change(s) of the persons so authorized. Agent shall be entitled to act on the
instructions of anyone identifying himself or herself as one of the Persons
authorized to execute a Notice of Interest Rate Selection, and Borrower shall be
bound thereby in the same manner as if such Person were actually so authorized.
Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lenders and Agent harmless from
and against any and all Liabilities and Costs which may arise or be created by
the acceptance of instructions in any Notice of Interest Rate Selection, unless
caused by the gross negligence of the Person to be indemnified.

          2.3 LENDERS' ACCOUNTING. Agent shall maintain a loan account (the
"LOAN ACCOUNT") on its books in which shall be recorded (i) the names and
addresses of each Lender and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each
Lender from time to time, and (ii) all advances and repayments of principal and
payments of accrued interest under the Loans, as provided in this Agreement.

          2.4 INTEREST ON THE LOANS.

               2.4.1 BASE RATE LOANS. Subject to SECTION 2.4.4, all Base Rate
Loans shall bear interest on the average daily unpaid principal amount thereof
from the date made until paid in full at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate. Base Rate Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of Four Million
Dollars ($4,000,000) or an integral multiple of One Million ($1,000,000) in
excess thereof.

               2.4.2 LIBOR LOANS. Subject to SECTIONS 2.4.4 and 2.4.8, all LIBOR
Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof during the
Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR
for such Interest Period PLUS the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin. LIBOR Loans
shall be in tranches of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) or One Million Dollar
($1,000,000) increments in excess thereof. No more than three (3) LIBOR Loan
tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein and subject to the Default Interest provisions
contained in SECTION 2.4.4, if an Event of Default occurs and as a result
thereof the Loans are declared due and payable, all LIBOR Loans will convert to
Base Rate Loans upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Periods therefor
or the date all Loans become due, whichever occurs first.

               2.4.3 INTEREST PAYMENTS. Subject to SECTION 2.4.4, interest
accrued on all Loans shall be payable by Borrower, in the manner provided in
SECTION 2.6.2, in arrears on the first Business Day of the first calendar month
following the Closing Date, the first Business Day of each succeeding calendar
month thereafter, and on the Termination Date.

               2.4.4 DEFAULT INTEREST. Notwithstanding the rates of interest
specified in SECTIONS 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 and the payment dates specified in SECTION
2.4.3, effective immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, the principal balance of all Loans then outstanding and,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans
not paid when due shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is
four percent (4%) per annum in excess of the Base Rate. All other amounts due
Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is
expressed, if not paid within thirty (30) days after demand, shall bear interest
from and after demand at the rate set forth in this SECTION 2.4.4.

               2.4.5 LATE FEE. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Agent
will cause Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement.
Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges.
Therefore, if Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder
through the Termination Date, unless waived by Agent pursuant to SECTION 11.11.1
or Requisite Lenders, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each dollar of any
principal payment, interest or other charge due hereon and which is not paid
within ten (10) days after such payment is due, shall be charged by Agent (for
the benefit of Lenders) and paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the
expense incident to handling such delinquent payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
late charges shall be assessed with respect to any period during which Borrower
is obligated to pay interest at the rate specified in SECTION 2.4.4, or in
respect of any failure to pay all Obligations on the Termination Date. Borrower
and Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering
all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs that Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of
late payment. Borrower and Agent further agree that proof of actual damages
would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not
constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and
shall not prevent Agent from exercising any of the other rights available
hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without
prejudice to any other rights of Agent.

               2.4.6 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest
or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. In computing
interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan shall be included and
the date of payment shall be excluded; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a Loan is
repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day's interest shall be paid
on that Loan. Notwithstanding any provision in this SECTION 2.4, interest in
respect of any Loan shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law.

               2.4.7 CHANGES; LEGAL RESTRICTIONS. In the event that after the
Closing Date (i) the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule,
regulation, guideline or determination of a court or Governmental Authority or
any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a court or
Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by Agent or any Lender with any
request or directive made or issued after the Closing Date from any central bank
or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority:

                         (a) subjects Agent or any Lender to any tax, duty or
               other charge of any kind with respect to the Facility, this
               Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the Loans, or
               changes the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or such Lender
               of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
               hereunder, except for net income, gross receipts, gross profits
               or franchise taxes imposed by any jurisdiction and not
               specifically based upon loan transactions (all such non-excepted
               taxes, duties and other charges being hereinafter referred to as
               "LENDER TAXES");

                         (b) imposes, modifies or holds applicable, in the
               determination of Agent or any Lender, any reserve, special
               deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance, capital allocation or
               similar requirement (other than a requirement of the type
               described in SECTION 2.7) against assets held by, or deposits or
               other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by,
               or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds
               by, Agent or such Lender or any applicable lending office; or

                         (c) imposes on Agent or any Lender any other condition
               (OTHER THAN ONE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2.7) materially more
               burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in
               existence as of the Closing Date,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any
Lender of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in the Loans or to
reduce any amount receivable thereunder; THEN, in any such case, Borrower shall
promptly pay to Agent or such Lender, as applicable, upon demand, such amount or
amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by Agent or such Lender to
the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement and affected by this
SECTION 2.4.7) as may be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender for any
such additional cost incurred or reduced amounts received; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if the payment of such compensation may not be legally made whether by
modification of the applicable interest rate or otherwise, then all affected
Loans shall become immediately due and payable by Borrower. Agent or such Lender
shall deliver to Borrower and in the case of a delivery by Lender, such Lender
shall also deliver to Agent, a written statement of the claimed additional costs
incurred or reduced amounts received and the basis therefor as soon as
reasonably practicable after such Lender obtains knowledge thereof. If Agent or
any Lender subsequently recovers any amount of Lender Taxes previously paid by
Borrower pursuant to this SECTION 2.4.7, whether before or after termination of
this Agreement, then, upon receipt of good funds with respect to such recovery,
Agent or such Lender will refund such amount to Borrower if no Event of Default
or Unmatured Event of Default then exists or, if an Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default then exists, such amount will be credited to the
Obligations in the manner determined by Agent or such Lender.

