              (a)    Commitment to Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, each Lender hereby severally and not jointly agrees
to make a term loan, in Dollars (the "Term Loan") to the Borrower on the
Funding Date, in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
principal amount of $470,000,000. The aggregate amount of the Term Loan to be
made hereunder shall not exceed Four Hundred Seventy Million Dollars
($470,000,000). The Term Loan shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and
proportionately to their then respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood
that no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to
perform its obligation to make a Term Loan hereunder nor shall the Term Loan
Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any such
failure. The Term Loan Commitments, with respect to the making of the Term
Loan (and not with respect to the obligations of the Lenders to convert or
continue any Loans), shall expire on May 30, 2005.

              (b)    Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall provide to the
Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing, signed by it (x) no later than
12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the
proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (y)
no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in
advance of the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Rate Loans. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding
Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the proposed
Borrowing, (iii) whether the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the
requested Eurodollar Interest Period, (v) instructions for the disbursement of
the proceeds of the proposed Borrowing, (vi) an Officer's Certificate of the
Borrower with respect to compliance with (including calculation thereof)
Sections 10.11(a) and 10.11(e), and (vii) that no Potential Event of Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result
therefrom. Any Notice of Borrowing given pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall
be irrevocable.

              (c)    Making of Term Loans. (i) Each Lender shall deposit an
amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan with the Administrative
Agent at its office in New York, New York, in immediately available funds, not
later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Funding Date. Subject to the
fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1, the
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts received by it
available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent's office in New York,
New York on the Funding Date (or on the date received if later than such
Funding Date) and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance with the
Borrower's disbursement instructions as set forth in the Notice of Borrowing.
The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described above with the
Administrative Agent on the Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligations hereunder to make its Term Loan on the Funding Date. In the
event the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1 are not fulfilled as
of the Funding Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, the amount deposited by each Lender
to such Lender.

              (ii)   The Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has
         funded its Term Loan and is depositing the proceeds thereof with the
         Administrative Agent on the Funding Date, and the Administrative
         Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to,
         disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower on the Funding Date.
         If the Term Loan

                                     -27-
<PAGE>

proceeds corresponding to that amount are advanced to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent but are not in fact deposited with the Administrative
Agent by such Lender on or prior to the Funding Date, such Lender agrees to
pay, and in addition the Borrower, agrees to repay, to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed to or for the
benefit of the Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the
Administrative Agent, at the average Federal Funds Rate for such period. If
such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the corresponding amount,
the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Term Loan as of the Funding
Date, and if both such Lender and the Borrower shall pay and repay such
corresponding amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
Borrower such corresponding amount. This Section 2.1(c)(ii) does not relieve
any Lender of its obligation to make its Term Loan on the Funding Date.

         2.2.   Use of Proceeds of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans issued for
the account of the Borrower hereunder shall be used for the purposes of
general working capital needs of the Borrower and other general corporate
purposes, including acquisitions.

         2.3.   Term Loan Maturity Date. The Borrower promises to pay the Term
Loan Obligations and all other Obligations in full on the Term Loan Maturity
Date.

         2.4.   Authorized Agents. On the Closing Date and from time to time
thereafter, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Officer's Certificate setting forth the names of the employees and agents
authorized to request the Term Loan and to request a conversion/continuation
of any Loan and containing a specimen signature of each such employee or
agent. The employees and agents so authorized shall also be authorized to act
for the Borrower in respect of all other matters relating to the Loan
Documents. The Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and the Lenders shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on such employee's or agent's authority to
request the Term Loan or such conversion/continuation until the Administrative
Agent and the Arranger receive written notice to the contrary. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duty to verify the
authenticity of the signature appearing on the Notice of Borrowing or any
Notice of Conversion/Continuation or any other document, and, with respect to
an oral request for such conversion/continuation, the Administrative Agent and
the Arranger shall have no duty to verify the identity of any person
representing himself or herself as one of the employees or agents authorized
to make such request or otherwise to act on behalf of the Borrower. None of
the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the Lenders shall incur any
liability to the Borrower or any other Person in acting upon any telephonic or
facsimile notice referred to above which the Administrative Agent or the
Arranger believe to have been given by a person duly authorized to act on
behalf of the Borrower and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless
the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Lender from any loss or
expense the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the Lenders might incur in
acting in good faith as provided in this Section 2.4; provided, however, that
Borrower shall not indemnify the applicable party for acts resulting from its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date and at the place due, to
such account of the Administrative Agent (or Arranger) as it may designate,
for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, or such Lender, as
the case may be; and funds received by the Administrative Agent (or Arranger)
not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on any given Business Day shall be
credited against payment to be made that day and funds received by the
Administrative Agent (or Arranger) after that time shall be deemed to have
been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments actually received by
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, shall
be paid to them by the Administrative Agent promptly after receipt thereof.

              (b)    Apportionment of Payments. (i) Subject to the provisions of
Section 4.2(b)(iv), all payments of principal and interest in respect of
outstanding Loans, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of
any other Obligations, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are
entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or
otherwise as provided herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(b)(ii),
all such payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent
from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied in the following
order:

                     (A) to pay principal of and interest on any portion of
              the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on
              behalf of any Lender other than CNAI for which the
              Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender
              or the Borrower;

                     (B) to pay all other Obligations then due and payable,
              and

                     (C) as the Borrower so designates.

Unless otherwise designated by the Borrower, all principal payments in respect
of its Loans shall be applied first, to repay its outstanding Base Rate Loans,
and then to repay its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar
Rate Loans which have earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being
repaid prior to those which have later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods.

                                     -30-

              (ii)   After the occurrence of an Event of Default and while the
         same is continuing which results in an acceleration of the
         Obligations in accordance with Section 11.2, the Administrative Agent
         shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations in the
         following or der:

                     (A) first, to pay principal of and interest on any
              portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have
              advanced on behalf of any Lender other than CNAI for which the
              Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender
              or the Borrower;

                     (B) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees,
              expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the
              Administrative Agent;

                     (C) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees,
              expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders;

                     (D) fourth, to pay interest due in respect of Loans;

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

                     (F) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other
              Obligations.

