			INVESTORS REAL ESTATE TRUST
		

		
			 
		

		
			Stock Award Agreement
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			THIS STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 8, 2016, governs the Stock Award granted by INVESTORS REAL ESTATE TRUST, a North Dakota real estate investment trust (the “Company”) to Mark O. Decker, Jr. (the “Participant”), in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  A copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant.  All terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Grant of Stock Award.    
		

		
			In accordance with the Plan, and effective as of August 8, 2016 (the “Date of Grant”), the Company granted to the Participant, subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, a Stock Award of 30,675 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”).  
		

		
			Vesting of the Shares.    
		

		
			The Participant’s interest in one-third of the Shares shall vest and become nonforfeitable on each of the first, second and third annual anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each a “Vesting Date”) if the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant through each applicable Vesting Date. Except as provided in paragraphs 2(b) or (c), if the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated prior to a Vesting Date, any Shares that remain unvested as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited. 
		

		
			If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the date the Participant’s employment is terminated due to Disability or death that occurs before the last Vesting Date, then any Shares that remain unvested will vest in full and become nonforfeitable as of the date of such termination.  
		

		
			If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until a Control Change Date that occurs before the last Vesting Date and the Participant’s employment is terminated pursuant to a Qualifying Termination as of the Control Change Date or within twelve months following the Control Change Date, then any Shares that remain unvested will vest in full and become nonforfeitable as of the Control Change Date.  
		

		
			Transferability.  Shares that are not vested may not be transferred; provided, however, that the Participant may transfer the Participant’s rights under this Agreement by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Subject to the requirements of applicable securities laws, Shares that have become vested in accordance with paragraph 2 may be transferred.
		

		
			Shareholder Rights.  On and after the Date of Grant and prior to the date that Shares are forfeited, the Participant shall have the right to vote the Shares.  Prior to the date that the Shares 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with paragraph 2, any dividends or distributions on the Shares shall be accumulated, without interest, and paid in cash when and only to the extent that, the Shares become vested and nonforfeitable.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, the Company shall retain custody of any certificates evidencing the Shares until the date the Shares become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with paragraph 2 and the Participant hereby appoints the Company’s President and the Company’s Secretary as the Participant’s attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution, with the power to transfer to the Company and cancel any Shares that are forfeited in accordance with this Agreement.
		

		
			No Section 83(b) Election.  In consideration for the grant of the Stock Award evidenced by this Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees and covenants that the Participant will not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the grant of the Stock Award or the issuance of the Shares.
		

		
			Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall have the following meanings:
		

		
			“Cause” means (i) the Participant’s willful conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or an Affiliate, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) the Participant’s material breach of written agreement between the Participant and the Company; (iii) the Participant’s breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties to the Company or an Affiliate; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of any crime (or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to any crime) constituting a felony; or (v) the Participant’s entering into an agreement or consent decree or being the subject of any regulatory order that in any of such cases prohibits the Participant from serving as an officer or director of a company that has publicly traded securities.  A termination of the Participant shall not be for “Cause” unless the decision to terminate the Participant is set forth in a resolution of the Board to that effect and which specifies the particulars thereof and that is approved by a majority of the members of the Board (exclusive of the Participant if the Participant is a member of the Board) adopted at a meeting called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant to be heard before the Board).  No act or failure to act by the Participant will be deemed “willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith or with a reasonable belief on the part of the Participant that the action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate.  Any act or failure to act by the Participant based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of counsel to the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith and in the best interest of the Company and its Affiliates.
		

		
			“Disability” means the Participant has been determined, by a physician selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Participant, to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
		

		
			“Good Reason” means, without the express written consent of the Participant (i) a change in the Participant’s position with the Company or an Affiliate which results in a material diminution of the Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

the Company or an Affiliate in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary; or (iii) a change in the location of the Participant’s principal office to a different place that is more than fifty miles from the Participant’s principal office immediately prior to such change.  A reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be material if the rate of annual base salary on any date is less than ninety percent (90%) of the Participant’s highest rate of annual base pay as in effect on any date in the preceding thirty-six (36) months; provided, however, that a reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be disregarded to the extent that the reduction is applied similarly to the Company’s other officers or other employees.  Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, a change in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities or a reduction in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment (for Cause, Disability or retirement), shall not constitute Good Reason and the Participant shall not have Good Reason to resign solely because the Company does not have common shares or other securities that are publicly traded.  A resignation by the Participant shall not be with “Good Reason” unless the Participant gives the Company written notice specifying the event or condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason, the notice is given no more than ninety days after the occurrence of the event or initial existence of the condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason and the Company has failed to remedy or cure the event or condition during the thirty day period after such written notice is given to the Company.
		

		
			“Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates on account of (i) the Participant’s death, (ii) the Participant’s Disability, (iii) the Company’s termination of the Participant for a reason other than Cause or Disability or (iv) the Participant’s resignation with Good Reason.
		

		
			No Right to Continued Employment.  This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Award do not give the Participant any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company or an Affiliate.  This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Award shall not interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment.
		

		
			Change in Capital Structure.  In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement and the number and kind of Shares shall be adjusted as the Board determines to be equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.
		

		
			Governing Law; Venue.  The laws of the State of North Dakota shall govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, its validity, interpretation, construction and performance but without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.  Any party bringing a legal action or proceeding against any other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement may bring the legal action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota or in any court of the State of North Dakota sitting in Minot, North Dakota.  Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) any objection it may now or later have to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in a court described in the preceding sentence and (ii) any claim that any legal action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

Conflicts.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.  All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant.
		

		
			Participant Bound by Plan.  The Participant hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant and the Participant agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Plan.
		

		
			Binding Effect.  Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s successors in interest and the Company and any successors of the Company.
		

