposition other than any
         Indebtedness secured by the assets from which such Net Cash Proceeds
         were derived, the Company may spend all or any part of Net Cash
         Proceeds (or other amount determined by reference to such Net Cash
         Proceeds) on a Renovation or Restoration permitted hereunder or
         otherwise invest such amounts in property or assets used in a
         Hospitality-Related Business; provided that if an Event of Default
         resulting from a failure to pay principal or interest hereunder has
         occurred and is continuing, the Company shall not use any part of such
         Net Cash Proceeds to make any capital expenditures for any purpose
         (including, without limitation, the investment of any amount in any
         property or assets used in a Hospitality-Related Business, but
         excluding the purchase of FF&E and expenditures in furtherance of any
         Renovation or Restoration of any Property (including any Property that
         is not a Mortgaged Property) that shall have commenced before the
         occurrence of such Event of Default and that cannot be terminated
         without material cost to the Company or a material adverse effect on
         the Property) unless and until the Company shall have prepaid the Loans
         in the amounts required by, and in accordance with the provisions of,
         the sentence next following. Any amounts not expended in accordance
         with the preceding sentence at the earlier of (i) the day before 


                                       19

         the day on which the Company is obligated to apply such amounts to
         satisfy all or part of any other obligation that may become due by
         reason of such sale or other disposition, other than any Indebtedness
         secured by the assets from which such Net Cash Proceeds were derived,
         or (ii) the date that is 365 days after the receipt of such Net Cash
         Proceeds, shall be applied to prepay the Loans and the Revolving Loan
         Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the
         aggregate amount of such prepayments. Concurrently with any prepayment
         of the Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.5B(v), the Company shall
         deliver to the Agent an Officer's Certificate demonstrating the
         derivation of the Net Cash Proceeds. Any mandatory prepayments pursuant
         to this subsection 2.5B(v) shall be applied as specified in subsection
         2.5(B)(ix). Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of more than one Property
         shall be deemed expended in the order in which such amounts were
         received by the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary.

                  (vi) Minimum Collateral Value Prepayments Due to Reduction of
         Funds in Collateral Account. If at any time the aggregate amount of the
         Swing Line Loans exceeds the Minimum Collateral Value Amount, the
         Company shall immediately repay the Swing Line Loans in an amount equal
         to such deficiency; provided, however, that if the Company shall not be
         required to repay the Swing Line Loans pursuant to this subsection
         2.5B(vi) in an amount equal to the amount of funds transferred to the
         Deposit Account in accordance with Section 3(b) of the Collateral
         Account Agreement to reduce or eliminate the amount by which the
         aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans exceeds the Minimum Collateral
         Value Amount.

                  (vii) Prepayment Due to Outstanding Loans Exceeding Maximum
         Amount of Swing Line Commitments. If at any time the aggregate amount
         of outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans exceeds
         $41,000,000, the Company shall immediately repay all outstanding Swing
         Line Loans.

                  (viii) Acceleration Due to Reduction of the Facility Amount.
         In the event that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan
         Commitments at any time is less than $10,000,000, whether due to a
         prepayment or reduction in the Revolving Commitments or otherwise, (a)
         the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Swing Line Loan Commitments
         shall be automatically terminated and (b) the Revolving Loans and Swing
         Line Loans outstanding and all other Obligations of the Company shall
         become immediately due and payable.

                  (ix) Application of Prepayments. Each prepayment of the
         Revolving Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full
         extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each
         case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to
         be made by the Company pursuant to subsection 2.7D. Each prepayment of
         the Swing Line Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the
         full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in
         each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments
         required to be made by the Company pursuant to subsection 2.7D.

                  (x) Application of Unscheduled Reductions of Revolving Loan
         Commitments. Any voluntary reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments
         pursuant to subsection 2.5B(ii) shall be applied to reduce the
         scheduled reductions of the Revolving Loan Commitments set forth in
         subsection 2.5A(i) in inverse chronological order.

                  (xi) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans.
         Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.5B(i) shall be
         applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment;
         provided that in the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which
         any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied
         first to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof
         and second to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent
         thereof.

                  (xii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans.
         Any amount (the "APPLIED AMOUNT") required to be applied as a mandatory
         prepayment of the Loans and/or a reduction of the Revolving Loan
         Commitments pursuant to subsections 2.5B(iv) or (v) shall be applied
         first to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof and, in
         the case of prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.5(B)(v), to
         permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments by the amount of such
         prepayment, second, to the extent of any remaining portion of the
         Applied Amount, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent
         thereof and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Loan
         Commitments by the amount of such prepayment, and third, to the extent
         of any remaining portion of the Applied Amount, to further permanently
         reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments to the full extent thereof."

         1.3 Amendments to Section 8: Miscellaneous.

         A. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS IN LOANS; GENERAL. Section 8.1A of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and
substituting the following therefor:

