          2. CONSTRUCTION. Husker Ag shall, without cost to Railroad, perform or
shall have performed for it all track construction and grading of the Track and

<PAGE>

          3. OWNERSHIP AND PROPERTY INTERESTS. Husker Ag shall own the portion
of the Track located on its property and indicated in green on Exhibit A, and
Railroad shall own the portion of the Track located on its property and
indicated in red on Exhibit A. Railroad shall have the right to use the Tracks
for purposes of providing rail transportation to Husker Ag. Husker Ag hereby
grants to Railroad, its successors, assigns and permitees, an easement coupled
with an interest for reasonable access to and use of the Track in connection
with service as a rail carrier for Husker Ag, such easement to continue for so
long as this agreement remains in effect.

          4. MAINTENANCE. Husker Ag shall maintain the Track and all
appurtenances (both the portions located on Husker Ag's property and the portion
located on Railroad's property) in a safe and usable condition consistent with
Industry standards. In the event Husker Ag shall fail to so maintain, Railroad
shall be under no obligation nor shall it have any liability if it does not
operate over said portion of the Track. Husker Ag shall provide adequate
drainage and keep the area along and adjacent to said portion of the Track free
and clear of all ice and snow, materials, obstacles and debris so as to provide
a safe workway for Railroad's employees. Any future changes in or extensions of

locomotives and cars, shall not be made by Husker Ag without prior written
notice to Railroad.

such written approval by Railroad shall not relieve Husker Ag from any risk
arising from establishment of clearances less than those hereinabove
specifically provided.

          6. LIABILITY. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this
Agreement, in respect of all loss or damage to property and/or in respect of

     6, and irrespective of any joint or concurring negligence of Railroad, the
     Husker Ag assumes sole responsibility for and agrees to indemnify, save
     harmless and defend Railroad from and against all fines, damages, losses,
     expenses, attorneys' fees, claims, actions, or legal proceedings arising,

                                   THE CREDIT

         2.1 Commitment; Increase in Aggregate Commitment. From and including
the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date, each
Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time in amounts not to
exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the amount of its
Commitment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow,
repay and reborrow at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. The
Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire on the Facility Termination Date.

         The Borrower shall also have the right during the first twelve (12)
months of the Agreement to increase the Aggregate Commitment up to a maximum of
$75,000,000 by obtaining the agreement of one or more of the then-current
Lenders to increase its or their Commitments, or by finding one or more new
Lenders. Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an
Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto by the
Borrower, the Agent and the new bank or existing Lender providing such
additional Commitment, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the
Agent promptly after execution thereof. On the effective date of each such
increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower and the Agent shall cause the
new or existing Lenders providing such increase to hold its or their Percentage
of all ratable Advances outstanding at the close of

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

business on such day, by either funding more than its or their Percentage of new
ratable Advances made on such date or purchasing shares of outstanding ratable
Loans held by the other Lenders or a combination thereof. The Lenders agree to
cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding ratable Advances to
achieve such result. In no event shall the Aggregate Commitment exceed
$75,000,000 without the approval of all of the Lenders.

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

         2.3 Ratable Loans. Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made
from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to the ratio that their
respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment. The Advances may be
Floating Rate Advances or LIBOR Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by
the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.9 and 2.10. If any Lender shall
default in its obligation to fund all or a portion of its Percentage of any
Advance (a "Defaulting Lender"), then simultaneously with any funding by any of
the remaining Lenders (each, a "Funding Lender") of their respective Percentages
of such Advance (such an Advance is sometimes referred to herein as a "Partial
Advance"), the respective Funded Percentages of each Defaulting Lender and of
each Funding Lender shall automatically be adjusted so that following such
adjustment each Lender's Funded Percentage shall correspond to the aggregate
percentage of all then outstanding Advances (including all Partial Advances)
made by such Lender. Following any adjustment of each Lender's Funded Percentage
pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Lender's Funded Percentage shall be
readjusted only upon the first to occur of (a) a Defaulting Lender subsequently
funding its Percentage of any such Partial Advance, or (b) the repayment in full
(including all interest thereon) to each Funding Lender of its Percentage of any
such Partial Advance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
in no event shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to receive any repayment of
its Percentage of any Advances (or any interest earned thereon) until such time
as the Funding Lenders have received repayment in full of the amount of any
Partial Advance, together with all interest thereon. Borrower shall have the
right to replace a Defaulting Lender in the manner set forth in Section 3.6
below, and upon the replacement of any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender
shall refund to Borrower the pro rata share of all commitment fees paid to such
Defaulting Lender which have not been earned by such Defaulting Lender as of the
date of such replacement, determined by multiplying the amount of all commitment
fees paid by Borrower to or for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (it being understood
and agreed that for purposes of this provision a portion of any month shall
constitute a complete "month") which have elapsed in the 24-month Facility term,
and the denominator of which is 24. Solely by way of example, if Borrower has
paid aggregate commitment fees of $75,000 to a Defaulting Lender, and Borrower
replaces such Defaulting Lender on the first anniversary of the Closing Date,
then concurrently with such replacement such Defaulting Lender shall return to
Borrower $37,500 of the $75,000 in commitment fees.

