                         HOLDBACK AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

         THIS HOLDBACK AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into
as of this 15th day of June,  2001,  by and among  (i)  Marriott  International,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Marriott"), (ii) St. Louis Airport Hotel, L.L.C.,
a Delaware  limited  liability  company,  , Nashville  Airport  Hotel,  L.L.C. a
Delaware limited liability company,  Residence Inn By Marriott, Inc., a Delaware
corporation,   Courtyard  Management   Corporation,   a  Delaware   corporation,
SpringHill SMC  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation and TownePlace  Management
Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation  (each, a "Seller" and  collectively,  the
"Sellers"),  (iii) Marriott Hotel Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MHSI"
and together with certain of the Sellers,  collectively,  the "Managers"),  (iv)
CR14 Tenant  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation  ("CR14")  and CRTM17  Tenant
Corporation,  a Delaware corporation ("CRTM17") (CR14 and CRTM17,  collectively,
the "Old Tenants"),  (v) HPT TRS MI-135,  INC., a Delaware corporation (the "New
Tenant"),  and (vi) HPTMI  Properties  Trust, a Maryland real estate  investment
trust ("HPTMI") and HPTMI Hawaii,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation ("Kauai Owner")
(HPTMI and Kauai Owner, collectively, the "Landlords").

                                    RECITALS:

         A. HPTMI,  as  landlord,  and CRTM17,  as tenant,  are parties to those
seventeen (17) certain leases set forth on Exhibit A-1 attached  hereto (the "T3
Existing Leases"), with respect to the properties referenced therein.

         B.  HPTMI,  as  landlord,  and CR14,  as tenant,  are  parties to those
fourteen (14) certain  leases set forth on Exhibit A-2 attached  hereto (the "T1
Existing Leases"),  with respect to the properties  referenced therein.  (The T3
Existing Leases and the T1 Existing Leases,  as each have been amended as of the
date hereof, are referred to, collectively, as the "Existing Leases.")

         C.  Pursuant to the terms of the  Existing  Leases,  the  Sellers  have
deposited the total sum of Thirty Six Million Two Hundred Three  Thousand  Three
Hundred One Dollars ($36,203,301.00), as the same may be drawn down from time to
time pursuant to this Agreement,  and replenished  from time to time pursuant to
the Pooling Agreement and the Management Agreements (the "Holdback") with HPTMI,
as security for the  obligations  of the Old Tenants under the Existing  Leases.
The Old Tenants and the Sellers are each wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Marriott,
and pursuant to this  Agreement,  are  assigning to Marriott all of their right,
title and interest in the Holdback.

         D. Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement to Assign, Release,  Franchise
and Manage (the "Agreement to Lease"), the Old Tenants have agreed to assign the
Old Leases to the New  Tenant,  and the New  Tenant  has  agreed to accept  such
assignment  and assume the  obligations  of the Old Tenants  thereunder,  on the
terms and  conditions  and at the times set forth in the Agreement to Lease.  At
the time that each such  Existing  Lease
<PAGE>

is assigned  from the  applicable  Old Tenant to the New Tenant,  such  Existing
Lease shall be amended by HPTMI and the New Tenant  pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement to Lease, and such Existing Lease, as so amended,  and as the same may
be further amended from time to time, shall  thereafter no longer  constitute an
Existing Lease but such lease shall thereafter constitute a "Converted Lease".

         E. Pursuant to the Agreement to Lease,  the Landlords  have also agreed
to lease four (4) other  properties (the "New Portfolio  Properties") to the New
Tenant,  and the New  Tenant  has  agreed  to  lease  each of the New  Portfolio
Properties from the Landlords,  on the terms and conditions and at the times set
forth in the  Agreement to Lease.  The New Portfolio  Properties  will be leased
from  the  Landlords  to the  New  Tenant  pursuant  to  leases  which  will  be
substantially  similar in form (but not economic terms) to the Converted  Leases
(the "New Portfolio Property Leases"). The properties which are subjected to the
Converted  Leases  and the New  Portfolio  Property  Leases  shall  collectively
constitute the "Portfolio Properties."

