(rounded to the nearest month)  corresponding to the remaining life to maturity,

immediately  preceding  sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated
or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line  basis,  rounding in each of
such relevant  periods to the nearest  month.  For purposes of  calculating  the
Reinvestment  Rate, the most recent  Statistical  Release published prior to the

                               TERMS OF THE NOTES

         Section 2.1 Pursuant to Section 301 of the  Indenture,  the Notes shall
have the following terms and conditions:

         (a) Title;  Aggregate  Principal Amount; Form of Notes. The Notes shall
be Registered Securities under the Indenture and shall be known as the Company's
"8.625%  Senior  Notes due 2010."  The Notes  will be  limited  to an  aggregate
principal  amount of $20,000,000,  subject to the right of the Company to reopen
such series for issuances of additional  securities of such series and except as
provided  in  this  Section  and in  Section  306 of the  Indenture.  The  Notes
(together   with  the  Trustee's   certificate  of   authentication)   shall  be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto,  which is hereby  incorporated in
and made a part of this Supplemental Indenture.

         The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more  registered  global
securities  without coupons  ("Global Notes") that will be deposited with, or on
behalf of, The Depository Trust Company  ("DTC"),  and registered in the name of
DTC's nominee,  Cede & Co. Except under the  circumstance  described  below, the
Notes will not be issuable in definitive form.  Unless and until it is exchanged
in whole or in part for the individual notes represented  thereby, a Global Note
may not be  transferred  except  as a whole by DTC to a  nominee  of DTC or by a
nominee of DTC to DTC or another  nominee of DTC or by DTC or any nominee of DTC
to a successor depositary or any nominee of such successor.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

         So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note,
DTC or such nominee,  as the case may be, will be  considered  the sole owner or
holder of the Notes  represented by such Global Note for all purposes under this
Supplemental Indenture. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interest
in Notes  evidenced  by a Global  Note will not be  entitled  to have any of the
individual Notes represented by such Global Note registered in their names, will
not  receive or be entitled  to receive  physical  delivery of any such Notes in
definitive  form and will not be considered the owners or holders  thereof under
the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture.

         If DTC is at any time  unwilling,  unable or  ineligible to continue as
depositary and a successor  depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90
days, the Company will issue individual Notes in exchange for the Global Note or
Global Notes  representing such Notes. In addition,  the Company may at any time
and in its sole  discretion,  subject  to certain  limitations  set forth in the
Indenture,  determine not to have any of such Notes  represented  by one or more
Global Notes and, in such event, will issue individual Notes in exchange for the
Global Note or Global Notes  representing the Notes.  Individual Notes so issued
will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

         (b) Interest and Interest  Rate. The Notes will bear interest at a rate
of 8.625% per annum,  from  September  29, 2000 (or, in the case of Notes issued
upon the  reopening  of this series of Notes,  from the date  designated  by the
Company in connection  with such  reopening) or from the  immediately  preceding
Interest  Payment  Date to which  interest has been paid or duly  provided  for,
payable  semiannually  on each April 1 and October 1,  commencing  April 1, 2001
(each of which shall be an  "Interest  Payment  Date"),  to the Persons in whose
names the Notes are registered in the Security Register at the close of business
on the day  falling  14  calendar  days  (whether  or not a  Business  Day) next
preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a "Regular Record Date").

         (c) Principal Repayment;  Currency. The stated maturity of the Notes is
October 1, 2010,  provided,  however,  the Notes may be earlier  redeemed at the
option of the Company as provided in paragraph (d) below.  The principal of each
Note  payable  on its  maturity  date  shall be paid  against  presentation  and
surrender  thereof  at  the  Corporate  Trust  Office  of the  Trustee,  located
initially at Two Avenue de Lafayette,  Boston, Massachusetts 02111, in such coin
or currency  of the United  States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for the  payment of public or private  debts.  The  Company  will not pay
Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) on the Notes.

         (d)  Redemption at the Option of the Company;  Acceleration.  The Notes
will be subject to redemption at any time at the option of the Company, in whole
or in part,  upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'  notice to each Holder
of Notes to be redeemed at its address appearing in the Security Register,  at a
price equal to the sum of (i) the principal  amount of the Notes being redeemed,
plus accrued and unpaid  interest to but  excluding  the  applicable  Redemption
Date,  plus (ii) the Make-Whole  Amount.  Upon the  acceleration of the Notes in
accordance with Section 502 of the Indenture, the principal amount of the Notes,
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the Make-Whole  Amount shall become
due and payable immediately.

                              ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

         Section 3.1 In addition  to the  covenants  of the Company set forth in
Article Ten of the Indenture, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes:

         (a) Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

                  (i) The Company will not,  and will not permit any  Subsidiary
         to,  incur  any  Debt  if,  immediately  after  giving  effect  to  the
         incurrence of such  additional Debt and the application of the proceeds
         thereof,  the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the
         Company and its  Subsidiaries  on a  consolidated  basis  determined in
         accordance  with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum  ("Adjusted  Total
         Assets") of (without  duplication)  (A) the Total Assets of the Company
         and its  Subsidiaries as of the end of the calendar  quarter covered in
         the Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K, or the Quarterly  Report on
         Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently  filed with the Securities
         and Exchange  Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Trustee) prior to
         the  incurrence of

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         such  additional  Debt and (B) the  purchase  price of any real  estate
         assets  or  mortgages  receivable  acquired,  and  the  amount  of  any
         securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such proceeds
         were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages  receivable or
         used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of
         such calendar quarter,  including those proceeds obtained in connection
         with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

                  (ii)  In  addition  to  the  foregoing   limitations   on  the
         incurrence  of Debt,  the  Company  will not,  and will not  permit any
         Subsidiary  to,  incur any Secured  Debt if,  immediately  after giving
         effect  to the  incurrence  of such  additional  Secured  Debt  and the
         application of the proceeds thereof,  the aggregate principal amount of
         all outstanding  Secured Debt of the Company and its  Subsidiaries on a
         consolidated basis is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets.