The order of priority set forth in this Section 4.2(b)(ii) and the related
provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and
priorities of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as among themselves.
The order of priority set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section
4.2(b)(ii) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

              (iii)  Subject to Section 4.2(b)(iv), the Administrative Agent
         shall promptly distribute to the Arranger and each Lender at its
         primary address set forth on Schedule LC hereto or as set forth in
         the Assignment and Acceptance by which it became a Lender, or at such
         other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as such
         Person may be entitled to receive, subject to the provisions of
         Article XII; provided that the Administrative Agent shall under no
         circumstances be bound to inquire into or determine the validity,
         scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and
         may suspend all payments or seek appropriate relief (including,
         without limitation, instructions from the Requisite Lenders or an
         action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or
         dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby.

              (iv)   In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata
         Share of the Term Loan which such Lender is obligated to fund under
         the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of the Term Loan
         being hereinafter referred to as a "Non Pro Rata Loan"), until the
         earlier of such Lender's cure of such failure and the termination of
         the Term Loan Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter
         repaid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and otherwise
         required to be applied to such Lender's share of all other
         Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced
         to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender
         to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall
         nevertheless be deemed to have

                                     -31-
<PAGE>

         been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations.
         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

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

                     (B) a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to
              fund its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan at such time as an
              amount equal to such Lender's original Pro Rata Share of the
              requested principal portion of the Term Loan is fully funded to
              the Borrower, whether made by such Lender itself or by operation
              of the terms of this Section 4.2(b)(iv), and whether or not the
              Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid,
              converted or continued; and

                     (C) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has
              occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions
              of the Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of
              principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this
              Section 4.2, would be applied to its outstanding Base Rate Loans
              shall be applied first, ratably to its Base Rate Loans
              constituting Non Pro Rata Loans and second, ratably to its Base
              Rate Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans.

              (c)    Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be
made by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes is stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next
succeeding Business Day (or, as set forth in Section 5.2(b)(iii), the next
preceding Business Day).

         4.3.   Promise to Repay; Evidence of Indebtedness.

              (a)    Promise to Repay. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay when
due, without setoff or counterclaim, the principal amount of the Term Loan
which is made to it, and further agrees to pay all unpaid interest accrued
thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The
Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender on or prior to the Closing
Date, a promissory note, in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto with blanks
appropriately completed, evidencing the Term Loans and thereafter shall
execute and deliver such other promissory notes as are necessary to evidence
the Term Loans made to it owing to the Lenders after giving effect to any
assignment thereof pursuant to Section 14.1, all in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto with blanks appropriately completed (all such promissory notes
and all amendments thereto, replacements thereof and substitutions therefor
being collectively referred to as the "Notes"; and "Note" means any one of the
Notes).

              (b)    Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts (a "Loan Account") evidencing the
Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender from time to time, including the
amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time hereunder and under the Notes.

              (c)    Control Account. The Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.1(c) shall include a control
account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken
together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of the Loans made
hereunder, any conversion or continuation of the Loans, including the type of
Loan and any

                                     -32-
<PAGE>

Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and
amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and
the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder or under the Notes and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share
thereof.

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

              (e)    No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement, any Note, or the Guaranties to the contrary, it is expressly
understood and agreed that nothing herein or therein shall be construed as
creating any liability on any Limited Partner, or any partner, officer,
shareholder or director of any Limited Partner or any officer, trustee,
member, director, or employee of the Borrower or any Guarantor, to pay any of
the Obligations other than liability arising under applicable law from or in
connection with (i) its own fraud or (ii) the misappropriation or
misapplication by it of proceeds of the Loans; but nothing contained in this
Section 4.3(e) shall be construed to prevent the exercise of any remedy
allowed to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the Lenders by law or by
the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which does not relate
to or result in such an obligation by any Limited Partner or such other
Persons to pay money.

                                  ARTICLE V.
                               INTEREST AND FEES

         5.1.   Interest on the Loans and other Obligations.

              (a)    Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding principal
balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal
amount thereof from the Funding Date and such other Obligations are due and
payable until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(d), as
follows:

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

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

The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall
be selected by the Borrower at the time the Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent; provided, however, the Borrower may not select the Eurodollar Rate as
the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such a Loan if at
the time of such selection an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
or if Eurodollar Rate Loans are not available pursuant to Section 5.2(d) or
(e). If on any day any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has
not been timely delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of
interest on that day, then for that day interest on that Loan shall be
determined by reference to the Base Rate.

                                     -33-
<PAGE>

              (b)    Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan,
whether a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated on the last
day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first
day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the
Funding Date, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part,
and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) of the Loan.

              (ii)   Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other
         Obligations shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar
         month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first (1st) Business
         Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day
         following the incurrence of such Obligation, (B) upon repayment
         thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not theretofore paid in full,
         at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by
         acceleration or otherwise).

              (c)    Conversion or Continuation. (i) The Borrower shall have the
option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Base Rate
Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans; (B) to convert all or any part of outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest Periods which expire on the
same date to Base Rate Loans on such expiration date; or (C) to continue all
or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest
Periods which expire on the same date as Eurodollar Rate Loans, and the
succeeding Eurodollar Interest Period of such continued Loans shall commence
on such expiration date; provided, however, no such outstanding Loan may be
continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (i) if the
continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions
of Section 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Any conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this
Section 5.1(c) shall be in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount, except in the case of a
conversion into or a continuation of the entire Borrowing of Non Pro Rata
Loans.

              (ii)   To convert or continue a Loan under Section 5.1(c)(i), the
         Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the
         Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at
         least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed
         conversion/continuation date. A Notice of Conversion/Continuation
         shall specify (A) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which
         shall be a Business Day), (B) the principal amount of the Loan to be
         converted/continued, (C) whether such Loan shall be converted and/or
         continued, and (D) in the case of a conversion to, or continuation
         of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Eurodollar Interest Period.
         Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under
         this Section 5.1(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall notify each
         Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar written form of
         transmission, of the proposed conversion/continuation. Any Notice of
         Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Loan
         (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) given pursuant to this Section
         5.1(c)(ii) shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower shall be bound to
         convert or continue in accordance therewith. In the event no Notice
         of Conversion/Continuation is delivered as and when specified in this
         Section 5.1(c)(ii) with respect to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans,
         upon the expiration of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable
         thereto, such Loans shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate
         Loan.

