            Agreement. This Third Amended, Restated and Consolidated Master
Credit Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto.

            Applicable Margin. On any date that the lower of the Ratings issued
from time to time by the Rating Agencies for the Borrower is a Qualifying
Rating, the Applicable Margin shall be as set forth below:

     Pricing Level          LIBOR Rate Loans          Base Rate Loans

    Pricing Level 1               1.75%                      0%

In the event that any of the Rating Agencies issues a Rating for the Borrower
that is a Qualifying Rating, or in the event of any change in a Rating of the
Borrower by any of


                                       2
<PAGE>

the Rating Agencies, or if the Borrower's Rating, after having obtained a
Qualifying Rating, shall cease at any time to be a Qualifying Rating by any of
the Rating Agencies (but subject to the provisions within the definition of the
term "Qualifying Rating"), such change shall effect a change in the Applicable
Margin, as applicable, on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) month following
the Rating Notice Date. On any date that the lower of the Ratings for the
Borrower is not a Qualifying Rating, or the Borrower has not obtained a
Qualifying Rating from either S&P or Moody's, the Applicable Margin shall be
based upon the ratio of the Consolidated Total Liabilities of the Borrower to
the Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower as set forth below. It is the
intention of the parties that if the Borrower shall only obtain a Qualifying
Rating from one of S&P or Moody's without seeking a Qualifying Rating from the
other of S&P or Moody's, the Borrower shall be entitled to the benefit of the
Pricing Level 1 described above; provided that if the Borrower shall have
obtained a Qualifying Rating from both of S&P and Moody's, the lower of the two
ratings (or the loss of the Qualifying Rating from either or both of S&P or
Moody's thereafter) shall control. The Borrower may obtain a Rating from Fitch
in lieu of a Rating from S&P or Moody's, which Rating shall be considered for
the purposes hereof, provided that in no event may a Rating from Fitch be the
sole Rating for the purposes hereof.

On any date on which the Applicable Margin is to be determined based upon the
ratio of the Consolidated Total Liabilities of the Borrower to the Consolidated
Total Assets of the Borrower, the applicable margin set forth below based on the
ratio of the Consolidated Total Liabilities of Borrower to the Consolidated
Total Assets of Borrower:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                     Base Rate
 Pricing Level                Ratio             LIBOR Rate Loans       Loans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pricing Level 2    Less than 45%                     1.875%              0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pricing Level 3    Greater than or equal to
                   45% but less than 50%             2.000%              0%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pricing Level 4    Greater than or equal to
                   50% but less than 55%             2.125%              0%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pricing Level 5    55% or greater                    2.250%              0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 3. The Applicable Margin
shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first (1st)
day of the first (1st) month following the delivery by Borrower to the Agent of
the Compliance Certificate at the end of a fiscal quarter. In the event that
Borrower shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate
on or before the date required by (S)7.4(c), then without limiting any other
rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin
shall be at Pricing Level 5 until such failure is cured within any applicable
cure period.

            (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
each of the Term Loan Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower such Term
Loan Lender's Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan Commitment.

            (b) The Term Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes
of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the
"Term Loan Notes"), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise
provided in (S)18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Term Loan
Note shall be payable to the order of each Term Loan Lender in the principal
amount equal to such Term Loan Lender's Term Loan Commitment, plus interest
accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent
to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of receipt of any payment of
principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent's Record reflecting the
receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Term Loans set forth on
Agent's Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof
owing and unpaid to each Term Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any
error in so recording, any such amount on Agent's Record shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Term
Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Term Loan Note
when due. By delivery of the Term Loan Notes, there shall not be deemed to have

<PAGE>

Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the
Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent
given in accordance with (S)2.7, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for
the purposes set forth in (S)2.9 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount
outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal
to the lesser of (i) such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment
and (ii) such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage
of the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base minus (B) the sum of (1) the amount of all
Outstanding Term Loans and (2) the aggregate Letters of Credit Outstanding;
provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing; and provided, further, that the outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) and
Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not at any time exceed the total Revolving
Credit Commitment or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in (S)9.1. The
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving
Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Each request for a
Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty
by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in 10 and (S)11 have been
satisfied on the date of such request. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any
obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrower in the maximum aggregate
principal outstanding balance of more than the principal face amount of its
Revolving Credit Note.

            (b) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate
promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto
(collectively, the "Revolving Credit Notes"), dated of even date with this
Agreement (except as otherwise provided in (S)18.3) and completed with
appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order
of each Revolving Credit Lender in the principal amount equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount
of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus
interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably
authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the
Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or the time of receipt of any payment
of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent's Record reflecting the
making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such
payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on
Agent's Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof
owing and unpaid to each Revolving Credit Lender, but the failure to record, or
any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent's Record shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any
Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any
Revolving Credit Note when due. By delivery of the Revolving Credit Notes, there
shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any
payment, satisfaction or novation of the indebtedness evidenced by the "Notes"
as defined in the Original Revolving Credit Agreement, which indebtedness
(including any amount outstanding as a swing loan under the Original Revolving
Credit Agreement) is instead allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders as of
the date hereof and evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes in accordance with
their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee calculated at the
rate per annum as set forth below on the average daily amount by which the total
Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of
Revolving Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit Outstanding during each
calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof and ending on
the Maturity Date. The facility unused fee shall be calculated based on the
Pricing Level of the Applicable Margin applicable to the Loans as follows:

      Pricing Level                             Rate
      -------------                             ----

      Pricing Level 1                           0.15%

      Pricing Levels 2 through 5                0.25%

The facility unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day
of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or
portion thereof, on any earlier date on which the applicable Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be reduced and on the Maturity Date.

      (S)2.4 Reduction and Termination of Revolving Credit Commitments. The
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5)
Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that in no event
shall the total Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced in such manner to an
amount less than $75,000,000.00) or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion
of the Revolving Credit Commitments (provided that in no event may the Revolving
Credit Commitment be reduced or terminated unless the outstanding Term Loans are
reduced to an equal amount or paid in full, as applicable), whereupon the
Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced
pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be,
terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as
otherwise set forth in (S)4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or
reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of
Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the Outstanding Swing Loans and the Letters
of Credit Outstanding would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving
any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this (S)2.4, the Agent will
notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Upon the effective
date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent
for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of
any facility fee under (S)2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No
reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment may be reinstated.

      (S)2.5 Swing Loan Commitment.


                                       29
<PAGE>

            (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
and if necessary to meet the Borrower's funding deadlines, Swing Loan Lender
agrees to lend to the Borrower (the "Swing Loans"), and the Borrower may borrow
(and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date
which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date upon notice by the
Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this (S)2.5, such
sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in (S)2.9 in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing
Loan Commitment; provided that at no time shall the aggregate principal balance
of Swing Loans then outstanding, when added to the Swing Loan Lender's Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of all other Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
(after giving effect to all amounts requested), exceed the lesser of (i) the
Swing Loan Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the Swing Loan Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base minus the sum of
(A) the Outstanding Loans (other than Swing Loans) plus (B) the Letters of
Credit Outstanding, provided, further, that in all events no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans (after giving effect to all amounts
requested) shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. Swing Loans shall
constitute "Loans" for all purposes hereunder, but shall not be considered the
utilization of a Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment. The
funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty
by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in (S)10 and (S)11 have
been satisfied on the date of such funding.

            (b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note
of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (the "Swing
Note"), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate
insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan
Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall
be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing
Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown
Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal
thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender's Record reflecting
the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such
payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan
Lender's Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof
owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any
error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender's Record shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under
the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing
Loan Note when due.

            (c) Each borrowing of Swing Loan shall be subject to the limits for
Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans set forth
in (S)2.7. Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan
Lender a Loan Request no later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the requested
Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan. The Loan
Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by
(S)2.7(i)-(iii). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the
Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the


                                       30
<PAGE>

contrary, a Swing Loan shall either be a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan or a
Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one month, and in
the event that the Borrower fails to specify whether it has selected a Revolving
Credit Base Rate Loan or a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall
be deemed conclusively to have selected a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan with
an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the date
that the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to fund the Revolving Credit
Loans pursuant to (S)2.5(d) to refund such Swing Loan, the interest rate shall
be reset to a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period as
specified in the Loan Request given by the Borrower to the Agent in connection
with such Swing Loan, or if no Interest Period is specified, then as a Revolving
Credit Base Rate Loan in each case without any breakage or similar cost to the
Borrower under (S)4.8 or otherwise. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be made
available by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower at the Agent's Head Office by
crediting the account of the Borrower at such office with such proceeds.

            (d) The Swing Loan Lender shall within three (3) Business Days after
the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Revolving Credit
Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan
pursuant to (S)2.2 in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan
outstanding on the date such notice is given. Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees
that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender
pursuant to this (S)2.5(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant
to (S)2.2. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of
(S)12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of (S)2.5(e) shall
apply), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving
Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan
Lender at the Agent's Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Boston time) in funds
immediately available no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date
such notice is given just as if the Revolving Credit Lenders were funding
directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced
by the Revolving Credit Notes. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall
be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.

            (e) If prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to
(S)2.5(d) by all of the Revolving Credit Lenders, one of the events described in
(S)12.1(h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will,
on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to (S)2.5(d) was to have been
made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an
amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan.
Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender
in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt
thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a
Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and
in such amount.

            (f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received
from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender's participation
interest


                                       31
<PAGE>

in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof,
the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its
participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of
interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving
Credit Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender
is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the
Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan
Lender to it.

            (g) Each Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to fund a Revolving
Credit Loan as provided in (S)2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests
pursuant to (S)2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit
Lender or the Borrower or Guarantors may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the
Borrower or Guarantors or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or Guarantors
or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or Guarantors or any Revolving
Credit Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not
so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and Swing Loan Lender as a
Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Revolving
Credit Lender as contemplated by (S)2.8 and (S)12.5. Each Swing Loan, once so
sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this
Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Revolving Credit
Lender under its Revolving Credit Commitment.

      (S)2.6 Interest on Loans.

            (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period
commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such
Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum
equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

            (b) Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period
commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each
Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of
LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

            (c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

            (d) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans
of the other Type as provided in (S)4.1.


                                       32
<PAGE>

      (S)2.7 Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. Except with respect to the
initial Revolving Credit Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to
the Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit H hereto (or telephonic notice
confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit H hereto) of each Revolving Credit
Loan requested hereunder (a "Loan Request") by 9:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the
Business Day of the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Base
Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with
respect to Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify
with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal
amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the
initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan and the
Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to
the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in
accordance with the terms of (S)2.9), (ii) a certification by the chief
financial officer or chief accounting officer of the Borrower that the Borrower
and the Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the
Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Loan, and (iii) a
current calculation of the Borrowing Base with such supporting information as
the Agent may require adjusted in the best good faith estimate of the Borrower
to give effect to the proposed advance. Promptly upon receipt of any such
notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof.
Except as provided in this (S)2.7, each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable
and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the
Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the
proposed Drawdown Date; provided that, in addition to the Borrower's other
remedies against any Revolving Credit Lender which fails to advance its
proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan, such Loan Request may
be revoked by the Borrower by notice received by the Agent no later than the
Drawdown Date if any Revolving Credit Lender fails to advance its proportionate
share of the requested Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; and provided further that the Borrower shall be liable in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to any Revolving Credit Lender which
is prepared to advance its proportionate share of the requested Revolving Credit
Loan for any costs, expenses or damages actually incurred by such Revolving
Credit Lender as a result of the Borrower's election to revoke such Loan
Request. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against
any Revolving Credit Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a
requested Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request
shall be (a) for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount
of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or (b) for
a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000
or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that
there shall be no more than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans (including Revolving
Credit LIBOR Rate Loans and Term LIBOR Rate Loans) outstanding at any one time.

      (S)2.8 Funds for Revolving Credit Loans.

            (a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown
Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders will
make available to the Agent, at the Agent's Head Office, in immediately
available funds, the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of


                                       33
<PAGE>

the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans which may be disbursed
pursuant to (S)2.2. Upon receipt from each Revolving Credit Lender of such
amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by (S)10 and (S)11 and the
satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent
applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount
of such Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Agent by the Revolving
Credit Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower
maintained at the Agent's Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Revolving
Credit Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on
any Drawdown Date the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of
the requested Revolving Credit Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving
Credit Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the
Agent the amount of such other Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loans, including any
additional Revolving Credit Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and
conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the
Revolving Credit Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure
or refusal, the Revolving Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be
entitled to a priority secured position as against the Revolving Credit Lender
or Revolving Credit Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the
Borrower the amount of its or their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage for
such Revolving Credit Loans as provided in (S)12.5.