                  (iii)  In  addition  to  the  foregoing   limitations  on  the
         incurrence  of Debt,  the  Company  will not,  and will not  permit any
         Subsidiary  to,  incur  any Debt if the  ratio of  Consolidated  Income
         Available  for Debt  Service to the Annual  Debt  Service  for the four
         consecutive  fiscal  quarters most recently  ended prior to the date on
         which such  additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than
         1.5 to 1.0, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the
         application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption
         that (A) such Debt and any other Debt  incurred  by the Company and its
         Subsidiaries  since the first day of such  four-quarter  period and the
         application  of the proceeds  therefrom,  including to refinance  other
         Debt,  had occurred at the beginning of such period;  (B) the repayment
         or  retirement  of any other Debt by the Company  and its  Subsidiaries
         since the first date of such  four-quarter  period  had been  repaid or
         retired at the  beginning of such period  (except  that, in making such
         computation,  the amount of Debt under any  revolving  credit  facility
         shall be  computed  based upon the average  daily  balance of such Debt
         during such period);  (C) in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred
         in  connection  with  any  acquisition  since  the  first  day of  such
         four-quarter  period,  the related  acquisition  had occurred as of the
         first day of such period with  appropriate  adjustments with respect to
         such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation;  and (D)
         in the case of any  acquisition  or  disposition  by the Company or its
         Subsidiaries  of any  asset or group of  assets  since the first day of
         such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or
         asset purchase or sale, such  acquisition or disposition or any related
         repayment  of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with
         the  appropriate  adjustments  with  respect  to  such  acquisition  or
         disposition being included in such pro forma  calculation.  If the Debt
         giving rise to the need to make the foregoing  calculation or any other
         Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant  four-quarter  period
         bears interest at a floating rate then, for purposes of calculating the
         Annual Debt  Service,  the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed
         on a pro forma basis as if the average  interest  rate which would have
         been in effect during the entire such four-quarter  period had been the
         applicable rate for the entire such period.

         (b)  Maintenance  of Total  Unencumbered  Assets.  The  Company and its
Subsidiaries  will maintain at all times Total  Unencumbered  Assets of not less
than 200% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of
the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

guaranteed or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor
or  guarantor)  having an aggregate  principal  amount  outstanding  of at least
$20,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be incurred
or created,  which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness  becoming or
being  declared  due and payable  prior to the date on which it would  otherwise
have become due and payable,  without such indebtedness  having been discharged,
or such acceleration  having been rescinded or annulled,  within a period of ten
days after there shall have been given,  by registered or certified mail, to the
Company by the  Trustee or to the  Company  and the Trustee by the Holders of at
least  25% in  principal  amount of the  outstanding  Notes,  a  written  notice
specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such  indebtedness to
be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder.

Indenture,  upon  any  acceleration  of  the  Notes  under  Section  502  of the
Indenture,  the amount immediately due and payable in respect of the Notes shall
equal the Outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest,  plus the
Make-Whole Amount.

             [THE FOLLOWING CONSTITUTES THE REVERSE OF THE SECURITY]

                              HRPT PROPERTIES TRUST

                           8.625% Senior Note due 2010

         Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated.

         1. Interest.  HRPT Properties  Trust, a Maryland real estate investment
trust (the "Company"),  promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Note at the rate and in the manner specified below.

         The Company shall pay in cash interest on the principal  amount of this
Note  at  the  rate  per  annum  of  8.625%.   The  Company  will  pay  interest
semi-annually  in arrears on each April 1 and October 1,  commencing on April 1,
2001,  or, if any such day is not a Business Day (as defined in the  Indenture),
on the next  succeeding  Business  Day (each an  "Interest  Payment  Date"),  to
Holders of record on the day falling 14 calendar days immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day).

         Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year  consisting of
twelve 30-day  months.  Interest shall accrue from the most recent date to which
interest  has been paid or, if no interest  has been paid,  from  September  29,
2000.

         2.  Method of  Payment.  The  Company  will pay  interest  on the Notes
(except defaulted  interest) to the Persons who are registered  Holders of Notes
at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest  Payment
Date,  even if such Notes are  canceled  after such record date and on or before
such Interest Payment Date. The Company will pay principal and interest in money
of the United  States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. The Company,  however, may pay principal,  premium, if
any, and interest by check payable in such money.  It may mail an interest check
to a Holder's registered address.

