loans, in Dollars (each individually, a "Loan" and, collectively, the "LOANS")
to the Borrower as of the Initial Funding Date, in an amount not to exceed such

proportionately to their then respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood
that no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to
perform its obligation to make a Loan hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any

                                       31
<Page>

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may repay any
outstanding Loan on any day which is a Business Day and any amounts so repaid
may not be reborrowed.

          (b) NOTICE OF BORROWING. The Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing, signed by it no later than 12:00
noon (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Initial
Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Such Notice
of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Closing Date (which shall be a
Business Day), (ii) whether the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the requested
Eurodollar Interest Period, and (iv) instructions for the disbursement of the
proceeds of the proposed Borrowing. The Notice of Borrowing given pursuant to
this SECTION 2.1(b) shall be irrevocable.

          (c) MAKING OF LOANS. (i) Promptly after receipt of the Notice of
Borrowing under SECTION 2.1(b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of transmission, of the
proposed Borrowing (which notice to the Lenders, in the case of a Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall be at least three (3) Business Days in advance of
the Initial Funding Date). Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of the Borrowing requested by the Borrower with the Administrative
Agent at its office in New York, New York, in immediately available funds, not
later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Initial Funding Date. Subject to
the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 6.1 or
SECTION 6.2, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of
such amounts received by it available to the Borrower at the Administrative
Agent's office in New York, New York on the Initial Funding Date (or on the date
received if later than the Initial Funding Date) and shall disburse such
proceeds in accordance with the Borrower's disbursement instructions set forth
in the Notice of Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount
described above with the Administrative Agent on the Initial Funding Date shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Loan on
the Initial Funding Date. In the event the conditions precedent set forth in
SECTION 6.1 or 6.2 are not fulfilled

                                       32

as of the Initial Funding Date for the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly return, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the
amount deposited by each Lender to such Lender.

          (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender on the Business Day immediately preceding the Initial Funding Date that
such Lender does not intend to fund its Loan requested to be made on the Initial
Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has funded
its Loan and is depositing the proceeds thereof with the Administrative Agent on
the Initial Funding Date, and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion
may, but shall not be obligated to, disburse a corresponding amount to the
Borrower on the Initial Funding Date. If the Loan proceeds corresponding to that
amount are advanced to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent but are not in
fact deposited with the Administrative Agent by such Lender on or prior to the
Initial Funding Date, such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition the Borrower
agrees to repay, to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is disbursed to or for the benefit of the Borrower until the date
such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate
applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent the corresponding amount, the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender's Loan, and if both such Lender and the Borrower shall pay and repay such
corresponding amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
Borrower such corresponding amount. This SECTION 2.1(c)(ii) does not relieve any
Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on the Funding Date.

          2.2. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

          2.3. USE OF PROCEEDS OF LOANS. The proceeds of the Loans issued for

Administrative Agent 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 conversion/continuation, the Administrative Agent 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 the Borrower. None of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
shall incur any liability to the Borrower or any other Person in acting upon any
telephonic or facsimile notice referred to above which the Administrative Agent
believes to have been given by a person duly authorized to act on behalf of the
Borrower and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the
Administrative Agent and each

other Lender from any loss or expense the Administrative Agent or the Lenders

amounts thereafter repaid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and
otherwise required to be applied to such Lender's share of all other Obligations
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender to cure, in full or in part, such
failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to
such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary:

          (A) the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 4.2(b)(v) shall apply
     only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations and shall not
     affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to SECTION 5.1(c);

          (B) a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro
     Rata Share of any Loan at such time as an amount equal to such Lender's
     original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal

                                       40
<Page>

     portion of such Loan is fully funded to the Borrower, whether made by such
     Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this SECTION 4.2(b)(v), and
     whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid,
     converted or continued;

          (C) amounts advanced to the Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any
     such Lender's failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan ("CURE
     LOANS") shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time,
     and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they
     were Base Rate Loans; and

          (D) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or
     is continuing, and not-withstanding the instructions of the Borrower as to
     its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance
     with the other terms of this SECTION 4.2, would be applied to the
     outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be applied FIRST, ratably to all Base
     Rate Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, SECOND, ratably to Base Rate
     Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and,
     THIRD, ratably to Base Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans.

          (c) PAYMENTS ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be made by
the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes 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 5.2(b)(iii), the next preceding
Business Day).

          4.3. PROMISE TO REPAY; EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS.

          (a) PROMISE TO REPAY. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay when due the
principal amount of each Loan which is made to it, and further agrees to pay all
unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender on the
Closing Date, a promissory note, in form and substance acceptable to the
Administrative Agent

                                       41
<Page>

and such Lender, evidencing the Loans and thereafter shall execute and deliver
such other promissory notes as are necessary to evidence the Loans owing to the
Lenders after giving effect to any assignment thereof pursuant to SECTION 15.1,
all in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
parties to such assignment (all such promissory notes and all amendments
thereto, replacements thereof and substitutions therefor being collectively
referred to as the "NOTES"; and "NOTE" means any one of the Notes).

          (b) LOAN ACCOUNT. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice an account or accounts (a "LOAN ACCOUNT") evidencing the
Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to
such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under the Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by any Lender to maintain a Loan
Account shall in no way affect the Borrower's obligations hereunder, including,
without limitation, the obligation to repay the Obligations.

          (c) CONTROL ACCOUNT. The Register maintained by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to SECTION 15.1(c) shall include a control account, and a
subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be
recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the type of
Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Eurodollar Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes and (iv) the amount of any
sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each
Lender's share thereof.

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

          (e) NO RECOURSE TO LIMITED PARTNERS OR GENERAL PARTNERS.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this

                                       42
<Page>

Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing
herein or in the Notes shall be construed as creating any liability on any
Limited Partner, any General Partner, or any partner, officer, shareholder or
director of any Limited Partner or any General Partner, to pay any of the
Obligations other than liability arising from or in connection with (i) fraud or
(ii) the misappropriation or misapplication of proceeds of the Loans; but
nothing contained in this SECTION 4.3(e) shall be construed to prevent the
exercise of any remedy allowed to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by law
or by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which does not
relate to or result in such an obligation by any Limited Partner or any General
Partner (or any partner, officer, shareholder or director of any Limited Partner
or any General Partner) to pay money.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                INTEREST AND FEES

          5.1. INTEREST ON THE LOANS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS.

          (a) RATE OF INTEREST. 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, except as otherwise provided in SECTION 5.1(d), as
follows:

          (i) If a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum
     equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as
     interest accrues, PLUS (B) the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans;
     and

          (ii) If a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum
     of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Eurodollar
     Interest Period, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate
     Loans.