            (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving
Credit Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Revolving Credit
Lender will not make available to Agent such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of a proposed Revolving Credit Loan, Agent may in
its discretion assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such Revolving
Credit Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption
make such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Borrower, and such Revolving
Credit Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If
such Revolving Credit Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the
Agent's demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent
shall also be entitled to recover from the Revolving Credit Lender or the
Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect
of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the
Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate
for such Revolving Credit Loan or (ii) from a Revolving Credit Lender at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate.

      (S)2.9 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans
and the Letters of Credit solely to (a) refinance Indebtedness under the
Original Revolving Credit Agreement and the Original Term Loan Agreement; (b)
provide financing for the acquisition and development by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries of Real Estate utilized or to be utilized for retail shopping
centers; (c) for capital improvement projects for Real Estate; (d) for working
capital purposes or other lawful REIT purposes; and (e) for such other purposes
as the Required Lenders in their sole discretion from time to time may agree in
writing.

      (S)2.10 Letters of Credit.

            (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is
thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such
Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written
request in the form of Exhibit I hereto (a "Letter of Credit Request") to the
Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the
Outstanding Letters of Credit (including Letters of Credit accepted but unpaid)
shall not exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), (iii) in no event
shall the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding, (B) the sum of
Swing Loans Outstanding and (C) the amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding
(after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested and any Letters of
Credit accepted but unpaid) exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv)
the conditions set forth in (S)(S)10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, and (v)
in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for
reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. Each Letter
of Credit Request shall be executed by an officer of Borrower. The Issuing
Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person's authority to
request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have
no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of
Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the
Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Lenders otherwise
consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time
commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which
is fifteen (15) days prior to the Maturity Date (but in any event the term shall
not extend beyond the Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn under any
Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available
to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.

            (b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing
Lender at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing
Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit
is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a
statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which
purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a
certification by the chief financial or chief accounting officer of Borrower
that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan
Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional
applications and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with
the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection
with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any
conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

            (c) The Issuing Lender shall, if it approves of the content of the
Letter of Credit Request (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld),
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of
Credit on or before ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the documents
last due pursuant to (S)2.10(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable
discretion. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing


                                       35
<PAGE>

Lender shall provide notice of the issuance of such Letter of Credit to the
Revolving Credit Lenders and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to
any Revolving Credit Lender that requests a copy.

            (d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit
Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing
Lender in an amount equal to its respective Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Revolving Credit Lender's
obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other
Revolving Credit Lender's failure to perform as required herein with respect to
such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

            (e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fee
calculated at the rate of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be
less than $1,000.00 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving
Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective percentage shares of
participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Revolving
Credit LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with
respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter
following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof
thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of
Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own
account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance,
documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time
by Issuing Lender.

            (f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit
by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by
having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate
Loan under this Agreement and the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving
Credit Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or
other similar means of transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall
promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender's own
account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount
drawn). If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such
amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such
Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on
demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such
draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the
Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1%
for each day thereafter. Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed
to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its
Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in


                                       36
<PAGE>

Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund
the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Revolving Credit Lender was
required to fund pursuant to this (S)2.10(f) until such amount has been funded
(as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure
or refusal, the Revolving Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be
entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in (S)12.5.
The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent
in such amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this
(S)2.10(f).

            (g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to
(S)2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion
thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, one of the events described in (S)12.1(h),
(i) or (j) shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date
such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to (S)2.10(f) was to have been made,
purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such
Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the
Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation
and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Revolving
Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of
receipt of such funds and in such amount.

            (h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from
any Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lender's payment of funds
under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment
on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Revolving
Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted
in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such
Revolving Credit Lender's participation interest was outstanding and funded);
provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing
Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to
the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing
Lender to it.

            (i) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal
or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the
same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

            (j) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of
any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither Agent, Issuing Lender
nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document
submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit,
even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure
of any beneficiary of any Letter of


                                       37
<PAGE>

Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment
under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or
from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or
the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and
(viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or
any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of
any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or the Lenders
hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of
any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, Issuing
Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will
not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability
to Borrower.

      (S)2.11 Extension of Maturity Date.

            (a) The Borrower has requested the ability to extend the Maturity
Date. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in
(S)2.11(b) below, the Lenders have no agreement or obligation to extend the
Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Lenders have
agreed upon the following procedure with respect to requests by the Borrower to
extend the Maturity Date:

                  (i) The Borrower may request that the Lenders extend the
Maturity Date by one (1) year. If the Borrower desires to request that the
Maturity Date be extended by one (1) year, the Borrower shall deliver written
notice of such request to the Agent not later than the date which is six (6)
months prior to the Maturity Date (an "Extension Request"). The Agent shall
promptly provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders. The Lenders shall
notify the Agent within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from the
Agent of such Lender's approval or rejection of the Extension Request and
whether such approval is conditioned upon a reduction in such Lender's
Commitment. Except as provided in (S)2.11(a)(iv), no Extension Request shall be
deemed approved unless approved by all of the Lenders without change in the
Commitments of each of the Lenders, which approval may be granted or withheld in
each Lender's sole and absolute discretion. In the event that a Lender shall
fail to respond in writing to the Agent within such thirty (30) day period, such
Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the Extension Request. The Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the responses received from the Lenders with
respect to the Extension Request.

                  (ii) If the total of the Commitments approved by the Lenders
to be extended is not less than eighty percent (80%) of the Total Commitment
(such amount as is not approved for extension is hereinafter referred to as the
"Extension Shortfall"), the Agent shall upon the request of the Borrower contact
additional financial institutions acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower in
their reasonable discretion (the "Potential Lenders") to determine their
interest in extending the Maturity Date and acquiring a portion of the Extension
Shortfall, and contact the Lenders which have approved the Extension Request to
determine their interest in extending the Maturity Date and increasing their
respective Commitments to cover a portion of the Extension Shortfall. The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Agent does not and cannot assure the
Borrower that the Potential Lenders which have approved the


                                       38
<PAGE>

Extension Request will acquire the Extension Shortfall, and neither the Agent
nor any Lender shall have any liability to the Borrower in the event that the
Potential Lenders do not agree to acquire the Extension Shortfall. The Agent
shall upon request from Borrower notify the Borrower, the Lenders and any
Potential Lenders of the amount of the total commitments obtained for the
provision of Loans to the Borrower during the requested extension period,
indicating the individual amount of commitments of the Agent, the Lenders and
any Potential Lenders, and any fees, additional covenants or other requirements
that are being required as a condition to such approval. The Agent shall reserve
the right to allocate such Commitments between the Lenders and any Potential
Lenders at its reasonable discretion (provided that no such allocation may
increase a Lender's Commitment without such Lender's approval); it being
acknowledged that the Agent shall not be required to approve an allocation of
Commitments which results in a Lender having a greater Commitment than that of
Agent.

                  (iii) The Borrower shall have ten (10) days after receipt of
such notification from the Agent of the response obtained from the Lenders and
any Potential Lenders to accept or reject such proposal in writing. Upon
acceptance by the Borrower of such proposal, the Borrower shall become obligated
to pay any fees required by the Agent and the Lenders with respect to such
extension. Any additional covenants or requirements required by the Agent or the
Lenders in connection with such extension shall be incorporated by such
amendments to the Loan Documents as the Agent may require as a condition to the
effectiveness of any Extension Request.

                  (iv) In the event that the total of the Commitments approved
by the Lenders to be extended is not less than eighty percent (80%) of the Total
Commitment and the Lenders or Potential Lenders shall not have acquired all of
the Extension Shortfall, then the Maturity Date shall be extended upon the terms
and conditions approved by those Lenders that have approved the extension
provided that on the then existing Maturity Date each of the Lenders whose
Commitment is included within the Extension Shortfall shall have received as a
prepayment of its Loans, all principal, interest, fees and other amounts due and
payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents.

                  (v) Nothing herein shall be deemed to require a Lender that
does not approve an Extension Request to assign its Commitment at any time prior
to the Maturity Date.

            (b) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and that the Maturity Date is not being extended as provided
in (S)2.11(a), the Borrower shall have the option, to be exercised by giving
written notice to the Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity
Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to extend
the Maturity Date by one (1) day to January 1, 2003. The request by the Borrower
for extension of the Maturity Date


                                       39
<PAGE>

pursuant to (S)2.11(b) shall constitute a representation and warranty by the
Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in this Section shall have been
satisfied on the date of such request and shall be satisfied on the then
existing Maturity Date. The obligations of the Agent and the Lenders to extend
the Maturity Date as provided in this (S)2.11(b) shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on the Maturity Date (without
regard to such extension request):

                  (i) No Default. On the date the extension request is given and
on the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) there
shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

                  (ii) Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties made by the Borrower or the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or
otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their
respective Subsidiaries in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall
have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be
true and correct in all material respects on the Maturity Date (as determined
without regard to such extension), except to the extent of changes resulting
from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents, it being understood and
agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a
specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such
specified date.

(S)3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

      (S)3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date
and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of
the Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon.

      (S)3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the sum of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and
the Letters of Credit Outstanding exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments, or the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving
Credit Loans, the Term Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit
Outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base, then the Borrower shall immediately pay
the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the
Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Loans as provided in (S)3.4,
together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to (S)4.8, except that the
amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender. In the
event there shall have occurred a casualty with respect to any Mortgaged
Property and the Borrower is required to repay the Loans pursuant to (S)7.7 or a
Taking and the Borrower is required to repay the Loans pursuant to a Mortgage or
(S)7.7, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans concurrently with the date of
receipt by the Borrower or the Agent of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds in respect of such casualty or Taking, as applicable, or as soon
thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in the amount required pursuant to the
relevant provisions of (S)7.7 or such Mortgage.

      (S)3.3 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right, at its
election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part,
at any time without


                                       40
<PAGE>

penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount
of any LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this (S)3.3 is made on a date that is not
the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be
accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to (S)4.8. The Borrower
shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Boston time, at least three (3)
days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this (S)3.3, in each
case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the applicable Revolving
Credit Loans or Term Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the
prepayment of any Swing Loan.

      (S)3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under
(S)3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued
interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment
under (S)3.2, (S)3.3 and (S)3.5 shall be applied first to the principal of any
Outstanding Swing Loans, then, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, to
the principal of Revolving Credit Loans, and then to the principal of the Term
Loans, and within each category, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans
within such category and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans within such
category. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any prepayment of the
Term Loans shall be accompanied by an equal reduction in the Revolving Credit
Commitments pursuant to (S)2.4 (and a corresponding prepayment of the Revolving
Credit Loans, if necessary).

      (S)3.5 Proceeds from Debt or Equity Offering. The Borrower shall cause the
gross proceeds of any Debt Offering or Equity Offering, less all reasonable
costs, fees, expenses, underwriting commissions, fees and discounts incurred in
connection therewith, to be paid by the Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, to
the Agent for the account of the Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans to the
Borrower within ten (10) days after the receipt thereof (or if a payment within
such period would require payment of amounts pursuant to (S)4.8, then such
payment shall be made at the first expiration of an Interest Period thereafter)
to be applied first to the then outstanding principal of the Loans in the same
manner as partial prepayments pursuant to (S)3.4 and then to accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loans.

      (S)3.6 Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans
prepaid under (S)3.2, (S)3.3 and (S)3.5 prior to the Maturity Date may be
reborrowed as provided in (S)2. Any portion of the Term Loan that is prepaid may
not be reborrowed.

(S)4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      (S)4.1 Conversion Options.

            (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan or
Term Loan, respectively, of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans or Term
Loan shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as
applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR
Rate Loan to a Base


                                       41
<PAGE>

Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day's
prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on
the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii)
with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan,
the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days' prior
written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan,
the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate
amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and,
after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than
eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans (including both Revolving Credit Loans and Term
Loans) outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a
LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term
Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial
conversion shall result in a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan or a Term Base Rate
Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or a Revolving Credit LIBOR
Rate Loan or Term LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $2,000,000
and that the principal amount of each Loan shall be in an integral multiple of
$100,000. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall
take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such
Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case
may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a
Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

            (b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the
expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the
Borrower with the terms of (S)4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be
continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last
day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any
Default or Event of Default.

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

      (S)4.2 Closing Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to Fleet certain fees for
services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided
pursuant to an Agreement Regarding Fees dated as of even date herewith between
the Borrower and Fleet. Fleet shall pay on the Closing Date to the other Lenders
a closing fee in accordance with their separate agreement.