              (d)    Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest
specified in Section 5.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, effective
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long
thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance
of the Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to (A)
in

                                     -34-
<PAGE>

the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding as of the date of
occurrence of any Event of Default, the sum of (x) the applicable Eurodollar
Rate, plus (y) six percent (6.0%) per annum, and (B) in the case of any Base
Rate Loan (including any Eurodollar Loan that is converted to a Base Rate Loan
at maturity) the sum of (x) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as
interest accrues, plus (y) five percent (5.0%) per annum.

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

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

         5.2.   Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans.

              (a)    Amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be in a minimum principal amount of $3,000,000 and in integral multiples
of $500,000 in excess of that amount.

              (b)    Determination of Eurodollar Interest Period. By giving
notice as set forth in Section 5.1(c), the Borrower shall have the option,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.2, to select an interest
period (each, a "Eurodollar Interest Period") to apply to the Loans described
in such notice, subject to the following provisions:

              (i)    The Borrower may only select a Eurodollar Interest Period
         of one, two, or three months in duration;

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

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

              (iv)   The Borrower may not select a Eurodollar Interest Period as
         to any Loan if such Eurodollar Interest Period terminates later than
         the Term Loan Maturity Date;

              (v)    The Borrower may not select a Eurodollar Interest Period
         with respect to any portion of principal of a Loan which extends
         beyond a date on which the Borrower is required to make a scheduled
         payment of such portion of principal of which the Borrower is aware
         on the date of such request, in the case of a payment pursuant to
         Section 4.1(c) hereof; and

                                     -35-
<PAGE>

              (vi)   There shall be no more than ten (10) Eurodollar Interest
         Periods in effect at any time with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

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

              (d)    Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the
event that at least one (1) Business Day before any Eurodollar Interest Rate
Determination Date:

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

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

              (iii)  the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that
         the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans to be continued or
         converted will not adequately reflect the cost to such Requisite
         Lenders of obtaining funds in Dollars in the London interbank market
         in an amount substantially equal to such Lenders' Eurodollar Rate
         Loans in Dollars and for a period equal to such Eurodollar Interest
         Period;

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

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

              (ii)   When notice is given by a Lender under Section 5.2(e)(i),
         (A) the Borrower's right to request from such Lender and such
         Lender's obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans to the
         Borrower shall be immediately suspended, and (B) if

                                     -36-
<PAGE>

         the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan or Loans are then outstanding, the
         Borrower shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no
         later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one (1) Business
         Day's prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the
         affected Lender, convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

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

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

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

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

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

of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 4.1(c) hereof, shall be

              (d)    No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of
each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower, the Company or any Guarantor
is a party, and the consummation of the transactions expressly contemplated
thereby respectively, do not and will not (i) conflict with the Organizational
Documents of the Borrower, the Company or any Guarantor, (ii) conflict with,

Governmental Authority, except filings, consents or notices which have been
made, obtained or given.

              (f)    Governmental Regulation. None of the Borrower, the Company
or the Guarantors is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, or

and fairly present in all material respects the respective consolidated
financial positions as of the date referred to therein, and the consolidated

long-term leases or commitments not reflected in its financial statements

              (i)    Litigation; Adverse Effects. Except as set forth in
Schedule 7.1-I, as of the Closing Date, there is no action, suit, proceeding,
investigation or arbitration before or by any Governmental Authority or
private arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against the Company, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or
any Property of any of them (i) challenging the validity or the enforceability
of any of the Loan Documents, (ii) which is reasonably likely to result in any
Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) under the Racketeering Influenced and

penalty. There is no material loss contingency within the meaning of GAAP
which has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company and the Borrower. None of the Company, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
of the Borrower is (A) in violation of any applicable Requirements of Law
which violation will have or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect, or (B) in default with respect to any final judgment, writ,

Liens, all material taxes, assessments, fees and other charges of Governmental
Authorities thereupon and upon or relating to their respective Properties,
assets, receipts, sales, use, payroll, employment, income, licenses and
franchises which are shown in such returns or reports to be due and payable
have been paid, except to the extent (i) such taxes, assessments, fees and
other charges of Governmental Authorities are being contested in good faith by
an appropriate proceeding diligently pursued as permitted by the terms of
Section 9.4 and (ii) such taxes, assessments, fees and other charges of
Governmental Authorities pertain to Property of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries and the non-payment of the amounts thereof would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. All
other material taxes (including, without limitation, real estate taxes),
assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon or relating to the
respective Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are due and
payable have been paid, except for Customary Permitted Liens and except to the

<PAGE>

or (ii) any condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of
time or both, would constitute a default with respect to any such Contractual
Obligation; in each case, except where such default or defaults, if any, will
not have a Material Adverse Effect.

              (n)    Disclosure. The representations and warranties of the
Borrower and the Guarantors contained in the Loan Documents, and all
certificates and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender pursuant to the terms thereof, do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, taken as a whole, not misleading. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Lenders acknowledge that the Borrower shall not have liability
under this clause (n) with respect to its projections of future events or for
any financial projections. (o) Requirements of Law. Each of the Borrower and
each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law
applicable to it and its respective businesses and Properties, in each case
where the failure to so comply individually or in the aggregate will have a
Material Adverse Effect.

              currently in compliance with all terms and conditions of such
              Permits, except to the extent any failure to do so would not
              have a Material Adverse Effect;

                     (C) to the knowledge of the Borrower, none of the
              Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective present or

              Response Compensation Liability Information System List
              ("CERCLIS") or any similar state list of sites requiring
              Remedial Action;

                     (F) to the knowledge of the Borrower, none of the
              Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has sent or directly
              arranged for the transport of any waste to any site listed or
              proposed for listing on the NPL, CERCLIS or any similar state
              list;

                     (G) to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, there is not

              which, in its present state, such Person has any reason to

              and Costs arising out of or relating to environmental, health or
              safety matters that would result in a Material Adverse Effect;
              or (V) any polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) used in hydraulic
              oils, electrical transformers or other Equipment, which, in any
              such case, would subject the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or
              their respective Properties to Liabilities and Costs arising out
              of or relating to environmental, health or safety matters that
              would result in a Material Adverse Effect;