		
			Recoupment.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s rights in the Shares and any dividends or other distributions paid or payable with respect to the Shares are subject to recoupment or repayment if, and to the extent that, such action is required under applicable law or any Company recoupment or “clawback” policy.
		

		
			 
		

		
			IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Participant have executed this Stock Award Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

      terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Commitment
      shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

	
      
	
      
      (iii)			 Reduction
      of Commitment.

	
      
	
      
      (A)			 Voluntary
      Reductions.  The Borrowers
      shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon two (2)
      Business Days' (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Lender) prior
      written notice to the Lender to permanently reduce in amounts equal to
      Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or integral multiples thereof in
      excess thereof, or terminate the Commitment, without penalty or premium;
      provided, however, that no voluntary reduction to the Commitment may be
      made or shall be effective during each period of time commencing on the
      date of the Lender's grant of Borrowers' request for the increase of the
      Commitment utilizing all or a portion of the Accordion Amount in
      accordance with Section 2.2.2(a)(iv) and ending at the close of
      the Borrowers' next fiscal quarter.
         

	
      
	
      
      (iv)			 Increase
      of Commitment.  At any time or
      times when no Event of Default exists (and provided no Event of Default
      will occur if the request is given effect), the Borrowers may request in
      writing that the Lender agree to increase the Commitment by an amount not
      exceeding in the aggregate Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00)
      ("Accordion
      Amount"),
      thereby increasing the Commitment to a total sum no greater than One
      Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000.00).  The Lender
      shall consider such request in its sole discretion.  The Lender
      shall grant or decline such request within thirty (30) days of its receipt
      of the request and shall confirm same in writing.  Requests by
      the Borrowers for approval of advances under this Section 2.2.2(a)(iv)
      shall seek an increased amount of no less than $5,000,000.00 per request
      (or, if less, any remaining unfunded amount of the Accordion Amount or
      such lower amounts agreed to by Lender), and shall not be made less than
      thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.  A request for an
      advance of all or a portion of the Accordion Amount shall be made by a
      written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit
      "B" annexed hereto and
      incorporated herein, which is delivered to the Lender in accordance with
      Section 10.1 below, and shall be executed by the Borrowers' Chief
      Financial Officer or other authorized signatory.  Any Loans made
      by Lender pursuant to all or any portion of the Accordion Amount which has
      been approved for advances by the Lender shall be on the same terms set
      forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the
      Maturity Date and pricing).

	
      
	
      
      (b)			 Manner
      of Effecting a Borrowing.

	
      
	
      
      (i)			 Borrowing
      Notice.  To effect a
      borrowing, the Borrowers shall give the Lender written notice
      substantially in the form annexed to this Agreement as Exhibit B or in such other form as
      the Lender and the Borrowers may agree upon, specifying the amount and
      date of each intended borrowing, the manner in which the same shall be
      disbursed, which notice shall be given no later than 11:00 a.m.
      (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania time) two (2) Business Days (or such shorter
      period as is acceptable to Lender) prior to the date of such
      borrowing.  Each such notice of borrowing shall contain a
      certification by the Borrowers that, both before and after giving effect
      to the proposed borrowing, the Borrowers are in compliance with the
      covenant set forth in Article 6 below and that no Event of Default exists
      or would be created thereby.

-14-		 

			 		

 

	
      
	
      
      (ii)			 Cash
      Management.  The borrowing
      notice procedures set forth in Section 2.2.2(b)(i) above shall continue in
      effect for the making of Loans under the then-existing Commitment until
      such time as the Borrowers and Lender have agreed upon (in writing) and
      instituted the Lender's day-to-day cash management and cash sweep
      services, whereupon advances of Loans and repayments of Loans under the
      Line of Credit shall occur daily in accordance with the terms of such cash
      management and cash sweep services.

	
      
	
      
      (iii)			 Obligations
      Suspended During Default.  The
      Lender shall not be obligated to comply with a borrowing notice or to
      advance any Loan if there shall then exist an Event of
    Default.

	
      
	
      
      (c)			 Letters
      of Credit.

	
      
	
      
      (i)			 Commitment
      to Issue.  Borrowers may
      utilize the Commitment by requesting that the Lender issue, and the
      Lender, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall
      issue, standby letters of credit for a Borrowers' account (such letters of
      credit being hereinafter referred to as the "Letters of Credit"; provided,
      however, (A) the aggregate amount of outstanding Letter of Credit
      Liabilities shall not at any time exceed Thirty Million Dollars
      ($30,000,000.00) (such amount the "Letter
      of Credit Sublimit")
      and (B) the sum of any amount of any outstanding Loans under the Line of
      Credit and outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time
      exceed the Commitment.  Upon termination of the Commitment, any
      Letter of Credit then outstanding which has been fully cash collateralized
      to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender shall no longer be considered a
      "Letter of Credit" as defined in this Agreement but the letter of credit
      fees payable hereunder shall continue to accrue to the Lender with respect
      to such Letter of Credit until the expiry
thereof.

	
      
	
      
      (ii)			 Letter
      of Credit Request Procedure.  Except
      for Letters of Credit issued on the Closing Date, Borrowers shall give
      Lender not less than three (3) Business Days' (or such shorter period as
      is acceptable to Lender) prior notice (effective upon receipt) specifying
      the date of each Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be
      supported thereby.  Each Letter of Credit shall have a term
      which does not exceed one (1) year and an expiration date that does not
      extend beyond a date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date,
      shall be payable in U.S. Dollars, must support a transaction entered into
      in the ordinary course of business of Borrowers, must be reasonably
      satisfactory in form and substance to Lender, and shall be issued pursuant
      to such documentation as Lender may reasonably require, including, without
      limitation, the Lender's standard form Letter of Credit Agreement executed
      by an authorized signer of the Borrowers for the account of which the
      Letter of Credit is to be issued; provided, that, in the event of any
      conflict between the terms of such Letter of Credit Agreement and the
      other Loan Documents, the terms of the other Loan Documents shall
      control.