                  "A. GENERAL. Each Lender shall have the right at any time, so
         long as it has obtained the prior written consent of the Agent (which
         consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to (i) assign to any one
         Eligible Assignee (provided that such Eligible Assignee complies with
         the requirements of subsection 2.8B(iii) as of the date it becomes a
         Lender hereunder, to the extent applicable) all of its Swing Line Loan
         Commitments together with all of its Swing Line Loans, (ii) sell,
         assign, transfer or negotiate to one or more Eligible Assignees
         (provided that such Eligible Assignee complies with the requirements of
         subsection 2.8B(iii) as of the date it becomes a Lender hereunder, to
         the extent applicable) all or any part of its Revolving Loan Commitment
         or any Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans made by it, in each case in an
         aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000, or (iii) sell
         participations to one or more Persons in (a) all or any part of its
         Revolving Loan Commitment, any Revolving Loan, Revolving Loans, Swing
         Line Commitment, any Swing Line Loan or Swing Line Loans made by it or
         participations therein or (b) any other interest herein or in any other
         Obligations owed to it; provided, however, that no such assignment or
         participation shall, without the consent of the Company, require the
         Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission or apply to qualify such assignment or
         participation under the securities laws of any state; and provided,
         further that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any
         participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment,
         transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Loan
         Commitment and the Loans of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment,
         transfer or participation. In the case of any assignment authorized
         under this subsection 8.1, (i) the Agent shall notify the Company of
         the effective date of such assignment, (ii) as of such effective date,
         the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
         obligations hereunder have been assigned to it, shall have the rights
         and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (iii) the assigning Lender
         shall, to the extent that its rights and obligations hereunder have
         been assigned by it, relinquish its rights and be released from its
         obligations under this Agreement. In the event of an assignment
         hereunder, the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitments
         of such assignee. Except with respect to the portion of the Loans and
         Commitments assigned pursuant to this subsection 8.1, no Lender shall,
         as between the Company and such Lender, be relieved of any of its
         obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or
         negotiation of, or any granting of participations in, all or any part
         of its Commitment or the Loans, or other Obligations owed to such
         Lender."

                  SECTION 4. COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  In order to induce Lenders to enter into this Amendment and to

                  A. CORPORATE POWER AND AUTHORITY. Each of Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors that are a party thereto have all requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into this Amendment, the Collateral Account
Agreement, the Third-Party Account Agreement to issue the Swing Line Notes and
to carry out the transactions contemplated by, and perform its obligations
under, the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment (the "AMENDED
AGREEMENT"), the Collateral Account Agreement and the Third-Party Account
Agreement.

                  B. AUTHORIZATION OF AGREEMENTS. The execution and delivery of
this Amendment, the Collateral Account Agreement, the Third-Party Account
Agreement and the Swing Line Notes and the performance of the Amended Agreement,
the Collateral Account Agreement and the Third-Party Account Agreement and the
issuance, delivery and payment of the Swing Line Notes have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, as the case may be.

                  C. NO CONFLICT. The execution and delivery by each of Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantors that are a party thereto of this Amendment, the
Collateral Account Agreement, the Third-Party Account Agreement and the Swing
Line Notes and the performance by Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the
Amended Agreement, the Collateral Account Agreement, the Third-Party Account
Agreement and the issuance, delivery and payment of the Swing Line Notes by
Company do not and will not (i) violate any provision of any law or any
governmental rule or regulation applicable to Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, the Certificate or Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or any order, judgment or decree of any court or
other agency of government binding on Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii)
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of Company or any of

obtained on or before the First Amendment Effective Date and disclosed in
writing to Lenders.

                  D. GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. The execution and delivery by each
of Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors that are a party thereto of this
Amendment, the Collateral Account Agreement, the Third-Party Account Agreement
and all other operative documents being delivered pursuant to the Amendment and
the Swing Line Notes and the performance by Company of the Amended Agreement,
the Collateral Account Agreement and the Third-Party Account Agreement and the
issuance, delivery and payment of the Swing Line Notes by Company do not and
will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or
other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other governmental authority
or regulatory body.

                  E. BINDING OBLIGATION. This Amendment and the Amended
Agreement, the Collateral Account Agreement, the Third-Party Account Agreement
and the Swing Line Notes have been duly executed and delivered by each of
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors that are a party thereto, and the Swing
Line Notes, when executed and delivered, will be legally valid and binding
obligations of Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors that are a party thereto,
enforceable against Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors that are a party
thereto, in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to
or limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability.

                  F. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION; SECURITIES ACTIVITIES. Neither the
making of the Loans pursuant to the Amended Agreement nor the granting of a
Security Interest in any Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement)
pursuant to the Security Documents violates Regulations G, T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. It is not necessary in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Amended Agreement or the Swing
Line Notes to register the Swing Line Notes or the Loans under the Securities
Act or to qualify any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended.

                  G. LIENS OF THE COLLATERAL.

                  (i) The Collateral Account Agreement creates in favor of the
Secured Party a perfected security interest in the Securities Account, the
Security Entitlement (as defined in the Third-Party Account Agreement) carried
in the Securities Account and the Restricted Deposit Account (as defined in the
Third-Party Account Agreement) under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in
the State of New York (the "Code") and the Federal Book-Entry Regulations. The
security interest of the Secured Party in the Securities Account, the Security
Entitlement carried in the Securities Account and the Restricted Deposit Account
is prior to any other security interest therein under the Code.

                  (ii) Assuming the Secured Party retains dominion and control
over the Restricted Deposit Account in the manner set forth in the Security
Agreement, the Security 


                                       26

<PAGE>   210

Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a lien on the Restricted Deposit
Account senior to the claim of later attaching or executing "lien creditors" (as
that term is defined in Section 9- 301(3) of the Code).

                  H. INCORPORATION OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES FROM CREDIT
AGREEMENT. The representations and warranties contained in Section 4 of the
Credit Agreement are and will be true, correct and complete in all material
respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date to the same extent as
though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations
and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they were
true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of such earlier
date.

                  I. ABSENCE OF DEFAULT. No event has occurred and is continuing
or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Amendment that would constitute an Event of Default or a Potential Event of
Default.

