    THIS
      BINDING LETTER OF INTENT (the “LOI”), is made this 15th day of August 2005, by
      Dark Dynamite, Inc. (“DDYI”), a Nevada corporation, the persons executing this
      LOI listed on the signature page (referred to collectively as the “DDYI
      Shareholder”) and Shanxi Kai Da Lv You Gu Wen You Xian Gong Si ("Kai
      Da"),
      a
      corporation formed according
      to the laws of P.R. China. This LOI sets forth the terms and conditions upon
      which DDYI and its shareholders shall enter into a binding acquisition agreement

    TERMS

     

    

    
      	1.  	
              DDYI
                confirms that it currently has 2,000,000 shares of common stock
                outstanding ("common stock") and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock
                outstanding ("preferred stock"), which convert into common stock
                at a
                ratio of 1:25. DDYI pledges that no new shares will be issued to
                other
                parties except
                Kai
                Da
                unless this LOI is cancelled. DDYI
                further guarantees that there are no outstanding options and no toxic
                pill
                convertible debentures.

            

    

     

    
      	2.  	
              DDYI
                Shareholders will tender 4,990,000 shares of preferred stock to Kai
                Da
                shareholders
                in
                exchange for a cash payment of $495,000. In addition, Kai
                Da
                will become a wholly owned subsidiary of DDYI. Kai
                Da
                will immediately convert 1,600,000 shares of the preferred stock
                into
                40,000,000 shares of common stock. DDYI Shareholders will retain
                10,000
                preferred shares as an investment.

            

    

     

    
      	3.  	
              The
                above purchase and issuance will give Kai
                Da
                a
                'controlling interest' in DDYI
                representing approximately 98% of
                the issued and outstanding shares.
                Kai
                Da will maintain DDYI's active trading status on the NASD’s
                Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation
                market.

            

    

     

    
      	4.  	
              DDYI
                will prepare and file the necessary Securities and Exchange Commission
                ("SEC") filings, including Forms 8-K. DDYI will make all appropriate
                shareholder notifications in connection with the merger. Kai
                Da
                will pay all filing and compliance costs including their financial
                audits.
                Kai
                Da
                will also prepare the Plan of Exchange for this
                transaction.

            

    

     

    
      	5.  	
              A
                Plan of Exchange will be executed by both parties on or about August
                29,
                2005 (the “Closing”). Kai Da
                agrees to provide audited financial statements of 2004 ("Audit Report")
                within 4 days after all the terms of the Plan of Exchange have been
                fulfilled and the escrow is closed (on or before September 28, 2005)
                as
                required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This will be
                performed
                by a PCAOB member audit firm at Kai
                Da's
                expense.
                If Kai Da fails to provide Audit Report within 4 days after such
                time,
                DDYI shall have the unilateral right to rescind all
                agreements.

Loans which shall be made by the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section
2.16. The ratable Advances may be Floating Rate Advances, LIBOR Rate Advances or
a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.8
and 2.9.

     2.3 Final Principal Payment. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid
Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination
Date.

     2.4 Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the "Facility Fee") equal to an
aggregate amount computed on a daily basis by multiplying the Facility Fee
Percentage applicable to such day times the Aggregate Commitment in effect on
such day. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first
Business Day after the last day of each calendar quarter and upon any
termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety under Section 2.1
hereof.

     2.5 Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Borrower's letter agreement with the
Administrative Agent dated as of June 21, 2005 (the "Fee Letter").

     2.6 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance shall be in the minimum
amount of $200,000; provided, however, that, subject to Section 2.1, any
Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment.

                                       17
<PAGE>

     2.7 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business
Day's notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the Advances, which notice
shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of
LIBOR Rate Advances, Floating Rate Advances, Swingline Loans or a combination
thereof, and if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; provided,
however, that (i) any partial prepayment under this Subsection shall be in an
amount not less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof and; (ii) any LIBOR Rate Advance prepaid on any day other than the last
day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period must be accompanied by any amounts
payable pursuant to Section 3.4. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such
notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on
the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.4.

     2.8 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The
Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Rate
Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a "Borrowing
Notice") in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto (i) not later than 1:00 p.m.
Cleveland time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of
each Floating Rate Advance, (ii) not later than noon Cleveland time, at least
three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Rate Advance,
and (iii) not later than noon Cleveland time on the same Business Day as the
Borrowing Date for each Swingline Advance of:

          (i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such
     Advance,

          (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,

          (iii) the Type of Advance selected, and

          (iv) in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period
     applicable thereto.

     Each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately
available in Cleveland to the Administrative Agent at its address specified
pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than (i) 11:00 a.m.
(Cleveland time), in the case of Floating Rate Advances which have been
requested by a Borrowing Notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such
Borrowing Date, (ii) 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time), in the case of Swingline
Advances or (iii) noon (Cleveland time) in the case of all other Advances. The
Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available
to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address.

     No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless
the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than six
(6) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one
time.

     2.9 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate
Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating
Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Rate Advances. Each LIBOR Rate Advance
shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance until the end of the then applicable
LIBOR Interest Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Rate Advance shall be
automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower shall
have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting
that, at the end of such LIBOR Interest Period, such LIBOR Rate Advance either
continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be

                                       18
<PAGE>

converted to an Advance of another Type. Subject to the terms of Section 2.6,
the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an
Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any
conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of
each conversion of an Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance or continuation of a LIBOR
Rate Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time), at least three Business
Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance,
prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

          (i) the requested date which shall be a Business Day, of such
     conversion or continuation;

          (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be
     converted or continued; and

          (iii) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is
     to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or
     continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the duration of the LIBOR Interest
     Period applicable thereto.