	
      
	
      
      (iii)			 Letter
      of Credit Fees.  Borrowers will
      pay to the Lender a fee (the "Letter
      of Credit Fee"), such fee (A) to be paid
      in arrears on the first Quarterly Payment Date occurring after the date of
      the issuance of the first Letter of Credit and on each Quarterly Payment
      Date thereafter until the date of expiration or termination of all Letters
      of Credit and (B) to be calculated by reference to the product of the
      actual daily undrawn face amount of all issued Letters of Credit
      multiplied by a rate per annum equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) on
      the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed
      		 

      

      
      -15-
      		 

      
      			 		

 

	
      (including the first day but
      excluding the last day).  The Borrowers will pay to the Lender
      all customary issuance and other fees for issuing and processing Letters
      of Credit and for amendments to and processing of the Letters of
      Credit.

	
      
	
      
      (iv)			 Reimbursements.  The Borrowers
      shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to immediately
      reimburse the Lender for any amounts paid by the Lender upon any demand
      for payment or drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment,
      demand, protest or other formalities of any kind.  All payments
      on the Reimbursement Obligations shall be made to Lender not later than
      2:00 p.m. on the first Business Day after the date of the corresponding
      payment under the Letter of Credit by the Lender; provided, that Lender
      has provided notice to the Borrowers prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first
      Business Day prior to such day that such payment is due.  In the
      event such notice is received after 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, such
      payment shall be due not later than 1:00 p.m. on the second succeeding
      Business Day.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this
      Agreement, such reimbursement may be made by Borrowers requesting a Loan
      under the Line of Credit in accordance with Section 2.2.2(b) hereof, the
      proceeds of which shall be credited against Borrowers' Reimbursement
      Obligations.

	
      
	
      
      (v)			 Reimbursement
      Obligations Absolute.  The
      Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement shall be
      absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly
      in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents under all circumstances
      whatsoever and Borrowers hereby waive any defense to the payment of the
      Reimbursement Obligations based on any circumstance whatsoever, including,
      without limitation, in either case, the following
      circumstances:  (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of
      any Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document; (B) the existence of any
      claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights which any Loan Party
      or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary of any
      Letter of Credit, the Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection
      with any Loan Document or any unrelated transaction; (C) any statement,
      draft or other documentation presented under any Letter of Credit proving
      to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
      statement herein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (D)
      payment by the Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a
      draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter
      of Credit; or (E) any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not
      similar to any of the foregoing.  Notwithstanding any prepayment
      by Borrowers to Lender of all amounts due on account of Loans under the
      Line of Credit, or the expiration or termination of the availability of
      Loans under the Line of Credit, or the occurrence of the Maturity Date or
      a Default,  so long as any Letter of Credit, or any extension,
      amendment or renewal thereof, is outstanding, available and unexpired,
      whether or not draws have been made thereunder, it shall be deemed that
      sums are due and owing to Lender pursuant to this Agreement on account of
      the Reimbursement Obligations and Borrowers shall remain bound by all
      covenants, conditions, restrictions, and obligations set forth in this
      Agreement and the Loan Documents until such time as all amounts due
      hereunder have been repaid to Lender in full (other than contingent
      indemnification obligations) and no Letter of Credit is outstanding or in
      effect.

	
      
	
      
      (vi)			 Assumption
      of Risk by Borrowers.  As
      between the Borrowers and the Lender, the Borrowers assume all risks of
      the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by,
      the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In
      		 

      

      
      -16-
      		 

      
      			 		

 

	
      furtherance and not in
      limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the applications
      for the issuance of Letters of Credit, the Lender shall not be responsible
      for:

	
      
	
      
      (A)			 the
      form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
      document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for
      and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the
      Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects,
      invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or
  forged;

	
      
	
      
      (B)			 the
      validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning, or
      purporting to transfer or assign, any Letter of Credit or the rights or
      benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
      provide to be invalid or ineffective for any
  reason;

	
      
	
      
      (C)			 the
      failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with
      conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of
    Credit;

	
      
	
      
      (D)			 errors,
      omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
      messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not
      they be in cipher;

	
      
	
      
      (E)			 errors
      in interpretation of technical terms;

	
      
	
      
      (F)			 any
      loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in
      order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds
      thereof;

	
      
	
      
      (G)			 the
      misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds
      of any drawing under such Letter of Credit;
or

	
      
	
      
      (H)			 any
      consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Lender,
      including, without limitation, any act of any Governmental
      Authority.

None of the foregoing shall
affect, impair, or prevent the investing of any of the Lender's rights or powers
under this Section 2.2.2(c).  The Borrowers shall
have a claim against the Lender and the Lender shall be liable to Borrowers, to
the extent of any direct (but not indirect, consequential or punitive) damages
suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove in a final nonappealable
judgment were caused by (A) the Lender's willful misconduct or gross negligence
in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit complied
with the terms thereof or (B) the Lender's willful failure to pay under any
Letter of Credit after presentation to it of documentation strictly complying
with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  The Lender
may accept documents that reasonably appear on their face to be in order,
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary.

      2.3.			 Interest.

	
      
	
      
      2.3.1.			 Interest
      Rate.  The Loans shall
      bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date
      when made until paid at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable
      Margin.
       In the event that Section 2.6.1 below shall become applicable, the
      Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate, plus the Applicable
      Margin.  The variable rate of interest applicable to the Loans
      is subject to daily change.

	
      
	
      
      2.3.2.			 Calculation
      and Payment of Interest.  Interest
      shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each
      month.  In addition to the foregoing, interest shall be due and
      payable upon repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of a
      Loan.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year
      and actual days elapsed.