The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall be
selected by the Borrower at the time the

                                       43
<Page>

Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, the Borrower may not
select the Eurodollar Rate as the applicable basis for determining the rate of
interest on such a Loan if at the time of such selection an Event of Default or
a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing and
FURTHER PROVIDED THAT, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a
Potential Event of Default, each Eurodollar Rate Loan then outstanding may, at
the Administrative Agent's option, convert to a Base Rate Loan. If on any day
any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely
delivered to the Administrative Agent 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 Loan shall be determined by reference to the
Base Rate.

          (b) INTEREST PAYMENTS. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be
calculated on the last day of each calendar month and shall be payable in
arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first
such day following the making of such Loan, and (B) if not theretofore paid in
full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan.

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

          (c) CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION. (i) The Borrower shall have the
option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Base Rate Loans
to Eurodollar Rate Loans; (B) to convert all or any part of outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest Periods which expire on the
same date to Base Rate Loans on such expiration date; (C) to continue all or any
part of out-standing Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest

                                       44
<Page>

Periods which expire on the same date as Eurodollar Rate Loans, and the
succeeding Eurodollar Interest Period of such continued Loans shall commence on
such expiration date; provided, HOWEVER, no such outstanding Loan may be
continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (i) if the
continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of
SECTION 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would
occur or has occurred and is continuing. Any conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans under this SECTION 5.1(c) shall be in a minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount,
except in the case of a conversion into or a continuation of an entire Borrowing
of Non Pro Rata Loans.

          (ii) To convert or continue a Loan under SECTION 5.1(c)(i), the
Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation to the
Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3)
Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date. A Notice
of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (A) the proposed
conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the principal
amount of the Loan to be converted/continued, (C) whether such Loan shall be
converted and/or continued, and (D) in the case of a conversion to, or
continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Eurodollar Interest
Period. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Borrower
may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed
conversion/continuation by the time required under this SECTION 5.1(c)(ii), if
the Borrower confirms such notice by delivery of the Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission
promptly, but in no event later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day.
Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation under this
SECTION 5.1(c)(ii) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form
of transmission, of the proposed conversion/ continuation. Any Notice of
Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Loan (or
telephonic notice in lieu thereof) given pursuant to this SECTION 5.1(c)(ii)
shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in
accordance therewith. In

                                       45
<Page>

the event no Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered as and when
specified in this SECTION 5.1(c)(ii) with respect to outstanding Eurodollar
Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such
Loans shall automatically be continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans with a
Eurodollar Interest Period of thirty (30) days; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no such
outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate
Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of
the provisions of SECTION 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or a Potential
Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing.

          (d) DEFAULT INTEREST. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified
in SECTION 5.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, effective immediately upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of
Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and other
Obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate,
as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, PLUS (B) four percent (4.0%)
per annum.

          (e) COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on all Obligations shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during
which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest on any
Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of a Eurodollar
Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment
or the expiration date of a Eurodollar 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.

          (f) EURODOLLAR RATE INFORMATION. Upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to
the Borrower such information with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate as
may be so requested.

                                       46

          5.2. SPECIAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.

          (a) AMOUNT OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. Each Euro-dollar Rate Loan shall
be in a minimum principal amount of $1,500,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess of that amount.

          (b) DETERMINATION OF EURODOLLAR INTEREST PERIOD. By giving notice as
set forth in SECTION 2.1(b) (with respect to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate
Loans), or SECTION 5.1(c) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the other
provisions of this SECTION 5.2, to select an interest period (each, an "INTEREST
PERIOD") to apply to the Loans described in such notice, subject to the
following provisions:

          (i) The Borrower may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of
     Eurodollar Rate Loans, an Interest Period (each, a "EURODOLLAR INTEREST
     PERIOD") of one, two, three or six months in duration or, with the prior
     written consent of the Administrative Agent, a shorter or a longer
     duration

          (ii) In the case of immediately successive Eurodollar Interest Periods
     applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, each successive
     Eurodollar Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next
     preceding Eurodollar Interest Period expires;

          (iii) If any Eurodollar Interest Period would otherwise expire on a
     day which is not a Business Day, such Eurodollar Interest Period shall be
     extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day if the next
     succeeding Business Day occurs in the same calendar month, and if there
     will be no succeeding Business Day in such calendar month, the Eurodollar
     Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

          (iv) The Borrower may not select an Interest Period as to any Loan if
     such Interest Period terminates later than the Termination Date;

                                       47
<Page>

          (v) The Borrower may not select an Interest Period with respect to any
     portion of principal of a Loan which extends beyond a date on which the
     Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of
     principal; and

          (vi) There shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect
     at any one time with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

          (c) DETERMINATION OF EURODOLLAR INTEREST RATE. As soon as practicable
on the second Business Day prior to the first day of each Eurodollar Interest
Period (the "EURO-DOLLAR INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION DATE"), the Administrative
Agent shall determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of
"Eurodollar Rate") the interest rate which shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate
Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable
Eurodollar Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or
by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to each Lender. The
Administrative Agent's determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent
manifest error, and shall be binding upon the Borrower.

          (d) INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE, INADEQUATE OR UNFAIR. In the event
that at least one (1) Business Day before a Eurodollar Interest Rate
Determination Date:

          (i) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Reference Bank that
     deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered by
     the Reference Bank in the London interbank market for such Eurodollar
     Interest Period; or

          (ii) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means
     do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference
     to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or

          (iii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the
     Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising such Borrowing

                                       48
<Page>

     will not adequately reflect the cost to such Requisite Lenders of
     obtaining funds in Dollars in the London interbank market in the amount
     substantially equal to such Lenders' Eurodollar Rate Loans in Dollars and
     for a period equal to such Eurodollar Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
Borrower, whereupon (until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist) the right of
the Borrower to elect to have Loans bear interest based upon the Eurodollar Rate
shall be suspended and each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted
into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor, notwithstanding any prior election by the Borrower to the contrary.


          (e) ILLEGALITY. (i) If at any time any Lender determines (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties) that the making or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan
has become unlawful or impermissible by compliance by that Lender with any law,
governmental rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority (whether or
not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would
be unlawful or would result in costs or penalties), then, and in any such event,
such Lender may give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit the notice to each other Lender.

          (ii) When notice is given by a Lender under SECTION 5.2(e)(i), (A) the
Borrower's right to request from such Lender and such Lender's obligation, if
any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended, and such
Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then
outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law,
no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one (1) Business Day's
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender,
convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

                                       49
<Page>

          (iii) If at any time after a Lender gives notice under SECTION
5.2(e)(i) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate
Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination, in writing,
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower's right to
request, and such Lender's obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall thereupon be restored.