                  SECTION 5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT

                  Company is a party to the Amended and Restated Pledge and
Security Agreement, Amended and Restated Intellectual Property License

Liens in favor of Agent on certain Collateral to secure the Obligations. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty, as amended through
the First Amendment Date, pursuant to which such has (i) guarantied the
Obligations and (ii) created Liens in favor of Agent on certain Collateral to

reviewed the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and this Amendment and
consents to the amendment of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this
Amendment. Each Credit Support Party hereby confirms that each Credit Support
Document to which it is a party or otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered
thereby will continue to guaranty or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest
extent possible the payment and performance of all "Guarantied Obligations" and
"Secured Obligations," as the case may be (in each case as such terms are
defined in the applicable Credit Support Document), including without limitation
the payment and performance of all such "Guarantied Obligations" or "Secured
Obligations," as the case may be, in respect of the Obligations of Company now
or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Amended Agreement and the Notes
defined therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit
Support Party hereby acknowledges and confirms the understanding and intent of
such party that, upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, and as a result
thereof, the definition of 


                                       27

shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the
execution or effectiveness of this Amendment. Each Credit Support Party
represents and warrants that all representations and warranties contained in the
Amended Agreement and the Credit Support Documents to which it is a party or
otherwise bound are true, correct and complete in all material respects on and
as of the First Amendment Date to the same extent as though made on and as of
that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically
relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and complete in
all material respects on and as of such earlier date.

                  Each Credit Support Party (other than Company) acknowledges
and agrees that (i) notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in
this Amendment, such Credit Support Party is not required by the terms of the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to consent to the amendments to the
Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and (ii) nothing in the
Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to
require the consent of such Credit Support Party to any future amendments to the
Credit Agreement.

                  SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS

                  A. REFERENCE TO AND EFFECT ON THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

                  (i) On and after the First Amendment Date, each reference in
         the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof",

                  (iii) The execution, delivery and performance of this
         Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, constitute a
         waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right, power
         or remedy of Agent or any Lender under, the Credit Agreement or any of
         the other Loan Documents.

                  SECTION 3. TRANSFERS OF COLLATERAL; MARGIN FROM PLEDGOR;
RETURN OF EXCESS COLLATERAL; DIRECTED PAYMENT.

                  A. Transfers to Restricted Deposit Account. All transfers of
funds to the Restricted Deposit Account shall be made in accordance with the
terms of the Third-Party Account Agreement. Pledgor shall, promptly after
initiating a transfer of funds to the Restricted Deposit Account, give notice to
Securities Intermediary (with a copy to Secured Party) by facsimile of the date,
amount and method of delivery of such transfer.

                  B. Margin From Pledgor. If on any Valuation Date the aggregate
amount of the Swing Line Loans exceeds the Minimum Collateral Value Amount, upon
demand by Secured Party, Pledgor shall immediately (and in any event within one
Business Day) either (i) prepay the Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection
2.5B(v) of the Credit Agreement in the amount of such excess or (ii) transfer to
the Restricted Deposit Account, in accordance with Section 3(A), an amount of
funds to reduce or eliminate the amount by which the Swing Line Loans exceed the
Minimum Collateral Value Amount and prepay the Swing Line Loans pursuant to
subsection 2.5B(v) of the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to any remaining
amount by which after such transfer the Swing Line Loans exceeds the Minimum
Collateral Value Amount.

                  C. Release of Excess Collateral. So long as no Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if
on any Valuation Date the Minimum Collateral Value Amount exceeds the Swing Line
Loans, then, upon written demand by Pledgor, Secured Party shall promptly (and
in any event within two Business Days) instruct Securities Intermediary pursuant
to Section 4(e) of the Third-Party Account Agreement, to transfer to Pledgor in
accordance with such written instructions as may have been delivered by Pledgor,
Financial Assets and other property designated by Pledgor (or in the absence of
such a designation, reasonably selected by Secured Party or Securities
Intermediary) having a total value, determined on a basis consistent with the
determination of Collateral Value, equal to the lesser of the amount of funds
requested by Pledgor in writing and the amount by which the Minimum Collateral
Value Amount exceeds the Swing Line Loans on the date of transfer.

                  D. Directed Payment. So long as no Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon
irrevocable written demand by Pledgor Secured Party shall promptly (and in any
event within two Business Days) instruct Securities Intermediary pursuant to
Section 4(e) of the Third-Party Account Agreement, to transfer to Secured Party,
to prepay Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.5B of the Credit Agreement,
Financial Assets and other property designated by Pledgor (or in the absence of
such a designation, reasonably selected by Secured Party of Securities
Intermediary) in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount as shall
constitute the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans).

                  SECTION 4. PLEDGE OF SECURITY FOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS. Pledgor
hereby pledges and assigns to Secured Party, and hereby grants to Secured Party
a security interest in, the Collateral as collateral security for the prompt
payment or performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required
prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including the
payment of amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic
stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.
362(a)), of all Secured Obligations.

                  SECTION 5. INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS IN THE COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS.

                  A. Strict Compliance On Investment of Collateral. Credit
balances held by Securities Intermediary in the Collateral Accounts shall not be
invested or reinvested except as provided in this Section 5 and in the
Third-Party Account Agreement.

                  B. Management by Pledgor. So long as no Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party
(a) shall not deliver a Prohibition Notice (as defined in the Third Party
Account Agreement) and (b) shall instruct Securities Intermediary to follow, in
accordance with the terms of the Third-Party Account Agreement, any written
instruction received by Securities Intermediary from Pledgor (with a copy to
Secured Party) (i) to invest and reinvest funds on held for the credit of the
Collateral Accounts in Eligible Investments for credit to the Securities
Account, (ii) to transfer funds held in the Restricted Deposit Account to the
Securities Account to the extent required for such investments, against delivery
of the related Financial Assets to Securities Intermediary for credit to the
Securities Account, and (iii) to sell or redeem any Investment against delivery
of the proceeds to the Restricted Deposit Account or settlement to purchase an
Eligible Investment for credit to the Securities Account.