      (S)4.3 Agent's Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the Agent's
own account, an annual Agent's fee as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees
dated of even date herewith between Borrower and Fleet. The Agent's fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the
immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof. The Agent's fee shall
also be paid upon the Maturity Date or earlier termination of the Commitments.
The Agent's fee for any partial quarter shall be prorated.


                                       42

      (S)4.4 Funds for Payments.

            (a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of
Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts
of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent's Head Office,
not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the day when due, in each case in
lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is
hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with Fleet, on the
dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of
the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and
other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders (including the Swing Loan
Lender) under the Loan Documents.

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

            (c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States, if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as
such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower with
such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from time to time, be
prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income
tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such
Lender, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect
under (i) or (ii) above, indicates the withholding status of such Lender;
provided that nothing herein (including without limitation the failure or
inability to provide such form or statement) shall relieve the Borrower of its
obligations under (S)4.4(b). In the event that the Borrower shall have delivered
the certificates or vouchers described above for any payments made by the
Borrower and such Lender receives a refund of any taxes paid by the Borrower
pursuant to (S)4.4(b), such Lender will pay to the Borrower the amount of such
refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter
such Lender is required to return such refund, the Borrower shall promptly repay
to such Lender the amount of such refund.


                                       43
<PAGE>

            (d) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this
Agreement (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing
Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without
limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan
Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or
any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of
Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates
may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of
Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such
transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to
the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person,
whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate,
statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to
be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of
any agreement between Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any
beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the
transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any
fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii)
payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of
a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have
constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing
Lender; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality,
validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the
failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of
Credit (if, in Issuing Lender's good faith judgment, such payment is determined
to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the
performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;
(xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other
circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have
been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
Issuing Lender.

      (S)4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of
other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid
for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the
definition of the term "Interest Period" with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans,
whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during
such extension. The Outstanding Loans as reflected on the records of the Agent
from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.


                                       44
<PAGE>

      (S)4.6 Inability to Determine LIBOR. In the event that, prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent
shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give
notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders.
In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and
(b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations
of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent
determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

      (S)4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any
present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other
governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending
Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances
to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to
make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans
then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last
day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such
earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before
giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending
office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will
not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to
such Lender. In the event that the applicable Lender shall be replaced pursuant
to (S)4.15, then to the extent the terms of this (S)4.7 are not otherwise
applicable, Borrower again shall be permitted to request LIBOR Rate Loans.

      (S)4.8 Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof
is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is
prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan,
or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in (S)12.1, the
Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable
Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (or to the
Swing Loan Lender with respect to a Swing Loan), in addition to any amounts of
interest otherwise payable hereunder, any amounts required to compensate such
Lenders for any losses, costs or expenses which may reasonably be incurred as a
result of such payment or conversion, including, without limitation, an amount
equal to daily interest for the unexpired portion of such Interest Period on the
LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof so repaid or converted at a per annum rate
equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the interest rate calculated on the basis of
LIBOR applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan (including any spread over LIBOR) minus
(b) the yield obtainable by the Agent upon the purchase of debt securities
customarily issued by the Treasury of the United States of America which have a
maturity date most closely approximating the last day of such Interest Period
(it being understood that the purchase of such securities shall not be required
in order for such amounts to be payable) and that a


                                       45
<PAGE>

Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually obtained funds at
LIBOR or to have actually reinvested such amounts as described above. Such
amount shall be reduced to present value by using the rate on the United States
Treasury Securities described in the foregoing sentence and the number of days
remaining in the unexpired portion of the Interest Period in question.

      (S)4.9 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used
herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations
thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body
or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and
requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time
hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any
central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having
the force of law), shall:

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

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

            (c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit,
reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements
(whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in
any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits
in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any
Lender, or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is:

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

                  (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other
amount payable to any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender's
Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or


                                       46
<PAGE>

                  (iii) to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment
or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which
payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the
gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the
Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of
demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and
from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such
Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall
determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent
for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum.
Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent.

      (S)4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines
that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline
regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change
in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority
charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its
parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such
entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has
the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such holding company' s
capital as a consequence of such Lender's commitment to make Loans or
participate in Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such
Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such holding company' s
then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full
utilization of such entity' s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be
material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees
to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as
and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a
statement of the amount setting forth the Lender's calculation thereof. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.

      (S)4.11 Indemnity of Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each
Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or
expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by
the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR
Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense
arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds
obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by the
Borrower in making a borrowing or a conversion after the Borrower has given (or
is deemed to have given) a Loan Request or a Conversion/Continuation Request.

      (S)4.12 Default Interest; Late Charge. Following the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the
Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans
shall bear interest


                                       47

payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) above the rate
that would otherwise be applicable at such time (the "Default Rate"), until such
amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). In addition,
the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of any amount
of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable
hereunder or under the Loan Documents, which is not paid by the Borrower within
ten (10) days of the date when due.

      (S)4.13 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable
pursuant to (S)4.8, (S)4.9, (S)4.10, (S)4.11 or (S)4.12 and a reasonably
detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or
the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

      (S)4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the
Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no
contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the
Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received
by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If,
from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the
Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the
Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law;
and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value
deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an
amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such
excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations,
such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be
paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until
payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any
renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period
shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section
shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the
Lenders and the Agent.

      (S)4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs. If a Lender gives
notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in (S)4.7 or any Lender
requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any
one or more of the provisions of (S)4.9 or (S)4.10, then, upon request of
Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner
consistent with such institution's practice in connection with loans like the
Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would
otherwise be payable by Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that
such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including,
without limitation, by designating another of such Lender's offices, branches or
affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and
expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has
given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in (S)4.7


                                       48
<PAGE>

or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be
reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of (S)4.9 or (S)4.10
(each, an "Affected Lender"), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or
request for payment or compensation, Borrower shall have the one-time right as
to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered
to the Agent and the Affected Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
notice, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment. The
Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the
Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the
Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro
rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the
Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the
Affected Lender's Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new
Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the
Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender's interest in the
Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall
terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly
execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such
interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender's Commitment shall equal
any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender,
including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

(S)5. COLLATERAL SECURITY.

      (S)5.1 Collateral. The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected
first priority lien to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on
the Mortgaged Properties, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgages, (ii) a
perfected first priority security interest to be held by the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders in the Leases pursuant to the terms of the Assignments of
Leases and Rents and (iii) the Indemnity Agreements and the other Security
Documents. The Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the Guaranty.

      (S)5.2 Appraisals. In connection with the initial syndication of the
Loans, Agent shall obtain appraisals of each of the Mortgaged Properties, which
shall be delivered within 120 days after the Closing Date. In addition, the
Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall obtain an appraisal of the Mortgaged
Property at any time that the regulatory requirements of a Lender generally
applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as
reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall require an appraisal. Borrower shall
pay the Agent on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of no more than one
(1) such appraisal per twelve (12) month period for any Mortgaged Property. Any
such appraisal obtained pursuant to this (S)5.2 shall be ordered by the Agent.

      (S)5.3 Replacement or Addition of Mortgaged Properties.

            (a) After the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right,
subject to the consent of the Required Lenders and the satisfaction by the
Borrower of the conditions set forth in this (S)5.3, to add Potential Collateral
to the Collateral or to replace any Mortgaged Property which is Collateral with
Potential Collateral. Subject to (S)9.8(e),


                                       49
<PAGE>

the Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date may also request that
certain Real Estate of one or more Guarantors (collectively, the "Guarantor
Collateral") be included as a Mortgaged Property for the purpose of increasing
the Borrowing Base or replacing existing Collateral. In the event the Borrower
desires to replace Collateral or add additional Potential Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide written notice to
the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the
Lenders), together with all documentation and other information required to
permit the Agent to determine whether such Real Estate is Eligible Real Estate.
Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the
receipt of such documentation and other information to advise the Borrower
whether the Required Lenders consent to the acceptance of such Guarantor
Collateral or Potential Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor
Collateral or Potential Collateral shall be included as Collateral unless and
until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

                  (i) such Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral shall be
Eligible Real Estate;

                  (ii) the owner of any Guarantor Collateral shall have executed
a Guaranty, or, in the Agent's reasonable discretion, shall have been added as
an additional Borrower hereunder pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and Agent's counsel;

                  (iii) the Borrower or the owner of the Guarantor Collateral or
Potential Collateral, as applicable, shall have executed and delivered to the
Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents (which may include an
Assignment of Interests with respect to any direct or indirect interests in the
owner of such Guarantor Collateral), all of which instruments, documents or
agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent
in its reasonable discretion; and

                  (iv) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Guarantor
Collateral or Potential Collateral, each of the representations and warranties
made by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their
respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which
it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the replacement or addition
of Mortgaged Properties, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time
(it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its
terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct
only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and the Agent shall have received a certificate of
the Borrower to such effect.

      The decision of the Required Lenders to grant or withhold their consent to
the acceptance of Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral under this (S)5.3
shall be based on the factors set forth in this (S)5.3 and the other provisions
of this Agreement relating to Eligible Real Estate and Mortgaged Properties.


                                       50
<PAGE>

      In connection with each such addition or substitution, the Borrower,
within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Borrower's request to add such assets
to the Collateral, shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a
review fee of $10,000.00 for each asset to be added or replaced, which review
fee shall be split equally among the Lenders, without regard to their respective
Commitment Percentages.

            (b) Borrower may, at its option, obtain preliminary approval of the
Required Lenders of Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral by delivering
to the Agent and each of the Lenders the following with respect to such
Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral:

                  (i) a physical description of the Real Estate;

                  (ii) current rent rolls, operating statements and an operating
and capital expenditure budget for such Real Estate reasonably satisfactory to
the Required Lenders;

                  (iii) to the extent then available in Borrower's files, a
Survey, environmental report, copies of existing title insurance policies,
engineering reports and similar information reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders; and

                  (iv) a certification to the knowledge of Borrower that such
Real Estate will satisfy (or is anticipated to satisfy upon the acceptance of
such Real Estate as Collateral) each of the other conditions to the acceptance
of Real Estate as Collateral. The Required Lenders shall have ten (10) Business
Days following receipt of all of the foregoing items to grant or deny
preliminary approval for such proposed Guarantor Collateral or Potential
Collateral. Agent shall notify the Borrower if and when the Required Lenders
have granted such preliminary approval. In the event that the Required Lenders
grant such preliminary approval, the Borrower shall satisfy the remaining
requirements to the acceptance of such Collateral as provided in (S)5.3(a). Such
Real Estate shall not be included in the Borrowing Base until the requirements
of (S)5.3(a) are satisfied.

      (S)5.4 Release of Mortgaged Property. Provided no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist
immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this
(S)5.4), the Agent shall release a Mortgaged Property from the lien or security
title of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of the
Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

            (a) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its
desire to obtain such release no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on
which such release is to be effected;

            (b) the Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request a
Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower
most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under (S)6.4 or
(S)7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of the Borrower to give effect
to the proposed release and


                                       51
<PAGE>

demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants
referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release;

            (c) all release documents to be executed by the Agent shall be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

            (d) the Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the
Agent in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees;

            (e) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
Lenders a release price, which payment shall be applied to reduce the
outstanding principal balance of the Loans as provided in (S)3.4, in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Borrowing Base value attributable to
such Mortgaged Property;

            (f) subject to Borrower's right to prepay the entire outstanding
amount of the Loans in whole, but not in part, at no time during the term of
this Agreement shall there be less than twenty five (25) Mortgaged Properties
securing the Obligations; and

            (g) any release of a Mortgaged Property will not cause the Borrower
to be in violation of the covenants set forth in (S)9.8.

      (S)5.5 Additional Guarantors. In the event that Borrower shall, after the
Closing Date, have an Investment in any Subsidiary in which Borrower directly or
indirectly owns a one hundred percent (100%) interest (including, without
limitation, any Subsidiaries owned by JDN Development Investment, L.P. and JDN
Holdings), Borrower shall cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to
Agent a Guaranty, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder;
provided, however, to the extent Borrower has an Investment in any such
Subsidiary which is established as a special purpose entity to own Real Estate
or equity interests related thereto and any loan documents, if any, to which any
new Subsidiary directly owning title to any Real Estate is a party prohibit such
new Subsidiary from guarantying the Obligations, Borrower shall not be obligated
to cause such new Subsidiary to become a Guarantor. Borrower further covenants
and agrees that Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary of Borrower that becomes a
Guarantor pursuant to this (S)5.5 to become a party to the Contribution
Agreement. The organizational agreements of each such Subsidiary created after
the Closing Date shall specifically authorize each such Subsidiary to guarantee
the Obligations and to execute the Contribution Agreement. Borrower shall
further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan
Documents with respect to Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each
such Subsidiary. In connection with the delivery of such Guaranty, Borrower
shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions,
consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may
reasonably require.

