                      UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT
                           DATED AS OF MARCH 30, 2001


         This UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") is made as
of the 30th day of March, 2001, by and among LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES
TRUST ("LEXINGTON"), LEPERCQ CORPORATE INCOME FUND L.P. ("LCIF") AND LEPERCQ
CORPORATE INCOME FUND II L.P. ("LCIF II"), jointly and severally (collectively,
the "BORROWERS" and individually, a "BORROWER") acting by and through LEXINGTON
CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST ("BORROWERS' REPRESENTATIVE") and FLEET NATIONAL
BANK, a national banking association ("LENDER"),

         WHEREAS, the Borrowers desire to obtain a Revolving Credit Commitment
from Lender pursuant to which Lender will make Loans (as hereinafter defined) to
and for the benefit of one or more of the Borrowers in an amount not to exceed
$35,000,000 (minus the face amount of any Letter of Credit outstanding or
requested hereunder) at any one time; and

         WHEREAS, Lender is willing, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, to extend a Revolving Credit Commitment and to make Loans to and for the
benefit of the Borrowers.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         SECTION 1.        DEFINITIONS

         1.1. DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement all capitalized terms not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A, applicable
both to the singular and the plural forms of the terms defined.

         1.2. COMPUTATION OF TIME PERIODS. In this Agreement, in the computation
of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word
"FROM" means "FROM AND INCLUDING" and the words "TO" and "UNTIL" each mean "TO
BUT EXCLUDING". Periods of days referred to in this Agreement shall be counted
in calendar days unless Business Days are expressly prescribed. Any period
determined hereunder by reference to a month or months or year or years shall
end on the day in the relevant calendar month in the relevant year, if
applicable, immediately preceding the date numerically corresponding to the
first day of such subsequent period, provided that if such period commences on
the last day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month during which such period is to end),
such period shall, unless otherwise expressly required by the other provisions
of this Agreement, end on the last day of the calendar month.

         1.3. ACCOUNTING TERMS. Subject to Section 6.12, for purposes of this
Agreement, all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in conformity with GAAP.
<PAGE>   10
         1.4. OTHER TERMS. All other terms contained in this Agreement shall,
unless the context indicates otherwise, have the meanings assigned to such terms
by the Uniform Commercial Code to the extent the same are defined therein.

         SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS

         2.1. LOAN FACILITY.

                  (a) AVAILABILITY. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to
any Borrower from time to time during the period from the Initial Funding Date
to the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in an
amount not to exceed $35,000,000 (minus the face amount of any Letter of Credit
requested or outstanding hereunder) at such time. Subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, any Borrower may repay any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan on
any day which is a Business Day and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed by
any Borrower, up to the amount available under this Section 2.1(a), at the time
of such Borrowing, until the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.

                  (b) REVOLVING CREDIT TERMINATION DATE. The Revolving Credit
Commitment shall terminate, and all outstanding Obligations shall be paid in
full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Lender's obligation to make Loans
shall terminate on the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.

         2.2. AUTHORIZED AGENTS. On the Closing Date and from time to time
thereafter, the Borrowers' Representative shall deliver to the Lender a
certificate from a Responsible Officer setting forth the names of the employees
and agents authorized to request Loans and Letters of Credit for each Borrower
and to request a conversion/continuation of any Loan and containing a specimen
signature of each such employee or agent. The employees and agents so authorized
shall also be authorized to act for any Borrower in respect of all other matters
relating to the Loan Documents. The Lender shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on such employee's or agent's authority to request such Loan or
Letter of Credit or such conversion/continuation until the Lender receive
written notice to the contrary. The Lender shall not have any duty to verify the
authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation or any other document, and, with respect to an
oral request for such a Loan or Letter of Credit or such
conversion/continuation, the Lender shall have no duty to verify the identity of
any person representing himself or herself as one of the employees or agents
authorized to make such request or otherwise to act on behalf of such Borrower.
Lender shall not incur any liability to any Borrower or any other Person in
acting upon any telephonic or facsimile notice referred to above which the
Lender believes to have been given by a person duly authorized to act on behalf
of such Borrower and such Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the
Lender from any loss or expense Lender might incur in acting in good faith as
provided in this Section 2.2.

         2.3. PROMISE TO REPAY; EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS; BORROWERS'
              OBLIGATIONS;

<PAGE>   11
                  JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.

                  (a) PROMISE TO REPAY. Each Borrower hereby, jointly and
severally, agrees to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan, and further
agrees to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the Note. Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to
Lender on the Closing Date, a joint and several promissory note, substantially
in the form of Exhibit B, with appropriate insertions, evidencing the Loans and
thereafter shall execute and deliver such other promissory notes substantially
in the form of Exhibit B as are necessary to evidence the Loans owing to the
Lender after giving effect to any assignment thereof.

                  (b) LOAN RECORDS. Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice a record (a "LOAN ACCOUNT") evidencing the Indebtedness of the
Borrowers to Lender resulting from each Loan owing to Lender from time to time,
including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to Lender from
time to time hereunder and under the Note.

                  (c) ENTRIES BINDING. The entries made in the Loan Account
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (d) BORROWERS' OBLIGATIONS.

                           (i) Upon any Event of Default each Borrower jointly,
severally and unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender such amounts as are
necessary to cure the Event of Default or, at the option of the Lender as
provided in Section 8.2, to pay the outstanding Obligations in full.

                           (ii) Each Borrower's Obligation is unconditional
except as expressly set forth herein, and each Borrower agrees that the Lender,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall not be required to assert any
claim or cause of action against the Borrowers' Representative or any other
Borrower or Guarantor before asserting any claim or cause of action against a
specific Borrower under this Agreement. Each Borrower further agrees that the
Lender shall not be required to pursue or foreclose on any Collateral that it
may receive from any Borrower or Guarantor as security for any of the
Obligations before making a claim or asserting a cause of action against a
specific Borrower under this Agreement.

                           (iii) Lender's failure to perfect (by recording or
otherwise), protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien in any
Collateral given as security for the Obligations or any other collateral now or
hereafter securing all or any part of the Obligations shall not release any
Borrower from its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement.

                           (iv) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or
in the Loan Documents, presentment, protest, demand, and notice of protest and
demand, and notice of receipt of any and all Collateral, and of the exercise of
possessory remedies or foreclosure on any and all Collateral received by Lender
from any Borrower or Guarantor are hereby waived.

<PAGE>   12
                           (v) No Borrower's Obligation under this Agreement
shall be affected, modified, or impaired by the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangements, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar
proceedings affecting any other Borrower or Guarantor or the Borrowers'
Representative, or any of the assets belonging to any of them, nor shall this
Agreement be affected, modified, or impaired by the invalidity of the Note or
any of the other Loan Documents.

                           (vi) Without notice to any other Borrower or
Guarantor or the Borrowers' Representative, without the consent of a specific
Borrower or Borrowers' Representative, the Lender may:

                                    (a) grant a specific Borrower or Guarantor
                           extensions of the time for payment of the Obligations
                           or any part hereof;

                                    (b) renew any of the Obligations;

                                    (c) grant a specific Borrower or Guarantor
                           extensions of time for performance of agreements or
                           other indulgences;

                                    (d) at any time release any Collateral, or
                           any mortgage, deed of trust or security interest in
                           any Collateral, that may hereafter secure any of the
                           Obligations;

                                    (e) compromise, settle, release, or
                           terminate any or all of the obligations, covenants,
                           or agreements of any specific Borrower or Guarantor
                           under the Note or other Loan Documents;

                                    (f) at any time release any Guarantor from
                           its Guaranty of any of the Obligations; and

                                    (g) with a specific Borrower's written
                           consent, modify or amend any obligation, covenant, or
                           agreement of such Borrower as set forth in its Note
                           or any of the other Loan Documents (and such
                           amendments shall nevertheless be binding upon the
                           other Borrowers).

                           (vii) This Agreement shall continue to be effective,
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at time any whole or partial payment or
performance of any Obligations is or is sought to be rescinded or must otherwise
be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or Guarantor upon or
as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or Guarantor or for any substantial
part of its property, or

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   13
otherwise, all as though such payments and performance had not been made, in any
case to the extent of the performance rescinded or payments restored or
returned. This Agreement and each Borrower's Obligations hereunder shall not be
affected in any way by the transfer or other disposition of any Collateral
granted to Lender whether by deed, operation of law, or otherwise.

                           (viii) Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, in the event of any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving LCIF, LCIFII, or any Guarantor or
in the event of any challenge to the full enforceability of all or any of the
Loan Documents by any creditor of LCIF, LCIFII, or any Guarantor or a trustee,
receiver or debtor-in-possession of, for or in respect of LCIF, LCIFII, or any
Guarantor the liability of LCIF, LCIFII, or any Guarantor under the Loan
Documents shall be limited to the lesser of the following amounts minus, in
either case, one dollar ($1.00):

                  (a) the lowest amount which would render the undertakings of
LCIF, LCIFII, or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents a fraudulent conveyance
under the laws of the State of New York or other similar or analogous law or
statute of the state having jurisdiction over the subject matter; or

                  (b) the lowest amount which would render the undertakings of
LCIF, LCIFII, or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents a fraudulent transfer
under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended.