                  C. Treatment of Income and other Proceeds. Subject to Secured
Party's rights under Section 5(D), (i) any interest, cash dividends or other
cash distributions received in respect of any Investments and the net proceeds
of any sale or payment of any Investments shall promptly be transferred to, and
held in, the Restricted Deposit Account pending investment thereof pursuant to
Section 5(B), and (ii) any distribution of property in respect of any Investment
shall be credited to, and held for the credit of, the Securities Account.

                  D. Power of Secured Party to Sell. Pledgor agrees that Secured
Party may sell or cause the sale or redemption of any Investment and instruct
Securities Intermediary to transfer the proceeds of such sale or any other
credit balance in the Collateral Accounts to any third party or account, in
either case (i) if such sale or redemption is necessary to permit Secured Party
to perform its duties under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, or (ii) as
provided in Section 10.

                  SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Pledgor represents
and warrants as follows:

                  A. Ownership of Collateral; Security Interest; Perfection and
Priority. Pledgor is (or at the time of transfer thereof to Securities
Intermediary will be) the beneficial owner of the Collateral from time to time
transferred by Pledgor to Securities Intermediary, as agent for Secured Party,
free and clear of any Lien except for any Permitted Liens, and the security
interest created by this Agreement and the Third-Party Account Agreement. The
pledge and assignment of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the
Third-Party Account Agreement creates a valid security interest in the
Collateral securing the Payment of the Secured Obligations. Assuming execution
and due performance of the Third-Party Account Agreement by Securities
Intermediary, the security interest in the Collateral Accounts is or will be
perfected and senior in priority to any other Lien therein other than any
Permitted Liens.

                  B. Governmental Authorizations. No authorization, approval or
other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or
regulatory body is required for either (i) the grant by Pledgor of the security
interest granted hereby or by the Third-Party Account Agreement, (ii) the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the Third-Party Account
Agreement by Pledgor, or (iii) the perfection of or the exercise by Secured
Party or Securities Intermediary of its rights and remedies hereunder or under
the Third-Party Account Agreement (except as may have been taken by or at the
direction of Pledgor).

                  C. Other Information. All information heretofore, herein or
hereafter supplied to Secured Party or Securities Intermediary by or on behalf
of Pledgor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in all
respects.

                  SECTION 7. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Pledgor agrees that from time
to time, at the expense of Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver
all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may request, in order to perfect
and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or
by the Third-Party Account Agreement or to enable Secured Party or Securities
Intermediary to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under
the Third-Party Account Agreement with respect to any Collateral. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor shall: (a) execute and file
such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party
may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or
purported to be granted hereby or by the Third-Party Account Agreement, and (b)
at Secured Party's request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that
may affect Pledgor's title to or Secured Party's security interest in all or any
part of the Collateral.

                  SECTION 8. TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS. Pledgor agrees that,
except as permitted in Section 5(B), it shall not (a) sell, assign (by operation
of law or otherwise), redeem or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or
(b) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the
Collateral, except for the security interest created under this Agreement and
the Third-Party Account Agreement and any Permitted Liens.

                  SECTION 9. SECURED PARTY APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT; SECURED
PARTY PERFORMANCE.

                  A. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby
irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, Secured
Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion to take any
action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or the Third-Party
Account Agreement, including (a) to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral
without the signature of Pledgor and (b) to receive, endorse and collect any
instruments or other Investments made payable to Pledgor representing any
dividend, principal or interest payment or other distribution in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

                  B. Performance by Secured Party. If Pledgor fails to perform
any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 12.

                  SECTION 10. REMEDIES.

                  A. Transfer or Sequestration of Collateral. If any Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Secured Party may instruct Securities Intermediary to (i) sell or redeem any of
the Collateral, (ii) transfer any or all of the Collateral constituting cash to
the Restricted Deposit Account or transfer any or all of the Collateral to any
account designated by Secured Party, including account or accounts established
in Secured Party's name (whether with Secured Party or Securities Intermediary
or otherwise), (iii) register title to any Collateral in any name specified by
Secured Party, including the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees or
agents, without reference to any interest of Pledgor, or (iv) otherwise deal
with the Collateral as directed by Secured Party.

                  B. Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on
default under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction (the "UCC") (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral), and Secured Party may also in its sole discretion sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any exchange or broker's board or at any of Secured Party's offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and
at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem
commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the
market price of the Collateral. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor,
and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights
of redemption, stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless
of notice of sale having been given.


                                       E-7

<PAGE>   244

Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

                  C. Agreement as to Manner of Sale. Pledgor hereby agrees that
the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on recognized markets and,
accordingly, that no notice to any Person is required before any sale of any of
the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided that, without
prejudice to the foregoing, Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of any
such sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to Pledgor of the
time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to
be made shall constitute reasonable notification.

                  D. Deficiency. If the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured
Obligations, Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any
attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

                  E. Setoff. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, any of the Collateral consisting of a deposit or an other
obligation of Secured Party or any Lender, whether credited to the Securities
Account or otherwise, shall be subject to Secured Party's or Lender's rights of
set-off under subsection 7.2D of the Credit Agreement.