                     (H) to the knowledge of the Borrower, none of the
              Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or
              Claim to the effect that any of such Persons is or may be liable
              to any Person as a result of the Release or threatened Release
              of a Contaminant into the environment which would result in a
              Material Adverse Effect;

                     (I) none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has
              any contingent liability in connection with any Release or
              threatened Release of any Contaminants into the environment
              which will result in a Material Adverse Effect;

                     (J) no Environmental Lien has attached to any Property of
              the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than those
              otherwise permitted hereunder) or which do not constitute an
              Event of Default; and

                                     -45-
<PAGE>

                     (K) no Property of the Borrower or any of its
              Subsidiaries is subject to any Environmental Property Transfer
              Act, or to the extent such acts are applicable to any such
              Property, the Borrower and/or such Subsidiary whose Property is
              subject thereto has complied in all material respects with the
              requirements of such acts.

              (q)    ERISA. As of the date hereof, neither the Borrower nor any
ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to any Benefit Plan or Multiemployer
Plan other than those listed on Schedule 7.1-Q hereto. Each Plan which is
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as
currently in effect has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified, and
each trust related to any such Plan has been determined to be exempt from
federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as
currently in effect. Except as disclosed in Schedule 7.1-Q, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to any employee
welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA that provides
benefits to employees after termination of employment other than as required
by Section 601 of ERISA. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in
compliance in all material respects with the responsibilities, obligations and
duties imposed on it by ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and regulations
promulgated thereunder with respect to all Plans. No Benefit Plan has incurred
any accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Sections 302(a)(2) of ERISA
and 412 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code) whether or not waived. Neither the
Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Plan which is not a
Multiemployer Plan (i) has engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction
described in Sections 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or
(ii) has taken or failed to take any action which would constitute or result
in an ERISA Termination Event. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is
subject to any liability under Sections 4063, 4064, or 4204 of ERISA which
would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate is subject to any liability under Sections 4069 or 4212 (c) of ERISA
or has incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than
the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become
due which are unpaid. Schedule B to the most recent annual report filed with
the IRS with respect to each Benefit Plan has been furnished to the
Administrative Agent and is complete and accurate in all material respects.
Since the date of each such Schedule B, there has been no material adverse
change in the funding status or financial condition of the Benefit Plan
relating to such Schedule B. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has
(i) failed to make a required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan
or (ii) made a complete or partial withdrawal under Sections 4203 or 4205 of
ERISA from a Multiemployer Plan which would have a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the Borrower, nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make a required
installment or any other required payment under Section 412 of the Internal
Revenue Code on or before the due date for such installment or other payment.
Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security
to a Benefit Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code due to
a Benefit Plan amendment that results in an increase in current liability for
the plan year. Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.1-Q, which shall be updated
by Borrower as of the first day of each fiscal quarter, to the extent
required, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has, by reason of
the transactions contemplated hereby, any obligation to make any payment to
any employee pursuant to any Plan or existing contract or arrangement.

              (r)    Securities Activities. The Borrower is not engaged in the
business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin
Stock except as described on Schedule 7.l-R.

                                     -46-

              (s)    Solvency. After giving effect to the Term Loans to be made
on the Funding Date, the Acquisition, and the disbursement of the proceeds of
such Term Loan pursuant to the Borrower's instructions, each of the Borrower
and each Guarantor is Solvent.

              (t)    Insurance. Schedule 7.1-T accurately sets forth as of the
Closing Date all insurance policies and programs currently in effect with
respect to the respective Property and assets and business of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, specifying for each such policy and program, (i) the amount
thereof, (ii) the risks insured against thereby, (iii) the name of the insurer
and each insured party thereunder, (iv) the policy or other identification
number thereof, and (v) the expiration date thereof. The Borrower has
delivered to the Administrative Agent certificates of insurance or other
satisfactory evidence of all insurance policies set forth on Schedule 7.1-T.
Such insurance policies and programs or their replacements obtained in
compliance with Section 9.5 are currently in full force and effect, in
compliance with the requirements of Section 9.5 hereof and provide coverage
against such casualties and contingencies as are commercially reasonable and
in accordance with the customary and general practices of businesses having
similar operations and real estate portfolios in similar geographic areas and
are in amounts, containing such terms, in such forms and for such periods as
are reasonable and prudent for such businesses. Borrower shall update Schedule
7.1-T, to the extent required, in order to keep said Schedule true and
correct.

              (u)    REIT Status. The Company qualifies as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code.

              (v)    Ownership of Projects, Joint Ventures and Property.
Ownership of all wholly owned Projects, Joint Ventures and other Property of
the Consolidated Businesses is held by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
is not held directly by the Company.

              (w)    Title to Properties. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their
respective Subsidiaries that own Real Property each has good title to all of
its respective Real Property purported to be owned by it, including, without
limitation, that:

              (a)    Either (i) the Borrower or (ii) a Guarantor is the owner of
or the holder of a fee or ground leasehold interest (under an Eligible Ground
Lease) in the Unencumbered Projects and Unencumbered New York City Assets
which are wholly-owned or ground-leased by the Borrower and the Consolidated
Businesses, free from any Lien, except for Customary Permitted Liens, or
preferred equity interest.

              (b)    The Company, the Borrower and their Consolidated
Subsidiaries will, as of the Closing Date, own all of the assets as reflected
in the financial statements of the Borrower and the Company described in
Section 7.1(g) or acquired since the date of such financial statements (except
property and assets sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of
business since that date).

                                ARTICLE VIII.
                              REPORTING COVENANTS

         The Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as any Term Loan
Commitments are outstanding and thereafter until payment in full of all of the
Obligations (other than indemnities pursuant to Section 14.3 not yet due),
unless the Requisite Lenders shall otherwise give prior written consent
thereto:

conformity with GAAP.