         3. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as
of July 9,  1997,  and a  Supplemental  Indenture  No.  9  thereto,  dated as of
September 29, 2000 (collectively, the "Indenture"),  between the Company and the
Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in
effect on the date of the  Indenture.  The Notes are  subject to all such terms,
and  Holders  of the  Notes are  referred  to the  Indenture  and such Act for a
statement  of  such  terms.   The  terms  of  the  Indenture  shall  govern  any
inconsistencies  between the  Indenture  and the Notes.  The Notes are unsecured
general obligations of the Company limited to $20,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

         4. Optional Redemption.  The Notes will be subject to redemption at any
time at the option of the  Company,  in whole or in part,  upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the
principal  amount of the Notes being redeemed,  plus accrued and unpaid interest
to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount.

                                      A-2
<PAGE>

         As used herein the term  "Make-Whole  Amount" means, in connection with
any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Notes, the excess, if any,
of (i)  the  aggregate  present  value  as of the  date of  such  redemption  or
accelerated  payment of each dollar of principal  being redeemed or paid and the
amount of interest  (exclusive of interest  accrued to the date of redemption or
accelerated  payment)  that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if
such  redemption  or  accelerated  payment  had not  been  made,  determined  by
discounting,  on  a  semiannual  basis,  such  principal  and  interest  at  the
Reinvestment  Rate (as defined  herein)  (determined  on the third  Business Day
preceding  the date  such  notice  of  redemption  is given  or  declaration  of
acceleration  is made) from the  respective  dates on which such  principal  and
interest would have been payable if such  redemption or accelerated  payment had
not been  made,  over (ii) the  aggregate  principal  amount of the Notes  being
redeemed or paid.

         As used  herein  the term  "Reinvestment  Rate"  means a rate per annum
equal to the sum of 0.50% (fifty  one-hundredths  of one percent) plus the yield
on treasury  securities  at constant  maturity  under the heading  "Week Ending"
published  in the  Statistical  Release  (as defined  herein)  under the caption
"Treasury  Constant  Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding  to the remaining life to maturity,  as of the payment date of the
principal  being  redeemed or paid. If no maturity  exactly  corresponds to such
maturity,  yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a  straight-line  basis,  rounding  in each of such  relevant  periods to the
nearest  month.  For purposes of  calculating  the  Reinvestment  Rate, the most
recent  Statistical  Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

         As used herein the term  "Statistical  Release"  means the  statistical
release designated  "H.15(519)" or any successor  publication which is published
weekly by the Federal  Reserve System and which  establishes  yields on actively
traded United States government  securities  adjusted to constant maturities or,
if such  statistical  release is not published at the time of any  determination
under the Supplemental Indenture,  then any publicly available source of similar
market data which shall be designated by the Company.

         5.  Mandatory  Redemption.  The  Company  shall not be required to make
sinking fund or redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

         6. Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the  Redemption  Date to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed at its  registered  address.  Notes may be redeemed in part
but only in whole multiples of $1,000,  unless all of the Notes held by a Holder
are to be redeemed.  On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue
on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

         7. Denominations,  Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations  of $1,000 and integral  multiples of $1,000 in
excess  thereof.  The  transfer  of Notes  may be  registered  and  Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Security  Registrar and the Trustee
may require a Holder,  among other things, to furnish  appropriate  endorsements
and  transfer  documents  and to pay  any  taxes  and  fees  required  by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Security Registrar need not exchange or register
the transfer

                                      A-3
<PAGE>

of any Note or portion of a Note  selected  for  redemption.  Also,  it need not
exchange  or register  the  transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before
the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes,  or during the period  between a
record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

         8.  Defaults and  Remedies.  In case an Event of Default (as defined in
the Indenture)  with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing,
the principal hereof may be declared,  and upon such  declaration  shall become,
due and payable,  in the manner,  with the effect and subject to the  provisions
provided in the Indenture.

         9. Actions of Holders. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the
holders of not less than a majority  of the  aggregate  principal  amount of the
outstanding  Notes,  subject to certain exceptions as provided in the Indenture,
on behalf of the holders of all such Notes at a meeting  duly called and held as
provided  in  the  Indenture,  to  make,  give  or  take  any  request,  demand,
authorization,  direction,  notice,  consent, waiver or other action provided in
the Indenture to be made, given or taken by the holders of the Notes,  including
without  limitation,   waiving  (a)  compliance  by  the  Company  with  certain
provisions of the  Indenture,  and (b) certain past defaults under the Indenture
and their  consequences.  Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting
of the holders of the Notes in accordance  with the  provisions of the Indenture
shall be conclusive and binding upon such holders and upon all future holders of
this Note and other Notes issued upon the  registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange heretofore or in lieu hereof

         10. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company,  the Trustee,  and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note
is registered on the Security Register as its absolute owner for all purposes.

         11. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by
the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

         12.   Governing   Law.  THE  INTERNAL  LAW  OF  THE   COMMONWEALTH   OF
MASSACHUSETTS SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES.