                  SECTION 11. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. If any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, all credit balances included as
Collateral and all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale or
redemption of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may, in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by or for Secured
Party as Collateral for, or then, or at any other time thereafter, applied in
full or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured Obligations in the
following order of priority:

                  FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale,
         collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to
         Secured Party and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses,
         liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in
         connection therewith, and all amounts for which Secured Party is
         entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Secured
         Party hereunder for the account of Pledgor, and to the payment of all
         costs and expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with
         the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, all in accordance with 
         Section 12;

                  SECOND: To the payment of all other Secured Obligations in
         such order as Secured Party shall elect; and

                  THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Pledgor, or to
         whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
         competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from
         such proceeds.

                  SECTION 12. EXCULPATION; INDEMNITY; EXPENSES.

                  A. Exculpation. The powers conferred on Secured Party
hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of
reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall
have no duty as to any Collateral, it being understood that Secured Party shall
have no responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to
any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge
of such matters, (b) taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in
accordance with the standard of care set forth above to maintain possession of
the Collateral) to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
Collateral, (c) taking any necessary steps to collect or realize upon the
Secured Obligations or any guarantee therefor, or any part thereof, or any of
the Collateral, (d) initiating any action to protect the Collateral against the
possibility of a decline in market value, (e) any loss resulting from
Investments made, held or sold pursuant to Section 5, except for a loss
resulting from Secured Party's gross negligence or wilful misconduct in
complying with Section 5, or (f) determining (i) the correctness of any
statement or calculation made by Pledgor in any written or telex (tested or
otherwise) instructions or (ii) whether any transfer to or from the Collateral
Accounts is proper. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party
accords its own property of like kind. In addition to the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, Secured Party (in its capacity as such) shall
not be responsible for any actions or omissions of Securities Intermediary.

                  B. Indemnification. Pledgor agrees to indemnify Secured Party
and each Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in
any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including enforcement of this Agreement),
except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from
Secured Party's or such Lender's gross negligence or wilful misconduct as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

                  C. Expenses. Pledgor shall pay to Secured Party upon demand
the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may
incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the
custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement
of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Pledgor
to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof and any other costs and

                  SECTION 13. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and

benefit of Secured Party and Lenders and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(c), but subject to the provisions of subsection 8.1 of the Credit Agreement,
Secured Party or any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by
it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with
all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Secured Party or such Lender, as
the case may be herein or otherwise. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of
all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the Commitments,
the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the
Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination Secured Party
shall, at Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as
Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination (including the
notice described in Section 9 of the Third-Party Account Agreement) and Pledgor
shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, against
receipt and without recourse to Secured Party, of such of the Collateral as
shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.

                  SECTION 14. SECURED PARTY AS AGENT.

                  A. Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party
hereunder by Lenders. Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right
hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in
accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement.

                  B. Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is
Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Agent
pursuant to subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice
of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement; removal of Agent pursuant
to subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as
Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Agent
pursuant to subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute
appointment of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent under subsection 9.7 of the Credit
Agreement by a successor Agent, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or
removed Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such
successor Secured Party all items of Collateral held by Secured Party hereunder
(which shall be credit to, and held for the credit of, a substitute Securities
Account established and maintained by such successor Secured Party), together
with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with
the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this
Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such
amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor
Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such
retiring or removed Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.

privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein,

preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

the Collateral Accounts of any Investment, Securities Intermediary shall take
all steps that it customarily takes in the ordinary course of its business to
ensure that such Investment is credited on its books to the Securities Account.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Securities Intermediary shall
promptly (i) send to Pledgor and Secured Party a written confirmation of the
acquisition of such Investment, and (ii) indicate by book entry in its records
that such Investment has been credited to, and is held for the credit of, the
Securities Account. Securities Intermediary agrees with Pledgor and Secured
Party that any credit balances, the Restricted Deposit Account or other property
credited to, or held for the credit of, the Collateral Accounts shall be treated
as Financial Assets for purposes of Section 8-102(a)(9)(iii) of the Code.

                  (d) No Interest on Restricted Deposit Account. Amounts on
deposit in the Restricted Deposit Account shall not bear interest.

                  (e) Control Agreement. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, Securities Intermediary shall, if and as directed in
writing by Secured Party, without the consent of Pledgor, (i) comply with
Entitlement Orders originated by Secured Party with respect to the Collateral
Accounts and any Security Entitlements carried therein, (ii) transfer, sell or
redeem any of the Collateral, (iii) transfer any or all of the Collateral
constituting cash to the Restricted Deposit Account or transfer any or all of
the Collateral to any account or accounts designated by Secured Party, including
an account established in Secured Party's name (whether at Secured Party or
Securities Intermediary or otherwise), (iv) register title to any Collateral in
any name specified by Secured Party, including the name of Secured Party or any
of its nominees or agents, without reference to any interest of Pledgor, or (v)
otherwise deal with the Collateral as directed by Secured Party.

                  (f) Proceeds. Any credit balance, including any interest, cash
dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of any Investments and
the net proceeds of any sale or payment of any Investments shall be promptly
transferred to, and held for the credit of, the Restricted Deposit Account. Any
distribution of property other than cash in respect of any Investment shall be
credited to, and held for the credit of, the Securities Account; provided that,
unless otherwise instructed in writing by Secured Party, Securities Intermediary
shall, for credit to the Collateral Accounts, promptly sell, redeem or otherwise
liquidate any such property that, as of the date of receipt, is not an Eligible
Investment.