        Section 2.3 (d) (viii) shall control every other provision of the Loan
Documents except, however, this provision shall not be construed to prohibit a
valuation of the assets of LCIF LCIFII, or any Guarantor for an amount exceeding
(a) or (b) above, minus $1.00, at a date subsequent to the date hereof,
whereupon the individual liability of LCIF LCIFII, or any Guarantor under the
Loan Documents shall increase with the value of such assets up to a maximum of
$35,000,000.

         2.4 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS AND GUARANTORS.

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

                  (b) Each of the Borrowers and Guarantors, jointly and
severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a
surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other
Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations
(including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section
2.4(b)), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations
shall be the joint and several

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   14
Obligations of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors without preferences or
distinction among them.

                  (c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers or
Guarantors shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations
as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the
terms thereof, then in each such event, subject to the grace periods set forth
therein, the other Borrowers and Guarantors will make such payment with respect
to, or perform, such Obligation.

                  (d) The Obligations of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors
under the provisions of this Section 2.4 constitute full recourse Obligations of
each of the Borrowers and Guarantors enforceable against each such Person to the
full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstance
whatsoever.

                  (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, each of the Borrowers and Guarantors hereby waives
notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans
made under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by
the Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, and, generally, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities
of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each of the Borrowers
and Guarantors hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or
postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the
acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by
the Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any of the
Borrowers or Guarantors in the performance or satisfaction of any term,
covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by the Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and
the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time
or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition,
substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any of the Borrowers or
Guarantors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the
Borrowers and Guarantors assents to any other action or delay in acting or
failure to act on the part of the Lender with respect to the failure by any of
the Borrowers or Guarantors to comply with any of its respective Obligations,
including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any
right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or
regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4,
afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any of the Borrowers or
Guarantors, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section
2.4, it being the intention of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors that, so
long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of
such Borrowers and Guarantors under this Section 2.4 shall not be discharged
except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The
Obligations of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors under this Section 2.4 shall
not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization,
arrangement, liquidation, re-construction or similar proceeding with respect to
any of the Borrowers and

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   15
Guarantors or the Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers and
Guarantors hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name,
membership, constitution or place of formation of any of the Borrowers and
Guarantors or the Lender.

                  (f) The provisions of this Section 2.4 are made for the
benefit of the Lender and their permitted successors and assigns, and may be
enforced against any or all of the Borrowers and Guarantors as often as occasion
therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lender first to
marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any other
Borrower or Guarantor or to exhaust any remedies available to them against any
other Borrower or Guarantor or to resort to any other source or means of
obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other
remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall remain in effect until all of
the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at
any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the
Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers
or Guarantor or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.4 will forthwith be
reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

         2.5. PROCEDURE FOR BORROWING UNDER THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.

                  (a) NOTICE OF BORROWING. Whenever any Borrower desires to
borrow under Section 2.1, Borrowers' Representative shall deliver to Lender a
notice of borrowing (a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") substantially in the form of
Exhibit C accompanied by a Certificate of Unencumbered Eligible Properties no
later than 10:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in
advance of the proposed Funding Date for any Libor Loan and no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Funding Date for any Base Rate
Loan. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify and include (as appropriate):

                           (i) the Borrower and proposed Funding Date (which
shall be a Business Day);

                           (ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing (which
amount shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount);

                           (iii) whether such Loans will be Base Rate Loans or
Libor Loans and, if Libor Loans are specified, the initial Interest Period
requested for such Libor Loans;

                           (iv) the account into which the net proceeds of the
requested Borrowing are to be credited;

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   16
                           (v) a statement as to whether the representations and
warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true, correct and accurate in all
material respects to the same extent as though made on and as of the date of
such Notice of Borrowing;

                           (vi) a statement as to whether any Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the proposed
Borrowing; and

                           (vii) a statement as to whether the Borrowers have
met and maintained the Preferred Interest Rate Standard and if so for what
period of time.

        If Borrowers' Representative fails to specify the type of Revolving
Credit Loan (i.e. Base Rate Loan or Libor Loan) or an initial Interest Period,
Borrowers' Representative will be deemed, in each case, to have requested a Base
Rate Loan.

                  (b) MAKING OF REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. Subject to the
fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2,
as applicable, the Lender shall make the proceeds of each Loan available to the
Borrowers' Representative at the Lender's office in Boston, Massachusetts on
such Funding Date and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance with the
Borrowers' Representative's disbursement instructions set forth in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing.

         2.6. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

         2.7. INTEREST ON THE LOANS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a) GENERALLY. Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be (i) a Libor
Loan or a Base Rate Loan as selected or deemed to have been selected by
Borrowers' Representative initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given
pursuant to Section 2.5(a); or (ii) as selected pursuant to Section 2.8(c);
except in each case for any portion of a Libor Loan which is converted to a Base
Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.5. All Loans and the outstanding
principal balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and such other
Obligations are due and payable until paid in full but excluding the date of
repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise), at the interest rates
specified as follows (the "APPLICABLE RATE"):

                           (iii) in the case of a Libor Loan, at an interest
rate per annum for and during each Interest Period equal to the Libor Rate for
such Interest Period; and

                           (iv) in the case of the Base Rate Loan or any other
Obligation, at an interest rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from
time to time.

The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall be
selected by the Borrowers' Representative at the time a Notice of Borrowing or a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Borrowers' Representative
to the Lender; provided,

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   17
however, the Borrowers' Representative may not select the Libor Rate as the
applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on any Loan if at the time
of such selection a Default or Event of Default would occur from such Borrowing
or conversion or continuation or has occurred and is continuing and provided
further that, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Libor Loan then outstanding may, at the Lender's option,
convert to a Base Rate Loan. If on any day any Revolving Credit Loan is
outstanding with respect to which a Notice of Continuation/Conversion has not
been delivered to the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then for
that day interest on that Revolving Credit Loan shall be determined by reference
to the Base Rate.

                  (b) INTEREST PAYMENTS. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan shall
be payable in arrears (A) on each Interest Payment Date, (B) upon the payment or
prepayment thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not previously paid in full,
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

                           (ii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of any
outstanding Reimbursement Obligation shall be calculated on the last day of each
calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of the
calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of
such Reimbursement Obligation, (B) upon repayment thereof in full or in part,
and (C) if not previously paid in full, at the time such other Reimbursement
Obligations become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

                  (c) LATE CHARGE; DEFAULT INTEREST. If any payment of principal
or interest on any portion of a Loan or any other Obligation becoming due
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents is not made within ten (10) days of
the date such payment is due, Borrowers shall be subject to a late charge of
five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. Borrowers shall be entitled to
a one-time waiver of the late charge prior to the Revolving Credit Termination
Date. Subsequent waivers during the term of the Loan shall be at the Lender's
discretion. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Borrowers shall pay interest (to the extent permitted by law in the
case of interest on overdue interest) on such defaulted amount accruing from and
including the date of such Event of Default up to but excluding the date of
actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum which is
the sum of (i) four percent (4%) plus (ii) the Applicable Rate otherwise
payable. All payments due under this Section 2.7(c) shall be payable upon
demand.

         2.8. DURATION AND DETERMINATION OF INTEREST PERIOD; DETERMINATION OF
              INTEREST RATE; CONTINUATION/CONVERSION OF LOANS.

                  (a) DURATION AND DETERMINATION OF INTEREST PERIOD. Each notice
as set forth in Section 2.5(a) (with respect to a Borrowing of Libor Rate Loans)
or Section 2.8(c) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of Libor
Loans) shall designate an Interest Period, provided, that no more than six (6)
Interest Periods shall be in effect at any one time for any Libor Loans or Base
Rate Loans or any combination of the two.

                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   18


            (b) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE. As soon as practicable on the
second Business Day prior to the first day of each Interest Period in the case
of a Libor Rate Loan (the "Interest Rate Determination Date"), the Lender shall
determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of Libor Base
in the case of a Libor Rate Loan) the interest rate which shall apply to the
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 Borrowers' Representative and to each
Lender. The Lender's determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent
manifest error, and shall be binding upon each Borrower. Any failure by Lender
to take into account any reserve percentage when calculating interest due on
Libor Loans shall not constitute, whether by course of dealing or otherwise,
waiver by such Lender of its right to collect such amount for any future period.

            (c) CONVERSION/CONTINUATION OF LOANS.

                  (i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15,
Borrowers' Representative shall have the option (A) to convert at any time all
or any part of outstanding Base Rate Loans to Libor Loans or (B) to convert all
or any part of outstanding Libor Loans having Interest Periods which expire on
the same date to Base Rate Loans on such expiration date; or (C) to continue all
or any part of outstanding Libor Loans having Interest Periods which expire on
the same date as Libor Loans, and the succeeding Interest Period of such
continued Libor Loans shall commence on such expiration date; provided, however,
no such outstanding Libor Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a
Libor Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any
of the provisions of Section 2.14 or 2.15 or (ii) if a Default or Event of
Default would occur as a result thereof or has occurred and is continuing. Any
conversion into or continuation of Libor Rate Loans under this Section 2.8(c)
shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000
in excess of that amount.