         13. No Personal  Liability.  THE AMENDED AND  RESTATED  DECLARATION  OF
TRUST OF THE  COMPANY,  DATED JULY 1, 1994, A COPY OF WHICH,  TOGETHER  WITH ALL
AMENDMENTS  THERETO  (THE  "DECLARATION"),  IS DULY  FILED IN THE  OFFICE OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS  AND TAXATION OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND,  PROVIDES THAT
THE NAME "HRPT  PROPERTIES  TRUST" REFERS TO THE TRUSTEES UNDER THE  DECLARATION
COLLECTIVELY  AS  TRUSTEES,  BUT NOT  INDIVIDUALLY  OR  PERSONALLY,  AND THAT NO
TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE COMPANY SHALL BE HELD TO
ANY PERSONAL  LIABILITY,  JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY,  FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM
AGAINST,  THE COMPANY.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH THE COMPANY,  IN ANY WAY, SHALL
LOOK  ONLY  TO THE  ASSETS  OF THE  COMPANY  FOR THE  PAYMENT  OF ANY SUM OR THE
PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.

right of setoff,  or  otherwise) on account of any interest in the Note owned by
it in excess of its ratable  share of payments on account of any interest in the

Recipient  shall  forthwith  purchase from the Company and/or the Bank Investors
entitled to a share of such amount  participations  in the percentage  interests
owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the
excess payment ratably with each such other Person entitled  thereto;  provided,
however,  that  if all or any  portion  of such  excess  payment  is  thereafter
recovered from such  Recipient,  such purchase from each such other Person shall
be  rescinded  and each such  other  Person  shall  repay to the  Recipient  the
purchase  price paid by such Recipient for such  participation  to the extent of
such  recovery,  together  with an amount equal to such other  Person's  ratable
share  (according  to the  proportion  of (a) the amount of such other  Person's
required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any
interest  or other  amount  paid or payable by the  Recipient  in respect of the

Liquidity  Provider  Agreement or the Credit Support Agreement to the Issuer and
each Other Transferor;  and provided,  further, that if such Indemnified Amounts

requirement  imposed by the Board of  Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System)

Investment or the Collateral;

                  (3)  imposes  upon any  Indemnified  Party any  other  expense

the Liquidity Provider Agreement or the Credit Support Agreement or otherwise in
respect of this Agreement, the Note, the Net Investment or the Collateral;

and  the  result  of any of the  foregoing  is to  increase  the  cost  to  such
Indemnified Party with respect to this Agreement,  the Security  Agreement,  the
Note, the Net Investment, the Collateral, the obligations hereunder, the funding
of any  purchases  hereunder,  the  Liquidity  Provider  Agreement or the Credit
Support  Agreement,  by an amount reasonably deemed by such Indemnified Party to
be material, then within 10 days after demand by the Agent, the Issuer shall pay
to the  Agent  such  additional  amount  or  amounts  as  will  compensate  such
Indemnified  Party for such increased cost provided that no such amount shall be
payable  with  respect to any period  commencing  more than 90 days prior to the
date the Agent first notifies the Issuer of its intention to demand compensation
therefor under this Section 4.2(a).

                  (b) If any Indemnified  Party shall have determined that after
the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law or bank regulatory guideline
regarding  capital  adequacy,  or  any  change  therein,  or any  change  in the
interpretation  thereof by any Official Body, or any directive regarding capital
adequacy (in the case of any bank  regulatory  guideline,  whether or not having
the force of law) of any such  Official  Body,  has or would  have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Indemnified Party (or its parent)
as a  consequence  of such  Indemnified  Party's  obligations  hereunder or with
respect  hereto to a level  below  that  which  such  Indemnified  Party (or its
parent) could have achieved but for such adoption,  change, request or directive
(taking into  consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount  reasonably  deemed by such Indemnified  Party to be material,  then from
time to time,  within 10 days after demand by the Agent, the Issuer shall pay to
the Agent such additional  amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified
Party (or its parent) for such reduction;  provided that no such amount shall be
payable with respect to any period  commencing  less than 30 days after the date
the Agent first  notifies the Issuer of its  intention to demand  compensa  tion
under this Section 4.2(b).

                  (c) The Agent or the Company will  promptly  notify the Issuer
of any event of which it has knowledge,  occurring after the date hereof,  which
will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation  pursuant to this Section 4.2.
A notice by the Agent claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth
the additional  amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive
in the

                                                 18

absence of manifest  error.  In determining  such amount,  the Agent may use any
reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

standing, if the Company enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests
in receivables  from one or more Other  Transferors,  the Company shall allocate
the  liability  for any amounts  under this  Section 4.2  ("Section  4.2 Costs")
ratably to the Issuer and each Other Transferor; provided, however, that if such
Section 4.2 Costs are  attributable  to the Issuer and not  attributable  to any
Other  Transferor,  the Issuer shall be solely liable for such Section 4.2 Costs
or if such  Section  4.2 Costs are  attributable  to Other  Transferors  and not
attributable to the Issuer,  such Other  Transferors  shall be solely liable for
such Section 4.2 Costs.