         8.2.   Financial Reports. The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent (with copies for each of the Lenders):

result thereof and after giving effect thereto, (i) the Company is not the
surviving Person or (ii) such merger or liquidation would effect an
acquisition of or Investment in any Person which is prohibited or results in a
Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default under the terms of this
Agreement. The Borrower shall merge or liquidate with or into any other Person
and, as a result thereof and after giving effect thereto, (i) the Borrower is
not the surviving Person or (ii) such merger or liquidation would effect an
acquisition of or Investment in any Person which is prohibited or results in a

writing in accordance with Section 14.7.

              (a)    Acceleration and Termination. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(f) or 11.1(g), the Term Loan
Commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate and the unpaid
principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Obligations and
all accrued fees and other Obligations shall automatically become immediately
due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements
of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement,
diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of
acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the
Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares, in the aggregate, are greater than fifty-one
percent (51%), by written notice to the Borrower, (i) declare that the Term
Loan Commitments are terminated, whereupon the Term Loan Commitments and the
obligation of each Lender to convert or continue any Loan hereunder shall
immediately terminate, and/or (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of and
any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations and all other
Obligations to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any
kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence,
presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration),
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

              (b)    Rescission. If within ninety (90) days after termination of
the Term Loan Commitments and/or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans,
the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of
principal of the Loans which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law,
on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events
of Default and Potential Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal
of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of
acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 14.7, then upon
the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the
Borrower, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and/or the acceleration
and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall
not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or
impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding
sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be
made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to
benefit the

                                     -65-
<PAGE>

Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to
rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth
herein are met.

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

                                 ARTICLE XII.
                                  THE AGENTS

         12.1.  Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints
CNAI as the Administrative Agent, and the Arranger as the arrangers of such
Lender under this Agreement, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent, and the Arranger to take such actions on its behalf
under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to
exercise such powers in each case only as are set forth herein or therein
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrative Agent and the Arranger each agrees to act as such on the
express conditions contained in this Article XII.

              (b)    The provisions of this Article XII are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders, and neither
the Borrower, the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall have any
rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof (other than as
expressly set forth in Section 12.7). In performing its respective functions
and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger
shall act solely as agents of the Lenders and do not assume and shall not be
deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency, trustee or
fiduciary with or for the Company, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the
Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger may perform any of their
respective duties hereunder, or under the other Loan Documents, by or through
their respective agents or employees.

         12.2.  Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger
shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth
in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be mechanical and administrative
in nature. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have by
reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.
Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the
Administrative Agent or the Arranger any obligations in respect of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth
herein or therein. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger each hereby
agrees that its duties shall include providing copies of documents received by
such Agent from the Borrower which are reasonably requested by any Lender,
furnishing copies of documents to each Lender, upon request, of documents sent
by such Agent to the Borrower and promptly notifying each Lender upon its
obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default
hereunder. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender,
promptly after receipt thereof, copies of those documents and reports received
by it pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.7 and 8.12.

                                     -66-
<PAGE>

         12.3.  Right to Request Instructions. The Administrative Agent and the
Arranger may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to
any actions or approvals which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents such
Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and such Agent shall be
absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any
approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for
refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan
Documents until it shall have received such instructions from those Lenders
from whom such Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent
matter in accordance with the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, such Agent shall take any action, or refrain from taking any
action, which is permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents upon receipt of
instructions from those Lenders from whom such Agent is required to obtain
such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan
Documents, provided, that no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against the Administrative Agent or the Arranger as a result of such Agent
acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with
the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where required by the express
terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders.

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

         12.5.  Indemnification. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or
the Arranger is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders
will reimburse and indemnify such Agent for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, and reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any
way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or
omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender's
Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall be indemnified to the
extent such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs and expenses result from such Person's gross
negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Article XII. Such Agent
agrees to refund to the Lenders any of the foregoing amounts paid to it by the
Lenders which amounts are subsequently recovered by such Agent from the
Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower. The obligations of the
Lenders under this Section 12.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans
and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

         12.6.  Agents Individually. With respect to their respective Pro Rata
Share of the Term Loan Commitments hereunder, if any, and the Loans made by
them, if any, the Persons serving as the Administrative Agent and the Arranger
shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and are
subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth
herein for any Lender. The terms "Lenders" or "Requisite Lenders" or any
similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates or such
Lender has assigned its interest hereunder, include CNAI in its individual
capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. CNAI, Citigroup
Global Markets Inc. and each of their Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with the Borrower

                                     -67-
<PAGE>

or any of its Subsidiaries as if CNAI and Citicorp Global Markets Inc. were
not acting as an Agent or Arranger pursuant hereto.

         12.7.  Successor Agents.

              (a)    Resignation. Any Agent may resign from the performance of
all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty
(30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders,
unless applicable law requires a shorter notice period or that there be no
notice period, in which instance such applicable law shall control. Such
resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of
appointment pursuant to this Section 12.7.

              (b)    Appointment by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such resignation
becoming effective, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent selected from among the Lenders with the prior
written consent of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default then exists),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

              (c)    Appointment by Retiring Agent. If a successor
Administrative Agent shall not have been appointed within the thirty (30)
Business Day or shorter period provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.7,
the retiring Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as
Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint
a successor Agent as provided above with the prior written consent of the
Borrower (so long as no Event of Default then exists) which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that such successor Administrative
Agent shall have total assets of not less than $10,000,000,000.

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

         12.8.  Relations Among the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it will
not take any legal action, or institute any actions or proceedings, against
the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder with respect to any of the
Obligations, without the prior written consent of the Lenders. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or
otherwise enforce its portion of the obligations, or unilaterally terminate
its Term Loan Commitment except in accordance with Section 11.2(a).

         12.9.  Standard of Care. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger
shall administer the Loans in the same manner that such Agent administers
loans made for its own account.