          (f) COMPENSATION. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by
the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 5.1 and ARTICLE XIII, the Borrower shall
compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities
(including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender
to fund or maintain such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but
excluding any loss of Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) which that Lender
may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion into or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice
of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower or in
a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion/ continuation or a
successive Eurodollar Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is
given pursuant to SECTION 5.1(c), including, without limitation, pursuant to
SECTION 5.2(d), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid
(including, without limitation, mandatorily pursuant to SECTION 4.1(d)) on a
date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a
consequence of a required conversion of a Euro-dollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate
Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in SECTION 5.2(d), or (iv) as a
consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay a Eurodollar Rate Loan when
required by the terms of this Agreement. The Lender making demand for such
compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a
written statement in reasonable detail as to such losses, expenses and
liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of
compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.

                                       50
<Page>

          (g) BOOKING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. Any Lender may make, carry or
transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of, its Eurodollar
Lending Office or Euro-dollar Affiliate or its other offices or Affiliates. No
Lender shall be entitled, however, to receive any greater amount under SECTIONS
4.2 or 5.2(f) or ARTICLE XIII as a result of the transfer of any such Eurodollar
Rate Loan to any office (other than such Eurodollar Lending Office) or any
Affiliate (other than such Eurodollar Affiliate) than such Lender would have
been entitled to receive immediately prior thereto, unless (i) the transfer
occurred at a time when circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater
amount did not exist and (ii) such claim would have arisen even if such transfer
had not occurred.

          (h) AFFILIATES NOT OBLIGATED. No Eurodollar Affiliate or other
Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed a party to this Agreement or shall have
any liability or obligation under this Agreement.

          (i) ADJUSTED EURODOLLAR RATE. Any failure by any Lender to take into
account the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage when calculating interest due on
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall not constitute, whether by course of dealing or
otherwise, a waiver by such Lender of its right to collect such amount for any
future period.

          5.3. FEES.

          (a) FACILITY FEE. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee
(the "FACILITY FEE"), accruing at a per annum rate equal to the then applicable
Facility Fee Percentage on the aggregate Commitments, such fee being payable
quarterly, in arrears, commencing on the first day of the fiscal quarter next
succeeding the Closing Date and on the first day of each fiscal quarter
thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender fails to
fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the Borrower which such Lender
is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement, (A) such Lender shall
not be entitled to any portion of the Facility Fee with respect to its
Commitment until such failure has been cured in accordance with SECTION
4.2(b)(iv)(b) and (B) until

                                       51
<Page>

such time, the Facility Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have
funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Loan, shall be
allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative
Commitments, and shall be calculated based upon the average amount by which the
aggregate Commitments of such performing Lenders exceeds the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans owing to such performing Lenders.

          (b) CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES. All fees shall be calculated on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. All fees shall
be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest, compensation, expense
reimbursements, indemnification and other Obligations. Fees shall be payable to
the Administrative Agent at its office in New York, New York in immediately
available funds. All fees shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when paid. All
fees due to any other Lender, including, without limitation, those referred to
in this SECTION 5.3, shall bear interest, if not paid when due, at the interest
rate specified in Section 5.1(d) and shall constitute Obligations.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                               CONDITIONS TO LOANS

          6.1. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE LOANS. The obligation of each Lender
on the Initial Funding Date to make any Loan requested to be made by it shall be
subject to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent:

          (a) DOCUMENTS. The Administrative Agent shall have received on or
before the Initial Funding Date all of the following:

          (i) this Agreement, the Notes, and, to the extent not otherwise
     specifically referenced in this SECTION 6.1(a), all other Loan Documents
     and agreements, documents and instruments described in the List of Closing
     Documents attached hereto as EXHIBIT E and made a part hereof, each duly
     executed and in recordable form, where appropriate,

                                       52
<Page>

     and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; without
     limiting the foregoing, the Borrower hereby directs its legal counsel to
     prepare and deliver to the Agents, the Lenders, and Skadden, Arps, Slate,
     Meagher & Flom LLP the legal opinions referred to in such List of Closing
     Documents; and

          (ii) such additional documentation as the Administrative Agent may
     reasonably request.

          (b) NO LEGAL IMPEDIMENTS. No law, regulation, order, judgment or
decree of any Governmental Authority shall, and the Administrative Agent shall
not have received any notice that litigation is pending or threatened which is
likely to (i) enjoin, prohibit or restrain the making of the Loans on the
Initial Funding Date or (ii) impose or result in the imposition of a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (c) NO CHANGE IN CONDITION. No change in the business, assets,
management, operations, financial condition or prospects of the Borrower or any
of its Properties shall have occurred since September 30, 2001, which change, in
the judgment of the Administrative Agent, will have or is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) INTERIM LIABILITIES AND EQUITY. Except as disclosed to the
Lenders, since September 30, 2001, neither the Borrower nor the Company shall
have (i) entered into any material (as determined in good faith by the
Administrative Agent) commitment or transaction, including, without limitation,
transactions for borrowings and capital expenditures, which are not in the
ordinary course of the Borrower's business, (ii) declared or paid any dividends
or other distributions other than in the ordinary course of business, (iii)
established compensation or employee benefit plans, or (iv) redeemed or issued
any equity Securities.

          (e) NO LOSS OF MATERIAL AGREEMENTS AND LICENSES. Since September 30,
2001, no agreement or license relating to the business, operations or employee
relations of the Borrower or any of its Properties shall have been terminated,

as otherwise noted therein, and fairly present in all material respects the
respective consolidated financial positions, and the consolidated results of
operations and cash flows for each of the periods covered thereby of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof. Neither the

                                       59
<Page>

them (i) challenging the validity or the enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents, (ii) which will or is reasonably likely to result in any Material
Adverse Effect, or (iii) under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act or any similar federal or state statute where such Person is a
defendant in a criminal indictment that provides for the forfeiture of assets to
any Governmental Authority as a potential criminal penalty. There is no material
loss contingency within the meaning of GAAP which has not been reflected in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Borrower. None of the
Company, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower is (A) in violation of
any applicable Requirements of Law which violation will have or is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) subject to or in default with
respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, restraining order or order of

          (k) TAX EXAMINATIONS. The IRS has examined (or is foreclosed from
examining by applicable statutes) the federal income tax returns of any of the
Company's, the Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' predecessors in interest with
respect to the Projects for all tax periods prior to and including the taxable
year ending December 31, 1997 and the appropriate state Governmental Authority
in each state in which the Company's, the Borrower's or its Subsidiaries'
predecessors in interest with respect to the Projects were required to file
state income tax returns has examined (or is foreclosed from examining by
applicable statutes) the state income tax returns of any of such Persons with
respect to the Projects for all tax periods prior to and including the taxable
year ending December 31, 1997. All deficiencies which have been asserted against
such Persons as a result of any federal, state, local or foreign tax examination
for each taxable year in respect of which an examination has been conducted have
been fully paid or finally settled or are being contested in good faith, and no
issue has been raised in any such examination which, by application of

                                       60
<Page>

similar principles, reasonably can be expected to result in assertion of a
material deficiency for any other year not so examined which has not been
reserved for in the financial statements of such Persons to the extent, if any,
required by GAAP. No such Person has taken any reporting positions for which it
does not have a reasonable basis nor anticipates any further material tax
liability with respect to the years which have not been closed pursuant to
applicable law.