     2.10 Changes in Interest Rate, Etc.Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and
including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Rate
Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 to but excluding
the date it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance pursuant to
Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day.
Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a
Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the
Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest from and
including the first day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto to (but
not including) the last day of such LIBOR Interest Period at the interest rate
determined as applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance.

     2.11 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 2.8 or 2.9, during the continuance of a Default or
Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the
Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as,
converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Advance. During the continuance of a
Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower
(which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that the Default Rate shall
apply, provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable
automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2, unless waived by the
Required Lenders.

     2.12 Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be
made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds
to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's address specified
pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the
Administrative Agent specified in writing at least three (3) Business Days in
advance by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (Cleveland time) on
the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among
the Lenders. As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders' interests in the
Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of

                                       19
<PAGE>

such Lenders' interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment
delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to
be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid
promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received
prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business
Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that
the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article
XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the
Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative
Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the
Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until
the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the
account of the Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of principal,
interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

     2.13 Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record
the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule
attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not
affect the Borrower's obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby
authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or
continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds
based on written notices made by any Authorized Officer and Borrower agrees to
deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent such written notice. The
Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but
not more often than monthly, provide notice of the amount of the outstanding
Aggregate Commitment, the Type of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if
for a LIBOR Rate Advance. Upon a Lender's furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to
such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall
deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the
same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.

     2.14 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on
each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first
such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration
or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its
entirety under Section 2.1 hereof. Interest, Facility Letter of Credit Fees and
Facility Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not
for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to
noon (Cleveland time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or
interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case
of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing
interest in connection with such payment.

     2.15 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. The
Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing
Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it
hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice
is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify
each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Advance promptly
upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice
of each change in the Alternate Base Rate

     2.16 Swingline Advances. In addition to the other options available to the
Borrower hereunder, the Swingline Commitment shall be available for Swingline
Advances subject to the following terms and conditions. Swingline Advances shall
be made available for same day borrowings provided that notice is given in
accordance with Section 2.8 hereof. All Swingline Advances shall bear interest
at the One Day LIBOR Rate. In no event shall the Swingline Lender be required to

                                       20
<PAGE>

fund a Swingline Advance if it would increase the total aggregate outstanding
Loans by Swingline Lender hereunder plus its Percentage of Facility Letter of
Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of the Swingline Lender's Commitment.
No Swingline Advance may be made to repay a Swingline Advance, but Borrower may
repay Swingline Advances from subsequent pro rata Advances hereunder. On the
fifth (5th) Business Day after such a Swingline Advance was made, if such
Swingline Advance has not been paid, each Lender irrevocably agrees to purchase
its Percentage of any Swingline Advance made by the Swingline Lender regardless
of whether the conditions for disbursement are satisfied at the time of such
purchase, including the existence of a Default hereunder provided that Swingline
Lender did not have actual knowledge of such Default at the time the Swingline
Advance was made and provided further that no Lender shall be required to have
total outstanding Loans plus its Percentage of Facility Letters of Credit exceed
its Commitment. Such purchase shall take place on the date of the request by
Swingline Lender so long as such request is made by noon (Cleveland time), and
otherwise on the Business Day following such request. All requests for purchase
shall be in writing. From and after the date it is so purchased, each such
Swingline Advance shall, to the extent purchased, (i) be treated as a Loan made
by the purchasing Lenders and not by the selling Lender for all purposes under
this Agreement and the payment of the purchase price by a Lender shall be deemed
to be the making of a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding
principal under such Lender's Note, and (ii) shall no longer be considered a
Swingline Advance except that all interest accruing on or attributable to such
Swingline Advance for the period prior to the date of such purchase shall be
paid when due by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Swingline Lender and all such amounts accruing on or attributable to such Loans
for the period from and after the date of such purchase shall be paid when due
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the purchasing
Lenders. If prior to purchasing its Percentage of a Swingline Advance one of the
events described in Section 7.7 shall have occurred and such event prevents the
consummation of the purchase contemplated by preceding provisions, each Lender
will purchase an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swingline
Advance in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Swingline Advance. From and
after the date of each Lender's purchase of its participating interest in a
Swingline Advance, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account
thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating
interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating
interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that
such payment was received by the Swingline Lender and is required to be returned
to the Borrower, each Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion
thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it. If any Lender
fails to so purchase its Percentage of any Swingline Advance, such Lender shall
be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

     2.17 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending
Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation
from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending
Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit
of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice at
least three (3) Business Days in advance to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by
it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

     2.18 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower
or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the
time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i)
in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the
Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment,

                                       21
<PAGE>

the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such
payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such
payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on
demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount
so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during
the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the
Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so
repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one
Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by
such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received
from the Borrower.

     2.19 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall
be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving
payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income
tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (b) cannot maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans at a
suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3, with a replacement bank
or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not
conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the
Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to the Borrower) no Unmatured
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
(iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall
purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender
prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such
replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such
replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution,
if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement
shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any)
required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

     2.20 Usury. This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express
condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay
interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any
Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of
the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents,
Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal
balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the
interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be
immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in
excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention
of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated
term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on
account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time
to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is
outstanding.