                  (g) Valuation of Collateral. On each Valuation Date,
Securities Intermediary shall determine the Collateral Value as of that date.
The Collateral Value shall be the value determined by Securities Intermediary in
its reasonable judgment based on pricing information supplied by Securities
Intermediary on a basis consistent with its usual practice, including values
obtained from a generally recognized source (including any pricing service or
services regularly utilized by Securities Intermediary). Any information
supplied by Securities Intermediary shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN FAVOR OF

Securities Intermediary hereby further acknowledges that it holds the Collateral
Accounts, all Security Entitlements carried therein, and all other Collateral
held by Securities Intermediary under this Agreement, as custodian for, for the
benefit of, and subject to the control of, Secured Party. Securities
Intermediary shall, by book entry or otherwise, indicate that the Collateral
Accounts, and all Security Entitlements carried therein, are subject to the
control of Secured Party as provided in Section 4(e).

                  (c) Securities Intermediary Has No Notice of Adverse Claims.
Securities Intermediary represents and warrants that (i) it has no notice of any
Adverse Claim against any of the Collateral other than the claim of Secured
Party under this Agreement; and (ii) it is not party to any agreement other than
this Agreement that governs its rights or duties, or limits or conflicts with
the rights of Secured Party, including the exclusive right of Secured Party to
control as provided in Section 4(e), with respect to the Collateral Accounts.

                  (d) Securities Intermediary Shall Not Acknowledge Other
Claims. Securities Intermediary agrees that, except as expressly provided in
this Agreement or with the written consent of Secured Party, it shall not agree
to or acknowledge (i) any right by any person other than Secured Party to

                  SECTION 6. SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY MAINTENANCE OF THE
COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS.

                  (a) Transactions Shall Comply With Rules. The parties
acknowledge that all transactions in Financial Assets under this Agreement shall
be in accordance with the rules and customs of the exchange, market or clearing
organization, if any, in which the transactions are executed or settled and in
conformity with applicable law and regulations of governmental authorities and
future amendments or supplements thereto.

                  (b) Fees and Charges of Securities Intermediary. Pledgor shall
promptly pay Securities Intermediary, in accordance with the written agreement
between Securities Intermediary and Pledgor, any fees or charges imposed by
Securities Intermediary (including the reasonable compensation and the
reasonable expenses and disbursements of its legal counsel and all persons not
regularly in its employ) with respect to the establishment or maintenance of, or
transactions in or affecting, the Collateral Accounts.

                  (c) Leverage of Investments. Securities Intermediary shall not
execute any transaction to acquire Financial Assets under Section 4(b) unless
(i) there are sufficient funds for settlement thereof in the Collateral Accounts
or reasonably expected with respect to pending transactions to settle such
transaction, or (ii) sufficient funds for settlement thereof are expected to be
timely received for credit of the Collateral Accounts with respect to
transactions in which Securities Intermediary has been authorized and directed
to sell or redeem Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts, or
reasonably expected to be acquired for credit to the Collateral Accounts in
pending transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that
Securities Intermediary executes a transaction without sufficient funds to
settle the transaction. Securities Intermediary shall have a clearing lien on
the Financial Assets or other property so acquired. Pledgor agrees to pay
interest charges which may be imposed by Securities Intermediary in accordance
with its usual custom, with respect to late payments for Financial Assets or
other property purchased for credit to the Collateral Accounts and prepayments
in the Collateral Accounts (i.e., the crediting of the proceeds of sale before
the settlement date or receipt by Securities Intermediary of the items sold in
good deliverable form). Pledgor agrees to pay promptly any amount which may
become due in order to satisfy demands for additional margin or marks to market
with respect to any security purchased or sold on instruction from Pledgor.
Pledgor agrees to pay promptly any custody or other fees which may be imposed by
Securities Intermediary with respect to the Collateral Accounts.

                  (d) Risk of Investments and Transactions. It is not the
intention of the parties that Securities Intermediary should bear any investment
risk associated with Eligible Investments acquired for the credit of the
Collateral Accounts in accordance with Section 4. Any losses or gains realized
on such Investments shall be charged or credited to the Collateral Accounts, as
appropriate. On committing to a transaction for the credit of the Collateral
Accounts pursuant to an instruction permitted in accordance with Section 4,
Securities Intermediary may, (i) pending settlement of such transactions, block
(A) the Investments to be sold or (B) credit balances sufficient to settle any
acquisition, or Investment the liquidation of which will yield funds sufficient
to settle any acquisition and, (ii) at the time of settlement, deliver such
Investments or funds in accordance with the rules, custom or practice of the
particular market.

                  (e) Use of Intermediaries and Nominees. Securities
Intermediary is authorized, subject to Secured Party's written instructions, to
register any Financial Assets acquired by Securities Intermediary pursuant to
this Agreement in the name of Securities Intermediary or in the name of its
nominee, or to cause such securities to be registered in the name of a Federal
reserve bank or a recognized securities intermediary or clearing corporation, or
any nominee thereof. Securities Intermediary may at any time and from time to
time appoint, and may at any time remove, any bank, trust company, clearing
corporation, or Broker-Dealer as its agent to carry out such of the provisions
of this Agreement. The appointment or use of any intermediary, or the
appointment of any such agent, shall not relieve Securities Intermediary of any
responsibility or liability under this Agreement.