          (l) PAYMENT OF TAXES. All tax returns, reports and similar statements
or filings of each of the Persons described in SECTION 7.1(k), the Company, the

charges of Governmental Authorities thereupon and upon or relating to their
respective Properties, assets, receipts, sales, use, payroll, employment,
income, licenses and franchises which are shown in such returns or reports to be
due and payable have been paid, except to the extent (i) such taxes,
assessments, fees and other charges of Governmental Authorities are being
contested in good faith by an appropriate proceeding diligently pursued as
permitted by the terms of SECTION 9.4 and (ii) such taxes, assessments, fees and
other charges of Governmental Authorities pertain to Property of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries and the non-payment of the amounts thereof would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. All other
taxes (including, without limitation, real estate taxes), assessments, fees and
other governmental charges upon or relating to the respective Properties of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are due and payable have been paid, except
for Customary Permitted Liens and except to the extent described in clauses (i)
and (ii) hereinabove. The Borrower has no knowledge of any proposed tax
assessment against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the Projects
that will have or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (m) PERFORMANCE. Neither the Company, the Borrower nor any of their
Affiliates has received any notice, citation or allegation, nor has actual
knowledge, that (i) it is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or

                                       61
<Page>

conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation applicable to it, (ii) any of
its Properties is in violation of any Requirements of Law or (iii) any condition

or the other Lenders in regard to any matter which will have or is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

clause (o) with respect to its projections of future events.

in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it and its respective
businesses and Properties, in each case where the failure to so comply

case of an acquisition by a Minority Holding), which PRO FORMA calculation shall
be effective until the last day of the fourth fiscal quarter following such
acquisition (or such earlier test period, as applicable), at which time actual
performance shall be utilized for such calculations.

          (a) ANNUAL EBITDA. Annual EBITDA for the acquired Property shall be
deemed to be an amount equal to (i) the net purchase price of the acquired
Property (or the

                                       88
<Page>

Borrower's pro rata share of such net purchase price in the event of an
acquisition by a Minority Holding) for the first fiscal quarter following such
acquisition, multiplied by 8.25% and (ii) for the succeeding three fiscal
quarters, Annual EBITDA shall be deemed the greater of (A) the net purchase
price multiplied by 8.25%, or (B) the actual EBITDA from such acquired Property
during the period following Borrower's (direct or indirect) acquisition,
computed on an annualized basis, provided that such annualized EBITDA shall in
no event exceed the final product obtained after multiplying (1) the net
purchase price by (2) 1.1, and then by (3) 8.25%.

          (b) COMBINED EBITDA. The pro forma calculation of Annual EBITDA for
the acquired Property shall be added to the calculation of Combined EBITDA.

          (c) UNENCUMBERED COMBINED EBITDA. If, after giving effect to the

be added to the calculation of Unencumbered Combined EBITDA.

          (d) SECURED INDEBTEDNESS. Any Indebtedness secured by a Lien incurred
and/or assumed in connection with such acquisition of a Property shall be added
to the calculation of Secured Indebtedness.

          (e) TOTAL ADJUSTED OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS. Any Indebtedness incurred
and/or assumed in connection with such acquisition shall be added to the
calculation of Total Adjusted Outstanding Indebtedness.

          (f) COMBINED INTEREST EXPENSE. If any Indebtedness is incurred or
assumed in connection with such acquisition, then the amount of interest expense
to be incurred on such Indebtedness during the period following such
acquisition, computed on an annualized basis during the applicable period, shall
be added to the calculation of Combined Interest Expense.

          (g) TOTAL UNSECURED OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS. Any Indebtedness which
is not secured by a Lien and which is incurred and/or assumed in connection with
such acquisition

                                       89
<Page>

shall be added to the calculation of Total Unsecured Outstanding Indebtedness.

          (h) UNSECURED INTEREST EXPENSE. If any unsecured Indebtedness is
incurred or assumed in connection with such acquisition, then the amount of
interest expense to be incurred on such Indebtedness during the period following
such acquisition, computed on an annualized basis during the applicable period,
shall be added to the calculation of Unsecured Interest Expense.

          (i) DEBT YIELD AND UNENCUMBERED DEBT YIELD. For purposes of
calculating Debt Yield and Unencumbered Debt Yield only, non-recourse
Indebtedness and completion guarantees incurred for the construction of new
Projects shall, until such time as the interest expense associated with such
financing need no longer be capitalized in accordance with GAAP, be excluded
from the calculation of Total Adjusted Outstanding Indebtedness (provided that
recourse Indebtedness and repayment guarantees shall be included in such
calculation).

the waiver is based could subject either the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to
liability in excess of $500,000.

the Company in good faith by an appropriate proceeding diligently pursued, (B)
for which adequate reserves have been made on its books and records, and (C) the
amounts the non-payment of which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (o) MERGER OR LIQUIDATION OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS OR THE BORROWER. Any
General Partner shall merge or liquidate with or into any other Person and, as a
result thereof and after giving effect thereto, (i) such General Partner is not

An Event of Default shall be deemed "continuing" until cured or waived in
writing in accordance with SECTION 15.7.

          11.2. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

          (a) ACCELERATION AND TERMINATION. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in SECTIONS 11.1(f) or 11.1(g), the Commitments shall
automatically and

                                       95
<Page>

immediately terminate and the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all
accrued interest on, the Obligations and all accrued fees shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or
other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and
appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate
and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;
and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent,
of the Requisite Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, (i) declare that
the Commitments are terminated, and/or (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount
of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations to be, and the
same shall there-upon be, immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without
limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent
to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower.

          (b) RESCISSION. If at any time after termination of the Commitments
and/or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all
arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans which
shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal
and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified
in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default
(other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and
payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant
to SECTION 15.7, then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and
written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Commitments and/or the
acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such
action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the
preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which
may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to
benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the
Lenders to rescind or

                                       96
<Page>

annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are
met.