                               YIELD PROTECTION

         13.1.  Taxes.

              (a)    Payment of Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes or other documents evidencing any Obligations of
such Person shall be made, in accordance with Section 4.2, free and clear of
and without reduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and all stamp or documentary
taxes, excise taxes, ad valorem taxes and other taxes which arise from the
execution, delivery or registration, or from payment or performance under, or
otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or the Term Loan
Obligations and all other liabilities with respect thereto excluding, in the
case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by net income or overall
gross receipts and capital and franchise taxes imposed on it by (i) the United
States, (ii) the Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction in which such
Lender's Applicable Lending Office is located or any political subdivision
thereof or (iii) the Governmental Authority in which such Person is organized,
managed and controlled or any political subdivision thereof (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings
being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). Except as otherwise provided
herein, if the Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any such Note
or document to any Lender, (x) the sum payable to such Lender shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after making all required withholding or
deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 13.1) such Lender receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made,
(y) the Borrower shall make such withholding or deductions, and (z) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

              (b)    Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Borrower will indemnify each Lender against, and reimburse each Lender within
ten (10) Business Days after written demand for, the full amount of all Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Governmental
Authority on amounts payable under this Section 13.1 and any additional income
or franchise taxes resulting therefrom) incurred or paid by such Lender and
any liability (including penalties, interest, and out-of-pocket expenses paid
to third parties) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were lawfully payable, to the extent not paid by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 13.1. A certificate as to any additional amount
payable to any Person under this Section 13.1 submitted by it to the Borrower
shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto. Each Lender agrees, within a reasonable time after receiving a
written request from the Borrower, to provide the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with such certificates and other documents as are
reasonably required, and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary
to claim such exemptions as such Lender may be entitled to claim in respect of
all or a portion of any Taxes which are otherwise required to be paid or
deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 13.1 in respect of any payments
under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents. If any Lender receives
any refund with respect to any Taxes, such Lender shall promptly remit such
refund to the Borrower.

              (c)    Receipts. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any
payment of Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 14.8, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

                                     -69-
<PAGE>

              (d)    Foreign Bank Certifications. (i) Each Lender that is not
created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political
subdivision thereof shall deliver to each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on the Closing Date or the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof a true and accurate
certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender
to the effect that such Lender is eligible to receive payments hereunder and
under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal
income tax (I) under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty concluded by
the United States (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two
duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor or substitute form
or forms)) or (II) under Sections 1441(c)(1) and 1442(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly
completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor or substitute form or
forms)).

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

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

                     (B) that such Lender cannot continue to receive payments
              hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding
              of United States federal income tax as specified therein but
              does not require additional payments pursuant to Section 13.1(a)
              because it is entitled to recover the full amount of any such
              deduction or withholding from a source other than the Borrower;
              or

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

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

              (iii)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 13.1, the Borrower will not be required to make any additional
payment to or for the account of any

                                     -70-
<PAGE>

Lender under Section 13.1(a) or (b) by reason of (x) a breach by such Lender
of any certification or representation set forth in any form furnished to the
Borrower under this Section 13.1(d), or (y) such Lender's failure or inability
to furnish, if required to do so, under this Section 13.1(d) an original or
renewal of a Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (or successor form), as applicable,
unless such failure or inability results from a change (after the date such
Lender became a Lender party hereto) in any applicable law or regulation or in
the interpretation thereof by any regulatory authority (including without
limitation any change in any applicable tax treaty).

         13.2.  Increased Capital. If after the date hereof any Lender
determines that (i) the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in
the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline
or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over
any Lender or banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having
the force of law), compliance with which affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender and (ii) the amount of such capital is increased by or
based upon the making or maintenance by any Lender of its Loans, any Lender's
participation in or obligation to participate in the Loans or other advances
made hereunder or the existence of any Lender's obligation to make Loans then,
in any such case, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by such
Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower
shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation therefor. Such demand
shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and
include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

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

              (a)    subjects a Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office or
Eurodollar Affiliate) to charges (other than taxes) of any kind which such
Lender reasonably determines to be applicable to the Term Loan Commitments of
the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or change the basis of taxation of
payments to that Lender of principal, fees, interest, or any other amount
payable hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans (other than taxes
covered by Section 13.1(a) hereof and taxes excluded in Section 13.1(a)
hereof); or

              (b)    imposes, modifies, or holds applicable, in the
determination of a Lender, any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC
insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, commitments made,
or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, a Lender or
any Applicable Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate of that Lender in
respect of Eurodollar Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender
of making, renewing or maintaining the Loans or its Term Loan Commitment;
then, in any such case, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the

                                     -71-
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Lender, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to
compensate such Lender or its Eurodollar Affiliate for any such additional
cost incurred or reduced amount received. Such demand shall be accompanied by
a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary
of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes, absent manifest error.

         13.4.  Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event a Lender (a
"Designated Lender") shall have (i) requested additional compensation from the
Borrower under Section 13.1 or under Section 13.2 or under Section 13.3, (ii)
failed to make its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan or (iii) failed to make any
Loan at the Eurodollar Rate, the Borrower may, at its sole election, make
written demand on such Designated Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) for the Designated Lender to assign, and such Designated Lender shall
assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances to one
or more Eligible Assignees which the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
shall have identified for such purpose, all of such Designated Lender's right
and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, its Term Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to
it and all other Obligations owing to it) in accordance with Section 14.1. All
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with
the foregoing shall be for the sole account of the Borrower and shall
constitute Obligations hereunder. In no event shall Borrower's election under
the provisions of this Section 13.4 affect its obligation to pay the
additional compensation required under either Section 13.1, Section 13.2 or
Section 13.3.

         13.5.  Mitigation. Each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to
compensation under Sections 13.1, 13.2 or 13.3 as promptly as practicable, but
in any event, within 45 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge
thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45
days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall,
with respect to compensation payable pursuant to Sections 13.1, 13.2 or 13.3
in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment
under Sections 13.1, 13.2 or 13.3 for costs incurred from and after the date
45 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each
Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of
such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         14.1.  Assignments and Participations.

              (a)    Assignments. No assignments or participations of any
Lender's rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made except in

Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the
Loans) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1.