      (S)5.6 Release of Certain Subsidiary Guarantors. In the event that a
Subsidiary Guarantor shall transfer all of its assets for fair value and for
cash in the ordinary course of its business, then such Subsidiary Guarantor may
be released by Agent from liability


                                       52
<PAGE>

under the Guaranty provided that the Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence
satisfactory to Agent that (a) the Borrower will be in compliance with all
covenants of this Agreement after giving effect to such sale and release, (b)
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be legally dissolved after its release from the
Guaranty, and (c) the net cash proceeds from such sale are being distributed to
Borrower as part of such dissolution. The provisions of this (S)5.6 shall not
apply to JDN AL, JDN DCI, JDN Holdings, JDN LP, Inc. or any Guarantor which may
own a Mortgaged Property or any direct or indirect interest in a Mortgaged
Property.

      (S)5.7 Release of Collateral. Upon the refinancing or repayment of the
Obligations, then the Agent shall be entitled to release the Collateral from the
lien and security interest of the Security Documents and to release the
Guarantors, provided that Agent has not received a notice from the
"Representative" (as defined in (S)14.12) or the holder of the Hedge Obligations
that any Hedge Obligation is then due and payable to the holder thereof.

partner, officer, trustee, director, or any such employee has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, which are on terms less

any Employee Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan.

on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any document or instrument

material respects, or has been subsequently supplemented by other written

material respects; provided that such representation shall not apply to (a) the
accuracy of any engineering and environmental


                                       57
<PAGE>

reports prepared by third parties or legal conclusions or analysis provided by
the Borrower's and/or Guarantors' counsel (although the Borrower and the
Guarantors have no reason to believe that the Agent and the Lenders may not rely
on the accuracy thereof) or (b) budgets, projections and other forward-looking
speculative information prepared in good faith by the Borrower (except to the
extent the related assumptions were when made manifestly unreasonable).

      (S)6.18 Trade Name; Place of Business. Neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor uses any trade name and conducts business under any name other than

Real Estate acquired after the date hereof, the environmental site assessment
reports with respect thereto provided to the Agent, makes the following
representations and warranties:

violation, of any judgment, decree, order, law, license, rule or regulation
pertaining to environmental matters, including without limitation, those arising

Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 as amended
("CERCLA"), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("SARA"),
the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances
Control Act, or any state or local statute, regulation, ordinance, order or
decree relating to the environment (hereinafter "Environmental Laws"), which
violation (i) involves Real Estate (other than the Mortgaged Properties) and
would have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) involves Mortgaged Property.

            (b) Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their respective
Subsidiaries has received notice from any third party including, without
limitation, any federal, state or local governmental authority, (i) that it has

a remedial investigation, removal or other response action pursuant to any
Environmental Law; or (iii) that it is or shall be a named party to any claim,
action, cause of action, complaint, or legal or administrative proceeding (in
each case, contingent or otherwise) arising out of any third party's incurrence
of costs, expenses, losses or damages of any kind whatsoever in connection with
the release of Hazardous Substances.

            (c) (i) No portion of the Real Estate has been used for the

event in compliance with all Environmental Laws) (a "Release") or threatened

which Release would have a material adverse effect on the value of such
Mortgaged Properties or adjacent properties, or from any other Real Estate,
which Release could have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) except as set forth on
Schedule 6.20 hereto, there have been no Releases on, upon, from or into any
real property in the vicinity of any of the Real Estate which, through soil or
groundwater contamination, may have come to be located on, and which would have
a material adverse effect on the value of, the Real Estate; and (v) any
Hazardous Substances that have been generated on any of the Real Estate have

The representation set forth in this (S)6.20(c) with respect to activities of
lessees and other third parties unrelated to Borrower or any Guarantor shall be
limited to the best knowledge and belief of the Borrower.

            (d) None of the Borrower, any Guarantor, their respective
Subsidiaries nor the Real Estate is subject to any applicable Environmental Law
requiring the performance of Hazardous Substances site assessments, or the
removal or remediation of Hazardous Substances, or the giving of notice to any
governmental agency or the recording or delivery to other Persons of an
environmental disclosure document or statement in each case by virtue of the
transactions set forth herein and contemplated hereby, or as a condition to the
recording of the Mortgages or to the effectiveness of any


                                       59
<PAGE>

other transactions contemplated hereby except for such matters that shall be
complied with as of the Closing Date.

            (e) There are no existing or closed sanitary landfills, solid waste
disposal sites, or hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities on
or affecting the Real Estate.

            (f) There has been no claim by any party that any use, operation, or
condition of the Real Estate has caused any nuisance or any other liability or
adverse condition on any other property which could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any knowledge of any basis for such
a claim.

            (g) In the event that any event or circumstance described in (S)6.20
shall occur with respect to any Real Estate of Borrower, Guarantor or their
respective Subsidiaries after the date hereof that Borrower is permitted to
address pursuant to (S)8.6, such event or circumstance shall not constitute a
misrepresentation of Borrower at any time the representations and warranties
under this (S)6.20 are repeated or deemed repeated; provided further that the
foregoing shall not limit the requirement that such representations with respect
to Mortgaged Properties be correct when such properties are accepted as
Collateral.

      (S)6.21 Subsidiaries. Schedule 6.21(a) sets forth, as of the date hereof,
all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the Guarantors, the form and
jurisdiction of organization of each of the Subsidiaries, and the owners of the
direct and indirect ownership interests therein. Schedule 6.21(b) sets forth, as
of the date hereof, all of the Affiliates of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
that are not also Subsidiaries, the form and jurisdiction of organization of
each of the Affiliates, the Borrower's or its Subsidiary's ownership interest
therein and the other owners of the applicable Affiliates. No Person owns any
legal, equitable or beneficial interest in any of the Persons set forth on
Schedules 6.21(a) and 6.21(b) except as set forth on such Schedules.

      (S)6.22 Leases. The Borrower has delivered to the Agent true copies of the
Leases relating to each Mortgaged Property required to be delivered as a part of
the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents as of the date hereof. An
accurate and complete Rent Roll and Lease Summary as of the date of inclusion of
each Mortgaged Property in the Collateral with respect to all Leases of any
portion of the Mortgaged Property has been provided to the Agent. The Leases
reflected on such Rent Roll constitute as of the date thereof the sole
agreements relating to leasing or licensing of space at such Mortgaged Property
and in the Building relating thereto. No Major Tenant is entitled to any free
rent, partial rent, rebate of rent payments, credit, offset or deduction in
rent, including, without limitation, lease support payments or lease buy-outs,
except as reflected in such Rent Roll. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.22, the
Leases reflected therein are, as of the date of inclusion of the applicable
Mortgaged Property in the Collateral, in full force and effect in accordance
with their respective terms, without any payment default or any other material
default thereunder, nor are there any defenses, counterclaims, offsets,
concessions or rebates available to any tenant thereunder, and neither the
Borrower nor any Guarantor has given or made, any notice of any payment or other
material default, or


                                       60
<PAGE>

any claim, which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with respect to any of the
Leases, and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Borrower, there is no
basis for any such claim or notice of default by any tenant. No property other
than the Mortgaged Property which is the subject of the applicable Lease is
necessary to comply with the requirements (including, without limitation,
parking requirements) contained in such Lease.

      (S)6.23 Property. All of the Mortgaged Properties are in good condition
and working order subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty and
condemnation permitted in the Loan Documents. All of the other Real Estate of
the Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries is in good condition
and working order subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty and
condemnation permitted in the Loan Documents, except for such portion of such
Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant and where such failure would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Real Estate, and the use and operation
thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable zoning, building codes
and other applicable governmental regulations. There are no unpaid or
outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any of the
Mortgaged Properties which are payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor (except
only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or
are being protested as permitted by this Agreement). There are no unpaid or
outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other
property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries
which are payable by any of such Persons in any material amount (except only
real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are
being protested as permitted by this Agreement). There are no pending eminent
domain proceedings against any property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their
respective Subsidiaries or any part thereof, and, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened or contemplated by any
taking authority which may individually or in the aggregate have any Material
Adverse Effect. None of the property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their
respective Subsidiaries is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion,
accident, flood or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the
aggregate would have any Material Adverse Effect.

      (S)6.24 Brokers. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder
or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated
hereunder.

      (S)6.25 Other Debt. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries is in default of the payment of any Indebtedness in an
amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000.00 or the performance of any related
agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement,
indenture or lease to which any of them is a party. Neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that
may require the subordination in right or time or payment of any of the
Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or any
Guarantor. Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all agreements, mortgages, deeds of
trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the
Borrower and each Guarantor or their respective properties and entered into by
the Borrower and/or such Guarantor as of the date of this Agreement with respect
to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor in an amount equal to or
greater than


                                       61
<PAGE>

$1,000,000.00, and the Borrower has provided the Agent with true, correct and
complete copies thereof.

      (S)6.26 Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including all Loans made or to be made hereunder, neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such
Person's assets exceeds the sum of such Person's liabilities, the Borrower and
each Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and the Borrower and
each Guarantor has sufficient capital to carry on its business.

      (S)6.27 No Bankruptcy Filing. None of the Borrower or any Guarantor is
contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or property, and
the Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such
petition against it or any Guarantor.

      (S)6.28 No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions
required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by the Borrower or any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with or as a result of any
actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to
which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.

      (S)6.29 Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower; Consideration. The
transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the
best interests of the Borrower, each Guarantor, their respective Subsidiaries
and the creditors of such Persons. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to
the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute
substantially more than "reasonably equivalent value" (as such term is used in
(S)548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and "valuable consideration," "fair value," and
"fair consideration," (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent
conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower,
the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to
guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing
contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor
and their respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and
expand their business.

      (S)6.30 Contribution Agreement. The Borrower and the Guarantors have
executed and delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution
Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of such parties
enforceable against them in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof,
except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of
creditors' rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of
specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the
court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

      (S)6.31 Reaffirmation of Representations. Borrower hereby restates and
reaffirms each of the representations and warranties made by Borrower or any
Guarantor set forth in the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents as if
the same were fully set forth herein.

(S)7. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

Subsidiaries shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders,
(x) make any material change to the accounting procedures used by such Person in
preparing the financial statements and other information described in (S)6.4 or

reasonably request to complete a financial analysis of the Borrower and its


                                       63

thereto, property inspection and environmental reports and information as to
zoning and other legal and regulatory


                                       65
<PAGE>

changes affecting the Borrower or any Guarantor) as the Agent may reasonably
request. Information concerning such litigation or settlement discussions shall
not include attorney-client privileged communications, but shall otherwise
include information which may be confidential or subject to a work-product
privilege so that the Agent and the Lenders receive the same level of disclosure
from the Borrower with respect to such matters as has been made prior to the
Closing Date.

      (S)7.5 Notices.

            (a) Defaults. The Borrower will immediately upon becoming aware of
same notify the Agent in writing of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, which notice shall describe such occurrence with reasonable specificity
and shall state that such notice is a "notice of default". If any Person shall
give any notice or take any other action in respect of a claimed default
(whether or not constituting an Event of Default) under this Agreement or under
any note, evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other obligation to which or
with respect to which the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries is a party or obligor, whether as principal or surety, and such
default would permit the holder of such note or obligation or other evidence of
indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof, which acceleration would either
cause a Default or have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall forthwith
give written notice thereof to the Agent and each of the Lenders, describing the
notice or action and the nature of the claimed default.

            (b) Environmental Events. The Borrower will give notice to the Agent
within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of (i) any potential or known
Release, or threat of Release, of any Hazardous Substances in an amount that may
be required to be contained, removed or otherwise remediated at or from any Real
Estate; (ii) any violation of any Environmental Law that the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries reports in writing or is
reportable by such Person in writing (or for which any written report
supplemental to any oral report is made) to any federal, state or local
environmental agency or (iii) any inquiry, proceeding, investigation, or other
action, including a notice from any agency of potential environmental liability,
of any federal, state or local environmental agency or board, that in either
case involves (A) any Mortgaged Property, (B) any other Real Estate and could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (C) or the Agent's
liens or security title on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.