          (c) ENFORCEMENT. The Borrower acknowledges that in the event the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries fails to perform, observe or discharge any
of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders; therefore, the Borrower agrees that
the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall be entitled to temporary
and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of
proving actual damages.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                                   THE AGENTS

          12.1. APPOINTMENT. (a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints
Commerzbank as the Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank as the Syndication
Agent, and National City Bank, as the Documentation Agent, of such Lender under
this Agreement, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to take
such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agents
each agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this ARTICLE
XII. The Administrative Agent shall administer this Agreement and service the
Loans with the same degree of care as the Administrative Agent would use in
servicing a loan of similar size and type for its own account.

          (b) The provisions of this ARTICLE XII are solely for the benefit of
the Agents, and neither the Borrower, the General Partners nor any Subsidiary of
the Borrower shall have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions
hereof (other than as expressly set forth in SECTION 12.7). In performing their
respective functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agents shall act
solely as agent of the Lenders and do not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation or relationship of agency, trustee or fiduciary with or
for any General Partner, the Borrower or

                                       97
<Page>

any Subsidiary of the Borrower. The Agents may perform any of their respective
duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through their respective
agents or employees.

          12.2. NATURE OF DUTIES. The Agents shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
Loan Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature. None of the Agents shall have by reason of this
Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Holder. Nothing in this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or
shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any obligations in respect of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or
therein. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that its duties shall include
providing copies of documents received by such Agent from the Borrower which are
reasonably requested by any Lender and promptly notifying each Lender upon its
obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder.
In addition, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each of the
Lenders copies of all notices of default and other formal notices (including,
without limitation, requests for waivers or modifications) sent or received.

          12.3. RIGHT TO REQUEST INSTRUCTIONS. The Agents may at any time
request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals
which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents such Agent is permitted or
required to take or to grant, and such Agent shall be absolutely entitled to
refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be
under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or
withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have
received such instructions from those Lenders from whom such Agent is required
to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Agent shall
take any action, or refrain from taking any action, which is permitted by the
terms of the Loan Documents upon receipt of instructions from those Lenders from
whom such Agent is required to obtain such

                                       98
<Page>

instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents,
PROVIDED, that no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the
Agents as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan
Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where
required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the
Lenders.

          12.4. RELIANCE. The Agents shall each be entitled to rely upon any
written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any
telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all
matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties
hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.

          12.5. INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed
and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such
Agent solely in its capacity as such Agent and not as a Lender for and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, and reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it
in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken
or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to each
Lender's Pro Rata Share, unless and to the extent that any such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and
reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements shall arise as a result of such
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such Agent agrees to refund to
the Lenders any of the foregoing amounts paid to it by the Lenders which amounts
are subsequently recovered by such Agent from the Borrower or any other Person
on behalf of the Borrower. The obligations of the Lenders under this SECTION
12.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.

          12.6. AGENTS INDIVIDUALLY. With respect to their respective Pro Rata
Share of the Commitments hereunder, if

                                       99
<Page>

any, and the Loans made by it, if any, the Agents shall have and may exercise
the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and
liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The
terms "Lenders" or "Requisite Lenders" or any similar terms shall, unless the
context clearly otherwise indicates, include each of the Agent in its respective
individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. The
Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries as if they were not acting as the applicable Agent pursuant
hereto.

          12.7. SUCCESSOR AGENTS.

          (a) RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL. Any Agent may resign from the performance
of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty
(30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders,
unless applicable law requires a shorter notice period or that there be no
notice period, in which instance such applicable law shall control. Any Agent
may be removed (i) at the direction of Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares, in the
aggregate, are greater than fifty percent (50%), in the event the Agent is not
also a Lender having a Commitment of at least $9,000,000 or six percent (6%) of
the Commitments at such time or (ii) at the direction of the Requisite Lenders,
in the event such Agent shall commit gross negligence or willful misconduct in
the performance of its duties hereunder. Such resignation or removal shall take
effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to this
SECTION 12.7.

          (b) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

          (c) APPOINTMENT BY RETIRING AGENT. If a successor Administrative Agent
shall not have been appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day or shorter
period provided in PARAGRAPH (a) of this SECTION 12.7, the retiring Agent shall
then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until
such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

                                       100
<Page>

          (d) RIGHTS OF THE SUCCESSOR AND RETIRING AGENTS. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this ARTICLE XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

          12.8. RELATIONS AMONG THE LENDERS. Each Lender agrees that it will not
take any legal action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the
Borrower hereunder with respect to any of the Obligations, without the prior
written consent of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the
Obligations, or unilaterally terminate its Commitment except in accordance with
SECTION 11.2(a).

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                YIELD PROTECTION

          13.1. TAXES.

          (a) PAYMENT OF TAXES. Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder
or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations shall be made, in
accordance with SECTION 4.2, free and clear of and without reduction for any and
all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings,
and all stamp or documentary taxes, excise taxes, ad valorem taxes and other
taxes imposed on the value of the Property, charges or levies which arise from
the execution, delivery or registration, or from payment or performance under,
or otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or the Commitments and
all other liabilities with respect thereto excluding, in the case of each
Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by net income or overall gross receipts and
capital and franchise taxes imposed on it by (i) the United States, (ii) the
Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction in which such Lender's

                                       101
<Page>

Applicable Lending Office is located or any political subdivision thereof or
(iii) the Governmental Authority in which such Person is organized, managed and
controlled or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings being hereinafter referred
to as "TAXES"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any such Note
or document to any Lender, (x) the sum payable to such Lender shall be increased
as may be necessary so that after making all required withholding or deductions
(including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this SECTION 13.1) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (y) the Borrower shall
make such withholding or deductions, and (z) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower will indemnify each Lender against,
and reimburse each Lender on demand for, the full amount of all Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority
on amounts payable under this SECTION 13.1 and any additional income or
franchise taxes resulting therefrom) incurred or paid by such Lender or any of
its Affiliates and any liability (including penalties, interest, and
out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were lawfully payable. A certificate as to
any additional amount payable to any Person under this SECTION 13.1 submitted by
it to the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto. Each Lender agrees, within a reasonable time
after receiving a written request from the Borrower, to provide the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent with such certificates as are reasonably required, and
take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to claim such exemptions as
such Lender may be entitled to claim in respect of all or a portion of any Taxes
which are otherwise required to be paid or deducted or withheld pursuant to this
SECTION 13.1 in respect of any payments under this Agreement or under the Notes.