	
      
	
      
      2.3.3.			 Applicable
      Margin.
       The term "Applicable
      Margin", when
      used herein with respect to the rate of interest to be charged on the Line
      of Credit, shall mean, at any time, sixty-five
      hundredths of one percent (0.65%).

	
      
	
      
      2.3.4.			 Default
      Rate.  Anything in
      this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, during the existence of
      any Event of Default hereunder, at the election of the Lender, the Loans
      shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of two percent (2%) per
      annum plus the rate of interest otherwise prevailing pursuant to Section
      2.3.1 above (the "Default
      Rate").

	
      
	
      
      2.4.			 Repayments
      and Prepayments.

	
      
	
      
      2.4.1.			 Scheduled
      Payments

Line
of Credit.  Until such time as
the Promissory Note becomes due and payable, the Borrowers shall make payments
of interest only on the then outstanding principal amount of the Line of Credit,
payable in arrears as set forth in Section 2.3.2.		 

	
      
	
      
      2.4.2.			 Payments
      of Loan on Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding
      anything else provided herein, all outstanding amounts of principal on the
      Line of Credit, together with all unpaid interest and fees related thereto
      and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, if not due and
      payable or paid before, shall be due and payable on the Maturity
      Date.

	
      
	
      
      2.4.3.			 Voluntary
      Prepayments of Loan.  Except
      as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall be
      permitted to prepay the Line of Credit at any time without penalty or
      premium.

	
      
	
      
      2.4.4.			 Prepayments
      of Loan In Connection With Commitment Reductions.  The
      amount of the outstanding and unpaid advances of principal under the Line
      of Credit may not, at any time, exceed the amount of the
      Commitment.  Therefore, upon the effective date of each
      reduction in the Commitment (whether voluntary of otherwise), the
      Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a sum equal to the amount of the
      principal advances under the Line of Credit to the extent, if any, that
      the aggregate principal amount under the Line of Credit then outstanding
      exceeds the amount of the Commitment as so reduced, together with all
      interest accrued, on the principal sum
prepaid.

      2.4.5.			 Mandatory
      Prepayment of Loan.

Loans
under the Line of Credit.  If
at any time the outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit exceeds
the Commitment, Borrowers shall immediately prepay and reduce, without need of
demand, from time to time, the outstanding principal balance by the amount of
such excess.		 

	
      
	
      
      2.4.6.			 Application
      of Prepayments and Repayments.  Unless
      otherwise provided in this Agreement, repayments and prepayments shall be
      applied first to costs, indemnities and fees (to the extent then payable)
      then to principal applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding,
      then to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, and finally to provide cash
      collateral for Letters of Credit.  All mandatory prepayments
      under Section 2.4.5 shall be applied first to outstanding Loans under
      the Line of Credit (with a corresponding reduction in the
      Commitment) in
      the same order as the previous
sentence.

	
      
	
      
      2.4.7.			 Payments
      to Lender.

	
      
	
      
      (a)			 All
      payments on account of principal and interest on the Loans, the Unused
      Fees, and all other amounts otherwise payable by the Borrowers to the
      Lender under this Agreement, shall be made to the Lender in
      U.S.  Dollars which are immediately available by 3:00 p.m.
      (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania time), on the due date for such payment, at the
      Lender's principal office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania specifying amount
      and date of payment, re: Borrowers (and if by wire transfer, in accordance
      with the instructions on the signature page to this Agreement executed by
      the Lender), or to such other accounts or Persons or at such other place
      as the Lender may direct in writing.  The Borrowers hereby
      authorize the Lender to (i) apply to the aforesaid payments, up to the
      amount of such payments, any portion of the balance of any account
      maintained by the Borrowers for the purpose of facilitating said payments,
      and/or (ii) cause the aforesaid payments to be made, if not paid by the
      Borrowers when due, by drawing under the loan facilities provided under
      this Agreement if available; notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts
      not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate, subject to the
      following sentence.  The failure by the Borrowers to make a
      payment by 3:00 p.m. shall not constitute an Event of Default if such
      payment is made on the due date; however, any payment made after such time
      on such due date shall be deemed made on the next Business Day for the
      purpose of interest and reimbursement
  calculations.

	
      
	
      
      (b)			 Borrowers
      authorize Lender to collect all principal, interest and fees due under the
      Line of Credit by charging Borrowers' deposit account number x3529 with
      Lender, or any other deposit account maintained by Borrowers with Lender,
      for the full amount thereof.  Should there be insufficient funds
      in any such deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount
      of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by the
      Borrowers.

	
      
	
      
      2.5.			 Origination
      and Unused Fees.

	
      
	
      
      2.5.1.			 Unused
      Fee.  The Borrowers
      shall pay to the Lender quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment
      Date and at any time there shall be a reduction in the amount of the
      Commitment and on the Maturity Date, a non-refundable unused fee (the
      "Unused
      Fee") 
      		 

      

      
      -19-
      		 

      
      			 		

 

	
      (calculated on the basis of
      a 365 day year and the actual days elapsed) equal to the product of the
      Unused Fee Rate times the average daily unborrowed portion of the amount
      of the Commitment during the period ended on such Quarterly Payment Date
      or such Commitment reduction date or Maturity Date, as the case may
      be.