         F.  Marriott  has  agreed  that  the  Holdback  shall  secure  (i)  the
obligations  of the Old Tenants  under the Existing  Leases and the Agreement to
Lease, and (ii) the obligations of the Managers under the Management Agreements,
in each instance subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         G. Nashville  Airport Hotel,  L.L.C. is a party to this instrument as a
Seller despite all of the ownership interests therein having been transferred to
HPTMI due to the  inadvertent  failure of the  parties to assign  such  entity's
right,  title and interest in and to a portion of such  Holdback to an Affiliate
of Marriott at the time of such transfer.

         H. Capitalized  terms used but not otherwise  defined in this Agreement
shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in that certain Pooling  Agreement
entered into of even date  herewith (the "Pooling  Agreement")  among  Marriott,
certain  Affiliates  of  Marriott  and New  Tenant,  and,  if such terms are not
defined in the Pooling Agreement, in the Management Agreements.

         NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the foregoing,  and for other good
and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. The  Sellers and the Old Tenants  hereby  assign to Marriott  all of
their right,  title and interest in and to the Holdback.  Marriott,  the Sellers
and the Old  Tenants  each  represent  and  warrant  that the  Holdback  has not
previously  been  assigned,  transferred  or  encumbered by any of them or their
Affiliates.

         2. The  Landlords  and the New Tenant  acknowledge  that as of the date
hereof they hereby transfer all of their respective right, title and interest in
the entire  amount of the Holdback to the New Tenant,  as  collateral  agent for
both of them, and that from and after the date hereof, the New Tenant shall hold
the Holdback pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  After all of the Existing
Leases have been  converted to  Converted

                                       2
<PAGE>

Leases  pursuant  to the  Agreement  to Lease,  the New  Tenant  shall  hold the
Holdback for itself, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

         3. The New Tenant hereby  assigns its right,  title and interest in and
to the Holdback to the  Landlords  as security for the New Tenant's  obligations
under the Converted Leases as the same exist from time to time.

         4. Marriott, the Managers, the Old Tenants, Landlord and the New Tenant
acknowledge  and  agree  that  the  Holdback  constitutes  security  for (i) the
faithful  observance  and  performance  by the Old  Tenants  of all  the  terms,
covenants and conditions of the Existing  Leases to be observed and performed by
the Old  Tenants,  and (ii)  the  faithful  observance  and  performance  by the
Managers of all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreements
to be observed and performed by the Managers, including, without limitation: (a)
the payment to New Tenant of Aggregate  Tenant's First Priority on the first day
of each  Portfolio  Accounting  Period,  and (b) the  payment  to New  Tenant of
Aggregate  Tenant's  Second  Priority  and  Aggregate  Tenant's  Third  Priority
pursuant  to  each  Management  Agreement,  in all of  the  foregoing  instances
described in (a) or (b),  regardless of the adequacy of Aggregate  Gross Revenue
or  Aggregate  Operating  Profit for any  Portfolio  Accounting  Period for such
period (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "Secured Obligations").  Without
limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing,  in lieu of  accruing  the Secured
Obligations pursuant to the Pooling Agreement,  the New Tenant shall be entitled
to offset the Secured  Obligations or any other damages in connection  therewith
against the  Holdback.  Marriott  hereby grants to Landlord and the New Tenant a
first priority security interest in the Holdback for such purpose. The Landlords
and the New Tenant  shall have the  option to elect,  in their sole  discretion,
whether to apply  funds from the  Holdback  with  respect to any of the  Secured
Obligations.

         5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) a
Management  Agreement is terminated  with respect to a Hotel in accordance  with
its terms  other  than in  connection  with a Manager  Default,  or (b) a Tenant
Deconsolidation  Event shall occur under the Pooling Agreement with respect to a
Hotel, the New Tenant shall return to Marriott the present value of a portion of
the Holdback,  which amount shall be obtained by multiplying the then balance of
the Holdback by a fraction,  the numerator of which is the annual Tenant's First
Priority for such Hotel,  and the  denominator of which is the annual  Aggregate
Tenant's   First   Priority   immediately   prior   to   such   termination   or
deconsolidation.  Subsequently,  Marriott shall be entitled to the present value
of amounts which are or were to be paid under such Hotel's Management  Agreement
to  replenish  the  Holdback,  and the  balance  of such  payments  shall be the
property of the New Tenant.  Such  present  values shall be  calculated  using a
discount  rate based on the interest rate  published in The Wall Street  Journal
for U.S. Treasury  Obligations having a maturity closest in time to the last day
of the then-current Term of the applicable Management Agreement (including,  for
this  purpose,  all exercised  Renewal  Terms) and shall assume a payment on the
last day of the Term (after giving effect to any exercised Renewal Term).