                                       102
<Page>

          (c) RECEIPTS. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of
Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at
its address referred to in SECTION 15.8, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (d) FOREIGN BANK CERTIFICATIONS. (i) Each Lender that is not created
or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision
thereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the
Closing Date or the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to
SECTION 15.1 hereof a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a
duly authorized officer of such Lender to the effect that such Lender is
eligible to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax (I) under the provisions of an
applicable tax treaty concluded by the United States (in which case the
certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form 1001
(or any successor or substitute form or forms)) or (II) under Sections
1442(c)(1) and 1442(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (in which case the
certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form 4224
(or any successor or substitute form or forms)).

          (ii) Each Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent from time to time a true and accurate certificate executed
in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender before or promptly upon
the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate
previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this SECTION 13.1(d). Each certificate required to be delivered pursuant to
this SECTION 13.1(d)(ii) shall certify as to one of the following:

          (A) that such Lender can continue to receive payments hereunder and
     under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal
     income tax;

          (B) that such Lender cannot continue to receive payments hereunder and
     under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States

                                       103
<Page>

     federal income tax as specified therein but does not require additional
     payments pursuant to SECTION 13.1(a) because it is entitled to recover the
     full amount of any such deduction or withholding from a source other than
     the Borrower; or

          (C) that such Lender is no longer capable of receiving payments
     hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United
     States federal income tax as specified therein and that it is not capable
     of recovering the full amount of the same from a source other than the
     Borrower.

Each Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
further duly completed copies of the above-mentioned IRS forms on or before the
earlier of (x) the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or
otherwise is required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption
from withholding from United States federal income tax and (y) fifteen (15) days
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by such Lender to the Borrower and Administrative Agent,
unless any change in treaty, law, regulation, or official interpretation thereof
which would render such form inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from
duly completing and delivering such form has occurred prior to the date on which
any such deliv-ery would otherwise be required and the Lender promptly advises
the Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments hereunder and under
the Notes without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income
tax.

          13.2. INCREASED CAPITAL. If after the date hereof any Lender
determines that (i) the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the
interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any
Lender or banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the
force of law), compliance with which affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender and (ii) the amount of such capital is increased by or
based

                                       104
<Page>

upon the making or maintenance by any Lender of its Loans, any Lender's
participation in or obligation to participate in the Loans or other advances
made hereunder or the existence of any Lender's obligation to make Loans, then,
in any such case, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand
to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender or such corporation therefor. Such demand shall be accompanied by a
statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary of
the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

          13.3. CHANGES; LEGAL RESTRICTIONS. If after the date hereof any Lender
determines that the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the
interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any
Lender, or over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having
the force of law), compliance with which:

          (a) does or will subject a Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office or
     Eurodollar Affiliate) to charges (other than taxes) of any kind which such
     Lender reasonably determines to be applicable to the Commitments of the
     Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or change the basis of taxation of
     payments to that Lender of principal, fees, interest, or any other amount
     payable hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans; or

          (b) does or will impose, modify, or hold applicable, in the
     determination of a Lender, any reserve (other than reserves taken into
     account in calculating the Eurodollar Rate), special deposit, compulsory
     loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or
     deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans
     by, commitments made, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition
     of

                                       105
<Page>

     funds by, a Lender or any Applicable Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate
     of that Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of
making, renewing or maintaining the Loans or its Commitment or to reduce any
amount receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, upon written demand by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, such amount or
amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or its Eurodollar
Affiliate for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amount received. Such
demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation
and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          13.4. REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN LENDERS. In the event a Lender (a
"DESIGNEE LENDER") shall have requested additional compensation from the
Borrower under SECTION 13.2 or under SECTION 13.3, the Borrower may, at its sole
election, (a) make written demand on such Designee Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) for the Designee Lender to assign, and such Designee
Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and
Acceptances to one or more Eligible Assignees which the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent shall have identified for such purpose, all of such
Designee Lender's right and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes
(including, without limitation, its Commitment, and all Loans owing to it) in
accordance with SECTION 15.1 or (b) repay all Loans owing to the Designee Lender
together with interest accrued with respect thereto to the date of such
repayment and all fees and other charges accrued or payable under the terms of
this Agreement for the benefit of the Designee Lender to the date of such
repayment. Any such repayment and remittance shall be for the sole credit of the
Designee Lender and not for any other Lender. Upon delivery of such repayment
and remittance in immediately available funds as aforesaid, the Designee Lender
shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement. All expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing shall be for the sole
account of the

                                       106
<Page>

Borrower and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. In no event shall
Borrower's election under the provisions of this SECTION 13.4 affect its
obligation to pay the additional compensation required under either SECTION 13.2
or SECTION 13.3.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

          15.1. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

          (a) ASSIGNMENTS. No assignments or participations of any Lender's
rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made except in accordance
with this SECTION 15.1. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans) in accordance with
the provisions of this SECTION 15.1.

          (b) LIMITATIONS ON ASSIGNMENTS. For so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, each assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions: (i) each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
ratable percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement and, in the case of a partial assignment, shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $5,000,000, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an
Eligible Assignee, and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the
Register, an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the occurrence and continuance of
an Event of Default, none of the foregoing restrictions on assignments shall
apply. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance
and agreed to by the Administrative Agent, (A) the assignee thereunder shall, in
addition to any rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to

extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto) and (C) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the
assignee thereunder a Note evidencing its obligations to such assignee with
respect to the Loans.

          (c) THE REGISTER. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its
address referred to in SECTION 15.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the "REGISTER") for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of, and
the principal amount of the Loans under the Commitments owing to, each Lender
from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee
of another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (d) FEE. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
the assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500 (payable by the assignee to the Administrative Agent), the
Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed
and is in compliance with this Agreement and in substantially the form of
EXHIBIT A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the

                                       108
<Page>

information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders.

          (e) PARTICIPATIONS. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more
other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under and
in respect of any and all facilities under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or a portion of any or all of its Commitment hereunder and the
Loans owing to it); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Lender's obligations under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (iv) each participation shall be in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000, and (v) such participant's rights to agree or to restrict
such Lender's ability to agree to the modification, waiver or release of any of
the terms of the Loan Documents, to consent to any action or failure to act by
any party to any of the Loan Documents or any of their respective Affiliates, or
to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which any Lender may
have under or in respect of the Loan Documents, shall be limited to the right to
consent to (A) increase in the Commitment of the Lender from whom such
participant purchased a participation, (B) reduction of the principal of, or
rate or amount of interest on the Loans subject to such participation (other
than by the payment or prepayment thereof), (C) postponement of any date fixed
for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan(s) subject to such
participation and (D) release of any guarantor of the Obligations.