            (c) Notification of Claims Against Collateral. The Borrower will
give notice to the Agent in writing within five (5) Business Days of becoming
aware of any material setoff, claims (including, with respect to the Mortgaged

Collateral, are subject.

notice to the Agent in writing within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware
of any litigation or proceedings threatened in writing or any pending litigation
and proceedings affecting the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or to which


                                       66
<PAGE>

the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is or is to
become a party involving an uninsured claim against any of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and stating the nature and status of
such litigation or proceedings. The Borrower and each Guarantor will give notice
to the Agent, in writing, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the
Agent and each of the Lenders, within ten days of any judgment not covered by
insurance, whether final or otherwise, against any of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries in an amount in excess of
$1,000,000.

            (e) Notice of Proposed Sales, Encumbrances, Refinance or Transfer of
Non-Mortgaged Property. The Borrower will give notice to the Agent of any
completed sale, encumbrance, refinance or transfer of any Real Estate (other
than the Mortgaged Properties) or other Investments of the type described in
(S)8.3(i) of the Borrower, any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries within
any fiscal quarter of Borrower, such notice to be submitted together with the
Compliance Certificate provided or required to be provided to the Agent and the
Lenders under (S)7.4 with respect to such fiscal quarter. The Compliance
Certificate shall with respect to any completed sale, encumbrance, refinance or
transfer be adjusted in the best good faith estimate of Borrower to give effect
to such sale, encumbrance, refinance or transfer and demonstrate that no Default
or Event of Default with respect to the covenants referred to therein shall
exist after giving effect to such sale, encumbrance, refinance or transfer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any sale, encumbrance, refinance
or transfer of any Real Estate or other Investment of the type described in
(S)8.3(i) involving Real Estate or such other Investment in an amount in excess
of $50,000,000.00, the Borrower shall promptly give notice to the Agent of such

adjusted as provided in this paragraph.

            (f) ERISA. The Borrower will give notice to the Agent within five
(5) Business Days after the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate (i) gives or is

Plan or Employee Benefit Plan, or knows that the plan administrator of any such
plan has given or is required to give notice of any such reportable event; (ii)
gives a copy of any notice of complete or partial withdrawal liability under

            (a) The Borrower will preserve and keep in full force and effect its
existence as a Maryland corporation. Each Guarantor will preserve and keep in
full force and effect its legal existence in the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or formation. The Borrower and each Guarantor will cause each of
their respective Subsidiaries to preserve and keep in full force and effect
their legal existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation. The
Borrower will preserve and keep in full force all of its rights and franchises
and those of its Subsidiaries, the preservation of which is necessary to the
conduct of their business. Borrower shall at all times comply with all
requirements and applicable laws and regulations necessary to maintain REIT
status. The common stock of Borrower shall at all times be listed for trading
and be traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), unless otherwise consented
to by the Required Lenders. The Borrower shall continue to own directly or
indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of the Guarantors.

            (b) The Borrower (i) will cause all of its properties and those of
its Subsidiaries used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business
of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and
working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary
equipment, and (ii) will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof in all cases in which the
failure so to do would have a material adverse effect on the condition of any
Mortgaged Property or would cause a Material Adverse Effect. Without limitation
of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the
maintenance of the Mortgaged Properties, the Borrower shall promptly and
diligently comply with the recommendations of the Environmental Engineer
concerning the maintenance, operation or upkeep of the Mortgaged Properties
contained in the building inspection and environmental reports delivered to the
Agent or otherwise obtained by Borrower or any Guarantor.

            (c) In the event that Borrower obtains a Qualifying Rating for the
purposes of determining the Applicable Margin, Borrower shall at all times
thereafter pay such monitoring, surveillance or similar fees as may be required
by the applicable Rating Agency to continue to monitor the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall upon the request of Agent provide evidence to Agent of the
payment thereof.

      (S)7.7 Insurance.

            (a) The Borrower will procure and maintain or cause to be procured
and maintained (i) insurance covering the Borrower and the Guarantors and their
respective Subsidiaries, the Mortgaged Properties and their respective
properties (the cost of such insurance to be borne by the insured thereunder)
with financially sound and reputable insurers (or self-insurance provided by
creditworthy tenants) in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as
are customary for properties of similar character and location, due regard being
given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction, location, use and
occupancy, and (ii) such insurance as is required by the Security Documents.


                                       68
<PAGE>

            (b) The Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall pay all premiums
on insurance policies. The liability insurance policies with respect to all
Mortgaged Properties shall name the Agent and each Lender as an additional
insured.

            (c) In the event of any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property,
the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the
insurance carrier and the Agent. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent, at the Agent's option and in the
Agent's sole discretion or at the request of the Required Lenders in their sole
discretion, as its attorney in fact, to make proof of such loss, to adjust and
compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any
action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive Insurance
Proceeds, and to deduct therefrom the Agent's expenses incurred in the
collection of such Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the
Borrower or any Guarantor shall in good faith diligently pursue such claim, the
Borrower or such Guarantor may make proof of loss and appear in any proceedings
or negotiations with respect to the adjustment of such claim, except that the
Borrower or such Guarantor may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim
without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that the Borrower or such
Guarantor may make proof of loss and adjust and compromise any claim under
casualty insurance policies which is in an amount less than $500,000 so long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the
Borrower or such Guarantor shall in good faith diligently pursue such claim. The
Borrower and each Guarantor further authorize the Agent, at the Agent's option,
to (i) apply the balance of such Insurance Proceeds to the payment of the
Obligations whether or not then due, or (ii) if the Agent shall require the
reconstruction or repair of the Mortgaged Property, to hold the balance of such
proceeds as trustee to be used to pay taxes, charges, sewer use fees, water
rates and assessments which may be imposed on the Mortgaged Property and the
Obligations as they become due during the course of reconstruction or repair of
the Mortgaged Property and to reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor, in
accordance with such terms and conditions as the Agent may prescribe, for the
costs of reconstruction or repair of the Mortgaged Property, and upon completion
of such reconstruction or repair to apply any excess to the payment of the
Obligations.

            (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Mortgages, the
Agent shall make net Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds available to
the Borrower or such Guarantor to reconstruct and repair the Mortgaged Property,
in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Agent may prescribe in the
Agent's discretion for the disbursement of the proceeds, provided that (i) the
cost of such reconstruction or repair is not estimated by the Agent to exceed
fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the damaged Building (as
reasonably estimated by the Agent), (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall have provided to
the Agent additional cash security in an amount equal to the amount reasonably
estimated by the Agent to be the amount in excess of such proceeds which will be
required to complete such repair or restoration, (iv) the Agent shall have
approved the plans and specifications, construction budget, construction
contracts, and construction schedule for such repair or restoration and
reasonably


                                       69
<PAGE>

determined that the repaired or restored Mortgaged Property will provide the
Agent with adequate security for the Obligations (provided that the Agent shall
not disapprove such plans and specifications if the Building is to be restored
to its condition immediately prior to such damage), (v) the Borrower or such
Guarantor shall have delivered to the Agent written agreements binding upon the
Major Tenants and not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining
tenants or other parties having present or future rights to possession of any
portion of the affected Mortgaged Property or having any right to require
repair, restoration or completion of the Mortgaged Property or any portion
thereof (determined by reference to those tenants in the aggregate occupying or
having rights to occupy not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Net
Rentable Area of the Building so damaged, excluding the portion leased by the
Major Tenants), agreeing upon a date for delivery of possession of the Mortgaged
Property or their respective portions thereof, to permit time which is
sufficient in the judgment of the Agent for such repair or restoration and
approving the plans and specifications for such repair or restoration, or other
evidence satisfactory to the Agent that none of such tenants or other parties
may terminate their Leases as a result of such casualty or as a result of having
a right to approve the plans and specifications for such repair or restoration,
(vi) the Agent shall reasonably determine that such repair or reconstruction can
be completed prior to the Maturity Date, (vii) the Agent shall receive evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it that any such restoration, repair or rebuilding
complies in all respects with any and all applicable state, federal and local
laws, ordinances and regulations, including without limitation, zoning laws,
ordinances and regulations, and that all required permits, licenses and
approvals relative thereto have been or will be issued in a manner so as not to
materially impede the progress of restoration, (viii) the Agent shall receive
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the insurer under such policies of
fire or other casualty insurance does not assert any defense to payment under
such policies against the Borrower, any Guarantor or the Agent, and (ix) with
respect to any taking or condemnation, Agent shall determine that following such
repair or restoration there shall be no more than the lesser of (i) a fifty
percent (50%) reduction in occupancy or rental income from the Mortgaged
Property so affected by such specific condemnation or taking (excluding any
proceeds from rental loss insurance or proceeds from such award allocable to
rent) or (ii) a fifteen percent (15%) reduction in occupancy or in rental income
from all of the Mortgaged Properties (excluding any proceeds from rental loss
insurance or proceeds of such award allocable to rent), after giving effect to
the current condemnation or taking and any previous condemnations or takings
which may have occurred. Any excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the
Borrower, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such
proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations, unless in either
case by the terms of the applicable insurance policy the excess proceeds are
required to be returned to such insurer. Any excess Condemnation Proceeds shall
be applied to the payment of the Obligations. In no event shall the provisions
of this section be construed to extend the Maturity Date or to limit in any way
any right or remedy of the Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder. If the Mortgaged Property is sold or the Mortgaged Property is
acquired by the Agent, all right, title and interest of the Borrower and any
Guarantor in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in
and to the proceeds thereof resulting from loss or damage to the


                                       70
<PAGE>

Mortgaged Property prior to the sale or acquisition shall pass to the Agent or
any other successor in interest to the Borrower or purchaser of the Mortgaged
Property.

            (e) The Borrower and the Guarantors will provide to the Agent for
the benefit of the Lenders Title Policies for all of the Mortgaged Properties of
such Person. Each Title Policy shall also contain, to the extent available, a
tie-in endorsement aggregating the insurance coverage provided under all of the
policies issued by the same title insurance company relating to the Borrower and
each Guarantor.

      (S)7.8 Taxes; Liens. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause
their respective Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid
and discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments
and other governmental charges imposed upon them or upon the Mortgaged
Properties or the other Real Estate, sales and activities, or any part thereof,
or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor,
materials or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon
any of its property or other Liens affecting any of the Collateral or other
property of Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries, provided
that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim need not be paid if the
validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect
to such property, neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest
therein would be in any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of such
proceeding and the Borrower, any such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary shall
have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP; and
provided, further, that forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to
foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor, the Borrower,
any such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary either (i) will provide a bond issued
by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent and sufficient to stay all such
proceedings or (ii) if no such bond is provided, will pay each such tax,
assessment, charge or levy.

      (S)7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower and the Guarantors
will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Lenders,
through the Agent or any representative designated by the Agent, at the
Borrower's expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of
the properties of the Borrower, each Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, to examine the books of account of the Borrower, each Guarantor
and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts
therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower,
any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to
the same by, their respective officers, all at such reasonable times and
intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and inspections more
often than once in any twelve (12) month period. The Lenders shall use good
faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the
interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of the
Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries.

      (S)7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The
Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective
Subsidiaries to, comply in


                                       71
<PAGE>

all respects with (i) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in
effect wherever its business is conducted, including all Environmental Laws,
(ii) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited
liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and
other charter documents and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to
which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (iv)
all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits
required by applicable laws and regulations for the conduct of its business or
the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a failure to so
comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. If any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any
officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or
required in order that the Borrower, any Guarantor or their respective
Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower, such
Guarantor or such Subsidiary will immediately take or cause to be taken all
steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or
license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof.

      (S)7.11 Further Assurances. The Borrower and each Guarantor will and will
cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the Agent and the
Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the
Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

      (S)7.12 Management. The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any
Guarantor to enter into any management agreement with a third party manager
after the date hereof for any Mortgaged Property without the prior written
consent of the Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Agent may
condition any approval of a new manager upon the execution and delivery to Agent
of collateral assignment of such management agreement to Agent and a
subordination of the manager's rights thereunder to the rights of the Agent and
the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

      (S)7.13 Leases of the Property. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor
will lease all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property or amend, supplement or
otherwise modify, terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or consent to
the assignment or subletting of, or grant any concessions to or waive the
performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee or licensee under, any now
existing or future Lease without the prior written consent of the Agent;
provided, however, with respect to (a) any Lease which covers less than 25,000
square feet of a Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or any Guarantor may enter
into leases, amend, supplement or otherwise modify, terminate or cancel, or
accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting of, or
granting concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of any
tenant, lessee or licensee under any such Lease in the ordinary course of
business consistent with sound leasing and management practices for similar
properties, or (b) any lease which covers 25,000 square feet or more of a
Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or any Guarantor may enter into an amendment or
modification of a Lease in the ordinary course of business consistent with sound
leasing and management practices provided that such amendment or modification
does not decrease any minimum rent, percentage rent or other financial
obligation of the


                                       72
<PAGE>

tenant thereunder, release any tenant or guarantor, shorten the term thereof,
increase landlord obligations, or otherwise materially modify such lease.