                  (ii) To convert or continue a Loan Borrowers' Representative
shall deliver a Notice of Continuation/Conversion substantially in the form of
Exhibit E to Lender no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least three
(3) Business Days in advance of the proposed continuation/conversion date in the
case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, Libor Loans or at least one (1)
Business Day in advance of the proposed continuation/conversion date in the case
of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan. A Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall
specify (A) the proposed continuation/conversion date (which shall be a Business
Day), (B) the principal amount of the Loans to be continued/converted, (C)
whether such Loan shall be converted and/or continued, (D) in the case of a
continuation of, or conversion to, a Libor Loan, the requested Interest Period,
and (E) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result from the proposed continuation/conversion and (F) a statement as to
whether the Borrowers have met and maintained the Preferred Interest Rate
Standard and if so for what period of time.

      Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.14 and 2.15, a Notice of
Continuation/Conversion shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest
Rate Determination


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   19
Date, and Borrowers shall be bound to effect a continuation and/or conversion
(as applicable) in accordance therewith.

      If Borrowers' Representative fails to give a valid Notice of
Continuation/Conversion in respect of any portion of a Libor Loan which is not
repaid in accordance with the terms hereof at the end of the relevant Interest
Period, such portion shall be converted automatically into a Base Rate Loan;
provided that if Borrowers' Representative subsequently gives a valid Notice of
Continuation/Conversion in respect of such Base Rate Loan, it shall be converted
into a Libor Loan in accordance with the requirements for a
continuation/conversion under this Section 2.8.

      2.9. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS; MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

            (a) Subject to Section 2.9(c), Borrowers may, at their option,
prepay any Loans on (i) the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in whole
or in part, without premium or penalty or additional cost or expense, or (ii)
any other time subject to the indemnification obligations contained in Section
2.16; upon, in each case, at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice
to Lender, specifying the amount of prepayment. Base Rate Loans may be prepaid
without premium or penalty or additional cost or expense at any time. Each
notice of prepayment pursuant to this clause (a) shall be irrevocable and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified, together with accrued interest to such date on the Loans and all
amounts (if any) payable pursuant to Section 2.16. Partial prepayments of the
Loans pursuant to this clause (a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$100,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

            (b) The Loans shall be subject to certain mandatory repricing
pursuant to and upon the occurrence of the events described in the provisions of
Sections 2.14 and 2.15.

            (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11, Borrowers'
Representative may designate the application of any prepayments to be applied to
principal on the Revolving Credit Loans to the Libor Loans or Base Rate Loans as
it may select, provided that if Borrowers' Representative does not designate
such application, such prepayments shall be applied (i) first to outstanding
Base Rate Loans, and (ii) second to outstanding Libor Loans.

      2.10. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. Interest, fees and other amounts
calculated on the basis of a rate per annum shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest on any
Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of an Interest Period,
as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment or the expiration
date of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided,
however, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day's
interest shall be paid on such Loan.

      2.11. PAYMENTS.


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   20
            (a) MANNER AND TIME OF PAYMENT. All payments of principal of and
interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses) which are payable to the
Lender shall be made without condition or reservation of right, in immediately
available funds, delivered to the Lender not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the date and at the place due, to such account of the Lender as it may
designate, for the account of the Lender and funds received by the Lender,
including, without limitation, funds in respect of any Loans to be made on that
date, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on any given Business Day shall
be credited against payment to be made that day and, for purposes of calculation
of interest, funds received by the Lender after that time shall be deemed to
have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

            (b) APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS. (i) All payments of principal and
interest in respect of outstanding Libor Loans and Base Rate Loans, all payments
in respect of Reimbursement Obligations shall be applied in the following order:

                        (A) First, to pay principal of and interest on Letter of
                  Credit Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are
                  contingent, deposited with the Lender to provide cash
                  collateral in respect of such Obligations which cash
                  collateral shall be released and applied in accordance with
                  the provisions of this Section 2.11(b) in the event such
                  Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn upon);

                        (B) Second, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees,
                  expenses reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lender;

                        (C) Third, to pay interest due in respect of Loans;

                        (D) Fourth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of
                  principal outstanding on Loans; and

                        (E) Fifth, to the ratable payment of all other
                  Obligations.

                  (iii) The Lender, in its sole discretion subject only to the
terms of this Section 2.11(b)(iii), may pay from the proceeds of Loans made to
the Borrower hereunder if made pursuant to a deemed request as provided in this
Section 2.11(b)(iii), all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder, including,
without limitation, amounts payable with respect to payments of principal,
interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees and all reimbursements for expenses
pursuant to Section 10.12 in any case, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default with respect to nonpayment of such amounts.
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to make Loans, which
Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, in each case, upon notice from the Lender as
described in the following sentence for the purpose of paying principal,
interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees due from any Borrower, reimbursing
expenses pursuant to Section 10.12 and paying any and all other amounts due and
payable by any Borrower hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan
Document, from


                                      -12-
<PAGE>   21
and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with
respect to nonpayment of such amounts, and agrees that all such Loans so made
shall be deemed to have been requested by it pursuant to Section 2.1 as of the
date of the aforementioned notice. Any Loans made under this Section
2.11(b)(iii) shall cure the Event of Default for which such Loans were advanced
to the extent such Event of Default can be cured by the payment of money and the
making of such a Loan does not create a Default or Event of Default.

            (c) PAYMENTS ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be made
by any Borrower hereunder or under the Note is stated to be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding
Business Day (or, as set forth in Section 2.7(b), the next preceding Business
Day), and any such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the
payment of interest and fees hereunder.

      2.12. USE OF LOAN PROCEEDS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT. Except for any amounts
advanced by Lender under Section 2.11(b)(iii), the proceeds of the Loans and the
Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower hereunder shall be used
directly (or indirectly in the case of Letters of Credit) only (i) to refinance
existing indebtedness; (ii) to provide financing for income-producing
properties; (iii) to fund leasehold improvements, renovation, expansion and
construction of income-producing properties; or (iv) for working capital
purposes.

      2.13. INCREASED COSTS.

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

                  (i) subject Lender to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge,
fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the
Loan Documents, Revolving Credit Commitment or the Loans (other than Excluded
Taxes); or

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

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


                                      -13-
<PAGE>   22
                  (iv) impose on any party any other conditions or requirements
with respect to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Loans, the Revolving
Credit Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the
Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment forms a part;

and the result of any of the foregoing is:

                                   (A) to increase the cost to Lender of making,
                        funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any
                        of the Loans; or

                                   (B) to reduce the amount of principal,
                        interest or other amount payable to such Lender
                        hereunder; or

                                   (C) to require Lender to make any payment or
                        to forgo any interest or other sum payable hereunder,
                        the amount of which payment or foregone interest or
                        other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount
                        of any sum receivable or deemed received by Lender from
                        the Borrowers hereunder;

then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will, within thirty (30) days after
written demand made by Lender at any time and from time to time and as often as
the occasion therefor may arise, pay to Lender, such additional amounts as
Lender shall determine in good faith will be sufficient to compensate Lender for
such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. It
is agreed that Lender shall make a reasonable allocation of additional costs,
reductions, payments or foregone interest amounts or other sums among its Loans
made hereunder and loans to other borrowers affected thereby; shall treat the
Borrowers hereunder in a manner substantially the same as its treatment of its
other customers under other loan facilities affected thereby and shall notify
Borrowers' Representative of any such event as soon as reasonably possible after
Lender's discovery thereof.

            (b) If any change in existing law or future law, governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with
appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and as a result thereof a
Lender determines in good faith that the amount of capital required to be
maintained by it must be increased as a result of the Loans made or deemed to be
made pursuant hereto, then such Lender shall notify the Borrowers'
Representative of such fact as soon as reasonably possible after the discovery
thereof, and the Borrowers' Representative shall pay to Lender from time to time
within 30 days after written demand, as an additional fee payable hereunder,
such amount as Lender shall determine in good faith and certify in a notice to
the Borrowers' Representative to be an amount that will adequately compensate
such Lender in light of these circumstances for its increased costs of
maintaining such capital.