               2.4.8 CERTAIN PROVISIONS REGARDING LIBOR LOANS.

                         (a) LIBOR LENDING UNLAWFUL. If any Lender shall
               determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to
               Borrower and Agent, be conclusive and binding on the parties
               hereto) that the introduction of or any change in or in the
               interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank
               or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for
               such Lender to make or maintain any Loan as a LIBOR Loan, (i) the
               obligations of such Lenders to make or maintain any Loans as
               LIBOR Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be
               suspended until such Lender shall notify Agent that the
               circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (ii)
               if required by such law or assertion, the LIBOR Loans of such
               Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans in which
               case no Fixed Rate Prepayment Fee shall be due upon such
               conversion.

                         (b) DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE. If Agent shall have
               determined in good faith that adequate means do not exist for
               ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR
               Loans, then, upon notice from Agent to Borrower the obligations
               of all Lenders to make or maintain Loans as LIBOR Loans shall
               forthwith be suspended until Agent shall notify Borrower that the
               circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Agent will
               give such notice when it determines, in good faith, that such
               circumstances no longer exist; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Agent
               shall not have any liability to any Person with respect to any
               delay in giving such notice.

                         (c) FIXED RATE PREPAYMENT FEE. Borrower acknowledges
               that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Loan during an
               Interest Period shall result in Lenders incurring additional
               costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely
               difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs,
               expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a LIBOR Loan
               is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and
               payable, by acceleration or otherwise ("PREPAYMENT DATE"),
               Borrower will pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender, (in
               addition to all other sums then owing), an amount ("FIXED RATE
               PREPAYMENT FEE") determined by the Agent to be the amount, if
               any, by which (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued
               on the prepaid LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest
               Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan exceeds (ii) the
               amount of interest that would accrue for the same period on any
               readily marketable bond or other obligation of the United States
               of America designated by the Agent in its sole discretion at or
               about the time of such payment, such bond or other obligation of
               the United States of America to be in an amount equal (as nearly
               as may be) to the amount of principal so paid or not borrowed and
               to have a maturity comparable to the remainder of such Interest
               Period, and the interest to accrue thereon to take account of
               amortization of any discount from par or accretion of premium
               above par at which the same is selling at the time designation.

                         (d) Upon the written notice to Borrower from Agent,
               Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent, for the account of
               Lenders, the Fixed Rate Prepayment Fee. Such written notice
               (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in
               the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
               parties hereto.

                         (e) Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the
               following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell
               and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis
               for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Loan; (ii) LIBOR
               is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii)
               Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for
               calculating such rate and a Fixed Rate Prepayment Fee. Borrower
               further agrees to pay the Fixed Rate Prepayment Fee and Lender
               Taxes, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell
               and/or match funds.

          2.4.9 WITHHOLDING TAX EXEMPTION. At least five (5) Business Days prior
to the first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account
of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to Agent and
Borrower two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form 1001 or Form 4224, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a Form 1001 or
Form 4224 further undertakes to deliver to Agent and Borrower two (2) additional
copies of such form (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date
that such form expires (currently, three (3) successive calendar years for Form
1001 and one (1) calendar year for Form 4224) or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered
by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be
reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower, in each case certifying that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event
(including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has
occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such
Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and
such Lender advises Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without
any deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes. If any
Lender cannot deliver such form, then Borrower may withhold from such payments
such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code.

          2.5  FEES.

               2.5.1 FACILITY FEE. On the Closing Date Borrower shall pay to
Agent, for the account of each Lender, a fee calculated at the rate of 75 basis
points of the amount of the Facility and the Agent shall pay to each Lender its
Pro Rata Share of such facility fee.

               2.5.2 AGENCY AND ARRANGEMENT FEES. Borrower shall pay Agent such
fees as are provided for in the Fee Letter between Agent and Borrower, as in
existence from time to time.

               2.5.3 PAYMENT OF FEES. The fees described in this SECTION 2.5
represent compensation for services rendered and to be rendered separate and
apart from the lending of money or the provision of credit and do not constitute
compensation for the use, detention or forbearance of money, and the obligation
of Borrower to pay the fees described herein shall be in addition to, and not in
lieu of, the obligation of Borrower to pay interest, other fees and expenses
otherwise described in this Agreement. All fees shall be payable when due in
immediately available funds and shall be non-refundable when paid. If Borrower
fails to make any payment of fees or expenses specified or referred to in this
Agreement due to Agent or Lenders, including without limitation those referred
to in this SECTION 2.5, in SECTION 12.1, or otherwise under this Agreement or
any separate fee agreement between Borrower and Agent or any Lender relating to
this Agreement, when due, the amount due shall bear interest until paid at the
Base Rate and, after ten (10) days at the rate specified in SECTION 2.4.4 (but
not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law), and shall
constitute part of the Obligations.

         2.6  PAYMENTS.

               2.6.1 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Borrower may, upon not less than
three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Agent not later than 11:00 A.M.
(Eastern time) on the date given, at any time and from time to time, prepay the
Loans in whole or in part. As provided in SECTION 11.13, any partial prepayment
will be shared among the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares. Any notice of prepayment given to Agent under this SECTION 2.6.1 shall
specify the date of prepayment and the principal amount of the prepayment. In
the event of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall concurrently pay any
Fixed Rate Prepayment Fee payable in respect thereof. Agent shall provide to
each Lender a confirming copy of such notice on the same Business Day such
notice is received.

               2.6.2 MANNER AND TIME OF PAYMENT. All payments of principal,
interest and fees hereunder payable to Agent or the Lenders shall be made
without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim,
in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Agent's written wire transfer
instructions) of immediately available funds, to Agent, for the account of each
Lender, not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the date due; and funds
received by Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on
the next succeeding Business Day.

               2.6.3 PAYMENTS ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be
made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of
interest hereunder and of any of the fees specified in SECTION 2.5, as the case
may be.

          2.7 INCREASED CAPITAL. If either (i) the introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance by Agent
or any Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made or issued after the Closing Date affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Agent or
such Lender or any corporation controlling Agent or such Lender, and Agent or
such Lender determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based
upon the existence of Agent's obligations hereunder or such Lender's Commitment,
then, upon demand by Agent or such Lender, Borrower shall immediately pay to
Agent or such Lender, from time to time as specified by Agent or such Lender,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate Agent or such Lender in the light of
such circumstances, to the extent that Agent or such Lender determines such
increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of Agent's obligations
hereunder or such Lender's Commitment. A certificate as to such amounts
submitted to Borrower by Agent or such Lender shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

          2.8 NOTICE OF INCREASED COSTS. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as
reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or
the existence of a condition which would cause it to be affected by any of the
events or conditions described in SECTION 2.4.7 or 2.4.8 or SECTION 2.7, it will
notify Borrower, and provide a copy of such notice to Agent, of such event and
the possible effects thereof, PROVIDED that the failure to provide such notice
shall not affect Lender's rights to reimbursement provided for herein.