          (f) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

          (g) INFORMATION REGARDING THE BORROWER. Any Lender may, in connection
with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation
pursuant to this SECTION 15.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or
proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by the Administrative Agent or by or
on behalf of the

                                       109
<Page>

Borrower; PROVIDED that, prior to any such disclosure, such assignee or
participant, or proposed assignee or participant, shall agree, in writing, to
preserve in accordance with SECTION 15.20 the confidentiality of any
confidential information described therein.

          (h) SPC ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any Lender (a "GRANTING LENDER") may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (a "SPC"), identified in writing from time to time by the Granting
Lender to the Administrative Agent, the option to purchase from the Granting
Lender all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make as provided herein, PROVIDED that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment to purchase any Loan by any SPC, and (ii) if a SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of
such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to
the terms hereof. The funding of a Loan by a SPC hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were
funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender
would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting
Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the
foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one
year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Loans of any SPC,
it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against,
such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Granting Lender may disclose to a SPC and any SPC may disclose to any Rating
Agency or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC any information
relating to the SPC's funding of Loans, all on a confidential basis. This clause
(h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting
Lender, all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by a SPC at the time of
such amendment.

                                       110
<Page>

          (i) PAYMENT TO PARTICIPANTS. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any participation, all amounts payable
by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be calculated and made in the
manner and to the parties required hereby as if no such participation had been
sold.

          (j) LENDERS' CREATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS. Notwithstanding any other
provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Obligations owing to it and any Note held by it)
in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A of the
Federal Reserve Board.

          15.2. EXPENSES.

          (a) GENERALLY. The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable external audit and investigation
expenses, and for the fees, expenses and disbursements of Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom LLP (but not of other legal counsel) and for all other
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the audit and investigation of the
Consolidated Businesses, the Projects and other Properties of the Consolidated
Businesses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the
Loan Documents; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution and interpretation
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted
satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI), the Loan
Documents, and the making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) the ongoing
administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with
attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent's
rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(iv) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the
enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (v) the commencement, defense or
intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any
Project, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents; (vi) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or
request for document production

                                       111
<Page>

with which the Administrative Agent or any other Agents or any other Lender is
served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Lender is called to
testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, a Project, the
Borrower, any of the Consolidated Businesses, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents; and (vii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments,
restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation,
negotiation, and execution of the same.

          (b) AFTER DEFAULT. The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
(including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement) incurred
by such entity after the occurrence of an Event of Default (i) in enforcing any
Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing
any other right or remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or in any insolvency
or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any
litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings
in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, a Project, any of the
Consolidated Businesses and related to or arising out of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking
any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or
otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

          15.3. INDEMNITY. The Borrower further agrees (a) to defend, protect,
indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each and all of the
other Lenders and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
attorneys and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in
connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the
conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI) (collectively, the "INDEMNITEES") from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of
profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs,
reasonable expenses and disbursements of any

                                       112
<Page>

kind or nature whatsoever (excluding any taxes and including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such
Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party
thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any
manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the
making of the Loans hereunder, the management of such Loans, the use or intended
use of the proceeds of the Loans hereunder, or any of the other transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (ii) any Liabilities and Costs relating
to violation of any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law, the
past, present or future operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective predecessors in interest, or, the past, present or
future environmental, health or safety condition of any respective Property of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the presence of asbestos-containing
materials at any respective Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
or the Release or threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment
(collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED MATTERS"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Borrower shall
have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified
Matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
non-appealable final judgment; and (b) not to assert any claim against any of
the Indemnitees, on any theory of liability, for consequential or punitive
damages arising out of, or in any way in connection with, the Commitments, the
Obligations, or the other matters governed by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum
portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the
payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

          15.4. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. If any change in the accounting
principles used in the preparation of the most recent financial statements
referred to in

                                       113
<Page>

SECTIONS 8.1 or 8.2 are hereafter required or permitted by the rules,
regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors
thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by any General
Partner or the Borrower, as applicable, with the agreement of its independent
certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method
of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms found in ARTICLE X,
the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such
provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that
the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants, standards and terms
by the Borrower shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not
been made; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no change in GAAP that would affect the method of
calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in
such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to so reflect such change in
accounting principles.

          15.5. SETOFF. In addition to any Liens granted under the Loan
Documents and any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and
any Affiliate of any Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or
from time to time, without notice to any Person (any such notice being hereby
expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all
deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured (but not
including trust accounts)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing
by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of
the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to such
Lender or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, all Loans and
all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender shall have made
any demand hereunder or (ii) the Administrative Agent, at the request or with
the consent of the Requisite Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and
interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to

                                       114
<Page>

be due and payable as permitted by ARTICLE XI and even though such Obligations
may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without
the express consent of the Requisite Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent
it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders,
exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of the Borrower now or
hereafter maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate.

          15.6. RATABLE SHARING. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i)
with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment
of the Obligations (excluding the fees described in SECTIONS 5.2(f), and 5.3 and
ARTICLE XIII) equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such
amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of
setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement
of any or all of the Obligations (excluding the fees described in SECTIONS
5.2(f), and 5.3 and ARTICLE XIII), (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary
payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker's lien
or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the
Obligations held by it, which is greater than the amount which such Lender is
entitled to receive hereunder, the Lender receiving such excess payment shall
purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation
(which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such
payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with
respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their
Pro Rata Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or part of such excess payment
received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those
purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to such party to the extent necessary to adjust
for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing
party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
pursuant to this SECTION 15.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including, subject to SECTION 15.5, the
right of setoff) with respect to such

                                       115
<Page>

participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          15.7. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

          (a) GENERAL PROVISIONS. 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 Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders shall have the
right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the Borrower; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Borrower's agreement shall not be required for any amendment
or modification of SECTIONS 12.1 through 12.8. No termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to
any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective without the written
concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders shall have the
right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. All amendments, waivers and
consents not specifically reserved to the Administrative Agent or the other
Lenders in SECTION 15.7(b), 15.7(c), and in other provisions of this Agreement
shall require only the approval of the Requisite Lenders. Any waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall
entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.