      2.14. CHANGE IN LAW RENDERING LIBOR LOANS UNLAWFUL. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event that any Requirements of
Law or any change in any existing Requirements of Law or in the interpretation
thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof,
in any case adopted, issued or effective after the date hereof, shall make it
unlawful for Lender to fund any portion of the Libor Loans or to give effect to
its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to its making Libor Loans
Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify Borrowers' Representative
thereof in writing stating the reason therefor and the effective date of such
event, and upon the effectiveness of any such event the obligation of Lender to
make or maintain its Libor Loans to any Borrower shall forthwith be suspended
for the duration of such illegality and during such illegality Lender shall,
upon payment of any amounts owing under Section 2.16 with respect to such
conversion, convert its share of the Libor Loans to (upon effectiveness of any
such event and during the continuance of such event) Base Rate Loans. If and
when such illegality with respect thereto ceases to exist, such suspension shall
cease and Lender shall notify Borrowers' Representative that the Base Rate Loan
into which such share of the Libor Loans was converted pursuant to this Section
2.11 was converted to a Libor Loan, respectively, on the first day of the next
succeeding Interest Period.

      2.15. LIBOR AVAILABILITY. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the
Business Day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
for the Libor Loans, Lender shall have determined in good faith (which
determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
upon Borrowers) that U.S. Dollar deposits in the amount of the principal amount
of the Libor Loans which is to have such Interest Period are not generally
available in the London interbank market, or that the rate at which such U.S.
Dollar deposits are being offered will not accurately reflect the cost to Lender
making or funding such principal amount of such Libor Loans during such Interest
Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate,
Lender shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telephonic
notice of such determination to Borrowers' Representative and (i) such principal
amount of such Libor Loans shall automatically be converted, as of the last day
of the Interest Period during which such determination is made, to Base Rate
Loans and (ii) any request by Borrowers' Representative for such Libor Loans
pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof shall thereupon, and until the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist (as notified by Lender to Borrowers'
Representative) be deemed a request for the making of Base Rate Loans. If at any
time Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that
any contingency has occurred which adversely affects the London interbank market
or that any Requirement of Law or any change in any existing Requirement of Law
or in the interpretation thereof, in any case adopted, issued or effective after
the date hereof, or other circumstance affecting Lender or the London interbank
market makes the funding of the Libor Loans impracticable, Lender shall, as soon
as practicable thereafter, give written or telephonic notice of such
determination to Borrowers' Representative and (i) the Libor Loans shall
automatically be converted, as of the last day of each Interest Period during
which such determination is made and in each case in respect of the principal
amount of the Libor Loans having an Interest Period ending on such date, to Base
Rate Loans and (ii) any request by Borrowers' Representative for the Libor Loans
pursuant to


                                      -15-
<PAGE>   24
Section 2.5 hereof shall thereupon, and until the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist (as notified by Lender to Borrowers'
Representative), be deemed a request for the making of Base Rate Loans. Upon
such circumstances no longer existing, Borrowers' Representative may thereafter
request Libor Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

      2.16. INDEMNITIES. Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to
indemnify Lender on demand against any actual loss or expense (including but not
limited to any loss or expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing
or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain any
Loan or any portion thereof other than loss of profit or margin) and reasonable
administrative costs which any Lender or its branch or Affiliate may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (i) any default in payment or prepayment of the
principal amount of any Loan or any portion thereof or interest accrued thereon,
as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, by irrevocable notice of
payment or prepayment, or otherwise), (ii) the effect of the occurrence of any
Event of Default upon any Loan, (iii) the payment or prepayment of any principal
amount of any Loan or the conversion of any portion of any Libor Loan to Base
Rate Loans on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period or the
payment of any interest on such Loan, or portion thereof, on a day other than an
Interest Payment Date for the Loan or (iv) any failure of any Borrower to accept
or make a Borrowing of the Loans or continue or convert a Loan after delivery of
a notice requesting a Loan under Section 2.5 or, as the case may be, a notice
requesting a continuation or conversion under Section 2.8(c) or any failure by
any Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions precedent to the making of Loans
hereunder after it has requested the borrowing thereof (other than any such
conditions that are waived in accordance with the provisions hereof). The
determination of Lender of any amount payable under this Section 2.16 shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon each Borrower.

      2.17. FEES.

            (a) STANDBY FEE. The Borrowers' Representative shall pay to the
Lender an annual fee (the "STANDBY FEE"), on the daily amount by which the
Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Amount, for the period
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Revolving Credit Termination
Date, such fee being payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing on the first day
of the calendar quarter next succeeding the Closing Date. If the Outstanding
Amount equals or exceeds 50% of the Revolving Commitment the Standby Fee shall
be fifteen (15) basis points (.15%) per annum of the daily unused portion of the
Maximum Revolving Credit Commitment. If the Outstanding Amount is less than 50%
of the Maximum Revolving Commitment, the Standby Fee shall be twenty five (25)
basis points (.25%) per annum of the daily unused portion of the Maximum
Revolving Credit Commitment.

            (b) LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. In addition to any charges paid pursuant
to Section 3.1(g), the Borrowers' Representative shall pay to the Lender a fee
(the "LETTER OF CREDIT FEE") accruing at a per annum rate equal to the undrawn
face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable
Libor Margin and payable monthly, in advance, on the date such Letter of Credit
is issued and the first day of each calendar month thereafter; provided,


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   25
however, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long thereafter
as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the rate at which the Letter of
Credit Fee shall accrue and be payable shall be equal to three percent (3%) per
annum.

            (c) COMMITMENT FEE. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to
the Lender a commitment fee (the "COMMITMENT FEE") as set forth in that certain
letter agreement dated December 4, 2000, as revised on March 28, 2001 between
the Borrowers' Representative and the Lender.

            (d) CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES. The Standby Fee shall be
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360 day year.
All such fees shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest,
expense reimbursements, indemnification and other Obligations. All fees shall be
payable to the Lender in immediately available funds and shall be fully earned
and nonrefundable when paid. All fees specified or referred to in this Agreement
due to the Lender, including, without limitation, those referred to in this
Section 2.17, shall bear interest at the interest rate specified in Section
2.7(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
with respect to the nonpayment thereof and shall constitute Obligations.

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


      2.19. UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES.


            (a) "UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE PROPERTY" means a Property which is and
continues to be at all times:


                                      -17-
<PAGE>   26
                  (i) wholly owned in fee simple or ground leased pursuant to a
Financeable Ground Lease by a Borrower or Guarantor; and

                  (ii) unencumbered, free and clear of any Liens and other
matters effecting title other than for Permitted Exceptions and Customary
Permitted Liens; and

                  (iii) leased by Borrower or Guarantor to a single Class I or
Class II Credit Tenant subject to an Approved Lease; and

                  (iv) shall not be used for the following purposes:
restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, parking facilities (except for on-site
parking made available to tenants and visitors of the Property), car
dealerships, gambling enterprises, convenience stores or gas stations or any
other purpose which is not acceptable to the Lender; it being acknowledged and
agreed by the Lender that the following uses shall be permitted uses hereunder:
office, retail, industrial, warehouse, distribution, research and development or
data processing.

            (b) In addition, no Property shall be accepted as or continue to be
an Unencumbered Eligible Property unless the following are true, correct and
accurate in all material respects:

            (i) TITLE. The Borrower or Guarantor owning or ground leasing such
Property has good, record, marketable and indefeasible Fee Interest or Leasehold
Interest in such Property except for Permitted Exceptions and Customary
Permitted Liens.

            (ii) LEASES. Each of the Approved Leases and each Financeable Ground
Lease is in full force and effect and is a legally valid and binding obligation
of the Borrower or Guarantor who owns the Property and the other parties
thereto. None of the Approved Leases or any Financeable Ground Lease has been
amended, modified or terminated, nor has there been any change in or waiver of
any obligation contained in any such Approved Lease or Financeable Ground Lease
nor any set-off or counterclaim asserted by any tenant (or landlord) that in any
such case could result in a MAC. Such Borrower or Guarantor has not mortgaged,
pledged or otherwise encumbered any Approved Lease or Financeable Ground Lease
or its right to obtain rental, interest or other payments under any Approved
Lease. Rent has not been collected more than 30 days in advance (except for
security deposits in an amount not in excess of one month's installment of
rent). No material default beyond any applicable grace period or notice of
termination under any Approved Lease or Financeable Ground Lease is outstanding.
Such Borrower or Guarantor has performed all of its material repair and
maintenance obligations (if any) and, to the knowledge and belief of such
Borrower or Guarantor, each tenant under each Approved Lease and each ground
lessor under any Financeable Ground Lease has performed all of its material
repair, maintenance or other obligations.

Buildings are properly and legally connected directly to, and served exclusively
by, public water and sewer systems. No easements over land of others are
required for any such utilities, and no drainage of surface or other water
across land of others is required except in either case as disclosed in the

estate tax assessment and payment. The Buildings, all Building Service Equipment
and all paved or landscaped areas related to or used in connection with the
Buildings are located wholly within the perimeter lines of the lot or lots on
which the Properties are located except any real property covered by any
easement benefiting the Property or as disclosed in the Surveys.

            (vii) CONDITION OF BUILDING; NO ASBESTOS. There are no material
defects in the roof, foundation, structural elements and masonry walls of the
Buildings or their heating, ventilating and air conditioning, electrical,

or state law or governmental regulation, or any local ordinance, order or
regulation, including but not limited to laws, regulations, or ordinances
relating to zoning, building use and occupancy, subdivision control, fire
protection, health and sanitation; zoning laws permit use of the Buildings for
their current use; there is a sufficient number of parking spaces on the lot or

is located or on any real property covered by any easement benefiting such
Property or to permit the Buildings to be used under the zoning laws for their
current use; and all private ways providing access to such Property are zoned in

been validly issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority and are now in
full force and effect.