         2.4 Applicable Margins. The ABR Applicable Margin and the LIBOR
Applicable Margin to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to
different Types of Advances shall vary from time to time as set forth in Exhibit
A-1 in accordance with the ratings from Moody's and/or S&P for Borrower's
long-term unsecured debt. If a rating has been issued by only one of S&P or
Moody's, that rating shall determine the Applicable Margin. In the event both
rating agencies have issued a rating and the rating agencies are split on the
rating for the Borrower's long-term unsecured debt or this Facility, the lower
rating shall be deemed to be the applicable

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

rating (e.g., if the Borrower's Moody's long-term unsecured debt rating is Baal
and its S&P long-term unsecured debt rating is BBB then the Applicable Margins
shall be computed based on the S&P rating). The Applicable Margins shall be
adjusted effective on the next Business Day following any change in the
Borrower's Moody's long-term unsecured debt rating and/or S&P's long-term
unsecured debt rating, as the case may be (provided that if Agent does not
receive notice of a change in rating within twenty days after it occurs then any
reduction in Applicable Margin shall be effective only when such notice is
received).

         In the event that either S&P or Moody's shall discontinue their ratings
of the REIT industry or the Borrower's long-term unsecured debt, a mutually
agreeable substitute rating agency shall be selected by the Required Lenders and
the Borrower. If the Required Lenders and the Borrower cannot agree on a
substitute rating agency within forty-five (45) days of such discontinuance, the
Applicable Margin to be used for the calculation of interest on Advances
hereunder shall be the highest Applicable Margin set forth in Exhibit B. Lenders
acknowledge that the rating for Borrower's unsecured long term debt may be
issued even though Borrower has no outstanding unsecured long term debt.

         2.5 Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay all other fees payable to
the Agent pursuant to the Borrower's prior letter agreement with the Agent dated
May 28, 2002.

         2.6 Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account
of each Lender an unused fee (the "Unused Fee") equal to an amount computed by
multiplying the applicable percentage in Exhibit A-2 (determined by reference to
average usage of the Facility during the applicable quarter) by the average
daily amount during such quarter of the difference between the Aggregate
Commitment and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans for the quarter.
The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
calendar quarter.

         2.7 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each LIBOR Advance shall be in the
minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $250,000 if in excess
thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance shall be in the minimum amount of
$1,000,000 (and in multiples of $250,000 if in excess thereof), provided,
however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused
Aggregate Commitment.

         2.8 Optional Principal Payments. The Borrower may from time to time
pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Advances, or, in a minimum
aggregate amount of $500,000 or any integral multiple of $250,000 in excess
thereof, any portion of the outstanding Advances upon two Business Days' prior
notice to the Agent; provided however, that the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof
shall be applicable to any prepayment of any LIBOR Advance.

         2.9 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances.
The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR
Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The
Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a "Borrowing Notice") not
later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least one Business Day before the
Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and three Business Days before the
Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance, specifying:

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

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

         (ii)  the aggregate amount of such Advance,

         (iii) the Type of Advance selected, and

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

         Not later than noon (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender
shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in
Chicago to the Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article VIII. The
Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower
at the Agent's aforesaid address.

         No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and,
unless the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more
than five (5) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances outstanding at any
one time.