                                       22
<PAGE>

     2.21 Increase in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower shall also have the
right from time to time, provided no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred
and is then continuing, to increase the Aggregate Commitment up to a maximum of
$400,000,000 by either adding new lenders as Lenders (subject to the
Administrative Agent's prior written approval of the identity of such new
lenders) or obtaining the agreement, which shall be at such Lender's or Lenders'
sole discretion, of one or more of the then current Lenders to increase its or
their Commitments. The Administrative Agent's approval of any new lenders shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. On the effective date of any such
increase, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any amounts due to
it under the Fee Letter and to each lender providing such additional Commitment
the up-front fee agreed to by the Borrower. Such increases shall be evidenced by
the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of
Exhibit G attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new
lender or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment, a copy of which
shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after
execution thereof. On the effective date of each such increase in the Aggregate
Commitment, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall cause the new or
existing Lenders providing such increase, by either funding more than its or
their Percentage of new Advances made on such date or purchasing shares of
outstanding Loans held by the other Lenders or a combination thereof, to hold
its or their Percentage of all Advances outstanding at the close of business on
such day. The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of
outstanding Advances to achieve such result, provided that Borrower shall be
responsible for paying any amounts due under Section 3.4 to any Lender which
sells all or any portion of a Fixed Rate Advance on a date which is not the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. In no event shall the Aggregate
Commitment exceed $400,000,000 without the approval of all of the Lenders.

     2.22 Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Borrower shall have one
(1) option to extend the Facility Termination Date for a period of one (1) year,
upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

     (a) The Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice of
the Borrower's intent to exercise either such extension option not more than one
hundred eighty (180) and not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then-current
Facility Termination Date;

     (b) As of the date of the Borrower's delivery of notice of its intent to
exercise an extension option, and as of the then-current Facility Termination
Date, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
the Borrower shall so certify in writing; and

     (c) On or before the then-current Facility Termination Date, the Borrower
shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an extension
fee for any extension so exercised in an amount equal to 0.15% of the Aggregate
Commitment to be effective as of the first day of such extension.

                                   ARTICLE IIA
                                   -----------

                          LETTER OF CREDIT SUBFACILITY
                          ----------------------------

     2A.1 Obligation to Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the
Borrower herein set forth, the Issuing Bank hereby agrees to issue for the
account of the Borrower, one or more Facility Letters of Credit in accordance
with this Article IIA, from time to time during the period commencing on the
Agreement Effective Date and ending on a date sixty (60) days prior to the
then-current Facility Termination Date.

     2A.2 Types and Amounts. The Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to:

          (i) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if the aggregate maximum
     amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit issued by such
     Issuing Bank, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit
     requested hereunder, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation
     upon such Issuing Bank;

          (ii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if, after giving effect
     thereto, (1) the then applicable Allocated Facility Amount would exceed the
     then current Aggregate Commitment, or (2) the Facility Letter of Credit
     Obligations would exceed the Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit; or

          (iii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit having an expiration date,
     or containing automatic extension provision to extend such date, to a date
     beyond the thirtieth (30th) day preceding the then-current Facility
     Termination Date.

     2A.3 Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions contained in Article IV hereof, the obligation of the Issuing Bank to
issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of
the following conditions:

          (i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Issuing Bank at such
     times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe such
     documents and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms
     of the proposed Facility Letter of Credit (it being understood that if any
     inconsistency exists between such documents and the Loan Documents, the
     terms of the Loan Documents shall control) and the proposed Facility Letter
     of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form
     and content;

          (ii) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any
     court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms to
     enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the requested Facility
     Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing
     Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
     from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank
     shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance
     of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of the requested Facility
     Letter or Credit in particular; and

          (iii) there shall not exist any Default.

     2A.4 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.

          (a) Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent
at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice of any requested issuance
of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement (a "Letter of Credit
Request"), (and Administrative Agent shall, upon request by a Lender, provide a
copy of such requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit) (i) immediately
(A) of a telecopy of the written notice required hereunder which has been signed
by an Authorized Officer, or (B) of a telex containing all information required
to be contained in such written notice and (ii) promptly (but in no event later
than the requested date of issuance) of the written notice required hereunder

                                       23
<PAGE>

containing the original signature of an authorized officer); such notice shall
be irrevocable, except as provided in Section 2A.4(b)(i) below, and shall
specify:

     (1)  the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested (which
          stated amount shall not be less than $50,000);

     (2)  the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of
          such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the "Issuance Date");

     (3)  the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to
          expire (which day shall be a Business Day);

     (4)  the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued;

     (5)  the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit
          is to be issued; and

     (6)  any special language required to be included in the Facility Letter of
          Credit.

At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the
Facility Letter of Credit that the Borrower is requesting be issued. Such
notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent not later than noon (Cleveland time) on the last Business
Day on which notice can be given under this Section 2A.4(a).

          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IIA and
provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV hereof have been
satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter
of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit
Request and the Issuing Bank's usual and customary business practices unless the
Issuing Bank has actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower
specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility
Letter of Credit given not later than Business Day immediately preceding the
Issuance Date, or (ii) written or telephonic notice from the Administrative
Agent stating that the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate
Section 2A.2.

          (c) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent (who shall
promptly notify Lenders) and the Borrower written or telex notice, or telephonic
notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Facility
Letter of Credit (the "Issuance Notice").

          (d) The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of
Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2A.4 are met as though a new
Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

     2A.5 Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.

          (a) The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) of any draw under a
Facility Letter of Credit. Any such draw shall not be deemed to be a default
hereunder but shall constitute an Advance of the Facility in the amount of the
Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and
shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent
Facility Letter of Credit at the Floating Rate Advance; provided that if a
Default or an Unmatured Default regarding the non-payment of any monetary

                                       24
<PAGE>

obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders exists at the time of any
such drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings
under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank no later than the
next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing Bank and until
repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

          (b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under
or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the
absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Issuing
Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or, provided that such Issuing
Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 2A.4 and such Lender
has not given a notice contemplated by Section 2A.6(a) that continues in full
force and effect, relieve that Lender of its obligations hereunder to the
Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit,
the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to
confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit
appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on
their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

     2A.6 Participation.