            (ix) NO REQUIRED REAL PROPERTY CONSENTS, PERMITS, ETC. No Borrower
or Guarantor has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, any Permits,
utility installations and connections (including, without limitation, drainage
facilities, curb cuts and street openings), or private consents required for the
maintenance, operation, servicing and use of such Property for its current use

such Property.

            (xii) REAL PROPERTY TAXES; SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. There are no unpaid

Property or any part thereof (except only real estate taxes not yet due and

<PAGE>   29
            (xv) COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Except as specifically set
forth in the Environmental Reports accepted for such Property delivered to
Lender and listed on Exhibit L, to the knowledge of each Borrower or Guarantor
each tenant is in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws, rules,
regulations and orders of all Governmental Authorities relating to environmental
protection, pollution control and Hazardous Materials and with respect to the
conduct of its business and the ownership of its properties, except for such
noncompliance which would not result in imposition of Liens, fines, penalties,
injunctive relief or other civil or criminal liabilities or which, in the
aggregate, could not have a MAC.

            (xvi) POLLUTION; HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. In connection with the
acquisition and ownership of its interests in such Property, the Borrower or
Guarantor who owns such Property has made and will continue to make such
inquiries, and has and will continue to cause such testing, surveying,
inspection or other action, with respect to such Property as is necessary or
desirable in connection with Hazardous Materials which might be present in the
air, soil, surface water or groundwater at such Property. Except as set forth in
the Environmental Reports listed on Exhibit F, to the best of such Borrower's or
Guarantor's knowledge there are no Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil,
surface water or groundwater at such Property and no Hazardous Materials (except
(i) Hazardous Materials maintained in accordance with all Requirements of Law
and necessary for the business operations of any such Property, including,
without limitation, petroleum used for heating oil and (ii) Hazardous Materials
that are not reasonably likely to result in a MAC in respect of such Property or
to have a material adverse effect on the value of such Property as security for
the Loans) are used in the operation of such Property.

            (xvii) MATERIALS PROVIDED TO LENDER. The Borrower or Guarantor who
is the owner of the applicable Property submitted for acceptance as an
Unencumbered Eligible Property has satisfied the requirements of paragraphs (g),
(h) and (i), of Section 5.1 in respect of such Property.

            (xviii) UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE PROPERTY APPLICATION. In order to
achieve or maintain the Preferred Interest Rate Standard any Borrower or
Guarantor may submit to Lender from time to time one or more Unencumbered
Eligible Property Applications which Lender shall review as promptly as possible
but nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as to require Lender
to approve any Unencumbered Eligible Property Application made by any Borrower
or Guarantor. All information submitted in connection with an Unencumbered
Eligible Property Application is subject to the reasonable approval of the
Lender. The Borrowers' Representative shall be notified of such Property's
rejection as an Unencumbered Eligible Property together with the basis for such
rejection in reasonable detail by the Lender as promptly as possible and in any
event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a complete Unencumbered
Eligible Property Application. If Lender has not accepted or rejected an
Unencumbered Eligible Property Application within five (5) Business Days after
receipt, Borrowers' Representative shall send a written reminder notice to
Lender and Lender's failure to reject an Unencumbered Eligible Property within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of such reminder notice shall be deemed
acceptance of same by Lender. In the event information


                                      -21-
<PAGE>   30
required to be submitted in connection with an Unencumbered Eligible Property
Application is submitted on a piecemeal basis, the ten (10) Business Day review
period shall not commence until Lender receives a transmittal letter from the
Borrowers' Representative accompanying the final submission stating that the
Borrowers' Representative now considers the Unencumbered Eligible Property
Application to be complete. Each Property listed on Schedule 1 has been approved
by the Lender as an Unencumbered Eligible Property.

            (xix) GUARANTIES. In the event an Unencumbered Eligible Property
Application is submitted for any Property that is not owned by a Borrower or
existing Guarantor, such Property shall only be accepted as an Unencumbered
Eligible Property pursuant to this Section 2.19 if a Guaranty has been executed
by the owner of such Unencumbered Eligible Property and delivered to the Lender.

            (xx) APPROVED UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES. Subject to the
continued requirements of Sections 2.19(a) and (b), the Properties identified on
Schedule 1 hereto are hereby approved as Unencumbered Eligible Properties.

      2.20. WITHDRAWAL OF UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. Borrowers'
Representative shall have the ability to withdraw any Unencumbered Eligible
Property from the terms of this Agreement so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists or occurs as a result (and upon such withdrawal, the applicable
Borrower or Guarantor (other than Lexington, LCIF and LCIFII) which owns such
Unencumbered Eligible Property (provided that same is the only Unencumbered
Eligible Property owned by such Borrower or Guarantor) shall be released from
all obligations in respect of this Agreement).

      2.21 EXCLUSION OF UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES. If any Unencumbered
Eligible Property fails to continue to meet the requirements of Sections 2.19(a)
and (b), then such Unencumbered Eligible Property shall no longer be considered
to be an Unencumbered Eligible Property for the purposes of determining whether
Borrowers have met or maintained the Preferred Interest Rate Standard. Within
two (2) Business Days after any Unencumbered Eligible Property fails to continue
to meet the requirements of Section 2.19(a) or Section 2.19(b), the Borrowers'
Representative shall submit a new Certificate of Unencumbered Eligible Property
to the Lender.

      SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

      3.1. LETTERS OF CREDIT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement hereby agrees to issue for the account of any Borrower one or
more Letters of Credit having an aggregate undrawn face amount of up to the
lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment minus the Outstanding Amount or
(ii) $5,000,000, subject to the following provisions:

            (a) TYPES AND AMOUNTS. Lender shall not have any obligation to

                                      -22-
<PAGE>   31
                  (i) if the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations with respect
to Lender, after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or extension of the
Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or
regulation upon Lender;

                  (ii) if on the date of the proposed issuance, amendment or
extension of such Letter of Credit (A) immediately after giving effect to the
issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit the Letter of Credit
Obligations at such time would exceed $5,000,000 at such time, or (B) one or
more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.2 would not on such date
be satisfied, unless such conditions are thereafter or have previously been
satisfied and written notice of such satisfaction is given to the Issuing Bank
by the Lender (and an Issuing Bank shall not otherwise be required to determine
that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2,
have been satisfied):

                  (iii) which has an expiration date later than the earlier of
(A) the date one (1) year after the date of issuance or (B) the Business Day
next preceding the scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; or

                  (iv) which is in a currency other than Dollars.

         (b) CONDITIONS. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, the
obligation of Lender to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit is subject
to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

                  (i) if Lender so requests, the Borrower on whose behalf the
Letter of Credit has been issued and the Borrowers' Representative shall have
executed and delivered to Lender a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and
such other documents and materials as may be required pursuant to the terms
thereof; provided, however, that such Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement
and other documents and agreements shall in no event require delivery of any
additional security by any Borrower or otherwise increase the obligations or
reduce the rights of the Borrowers hereunder or otherwise be inconsistent with
such rights or obligations; and

                  (ii) the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall
otherwise be satisfactory to the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

         (c) ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT The Borrowers' Representative shall
give Lender written notice to issue or cause to be issued a Letter of Credit not
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding
the requested date for issuance thereof under this Agreement, or such shorter
notice as may be acceptable to Lender. Such notice shall be irrevocable unless
and until such request is denied by the Lender and shall include a Notice of
Borrowing which complies with the requirements of Section 2.5(a) (modified as
appropriate) and specify (A) that such Letter of Credit is solely for the
account of and the name of a specific Borrower, (B) the stated amount of the

the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall be a Business
Day and no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the then existing
Revolving Credit Termination Date), (E) the Person for whose benefit such Letter
of Credit is to be issued, (F) all other relevant terms of such Letter of
Credit, (G) the Current Availability at such time, and (H) the amount of the

         (d) REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS. (i) Notwithstanding any provisions to
any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement:

                           (A) provided that no Event of Default shall be
                  continuing hereunder and provided that there is then unfunded
                  availability hereunder, the Lender shall make Loan advances to
                  repay amounts drawn under such Letter of Credit, or if either
                  of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, the Borrowers'
                  Representative shall reimburse the Lender for amounts drawn
                  under such Letter of Credit, in Dollars, no later than the
                  date (the "REIMBURSEMENT DATE") which is the 10 Business Days
                  after the Borrowers' Representative receives written notice
                  from the Lender that payment has been made under such Letter
                  of Credit; and

                           (B) all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any
                  Letter of Credit shall bear interest at the rate applicable to
                  Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.7(a) from the
                  date of the relevant drawing under such Letter of Credit until
                  the Reimbursement Date and thereafter at the rate applicable
                  to Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.7(c).