                                       3
<PAGE>

         6. Upon a Kauai Deconsolidation Event, a portion of the then balance of
the Holdback (the "Kauai  Holdback") equal to the amount obtained by multiplying
such balance by a fraction,  the numerator of which is the annual Tenant's First
Priority  with  respect to the Kauai Hotel and the  denominator  of which is the
annual  Aggregate  Tenant's  First  Priority  immediately  prior  to such  Kauai
Deconsolidation  Event,  shall  be  held as  security  solely  for  the  Secured
Obligations pertaining to the Kauai Hotel. Thereafter, amounts payable under the
Management  Agreement  for the Kauai Hotel to replenish  the  Holdback  shall be
added to the Kauai Holdback.  The parties,  at the request of any of them, shall
enter into such separate  holdback  agreements and amendments hereof as shall be
reasonably requested to give effect to and document the foregoing.

         7. Any  interest  earned on  account of the  Holdback  shall be for the
benefit of the New Tenant.  Hospitality Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate
investment  trust,  shall  guaranty  the  obligation  of the New  Tenant  or any
Affiliate  to return all or any portion of the  Holdback to Marriott as and when
due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         8. Notwithstanding  anything contained herein to the contrary,  none of
Landlord  and the New  Tenant  shall  appropriate  or apply any  portion  of the
Holdback until it shall have  exhausted any rights and remedies  available to it
pursuant to that certain Guaranty  Agreement from Marriott to the New Tenant and
that certain Limited Rent Guaranty Agreement from Marriott to Landlord,  both of
even date herewith.

         9. Any and all notices, demands, consents, approvals, offers, elections
and other  communications  required or permitted  under this Agreement  shall be
deemed  adequately given if in writing and the same shall be delivered either in
hand,  by  telecopier  with  written  acknowledgment  of receipt,  or by mail or
Federal  Express or  similar  expedited  commercial  carrier,  addressed  to the
recipient  of the notice,  postpaid  and  registered  or  certified  with return
receipt  requested  (if by mail),  or with all  freight  charges  prepaid (if by
Federal Express or similar carrier).

         All notices  required or permitted to be sent hereunder shall be deemed
to have  been  given  for  all  purposes  of this  Agreement  upon  the  date of
acknowledged  receipt, in the case of a notice by telecopier,  and, in all other
cases,  upon the date of receipt or  refusal,  except that  whenever  under this
Agreement a notice is either received on a day which is not a business day or is
required  to be  delivered  on or before a specific  day which is not a business
day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall  automatically be extended to

      SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of the 25th day

Guarantors who are or may become a party to this Agreement, (iii) the Lenders
who are or may become a party to this Agreement, (iv) BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.
("Bank of America"), as Administrative Agent for the Lenders, (v) FIRST UNION
NATIONAL BANK, as Syndication Agent and (vi) FLEET NATIONAL BANK, as
Documentation Agent.

                              STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

      Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March
31, 1999 (as amended and restated, the "Original Credit Agreement"), among

Agent and Fleet National Bank (successor by merger to BankBoston, N.A.), as
Documentation Agent, the Original Lenders extended certain credit facilities
to the Borrower.

      Pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement") dated as
of March 31, 1999 between the Borrower, the Guarantors and Bank of America,
N.A. (successor by merger to NationsBank, N.A.), as Lender (the "Bridge
Lender"), the Bridge Lender made certain loans (herein "the Bridge Loans") to
the Borrower.

      The Bridge Loan Agreement matured on March 31, 2001, and the Bridge

remedies under the Original Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan Agreement.