         2.10  Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating
Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such
Floating Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Advances. Each LIBOR Advance
shall continue as a LIBOR Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest
Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Advance shall be automatically
converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the
Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such
Interest Period, such LIBOR Advance continue as an LIBOR Advance for the same or
another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may
elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type
into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any
LIBOR Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a
"Conversion/Continuation Notice") of each conversion of an Advance or
continuation of a LIBOR Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at
least one Business Day, in the case of a conversion into a Floating Rate
Advance, or three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or
continuation of a LIBOR Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion
or continuation, specifying:

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

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

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

         2.11  Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Advance shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and
including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Advance
into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date
it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Advance pursuant to Section 2.10
hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in
the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating
Rate

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base
Rate. Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of
such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBOR
Advance.

         2.12  Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default
or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the
Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as,
converted into or continued as a LIBOR Advance. During the continuance of a
Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower
(which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that for the duration of such
Default (i) each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest at the rate otherwise
applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate
Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate
otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Advance plus 2% per annum.

         2.13  Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder
shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately
available funds to the Agent at the Agent's address specified pursuant to
Article VIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in
writing by the Agent to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due
and shall be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders. Each payment
delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly
by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at
its address specified pursuant to Article VIII or at any Lending Installation
specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is
hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with First
Chicago for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due
hereunder.-

         2.14  Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to
record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the
schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record
shall not affect the Borrower's obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby
authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances,
effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic
notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith
believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver
promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested
by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized
Officer. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Agent
and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall be presumed
(rebuttably) accurate.

         2.15  Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued
on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and at maturity.
Interest accrued on each LIBOR Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date
on which the LIBOR Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and
at maturity. Interest and commitment fees shall be calculated for actual days

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an
Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment
is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment
of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be
included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

         2.16 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. Promptly
after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each
Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received
by it hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate
applicable to each LIBOR Advance promptly upon determination of such interest
rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Corporate
Base Rate.

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

         2.18 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Borrower or a
Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is
scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the
proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal,
interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not
intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been
made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such
payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such
payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the
Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest
thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such
amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

         2.19 Reduction in Aggregate Commitment. Borrower may from time to time
during the term of this Facility upon prior written notice to Agent, elect to
permanently reduce the amount of the Aggregate Commitment to an amount to be
determined by Borrower; provided, however, that in no event shall Borrower be
entitled to reduce the Aggregate Commitment below $15,000,000 pursuant to this
Section. Each reduction notice from Borrower as described in the preceding
sentence shall be accompanied by payment of any amounts (including any amounts
payable by Borrower pursuant to Article III hereof) necessary to reduce the
outstanding balance of the Advances to the amount specified in such notice. Each
reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall reduce each Lender's Commitment on a
pro rata basis.

         2.20 Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Borrower may request a
one-year extension of the Facility Termination Date by submitting a request for
a one-year extension of the Facility Termination Date to the Agent (an
"Extension Request") no more than 90 and no less

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

than 60 days prior to the original Facility Termination Date. Promptly upon
receipt of an Extension Request, the Agent shall notify each Lender thereof and
shall request each Lender to approve the Extension Request. Such approval shall
be at the Required Lenders' sole election and not binding upon Lender who do not
approve of such extension. Each Lender approving the Extension Request shall
deliver its written consent no later than 15 days prior to such original
Facility Termination Date. If the consent of the Required Lenders is received by
the Agent, the Facility Termination Date shall be extended by one year and the
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of the new Facility
Termination Date. Such extension of the Agreement shall be subject to the terms
of the original Agreement. Borrower shall be charged a fee equal to 3/16% of the
amount of the Aggregate Commitment based on the Commitments of the Lenders who
have agreed to such extension (the "Extension Fee"). No Lender shall be
obligated to extend if they did not approve the extension and the Aggregate
Commitment shall be reduced by the amounts of the Commitments of such Lenders
not extending. Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender that does not
agree to the extension provided that: (a) Borrower notifies such Lender that it
has elected to replace such Lender and notifies such Lender and the
Administrative Agent of the identity of the proposed replacement Lender at least
15 days prior to the original Facility Termination Date and (b) the proposed
replacement Lender is approved by the Agent. The Lender being replaced shall
assign its Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and its rights and obligations
under this Facility to the replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment
substantially in the form of Exhibit E and the replacement Lender shall assume
such Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and the related obligations under
this Facility as of the original Facility Termination Date. The purchase by the
replacement Lender shall be at par (plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any
other sums owed to such Lender being replaced hereunder) which shall be paid to
the Lender being replaced upon the execution and delivery of the Assignment.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                             CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