                  (ii) No action taken or omitted in good faith by Lender under
or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall put Lender under any resulting
liability to any Borrower.

                  (iii) If requested, an Issuing Bank shall furnish to the
Lender and each Lender, copies of any Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit
Reimbursement Agreement, and related amendment to which such Issuing Bank is
party and such other documentation as may be requested by Lender or such Lender.

                  (iv) The obligations Borrower to make payments to the Lender
with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to
any qualification or exception whatsoever except willful misconduct or gross
negligence of Lender, and shall be honored in accordance with this entire
Section 3 (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions described in
Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable) under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, any of the following circumstances:



                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>   33
                           (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
                  Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

                           (B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or
                  other right which any Borrower may have at any time against a
                  beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a
                  beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for
                  whom any such transferee may be acting), the Lender, or any
                  other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any
                  Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any
                  unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions
                  between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter
                  of Credit);

                           (C) any draft, certificate or any other document
                  presented under the Letter of Credit having been determined to
                  be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
                  or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
                  respect;

                           (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for
                  the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of
                  the Loan Documents; or

                           (E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of
                  Default.

         (f) PAYMENT OF REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS. Unless paid with a Loan
advance hereunder, each Borrower unconditionally agrees, on a joint and several
basis, to pay to Lender, in Dollars, the amount of all Reimbursement
Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to Lender under or in connection
with the Letters of Credit when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective
of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any
time against Lender or any other Person.

         (g) LENDER'S CHARGES. Borrowers' Representative shall pay to Lender,
solely for its own account, the standard administrative charges assessed by
Lender (not to exceed $500 each) in connection with the issuance,
administration, amendment and payment or cancellation of Letters of Credit and
such compensation in respect of such Letters of Credit for the Borrowers'
Representative's account as may be agreed upon by the Borrowers' Representative
and Lender from time to time.

         (h) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

         (i) INDEMNIFICATION; EXONERATION. (a) In addition to all other amounts
payable to Lender, each Borrower hereby agrees to defend (by counsel selected by
Borrowers' Representative and reasonably acceptable to Lender), indemnify, and
save the Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, penalties, damages, losses (other than loss of profits), costs,
charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees but excluding


                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>   34
taxes) which the Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than as a result of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) the failure of the Lender to honor a
drawing under such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether
rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or
Governmental Authority.

                  (b) As between each Borrower on the one hand and the Lender on
the other hand, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or
misuse of Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Letters of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the
provisions of the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreements, the Lender shall
not be responsible, for: (A) the form, validity, legality, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in
connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even
if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity, legality or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
(C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to duly comply with
conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; provided,
however that with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing subclause (C)
shall not relieve the Lender of any liability it may have to any Borrower for
any actual damages sustained by such Borrower arising from a wrongful payment
under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Lender's gross negligence or
willful misconduct; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of
technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of
the proceeds thereof (other than anything for which Lender would be liable under
clause (C)); (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of
the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit.

         (j) EXISTING LETTERS OF CREDIT. Two Letters of Credit aggregating
approximately $3,200,000 are currently outstanding on behalf of the Borrowers'
Representative under the Fleet Revolving Loan. Such Letters of Credit shall be
transferred to and deemed to be issued under this Agreement as of the Closing
Date.

         SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         In order to induce the Lender and each Lender to enter into this
Agreement and to make the Loans herein provided for, each Borrower on behalf of
itself and each Guarantor hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Lender
and each Lender that:

         4.1. FINANCIAL CONDITION The consolidated balance sheet of Lexington as
of December 31, 1999 and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, certified by KPMG LLP,
copies of which have heretofore


                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>   35
been furnished to Lender, are complete and correct and present fairly the
financial condition and performance of Lexington as at such dates and fiscal
periods. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Lexington as of 9/30/00 and
the related unaudited statements of income, for the three month period ended on
9/30/00 certified by a Responsible Officer, copies of which have heretofore been
furnished to Lender, are complete and correct and present fairly the financial
condition of Lexington as at such date, and the stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the three month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit
adjustment). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and
notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently
throughout the periods involved (except for changes in GAAP compliance methods
as approved by such accountants or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, and
as disclosed therein). Lexington does not have any material Contingent
Obligation, contingent liabilities or liability for taxes, long-term leases or
unusual forward or long-term commitment, which is not reflected in the foregoing
statements or in the notes thereto. Lexington has previously delivered to Lender
copies of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 1999 filed
with the Commission.

         4.2. NO MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. Since the date of the most recent
financial statements delivered to Lender there has been no Material Adverse
Effect, and no event has occurred and no condition exists which could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Borrower or Guarantor.

         4.3. EXISTENCE; BORROWER'S AND GUARANTOR'S COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
Lexington is a trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Maryland. Each Borrower and Guarantor is duly organized
and validly existing in its jurisdiction of organization. Each Borrower and
Guarantor (a) has full power and authority and the legal right to own and lease
its property and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (b)
is duly qualified or licensed and is in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its
business require such qualification, and (c) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith
is not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         4.4. POWER; AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS. Each Borrower and
Guarantor has the power and authority and the legal right to execute, deliver
and perform each of the Loan Documents and to borrow hereunder and has taken all
necessary action to authorize the borrowings hereunder on the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents and to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of each of the Loan Documents. No consent or authorization of,
filing with, or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority is
required to be made or obtained by the Borrowers or Guarantors in connection
with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance,
validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents. The Agreement has been, and
each Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each
Borrower and Guarantor and this Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan
Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Borrower and Guarantor enforceable against such Borrower and


                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>   36
Guarantor in accordance with its terms subject to the effect of bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency and similar laws and general principles of equity.

         4.5. NO LEGAL BAR. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowing hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof, will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual
Obligation of any Borrower or Guarantor and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or revenues pursuant
to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation other than the Liens for the
benefit of Lender expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the Security
Documents.

         4.6. NO MATERIAL LITIGATION. No litigation, investigation or proceeding
of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the best
knowledge and belief of each Borrower and Guarantor, threatened against any
Borrower or Guarantor or against any of its properties or revenues (a) with
respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Leases, or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) relating to the Properties,
or the ownership or the operation thereof or the conduct of business thereon as
presently conducted, which, in the case of (a) or (b), is reasonably likely to
have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         4.7. NO DEFAULT. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

         4.8. OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY; LIENS.

                  (a) Schedule 1 accurately sets forth the ownership of each
Unencumbered Eligible Property. Each Borrower and Guarantor that is shown by
Schedule 1 to be the owner of an Unencumbered Eligible Property is the sole
owner of such Unencumbered Eligible Property and has a good record, marketable
and indefeasible Fee Interest or a valid Leasehold Interest in such Unencumbered
Eligible Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens and other matters
affecting title except for Permitted Exceptions and Customary Permitted Liens.

                  (b) To the best of each Borrower's and Guarantor's knowledge,
the Buildings located on each Unencumbered Eligible Property are in good
operating condition and repair, free of any structural or engineering defects
known to any Borrower or Guarantor on the date hereof and are suitable for their
present uses, subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to
have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (c) To the best of each Borrower's and Guarantor's knowledge,
all water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone and other utilities serving each
Unencumbered Eligible Property are supplied directly to such Unencumbered
Eligible Property by public utilities and enter such Unencumbered Eligible
Property through adjoining public streets or, if they pass through adjoining
private land, do so in accordance with valid public easements which inure to
Borrower's or Guarantor's benefit subject to such exceptions which are not
reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All of
such utilities are presently installed and operating and are in good and safe
condition, subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably


                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>   37
likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All assessments for
public improvements that have been made against the Unencumbered Eligible
Properties have been paid or provided for, except that in the case of any
assessments that are payable in installments, all installments due as of the
date hereof have been paid or provided for, subject to such exceptions which are
not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (d) No Borrower or Guarantor has received notice of any
pending, threatened or contemplated condemnation proceeding or similar taking
affecting any of the Unencumbered Eligible Properties, or any portion thereof,
or any sale or other disposition of any of the Unencumbered Eligible Properties
or any portion thereof in lieu of condemnation or similar taking, in each case,
subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (e) All Permits from all Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction over any Unencumbered Eligible Property or any portion thereof, the
absence of which could impair the use of any Unencumbered Eligible Property for
the purposes for which it is currently used have been issued and are in full
force and effect, subject to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to
have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower or Guarantor has
received or been informed by a third party, of the receipt by it of any notice
from any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any of the Unencumbered
Eligible Properties or any portion thereof or from any insurance company or fire
rating or similar board or organization threatening a suspension, revocation,
modification or cancellation of any Permit, subject to such exceptions which are
not reasonably likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (f) A true, correct and complete copy of each Approved Lease
and a true, correct and complete copy of any Financeable Ground Lease identified
on Exhibit G and has been delivered to Lender. The Approved Leases (and any
subleases permitted thereunder) constitute the sole and complete agreements and
understandings relating to leasing or licensing of space in the Buildings or
otherwise at such Unencumbered Eligible Properties. There are no occupancies,
rights, privileges or licenses in or to the Buildings or any other part of the
Unencumbered Eligible Properties other than pursuant to the Approved Leases,
Financeable Ground Leases or pursuant to Permitted Exceptions. Except as set
forth in Exhibit G, the Approved Leases and Financeable Ground Leases are in
full force and effect, in accordance with their respective terms, without any
payment default or any other material default thereunder beyond applicable grace
periods, nor to the best of each Borrower's or Guarantor's knowledge are there
any defenses, counterclaims, offsets, concessions or rebates available to any
tenant thereunder except as may be provided in the Approved Leases, and the
landlord has not given or made, or received, any notice of default, or any
claim, which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with respect to any of the Approved
Leases or Financeable Ground Leases and, to the best of each Borrower's or
Guarantor's knowledge there is no basis for any such claim or notice of default
by any tenant which would have a Material Adverse Effect. No tenant has paid
more than one month's rent in advance except for any security deposits. Except
as set forth on the rent roll, all tenants under all Approved Leases are in
occupancy and operating the premises covered


                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>   38
by Approved Leases within the permitted uses under such Approved Leases. No
Borrower or Guarantor has mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered any of the
Approved Leases or any Financeable Ground Lease except for Permitted Exceptions
or Customary Permitted Liens.