          (a) Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Facility
Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2A.4,
each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased
and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender's
Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all
obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and all related rights
hereunder and under the Guaranty and other Loan Documents. Each Lender's
obligation to make further Loans to Borrower (other than any payments such
Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or to purchase an
interest from the Issuing Bank in any subsequent Facility Letters of Credit
issued by the Issuing Bank on behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such
Lender's Percentage of the undrawn portion of each Facility Letter of Credit
outstanding.

          (b) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any
Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to
the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2A.7 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each
Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of
such Lender's Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank.
Lender's payments of its Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation as
aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute
outstanding principal under such Lender's Note. The failure of any Lender to
make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank
its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the
unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but
no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make
available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount
of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. Any Lender which fails to
make any payment required pursuant to this Section 2A.6(b) shall be deemed to be
a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

                                       25
<PAGE>

          (c) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a
Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall
promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein,
in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage
thereof.

          (d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the
Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any
Facility Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other
documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or
Lender.

          (e) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of
Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any
counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a
failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement
relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, and such payments
shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
under all circumstances.

     2A.7 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

          (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for Reimbursement
Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank under or in
connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due, irrespective of any
claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time
against any Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including
without limitation any of the following circumstances:

               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
          any of the other Loan Documents;

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

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

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

               (v) the occurrence of any Default.

          (b) In the event any payment by the Borrower received by the Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and
distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their

                                       26
<PAGE>

participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received
such distribution shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, contribute
such Lender's Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together
with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by the Issuing Bank
or the Administrative Agent.

     2A.8 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.

          (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon the
Lenders' respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the "Facility Letter of Credit
Fee") as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit
outstanding equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time
while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding. The Facility Letter of
Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily
basis and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each
calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and,
to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination
Date or any other earlier date that the Obligations are due and payable in full.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit
Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages
thereof. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure
of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and
shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective
payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such
payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.12 hereof.

          (b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for
its own account an issuance fee equal to the greater of (a) $1,500 or (b)
one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of each Facility Letter of
Credit, payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility
Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof.
The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and the Issuing Bank's standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing
Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder.

     2A.9 Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Borrower hereby agrees that
it will immediately upon the occurrence of the Default, establish a special
collateral account (the "Letter of Credit Collateral Account") at the
Administrative Agent's office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII,
in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and in which the Borrower
shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Letter of
Credit Collateral Account shall hold the deposits the Borrower is required to
make after a Default on account of any outstanding Facility Letters of Credit as
described in Section 8.1. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security
interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that
may hereafter be on deposit in such account, including income earned thereon.
The Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Borrower has no obligation to fund
the Letter of Credit Collateral Account unless and until so required under
Section 8.1 hereof.

                             CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
                             -----------------------

     3.1 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the
adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation,
policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or
applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency:

          (i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any
     Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with
     respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Rate
     Loans, or

          (ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
     insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
     deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or
     any applicable Lending Installation (other than the Reserve Requirement and
     any other reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the
     interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances), or

          (iii) imposes any other condition the direct result of which is to
     increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of
     making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount
     receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in
     connection with its LIBOR Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any
     applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference
     to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by a material amount.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining
its LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such
Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such LIBOR Rate
Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower
shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

     3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender in good faith
determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then,
within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the
portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is
attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its
obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender's
policies as to capital adequacy). "Change" means (i) any change after the date
of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined)
or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this
Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation
controlling any Lender. "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based
capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement,

                                       28
<PAGE>

including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations
promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the
July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory
Practices Entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurements and
Capital Standards," including transition rules, and any amendments to such
regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

     3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender in good faith
determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending
Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive,
whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with
written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of
Advance and require any LIBOR Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid;
or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type
or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Rate Advances are not available, the
Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the
availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate
Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate
applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a
LIBOR Rate Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the
provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with
written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of
Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such
determination. If the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, the
Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the
amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Floating Rate.

     3.4 Funding Indemnification.If any payment of a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance
occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period,
whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable LIBOR
Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason
other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to
Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost
incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or
cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits
acquired to fund or maintain the ratable LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all
such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.

     3.5 Taxes.

          (i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender
     or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free
     and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower
     shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
     payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum
     payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
     deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
     under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the
     case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
     no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions,
     (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
     authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall
     furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt
     evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

          (ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or
     future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes,
     charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or

                                       29
<PAGE>

     under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with
     respect to, this Agreement or any Note ("Other Taxes").

          (iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent
     and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
     without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable
     under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and
     any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
     therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification
     shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such
     Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

          (iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
     States of America or a state thereof (each a "Non-U.S. Lender") agrees that
     it will, not more than ten Business Days after the Agreement Execution
     Date, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two
     duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
     or W-8ECI, 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, and (ii) deliver to each of the
     Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form
     W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an
     exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender
     further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the
     Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any
     successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes
     obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
     the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or
     amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
     Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding
     sentence shall certify 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 or amendment with respect to it and such
     Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not
     capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of
     United States federal income tax.

          (v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to
     provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv),
     above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation,
     or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
     governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form
     originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be
     entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes
     imposed by the United States.

          (vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
     withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note
     pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall
     deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the
     time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and
     executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
     payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following
     receipt of such documentation.

                                       30
<PAGE>

          (vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental
     authority of the United States or any other country or any political
     subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not
     properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
     (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed,
     because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change
     in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective,
     or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative
     Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the
     Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including
     penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
     amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together
     with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and
     time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may
     be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders
     under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations
     and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to
     indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification
     from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this
     Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the
     actions giving rise to such liability.