                                   ARTICLE III

                UNENCUMBERED PROPERTIES AND PORTFOLIO PROPERTIES

          3.1. LISTING OF UNENCUMBERED PROPERTIES. The Borrower represents and
warrants that each of the Properties listed on SCHEDULE 1 will on the Closing
Date satisfy all of the conditions set forth in the definition of Unencumbered
Property. From time to time during the term of this Agreement additional
Properties may become Unencumbered Properties and certain Properties which
previously satisfied the conditions set forth in the definition of Unencumbered
Property may cease to be Unencumbered Properties by virtue of property
dispositions, creation of Liens or other reasons. There shall be attached to
each Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant hereto an updated listing of the
Unencumbered Properties relied upon by the Borrower in computing the Value of
All Unencumbered Properties and the Unencumbered Net Operating Income stated in
such Compliance Certificate.

          3.2. WAIVERS BY REQUISITE LENDERS. If any Property fails to satisfy
any of the requirements contained in the definition of Unencumbered Property
then the applicable Property may nevertheless be deemed to be Unencumbered
Property hereunder if the Requisite Lenders grant the necessary waivers and vote
to accept such Property as an Unencumbered Property.

          3.3. REJECTION OF UNENCUMBERED PROPERTIES. If at any time the Agent
determines that any Property listed as an Unencumbered Property by the Borrower
does not satisfy all of the requirements of the definition of Unencumbered
Property (to the extent not waived by the Requisite Lenders pursuant to SECTION
3.2) it may reject an Unencumbered Property by notice to the Borrower and if the
Agent so requests the Borrower shall revise the applicable Compliance
Certificate to reflect the resulting change in the Value of All Unencumbered
Properties and the Unencumbered Net Operating Income.

          3.4 UPDATED LISTS OF UNENCUMBERED PROPERTIES AND PORTFOLIO PROPERTIES.
SCHEDULE 1 contains a list of the Unencumbered Properties and SCHEDULE 1.1 sets
forth a list of the Portfolio Properties (other than the Unencumbered
Properties) each as of the date hereof. Promptly upon the acquisition or
disposition of any of the Portfolio Properties and promptly upon the creation of
any Lien or other event which causes any of the Portfolio Properties which
previously qualified as an Unencumbered Property to no longer satisfy the
definition of Unencumbered Property, Borrower shall deliver to Agent an updated
SCHEDULE 1 and/or SCHEDULE 1.1 and any other information as may be reasonably
requested by Agent relating to such change in the list of Unencumbered
Properties and/or Portfolio Properties, including a Compliance Certificate.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                               CONDITIONS TO LOANS

          4.1 CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENT OF LOANS. The obligation of Lenders to
make the disbursement of the Loans on the Closing Date shall be subject to
satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, provided, however
that if evidence of qualification and good standing is not available from all
required states by the Closing Date, the Agent may permit such evidence to be
delivered a reasonable time after the Closing Date:

               4.1.1 BORROWER DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall have executed and/or
delivered to Agent each of the following, in form and substance acceptable to
Agent:

                                 Borrower in Delaware and in each state
                                 where any Unencumbered Property is located.

payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower
or the REIT. Borrower has no knowledge of any proposed tax assessment against
Borrower or the REIT that will have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the
REIT.

performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation applicable to it, and no
condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default under such Contractual Obligation in each case,

licensed or otherwise have the lawful right to use, or have all permits and
other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights,

such Person's business as currently conducted, the absence of which would have a
Material Adverse Effect upon such Person. The use of such permits and other
governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights,
technology, know-how and processes by each such Person does not infringe on the
rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the
aggregate, give rise to any liability on the part of any such Person which would
have a Material Adverse Effect on any such Person.

          5.22 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.22, to
the best of Borrower's knowledge, (i) the operations of Borrower and its

five (5) years maintained or contributed to or currently maintains or

1, 2000 (that is, be "Year 2000 Compliant"), except to the extent that a failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

of any Construction Project if the addition of the budgeted project costs for
such project to the CIP Budget Amount would result in a violation of SECTION
9.11. At all times when the Portfolio Occupancy Rate is less than ninety-five
percent (95%) Borrower shall not commence construction of any Construction
Project prior to the earlier of (a) the date that premises which in the
aggregate constitute at least twenty percent (20%) of the gross leasable area of
such Construction Project are subject to executed leases under which (i)
occupancy by the tenant thereunder is conditioned only upon completion of
construction of the relevant improvements and (ii) such tenant is otherwise
unconditionally committed to take occupancy upon completion of such construction
or (b) the date that the Portfolio Occupancy Rate again exceeds ninety-five
percent (95%).

          8.12 DISCONTINUITY IN MANAGEMENT. In the event that any three of the
five Executive Officers shall cease to be active on a full time, continuous
basis in the senior management of Borrower and the REIT ("DISCONTINUITY IN
MANAGEMENT"), Borrower shall have up to one hundred eighty (180) days to obtain
the approval of Requisite Lenders to additional executives, such that the
remaining and new management executives, as a group, have substantial and
sufficient knowledge, experience and capabilities in the management of a
publicly-held company engaged in the operation of a multi-asset real estate
business of the type engaged in by Borrower. In the event Borrower shall fail to
obtain approval of Requisite Lenders as aforesaid within said 180-day period,
then Borrower shall, at the election and upon the demand of Requisite Lenders,
pay in full all Obligations under the Loan Documents not later than sixty (60)
days after the end of such 180-day period, whereupon this Agreement shall be
terminated. Any Lender which abstains or otherwise fails to respond to any
request by Borrower for approval under this SECTION 8.12 within ten (10)
Business Days shall be counted among the Requisite Lenders approving the
proposed additional executives. In the event that Barry Ginsburg should retire
prior to the time that there has been any other changes in the Executive
Officers, the Borrower may designate another officer to replace Mr. Ginsburg
among the Executive Officers and such replacement shall not be counted when
determining whether there has been a Discontinuity in Management.