      (S)7.14 Business Operations. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their
respective Subsidiaries shall operate their respective businesses in
substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields and lines of
business as such business is now conducted and in compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

      (S)7.15 Registered Servicemark. Without the prior written consent of the
Agent, none of the Mortgaged Properties shall be owned or operated by the
Borrower or any Guarantor under any registered or protected trademark,
tradename, servicemark or logo. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent may
condition its consent to the use of any of the foregoing upon the granting to
the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of a perfected first priority security
interest therein.

      (S)7.16 Ownership of Real Estate. Without the prior written consent of
Agent, all Real Estate and all interests (whether direct or indirect) of the
Borrower, the Guarantors and any of their respective Subsidiaries in
income-producing real estate assets now owned or leased or acquired or leased
after the Closing Date shall be owned or leased directly by the Borrower;
provided, however that (i) subject to the restrictions contained in (S)8.3, the
Borrower shall be permitted to own or lease interests in Real Estate together
with other third party joint venture partners; (ii) any Subsidiary may acquire
Real Estate in a like-kind exchange of Real Estate of such Person; (iii) Real
Estate may be owned by Subsidiaries of the Borrower as permitted in (S)8.13 or
with respect to development permitted pursuant to (S)8.9; and (iv) a Subsidiary
of the Borrower which has developed income-producing real estate may continue to
own such property provided that the owner thereof is a Guarantor.

      (S)7.17 Distributions of Income to the Borrower. The Borrower shall cause
all of its Subsidiaries to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less
frequently than once each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, unless otherwise
approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions or
otherwise, all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its
Subsidiaries' use, operation, financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition
of their respective assets and properties after (a) the payment by each
Subsidiary of its debt service and operating expenses for such quarter and (b)
the establishment of reasonable reserves for the payment of operating expenses
not paid on at least a quarterly basis and capital improvements to be made to
such Subsidiary's assets and properties approved by such Subsidiary in the
ordinary course of business consistent with its past practices.

      (S)7.18 Limiting Agreements. Should the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of
their respective Subsidiaries enter into or modify any agreements or documents
pertaining to any existing or future Indebtedness or Debt Offering providing for
Indebtedness in excess of $500,000.00 or any Equity Offering, which agreements
or documents include covenants, whether affirmative or negative, or any other
provision which may have the same practical effect as any of the foregoing,
which are individually


                                       73
<PAGE>

or in the aggregate more restrictive against the Borrower, the Guarantors or
their respective Subsidiaries than those set forth in Articles 8 or 9 of this
Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent and, if requested by the
Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower, the Agent, and the Lenders shall
promptly amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to include some or
all of such more restrictive provisions as determined by the Agent or the
Required Lenders in their sole discretion, and the Borrower shall cause the
Guarantors to consent to such amendment. The Borrower agrees to deliver to the
Agent copies of any agreements or documents (or modifications thereof)
pertaining to existing or future Indebtedness, Debt Offering or Equity offering
of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries as the
Agent form time to time may request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this (S)7.18
shall not apply to covenants (whether affirmative or negative), warranties,
defaults or events of default (or any other provision which may have the same
practical effect as any of the foregoing) contained in any agreements or
documents evidencing or securing Indebtedness that relate only to specific Real
Estate that is collateral for such Indebtedness.

      (S)7.19 Interest Rate Contract. From and after the date of this Agreement,
the Borrower shall at all times maintain in full force and effect the Interest
Rate Contract described in (S)10.16. The Borrower shall upon the request of the

compliance with Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any

conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any Real Estate in any manner so
as to cause a Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate

which might give rise to liability under CERCLA or any other Environmental Law,
or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any
Hazardous Substances (except in compliance with all Environmental Laws).

      The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to:

                  (i) in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing
the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all


                                       78
<PAGE>

reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering
tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous
Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Mortgaged Properties
in violation of applicable Environmental Laws; and

                  (ii) if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which
any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate
or which may otherwise expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred
on the Real Estate (including without limitation any such Release or disposal
occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Real Estate by the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge
thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances
and remediation of the Real Estate in full compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent; provided, that
each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance
with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a
responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable
action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the satisfaction of
the Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency. The
Agent may engage its own Environmental Engineer to review the environmental
assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Release or disposal of Hazardous
Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on the Real Estate (except any
such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such
Real Estate by the Borrower or any Guarantor and disclosed in an environmental
assessment delivered to the Agent and the Lenders prior to the inclusion of such
Real Estate in the Collateral) and such Real Estate is a Mortgaged Property, the
Agent shall have the right to require that the Borrower provide to the Agent a
substitute Mortgaged Property which is Eligible Real Estate within ninety (90)
days of demand by the Agent in accordance with (S)5.3 or obtain the release of
such Mortgaged Property pursuant to (S)5.4.

      At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, or,
whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, at any time that the
Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a
Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be
legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise
may expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Mortgaged
Property, or that any of the Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with
Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, the Agent may
at its election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders) obtain such
environmental assessments of such Mortgaged Property prepared by an
Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of
evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the
soil or water at or adjacent to such Mortgaged Property and (ii) whether the use
and operation of such Mortgaged Property comply with all Environmental Laws to
the extent required by the Loan Documents. Environmental assessments may include
detailed visual inspections of such Mortgaged Property including, without
limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and
leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other
investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate


                                       79
<PAGE>

for a complete determination of the compliance of such Mortgaged Property and
the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. All such
environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower,
and shall be conducted to the extent reasonably practicable to minimize
disruption to the conduct of business at such Mortgaged Property.

      (S)8.7 Distributions. The Borrower will not make any Distributions which
would violate any of the following covenants:

            (a) The Borrower will not pay any Distribution to its shareholders
the amount of which, when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid by
it in the same fiscal quarter and the three immediately preceding fiscal
quarters, would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of its Funds from Operations
for such period; provided that the Borrower shall be permitted to pay an amount
in excess of such limit if necessary to permit the Borrower to maintain its REIT
Status, as evidenced by a certification of the chief financial officer of the
Borrower containing calculations in reasonable detail reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may,
subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement (including specifically,
but without limitation, those contained in (S)8.3(n) and (S)8.7(b)) make
Distributions (which shall not be included in the ninety-five percent (95%)
Funds from Operations test set forth in the preceding sentence) in order to
enable Borrower to repurchase common stock of Borrower so long as (i) any such
repurchase is made in Borrower's prudent business judgment, (ii) no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of any such
repurchase and (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result of
any such repurchase;

            (b) In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Borrower shall not make any Distributions other than the minimum
Distributions required under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of Borrower,
as evidenced by a certification of the chief financial officer of the Borrower
containing calculations in reasonable detail reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Agent; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled
to make any Distribution in connection with the repurchase of common stock of
Borrower at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
and

            (c) In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, the
Borrower shall not make any Distributions whatsoever, either directly or
indirectly.

      (S)8.8 Asset Sales. The Borrower will not, and will not permit its
Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any asset other than for
fair market value. In the event that such disposition is of Real Estate or
equity interests having a value greater than $50,000,000.00, a Compliance
Certificate demonstrating compliance with the covenants referred to therein
after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition.

      (S)8.9 Development Activity. The Borrower will not, and will not permit
its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, engage, directly or indirectly (including
through any


                                       80
<PAGE>

Affiliate in which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries owns a Minority Interest or
through other Investments), in the development of properties without the prior
written consent of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion; provided that
without the consent of the Required Lenders the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates may engage in the development of any number of
properties to be used principally for or relating to retail shopping centers
provided that the aggregate amount of Construction in Progress and Replacement
Property Development Loans without duplication at any time shall not exceed
thirty percent (30%) of the Consolidated Total Assets of Borrower. For purposes
of this (S)8.9, the term "development" shall include the new construction of a
shopping center or a substantial renovation or expansion of improvements to Real
Estate which materially change the character or size thereof. The Borrower will,
and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times that it is engaging in
any development as provided herein, maintain available sources of capital
acceptable to the Agent in its reasonable discretion equal to the total cost to
acquire and complete such developments and to purchase such properties except
where such a failure could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Amounts available to be disbursed for such purposes pursuant to this
Agreement may be considered as a source of capital for the purposes of this
(S)8.9.

      (S)8.10 Restriction on Prepayment of Indebtedness. The Borrower will not,
and will not permit its Subsidiaries to, (a) prepay, redeem, defease, purchase
or otherwise retire the principal amount, in whole or in part, of any
Indebtedness other than the Obligations and the Hedge Obligations after the
occurrence of any Event of Default, or (b) modify any document evidencing any
Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) to accelerate the maturity date of
such Indebtedness; provided, that this (S)8.10 shall not prohibit (x) the
prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely from the proceeds of a new
loan which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of (S)8.1; (y) the
prepayment of Indebtedness secured by Real Estate which is satisfied solely from
the proceeds of a sale of the Real Estate securing such Indebtedness; and (z)
the prepayment of the Indebtedness (not exceeding $4,500,000.00 in principal
amount) with respect to the Real Estate commonly known as Brown Deer in
connection with the redevelopment of such property.

      (S)8.11 Zoning and Contract Changes and Compliance. Neither the Borrower
nor any Guarantor shall initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of
any of its Mortgaged Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning
ordinance or use or permit the use of any Mortgaged Property in any manner that
could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning
ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation. Neither the
Borrower nor any Guarantor shall initiate any change in any laws, requirements
of governmental authorities or obligations created by private contracts and
Leases which now or hereafter may materially adversely affect the ownership,
occupancy, use or operation of any Mortgaged Property.

      (S)8.12 Derivative Obligations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall contract, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Derivative Obligations except the Interest Rate Contracts permitted pursuant to
(S)8.1.

      (S)8.13 Bankruptcy Remote Subsidiaries. Without the consent of the Agent,
neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall create any new single
purpose, special purpose or other so-called bankruptcy remote subsidiaries (such

reasonable discretion.

(S)9. FINANCIAL COVENANTS.

      The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any Loan, Note or
Letter of Credit is outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any
Loans or issue any Letter of Credit:

principal balance of the Loans and the Letters of Credit Outstanding to be
greater than the Borrowing Base.

      (S)9.2 Fixed Charge Coverage. Borrower will not permit the Adjusted

its Subsidiaries for the Test Period.

      (S)9.3 Secured Debt Ratio. Borrower will not permit the ratio of the Total

instruments, certificates, opinions, assurances, consents and approvals as the

(S)11. CONDITIONS TO ALL BORROWINGS.

      The obligations of the Lenders to make any Loan or issue any Letter of
Credit, whether on or after the Closing Date, shall also be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

      (S)11.1 Prior Conditions Satisfied. All conditions set forth in (S)10
shall continue to be satisfied as of the date upon which any Loan is to be made
or any Letter of Credit is to be issued.

      (S)11.2 Representations True; No Default. Each of the representations and
warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their
respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which
they were made and shall also be true in all material respects as of the time of
the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, with the same
effect as if made at and as of that time, except to the extent of changes
resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents (it being understood
and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of
a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such
specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

      (S)11.3 No Legal Impediment. No change shall have occurred in any law or
regulations thereunder or interpretations thereof that in the reasonable opinion
of any Lender would make it illegal for such Lender to make such Loan or issue
such Letter of Credit.

      (S)11.4 Governmental Regulation. Each Lender shall have received such
statements in substance and form reasonably satisfactory to such Lender as such
Lender shall require for the purpose of compliance with any applicable
regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

      (S)11.5 Proceedings and Documents. All proceedings in connection with such
Loan or Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and in
form to the Agent, and the Agent's counsel in form and substance and the Agent
shall have received all information and such counterpart originals or certified
or other copies of such documents and such other certificates, opinions,
assurances, consents, approvals or documents as the Agent and the Agent's
counsel may reasonably require.

      (S)11.6 Borrowing Documents. The Agent shall have received a fully
completed Loan Request for such Loan and the other documents and information
(including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate) as required by (S)2.7,
or a fully completed Letter of Credit Request required by (S)2.10 in the form of
Exhibit I hereto fully completed, as applicable.