	
      
	
      
      2.6.			 Additional
      Provisions Respecting Rates and Costs.

	
      
	
      
      2.6.1.			 Mandatory
      Suspension of LIBOR Rate.  The
      Lender's obligations to make or continue Loans at the LIBOR Rate shall be
      suspended, and all the Lender's outstanding Loans shall be converted into
      Loans at the Base Rate, if:

	
      
	
      
      (a)			 on
      or prior to the determination of the LIBOR Rate, the Lender determines
      that for any reason appropriate information is not available to it for
      purposes of determining the LIBOR
Rate;

	
      
	
      
      (b)			 the
      Lender determines that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Lender would
      not accurately reflect the cost to the Lender of making or continuing
      Loans at the LIBOR Rate;

	
      
	
      
      (c)			 at
      any time, the Lender determines that any Regulatory Change makes it
      unlawful or impracticable for Lender to make or continue the LIBOR Rate,
      or to comply with its obligations hereunder in respect thereof;
      or

	
      
	
      
      (d)			 the
      Lender determines that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, the Lender is
      restricted, directly or indirectly, in the amount that it may hold of (i)
      a category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which, or
      on the basis of which, the interest rate is the LIBOR Rate or (ii) the
      category of assets that includes Loans at the LIBOR
  Rate.

	
      
	
      
      2.6.2.			 Regulatory
      Changes; Increased Costs.  If
      in the opinion of the Lender (a) any Regulatory Change shall directly or
      indirectly (i) reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the
      Lender on any Loan, (ii) impose a cost on the Lender or any Affiliate of
      the Lender that is attributable to the making or maintaining of, or the
      Lender's commitment to make, any Loan, (iii) require the Lender or any
      Affiliate of the Lender to make any payment on, or calculated by reference
      to, the gross amount of any amount received by the Lender under any Loan
      Document or (iv) reduce, or have the effect of reducing, the rate of
      return on any capital of the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender that
      the Lender or such Affiliate is required to maintain on account of any
      Loan or the Lender's commitment to make any Loan and (b) such reduction,
      increased cost or payment shall not be fully compensated for by an
      adjustment in the applicable rates of interest payable under the Loan
      Documents, then, upon written request of the Lender, the Borrowers shall
      pay to the Lender such additional amounts as the Lender determines will,
      together with any adjustment in the applicable rates of interest payable
      hereunder, fully compensate it for such reduction, increased cost or
      payment.  Such additional amounts shall be payable, in the case
      of those applicable to prior periods, within thirty (30) days after
      request by the Lender for such payment and, in the case of those
      applicable to future periods, on the date specified in such
      request.  The Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers of any
      determination made by it referred to above, but the failure to give such
      notice shall not affect the Lender's right to such compensation;
      provided,  however, that the Borrowers shall
      not be required to pay such 		 

      

      
      -20-
      		 

      
      			 		

 

	
      additional amounts for any
      period ending prior to the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the
      giving of such notice.

	
      
	
      
      2.6.3.			 Capital
      Requirements.  If, in the
      determination of the Lender, the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender is
      required, as a result of a Regulatory Change, to maintain capital on
      account of any Loan or the Lender's commitment to make any Loan, then,
      upon request by the Lender, the Borrowers shall from time to time
      thereafter pay to the Lender such additional amounts as the Lender
      determines will fully compensate for any reduction in the rate of return
      on the capital that the Lender or such Affiliate is so required to
      maintain on account of such Loan or commitment suffered as a result of
      such capital requirement.  Such additional amounts shall be
      payable, in the case of those applicable to prior periods, within thirty
      (30) days after request by the Lender for such payment and, in the case of
      those relating to future periods, on the dates specified in such request;
      provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay such
      additional amounts for any period ending prior to the date that is ninety
      (90) days prior to the giving of such
notice.

	
      
	
      
      2.6.4.			 Determinations.  In making the
      determinations contemplated by this Section 2.6, the Lender may make
      such estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that the Lender
      reasonably and in good faith determines to be appropriate, and the
      Lender's selection thereof in accordance with this Section 2.6, and
      the determinations made by the Lender on the basis thereof, shall be
      final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrowers, absent manifest
      error.  The Lender shall furnish to the Borrowers, at the time
      of any request for compensation under Subsections 2.6.2 or 2.6.3, a certificate
      outlining in reasonable detail the computation of any amounts claimed by
      it under said Subsection 2.6.2 or 2.6.3 and the
      assumptions underlying such computations, which shall include a statement
      of an officer of such Lender certifying that such request for compensation
      is being made pursuant to a policy adopted by such Lender to seek such
      compensation generally from customers similar to the Borrowers and having
      similar provisions in agreements with the
Lender.

	
      
	
      
      2.6.5.			 Change
      of Lending Office.  If
      an event occurs with respect to a Lending Office of the Lender that makes
      operable the provisions of Subsection 2.6.1 or requires a payment under
      Subsection 2.6.2
      or 2.6.3, the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate another
      Lending Office, the designation of which will reduce the amount the
      Borrowers are so obligated to pay, eliminate such operability or reduce
      the amount the Lender is so entitled to claim, provided,  however, that such designation
      would not, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender, be
      materially disadvantageous to the Lender in any manner or contrary to the
      Lender's policies.  Except as set forth in this
      Subsection 2.6.5,
      the Lender may designate any lending office as its Lending
      Office.

	
      
	
      
      2.7.			 Taxes.

	
      
	
      
      2.7.1.			 Taxes
      Payable by the Borrowers.  If
      any Tax is required to be withheld or deducted from, or is otherwise
      payable by the Borrowers in connection with, any payment due hereunder to
      the Lender that is not a "United
      States Person"
      (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) the
      Borrowers (i) shall, if required, withhold or deduct the amount of such
      Tax from such payment and, in any case, pay such Tax to the appropriate
      taxing authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) except in the
      case of any Bank Tax, shall pay 		 

      

      
      -21-
      		 

      
      			 		

 

	
      to the Lender such
      additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by
      the Lender with respect to such payment, after withholding or deducting
      all Taxes (other than Bank Taxes) required to be withheld or deducted, is
      equal to the full amount payable hereunder.  If any Tax is
      withheld or deducted from, or is otherwise payable by the Borrowers in
      connection with, any payment due to the Lender hereunder, the Borrowers
      shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt
      for such Tax from the applicable taxing authority within 30 days after the
      date of such payment (or, if such receipt shall not have been made
      available by such taxing authority within such time, the Borrowers shall
      use reasonable efforts to promptly obtain and furnish such
      receipt).  If the Borrowers fail to pay any Taxes, other than
      Bank Taxes, when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit
      to the Lender the required receipts, the Borrowers shall indemnify the
      Lender for any such Taxes, interest, penalties or additions to such Tax
      that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such
      failure.