              (b)    Limitations on Assignments. Each assignment shall be
subject to the following conditions: (i) each assignment shall be of a
constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of a
partial assignment to an assignee which is not a Lender or a Lender Affiliate,
shall be in

                                     -72-
<PAGE>

a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (and the assignor shall maintain a
minimum amount of $5,000,000 for its own account unless the assignor shall
assign or participate its entire interest), (ii) each such assignment shall be
to an Eligible Assignee, (iii) (A) so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, each assignment shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided that, no such consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required
for an assignment by any Lender to any of its Lender Affiliates, so long as
such Lender Affiliate is an Eligible Assignee, and (B) so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, each assignment to an assignee which
is not a Lender or a Lender Affiliate shall be subject to the approval of the
Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be
deemed to have been given if the Borrower fails to object to such proposed
assignment within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of a request for
approval), and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the

Administrative Agent, (A) the assignee thereunder shall, in addition to any
rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such
effective date, if any, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights and benefits
hereunder as if it were an original Lender hereunder, (B) the assigning Lender
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
(except as otherwise provided in Section 14.9) and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning Lender shall cease
to be a party hereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 14.9) and (C)
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the assignee thereunder a Note
evidencing its obligations to such assignee with respect to the Loans.

              (c)    The Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at

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

              (d)    Fee. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance
executed by the assigning Lender and an Assignee and a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 (payable by the assignee to the Administrative
Agent), the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in compliance with this Agreement and in substantially
the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii)
record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt
notice thereof to the Borrower.

              (e)    Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one
or more other financial institutions or other Persons in or to all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under and in respect of any and all
facilities under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a

                                     -73-
<PAGE>

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

              (f)    Information Regarding the Borrower. Any Lender may, subject
to the provisions of Section 14.22, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
14.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
furnished to such Lender by the Administrative Agent or by or on behalf of the
Borrower.

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

              (h)    Lenders' Creation of Security Interests. Notwithstanding
any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time
create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Obligations owing to it and any Note
held by it) in favor of any Person.

         14.2.  Expenses.

              (a)    Generally. The Borrower agrees promptly upon demand to pay,
or reimburse the Administrative Agent for the reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent (but not of other legal

Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted
satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI), the Loan
Documents, and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit

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

         14.3.  Indemnity. The Borrower further agrees (a) to defend, protect,
indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each
and all of the Lenders and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, attorneys and agents (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of
profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, reasonable
costs, reasonable expenses and reasonable disbursements (excluding any taxes
and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall
be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the making of the Loans, the use or
intended use of the proceeds of the Loans hereunder, or any of the other
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (ii) any Liabilities and
Costs relating to violation of any Environmental, Health or Safety
Requirements of Law, the past, present or future operations of the Borrower,
any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in interest,
or, the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of
any respective Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the
presence of asbestos-containing materials at any respective Property of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the Release or threatened Release of
any Contaminant into the environment (collectively, the "Indemnified
Matters"); provided, however, the Borrower shall have no obligation to an
Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters caused by or
resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable final
judgment; and provided further that payment of the costs of preparation of the
Loan Documents shall be governed by Section 14.2(a) hereof; and (b) not to
assert any claim against any of the Indemnitees, on any theory of liability,
for consequential or punitive damages arising out of, or in any way in
connection with, the Term Loan Commitments, the Obligations, or the other
matters governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the extent
that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the
preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or
public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is
permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

         14.4.  Change in Accounting Principles. If any change in the
accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent financial
statements referred to in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 are hereafter required or
permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants

                                     -75-

(or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by
the Company or the Borrower as applicable, with the agreement of its
independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change
in the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms found
in Article X, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to
amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired
result that the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants,
standards and terms by the Borrower shall be the same after such changes as if
such changes had not been made; provided, however, no change in GAAP that
would affect the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or
terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are
amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, to so reflect such change in accounting principles.

         14.5.  Intentionally Omitted.

         14.6.  Ratable Sharing. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i)
with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the
payment of the Obligations (excluding the costs, fees and other payments
described in Sections 5.2(f), and 5.3, Article XIII and Section 14.1)
equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be
shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whether
received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of setoff or
banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement of any or
all of the Obligations (excluding the costs, fees and other payments described
in Sections 5.2(f), and 5.3, Article XIII and Section 14.1), (ii) if any of
them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of
counterclaim, setoff, banker's lien or otherwise, receive payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it, which is
greater than the amount which such Lender is entitled to receive hereunder,
the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to
have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations
owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such
obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares;
provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the
purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be
rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be
returned to such party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery,
but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to
pay interest in connection with such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section 14.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its
rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

         14.7.  Amendments and Waivers.

              (a)    General Provisions. Unless otherwise provided for or
required in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective without
the written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders
shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the
Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower's agreement shall not be
required for any amendment or modification of Sections 12.1 through 12.8
(other than Section 12.7). In the event that the Administrative Agent shall
request the agreement of the Lenders to any amendment, modification or waiver,
if any Lender shall fail to respond to any such request within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of such request, such Lender's approval thereto shall be
deemed to have been given; provided, however, that such request shall state,
in capital letters that "FAILURE TO

                                     -76-
<PAGE>

RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT, SHALL BE
DEEMED CONSENT TO THE ENCLOSED REQUEST". No termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to
any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective without the
written or deemed concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite
Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion.
All amendments, waivers and consents not specifically reserved to the
Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the Lenders in Section 14.7(b), 14.7(c),
and in other provisions of this Agreement shall require only the approval of
the Requisite Lenders. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No
notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

              (b)    Amendments, Consents and Waivers by Affected Lenders. Any
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of
the following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a
written agreement, signed by each Lender affected thereby as described below:

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

              (ii)   change the amount of such Lender's Term Loan Commitment
              (other than pursuant to an assignment permitted under Section
              14.1),

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

              (iv)   postponement or extension of any date (other than the
              Term Loan Maturity Date postponement or extension of which is
              governed by Section 14.7(c)(i)) fixed for any payment of
              principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other
              amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to any
              modifications of the application provisions relating to
              prepayments of Loans and other Obligations which are governed by
              Section 4.2(b)).

              (c)    Amendments, Consents and Waivers by All Lenders. Any
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of
the following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a
written agreement, signed by each Lender:

              (i)    postponement of the Term Loan Maturity Date;

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

              (iii)  amendment of Section 14.6 or this Section 14.7,

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

                                     -77-
<PAGE>

              (v)    waiver of any Event of Default under Section 11.1(a),
              Section 11.1(f) or Section 11.1(g), and

              (vi)   amendment or release of the Guaranties, except in
              connection with the permitted sale of an Unencumbered Project or
              Unencumbered New York City Asset by a Guarantor.