     3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably
possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with
respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such
Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR
Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender
shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2,
3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the
calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final,
conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR
Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Rate Loan
through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the
deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such
Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on
demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations
of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of
the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                         ------------------------------

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

     5.1 Existence.Borrower is a limited partnership duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal place of
business in Columbus, Ohio and is duly qualified as a foreign limited
partnership, properly licensed (if required), in good standing and has all
requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its
business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed and
in good standing and to have the requisite authority would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each of the Parent Entities and Borrower's Subsidiaries are duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation and have all requisite authority to conduct its
business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where
the failure to be so qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the
requisite authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.2 Authorization and Validity.The Borrower has the limited partnership
power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents
and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the
Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance of its obligations thereunder

                                       33
<PAGE>

have been duly authorized by proper limited partnership proceedings, and the
Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower
enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

     5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by
the Borrower or the Parent Entities of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation
of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions
thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower, the Parent Entities, or any
of Borrower's Subsidiaries or the Borrower's, Parent Entities' or any
Subsidiary's articles of incorporation, operating agreements, partnership
agreement, or by-laws, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or
agreement to which the Borrower, the Parent Entities or any of Borrower's
Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is
bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, except where such
violation, conflict or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of
the Borrower, Parent Entity or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such
indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license,
authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or
exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision
thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding
effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents other than the filing of
a copy of this Agreement.

     5.4 Financial Statements; Material Adverse Effect.All consolidated
financial statements of the Loan Parties heretofore or hereafter delivered to
the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the preparation
date of such statements and fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial condition and operations of the Loan Parties at such date
and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended,
subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal and customary
year-end adjustments. From the preparation date of the most recent financial
statements delivered to the Lenders through the Agreement Execution Date, there
was no change in the business, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.5 Taxes.The Loan Parties have filed all United States federal tax returns
and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes
due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except such taxes, if any, as are being
contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. No
tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to such
taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

     5.6 Litigation and Guarantee Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule
5.6 hereto or as set forth in written notice to the Administrative Agent from
time to time, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation,
proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers,
threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has no material
contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements
referred to in Section 6.1 or as set forth in written notices to the
Administrative Agent given from time to time after the Agreement Execution Date
on or about the date such material contingent obligations are incurred.

Subsidiaries that are corporations have been duly authorized and issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable.

     5.8 ERISA.The Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans do not in
the aggregate exceed $1,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any other member of

respect to any Plan, neither the Borrower nor any other members of the
Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no
steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.

the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with
the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any
material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact

terms of this Agreement.

     5.11 Material Agreements. Neither the Borrower, nor the Parent Entities,
nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any
charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower, nor the Parent Entities
nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment
of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any
agreement to which it is a party, which default could have a Material Adverse
Effect, or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing
Indebtedness, which default would constitute a Default hereunder.

     5.12 Compliance With Laws.The Borrower has complied with all applicable
statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign
government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over
the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective

Effect. The Loan Parties have not received any notice to the effect that its
operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of
applicable federal, state and local environmental, health and safety statutes
and regulations or the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating
whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or
hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or
remedial action could have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.13 Ownership of Projects.Except as set forth on Schedule 5.13 hereto, on
the date of this Agreement, the Borrower will have good and marketable title,
free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.16, to all of the

     valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent
     or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis;
     (b) the present fair saleable value of the Property of the Borrower and its
     Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that
     will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its
     Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities,
     subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities
     become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a

          (ii) The Borrower does not intend to, or to permit any of its
     Subsidiaries to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries
     will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature,
     taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it
     or any such Subsidiary and the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable
     on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such
     Subsidiary.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                 ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
                 ----------------------------------------------

     8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 occurs
with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and
hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately
become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, so long as a
Default exists Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and the
Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully
cured, may permanently terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans
hereunder and declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon
if the Required Lenders elected to accelerate (i) the Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of
any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any
automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as
directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30
days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the
best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion), shall use its good faith
efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently
pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower and any Guarantor
under the Loan Documents.

     In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Default and so
long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been
cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Required Lenders the
Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an
amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility
Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due
with respect thereto. The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall not be entitled to receive any
interest thereon. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the
Facility Letters of Credit and associated issuance costs and fees. Such funds,
if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the
payment of all Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over
to the Borrower.

                                       46
<PAGE>

     If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or
termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a
result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.7 or 7.8
with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment
of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders
(in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by
notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

     8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII the Required
Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required
Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing
in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any
Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement or
waiver shall, without the consent of all Lenders:

          (i) Extend the Facility Termination Date, or forgive all or any
     portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon or
     the Facility Fee, reduce the Applicable Margins (or modify any definition
     herein which would have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margins) or
     the underlying interest rate options or extend the time of payment of any
     such principal, interest or facility fees.

          (ii) release any Parent Entity from the Guaranty.

          (iii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required
     Lenders.

          (iv) Increase the Aggregate Commitment beyond $400,000,000.

          (v) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

          (vi) Amend Sections 8.1, 8.2 , or 11.2.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative
Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative
Agent.

     8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair
such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence
therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or
the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan
shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. 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 the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, 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 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the
Obligations have been paid in full.

     8.4 Insolvency of Borrower. In the event of the insolvency of the Borrower,
the Lenders shall have no obligation to make further disbursements of the
Facility, and the outstanding principal balance of the Facility, including
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable.

obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender

perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to
confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this
Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

     9.7 Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent for any costs, and out-of-pocket expenses (including,

Agent in connection with the amendment, modification, and enforcement of the
Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket
expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and reasonable expenses for

therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent, or any Lender is a party
thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Projects, the transactions contemplated
hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the
proceeds of any Loan hereunder, except to the extent that any of the foregoing
arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking
indemnification therefor. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation,
enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to
this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

     9.11 Nonliability of Lenders.The relationship between the Borrower, on the
one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, shall be
solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any

Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any
phase of the Borrower's business or operations.

AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER
IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
                            ------------------------

     10.1 Appointment.KeyBank National Association, is hereby appointed
Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of
the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent
of such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express
conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined
term "Administrative Agent," it is expressly understood and agreed that the
Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender
by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the
Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the
Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders' contractual
representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any
fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a "representative" of the
Lenders within the meaning of the term "secured party" as defined in the Ohio
Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the
rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to
assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any
other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each
Lender hereby waives.

     10.2 Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such
powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no
implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any
action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents
to be taken by the Administrative Agent.

     10.3 General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the
Lenders or any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or
them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or
therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(ii) any determination by the Administrative Agent that compliance with any law
or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, order, policy,
guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) requires the
Advances and Commitments hereunder to be classified as being part of a "highly
leveraged transaction".

     10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc.Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document
or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including,
without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly
to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV,
except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent;
(iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any
other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (v) the value,
sufficiency, creation, perfection, or priority of any interest in any collateral
security; or (vi) the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

                                       50
<PAGE>

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall
have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be
furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is
voluntarily furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (either in its
capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).

     10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders.The Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder
and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed
by the required percentage of the Lenders needed to take such action or refrain
from taking such action, and such instructions and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders
hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take
any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in
writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under
any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it
may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

     10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel.The Administrative Agent may execute
any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan
Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or
its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the
agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan
Document.

     10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel.The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect
to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative
Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

     10.8 Administrative Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification.The Lenders
agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion
to their respective Commitments (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the
Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the
Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan
Documents, if not paid by Borrower and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in
connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including without
limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative
Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement
of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of the Administrative
Agent's express obligations and undertakings to the Lenders. The obligations of
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive
payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

                                       51
<PAGE>

     10.9 Rights as a Lender.In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender,
the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and
under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall,
at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context
otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and
generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in
addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such
Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

     10.10 Lender Credit Decision.Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 and the other Loan Documents.

     10.11 Successor Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided below,
KeyBank National Association shall at all times serve as the Administrative
Agent during the term of this Facility. The Administrative Agent may resign at
any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such
resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative
Agent. If the Administrative Agent has been grossly negligent in the performance
of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent may be removed at any
time by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from all other
Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the other
Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall
appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative
Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent's
giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative
Agent shall appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor
Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative
Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint
any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative
Agent hereunder. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be
appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the
appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank
having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the
resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

     10.12 Notice of Defaults.If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or
Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on
the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured

                                       52
<PAGE>

Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the
Lenders of such fact.

     10.13 Requests for Approval.If the Administrative Agent requests in writing
the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either
approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within
ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for
responses based on Administrative Agent's good faith determination that
circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such
written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so
respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request.

     10.14 Defaulting Lenders. At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to
the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all
Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the
Defaulting Lender may not be changed without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such
Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in
right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in
full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by
the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting
Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees
being referred to as "Senior Loans" for the purposes of this section). All
amounts paid by the Borrower or the Guarantors and otherwise due to be applied
to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in
accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for the purposes
hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid
in full provided, however, in no event will any such distribution to the other
Lenders give rise to any liability of the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender.
After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made
in connection with future payments by the Borrower to the extent a portion of
the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been
distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 10.14.
This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent,
each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the
obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective
regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding
(i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction
of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the
suspension of such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are
subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
                            ------------------------

     11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the
Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, or any Default
occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether
provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other
Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to
or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward
the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the
date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or
any part hereof, shall then be due.

                                       53
<PAGE>

     11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has
payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments of Swingline Loans and
payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater
proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly
upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so
that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans.
If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be
subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its
Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees,
promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share
in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case
any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate
further adjustments shall be made.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
                -------------------------------------------------

     12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders
and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall
not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents
and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section
12.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section
12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments
creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or
assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender
which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations
to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a
security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations
hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions
of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent and Borrower may treat the Person
which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all
purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and Borrower may in its
discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person
which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such
Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any
Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any
Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been
issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent
holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

     12.2 Participations.

          12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary
     course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
     sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any
     other funds or entities ("Participants") participating interests in any
     Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of
     such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents.
     In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a
     Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall
     remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
     parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall
     remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan
     Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall

                                       54
<PAGE>

     be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests,
     and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely
     and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
     obligations under the Loan Documents.

          12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to
     approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment,
     modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than
     any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or
     Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require
     consent of all the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any
     other Loan Document.

          12.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant
     which has previously advised the Borrower in writing of its purchase of a
     participation in a Lender's interest in its Loans shall be deemed to have
     the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its
     participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the
     same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
     directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall
     retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the
     amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that
     such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same
     portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from the
     Borrower twice. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each
     Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1,
     agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the
     exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance
     with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

     12.3 Assignments.

          12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course
     of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign
     to any of such Lender's affiliates or to one or more banks, financial
     institutions or pension funds, or with the prior approval of the Borrower,
     which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any other entity
     ("Purchasers") all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the
     Loan Documents provided that any assignment of only a portion of such
     rights and obligations shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000. In
     addition, KeyBank National Association agrees that it will not assign any
     portion of its Commitment or Commitments of its affiliates, if such
     assignment will result in the amount of the Commitment to be held by
     KeyBank National Association and its affiliates to be less than the next
     highest Commitment amount held by any other Lender provided that no Default
     has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval
     of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has
     occurred and is then continuing. Such assignment shall be substantially in
     the form of Exhibit D hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by
     the parties thereto. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be
     required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a
     Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Such consent shall
     not be unreasonably withheld.