	
      
	
      
      2.7.2.			 Reimbursement
      of Taxes Payable by the Lender.  The
      Borrowers shall, promptly upon request by the Lender for the payment
      thereof, pay to the Lender an amount equal to (a) all Taxes (other than
      Bank Taxes and without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to the
      preceding Subsection 2.7.1) payable by the Lender with
      respect to any payment due to the Lender hereunder and (b) all Taxes
      (other than Bank Taxes) payable by the Lender as a result of payments made
      by the Borrowers (whether made to a taxing authority or to the Lender
      pursuant to Subsection 2.7.1 or this
      Subsection 2.7.2).  The
      Lender shall only require payment under this Subsection 2.7.2
      if such request for payment is made pursuant to a policy adopted by the
      Lender to seek such payments generally from customers similar to the
      Borrowers and having similar provisions in agreements with the
      Lender.

      4.1.			 Representations
      of
      Borrowers.

In order to induce the Lender to
enter into this Agreement and to make the Loan contemplated hereunder, the
Borrowers hereby make the following representations and warranties, which
representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and shall not be affected or
waived by any inspection or examination made by or on behalf of the
Lender:		 

	
      
	
      
      4.1.1.			 Organization;
      Qualification.

	
      
	
      
      (a)			 Each
      Borrower is a duly organized corporation or limited liability company,
      validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
      formation.  Each Borrower has the power and authority and all
      material governmental authorizations needed to own its property and assets
      and to transact the business in which it is engaged or presently proposes
      to engage.  Each Borrower is qualified to do business in each
      state or jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would reasonably be
      expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

	
      
	
      
      (b)			 Schedule 4.1.1(b) attached hereto correctly
      sets forth, as of the Closing Date, the correct legal name of each
      Borrower and:  (i) its state of formation and (ii) each state in
      which it is qualified to do business.

	
      
	
      
      (c)			 Schedule
      4.1.1(c)
      attached hereto correctly sets forth as of the Closing Date, the correct
      legal name of each Subsidiary of the Borrowers and:  (i) its
      state of formation and (ii) each state in which it is qualified to do
      business.

	
      
	
      
      4.1.2.			 Ownership.  Weis Markets,
      Inc., a Borrower, is a publicly held corporation with common stock shares
      traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "WMK". 
      The ownership
      of such Borrower's issued and outstanding common stock is accurately
      reflected in its filings with the SEC.  Dutch Valley Food
      Company, LLC, Weis Transportation, LLC and WMK Financing, Inc. are
      wholly-owned subsidiaries of Weis Markets,
Inc.

	
      
	
      
      4.1.3.			 Power
      and Authority.  The Borrowers
      have the power to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions
      of each of the Loan Documents to which each is a party, and Borrowers have
      taken all necessary action (including, without limitation, obtaining any
      consent of stockholders, partners or members required by law or by their
      respective organizational documents) to authorize the execution, delivery
      and performance of the Loan Documents to which each Borrower is a
      party.  This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Loan
      Documents when delivered hereunder by the Borrowers and/or other Loan
      Parties, as applicable, will constitute, the authorized, valid and legally
      binding obligations of such Persons, enforceable against each of said
      Persons in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
      enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
      rights generally and by general principles of
  equity.

-25-		 

			 		

 

	
      
	
      
      4.1.4.			 No
      Violation of Agreements.  The
      Borrowers are not in default under the provisions of any agreement,
      indenture, franchise, license, permit, mortgage or deed of trust to which
      any of them is a party, which default would reasonably be expected to
      result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The execution and delivery
      of the Loan Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      by the Loan Documents and compliance with the terms and provisions of the
      Loan Documents, will not (a) violate in any material respect any provision
      of law or any injunction or any applicable regulation, order, writ,
      judgment or decree of any court or governmental department, commission,
      board, bureau, agency or instrumentality applicable to the Borrowers, or
      (b) conflict with or be inconsistent with, or result in any material
      breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or
      constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or
      the obligation to impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of
      the Borrowers, pursuant to the terms of any agreement, indenture,
      franchise, license, permit, mortgage or deed of trust to which any
      Borrower is a party or by which any Borrower may be bound, or to which any
      Borrower may be subject, or (c) violate any of the provisions of the
      articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational document of any
      Borrower.

	
      
	
      
      4.1.5.			 Consents.

No consent, approval or
authorization of Borrowers, or recording, filing, registration, notice or other
similar action with or to Borrowers, is required in order to insure the
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents except as may be required by the SEC and those which if not obtained
or made would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.		 

	
      
	
      
      4.1.6.			 Litigation.  There are no
      actions, suits, protests, reconsideration or proceedings pending, or to
      the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened, against or affecting any
      Borrower before any court or before any governmental or administrative
      body or agency, wherein unfavorable decisions, rulings or findings
      individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to have a
      Material Adverse Effect.

	
      
	
      
      4.1.7.			 No
      Burdensome Agreements; Material Agreements.

	
      
	
      
      (a)			 The
      Borrowers are not a party to or subject to any agreement or instrument or
      subject to any corporate or other restrictions which, assuming compliance
      by such Persons with the terms of such agreements or instruments, would
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The
      Borrowers are not party to any agreement prohibited by Section 8.8
      below (dealing with limitations on restrictive
  covenants).