              (d)    Administrative Agent Authority. Subject to the second
succeeding sentence of this subsection (d), the Administrative Agent may, but
shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender,
execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that
Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
14.7, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, unless made in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in
addition to the Lenders required above to take such action. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Borrower shall have
requested, in writing, that any Lender agree to an amendment, modification,
waiver or consent with respect to any particular provision or provisions of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall have failed
to state, in writing, that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part)
with all such requests (in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to
satisfactory documentation and such other conditions it may specify) within
fifteen (15) days after such request, then such Lender hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Administrative Agent to agree or disagree, in full or in part,
and in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion, to such requests on behalf
of such Lender as such Lender's attorney-in-fact and to execute and deliver
any writing approved by the Administrative Agent which evidences such
agreement as such Lender's duly authorized agent for such purposes; provided,
however, that such request shall state, in capital letters that "FAILURE TO
RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT, SHALL BE
DEEMED AUTHORIZATION TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITH RESPECT TO THE ENCLOSED
REQUEST".

         14.8.  Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any
notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall
be in writing and may be personally served, sent by facsimile transmission or
by courier service or United States certified mail and shall be deemed to have
been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a
facsimile transmission, or four (4) Business Days after deposit in the United
States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed. Notices to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Articles II, IV or XII shall not be effective
until received by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the
addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered
as provided in this Section 14.8) shall be (i) for the Borrower, as set forth
on its signature page to this Agreement, and (ii) for the Lenders, as set
forth on Schedule LC hereto or on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance by
which such party became a Lender hereunder, or, as to each party, at such
other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of
the other parties to this Agreement.

         14.9.  Survival of Warranties and Agreements. All representations and
warranties made herein and all obligations of the Borrower in respect of
taxes, indemnification and expense reimbursement shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the making and
repayment of the Loans and, in the case of any Lender that may assign any
interest in its Term Loan Commitment, or Loans hereunder, shall survive the
making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may
cease to be a "Lender" hereunder, and, except for the representations and
warranties, the termination of this Agreement

                                     -78-
<PAGE>

other than any of the foregoing set forth in Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 or
Section 13.3 or Section 5.2(f), which shall survive for thirty (30) days after
termination of this Agreement.

         14.10. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No
failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents
shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of
any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies
existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies otherwise available.

         14.11. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower makes a
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender or
any such Person exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments
or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to
the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied, and all right and remedies therefor, shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

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

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

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

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

         14.16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 10.6, the rights and obligations hereunder of the
Borrower, or any interest therein, may not be assigned without the written
consent of all Lenders (and any such attempted assignment without such consent
shall be null and void).

         14.17. Certain Consents and Waivers of the Borrower.

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

              (ii)   THE BORROWER AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL
HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN A COURT IN
ANY LOCATION NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO ENABLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
THE LENDERS TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER. THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY
LENDER MAY COMMENCE A PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.

              (b)    Service of Process. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO
THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED
MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER'S PROCESS AGENT OR THE BORROWER'S
NOTICE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 14.8 HEREOF, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE UPON RECEIPT. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION OF THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED
ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS) WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO
THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE. NOTHING HEREIN
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW
OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS TO BRING
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

                                     -80-
<PAGE>

              (c)    Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS
AND THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

         14.18. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Inconsistencies. This Agreement
and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed
in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed
an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and
the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective against the
Borrower and each Agent and Lender on the Closing Date. This Agreement and
each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable
to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and
conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern.

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

         14.20. Disclaimers. The Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the
Lenders shall not be liable to any contractor, subcontractor, supplier,
laborer, architect, engineer, tenant or other party for services performed or
materials supplied in connection with any work performed on the Projects,
including any TI Work. The Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders
shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such
parties against the Borrower or others or against any of the Projects. The
Borrower is not and shall not be an agent of any Agent, the Arranger or the
Lenders for any purposes and none of the Lenders, the Arranger, or the Agents
shall be deemed partners or joint venturers with Borrower. None of the
Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the Lenders shall be deemed to be in
privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to any
Project, nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor or
subcontractor or provider of services be deemed to create any third party
beneficiary status or recognition of same by any of the Administrative Agent,
the Arranger or the Lenders and the Borrower agrees to hold the Administrative
Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders harmless from any of the damages and
expenses resulting from such a construction of the relationship of the parties
or any assertion thereof.

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

         14.22. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Arranger and the
Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it
by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by the Borrower
as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Agents or the
Lenders from disclosing any such information (a) to the Agents, any other
Lender or any Lender Affiliate (provided such Lender Affiliate is made aware
of the confidentiality of such information and agrees to keep such information
confidential), (b) to any Assignee, Participant or prospective Assignee or
Participant or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any
swap or derivative transactions relating to the Borrower and

                                     -81-
<PAGE>

its Obligations (provided such Person is made aware of the confidentiality of
such information and agrees to keep such information confidential), (c) to the
employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional
advisors of any Lender, Assignee, Participant, prospective Assignee or
Participant who are advised of the provisions of this Section, (d) upon the
request or demand of any Governmental Authority having or asserting
jurisdiction over either Agent or any Lender, (e) in response to any order of
any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required
pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in
connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, (g) upon the advice of counsel that such disclosure is required by
law, (h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) in connection with any
litigation to which any Agent, Arranger or Lender is a party, or (j) to the
extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 14.22 or becomes available to any Agent, Arranger or
Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

         14.23. Intentionally Omitted.

         14.24. USA Patriot Act. Each of the Lenders hereby notifies Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of
Pub.L.107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information
that will allow such Bank to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.
Neither the execution and delivery of the Notes and the other Loan Documents
by the Borrower nor the use of the proceeds of the Loans, will violate the
Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control
regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B,
Chapter V, as amended) or the Anti-Terrorism Order or any enabling legislation
or executive order relating to any of the same. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, none of the Borrower, the Company, nor any of
their respective Subsidiaries (a) is or will become a blocked person described
in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (b) engages or will engage in any
dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with any such blocked
person in any manner which violates applicable law or regulation.