         4.9. TAXES. Each Borrower and Guarantor has filed or caused to be filed
all tax returns which to the best knowledge and belief of each Borrower are
required to be filed, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be
due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of
its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of
its property by any Governmental Authority (other than Customary Permitted Liens
and those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in
conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of each).

         4.10. FEDERAL REGULATIONS. No Borrower or Guarantor is engaged and will
not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business
of extending credit for the purpose of "PURCHASING" or "CARRYING" any "MARGIN
STOCK" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under
Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and
from time to time hereafter in effect. No part of the proceeds of the Loans
hereunder will be used for "PURCHASING" or "CARRYING" "MARGIN STOCK" as so
defined or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with,
the provisions of the Regulations of such Board of Governors. If requested by
Lender, each Borrower will furnish to Lender a statement in conformity with the
requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U to the
foregoing effect.

         4.11. ERISA. No Borrower or Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains
or contributes to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan other than those listed on
Exhibit K hereto. Each such Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as currently in effect has been determined
by the IRS to be so qualified, and each trust related to any such Plan has been
determined to be exempt from federal income tax Section 501(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code as currently in effect. Except as disclosed in Exhibit K, no
Borrower or Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to any
employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA. Each
Borrower or Guarantor and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material
respects with the responsibilities, obligations and duties imposed on it by
ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder with
respect to all Plans. No Benefit Plan has incurred any accumulated funding
deficiency (as defined in Sections 302 (a) (2) of ERISA and 412 (a) of the
Internal Revenue Code) whether or not waived. No Borrower or Guarantor nor any
ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Plan which is not a Multiemployer Plan
(i) has engaged in an nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Sections 406
of ERISA or 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) has taken or failed to
take any action which would constitute or result in a Termination Event. Neither
the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is subject to any liability under Sections
4063, 4064, 4069, 4204 or 4212 (c) or ERISA. No Borrower or Guarantor nor any
ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding

suspected to be


                                      -40-
<PAGE>   49
present in the air, soil, surface water or groundwater at the Real Property
before the date of this Agreement, or (B) Hazardous Material that migrates,
flows, percolates, diffuses or in any way moves onto or under or from the Real
Property, or (C) Hazardous Material present at the Real Property as a result of
any release, discharge, disposal, dumping, spilling or leaking (accidental or
otherwise) (any of the foregoing, a "RELEASE") onto or from the Property before
or after the date of this Agreement by any Person; provided, however, that the
indemnification provided by this Section shall not include claims to the extent
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any party seeking
indemnification. The indemnification provided in this Section 6.11 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Borrower shall
have any liability under the foregoing indemnity in connection with any Release
of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about any Property which occurs after
the date of any transfer of the Property to Lender, or its designee or any other
Person(s), by foreclosure deed-in-lieu thereof or otherwise which was not
present on the Property prior to such date.

            (b)   RESPONSE ACTIONS. Each Borrower and Guarantor covenants and
agrees that if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Material shall occur or
shall have occurred on any Real Property owned by it, such Borrower or Guarantor
will cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Material and
remediation of such Real Property as necessary to comply with all Environmental
Laws or to preserve the value of such Real Property.

            (c)   ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS. If Lender has reasonable grounds to
believe that an adverse environmental event which could have a Material Adverse
Effect has occurred with respect to any Unencumbered Eligible Property, after
reasonable notice by the Lender, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default
shall have occurred, the Lender may determine that the affected Unencumbered
Eligible Property no longer qualifies as an Unencumbered Eligible Property;
provided that prior to making such determination, the Lender shall give the
Borrowers' Representative (i) reasonable notice and the opportunity to obtain
one or more environmental assessments or audits of such Unencumbered Eligible
Property prepared by a hydrogeologist, an independent engineer or other
qualified consultant or expert approved by the Lender, which approval will not
be unreasonably withheld, to evaluate or confirm (A) whether any Release of
Hazardous Materials has occurred in the soil or water at such Unencumbered
Eligible Property and (B) whether the use and operation of such Unencumbered
Eligible Property materially complies with all Environmental Laws (including not
being subject to a matter that is a material environmental event) and (ii) if
such assessments or audits discloses that a Release has occurred, a reasonable
period to clean up or remediate such condition in accordance with applicable
Environmental Laws unless such Release could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on the operation, value or financeability of such
Property, in which event the consent of the Lender must be obtained. Such
assessments and audits will then be used by the Lender to determine whether a
Material Adverse Effect has in fact occurred with respect to such Unencumbered
Eligible Property. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost
and expense of the Borrowers.

      6.12. CHANGES IN GAAP. In the event of a change in GAAP which would cause
the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.1 to provide less protection to
Lender or be more


                                      -41-
<PAGE>   50
restrictive for the Borrowers than presently provided for hereunder, cause such
financial covenants to be reset, in good faith, by Lender and the Borrowers to
maintain the protection to each Lender equivalent to that in place prior to such
change and Lender and each Borrower shall execute one or more amendments to this
Agreement to effect such reset.

      6.13. NYSE LISTING. Cause Lexington at all times to keep its common stock
duly listed on the NYSE and to file all reports on a timely basis required by
the NYSE.

      6.14. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

      6.15. MANAGEMENT OF BORROWER AND UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. Insure
that the management of Lexington shall be self-directed and self-administered.

      6.16. SUBORDINATION OF PAYABLES TO AFFILIATES. After the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or Event of Default, make no payments on any loans owed
by any Borrower or Guarantor to any Affiliate or Subsidiary and all such amounts
shall be fully subordinated to the Loans pursuant to the terms of an agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender.

      6.17. SUBORDINATED DEBT. Not amend, modify or obtain a waiver of any
provision of any document or instrument evidencing or relating to subordinated
indebtedness (including, but not limited to the $25,000,000 of exchangeable
notes issued by LCIF in March, 1997) which would move up the maturity date on
such subordinated indebtedness prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date or
otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on the Lender, or purchase, redeem
(except redemptions made in connection with the conversion of any subordinate
indebtedness to preferred stock or common stock pursuant to the terms of the
documentation evidencing such subordinated indebtedness), retire or otherwise
acquire or make any payment or prepayment of the principal of or any other
amount owing in respect of any subordinated indebtedness except for payments
(but not prepayments) permitted or required under the present provisions of the
documentation evidencing the subordinated indebtedness (without amendment) and
redemptions of the exchangeable notes and prepayments made with proceeds of the
Loans, or incur subordinated indebtedness after the Closing Date, without the
prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld
under the provisions of documentation approved by the Lender.

      6.18. ERISA NOTICES. Deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender, at
such Borrower's expense, the following information and notices as soon as
reasonably possible, and in any event:

relating to any non-recourse Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or
agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall
occur, the effect of which default beyond applicable grace periods or other
event is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders non-recourse Indebtedness
of such Borrower individually or together with defaults beyond applicable grace
periods of other Borrowers to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such
Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity.

         SECTION 9. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

         SECTION 10. GENERAL

         10.1. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Unless otherwise provided for or required
in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective without the
written agreement of the Lender and the Borrowers' Representative. No
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Borrower or Guarantor
therefrom, shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender,
which Lender shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion.
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 any
Borrower or Guarantor in any specific instance shall entitle such Borrower or
Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

         10.2 MARSHALING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. Lender shall not be under any
obligation to marshall any assets in favor of any Borrower or Guarantor or any
other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the
extent that such Borrower or Guarantor makes a payment or payments to the Lender
or any such Person exercise 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
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the
extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

         10.3 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS; INCONSISTENCIES. This Agreement and
any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in
counterparts, each of


                                      -52-
<PAGE>   61

which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This
Agreement shall become effective against each Borrower and Lender on the Closing
Date. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to
the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent
that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with
the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall
govern.