         3.1   Yield Protection. If any law or any governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or
not having the force of law), or any interpretation thereof, or the compliance
of any Lender therewith,

         (i)   subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any
               tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the
               Borrower (excluding (i) federal taxation of the net income of any
               Lender or applicable Lending Installation, (ii) state and local
               taxation in the jurisdiction where a Lender's home office is
               situated, (iii) state and local taxation in a jurisdiction other
               than described in (ii) above to the extent such Lender receives
               credit on its tax payments in its home jurisdiction for such
               taxes, and (iv) federal withholding tax imposed on payments due
               hereunder or under the Notes), or changes the basis of taxation
               of payments to any Lender in respect of its Loans or other
               amounts due it hereunder, or

         (ii)  imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
               insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against
               assets of, deposits with or

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

               for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any
               applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and
               assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate
               applicable to LIBOR Advances), or

         (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase
               the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of
               making, funding or maintaining loans or reduces any amount
               receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation
               in connection with loans, or requires any Lender or any
               applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by
               reference to the amount of loans held or interest received by it,
               by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

then, within 30 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such
Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount
received which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and
maintaining its Loans and its Commitment.

         3.2   Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender reasonably
determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then,
within 30 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the
portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable
to this Agreement, its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after
taking into account such Lender's policies as to capital adequacy). "Change"
means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this
Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation
controlling any Lender. "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based
capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement,
including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations
promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the
July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory
Practices Entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurements and
Capital Standards," including transition rules, and any amendments to such
regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

         3.3   Availability of LIBOR Advances. If any Lender reasonably
determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Loans at a suitable Lending
Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive,
whether or not having the force of law, the Agent shall suspend the availability
of LIBOR Advances and require any LIBOR Advances to be converted into Floating
Rate Advances; or if the Required Lenders reasonably determine that (i) deposits
of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Advances are not
available, the Agent shall suspend the availability of LIBOR Advances with
respect to any Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii)
an interest rate applicable to a LIBOR Advance does not accurately reflect the
cost of making a LIBOR Advance, then, if for any reason whatsoever the
provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Agent shall suspend the
availability of LIBOR Advances with respect to any Advances made after the date
of any such determination.

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

         3.4   Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Advance occurs
on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether
because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Advance is not made
on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the
Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred
by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in
liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the LIBOR
Advance.

         3.5   Taxes.

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

         (ii)  In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or
               future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or
               property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any
               payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or
               delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
               Note ("Other Taxes").

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

         (iv)  Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
               States of America or a state thereof (each a "Non-U.S. Lender")
               agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the
               date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Agent two duly
               completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form
               W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is
               entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
               deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
               taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Agent a United States Internal
               Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it
               is

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

               entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding
               tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each
               of the Borrower and the Agent (x) renewals or additional copies
               of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that
               such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the
               occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent
               forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments
               thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
               Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding
               sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive
               payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of
               any United States federal income taxes, unless an event
               (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or
               regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
               delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
               inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly
               completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect
               to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Agent that it
               is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or
               withholding of United States federal income tax.

         (v)   For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to
               provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause
               (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty,
               law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
               administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring
               subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to
               be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to
               indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes
               imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S.
               Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced
               rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its
               failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv), above, the
               Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall
               reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such
               Taxes.

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

         (vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental
               authority of the United States or any other country or any
               political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Agent did
               not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account
               of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or
               properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the
               Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption
               from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such
               Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid,
               directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax, withholding
               therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and
               including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to
               the Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and
               expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time
               charges

                                      -23-

                of attorneys for the Agent, which attorneys may be employees of
                the Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section
                3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and
                termination of this Agreement.