                  (f) Corporate Actions. Except as otherwise set forth herein,
Pledgor and Secured Party agree that Securities Intermediary shall have no
responsibility for ascertaining or acting upon any calls, conversions, exchange
offers, tenders, interest rate changes or similar matters relating to any
Financial Assets credited to or held for the credit of the Collateral Accounts
(except based on written instructions originated by Pledgor or Secured Party),
or for informing Pledgor or Secured Party with respect thereto, whether or not
Securities Intermediary has, or is deemed to have, knowledge of any of the
aforesaid. Securities Intermediary is authorized to withdraw securities sold or
otherwise disposed of, and to credit the Collateral Accounts with the proceeds
thereof or make such other disposition thereof as may be directed in accordance
with this Agreement. Securities Intermediary is further authorized to collect
all income and other payments which may become due on Financial Assets and other
property credited to the Collateral Accounts, to surrender for payment maturing
obligations and those called for redemption and to exchange certificates in
temporary form for like certificates in definitive form, or, if the par value of
any shares is changed, to effect the exchange for new certificates. It is
understood and agreed by Pledgor and Secured Party that, although Securities
Intermediary will use reasonable efforts to effect the transactions set forth in
the preceding sentence, Securities Intermediary shall incur no liability for its
failure to effect the same unless its failure is the result of wilful
misconduct.

                  (g) Disclosure of Account Relationships. Pledgor and Secured
Party acknowledge that Securities Intermediary may be required to disclose to
securities issuers the name, address and securities positions with respect to
Financial Assets or other property credited to the Collateral Accounts, and
hereby consent to such disclosures.

                  (h) Forwarding of Documents. Securities Intermediary shall
forward to Pledgor and, if requested, Secured Party, or notify Pledgor and, if
requested, Secured Party by telephone of, all communications received by
Securities Intermediary as owner of any Financial Assets or other property
credited to the Collateral Accounts and which are intended to be transmitted to
the beneficial owner thereof.

                  (i) Direction of Secured Party Controls in Disputes. Pledgor,
Securities Intermediary and Secured Party hereby agree that in the event any
dispute arises with respect to the payment, ownership or right to possession of
the Collateral Accounts or any other Collateral credited to or held therein,
Securities Intermediary shall take such actions and shall refrain from taking
such actions with respect thereto as may be directed by Secured Party.

                  (j) No Setoff, etc. Securities Intermediary shall not exercise
on its own behalf any claim, right of set-off, banker's lien, clearing lien,
counterclaim or similar right against any of the Collateral; provided that
Securities Intermediary may deduct, from amounts held for the credit of the
Restricted Deposit Account and subject to the limitations stated in Section
6(b), any usual and ordinary transaction and administration fees payable in
connection with the administration and operation of the Collateral Accounts.
Except for claims for deductions permitted in the preceding sentence, Securities
Intermediary agrees that any security interest it may have in the Collateral
Accounts or any Security Entitlement carried therein shall be subordinate and
junior to the interest of Secured Party.

                  (k) Only Agreement. This Agreement shall govern the actions,
rights and obligations of Securities Intermediary, and the governing law, with
respect to the Collateral Accounts and the Collateral notwithstanding any term
or condition in any agreement other than this Agreement as it may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified in writing.

                  (l) Care of Financial Assets. Securities Intermediary shall
maintain possession or control of all Financial Assets and other property
credited to the Collateral Accounts by segregating such Financial Assets and
other property from its proprietary assets and keeping them free of any lien,
charge or claim of any third party granted or created by Securities Intermediary
except as may be necessary or required under customary market practice.
Securities Intermediary shall take such other steps to ensure that Financial
Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts are identified as being held for
customers of Securities Intermediary as may required under applicable law or in
accordance with custom and practice in the industry.

                  (m) Further Actions. Securities Intermediary shall take such
further actions as Secured Party shall reasonably request as being necessary or
desirable to maintain or achieve perfection or priority of Secured Party's
security interest with respect to the Collateral and to permit Secured Party to
exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral.

                  SECTION 7. LIMITATIONS ON DUTIES, AND EXCULPATION AND
INDEMNIFICATION, OF SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY.

                  (a) Limitation on Duty of Care; Exculpation. Securities
Intermediary's duties hereunder are only those specifically provided herein, and
neither Securities Intermediary nor any of its officers, directors, employees or
agents shall incur any liability whatsoever for any actions or omissions
hereunder except for any such liability arising out of or in connection with
Securities Intermediary's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Securities
Intermediary has no obligation to ensure the sufficiency of this Agreement or
the arrangements described hereunder to satisfy any objectives of Secured Party
or Pledgor. Securities Intermediary shall have no duty to supervise or to
provide investment counseling or advice to Pledgor or Secured Party with respect
to the purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of any Financial Assets
held hereunder. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the
Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or
persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying
on opinions and advice of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Pledgor or
Secured

Party), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it
without independent investigation of the underlying facts. Except as
specifically otherwise provided in this Agreement, Securities Intermediary shall
not be responsible for enforcing compliance by the other parties to this
Agreement with their respective duties and obligations to each other under this
or any other Agreement.

                  (b) Consultation with Counsel. Securities Intermediary may
consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel as to the construction of
any of the provisions of this Agreement, and shall incur no liability in acting
in good faith in accordance with the reasonable advice or opinion of such
counsel.

                  (c) Reasonable Reliance. Securities Intermediary shall be
fully protected and shall suffer no liability in acting in accordance with any
written instructions reasonably believed by it to have been given (i) by Secured
Party with respect to any aspect of the operation of the Collateral Accounts
(including any such instructions relating to any investment or transfer of any
amounts held therein), (ii) by Pledgor, to the extent provided in Section 4(b),
with respect to the Collateral Accounts, or (iii) by Secured Party until such
time as Securities Intermediary receives notice of the substitution of such
Secured Party pursuant to Section 11.