                  SECTION 4.3. Other Costs,  Expenses and Related  Matters.  The
Issuer agrees,  upon receipt of a written  invoice,  to pay or cause to be paid,
and to save the Company, the Bank Investors, the Collateral Agent, the Agent and
the  Administrative  Agent  harmless  against  liability for the payment of, all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable

acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Majority  Investors;
provided,  however,  that the Agent  shall not be  required  to take any  action

Agent,  shall be in violation  of any  applicable  law,  rule or  regulation  or
contrary  to any  provision  of this  Agreement  or shall  expose  the  Agent to
liability hereunder or otherwise. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Termination Event or Potential  Termination Event the Agent shall take no
action  hereunder  (other  than  ministerial  actions  or  such  actions  as are
specifically  provided  for herein)  without the prior  consent of the  Majority
Investors.  "Majority  Investors"  shall mean, at any time,  the Agent and those
Bank  Investors  which  hold  Commitments  aggregating  in  excess of 50% of the
Facility Limit as of such date. In the event the Agent requests the Company's or
a Bank  Investor's  consent  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions and the Agent
does not receive a consent  (either  positive or  negative)  from the Company or
such Bank Investor within 10 Business Days of the Company's or Bank Investor's

                                                 20

<PAGE>

receipt  of such  request,  then the  Company  or such  Bank  Investor  (and its
percentage  interest  hereunder) shall be disregarded in determining whether the
Agent shall have obtained sufficient consent hereunder.

                  (b) The Agent shall  exercise such rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement and the Security Agreement, and use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

                  SECTION 5.2. Agent's Reliance,  Etc. Neither the Agent nor any
of its directors,  officers,  agents or employees shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent under or in connection  with
this Agree  ment or the  Security  Agreement,  except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent: (i)
may  consult  with  legal  counsel  (including  counsel  for the Issuer or UAC),
independent  public accoun tants and other experts  selected by it and shall not
be liable  for any  action  taken or  omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel,  accountants or experts;  (ii) makes
no warranty or  representation to the Company or any Bank Investor and shall not
be  responsible  to the  Company  or  any  Bank  Investor  for  any  statements,
warranties  or  representations  made in or in connection  with this  Agreement;
(iii) shall not have any duty to  ascertain or to inquire as to the perfor mance
or observance of any of the terms,  covenants or conditions of this Agreement or
of the  Security  Agreement  on the part of the Issuer or UAC or to inspect  the
property  (including the books and records) of the Issuer or UAC; (iv) shall not
be  responsible  to the  Company  or any Bank  Investor  for the due  execution,
legality, validity,  enforceability,  genuineness,  sufficiency or value of this
Agreement,  the Security Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect
of this Agreement,  the Security  Agreement by acting upon any notice (including
notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which
may be by telex)  believed  by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties.

                  SECTION  5.3.  Credit  Decision.  The  Company  and each  Bank
Investor  acknowledges that it has,  independently and without reliance upon the
Agent, any of the Agent's Affiliates, any other Bank Investor or the Company (in
the case of any Bank Investor) and based upon such documents and  information as
it has deemed  appropriate,  made its own  evaluation and decision to enter into
this  Agree  ment to which it is a party  and,  if so  required,  to  acquire an
interest in the Note. The Company and each Bank Investor also  acknowledges that
it will, independently and

                                                 21

<PAGE>

without reliance upon the Agent, any of the Agent's  Affiliates,  any other Bank
Investor  or the Company  (in the case of any Bank  Investor)  and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,  continue to
make its own decisions in taking or not taking  action under this  Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

                  SECTION 5.4.  Indemnification of the Agent. The Bank Investors
agree to  indemnify  the Agent (to the extent  not  reimbursed  by the  Issuer),
ratably in accordance  with their Pro Rata Shares,  from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs,  expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature  whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or
arising  out of this  Agree  ment or any  action  taken or omitted by the Agent,
provided  that the Bank  Investors  shall not be liable for any  portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements  resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or
willful  misconduct.  Without  limitation of the  foregoing,  the Bank Investors
agree to reimburse the Agent,  ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares,
promptly upon demand for any  out-of-pocket  expenses  (including  counsel fees)
incurred  by the  Agent in  connection  with the  administration,  modification,
amendment or enforcement  (whether through  negotiations,  legal  proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or  responsibilities  under,
this  Agreement,  to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests
of or otherwise in respect of the Bank Investors hereunder and/or thereunder and
to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Issuer.

                  SECTION 5.5. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time
by giving  written  notice  thereof to each Bank  Investor,  the Company and the
Issuer and may be removed at any time with cause by the Majority Investors. Upon
any such  resignation or removal,  the Company and the Majority  Investors shall
appoint a successor  Agent.  The Company and each Bank  Investor  agrees that it
shall not  unreasonably  withhold or delay its approval of the  appointment of a
successor  Agent. If no such successor  Agent shall have been so appointed,  and
shall have accepted such appointment,  within 30 days after the retiring Agent's
giving  of notice of  resignation  or the  Majority  Investors'  removal  of the
retiring  Agent,  then the retiring  Agent may, on behalf of the Company and the
Bank Investors,  appoint a successor Agent which successor Agent shall be either
(i) a commercial  bank  organized  under the laws of the United States or of any
state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or
(ii) an Affiliate  of such a bank.  Upon the accep tance of any  appointment  as
Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor

                                                 22

<PAGE>

Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,  powers,
privileges  and duties of the retiring  Agent,  and the retiring  Agent shall be
discharged  from its duties and  obligations  under  this  Agreement.  After any
retiring  Agent's  resignation or removal  hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Article V shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

                  SECTION  5.6.  Payments  by  the  Agent.  Unless  specifically
allocated  to a Bank  Investor  pursuant  to the  terms of this  Agreement,  all
amounts  received by the Agent on behalf of the Bank Investors  shall be paid by
the Agent to the Bank Investors (at their respective accounts specified in their
respective  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreements)  in  accordance  with their
respective  related pro rata interests in the Net Investment on the Business Day
received by the Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such
Business  Day, in which case the Agent shall use its  reasonable  efforts to pay
such amounts to the Bank  Investors  on such  Business  Day,  but, in any event,
shall pay such amounts to the Bank Investors in accordance with their respective
related pro rata  interests in the Net  Investment  not later than the following
Business Day.