Investments in Simon Partnerships and such Investments shall not be subject to,
or counted against, the limitations on the amount of Permitted Investments
described in this SECTION 9.10.

          9.11 CIP BUDGET AMOUNT TO ADJUSTED ASSET VALUE. The ratio of the CIP
Budget Amount to Adjusted Asset Value shall not exceed 0.25:1.

          9.12 CALCULATION. Each of the foregoing ratios and financial
requirements shall be calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter,
provided, however that each of the foregoing ratios and financial requirements
which is affected by an increase in the outstanding balance of Unsecured
Indebtedness or by the sale or encumbrance of a Portfolio Property shall also be
recalculated as of the time of such event. For purposes of determining
compliance with SECTION 9.6, the period covered thereby shall be the immediately
preceding Fiscal Quarter.

period for performance is otherwise provided, such failure shall continue for
fifteen (15) days after Borrower or the REIT knew of such failure (or such
lesser period of time as is mandated by applicable Requirements of Law);
PROVIDED, however, if such failure is capable of cure but is not capable of cure
within such fifteen (15) day period, then if Borrower promptly undertakes action
to cure such failure and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion within forty-five (45) days after Borrower or the REIT knew of such
failure, then Borrower shall not be in default hereunder.

               10.1.5 BREACH OF REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. Any representation

               case, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
               similar law now or hereinafter in effect; or any other similar
               relief shall be granted under any applicable federal, state or
               foreign law; or

                         (b) A decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in
               the premises for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
               sequestrator, trustee, custodian or other officer having similar
               powers over the REIT, Borrower or any GP Partnership, or over all
               or a substantial part of the property of any such Person, shall
               be entered; or an interim receiver, trustee or other custodian of
               any such Person or of all or a substantial part of the property
               of any such Person, shall be appointed or a warrant of
               attachment, execution or similar process against any substantial

               discharged within sixty (60) days of entry, appointment or
               issuance.

               10.1.8 VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER, ETC. The
REIT, Borrower, or any GP Partnership shall have an order for relief entered
with respect to it or commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to
the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case, or to the conversion of
an involuntary case to a voluntary case, under any such law, or shall consent to
the appointment of or taking of possession by a receiver, trustee or other
custodian for all or a substantial part of its property; any such Person shall
make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall be unable or fail, or
admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts as such debts become due; or
the general partner (or Person(s) serving in a similar capacity) of Borrower or
the REIT's Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) adopts any resolution
or otherwise authorizes any action to approve any of the foregoing.

               10.1.9 JUDGMENTS AND ATTACHMENTS. (i) Any money judgment (other
than a money judgment covered by insurance but only if the insurer has admitted
liability with respect to such money judgment), writ or warrant of attachment,
or similar process involving in any case an amount in excess of One Million

securities laws seeking rescission of the purchase or sale of, or for damages
arising from the purchase or sale of, any Securities, such judgment or order

Material Adverse Effect on such Person.

entered against the REIT, Borrower, or any GP Partnership decreeing its
involuntary dissolution or split up and such order shall remain undischarged and

any Obligation shall be subordinated in right of payment to any other unsecured
liability of the Borrower.

               10.1.12 ERISA LIABILITIES. Any Termination Event occurs which
will or is reasonably likely to subject Borrower, the REIT or any ERISA
Affiliate to a liability which Agent reasonably determines will have a Material
Adverse Effect on Borrower or the REIT, or the plan administrator of any Benefit
Plan applies for approval under Section 412(d) of the Internal Revenue Code for
a waiver of the minimum funding standards of Section 412(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code and Agent reasonably determines that the business hardship upon
which the Section 412(d) waiver was based will or would reasonably be
anticipated to subject Borrower or the REIT to a liability which Agent
determines will have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the REIT.

               10.1.13 ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES. Borrower, the REIT or any
Subsidiary or Partnership becomes subject to any Liabilities and Costs which
Agent reasonably deems to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Person arising

waived in writing in accordance with SECTION 12.4.

          10.2  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

               10.2.1 ACCELERATION, ETC. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in the foregoing SECTION 10.1.7 or 10.1.8 with respect to the
REIT or Borrower, the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued
interest on the Loans shall automatically become immediately due and payable,
with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and without
presentment, demand or protest or other requirements of any kind (including,
without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice
of intent to demand or accelerate or notice of acceleration), all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Event of Default, Agent shall, at the request, or may,
with the consent of Requisite Lenders, by written notice to Borrower, declare
the unpaid principal amount of, any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the
Loans and all of the other Obligations to be, and the same shall thereupon be,
immediately due and payable with all additional interest from time to time
accrued thereon and without presentment, demand, or protest or other
requirements of any kind (including without limitation, valuation and
appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate
and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Without limiting Agent's authority hereunder, on or after the Termination Date,
Agent shall, at the request, or may, with the consent, of Requisite Lenders
exercise any or all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable
law. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Agent shall be entitled to request and receive, by or through Borrower or
appropriate legal process, any and all information concerning the REIT, Borrower
or any property of any of them, which is reasonably available to or obtainable
by Borrower.

               10.2.2 WAIVER OF DEMAND. Demand, presentment, protest and notice
of nonpayment are hereby waived by Borrower. Borrower also waives, to the extent
permitted by law, the benefit of all exemption laws.

               10.2.3 WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES. No delay or omission of
Agent or Lenders to exercise any right under any Loan Document shall impair such
right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no
waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of
the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by Agent
after obtaining written approval thereof or the signature thereon of those
Lenders required to approve such waiver, amendment or other variation, and then
only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies
contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all
shall be available to Agent and Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in
full and this Agreement has been terminated.

          10.3 RESCISSION. If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of
the Loans, Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on
account of principal of the Loans which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on
overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of
Default and Unmatured Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of
and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of
acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to SECTION 12.4, then by
written notice to Borrower, Requisite Lenders may elect, in their sole
discretion, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences; but such
action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the
preceding sentence are intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may
be made at the election of Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to benefit
Borrower and do not give Borrower the right to require Lenders to rescind or
annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are
met.