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

         3.7    Replacement of Lender by Reason of Change in Circumstances. In
the event that any Lender (a "Recovery Lender") requires Borrower to make any
payment to such Recovery Lender in accordance with the provisions of Sections
3.1, and/or 3.2 and/or 3.5 hereof, then upon written notice from Borrower to
Agent, Borrower and Agent shall mutually use their respective best efforts to
find another lender to replace the Recovery Lender. If a replacement lender is
found then Borrower shall pay to the Recovery Lender all amounts owed to such
Recovery Lender under the Facility, such Recovery Lender shall no longer be a
"Lender" hereunder, and concurrently therewith the remaining parties hereto
shall execute such instruments as shall be necessary to have the replacement
lender become a "Lender" hereunder having a Commitment equal to that of the
Recovery Lender.

         Nothing contained in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to relieve
Borrower of its obligations to make all payments to any Recovery Lender in the
amounts and at the times required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during
the period of time prior to the replacement of such Recovery Lender.

                                  ARTICLE IV.

         4.2   Each Advance. The Lenders shall not be required to make any
Advance (other than an Advance that, after giving effect thereto and to the
application of the proceeds thereof, does not increase the aggregate amount of

                                   ARTICLE V.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

         5.1   Existence. Borrower is a real estate investment trust duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, with its
principal place of business in Rockville, Maryland, and is duly qualified as a
foreign real estate investment trust, properly licensed (if required), in good
standing and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each
jurisdiction in which its business is conducted and in which the failure to be
qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrower's Subsidiaries
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its
business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

         5.2   Authorization and Validity. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries
have the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan
Documents and to perform their obligations thereunder. The execution and
delivery by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which
they are a party and the performance of their obligations thereunder have been
duly authorized by proper proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries enforceable
against the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with their terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

         5.3   No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and
delivery by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Loan Documents, nor the
consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the
provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any such
Subsidiary, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which
the Borrower or any such Subsidiary is a party or is subject, or by which it, or
its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of
the Borrower or any such Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,
instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any
governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is
required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability
of, any of the Loan Documents.

         5.4   Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2001, there has been
no change in the business, Property, prospects, condition (financial or
otherwise) or results of operations of the Borrower which could have a Material
Adverse Effect.

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

         5.6   Litigation and Guarantee Obligations. There is no litigation,
arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to
the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for or
disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.4.

         5.7   No Subsidiaries. Schedule 2 contains a complete list of each
presently existing Subsidiary of the Borrower. The information set forth in
Schedule 2 regarding each Subsidiary is true and correct.

         5.8   ERISA. The Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans do
not in the aggregate exceed $100,000. Neither the Borrower nor any other member
of the Controlled Group has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any
withdrawal liability to Multiemployer Plans in excess of $100,000 in the
aggregate. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event has occurred with
respect to any Plan, neither the Borrower nor any other members of the
Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no
steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.

         5.9   Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report
furnished by the Borrower to the Agent or to any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of, or compliance

                                      -27-

with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted
to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained
therein not misleading.

         5.10 Regulation U. Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U)
constitutes less than 25% of those assets of the Borrower which are subject to
any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder.

         5.11 Material Agreements. The Borrower is not subject to any charter or
other corporate restriction which could have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Borrower is not in material default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i)
any agreement to which it is a party, which default could have a Material
Adverse Effect or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing
Indebtedness.

         5.12 Compliance With Laws. The Borrower has complied in all material
respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and
restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or
agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective
businesses or the ownership of their respective Property. The Borrower has not
received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material
compliance with any of the requirements of applicable federal, state and local
environmental, health and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any
federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed
to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the
environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         5.13 Ownership of Properties. Except as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto,
on the date of this Agreement, the Borrower has good title, free of all Liens
other than those permitted by Section 6.17, to all of the Property and assets
reflected in the financial statements as owned by it.

company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         5.15 Public Utility Holding Company Act. The Borrower is not a "holding
company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", or an "affiliate" of

         5.16 Solvency.

         (i)  Immediately after the Closing Date and immediately following the
              making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of
              the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of
              the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (if any) on a consolidated
              basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities,
              subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its
              Subsidiaries, if any, on a consolidated basis; (b) the present
              fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its
              Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the
              amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the
              Borrower and its Subsidiaries, if any, on a consolidated basis on
              their debts and other liabilities,

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

               subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other
               liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and its
               Subsidiaries, if any, on a consolidated basis will be able to pay
               their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
               otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and
               matured; and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, if any, on a
               consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with
               which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such
               businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted
               after the date hereof.