          (b) AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS AND WAIVERS BY AFFECTED LENDERS. Any
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of
the following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written
agreement, signed by each Lender affected thereby as described below:

     (i) waiver of any of the conditions specified in SECTIONS 6.1 and 6.2
     (except with respect to a condition based upon another provision of this
     Agreement, the waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the
     Requisite Lenders),

                                       116
<Page>

     (ii) increase in the amount of such Lender's Commitment,

     (iii) reduction of the principal of, rate or amount of interest on the
     Loans, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (other than by
     the payment or prepayment thereof), and

     (iv) postponement or extension of any date (other than the Termination Date
     postponement or extension of which is governed by SECTION 15.7(c)(i)) fixed
     for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or
     other amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to any
     modifications of the application provisions relating to prepayments of
     Loans and other Obligations which are governed by SECTION 4.2(b)).

          (c) AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS AND WAIVERS BY ALL LENDERS. Any amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the
following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written
agreement, signed by each Lender:

     (i) postponement of the Termination Date, or increase in the aggregate
     Commitments to any amount in excess of $150,000,000,

     (ii) change in the definition of Requisite Lenders or in the aggregate Pro
     Rata Share of the Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of
     them to take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,

     (iii) amendment of SECTION 15.6 or this SECTION 15.7,

     (iv) assignment of any right or interest in or under this Agreement or any
     of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower, and

     (v) waiver of any Event of Default described in SECTIONS 11.1(a), (f), (g),
     (i), (n), and (o).

          (d) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AUTHORITY. The Administrative Agent may, but
shall have no obligation to, with the

                                       117
<Page>

written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or
consents on behalf of that Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this SECTION 15.7, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent
shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless made in writing and signed by the
Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such
action. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the
Borrower shall have requested, in writing, that any Lender agree to an
amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any particular
provision or provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such
Lender shall have failed to state, in writing, that it either agrees or
disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests (in the case of its
statement of agreement, subject to satisfactory documentation and such other
conditions it may specify) within thirty (30) days after such Lender receives
such request, then such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent to agree or disagree, in full or in part, and in the Administrative
Agent's sole discretion, to such requests on behalf of such Lender as such
Lenders' attorney-in-fact and to execute and deliver any writing approved by the
Administrative Agent which evidences such agreement as such Lender's duly
authorized agent for such purposes.

          15.8. NOTICES. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any
notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be
in writing and may be personally served, sent by facsimile transmission or by
courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person
or by courier service, or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission. Notices to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to ARTICLES II, IV or XII shall not be
effective until received by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof,
the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is
delivered as provided in this SECTION 15.8) shall be as set forth below each
party's name on the signature pages hereof or the signature page of any
applicable Assignment and Acceptance, or, as to each party, at such other
address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the
other parties to this Agreement.

<Page>

          15.9. SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS. All representations and
warranties made herein and all obligations of the Borrower in respect of taxes,
indemnification and expense reimbursement shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the making and
repayment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement and shall not be
limited in any way by the passage of time or occurrence of any event and shall
expressly cover time periods when the Administrative Agent, any of the other
Agents or any of the other Lenders may have come into possession or control of
any Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

          15.10. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No
failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or
any other Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of
the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed
to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and
remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive
of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

          15.11. MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. None of the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets
in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or
all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or
payments to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any such Person
exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside 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.

                                      119
<Page>

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

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

          15.14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE
RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES.

          15.15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No claim may be made by any Lender,
the Administrative Agent, or any other Person against any Lender (acting in any
capacity hereunder) or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys
or agents of any of them for any consequential or punitive damages in respect of
any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of
or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act,
omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Lender and the
Administrative Agent hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such
claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or
suspected to exist in its favor.

          15.16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders. The rights hereunder of the
Borrower, or any interest therein, may not be assigned without the prior written
consent of all Lenders, except in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV
hereof.

          15.17. CERTAIN CONSENTS AND WAIVERS OF THE BORROWER.

          (a) PERSONAL JURISDICTION. (i) EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING
IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER APPEALS OF MATTERS
HEARD IN SUCH COURTS, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED
WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR
OTHERWISE, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT
OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT
OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. THE BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS CT CORPORATION SYSTEM, 1633 BROADWAY, NEW
YORK, NEW YORK 10019, AS ITS AGENT (THE "PROCESS AGENT") FOR SERVICE OF ALL
PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT. EACH OF THE
LENDERS AND THE BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY
SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. THE BORROWER WAIVES
IN ALL DISPUTES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT
CONSIDERING THE DISPUTE.

          (ii) THE BORROWER AGREES THAT THE Administrative Agent SHALL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION
NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO ENABLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER
LENDERS TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER LENDER. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT

and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective against the Borrower and
each 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.

          15.19. LIMITATION ON AGREEMENTS. All agreements between the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the Loan Documents are hereby
expressly limited so that in no event shall any of the Loans or other amounts
payable by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents be directly or
indirectly secured (within the meaning of Regulation U) by Margin Stock.

hold all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this
Agreement, and identified as such by the Borrower, in accordance with such
Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of this
nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices (provided that
such Lender may share such information with its Affiliates in accordance with
such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of this
nature and provided further that such Affiliate shall hold such information
confidential) and in any event the Lenders may make disclosure reasonably
required by a bona fide offeree, transferee or participant in connection with
the contemplated transfer or participation or as required or requested by any
Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process
and shall require any such offeree, transferee or participant to agree (and
require any of its offerees, transferees or participants to agree) to comply
with this SECTION 15.20. In no event shall any Lender be obligated or required
to return any materials furnished by the Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, each
offeree shall be required to agree that if it does not become a transferee or
participant it shall return all materials furnished to it by the Borrower in
connection with this Agreement. Any and all confidentiality agreements entered
into between any Lender and the Borrower shall survive the execution of this
Agreement.

          15.21. DISCLAIMERS. The Administrative Agent and the other Lenders
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 the Projects, including any TI
Work. The Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall not be liable for any
debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against the Borrower or
others or against any of the Projects. The Borrower is not and shall not be an
agent of any of the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders for any purposes
and none of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be deemed partners or
joint venturers with Borrower or any of its Affiliates. None of the
Administrative Agent or the other Lenders shall be deemed to be in privity of
contract with any contractor or provider of services to any Project,

                                      123
<Page>

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 any of the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders and
the Borrower agrees to hold the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders
harmless from any of the damages and expenses resulting from such a construction
of the relationship of the parties or any assertion thereof.

          15.22. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

          15.23. RETAINED PROPERTIES. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company or any Subsidiary thereof will retain
direct or indirect ownership of the Retained Properties, or, if the Company
shall elect to sell or otherwise transfer any of the Retained Properties, it
shall retain any and all proceeds received in connection therewith, and will not
contribute any portion thereof to the Borrower or any other entity or distribute
any portion thereof to any of its shareholders.

          15.24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, taken together with all of
the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among
the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