                                   ARTICLE XI

                                AGENCY PROVISIONS

          11.1 APPOINTMENT.

               11.1.1 Each Lender hereby (i) designates and appoints BankBoston
as Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (ii)
authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than this
Agreement for the benefit of Lenders, and (iii) authorizes Agent to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to
the limitations referred to in SECTIONS 11.10.1 and 11.10.2. Agent agrees to act
as such on the express conditions contained in this ARTICLE XI.

               11.1.2 The provisions of this ARTICLE XI are solely for the
benefit of Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on
or enforce any of the provisions hereof (other than as expressly set forth in
SECTIONS 11.3 and 11.9, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall in no way
limit Borrower's obligations under this ARTICLE XI. In performing its functions
and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as Agent of Lenders and
does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or
relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any other Person.

          11.2 NATURE OF DUTIES. Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
Loan Documents. Subject to the provisions of SECTIONS 11.5 and 11.7, Agent shall
administer the Loans in the same manner as it administers its own loans.
Promptly following the effectiveness of this Agreement, Agent shall send to each
Lender its originally executed Note and the executed original, to the extent the
same are available in sufficient numbers, of each other Loan Document other than
the Notes in favor of other Lenders. Agent shall not have by reason of this
Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended or
shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligation in respect of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or
therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the REIT, Borrower and each Portfolio
Property in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans
hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the REIT
and Borrower, and, except as specifically provided herein, Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto,
whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or
times thereafter.

          11.3 LOAN DISBURSEMENT.

               11.3.1 Not later than 1:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the Closing
Date each Lender shall make available to Agent, the full amount of such Lender's
Commitment in immediately available funds. Unless Agent shall have been notified
by any Lender prior to such time for funding that such Lender does not intend to
make available to Agent such Lender's Loan, Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such amount available to Agent. In any case where a Lender does not for
any reason make available to Agent such Lender's Loan, Agent, in its sole
discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender's
Loan. If the amount so funded by Agent is not in fact made available to Agent by
the responsible Lender, then Borrower agrees to repay to Agent such amount,
together with interest thereon at the Base Rate for each day from the date such
amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to
Agent, not later than three (3) Business Days following Agent's demand to
Borrower that such repayment be made. In addition, such Lender agrees to pay to
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan,
and if both such Lender and Borrower shall have paid and repaid, respectively,
such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrower such
corresponding amount in same day funds; interest paid by Borrower in respect of
such corresponding amount shall be prorated, as of the date of payment thereof
by such Lender to Agent. In the event that Agent shall not have funded such
Lender's Pro Rata Share under this SECTION 11.3.1, then Borrower shall not be
obligated to accept a late funding of such Lender's Pro Rata Share if such
funding is made more than two (2) Business Days following the applicable Funding
Date. If Borrower declines to accept such delinquent funding, Agent shall
promptly return to such Lender the amount of such funding. Nothing in this
SECTION 11.3.1 shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender.

               11.3.2 Nothing in this SECTION 11.3 shall be deemed to relieve
any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the Closing Date, nor
shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform
its obligations to make any Loan hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender
shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other
Lender to perform its obligation to make its Loan.

          11.4 DISTRIBUTION AND APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS. Payments actually
received by Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly
after receipt thereof by Agent, but in any event within two (2) Business Days,
PROVIDED that Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i)
Federal Funds Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to such Loans, from
the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Agent until such funds are
paid in immediately available funds to Lenders. Subject to SECTION 11.4.2, all
payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments
of the fees described in this Agreement, and all payments in respect of any
other Obligations shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled
thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as
provided herein. Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two
(2) Business Days, to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the
appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption, or at
such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be
entitled to receive, PROVIDED that Agent shall in any event not be bound to
inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or
entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate
relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Requisite Lenders or
all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the
event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution
contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to
determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at
any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in
writing in accordance with SECTION 12.4, without necessity of notice to or
consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other
sums received by Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property
or assets of Agent and shall be held by Agent, solely in its capacity as agent
for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents.

          11.5 RIGHTS, EXCULPATION, ETC. Neither Agent, any Affiliate of Agent,
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or
consultants, shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by
them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or
therewith, except that Agent shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent
shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it
in good faith pursuant to SECTION 11.4, and if any such apportionment or
distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole
recourse of any Person to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to
recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount
to which they are determined to have been entitled. Agent shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby; or for the financial condition of the REIT, Borrower or any of their
Affiliates. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either
the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of
this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of the
REIT, Borrower or any of their Affiliates, or the existence or possible
existence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default.

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

          11.7 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by Borrower, Lenders will reimburse, within ten (10) Business Days
after notice from Agent, and indemnify and defend Agent for and against any and
all Liabilities and Costs (other than losses in the collection of principal and
interest on the Loans which losses shall be shared among all Lenders including
the Agent as provided in SECTIONS 11.4 and 11.13) which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against it in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted
by Agent or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in
proportion to each Lender's Pro Rata Share; PROVIDED that no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of such Liabilities and Costs resulting from Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct or in respect of normal administrative
costs and expenses incurred by Agent (prior to any Event of Default or any
Unmatured Event of Default) in connection with its performance of administrative
duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of
Lenders under this SECTION 11.7 shall survive the payment in full of all
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. In the event that after
payment and distribution of any amount by Agent to Lenders, any Lender or third
party, including Borrower, any creditor of Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy,
recovers from Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Agent or
disbursed by Agent to Lenders, then Lenders, in proportion to their respective
Pro Rata Shares, shall reimburse Agent for all such amounts. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Agent shall not be obligated to advance Liabilities and Costs and may
require the deposit by each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any material
Liabilities and Costs anticipated by Agent before they are incurred or made
payable.

          11.8 AGENT INDIVIDUALLY. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the
Obligations hereunder and the Loans made by it, Agent shall have and may
exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same
obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other
Lender. The terms "Lenders", "Requisite Lenders" or any similar terms may
include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite
Lenders. Agent and any Lender and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business
with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not acting as Agent or
Lender pursuant hereto.

          11.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT; RESIGNATION OF AGENT; REMOVAL OF AGENT.