                  (d) Indemnification. Pledgor agrees to indemnify Securities
Intermediary and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against
any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, injuries and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to,
growing out of or resulting from this Agreement or the performance of its
obligations hereunder, except to the extent arising out of or in connection with
Securities Intermediary's gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

                  (e) None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the
Securities Intermediary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur
any liability , financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

                  (f) The Securities Intermediary shall have no obligation to
invest and reinvest any cash held in the Securities Account in the absence of
timely and specific written investment direction from the Secured Party or the
Pledgor, as the case may be. In no event shall the Securities Intermediary be
liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred
thereon. The Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of
losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its
stated maturity or the failure of the Secured Party to provide timely written
investment direction.

                  SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY SECURITIES
INTERMEDIARY. Securities Intermediary hereby represents and warrants to Pledgor
and Secured Party as follows:

                  (a) Corporate Power. Securities Intermediary has all necessary
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement.


                                     E-A-10

<PAGE>   260

                  (b) Execution Authorized. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Securities Intermediary have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Securities
Intermediary.

                  (c) Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary is a
"securities intermediary" (as that term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of
the Code) and is acting in such capacity with respect to the Collateral
Accounts. Securities Intermediary is not a "clearing corporation" (as that term
is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the Code).

                  SECTION 9. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate, and
all rights to the Collateral Accounts and all other Collateral registered to or
held therein shall revert to Pledgor, upon Securities Intermediary's receipt of
written notice, signed by an authorized officer of Secured Party, that the
Collateral Account Agreement has terminated. The provisions of Sections 6(b) and
7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 10. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF SECURITIES
INTERMEDIARY.

                  (a) Removal. Securities Intermediary may be removed at any
time by written notice given by Secured Party to Securities Intermediary and
Pledgor, but such removal shall not become effective until a successor
Securities Intermediary reasonably acceptable to Pledgor shall have been
appointed by Secured Party and shall have accepted such appointment in writing.

                  (b) Resignation. Securities Intermediary may resign at any
time by giving not less than thirty days' written notice to Secured Party and
Pledgor, but such removal shall not become effective until a successor
Securities Intermediary reasonably acceptable to Pledgor shall have been
appointed by Secured Party and shall have accepted such appointment in writing.
If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Securities Intermediary shall not
have been delivered to the resigning Securities Intermediary within sixty days
after the giving of any such notice of resignation, the resigning Securities
Intermediary may, at the expense of Pledgor, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary.

                  (c) Successor Securities Intermediary. Any successor
Securities Intermediary shall be a bank or trust company, having capital and
surplus of at least $50 million, located in the State of New York. If any
successor Securities Intermediary does not accept deposits for non-fiduciary
customers it may establish, in its name as custodian under this agreement, an
noninterest-bearing deposit account ("SUBSTITUTE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") to hold any
credit balances which would otherwise have been held for the credit of the
Restricted Deposit Account on terms comparable to those required of the
Restricted Deposit Account. The Substitute Deposit Account may be established
with any depository institution, including a depository institution affiliated
with the successor Securities Intermediary, that (1) has one of the three
highest deposit ratings available from S&P or Moody's or, if the institution is
not rated, is a subsidiary of a holding company that has one of the three
highest long term credit ratings available from S&P or Moody's, (2) is a member
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and (3) has Tier 1 capital (as
defined in such regulations of its primary Federal banking regulator) of not
less than $50,000,000. In such circumstances, the successor Securities
Intermediary shall credit the Substitute Deposit Account to the Securities
Account.

<PAGE>   261

                  (d) Waiver of Pledgor's Objection to Successor. If Pledgor
does not object in writing to the appointment of a successor Securities
Intermediary within five days after notice of such appointment from Secured
Party, Pledgor shall be deemed to have consented to such appointment.

                  (e) Process of Succession. Upon the appointment of a successor
Securities Intermediary and its acceptance of such appointment, the resigning or
removed Securities Intermediary shall transfer all items of Collateral held by
it to such successor (which items of Collateral shall be transferred to new
Collateral Accounts established and maintained by such successor). Following
such appointment all references herein to Securities Intermediary shall be
deemed a reference to such successor; provided that the provisions of Section
6(b) and 7 hereof shall continue to inure to the benefit of the resigning or
removed Securities Intermediary with respect to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Securities Intermediary
hereunder.

                  SECTION 11. SECURED PARTY AS AGENT. Secured Party has been
appointed to act as Secured Party by Lenders. Secured Party shall at all times
be the same Person that is Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of
resignation by Agent pursuant to subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement shall
also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement;
removal of Agent pursuant to subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement shall also
constitute removal as Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of a
successor Agent pursuant to subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement shall also
constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under subsection 9.7 of the Credit
Agreement by a successor Agent, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or
removed Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such
successor Secured Party all items of Collateral held by Securities Intermediary
hereunder (which shall be credited to, and held for the credit of, a Restricted
Securities Account maintained for such successor Secured Party), together with
all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement,
and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to
financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or
appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of
the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed
Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring or removed Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder. Secured Party (as notified to
Securities Intermediary from time to time in accordance with this provision)
shall give notice to Securities Intermediary of the appointment of a successor
Secured Party and, thereafter, Securities Intermediary shall treat such
successor as Secured Party under this Agreement for all purposes.

further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Securities
Intermediary may reasonably request, in order to permit it to performance its

hereof or as to the Securities Intermediary and the Agent, such other address as

parties hereto.

                  SECTION 14. AMENDMENTS; ETC. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any party herefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the other parties, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

                  SECTION 15. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in

jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                  SECTION 16. HEADINGS. Section and subsection headings in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not

SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY
TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS

matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of

ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of