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

         5.17  Insurance. (i) The Borrower carries insurance on its Property
               with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, in such
               amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are

         5.18  REIT Status. The Borrower is in good standing on the New York

in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Code.

         5.19  Environmental Matters. Each of the following representations and
warranties is true and correct on and as of the Closing Date except to the
extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so
true and correct, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect:

         (i)   To the knowledge of the Borrower, the Property of the Borrower
               and its Subsidiaries do not contain any Materials of
               Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations which
               constitute a violation of, or could reasonably give rise to
               liability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under, Environmental
               Laws.

         (ii)  To the knowledge of the Borrower, (i) the Property of the

               or potential liability regarding environmental matters or
               compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the
               Property, nor does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to
               believe that any such notice will be received or is being
               threatened.

         (iv)  To the knowledge of the Borrower, Materials of Environmental
               Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the

               Subsidiaries is or, to the Borrower's knowledge, will be named as
               a party with respect to the Property of the Borrower and its

                Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the Borrower has determined in
                good faith that contesting the same is not in the best interests
                of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the failure to contest
                the same could not be reasonably expected to have a Material
                Adverse Effect.

                costs, court costs and litigation expenses, except to the extent
                that any of the foregoing arise out of the gross negligence or
                willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification
                therefor. This indemnity shall continue in full force and effect
                regardless of the termination of this Agreement.

                 ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

       8.1    Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6, 7.7 or 7.8
occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make
Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall
immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of
the Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may
terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, or
declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby
expressly waives.

                                      -38-

<PAGE>

       If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations
or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a
result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6, 7.7
or 7.8 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the
payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required
Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice
to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

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

       (i)    Extend the maturity of any Loan or Note (except in accordance with
              Section 2.20) or forgive all or any portion of the principal
              amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment
              of interest or fees thereon.

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

       (iii)  Extend the Facility Termination Date (except in accordance with
              the terms of Section 2.20) or reduce the amount or extend the
              payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section
              2.2 (other than as provided for under Section 2.2), or increase
              the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder (except in
              accordance with the terms of Section 2.1), or permit the Borrower
              to assign its rights under this Agreement.

       (iv)   Amend this Section 8.2.

Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 8.2, the Aggregate
Commitment may be increased prior to the Facility Termination Date (up to the
Maximum Aggregate Commitment) solely by the consent of the Borrower and each
Lender whose Commitment is being increased. No amendment of any provision of
this Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written
consent of the Agent.

       8.3    Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the
Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or
be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the
making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of
the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not
constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any
such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms,
conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless
in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only
to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in
the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be
available to the Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in
full.

the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of the Notes and
the making of the Loans herein contemplated.

the provisions of the Loan Documents.

and understanding among the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders and supersede
all prior commitments, agreements and understandings among the Borrower, the
Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof.

       9.6    Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender
shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the
Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of
its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any
right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and
their respective successors and assigns.

       9.7    Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent

expenses associated with the sale of participating interests in, and assignments
of, the Loans. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse

the Agent and the Lenders for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket
expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and reasonable
expenses for attorneys for the Agent and the Lenders, which attorneys may be
employees of the Agent or the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Agent or any
Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents

indemnify the Agent and each Lender, its directors, officers and employees
against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and

which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the Properties, the transactions contemplated hereby
or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of
any Loan hereunder, except that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to a
Lender to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments,
liabilities and expenses are the result of such Lender's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

       9.8    Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents,
and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Agent with sufficient
counterparts so that the Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.

if any, which are unconsolidated on the Borrower's official financial
statements.

       9.10   Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document
that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction
shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid
without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the
operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared
to be severable.

       9.11   Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower, on
the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other, shall be solely that
of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any
fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any Lender
undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower
of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower's business or
operations.

DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT
OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND

ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE BORROWER AGAINST THE AGENT OR ANY
LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR

                                   ARTICLE X.

                                    THE AGENT

       10.1   Appointment. Bank One, NA is hereby appointed Agent hereunder and
under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes
the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender. The Agent agrees to act as such
upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. The Agent shall not
have a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Borrower or any Lender by reason
of this Agreement.