      The parties have agreed (x) to modify the Original Credit Agreement and
the Bridge Loan Agreement (i) to merge and consolidate the Bridge Loan
Agreement and the Original Credit Agreement and to amend and restate the
merged and consolidated Bridge Loan Agreement and Original Credit Agreement
into a single agreement, (ii) to provide that all Bridge Loans outstanding on
the Closing Date shall hereafter be deemed to constitute Loans under this
Agreement, (iii) to secure payment of the Loans, (iv) to evidence the
agreement of the Lenders to waive the existing Defaults and Events of Default
under the Original Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan Agreement; (v) to
provide for the repayment of the Loans from the proceeds of the sales of
certain assets of the Borrower and (vi) to permit the orderly

                                       3

liquidation of the Borrower, and (y) to provide for the dismissal without
prejudice of the State Court Litigation.

      SECTION 2.1   ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

      (a) ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. The Borrower hereby acknowledges,
confirms and agrees that as of the close of business on July 25, 2001 (i) the
Borrower is indebted to the Lenders in respect of Loans pursuant to the
Original Credit Agreement in the principal amount of $149,287,160.36 PLUS
accrued interest of $938,708.23, and (ii) the Borrower is indebted to the
Lenders in respect of Loans pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreement in the
aggregate principal amount of $2,025,986.08 PLUS accrued interest of
$12,739.62. All such Loans, together with interest accrued and accruing
thereon, are unconditionally owing by the Borrower to the Lenders without
offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description
whatsoever. Interest accrued through the date of this Agreement in the amount
of $951,447.85 shall be paid on the Closing Date. In addition, all fees,
costs, expenses and other charges set forth on SCHEDULE 2.1(a) are also
unconditionally owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders without off-set, defense and counterclaim of any kind, nature or
description whatsoever and shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.3(b). The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders represent and warrant that Schedule
2.1(a) lists all fees, costs and expenses (other than interest and principal
in

                                      15

<Page>

the amounts referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph) owed under
the Original Credit Agreement or the Bridge Loan Agreement that they have
knowledge of as of the date hereof unless otherwise indicated on SCHEDULE
2.1(a). Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the right to recover any expenses
incurred by third parties acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent or
Lenders prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the
enforcement by the Lenders of their rights and remedies under the Original
Credit Agreement or the Bridge Loan Agreement, nor shall anything herein be
deemed an acknowledgment by the Borrower that any such expenses not
identified on SCHEDULE 2.1(a) are unconditionally owing.

      (b)   NO NEW BORROWINGS.  No additional Loans shall be made and amounts
repaid may not be reborrowed.

      SECTION 2.2   REPAYMENT OF LOANS.

      (a) REPAYMENT ON TERMINATION DATE. The Borrower shall repay the
outstanding principal amount of all Loans in full, together with all accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, on the earlier of (a) June 30, 2002, and (b) the
date on which the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, declares
the Loans and Notes to be due and payable in full pursuant to Section 11.2(a).

      (b) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. The principal of the Loans shall be prepaid
in the minimum cumulative amount of $10,000,000 during each quarter,
commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2001 (the "Mandatory
Quarterly Prepayments"). In addition, as required by Section 10.6 but subject
to Sections 2.4 and 2.5, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in
immediately available funds by an amount equal to the greater of (x) 100% of
the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of (i) any golf course property, (ii) the
Innisbrook Assets or (iii) the Sandpiper Note and Mortgage and (y) the Stated
Release Price for such property (the "Mandatory Proceeds Prepayment"),
without regard for whether the Mandatory Quarterly Prepayments have been
made; provided that Net Cash Proceeds received from payments under any
purchase money notes must be applied to the repayment of the Obligations only
when such payments are received. All Mandatory Proceeds Prepayments shall be
applied to the Mandatory Quarterly Prepayments provided for in the first
sentence of this Section 2.2(b). If any portion of the purchase price for a
golf course property, the Innisbrook Assets or the Sandpiper Note and
Mortgage is payable pursuant to the terms of a purchase money note,
possession of such purchase money note shall be delivered to and held by the
Administrative Agent in order to perfect the Administrative Agent's
continuing security interest therein, and all payments received on such
purchase money note by the Credit Parties shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent as and when received and such payments shall be applied
to the prepayment of the Loans.

      (c)   OPTIONAL REPAYMENTS.  The Borrower may at any time and from time
to time repay the Loans, in whole or in part.

                                      16

<Page>

      SECTION 2.3   NOTES. Each Lender's Loans and the obligation of the
Borrower to repay such Loans shall be evidenced by the Note executed by the
Borrower payable to the order of such Lender representing the Borrower's
obligation to pay all Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower under the
Original Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan Agreement, PLUS interest and
all other fees, charges and other amounts due thereon as required under this
Agreement. Each Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount
thereof at the applicable interest rate per annum specified in Section 3.1.