          12.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative
     Agent and Borrower of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form
     attached as Exhibit "I" to Exhibit D hereto (a "Notice of Assignment"),
     together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of
     a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent for
     processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the
     effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of
     Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect

                                       55
<PAGE>

     that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment
     and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are "plan assets" as
     defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in
     and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA. On and
     after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all
     purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document
     executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a
     Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an
     original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower,
     the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the
     transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender shall automatically be
     released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the
     percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such
     Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant
     to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and
     the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes
     are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate,
     replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal
     amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such
     assignment.

     12.4 Dissemination of Information.The Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an
interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession
concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject to
Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

     12.5 Tax Treatment.If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to
any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with
the provisions of Section 3.5.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

counsel for such party) as may be designated by such party in a notice to the
other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage
prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by
telex or facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed

     13.2 Change of Address.The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any
Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in

Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower agrees to cooperate with each
Lender and provide true, accurate and complete information to such Lender in
response to any such request.

provided that (i) any such subsequent assignment does not violate any of the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or any law, rule, regulation, order,
writ, judgment, injunction or decree and that any consent required under the
terms of the Loan Documents has been obtained and (ii) unless the prior written
consent of the Assignor is obtained, the Assignee is not thereby released from
its obligations to the Assignor hereunder, if any remain unsatisfied, including,
without limitation, its obligations under Sections 4 and 7 hereof.

     9. REDUCTIONS OF AGGREGATE COMMITMENT. If any reduction in the Aggregate
Commitment occurs between the date of this Assignment Agreement and the

remain the same, but the dollar amount purchased shall be recalculated based on
the reduced Aggregate Commitment.

Assignment embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties
hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

precedent.

          5. If Notes are outstanding on the Effective Date, the Assignor and

upon its receipt of a new Note in the appropriate amount.

          6. The Assignee advises the Agent that notice and payment instructions

          7. The Assignee hereby represents and warrants that none of the funds,

benefits, and interests in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan
assets" under ERISA.

          8. The Assignee authorizes the Agent to act as its agent under the
Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof. The Assignee acknowledges

                                    GUARANTY
                                    --------

     This Guaranty is made as of August ____, 2005 by Glimcher Realty Trust, a
real estate investment trust organized under the laws of the State of Maryland
("Glimcher Trust") and Glimcher Properties Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Glimcher Properties", and together with Glimcher Trust, collectively, the
"Guarantors"), to and for the benefit of KeyBank National Association,
individually ("KeyBank") and as administrative agent ("Administrative Agent")
for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and
their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "Lenders").

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

     A. Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership, a limited partnership organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Borrower"), and Guarantors have
requested that the Lenders make a revolving credit facility available to
Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300,000,000, subject to
future increases to up to $400,000,000 (the "Facility").

     B. The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement of even date herewith among Borrower, KeyBank, individually, and as
Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified or
restated from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"). All capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Credit Agreement.

     C. Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the
Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender's Commitment and
promissory notes in the principal amount, if any, of each Lender's Loan as
evidence of Borrower's indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the
Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or
allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new
promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively
referred to herein as the "Notes").

     D. Glimcher Properties is the sole general partner in the Borrower and
Glimcher Trust is the owner of all of the stock of Glimcher Properties and
certain of the limited partnership interests in the Borrower. Guarantors
acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement will benefit Guarantors by
enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Guarantors
and Borrower are members. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by
Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their
obligations under the Credit Agreement.

                                   AGREEMENTS
                                   ----------

     NOW, THEREFORE, Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in
the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part
hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agree as follows:

     1. Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranty to each
of the Lenders:

                                      D-1
<PAGE>

          (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on
     the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
     otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums
     which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the
     Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

          (b) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in
     Paragraph 7 hereof); and

          (c) the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and
     satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements
     of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in
subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the
"Facility Indebtedness." All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this
Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the "Obligations."

     2. In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the
Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in
each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Guarantors
agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note, to pay all
the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or
thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the
Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

     3. Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of
every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii)
any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Guarantors may have against
Borrower or which Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment,
demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of
nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor,
protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all
formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Guarantors with
liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
inform Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may now
or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated
by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders have no duty so to inform and that Guarantors are fully
responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances
bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility
Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and
all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by
any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other security given
to a Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations.
Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrower
without notice to or authorization from Guarantors, regardless of the financial
or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or
discuss with Guarantors the Lenders' assessment of the financial condition of
Borrower. Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of any kind whatsoever
have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Guarantors. No
modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be
binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders except as expressly set
forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders. Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language
contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall

                                      D-2
<PAGE>

in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders from proceeding against Guarantors to enforce this
Guaranty.

     4. Guarantors further agree that Guarantors' liability as guarantor shall
in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time
to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantors of the time for
payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in
collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other
Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders' failure or
election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by
any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan
Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of
any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release
by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal
thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any
source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness,
even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any
part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that
Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility
Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been
paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit
Agreement, and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed,
notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantors further understand and agree that
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements
with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or any thereof, and may waive or release any provision or
provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document and, with
reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or
agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper
and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders' rights hereunder or any of Guarantors'
obligations hereunder.

     5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing
guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Guarantors agree that
their obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with each other and with
any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Facility from time to
time. Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or
exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or
with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or
resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantors hereby waive the right to
require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action
brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment
against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.
Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall
prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or
successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity
or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the
exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall
not constitute a discharge of any of Guarantors' obligations hereunder, it being
the purpose and intent of Guarantors that the obligations of such Guarantors
hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any
and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Guarantors' obligations under this
Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified,
changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification,
change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower's
bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by
or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed
to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any
time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the

                                      D-3
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required
to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization
of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made,
regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of
such payment. The obligations of Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

     6. This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Lender to any assignee of all or
a portion of such Lender's rights under the Loan Documents.