	
      
	
      
      (b)			 All
      contracts, instruments and other agreements with third parties,
      (including, without limitation, all agreements with suppliers and
      customers) that are necessary for the Borrowers to operate their business
      in the manner reflected in the Projections delivered pursuant to Section

All representations and warranties of the Borrowers and

No failure or delay on the part of
the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any or all of the
Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and/or and the
Lender shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under the
Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise of any such right, power
or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.  The rights and remedies expressly provided in the Loan
Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
Lender would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on the Borrowers
or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle the Borrowers or any other

(other than contingent indemnification obligations).  All Obligations
under the Loan Documents shall continue to apply with respect to and during the
collection of amounts due under the Loan Documents or the proof and allowability
of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in
bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and in any workout,

and/or charges (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented, out of
pocket fees and disbursements of legal counsel, accountants, investigators and
other experts) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees and
arising out of, relating to or connected with:  (a) the negotiation,
preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any waiver,
amendment or consent under or with respect to any of the Loan Documents whether
or not executed, (b) consulting with respect to any matter in any way arising
out of, related to, or connected with, the Loan Documents, including (i) the

in, under or related to the Loan Documents, (d) all transfer, documentary, stamp
and similar taxes, and all recording and filing fees and taxes payable in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the execution,
delivery and performance of the Loan Documents or the making of the Loans; and
(e) commissions or claims by or on behalf of brokers, finders or agents not
retained by the Lender provided, however, with respect to liabilities, losses,
costs, expenses, claims and/or charges referred to in clauses (a) through (d)
above to the extent that they are imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Lender, the indemnification of such Lender pursuant to this
Section 10.14 shall be limited to amounts that accrue after the occurrence
of an Event of Default and provided, further, that, unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall not be responsible
for any costs or expenses (including legal fees) in connection with the
assignment or participation of any interests by the Lender hereunder.
		 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrowers hereby indemnify and agree to defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee
from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities,
penalties, fines, damages, judgments, losses, suits, expenses, legal or
administrative proceedings, interest, reasonable and documented out of pocket
costs and expenses (including court costs and attorneys', consultants' and
experts' fees) arising out of or in any way relating to:  (i) the use,
handling, management, production, treatment, processing, storage, transfer,
transportation, disposal, Release or threat of Release of any Hazardous
Substance by or on behalf of, Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof; (ii) the
presence of Hazardous Substances on, about, beneath or arising from any premises
owned or occupied by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (herein
collectively, the "Premises"); (iii) the failure of Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any occupant of any Premises to comply with the
Environmental Laws; (iv) Borrowers' breach of any of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein or in any Loan Documents; (v)
Regulatory Actions (as hereinafter defined) and Third Party Claims (as
hereinafter defined); or (vi) the imposition or recording of a Lien against any
property of Borrowers, their Affiliates and Subsidiaries in connection with any
Release at, on or from any Premises or any activities undertaken on or occurring
at such property, or arising from such property or pursuant to any Environmental
Law.  Borrowers' indemnity and defense obligations under this section
shall include, without limitation and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, any
and all costs related to any Remedial Action.  "Regulatory Action"
means any notice of violation, citation, complaint, request for information,
order, directive, compliance schedule, notice of claim, consent decree, action,
litigation or proceeding brought or instituted by any governmental authority
under or in connection with any 		 

-51-		 

			 		

 

Environmental Law involving the Borrowers any
Subsidiary of the Borrowers, or any occupant of any of the Premises or involving
any of the Premises or any activities undertaken on or occurring at any
Premises.  "Third Party Claims" means claims by a party (other than a party to this
Agreement and other than Regulatory Actions) based on negligence, trespass,
strict liability, nuisance, toxic tort or detriment to human health or welfare
due to Hazardous Substances on, about, beneath or arising from any premises of
Borrowers, their Affiliates or Subsidiaries or in any way related to any alleged
violation of any Environmental Laws or any activities undertaken on or occurring
at any premises of Borrowers, their Affiliates or Subsidiaries.		 

The indemnities contained herein shall survive
repayment of the Loans and satisfaction, release, and discharge of the Loan
Documents, whether through full payment of the Loans, foreclosure, deed in lieu
of foreclosure or otherwise.		 

The foregoing amounts are in addition to any other
amounts which may be due and payable to the Lender under this
Agreement.  A certification by the Lender hereunder of the amount of
liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, claims and/or charges shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers
shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee with respect to a claim or
liability that arises as the result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.

      (a)			 Each
      Borrower has determined and represents to Lender that it has a legitimate
      business purpose for obtaining the Line of Credit and it is in its best
      interests to induce Lender to extend credit pursuant to this
      Agreement.  Each Borrower acknowledges and represents that its
      business is related to the business of every other Borrower hereunder, and
      all commitments, advances and other credit extensions under this Agreement
      will individually and collectively benefit each Borrower
      hereunder.

	
      
	
      
      (b)			 Each
      Borrower has determined and represents to Lender that it is, and after
      giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be,
      Solvent, after giving effect to any available rights of contribution or
      subrogation.

	
      
	
      
      (c)			 Each
      Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally and unconditionally
      liable to Lender for, and will pay to Lender when due, the full amount of
      all existing and future Indebtedness arising in connection with the Line
      of Credit extended under this Agreement, and all modifications, extensions
      and renewals thereto, including without limitation all principal and
      interest, and all fees, costs and expenses chargeable to each Borrower
      individually or collectively in connection with the Line of
      Credit.  These Obligations shall be in addition to any other
      Obligations of any Borrower under any other agreement with Lender entered
      into before or after the date of this Agreement, unless such other
      agreement is expressly modified or revoked in writing, and this Agreement
      shall not affect or invalidate the terms of any such other agreement,
      unless otherwise expressly provided

      (d)			 The
      liability of a Borrower for Indebtedness hereunder shall be reinstated and
      revived and the rights of Lender shall continue if and to the extent that
      for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any facility
      under this Agreement by any Borrower or any other person or entity is
      rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Lender, whether as a result of
      any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as
      though such amount had not been paid.