      SECTION 2.4   CERTAIN EXPENSES. The initial $5,000,000 of Net Cash
Proceeds realized by the Borrower after the date hereof from the sale of golf
course properties, the Innisbrook Assets or the Sandpiper Note and Mortgage
may be retained by the Borrower to fund certain expenses incurred by the
Borrower in the sale or other disposition of its assets, litigation expenses,
recording fees and taxes, legal fees and dividends payable for the second
quarter of Fiscal Year 2001, which dividends shall not exceed $3,626,006.

      SECTION 2.5   INTEREST ESCROW ACCOUNT. Subject to Section 2.4, the
initial $1,500,000 of Net Cash Proceeds realized by the Borrower on or after
the date hereof from the sale of golf course properties, the Innisbrook
Assets or the Sandpiper Note and Mortgage shall be deposited in an
interest-bearing account to be maintained by the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders (the "Interest Escrow Account"). The Interest Escrow
Account shall bear interest at the rate paid by the Administrative Agent to
its customers for deposits of like amounts and terms, and interest earned
thereon shall be part of the Interest Escrow Account. In the event the
Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent that one or more
of the events described on SCHEDULE 2.5 has occurred and is continuing, then
during the continuance of such event, funds on deposit in the Interest Escrow
Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of
interest then due and payable or thereafter becoming due and payable on the
Notes. If at any time the proceeds of the Interest Escrow Account are
insufficient to pay in full the accrued and unpaid interest then due and
payable on the Notes, and the Borrower shall not have otherwise paid such
interest, an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(b) shall be deemed to
have occurred. The Borrower hereby grants and conveys to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in all funds in the
Interest Escrow Account from time to time. All funds remaining in the
Interest Escrow Account on the Termination Date shall be applied in
accordance with Section 3.3(b). At such time as all Obligations have been
paid in full, the balance of the Interest Escrow Account shall be remitted to
the Borrower. At such time prior to the Termination Date as none of the
events described on SCHEDULE 2.5 can occur, then upon written request of the
Borrower the Administrative Agent shall apply the funds on deposit in the
Interest Escrow Account to the payment of interest when such interest becomes
due and payable.

      SECTION 2.6   COLLATERALIZATION; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. The full
and punctual payment of the Obligations and performance of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement by the Borrower and the Guarantors shall be
secured by a Lien on, and the Borrower and Sandpiper-Golf Trust, LLC hereby
grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security
interest and lien in, the Collateral. The Borrower shall execute such
mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, security agreements, pledge
agreements, financing

                                      17

<Page>

statements and other documentation (collectively, "PERFECTION DOCUMENTATION")
and take such actions as shall be reasonably required to evidence and perfect
such Liens. Perfection Documentation for Group A Collateral and Group B
Collateral shall be executed and delivered as a condition precedent to the
obligation of the Lenders to close this Agreement. The Perfection
Documentation for the Group A Collateral shall be recorded promptly after the
Closing Date. The Administrative Agent shall hold the Perfection
Documentation for the Group B Collateral in escrow. The Administrative Agent
shall not record any Perfection Documentation for the Bonaventure golf course
property before the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
(ii) August 1, 2001 and shall not record it at all if the Bonaventure golf
course property has been sold and the Mandatory Proceeds Prepayment therefor
has been remitted to the Administrative Agent before that date. The
Administrative Agent shall not record any Perfection Documentation for the
balance of the Group B Collateral before the earliest of (i) the occurrence
of an Event of Default, (ii) forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, or
(iii) August 15, 2001, and shall not record any Perfection Documentation for
any Group B Collateral that is sold and the Mandatory Proceeds Prepayment
therefor has been remitted to the Administrative Agent before the earlier of
such dates. The Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all
recording fees and taxes payable in connection with the recordation of the
Perfection Documentation. Further, the Mandatory Proceeds Prepayment for the
Group B Collateral remitted to the Administrative Agent prior to the
recording of the Perfection Documentation therefor as herein provided shall
be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of Perfection Expenses held by the
Administrative Agent for such property pursuant to Section 5.2(e).