         10.4 DISCLAIMER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be liable to any
contractor, subcontractor, supplier, laborer, architect, engineer, tenant or
other party for services performed or materials supplied in connection with any
work performed on any of the Properties. Lender shall not be liable for any
debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against any Borrower or
Guarantor or others or against any of the Properties. No Borrower is nor shall
be an Lender of the Lender for any purposes and the Lender, shall not be deemed
a partner or joint venturer with any Borrower or Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries. Lender shall not be deemed to be in privity of
contract with any contractor or provider of services to any of the Properties,
nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor or subcontractor or
provider of services be deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or
recognition of same by Lender and each of the Borrowers agree to hold the Lender
harmless from any of the damages and expenses resulting from such a construction
of the relationship of the parties or any assertion thereof.

         10.5 NOTICES; CERTAIN PAYMENTS. (a) All notices, consents and other

Lender may by written notice to Borrowers' Representative specify or change its
account and address for payment instructions hereunder.

         10.6 NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT; HEADINGS. No
action, failure, delay or omission by Lender in exercising any rights and
remedies under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, or
otherwise, shall constitute a waiver of, or impair, any of the rights or
privileges of Lender hereunder or thereunder. No single or partial exercise of
any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercises of any other right or remedy. Such rights and remedies are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law or
otherwise available, including, but not limited to, rights to specific
performance (to the extent permitted by law) or any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. No waiver of any such
right or remedy shall be effective unless given in writing or as otherwise
provided in Section 10.2. No waiver of any such right or remedy shall be deemed
a waiver of any other right or remedy hereunder or thereunder. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, every right and remedy given
by this Agreement or by applicable law to Lender may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender. This Agreement, Note and
the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no verbal agreements
relating hereto or thereto. Section headings herein shall have no legal effect.
This Agreement, Note and the other Loan Documents (including all covenants,
representations, warranties, privileges, rights, and remedies made or granted
herein or therein) shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by Lender
or any Lender and its respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrowers may not directly or indirectly
assign or transfer (whether by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise) any
of their rights or obligations and liabilities hereunder without the prior
written consent of Lender affected thereby. Subject to the provisions of Section
10.1, Lender may make, carry or transfer the Loans at, to or for the account of,
any of its branch offices or the office of one or more of its Affiliates.

         10.7 SURVIVAL. The obligations of each Borrower under Sections 2.13,
2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 6.11, 10.11 and 10.13 (and all other indemnification and
expense reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Agreement) shall
survive the repayment of the Loans and the cancellation of the Notes and the
termination of the other obligations of such Borrower hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents for a period of three (3) years after the date of such
payment, except in the case of Section 6.11 and any other indemnification
obligations which shall survive for a period of five (5) years; provided,
however, that the Borrowers shall not be liable for any liability, claim, loss,
cost or expense arising from any act or omission of any Lender or other
indemnified party after the transfer of any Property by foreclosure,
deed-in-lieu thereof or otherwise which doesn't arise from or deal with
pre-existing conditions. The receipt by Borrowers' Representative, prior to the
expiration of the above three (3) and five (5) year limitation periods, of a
notice, in good faith, of any liability, claim, loss, cost or expense arising
from the obligations of Borrowers referenced above shall toll the running of the
above limitation periods with regard to such liability, claim, loss, cost or
expense.

indemnify each Borrower from any liability, claim or loss arising by reason of
claims for any brokerage commission made by any Person claiming to have dealt

survive the


                                      -55-
<PAGE>   64

repayment of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the
possibility of such liability (including attorneys' fees), claim or loss exists.

         10.11 CONFIDENTIALITY. Subject to Section 10.11, Lender shall hold all
confidential information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement
in accordance with such party's customary procedures for handling confidential
information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking

Security Documents, and the other documents being executed in connection
herewith express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated thereby. No modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, the Note, or any related documents nor consent to any departure
by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be in writing, and then such waiver of consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. No notice to, or demand
on any Borrower, in any case, shall entitle such Borrower to any other or future
notice of demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

         10.16 DELAY NOT WAIVER. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part
of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under the

waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.

<PAGE>   65

without demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by each
Borrower), Lender may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to
any liability or obligation of such Borrower and any Guarantor even though
unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the
Loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS TO REMEDIES
WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING
ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF
BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY
WAIVED.

this Agreement or any such related document shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

from time to tie, and without the consent of or notice of any Borrower or any
Guarantor, to grant to one or more Lenders or other financial institutions
(each, a "Participant") participating interests in Lender's obligation to lend
hereunder and/or any or all of the loans held by Lender hereunder. In the event
of such grant by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or
not upon notice to Borrowers, Lender shall remain responsible for the
performance of its obligations hereunder and Borrowers shall remain responsible
for the performance of its obligations hereunder and Borrowers shall continue to
deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender's rights and
obligations hereunder. Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrowers
in its possession from time to time to prospective Participants, provided that

                  10.19.2 LENDER'S RIGHT TO SELL A LOAN TO A THIRD PARTY. Lender
shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time and without
any Borrower's or any Guarantor's consent, to assign all or any portion of its
rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Lenders or other financial
institutions (each, an "Assignee"), and each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees
that it shall execute, or cause to be executed, such documents, including
without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any other documents,
instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith as Lender shall deem
necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of Lender and any
such Assignee, each Borrower shall issue one or more promissory notes, as
applicable, to any such Assignee and, if Lender has retained any of its rights
and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to Lender, which new
promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of but not in discharge of, the
liability evidenced by the promissory note held by Lender and loans held by such
Assignee and Lender after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution
and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments and any other
documentation required by Lender in

price agreed to by Lender, and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to
this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of Lender
hereunder (and under any and all other guaranties, documents, instruments and
agreements executed in connection herewith) to the extent that such rights and
obligations have been assigned by Lender pursuant to the assignment
documentation between Lender and such Assignee, and Lender shall be released
from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent. Lender
may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession from time to
time to prospective Assignees, provided that Lender shall require any such
prospective Assignees to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of
such information.

                  10.19.3 LENDER'S RIGHT TO PLEDGE. Lender may at any time

an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the
Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case
of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Note or other Loan Document, each Borrower will issue, in
lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan Document in the same principal
amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

         10.21 CLAIMS AGAINST LENDER.

                  10.21.1 BORROWERS MUST NOTIFY. Lender shall not be in default
under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written notice

of the occurrence of the event which such Borrower alleges gave rise to such
claim and Lender do not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, with
reasonable promptness thereafter.

court of competent jurisdiction, which is not subject to further appeal, that
Lender has breached any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and has not
remedied or cured the same with reasonable promptness following notice thereof,
Lender's responsibilities shall be limited to: (i) where the breach consists of
the failure to grant consent or give approval in violation of the terms and
requirements of a Loan Document, the obligation to grant such consent or give
such approval and to pay such Borrower's reasonable costs and expenses
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements in
connection with such court proceedings; and (ii) the case of any such failure to
grant such consent or give such approval, or in the case of any other such
default by Lender, where it is also so determined that Lender acted in bad
faith, the payment of any actual, direct, compensatory damages sustained by such
Borrower as a result thereof plus

any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the Loan. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection that such Borrower may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such court is an
inconvenient forum. Each Borrower hereby agrees and consents that, in addition
to any methods of service or process provided for under applicable law, all
service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any court sitting
in the State of New York may be made by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, directed to Borrowers' Representative at its address for
notice stated in the Loan Documents, or at a subsequent address of which Lender
received actual notice from Borrowers' Representative in accordance with the
Loan Documents, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the
same shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender
to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of Lender to
bring proceedings against any Borrower in any other court or jurisdiction.

         10.26 JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

         EACH BORROWER AND LENDER MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED
HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE
OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTION OF LENDER RELATING TO THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT
NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH
A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW,


                                      -59-
<PAGE>   68

EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY
LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY
DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH BORROWER CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER
TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOAN.

         10.27 USE OF PROCEEDS (REGULATION U). No portion of the proceeds of the
loan shall be used, in whole or in part, for the purpose of the purchasing or
carrying any "margin stock" as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

         10.28 INTEGRATION. This Agreement is intended by the parties as the
final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by this
Agreement. All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and understandings,
whether oral or written, are deemed to be superceded by this Agreement, and no
party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in
this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by Borrower
and Lender.

         SECTION 11. THE BORROWERS' REPRESENTATIVE

         11.1. APPOINTMENT OF BORROWERS' REPRESENTATIVE.

                  (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
Lexington (sometimes referred to in this Agreement as Borrowers'
Representative), as its agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents and
the other documents or instruments delivered pursuant to or in connection
herewith or therewith and each Borrower hereby authorizes Lexington, for such
Borrower, to take such action on behalf of such Borrower under the provisions of
the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to Lexington or Borrowers' Representative by the terms of
the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

                  (b) Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
Borrowers' Representative in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts
selected by Borrowers' Representative in connection with the Loan Documents.