               11.9.1 Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions
and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days,
prior written notice to Lenders and Borrower, and shall automatically cease to
be Agent hereunder in the event a petition in bankruptcy shall be filed by or
against Agent or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
Governmental Authority shall assume control of Agent or Agent's interests under
the Facility. Further, Lenders whose aggregate outstanding Loans constitute at
least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding Loans of all
Lenders excluding the Agent may remove Agent for cause at any time by giving at
least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to Agent, Borrower and all
other Lenders. If Agent enters into one or more assignments pursuant to SECTION
11.12 having the effect of reducing its outstanding Loans to less than
$8,000,000 then any Lender whose outstanding Loans exceed those of Agent may
remove Agent by notice given within thirty (30) days after such Lender receives
notice of the assignments which reduce the Agent's outstanding Loans below such
level. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance by a
successor Agent appointed pursuant to SECTION 11.9.2 or 11.9.3.

               11.9.2 Upon any such notice of resignation by or removal of
Agent, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent with the consent of
Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed AND which
consent shall not be required if there shall then exist any Event of Default.
Any successor Agent must be a bank (i) the senior debt obligations of which (or
such bank's parent's senior unsecured debt obligations) are rated not less than
BBB by one of the Rating Agencies and (ii) which has total assets in excess of
Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000). Such successor Agent shall separately
confirm in writing with Borrower the fee to be paid to such Agent pursuant to
SECTION 2.5.2.

               11.9.3 If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed
within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring or removed Agent,
shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall meet the requirements described
in SECTION 11.9.2 and who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as
Requisite Lenders, appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

          11.10 CONSENT AND APPROVALS.

               11.10.1 Each of the following shall require the approval or
consent of Requisite Lenders:

                         (a) Approval of notes receivable pursuant to definition
          of Adjusted Asset Value (SECTION 1.1); 

                         (b) Consent to Indebtedness (SECTION 8.10);

                         (c) Approval of additional executives upon a
          Discontinuity in Management (SECTION 8.12);

                         (d) Acceleration following an Event of Default (SECTION
          10.2.1) or rescission of such acceleration (SECTION 10.3);

                         (e) Approval of the exercise of rights and remedies
          under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default (SECTION
          10.2.1);

                         (f) Appointment of a successor Agent (SECTION 11.9);

                         (g) Except as referred to in SECTION 11.10.2 or
          11.11.1, approval of any amendment, modification or termination of
          this Agreement, or waiver of any provision herein (SECTION 12.4).

               11.10.2 Each amendment, modification or waiver specifically
enumerated in SECTION 12.4.1 shall require the consent of all Lenders.

               11.10.3 In addition to the required consents or approvals
referred to in SECTION 11.10.1, Agent may at any time request instructions from
Requisite Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms
of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or
required to take or to grant without instructions from any Lenders, and if such
instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to
refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be
under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from taking any
action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it
shall have received such instructions from Requisite Lenders. Without limiting
the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent
as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite
Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender at any time that the Requisite Lenders have instructed Agent to act or
refrain from acting pursuant to this SECTION 11.10.3.

               11.10.4 Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent at the
direction or with the consent of Requisite Lenders in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and the exercise by Agent at
the direction or with the consent of Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth
herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders, except for actions
specifically requiring the approval of all Lenders. All communications from
Agent to Lenders requesting Lenders' determination, consent, approval or
disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender,
(ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or thing as to which
such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall
advise each Lender where such matter or thing may be inspected, or shall
otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if
reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to
such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to
Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) may
include Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect
thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10)
Business Days (the "LENDER REPLY Period"). Unless a Lender shall give written
notice to Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of Agent
(together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection)
within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of
or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions
requiring the approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, Agent shall submit
its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such
recommendation or determination to all Lenders and upon receiving the required
approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination
recommended to Lenders by Agent or such other course of action recommended by
Requisite Lenders, and each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have
concurred with such recommended course of action.

          11.11 AGENCY PROVISIONS RELATING TO CERTAIN ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS.

               11.11.1 Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders,
without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, to
waive the imposition of late fees provided for in SECTION 2.4.5 up to a maximum
of three (3) times during the term of this Agreement.

               11.11.2 Should Agent (i) employ counsel for advice or other
representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect
to any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) commence any proceeding or in any way seek
to enforce its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, each Lender, upon
demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Pro
Rata Share) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such advice or other
representation, enforcement or acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees
of receivers, court costs and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not
otherwise reimbursed by Borrower; PROVIDED that Agent shall not be entitled to
reimbursement of its attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the resolution of disputes between Agent and other Lenders unless Agent shall be
the prevailing party in any such dispute. Any loss of principal and interest
resulting from any Event of Default shall be shared by Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

          11.12 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

               11.12.1 Each Lender may assign, to one or more Eligible
Assignees, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including without limitation all or a portion of the Loans owing to it) and
other Loan Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) each such assignment shall be
of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents, and the
assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender's Loans, (ii) unless
Agent and Borrower otherwise consent (except that after an Event of Default only
the consent of Agent shall be required), the aggregate amount of the Loans of
the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined
as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment)
shall in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and shall be an
integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), (iii) after giving effect
to such assignment, the aggregate amount of the Loans retained by the assigning
Lender shall in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (iv)
the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its
approval and acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption, and (v) Agent shall
receive from the assignor a processing fee of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000).
Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and upon the effective
date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption, (X) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (Y) the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

               11.12.2 By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption,
the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the REIT or Borrower
or the performance or observance by the REIT or Borrower of any of their
respective obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has
received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial
statements referred to in ARTICLE V or delivered pursuant to ARTICLE VI to the
date of such assignment and such other Loan Documents and other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will,
independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and
authorizes Agent to take such action as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms
of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

               11.12.3 Agent shall maintain, at its address referred to on the
counterpart signature pages hereof, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Loan Account the names
and addresses of each Lender and the principal amount of the Loans owing to,
such Lender from time to time. Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Loan Account as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement.

               11.12.4 Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed
by an assigning Lender and an assignee, Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Assumption has been properly completed and is in substantially the form of
EXHIBIT A, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Loan Account, and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to Borrower. Upon request, Borrower will execute and deliver to Agent an
appropriate replacement promissory note or replacement promissory notes in favor
of each assignee (and assignor, if such assignor is retaining a portion of its
Loans) reflecting such assignee's (and assigner's) Pro Rata Share(s) of the
Facility. Upon execution and delivery of such replacement promissory notes the
original promissory note or notes evidencing all or a portion of the Loans being
assigned shall be cancelled and returned to Borrower.