                                   ARTICLE III

                             GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

      SECTION 3.1   INTEREST.

      (a) INTEREST RATE. The unpaid principal balance of the Loans shall bear
interest, from and after the date of this Agreement, at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate PLUS 1%.

      (b) DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all outstanding Loans shall at the direction of the
Required Lenders bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate
PLUS 3%. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Notes after the filing by
or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or
under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether
state, federal or foreign.

      (c) INTEREST PAYMENT AND COMPUTATION. Interest shall be payable in
arrears on the last Business Day of each month, commencing July 31, 2001, and
on the Termination Date. All interest rates, fees and commissions provided
under this Agreement shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and
assessed for the actual number of days elapsed.

                                      18

<Page>

      (d) MAXIMUM RATE. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the
aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement or under any of
the Notes charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
pursuant to any of the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any
Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court
determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest under this
Agreement in excess of the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law, the
rate in effect under this Agreement shall automatically be reduced to the
maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the
Administrative Agent's option promptly refund to the Borrower any interest
received by Lenders in excess of the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law
or shall apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations if
permitted by Applicable Law (in either event, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Borrower in writing promptly of its decision). It is the intent of
this Agreement that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive,
directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that
which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

      SECTION 3.2   FEES.

      (a) MODIFICATION FEE. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, as a condition to the closing of this Agreement and for the account of
the Lenders, a non-refundable modification fee in an amount equal to (i) .25%
of (x) the Loans outstanding on the Closing Date MINUS (y) $56,000,000 PLUS
(ii) $50,000. A further modification fee shall be paid to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders on August 1, 2001 in an amount equal to
0.25% of the excess, if any, of $56,000,000 over the amount of the Mandatory
Proceeds Prepayment paid to the Administrative Agent on or before July 31,
2001, from the Legends Transaction and, if sold separately, from the sale of
the Bonaventure golf course property. On December 31, 2001, an additional
modification fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the Loans outstanding on such
date shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders. Such fees shall be distributed by the Administrative
Agent to the Lenders PRO RATA, based on the ratio of the outstanding Loans of
each Lender to the aggregate of all Loans outstanding.

      (b) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S AND OTHER FEES. The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for its account, the fees set forth in the separate
fee letter agreement executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
dated December 21, 1998.

      SECTION 3.3   PAYMENT.

      (a) MANNER OF PAYMENT. Each payment by the Borrower on account of the
principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other
amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any Note shall be made
not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent's Office for the account of the Lenders (other than as
set forth below) PRO RATA, based on the ratio of the outstanding Loans of
each Lender to the aggregate of all Loans outstanding, in immediately
available funds and shall be

                                      19

<Page>

made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment
received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on such day
shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 11.1, but
for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte
time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day
for all purposes. On the Business Day that each such payment is deemed made,
the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its address for
notices set forth in this Agreement its PRO RATA share of such payment in
accordance with this Section 3.3 and shall wire advice of the amount of such
credit to each Lender; PROVIDED that if the Administrative Agent fails to
distribute such funds on the date on which any payment is deemed made, the
Administrative Agent shall pay interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate
from the date such payment is received until the date such funds are
distributed by the Administrative Agent. Each payment to the Administrative
Agent of the Administrative Agent's fees or the expenses of the
Administrative Agent shall be made for the account of the Administrative
Agent.

      (b) CREDITING OF PAYMENTS AND PROCEEDS. All Mandatory Quarterly
Prepayments and all Mandatory Proceeds Prepayments pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof received by the Administrative Agent and all proceeds received after
the Termination Date shall be applied (i) first, if the Termination Date
shall not have occurred, to fund the Interest Escrow Account to the extent
required to maintain a $1,500,000 balance in such account; (ii) second, to
all costs and expenses then due and payable by the Borrower under this
Agreement; (iii) third, to all indemnity obligations then due and payable by
the Borrower under this Agreement, the Original Credit Agreement or the
Bridge Loan Agreement; (iv) fourth, to all Administrative Agent's fees and
all commitment, modification and other fees and commissions then due and
payable by Borrower under this Agreement; (v) fifth, if the Termination Date
shall have occurred, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes; and (vi)
sixth, to the principal amount of the Notes (all such amounts to be allocated
PRO RATA in accordance with all such amounts due).