     7. If: (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents are placed
in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal
proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other
proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this
Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney
is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or to provide advice or
other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an
enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is
retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any other legal
proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit
Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property securing the Facility
Indebtedness (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or
participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the
Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Guarantors
shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable
attorney's fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs,
filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith
(all of which are referred to herein as "Enforcement Costs"), in addition to all
other amounts due hereunder.

     8. The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports
with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions.
However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or
provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of
any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative
or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such
portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid,
unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties
hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the
fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the
remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid,
unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not
contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the
Administrative Agent and the Lender or the holder of a Note under the remainder
of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

     9. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors now or hereafter existing is
hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Guarantors will not seek,
accept, or retain for Guarantors' own account, any payment from Borrower on
account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default exists under the
Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, and any such payments to Guarantors made
while any Default then exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents
on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by
Guarantors in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Facility Indebtedness without
impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantors hereunder.

     10. Guarantors hereby subordinate to the Facility Indebtedness any and all
claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights,
contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Guarantors
may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Guarantors under this

                                      D-4
<PAGE>

Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full,
not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Guarantors or the
Lenders or any right of Guarantors or the Lenders to proceed against (i)
Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral
security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lenders for the payment of
the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall
Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from
Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Guarantors
hereunder. It is expressly understood that the agreements of Guarantors set
forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Lenders
for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to
Borrower.

     11. Any amounts received by a Lender from any source on account of any
indebtedness may be applied by such Lender toward the payment of such
indebtedness, and in such order of application, as a Lender may from time to
time elect.

     12. Guarantors hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Ohio
for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights to
object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this
Guaranty. Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of either the Cuyahoga
County Court of Common Pleas in Cleveland, Ohio or the United States District
Court in Cleveland, Ohio in any action, suit, or proceeding which the
Administrative Agent or a Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with
this Guaranty or any related matter. Guarantors hereby agree that an action,
suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or
federal court in the State of Ohio and hereby waives any objection which
Guarantors may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or
proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this
Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Lender
from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.

     13. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by
facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth
below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to

                               ____________, 2005

KeyBank,
as Administrative Agent for the Lenders
127 Public Square, 8th Floor
Cleveland, Ohio

     Re:  $300,000,000 Credit Facility to Glimcher Properties Limited
          Partnership

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for the Borrower in connection with a $300,000,000
secured revolving credit facility, (the "Loan"), which Loan is being made
pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
August ____, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrower, KeyBank and the
several lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the "Lenders"),
and KeyBank, as Administrative Agent (the "Agent").

     In connection with the Loan we have been furnished with originals or copies
certified to our satisfaction of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Parent Entities, the partnership agreement and certificate of limited
partnership of the Borrower, and all such corporate and other records of the
Borrower and the Parent Entities, with such declarations and agreements, and
certificates of officers and representatives of the Borrower and the Parent
Entities and with such other documents, and we have made such other examinations
and investigations as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions
expressed below.

     We have examined the originals of the following documents, each of which is
addressed to the Lender or to which the Lender is a party (all of which are
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents"):

     1.   The Credit Agreement; and

     2.   [describe promissory notes and other Loan Documents].

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1.   Borrower is a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in
          good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower has
          all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its
          business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan
          Documents.

     2.   Each of the general partners of Borrower is a corporation or trust
          duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
          of the State of Delaware. Each of the general partners of Borrower has
          all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its
          business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan
          Documents.

     3.   The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the entities

          does not (i) require any consent or approval of any partner or
          shareholder of such entity or any other person or entity excepting
          such consents or approvals as have actually been obtained; (ii)
          violate any provision of any law, rule, or regulation of the United
          States or the State of Ohio, or any provision of the partnership or
          corporate law presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower
          or its general partners, as applicable; (iii) violate any provision of
          the partnership agreements of the Borrower or the articles of
          incorporation or bylaws of its general partners; (iv) violate any
          presently existing statutory or administrative provision or judicial
          decision applicable to the Borrower or its general partners; or (v)
          result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or
          instrument affecting the Borrowers or its general partners.

     3.   Each Loan Document to which it is a party (a) has been properly
          authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and the
          Parent Entities, (b) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding
          obligations of the Borrower and the Parent Entities, and (c) is
          enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     4.   To our knowledge, no presently existing authorization, exemption,
          consent, approval, license, or registration with any court or
          governmental department, commission, bureau, agency, or
          instrumentality will be necessary for the valid, binding, and
          enforceable execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower or the
          Parent Entities of the Loan Documents.

     5.   To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending
          or threatened against the Borrower or the Parent Entities before any
          court or governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably
          be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the
          Credit Agreement).

     6.   The Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, and
          the Loan, including the interest rate reserved in the applicable Note
          and all fees and charges paid or to be paid by or on behalf of
          Borrower in connection with such Loan pursuant to the applicable Loan
          Documents, is not in violation of the usury laws of the State of Ohio.

     The opinions expressed herein are expressly made subject to and qualified
by the following:

     (a) We have assumed that the Loan Documents are duly authorized and validly
executed and delivered by the Agent, the Lenders and all other parties other
than the Borrower and the Parent Entities.

     (b) This opinion is based upon existing laws, ordinances and regulations in
effect as of the date hereof.

     (c) This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable
federal law and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other
jurisdiction.

     (d) We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals (other than the Loan Documents) and the conformity to original
documents of all documents (other than the Loan Documents) submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies.

     (e) The opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that: (i) the
enforceability of any rights or remedies in any agreement or instruments may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) the availability of

                                      E-2

specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy is subject
to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

     This opinion may be relied upon by only by the addressees hereof, its
attorneys, auditors, advisors, participants, and their respective successors and
assigns, and not by any other party.

                                        Very truly yours,