               11.12.5 Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of the Loans owing
to it) and other Loan Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and all
payments to be made under this Agreement, and (iv) the holder of any such
participation shall not be entitled to voting rights under this Agreement except
for voting rights with respect to (A) increases in the Facility; (B) extensions
of the Termination Date; and (C) decreases in the interest rates described in
this Agreement. No participant shall be entitled to vote on any matter until the
Lender with which such participant is participating in the Facility and the
Loans confirms such participant's status as a participant hereunder.

               11.12.6 Borrower will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with
Agent and Lenders in connection with the assignment of interests under this
Agreement or the sale of participations herein.

               11.12.7 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or
procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this SECTION 11.12, any
Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any
portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal
Reserve Bank; PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment shall release such
Lender from its obligations thereunder. To facilitate any such pledge or
assignment, Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter
agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in substantially the form of the exhibit
to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Operating circular No. 12.

               11.12.8 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to another branch or Affiliate of such Lender,
PROVIDED that (i) at the time of such assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting
Lender, (ii) such Lender gives Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days'
prior written notice of any such assignment, (iii) the parties to each such
assignment execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and (iv)
Agent receives from assignor a processing fee of Three Thousand Dollars
($3,000).

               11.12.9 No assignee of any rights and obligations under this
Agreement shall be permitted to subassign such rights and obligations.

               11.12.10 No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to Borrower or
any Affiliate of Borrower.

          11.13 RATABLE SHARING. Subject to SECTIONS 11.3 and 11.4, Lenders
agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them
which are applicable to the payment of the Obligations, equitable adjustment
will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them
ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whether received by voluntary
payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of
the Obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the
exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it which is
greater than its Pro Rata Share of the payments on account of the Obligations,
the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to
have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations
owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations
shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; PROVIDED,
that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is
thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the
purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to
the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to
the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with
such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to this SECTION 11.13 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in
the amount of such participation.

          11.14 DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. Agent shall as soon as reasonably
practicable distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the
appropriate counterpart signature page hereof, or at such other address as a
Lender may request in writing, (i) all documents to which such Lender is a party
or of which such Lender is a beneficiary set forth in SECTION 4.1, (ii) all
documents of which Agent receives copies from Borrower pursuant to SECTION 6.1
(except as provided in SECTION 6.1.1) and SECTION 12.6, (iii) all other
documents or information which Agent is required to send to Lenders pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement; (iv) other information or documents received by
Agent at the request of any Lender, and (v) all notices received by Agent
pursuant to SECTION 6.2. In addition, within fifteen (15) Business Days after
receipt of a request in writing from a Lender for written information or
documents provided by or prepared by Borrower or the REIT, Agent shall deliver
such written information or documents to such requesting Lender if Agent has
possession of such written information or documents in its capacity as Agent or
as a Lender.

          11.15 NOTICE OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event
of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans)
unless Agent has received notice in writing from a Lender or Borrower referring
to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, describing such event or
condition and expressly stating that such notice is a notice of an Unmatured
Event of Default or Event of Default. Should Agent receive such notice of the
occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, or should Agent
send Borrower a notice of Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, Agent
shall promptly give notice thereof to each Lender.


                                   ARTICLE XII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          12.1  EXPENSES.

               12.1.1 GENERALLY. Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or
reimburse Agent for, all of Agent's external audit, legal and investigation
expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every
type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses
and disbursements of Agent's internal appraisers, environmental advisors or
legal counsel) incurred by Agent at any time (whether prior to, on or after the
date of this Agreement) in connection with (i) its own audit and investigation
of Borrower and the Portfolio Properties provided that prior to an Event of
Default Borrower shall not be required to reimburse expenses for any inspections
of the Portfolio Properties by Agent's loan officers or other employees which
are made more frequently than annually; (ii) the negotiation, preparation and
execution of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or
attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IV) and the
other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans; (iii) administration of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Loans, including, without
limitation, consultation with attorneys in connection therewith; and (iv) the
protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations.

               12.1.2 AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT. Borrower further agrees to pay, or
reimburse Agent and Lenders, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred by Agent or Lenders after the occurrence of an Event of
Default (i) in enforcing any Obligation or exercising or enforcing any other
right or remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in connection
with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under
this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or
in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal
proceeding relating to Borrower, the REIT or any Affiliate and related to or
arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (iv) in taking any other
action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (whether in bankruptcy or
otherwise).

          12.2 INDEMNITY. Borrower further agrees to defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless Agent, each and all of the Lenders, each of their respective
Affiliates and participants and each of the respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys and consultants (including, without limitation,
those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of
any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IV) of each of the foregoing
(collectively called the "INDEMNITEES") from and against any and all Liabilities
and Costs imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees (whether
based on any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations, including,
without limitation, securities and commercial laws and regulations, under common
law or in equity, and based upon contract or otherwise, including any
Liabilities and Costs arising as a result of a "prohibited transaction" under
ERISA to the extent arising from or in connection with the past, present or
future operations of the REIT or Borrower or their respective predecessors in
interest) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant
thereto, the making of and participation in the Loans and the management of the
Loans, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans (collectively,
the "INDEMNIFIED MATTERS"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall have no
obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to (i) matters for which such
Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to or for which an exemption is
provided in SECTION 2.4.7 or any other provision of this Agreement, (ii)
Indemnified Matters to the extent caused by or resulting from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, and (iii) Indemnified Matters arising from any dispute
among the Lenders not attributable to the actions or omissions of Borrower or
the REIT. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless
set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative
of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which
it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. 12.3 CHANGE
IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any changes in
accounting principles from those used in the preparation of the most recent
financial statements delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof are
hereinafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and
opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar
functions) and are adopted by the REIT or Borrower with the agreement of its
independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in
the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, standards or terms
found herein, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to
amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired
result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of the REIT or
Borrower shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been
made; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no change in GAAP that would affect the method of
calculation of any of the financial covenants, standards or terms shall be given
effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended pursuant to
SECTION 12.4, to so reflect such change in accounting principles.