                  SECTION 5.7.  Bank Commitment; Assignment to Bank Investors.

                           (a)  Bank Commitment.  At any time on or prior to the
Commitment  Termination Date, in the event that the Bank Investors elect to make
a Prefunding  Deposit as requested  under  Section  2.1,  then at any time,  the
Issuer shall be  considered  to have directed the Company to assign its interest
in the Note in whole to the Bank  Investors  pursuant to this  Section  5.7, the
Bank Investors agree to accept such assignment,  and the Issuer hereby agrees to
pay the amounts  described in Section 5.7(d) below. In addition,  at any time on
or prior to the Commitment Termination Date upon the occurrence of a Termination
Event or the  Termination  Date, the Issuer hereby requests and directs that the
Company assign its interest in the Note in whole to the Bank Investors  pursuant
to this Section 5.7 and the Issuer hereby agrees to pay the amounts described in
Section 5.7(d) below.  Upon any such election by the Company or any such request
by the Issuer,  the Company shall make such  assignment  and the Bank  Investors
shall accept such  assignment and shall assume all of the Company's  obligations
hereunder.  In  connection  with any  assign  ment from the  Company to the Bank
Investors pursuant to this Section 5.7, each Bank Investor shall, on the date of
such assignment, pay to the Company an amount equal to its Assignment Amount. In
addition, at any time on or prior to the Commit ment Termination Date the Issuer
shall have the right to request funding under this

                                                 23

<PAGE>

Agreement and the Security  Agreement  directly from the Bank Investors provided
that at such time all conditions  precedent set forth herein and in the Security
Agree ment for a Prefunding Deposit shall be satisfied and provided further that
in connec  tion with such  funding  by the Bank  Investors,  the Bank  Investors
accept  the  assign  ment of the Note from the  Company  and  assume  all of the
Company's  obligations  hereunder   concurrently  with  or  prior  to  any  such
Prefunding  Deposit.  Upon any  assignment by the Company to the Bank  Investors
contemplated hereunder,  the Company shall cease to make any further advances to
the Issuer  hereunder.  No  documentation  or action shall be required to effect
such  assignment of the Note by the Company to the Bank Investors other than the
giving of written notice by the Issuer of such direction to the Insurer,  to the
Administrative  Agent on behalf of the Company and to the Agent on behalf of the
Bank  Investors,  and by the  delivery  of a copy of such notice by the Agent to
each Bank Investor.

                  (b)  Assignment.  No Bank Investor may assign all or a portion
of its  interest  in the Note and its rights and  obligations  hereunder  to any
Person unless approved in writing by the Agent and the Issuer. In the case of an
assignment by a Bank Investor to another  Person,  the assignor shall deliver to
the assignee(s) an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, duly executed, assigning
to the assignee a pro rata  interest in the Note and the  assignor's  rights and
obligations  hereunder and the assignor shall  promptly  execute and deliver all
further  instruments  and docu  ments,  and take all  further  action,  that the
assignee may reasonably request, in order to protect, or more fully evidence the
assignee's  right,  title and interest in and to such interest and to enable the
Agent, on behalf of such assignee,  to exercise or enforce any rights  hereunder
and under the other documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to
such assignment,  was a party. Upon any such assignment,  (i) the assignee shall
have all of the rights and  obligations of the assignor  hereunder and under the
other  documents  to  which  such  assignor  is or,  immediately  prior  to such
assignment,  was a party with respect to such  interest for all purposes of this
Agree  ment and  under  the  other  documents  to  which  such  assignor  is or,
immediately  prior to such  assignment,  was a party and (ii) the assignor shall
relinquish  its rights with  respect to such  interest  for all purposes of this
Agreement  and  under  the  other  documents  to  which  such  assignor  is  or,
immediately  prior to such assignment,  was a party. No such assignment shall be
effective unless a fully executed copy of the related  Assignment and Assumption
Agreement shall be delivered to the Agent and the Issuer.  All reasonable  costs
and  expenses  of the Agent and the  assignor  incurred in  connection  with any
assignment hereunder shall be borne by the Issuer and not by the assignor or any
such assignee. No Bank Investor shall assign any portion of its

                                                 24

<PAGE>

Commitment  hereunder without also simultaneously  assigning an equal portion of
its interest in the Liquidity Provider Agreement.