       10.2   Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under
the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of
each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by
the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

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

       10.4   No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Agent nor
any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain,

<PAGE>

inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor
under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an
obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction
of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be
delivered to the Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any
Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection
therewith; or (v) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of
any interest in any collateral security. The Agent shall have no duty to
disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the
Borrower to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrower
to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity).

       10.5   Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any
other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the
Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of
Notes. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all
liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing
to take any such action.

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

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

Commitments (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the
Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents,
(ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and
enforcement of the Loan Documents and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out
of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or
the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms
thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Agent.

                                      -43-

<PAGE>

The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of
the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

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

       10.10  Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based
on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

       10.11  Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be
effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent
has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have
the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor
Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent's giving notice of its
intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the
Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If the Agent has resigned and no
successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of
the Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the
Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal
directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed
hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such
successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings
of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the
resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an
Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.

       10.12  Commitment as a Lender. Bank One, NA agrees to provide a
Commitment of at least $10,000,000 so long as Bank One, NA remains as Agent;
provided, that the foregoing agreement of Bank One, NA shall not apply to
assignments of all or any portion of Bank One, NA's Commitment which are made at
any time following a Default by Borrower hereunder.

<PAGE>

                                  ARTICLE XI.

                            SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

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

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

                                  ARTICLE XII.

                BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

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

                                      -45-

<PAGE>

of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority
or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has
been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

       12.2   Participations.

              12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the
       ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at
       any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants")
       participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held
       by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of
       such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a
       Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's
       obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender
       shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
       performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of
       its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for
       all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the
       Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had
       not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Agent
       shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
       with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
       Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any fees and expenses incurred by
       any Lender in connection with the sale of any participating interests in
       any Loan pursuant to this Section.

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

              12.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that
       each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in
       Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing
       under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its
       participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the
       Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of
       setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of
       participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to
       share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the
       right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each
       Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of
       setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if
       each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each
       Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4
       and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
       interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a
       Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
       Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating
       interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such
       interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such
       Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and
       (ii) any Participant organized under the laws

       of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state
       thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same
       extent as if it were a Lender.

       12.3   Assignments.

              12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary
       course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
       assign to one or more banks or other entities ("Purchasers") all or any
       part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such
       assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C or in such
       other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the
       Borrower and the Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming
       effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an
       Affiliate thereof immediately prior to the assignment; provided, however,
       that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, or if the assignment is
       in connection with the physical settlement of credit derivative
       transactions, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. The
       Borrower's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each
       such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender in
       connection with any assignment of any portion of the initial $25,000,000
       Maximum Aggregate Commitment or an Affiliate thereof shall (unless each
       of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consents) be in an amount not
       less than the lesser of (i) $ 5,000,000 or (ii) the remaining amount of
       the assigning Lender's Commitment (calculated as at the date of such
       assignment) or outstanding Loans (if the applicable or Aggregate
       Commitment above the initial $25,000,000 Maximum Aggregate Commitment has
       been terminated). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement,
       Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any fees and expenses incurred in
       connection with any assignment of any portion of the initial $25,000,000
       Maximum Aggregate Commitment.

              12.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of
       an assignment, together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and
       (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent for processing such assignment
       (unless such fee is waived by the Agent), such assignment shall become
       effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The
       assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect
       that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the
       Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement
       constitutes "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights and
       interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be
       "plan assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such
       assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to
       this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of
       the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender
       under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original
       party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the
       Lenders or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender
       with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans
       assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a
       Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the
       Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser
       desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate
       arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are
       issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate,
       replacement Notes, are issued to such

                                      -47-

<PAGE>

       Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective
       Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

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

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

                                 ARTICLE XIII.

                                     NOTICES

       13.1   Giving Notice. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.14 with
respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to
any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in
writing or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address
set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address as may be
designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice
transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when received according to the
recipient's automatically generated answerback. Any notice transmitted by
Federal Express or other recognized overnight courier shall be presumed
(rebuttably) given the business day after it is sent. Any other notice shall be
effective only when actually received.

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

                                  ARTICLE XIV.

                                  COUNTERPARTS

       This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of
which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties
hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This
Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the
Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Agent by telex or
telephone, that it has taken such action.

personal liability whatsoever, in tort, contract or otherwise, in connection