	
      
	
      
      (e)			 Each
      Borrower authorizes Lender, without notice to or demand on such Borrower,
      and without affecting such Borrowers' liability for Indebtedness incurred
      under the Line of Credit extended under this Agreement, from time to time
      to: (i) alter, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time
      for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the indebtedness of any
      other Borrower to Lender on account of any such facilities; (ii) take and
      		 

      

      
      -55-
      		 

      
      			 		

 

	
      hold security from any other
      Borrower for the payment of Indebtedness incurred under the Line of Credit
      extended under this Agreement, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate
      or release any such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the
      order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, a
      non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security
      agreement, mortgage, or deed of trust, as Lender in its discretion may
      determine; (iv) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or
      any guarantors of any facility hereunder, or any other party obligated
      thereon; and (v) apply payments received by Lender from any other Borrower
      to indebtedness of such other Borrower to Lender other than to the Line of
      Credit extended under this Agreement.

	
      
	
      
      (f)			 Each
      Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that it has established
      adequate means of obtaining from every other Borrower on a continuing
      basis financial and other information relating to the financial condition
      of every other Borrower, and each Borrower agrees to keep adequately
      informed by such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might
      in any way affect its risks hereunder.  Each Borrower further
      agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to it any
      information or material about any other Borrower which is obtained by
      Lender in any manner.

	
      
	
      
      (g)			 Each
      Borrower waives any right to require Lender to: (i) proceed against any
      other Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any
      security held from any other Borrower or any other person; (iii) pursue
      any other remedy in Lender's power; (iv) apply payments received by Lender
      from any other Borrower to the Line of Credit extended under this
      Agreement; (v) make any presentments or demands for performance, or give
      any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest or notices of
      any kind, including without limitation, any notice of nonperformance,
      protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to
      accelerate or notice of acceleration; or (vi) set off against the
      indebtedness the fair value of any real or personal property given as
      collateral for the indebtedness (whether such right of setoff arises under
      statute or otherwise).  In addition to the foregoing, each
      Borrower specifically waives any statutory right it might have to require
      Lender to proceed against other Borrowers or any collateral (if any) that
      secures the indebtedness.

	
      
	
      
      (h)			 Each
      Borrower waives to the extent permitted by applicable law any defense to
      its liability for repaying the Line of Credit extended under this
      Agreement based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other
      defense of any other Borrower or any other person; (ii) the cessation or
      limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the
      liability of any other Borrower for the facility extended under this
      Agreement; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner,
      agent or other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other
      Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower; (iv) the
      application by any other Borrower of the proceeds of the Line of Credit
      extended under this Agreement for purposes other than the purposes
      intended or understood by Lender or each other Borrower; (v) any act or
      omission by Lender which directly or indirectly results in or aids the
      discharge of any other Borrower by operation of law or otherwise, or which
      in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of Lender against
      any other Borrower; (vi) any impairment of the value of any interest in
      any security (if any) for the Line of Credit extended under this
      Agreement, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain
      perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the
      release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to
      preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in 		 

      

      
      -56-
      		 

      
      			 		

 

	
      disposing of, any such
      security; or (vii) any modification of the Indebtedness of any other
      Borrower for the Line of Credit extended under this Agreement, including
      without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in
      time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the indebtedness of
      any Borrower for the Line of Credit extended under this Agreement,
      including increase or decrease of the rate of interest
    thereon.

	
      
	
      
      (i)			 Until
      the Line of Credit extended under this Agreement and all Indebtedness
      arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall have been paid in
      full (other than contingent indemnification obligations), no Borrower
      shall have any right of subrogation.  Each Borrower waives all
      rights and defenses it may have arising out of (i) any election of
      remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a
      non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Line of
      Credit extended under this Agreement, destroys its rights of subrogation
      or its rights to proceed against any other Borrower for reimbursement, or
      (ii) any loss of rights it may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or
      remedies of any other Borrower in connection with any anti-deficiency laws
      or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging any Borrowers'
      indebtedness for the Line of Credit extended under this Agreement, whether
      by operation of law, or otherwise, including any rights Borrower may have
      to claim a fair market credit with respect to a deficiency or have a fair
      market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any
      foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for
      any portion of the Indebtedness, and each Borrower waives any right such
      Borrower may have under any "one-action" rule.  Each Borrower
      further waives the benefit of any homestead, exemption or other similar
      laws.

	
      
	
      
      (j)			 Until
      all Indebtedness of each Borrower to Lender arising under or in connection
      with this Agreement shall have been paid in full (other than contingent
      indemnification obligations), each Borrower waives any right to enforce
      any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other
      Borrower or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to
      participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender (if
      any).  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
      Borrower waives all rights of a surety and the benefits of any applicable
      suretyship law, statute or regulation, and without limiting any of the
      waivers set forth herein, each Borrower further waives any other fact or
      event that, in the absence of this provision, would or might constitute or
      afford a legal or equitable discharge or release of or defense to such
      Borrower.

	
      
	
      
      (k)			 Notwithstanding any other
      provisions set forth herein, each Borrower agrees that whenever an
      Officer's Compliance Certificate is required or permitted to be submitted
      to the Lender under the terms of this Agreement, such Officer's Compliance
      Certificate may be prepared, executed and submitted to the Lender by the
      chief financial officer or other authorized officer of Weis Markets, Inc.
      on behalf of (and to be binding upon) each and all of the Borrowers and
      the Lender agrees to accept as properly executed the submission of a
      Certificate executed solely by such officer on behalf of all of the
      Borrowers.