                  (c) Effects of  Assignment.  By executing  and  delivering  an
Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement,  the assignor  and  assignee  thereunder
confirm to and agree with each other and the other  parties  hereto as  follows:
(i) other than as provided in such  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement,  the
assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility  with
respect  to  any  statements,  warranties  or  representations  made  in  or  in
connection with this Agreement,  the other documents or any other  instrument or
document  furnished  pursuant  hereto or  thereto  or the  execution,  legality,
validity, enforceability,  genuine ness, sufficiency or value or this Agreement,
the other documents or any such other instrument or document;  (ii) the assignor
makes no representation  or warranty and assumes no responsibility  with respect
to the financial condition of the Issuer or UAC or the performance or observance
by the Issuer or UAC of any of its obliga tions under this  Agreement,  the Sale
and Purchase  Agreement,  the  Security  Agree ment or any other  instrument  or
document  furnished  pursuant hereto;  (iii) such assignee  confirms that it has
received  a copy of this  Agreement,  the  Security  Agree  ment,  the  Sale and
Purchase Agreement and such other  instruments,  documents and information as it
has deemed  appropriate  to make its own credit  analysis  and decision to enter
into such  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement and to purchase such interest;
(iv) such assignee will,  independently  and without reliance upon the Agent, or
any of its Affiliates,  or the assignor and based on such agreements,  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 docu ments;  (v) such assignee  appoints and  authorizes the Agent to take
such  action as agent on its  behalf  and to  exercise  such  powers  under this
Agreement,  the other documents and any other  instrument or document  furnished
pursuant  hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof,  together with such powers as are reasonably  incidental thereto and to
enforce its  respective  rights and interests in and under this  Agreement,  the
Security  Agreement and the other  documents;  (vi) such assignee agrees that it
will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations  which by the
terms of this Agreement and the other  documents are required to be performed by
it as the assignee of the assignor;  and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will
not  institute  against the  Company any proceed ing of the type  referred to in
Section 6.6 prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in
full of all Commercial Paper issued by the Company or the Conduit  Assignee,  as
applicable.

                                                 25

<PAGE>

                  (d) Issuer's  Obligation  to Pay Certain  Amounts;  Additional
Assignment  Amount.  The Issuer  shall pay to the Agent,  for the account of the
Company,  in connection with any assignment by the Company to the Bank Investors
pursuant to this Section 5.7, an aggregate amount equal to all Carrying Costs to
accrue with  respect to  obligations  already  entered  into by the Company as a
result of or in connection with this Agreement. To the extent that such Carrying
Costs  relate to  interest or discount  on  Commercial  Paper  issued to fund or
refinance  the Net  Investment,  if the  Issuer  fails to make  payment  of such
amounts  at or  prior  to the  time of  assignment  by the  Company  to the Bank
Investors,  such amount shall be paid by the Bank Investors (in accordance  with
their respective Pro Rata Shares) to the Company as additional consideration for
the  interests  assigned  to the  Bank  Investors  and  the  amount  of the  Net
Investment  hereunder held by the Bank Investors shall be increased by an amount
equal to the additional amount so paid by the Bank Inves tors.

                  (e)  Administration of Agreement After  Assignment.  After any
assignment  by the Company to the Bank  Investors  pursuant to this  Section 5.7
(and the payment of all amounts owing to the Company in  connection  therewith),
all rights of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent set forth herein
shall be deemed  to be  afforded  to the  Agent on behalf of the Bank  Investors
instead of either such party.

                  (f) Payments.  After any assignment by the Company to the Bank
Investors pursuant to this Section 5.7, all payments to be made hereunder by the
Issuer  or the  Collection  Agent  to the  Bank  Investors  shall be made to the
Agent's  account as such account shall have been notified to the Issuer.  In the
event that the sum of the  Assignment  Amount paid by the Bank Investors and the
amounts paid to the Company  pursuant to Section 5.7(d) in connection  with such
assignment  is less  than  the  sum of the  Net  Investment  plus  the  Interest
Component  of all  outstanding  Related  Commercial  Paper,  then to the  extent
payments made hereunder in respect of the Net  Investment  exceed the Assignment
Amount, such excess shall be remitted by the Agent to the Company.

                  (g)  Downgrade of Bank  Investor.  If at any time prior to any
assignment by the Company to the Bank Investors as contemplated pursuant to this
Section 5.7, the short term debt rating of any Bank  Investor  shall be "A-2" or
"P-2" with negative credit implications from S&P or Moody's, respectively,  such
Bank Investor, upon request of the Agent, shall, within 30 days of such request,
assign its rights and  obligations  hereunder to another  financial  institution
(which institution's

                                                 26

<PAGE>

short  term debt shall be rated at least  "A-2" and "P-2" from S&P and  Moody's,
respectively,   and  which   shall  not  be  so  rated  with   negative   credit
implications).  If the short term debt rating of a Bank Investor  shall be "A-3"
or "P-3", or lower, from S&P or Moody's, respectively (or such rating shall have
been  withdrawn by S&P's or Moody's),  such Bank  Investor,  upon request of the
Agent, shall,  within five (5) Business Days of such request,  assign its rights
and obligations  hereunder to another financial institution (which institution's
short  term debt shall be rated at least  "A-2" and "P-2" from S&P and  Moody's,
respectively,   and  which   shall  not  be  so  rated  with   negative   credit
implications).  In either such case,  if any such Bank  Investor  shall not have
assigned its rights and obligations  under this Agreement  within the applicable
time period  described  above,  the Company shall have the right to require such
Bank  Investor  to advance to the Agent an amount  equal to its  Commitment  for
deposit by the Agent into an account,  in the name of the Agent,  which shall be
in  satisfaction  of such Bank  Investor's  obligations  to make Fundings and to
accept an assignment  from the Company in accordance with Section 5.7(a) hereof.
The amount on deposit in such account shall be invested by the Agent in Eligible
Investments and such Eligible  Investments  shall have a term of no more than 30
days,  at the  Agent's  sole  discretion.  The  Agent  shall  remit to such Bank
Investor,  monthly,  the income thereon.  Nothing in the two preceding sentences
shall  affect  or  diminish  in any  way any  such  downgraded  Bank  Investor's
Commitment to the Issuer or such downgraded Bank  Investor's  other  obligations
and liabilities hereunder and under the other documents.