      (S)11.7 Endorsement to Title Policy. At such times as Agent shall
determine in its discretion, to the extent available under applicable law, a
"date down" endorsement to each Title Policy indicating no change in the state
of title and containing no survey exceptions not approved by the Agent, which
endorsement shall, expressly or by virtue of a proper "revolving credit" clause
or endorsement in each Title Policy, increase the coverage of each Title Policy
to the aggregate amount of all Loans advanced and outstanding and Letters of
Credit issued and outstanding on or before the effective date of such
endorsement (provided that the amount of coverage under an individual Title
Policy for an individual Mortgaged Property need not equal the aggregate amount
of all Loans), or if such endorsement is not available, such other evidence and
assurances as the Agent may reasonably require (which evidence may include,
without limitation, an affidavit from the Borrower stating that there have been
no changes in title from the date of the last effective date of the Title
Policy).

      (S)11.8 Future Advances Tax Payment. As a condition precedent to any
Lender's obligations to make any Loans available to the Borrower hereunder, the
Borrower will pay to the Agent any mortgage, recording, intangible, documentary
stamp or other similar taxes and charges which the Agent reasonably determines
to be payable as a result of such Loan to any state or any county or
municipality thereof in which any of the Mortgaged Properties are located, and
deliver to the Agent such affidavits or other information which the Agent
reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with such payment in order
to insure that the Mortgages on Mortgaged Property located in such state secure
the Borrower's obligation with respect to the Loans then being requested by the
Borrower. The provisions of this (S)11.8 shall not limit the Borrower's
obligations under other provisions of the Loan Documents, including without
limitation (S)15 hereof.

(S)12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION; ETC.

      (S)12.1 Events of Default and Acceleration. If any of the following events
("Events of Default" or, if the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both is
required, then, prior to such notice or lapse of time, "Defaults") shall occur:

            (a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of the Loans when
the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stated date of maturity or

(S)9.2, (S)9.3, (S)9.4, (S)9.5, (S)9.6, (S)9.7 or (S)9.8 and such failure shall
continue for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given
to the Borrower by the Agent;

            (e) any of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries shall fail to perform any other term, covenant or agreement

Agreement, any advance of a Loan, the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any of
the other Loan Documents shall prove to have been false in any material respect
upon the date when made or deemed to have been made or repeated;

            (g) any of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their respective

Indebtedness, or (ii) shall fail to observe or perform any term, covenant or
agreement contained in any agreement by which it is bound, evidencing or
securing any obligation for borrowed money or credit received or other
Indebtedness for such period of time as would permit (assuming the giving of
appropriate notice if required) the holder or holders thereof or of any
obligations issued thereunder to accelerate the maturity thereof; provided that
the events described in this (S)12.1(g) shall not constitute an Event of Default
unless such failure to perform, together with other failures to perform as
described in this (S)12.1(g), involve singly or in the aggregate obligations for
borrowed money or credit received totaling in excess of $5,000,000.00;

            (h) any of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, (i) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
admit in writing its general inability to pay or generally fail to pay its debts
as they mature or become due, or shall petition or apply for the appointment of
a trustee or other custodian, liquidator or receiver for it or any substantial
part of its assets, (ii) shall commence any case or other proceeding relating to

furtherance of any of the foregoing;

            (i) a petition or application shall be filed for the appointment of

or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any substantial part of the assets of
any thereof, or a case or other proceeding shall be commenced against any such
Person under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any
jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, and any such Person shall indicate its

application, case or proceeding shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60)
days following the filing or commencement thereof;

            (j) a decree or order is entered appointing a trustee, custodian,
liquidator or receiver for any of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or adjudicating any such Person, bankrupt or insolvent,
or approving a petition in any such case or other proceeding, or a decree or
order for relief is entered in respect of any such Person in an involuntary case
under federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted;

            (k) there shall remain in force, undischarged, unsatisfied and
unstayed, for more than sixty (60) days, whether or not consecutive, one or more
uninsured or unbonded final judgments against any of the Borrower, the
Guarantors, or any of their respective Subsidiaries that, either individually or
in the aggregate, exceed $5,000,000;

            (l) any of the Loan Documents or the Contribution Agreement shall be

Agreement shall be commenced by or on behalf of any of the Borrower or the

judgment, order, decree or ruling, to the effect that any one or more of the
Loan Documents or the Contribution Agreement is illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in accordance with the terms thereof;

            (m) any dissolution, termination, partial or complete liquidation,
merger or consolidation of any of the Borrower or any Guarantor shall occur or
any sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets of any of the Borrower or
any Guarantor shall occur other than as permitted under the terms of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

            (n) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable
Event shall have occurred and the Required Lenders shall have determined in
their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to
result in liability of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their
respective Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an
aggregate amount exceeding $2,000,000 and such event in the circumstances
occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination of such
Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate
United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension
Plan; or a trustee shall have been appointed by the United


                                       89
<PAGE>

States District Court to administer such Plan; or the PBGC shall have instituted
proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

            (o) any suit or proceeding shall be filed against or with respect to
the Borrower, any Guarantor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any
Collateral which in the good faith business judgment of the Required Lenders
after giving consideration to the likelihood of success of such suit or
proceeding and the availability of insurance to cover any judgment with respect
thereto and based on the information available to them if adversely determined,
would have a materially adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to perform each and every one
of its obligations under and by virtue of the Loan Documents and such suit or
proceeding shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days following the
filing thereof;

            (p) the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or any Person so connected with any of them shall be indicted for a
federal crime, a punishment for which could include the forfeiture of (i) any
assets of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries which
in the good faith judgment of the Required Lenders could have a Material Adverse
Effect, or (ii) the Collateral;

            (q) any Guarantor denies that it has any liability or obligation
under the Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or shall notify the Agent or any
of the Lenders of such Guarantor's intention to attempt to cancel or terminate
the Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or shall fail to observe or comply with
any term, covenant, condition or agreement under the Guaranty or any other Loan
Document beyond any applicable cure period;

            (r) any Change of Control shall occur; or

            (s) an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents shall
occur;

then, and in any such event, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required
Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts owing
with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit and the other
Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the
event of any Event of Default specified in (S)12.1(h), (S)12.1(i) or (S)12.1(j),
all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and
without any requirement of presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent. Upon demand by Agent or the Required
Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, and regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement
for a Revolving Credit Loan have been satisfied, the Revolving Credit Lenders
will cause a Revolving Credit Loan to be made in the undrawn amount of all
Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit Loan will be
pledged to and held by Agent as security for any amounts that become payable
under the Letters of


                                       90
<PAGE>

Credit and all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations. In the alternative, if
demanded by Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Borrower will deposit with and pledge to Agent cash in an
amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. Such amounts will
be pledged to and held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for
any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other
Obligations and Hedge Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at
Agent's sole discretion, Agent may apply any such amounts to the repayment of
amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any
remaining amounts will be applied to the payment of all other Obligations and
Hedge Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations or Hedge
Obligations and Lenders have no further obligation to make Revolving Credit
Loans or issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such
proceeds deposited by Borrower will be released to Borrower. If at any time the
aggregate amount of funds pledged to Agent as collateral for such Letters of
Credit shall exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate face amount of
all amounts available to be drawn under such Letters of Credit (including any
amounts that may be reinstated thereunder), Agent shall release the amount of
such excess deposited by the Borrower to the Borrower.

      (S)12.2 Limitation of Cure Periods.

            (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in (S)12.1 to the contrary,
(i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure
described in (S)12.1(b) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within
five (5) days following receipt of written notice of such Default, provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be entitled to receive more than two (2)
notices in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days
ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further that
no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the
Notes, and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of
any failure described in (S)12.1(e) in the event that the Borrower cures such
Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such
default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to
defaults consisting of a failure to provide insurance as required by (S)7.7(a),
to any default consisting of a failure to comply with (S)7.4(c), (S)8.1, (S)8.2,
(S)8.4, (S)8.7(b), (S)8.7(c) or to any Default excluded from any provision of
cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents, and (iii) no
Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure
described in (S)8.7(a) resulting from events occurring after the declaration of
a Distribution and not reasonably anticipated by Borrower that cause Borrower's
estimate of its Funds from Operations to be incorrect, in the event that the
Borrower cures such Default on or before the end of the next fiscal quarter of
Borrower occurring after such Default.

            (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) and (d) of
(S)12.1, the cure period provided therein shall not be allowed and the
occurrence of a Default thereunder immediately shall constitute an Event of
Default for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents if,
within the period of twelve months immediately preceding the occurrence of such
Default, there shall have occurred two periods of cure or portions thereof under
any one or more than one of said subsections.


                                       91
<PAGE>

            (c) In the event that there shall occur any Default under
(S)12.1(c), then within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such
Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders the Borrower may elect to cure
such Default by providing additional Collateral consisting of Potential
Collateral, and/or to reduce the outstanding Loans to it, in which event such
actions shall be completed within such five (5) Business Day period (or within
thirty (30) days following the expiration of the initial five (5) Business Day
period in the event that the Borrower intends to provide additional Mortgaged
Property). The Borrower's notice of its election pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be delivered to the Agent within the period of five (5) Business
Days provided above, and if not so delivered Borrower's cure period shall
immediately terminate and such Default shall become an Event of Default. In the
event that Borrower elects to add additional Mortgaged Property and fails within
the time provided herein, the cure period shall terminate and such Default
immediately shall constitute an Event of Default. In the event that the Borrower
shall elect under (S)12.2(c) to provide additional Collateral consisting of
Potential Collateral, the Real Estate to be added to the Collateral shall be
Eligible Real Estate and on or prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day
period referred to above each of the Eligible Real Estate Qualification
Documents shall have been completed at the Borrower's expense and provided to
the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and all other conditions to the
acceptance of such Real Estate as a Mortgaged Property shall have been
satisfied.

            (d) In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects
only certain Mortgaged Property or the owner(s) thereof (if such owner is a
Guarantor), then within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such
Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders the Borrower may elect to cure
such Default by electing to remove such Mortgaged Property from the Borrowing
Base and by reducing the outstanding Loans by the amount of the Borrowing Base
attributable to such Mortgaged Property, or by substituting for such Mortgaged
Property additional Collateral consisting of Potential Collateral for the
Collateral to which such Default relates, in which event such actions shall be
completed within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the initial
five (5) Business Day period (or within thirty (30) days following the
expiration of the initial five (5) Business Day period in the event that the
Borrower intends to provide additional Mortgaged Property). The Borrower's
notice of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be delivered to
the Agent within the period of five (5) Business Days provided above, and if not
so delivered Borrower's cure period shall immediately terminate and such Default
shall become an Event of Default. In the event that Borrower elects to add
additional Mortgaged Property and fails within the time provided herein, the
cure period shall terminate and such Default immediately shall constitute an
Event of Default. In the event that the Borrower shall elect under (S)12.1(d) to
provide additional Collateral consisting of Potential Collateral, the Real
Estate to be added to the Collateral shall be Eligible Real Estate and on or
prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to above each of
the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents shall have been completed at
the Borrower's expense and provided to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
and all other conditions to the acceptance of such Real Estate as a Mortgaged
Property shall have been satisfied.


                                       92
<PAGE>

      (S)12.3 Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default
specified in (S)12.1(h), (S)12.1(i) or (S)12.1(j) shall occur, then immediately
and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion
of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all
obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. If any
other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent, upon the election of the
Required Lenders, shall by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to
make Loans and issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. No termination under
this (S)12.3 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations to the Lenders
arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

      (S)12.4 Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have
accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to (S)12.1, the Agent on behalf
of the Lenders may, with the consent of the Required Lenders but not otherwise,
proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at
law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by
applicable law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte
appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy
herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. If
Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained
in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable
period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed,
any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the
out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred (including attorneys'
fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable
by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall
if not paid within five (5) days after demand bear interest at the rate for
overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that all or any
portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the
Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorney's fees.

      (S)12.5 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies
are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Security
Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the
Collateral or other assets of Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be
distributed for application as follows:

            (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the
reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable costs, expenses,
disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by
the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the
collection of such monies by the Agent, for the


                                       93
<PAGE>

exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights,
remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support
of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens
which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or
the Lenders to such monies;

            (b) Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest,
expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy)
in such order or preference as the Required Lenders shall determine; provided,
that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of
such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, the Agent's fee
payable pursuant to (S)4.3; (iii) in the event that any Lender shall have
wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under (S)2.5(d), (S)2.7 or
(S)2.10(f) and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by
other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled
to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other
Obligations described in this subsection (b), and (iv) except as otherwise
provided in clause (ii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each
type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses (but excluding
the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders pro rata; and provided, further
that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take
into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

            (c) Third, to termination payments due with respect to the Hedge
Obligations; and

            (d) Fourth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or
to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

(S)13. SETOFF.

      Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of
any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand,
provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such
deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the
Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower
or the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may be applied to or set off
against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or
indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender. Each of the
Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the
Borrower or the Guarantors, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right
of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note
or Notes held by such Lender (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in
excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders
with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such
disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess,
either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or
otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held
by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that
if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered


                                       94
<PAGE>

from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the
amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(S)14. THE AGENT.

      (S)14.1 Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on
behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder
and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to
the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto,
provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or
therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of
the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an
agency or fiduciary relationship. The Borrower and any other Person shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the
authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

      (S)14.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and
execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to
take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its
rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent
may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine,
and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the
Borrower.

      (S)14.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders,
directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their
duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to any of the Lenders
for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be
taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the
consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the
Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due
to its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

      (S)14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the
other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to
constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such
collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any
amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements,
warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents
or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of
the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be
bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the
terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice,
consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or
any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true,
accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any
representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it


                                       95
<PAGE>

assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or
financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, or the value of the Collateral or any other assets of the Borrower
or the Guarantors. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such
information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

      (S)14.5 Payments.

            (a) A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender
shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to
each Lender not later than one Business Day after the Agent's receipt of good
funds, determined in accordance with the Agent's customary practices, such
Lender's pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the
Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts
within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such
amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time
to time in effect.

            (b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount
received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the
other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making
distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by
a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall
adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid,
each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either
repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be
repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be
determined by such court. In the event that the Agent shall refrain from making
any distribution of any amount received by it as provided in this (S)14.5(b),
the Agent shall endeavor to hold such amounts in an interest bearing account and
at such time as such amounts may be distributed to the Lenders, the Agent shall
distribute to each Lender, based on their respective Commitment Percentages, its
pro rata share of the interest or other earnings from such deposited amount.

            (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make
available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or (ii) to comply with the
provisions of (S)13 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with
the other Lenders, where such Lender's share of any payment received, whether by
setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and
payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent
required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a
"Delinquent Lender") and shall be deemed a Delinquent


                                       96
<PAGE>

Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender
shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the
Borrower or the Guarantors, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest,
fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to,
and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The
Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the
nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all
outstanding Loans. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full
a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments
to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Lenders or as a result of other
payments by the Delinquent Lenders to the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders'
respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in
effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the
nonpayment causing such delinquency.

      (S)14.6 Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of (S)18, the Agent may
deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof
for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a
different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

      (S)14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold
harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits
(whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including
any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as
required by (S)15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of
or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or
the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent's
actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same
shall be directly caused by the Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

      (S)14.8 Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, Fleet shall have the
same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its
Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it
would have were it not also the Agent.

      (S)14.9 Resignation; Removal. The Agent may resign at any time by giving
60 days' prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The
Required Lenders may remove the Agent from its capacity as Agent for failure to
perform its material obligations under this Agreement provided that the Required
Lenders shall have given prior written notice to the Agent of its failure to
perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement and such failure
shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of
notice of such failure (or such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such
thirty (30) day period, then within such longer period of time as may be
necessary to complete such cure so long as Agent commences such cure within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to
completion). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Lender or any financial
institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than "A2" or its
equivalent by Moody's or not less than "A2" or its equivalent by S&P and which
has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Unless a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or its
removal, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any financial
institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than "A2" or its


                                       97
<PAGE>

equivalent by Moody's or not less than "A" or its equivalent by S&P and which
has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as 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 or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent
thereafter arising. After any retiring or removed Agent's resignation or
removal, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

      (S)14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of
Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration
of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, if (a) so requested by
the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such
additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the
Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security
Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the
Collateral and exercise all or any such other legal and equitable and other
rights or remedies as it may have in respect of such Collateral. The Required
Lenders may direct, subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement among
the Agent and the Lenders, the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent
of any such sale or other disposition, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify
and hold the Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all
actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the
Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent
reasonably believes that the Agent's compliance with such direction to be
unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

      (S)14.11 Request for Agent Action. Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that
in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower, (a) Borrower and Guarantors
will enter into leases or rental agreements covering Mortgaged Properties that
may require the execution of a Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance
Agreement in favor of the tenant thereunder, (b) a Mortgaged Property may be
subject to a Taking, (c) Borrower or a Guarantor may desire to enter into
easements or other agreements affecting the Mortgaged Properties, or take other
actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which
similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of the Agent. In connection
with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agent to (w)
execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Guarantors Subordination, Attornment
and Non-Disturbance Agreements with any tenant under a Lease upon such terms as
Agent in its good faith judgment determines are appropriate (Agent in the
exercise of its good faith judgment may agree to allow some or all of the
casualty, condemnation, restoration or other provisions of the applicable Lease
to control over the


                                       98
<PAGE>

applicable provisions of the Loan Documents), (x) execute releases of liens in
connection with any Taking, (y) execute consents or subordinations in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent in connection with any easements or agreements
affecting the Mortgaged Property, or (z) execute consents, approvals, or other
agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with
such other actions or agreements as may be necessary in the ordinary course of
Borrower's business.

      (S)14.12 Reliance on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments
received in accordance with (S)12.5, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon
the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a
"Representative") or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder
of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of the Hedge
Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the
outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof. Unless it has actual
knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary,
the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge
Obligations are outstanding.

(S)15. EXPENSES.

      The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and
reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements
and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any taxes (including any interest and
penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent or any of the Lenders (other

Documents against the Borrower or the Guarantors or the administration thereof

proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related

Guarantors, (g) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent
incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC filings, title rundowns, title

(S)16. INDEMNIFICATION.

Lenders and each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who controls the

Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any

any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to
wrongful death, personal injury, nuisance or damage to property), in each case
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other

therefor, the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to select a single law
firm as their own counsel and, in


                                      100
<PAGE>

addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the
obligations of the Borrower under this (S)16 are unenforceable for any reason,
the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in
satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The
provisions of this (S)16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the
termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.

(S)17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.

      All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in
the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other
papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of
their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have
been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the
Lenders of any of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full
force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or
any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit
remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue
any Letters of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided
herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of
amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and
thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained
in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on
behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries
pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall
constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder.

(S)18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

      (S)18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein,
each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion
of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of
the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a)
the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the
Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that (i)
such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a
lender which is and remains under common control with the assigning Lender or to
a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender, provided that such assignee shall
remain a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender, and (ii) the consent of Agent
shall not be required if an Event of Default exists and is continuing so long as
the assignee is an institutional lender), (b) each such assignment shall be of a
constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (c) the parties to such assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter

hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event
shall any voting, consent or approval rights of a Lender


                                      101
<PAGE>

be assigned to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control
with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower
or any Guarantor, which rights shall instead be allocated pro rata among the
other remaining Lenders, (e) if such assignee is to become a Revolving Credit
Lender, such assignee shall have a net worth or unfunded commitments as of the
date of such assignment of not less than $200,000,000, unless waived by the
Agent and the Borrower, (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans
of not less than $5,000,000 (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor),

hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the
registration fee referred to in (S)18.2, be released from its obligations under
this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect
to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1 to reflect such
assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and
warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such
assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not
otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Agent shall at any time hold
a Commitment less than $40,000,000.00, then such Agent shall promptly provide
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Required Lenders shall have the
right, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days of delivery of such notice by
such Agent, to elect to remove such Agent as Agent and replace such Agent as
Agent under the Loan Documents, subject to the terms of (S)14.9.

      (S)18.2 Register. The Agent shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a
copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the
Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation,
the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of
$3,500 (provided that with respect to any assignment by a Lender to a Subsidiary

therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice
of such assignment from Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute
and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to
the order of such assignee in an amount equal to


                                      102
<PAGE>

the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its
obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an
amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall
provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the
assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the
Borrower.

      (S)18.4 Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or
more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a)
any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the
selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such
participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan
Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under
(S)4.8, (S)4.9 and (S)4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle the
participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d)
such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such sale
is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (f) such participant
shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with,

the Agent of such sale and the identity of the purchaser of such interest.

      (S)18.5 Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any
portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any
portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under
(S)4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. (S)341 or to such other Person as the
Agent may approve to secure obligations of such lenders. No such pledge or the
enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

      (S)18.6 No Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of each of the Lenders.

      (S)18.7 Disclosure. Borrower agrees to promptly cooperate with any Lender
in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any
portion of its Commitment. Each of the Lenders and the Agent acknowledges and
agrees for itself that certain written information provided and to be provided
by the Borrower contains confidential non-public information related to Borrower
and JDN DCI and agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by
the Borrower to it confidential from anyone other than its employees, officers,
attorneys and other advisors who are or are expected to become engaged in
evaluating, administering or syndicating the Loan or rendering advice in
connection therewith, and each of Agent and the Lenders agrees not to trade in
the Borrower's securities in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Rule 10b-5 thereunder, provided that
nothing herein shall prevent any of the foregoing Persons from disclosing such
information (a) to


                                      103

confidentiality of such information in the manner and to the extent provided in
this (S)18.7, (b) upon the order of any court or administrative agency or upon
the request of any administrative agency or authority having jurisdiction over
any of the foregoing Persons or such potential assignees or participants, (c)
upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority, (d) to the
extent that such information has been publicly disclosed other than as a result
of a disclosure by the foregoing Persons, (e) otherwise as required by law or
(f) to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents. In addition, the
Lenders may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty
in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisors (so
long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors to such
contractual counterparty agree to be bound by the provisions of this (S)18.7).

      (S)18.8 Amendments to Mortgages. Upon any such assignment or
participation, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the
Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to
modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment or participation.

      (S)18.9 Co-Agents. Neither the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent
or any Arranger or Co-Arranger shall have any additional rights or obligations

arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and the relationship

HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION
ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER
THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. THE BORROWER (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO

Affiliates regardless of the capacity of the Lender hereunder.

(S)27. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.

      Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or
approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any term of
this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may
be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or the Guarantors
of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of
any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only
with, the written consent of the Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, there shall be no modification or waiver of any of the covenants set
forth in (S)8.7, (S)8.9 or in (S)9 without the written consent of the Required
Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following may occur without
the written consent of each Lender: a reduction in the rate of interest on the
Notes; an increase in the amount of the Commitments of the Lenders (except as
provided in (S)18.1); a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any
unpaid Loan or any interest thereon or fee payable under the Loan Documents; a
change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder; the postponement
of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan; an
extension of the Maturity Date; a change in the manner of distribution of any
payments to the Lenders or the Agent; the release of the Borrower or any
Guarantor or any Collateral except as otherwise provided in (S)5.4, (S)5.6,
(S)5.7 or (S)14.11; an amendment of the definition of Majority Lenders or
Required Lenders or of any requirement for consent by all of the Lenders; any

Percentage; an amendment to this (S)27; an increase in the advance rate within
the Borrowing Base; a modification or waiver of (S)9.6 or (S)9.8; an amendment
of any of the definitions used within (S)9.6 or (S)9.8, or of the definition of
Borrowing Base or any definitions used within such definition; a waiver of any
indemnity of a Lender; or an amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the
Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Lenders or the Required
Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action. The
provisions of (S)14 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent.
There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan
Documents with respect to


                                      107
<PAGE>

Swing Loans without the consent of the Swing Loan Lender, nor any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to
Letters of Credit without the consent of the Issuing Lender. No waiver shall
extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right
consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or
otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any of the
Borrower or the Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(S)28. SEVERABILITY.

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

(S)29. TIME OF THE ESSENCE.

      Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement
and obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

(S)30. NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.

      THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND
MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES. ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SET FORTH
BELOW.

(S)31. REPLACEMENT NOTES.

      Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender
and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in
lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the
applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such
execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall
be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.

(S)32. NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITTED.

      This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for
the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent
and the holders

$______________                                   ________________________, 2001

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, JDN REALTY CORPORATION, a Maryland
corporation ("Maker"), hereby promises to pay to ______________________,
("Payee"), or order, in accordance with the terms of that certain Third Amended,
Restated and Consolidated Master Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2001,
as from time to time in effect, among Maker, Fleet National Bank, for itself and
as Agent, and such other Lenders as may be from time to time named therein (the
"Credit Agreement"), to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Maturity
Date, the principal sum of _________________ ($__________), with daily interest
from the date thereof, computed as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the
principal amount of Term Loans hereof from time to time unpaid, at a rate per
annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall at all times be equal
to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance with the Credit
Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and late charges at the
rates provided in the Credit Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates
specified in the Credit Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be
paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full
hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

      Payments hereunder shall be made to the Agent for the Payee at 100 Federal

      Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements
between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent, whether now