          12.4 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. (i) No amendment or modification of any
provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the written agreement of
Requisite Lenders (after notice to all Lenders) and Borrower (except for
amendments to SECTION 11.4.1 which do not require the consent of Borrower), and
(ii) no termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to
any departure by Borrower therefrom (except as expressly provided in SECTION
11.11.1 with respect to waivers of late fees), shall in any event be effective
without the written concurrence of Requisite Lenders (after notice to all
Lenders), which Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold at
their sole discretion, EXCEPT THAT:

               12.4.1 The following amendments, modifications or waivers shall
require the consent of all Lenders:

                         (a) increasing the Facility or increasing any Lender's
          Commitment without the consent of the affected Lender;

                         (b) changing the principal amount or final maturity of
          the Loans;

                         (c) reducing the interest rates applicable to the
          Loans;

                         (d) reducing the rates on which fees payable pursuant
          hereto are determined;

                         (e) forgiving or delaying any amount payable or
          receivable under ARTICLE II (other than late fees);

                         (f) changing the definition of "Requisite Lenders",
          "Pro Rata Shares" or "Event of Default";

                         (g) changing any provision contained in this SECTION
          12.4;

                         (h) releasing any obligor or guarantor under any Loan
          Document or amending the Guaranty to reduce the guarantor's liability
          thereunder;

                         (i) consent to assignment by Borrower of all of its
          duties and Obligations hereunder pursuant to SECTION 12.14; or

                         (j) changing any of the financial covenants set forth
          in ARTICLE IX or any of the definitions used in the computation of
          such covenants or waiving any failure of the Borrower to comply with
          any one of such covenants for two or more consecutive Fiscal Quarters.

               12.4.2 No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
provision of ARTICLE XI or any other provision referring to Agent shall be
effective without the written concurrence of Agent, but only if such amendment,
modification, termination or waiver alters the obligations or rights of Agent.

Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower
in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver
or consent effected in accordance with this SECTION 12.4 shall be binding on
each assignee, transferee or recipient of Agent's or any Lender's interest under
this Agreement or the Loans at the time outstanding.

          12.5 INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid
the occurrence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default if such
action is taken or condition exists, and if a particular action or condition is
expressly permitted under any covenant, unless expressly limited to such
covenant, the fact that it would not be permitted under the general provisions
of another covenant shall not constitute an Event of Default or Unmatured Event
of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

          12.6 NOTICES AND DELIVERY. Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, any consent, notice or other communication herein required or permitted
to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied or sent
by courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given
when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a telecopy (or
on the next Business Day if such telecopy is received on a non-Business Day or
after 5:00 p.m. (at the office of the recipient) on a Business Day) or four (4)
Business Days after deposit in the United States mail (registered or certified,
with postage prepaid and properly addressed). Notices to Agent pursuant to
ARTICLE II shall not be effective until received by Agent. For the purposes
hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is
delivered as provided in this SECTION 12.6) shall be as set forth below each
party's name on the signature pages hereof, or, as to each party, at such other
address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the
other parties. All deliveries to be made to Agent for distribution to the
Lenders shall be made to Agent at the addresses specified for notice on the
signature page hereto and in addition, a sufficient number of copies of each
such delivery shall be delivered to Agent for delivery to each Lender at the
address specified for deliveries on the signature page hereto or such other
address as may be designated by Agent in a written notice.

          12.7 SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES, INDEMNITIES AND AGREEMENTS. All
agreements, representations, warranties and indemnities made or given herein
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans hereunder and such
indemnities shall survive termination hereof.

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

          12.9 PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment
or payments to Agent or the Lenders or Agent or the Lenders exercise their
rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such setoff or
any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

          12.10 SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the rates of interest or any other amount payable hereunder, or
the collectibility thereof, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, Lenders' obligations to make Loans shall not be enforceable.

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

          12.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS.

          12.13 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, no claim may be made by Borrower, any Lender or any other Person against
Agent or any Lender, or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
attorneys or agents of any of them, for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other
theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
therewith; and Borrower and each Lender hereby waive, release and agree not to
sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or
not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

          12.14 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
the successors and permitted assigns of Agent and Lenders. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any assignee or
transferee of the Loans of Lenders under this Agreement, and in the event of
such transfer or assignment, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon
Agent and Lenders shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee
or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Borrower's rights
or any interest therein hereunder, and Borrower's duties and Obligations
hereunder, shall not be assigned without the consent of all Lenders.

          12.15 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL AND CERTAIN DAMAGE CLAIMS. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST
BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE, AND
ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE, BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS,
AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF
AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE
JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY
FINAL JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY FROM WHICH NO APPEAL HAS BEEN TAKEN OR IS
AVAILABLE. BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES
THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS NOTICE ADDRESS
SPECIFIED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF. BORROWER, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (i) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND (ii) ANY OBJECTION (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION OF THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS
OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS) WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY
PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR
RECOVER IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ANY
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN,
OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES PURSUANT TO M.G.L.
C.93A ET SEQ. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO
BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

          12.16 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS; INCONSISTENCIES. This Agreement and
any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when Borrower, the initial
Lenders and Agent have duly executed and delivered execution pages of this
Agreement to each other (delivery by Borrower to Lenders and by any Lender to
Borrower and any other Lender being deemed to have been made by delivery to
Agent). This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed
to the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent
that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually and directly
inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, this
Agreement shall govern.

          12.17 CONSTRUCTION. The parties acknowledge that each party and its
counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the
drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or
any amendments or exhibits hereto.

          12.18 OBLIGATIONS UNSECURED. It is the intent of the parties that the
Obligations shall constitute unsecured obligations of Borrower. Neither the
restrictions and prohibitions set forth herein with respect to the creation,
incurrence, assumption or existence of any Lien on any Property of Borrower or
any other Person, nor those set forth in any other Loan Document, are intended
to create or constitute a Lien of any nature upon any Property of Borrower or
any other Person, and no such restriction or prohibition shall be deemed to
constitute any such Lien. This SECTION 12.18 shall not be deemed to prevent the
Agent or any Lender from obtaining a Lien as security for the Obligations at any
time hereafter pursuant to a mutual agreement among the parties hereto expressly
providing for such Lien or during the continuance of any Event of Default.

          12.19 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, taken together with all of the
other Loan Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by
Borrower to Agent (including documents incorporating separate agreements
relating to the payment of fees), embodies the entire agreement and supersede
all prior agreements, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