successors and assigns including the Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that
the Issuer shall not assign any of its rights or obligations  hereunder  without

respective  interests,  (vi) the  definition of the term  "Carrying  Costs" with
respect to the portion of the Net Investment funded with

commercial  paper  issued by the  Conduit  Assignee  from time to time  shall be
determined  on  the  basis  of the  interest  rate  or  discount  applicable  to
commercial  paper issued by such  Conduit  Assignee  (rather than the  Company),
(vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the
other  Transaction  Documents  shall  be  interpreted  in  accordance  with  the

agent with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver
such further  agreements  and documents and take such other actions as the Agent
or such agent or  administrative  agent may  reasonably  request to evidence and
give effect to the foregoing. No Assignment by the Company to a Conduit Assignee
of all or any  portion  of the Net  Investment  shall  in any way  diminish  the
related Bank  Investors'  obligation  under  Section  2.1(a) to fund the Initial
Funding if not funded by the Company or such Conduit  Assignee or under  Section
5.7(a) to acquire from the Company or such  Conduit  Assignee all or any portion

                  SECTION 6.3. Severability Clause. Any provisions of this Agree
ment which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction,   be   ineffective   to  the   extent  of  such   prohibition   or
unenforceability  without  invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  SECTION 6.4.  Amendments.  (a) No failure or delay on the part
of the Agent, the Company and the Bank Investors in exercising any power,  right
or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof,  nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other
further  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other power,  right or remedy.
The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and  nonexclusive of
any rights or remedies provided by law.

                  (b) Any  provision of this  Agreement may be amended or waived
if, but only if, such  amendment is in writing and is signed by the Issuer,  the
Company, the Insurer and the Majority Investors (and, if Article V or the rights
or duties of the Agent are affected thereby,  by the Agent);  provided,  that no
such  amendment or waiver shall,  unless  signed by each Bank Investor  directly
affected  thereby,  (i) increase the Commitment of a Bank Investor,  (ii) reduce
the Net  Investment  or rate of interest to accrue  thereon or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder,  (iii) postpone any date fixed for the payment of any
scheduled distribution in respect of the Net Investment or interest with respect
thereto or any fees or other amounts

                                                 30

payable  hereunder  or  for  termination  of any  Commitment,  (iv)  change  the
percentage of the  Commitments or the number of Bank  Investors,  which shall be
required  for the Bank  Investors  or any of them to take any action  under this
Section  or any other  provision  of this  Agreement,  (v)  extend or permit the
extension of the Commitment  Termination Date, (vi) reduce or impair Collections
or the payment of fees  payable  hereunder  to the Bank  Investors  or delay the
scheduled dates for payment of such amounts, (vii) increase the Servicing Fee to
a percentage greater than 1.0% per annum of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of
the  Receivables as of the first day of the related  Settlement  Period,  (viii)
modify any  provisions  of this  Agreement  or the Sale and  Purchase  Agreement
relating to the timing of  payments  required to be made by the Issuer or UAC or
the  application  of the  proceeds  of such  payments,  or (ix)  provide for the
appointment  of any  Person  (other  than the Agent) as a  successor  Collection
Agent.  In the event the Agent  requests  the  Company's  or a Bank Inves  tor's
consent  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions  and the Agent does not receive a
consent  (either  positive or negative)  from the Company or such Bank  Investor
within 10 Business  Days of the  Company's  or Bank  Investor's  receipt of such
request,  then the Company or such Bank  Investor (and its  percentage  interest
hereunder)  shall be  disregarded  in  determining  whether the Agent shall have
obtained sufficient consent hereunder.

                  SECTION 6.5.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

                  SECTION 6.6. No Bankruptcy  Petition Against the Company.  The

Collec tion Agent appointed  pursuant to the Security  Agreement to covenant and
agree that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in
full of all  Commercial  Paper issued by the Company (or, if the Net  Investment
(or any portion thereof) has been assigned to a Conduit  Assignee,  one year and
one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit
Assignee),  it  will  not  institute  against,  or  join  any  other  Person  in
instituting  against,  the  Company,  the  Issuer or any  Conduit  Assignee  any
bankruptcy, reorganization,  arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings,
or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

                  SECTION  6.7.  Setoff.   The  Issuer  hereby  irrevocably  and
unconditionally  waives  all right of  setoff  that it may have  under  contract
(including this

                                                 31

Agreement),  applicable  law or otherwise with respect to any funds or monies of
the Company at any time held by or in the possession of the Company.

this  Agreement,  it is  understood  and agreed that  neither the Issuer nor UAC

the Issuer from any  liability  hereunder or under the Security  Agreement  with
respect to its  representations,  warranties,  covenants  and other  payment and
performance obliga tions herein or therein described.