      SECTION 3.4    RIGHT OF SET-OFF; ADJUSTMENTS.

      (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time
owing by such Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by
such Lender, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be
unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by such Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. The rights of each Lender under this section are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set-off) that such Lender may have.

      (b) If any Lender (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any
payment of

                                      20

<Page>

all or part of the Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by
set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Loans owing to it, or shall provide such
other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds
thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the
excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each
of the Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such
purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that
any Lender so purchasing a participation from a Lender pursuant to this
Section 3.4 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its
rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Person were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

      SECTION 3.5   REDUCED RETURN. If any Lender shall have determined that
the adoption after the date of this Agreement of any applicable law, rule, or
regulation regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental
authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender or
such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request,
or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time upon demand the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction.

      SECTION 3.6   TAXES.

      (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under or in
respect of any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative
Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or its Applicable Office)
or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any
political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or under
or in respect of any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums

                                      21

<Page>

payable under this Section 3.6) such Lender or the Administrative Agent
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred
to in Section 13.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof.

      (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or
future stamp, documentary or intangibles taxes and any other excise or
property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made, or any security interest, mortgage or other lien granted to or recorded
for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders or any other Loan Document or
from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "Other
Taxes").

      (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative
Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction
on amounts payable under this Section 3.6) properly paid by such Lender or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

      (d) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages of this
Agreement and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the
case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in
writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such
Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, as
appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party which provides that such
Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding on payments made hereunder,
(ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any
successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and (iii) any
other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any
certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue
Code), certifying to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such
Lender is entitled to an exemption from tax on payments pursuant to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

      (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant
to Section 3.6(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or
regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was
required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification under Section 3.6(a) or 3.6(b) with respect to Taxes imposed
by the United States; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that should a 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 this
Agreement, the Borrower shall take such reasonable steps as such

                                      22

<Page>

Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

      (f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.6, then such Lender will
agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable
Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may
thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

      (g) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

      (h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement, the agreements and
obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.6 shall survive the
payment in full of the Notes.

      SECTION 3.7   REIT STATUS. GTA has made an election to be treated as a
"real estate investment trust" under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and
will not hereafter revoke such election.

                                    GUARANTY

      SECTION 4.1   GUARANTY OF OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS. Each of the
Guarantors hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, and their permissible respective successors, endorsees,
transferees and assigns, the prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) and performance of all Obligations of the
Borrower, whether primary or secondary (whether by way of endorsement or
otherwise), whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not from
time to time reduced or extinguished (except by payment thereof) or hereafter
increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter become
barred by the statute of limitations, whether enforceable or unenforceable as
against the Borrower, whether or not discharged, stayed or otherwise affected
by any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or proceeding, whether
created directly with the Administrative Agent or any Lender or acquired by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender through assignment, endorsement or
otherwise as permitted under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured,
whether joint or several, as and when the same become due and payable
(whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory
repayment or otherwise), in accordance with the terms of any such instruments
evidencing any such obligations, including all renewals, extensions or
modifications thereof (all Obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, including all of the foregoing, being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations").

                                      23

<Page>

      SECTION 4.2   NATURE OF GUARANTY. Each Guarantor agrees that this
Guaranty is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and performance
and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Agreement shall be
primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

            (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any
      future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement or any other Loan
      Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which the
      Borrower is or may become a party;

            (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement or any other
      Loan Document or the waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent or any
      Lender with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any
      other Loan Document;

            (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its
      Lien against, any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed
      Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of such security or guaranty
      (including, without limitation, the release of any such security or
      guaranty); or

            (d)   any other action or circumstances which might otherwise
      constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
      guarantor;

it being agreed by each Guarantor that its obligations under this Guaranty
shall not be discharged until the final and indefeasible payment and
performance, in full, of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor expressly
waives all rights it may now or in the future have under any statute
(including, without limitation, North Carolina General Statutes Section 26-7,
ET SEQ. or similar law), or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations against the Borrower or any other party or against any security
for or other guaranty of the payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding
against, such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further expressly waives and agrees
not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon the failure of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to commence an action in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party
or any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any
time to the Administrative Agent or any Lender which is inconsistent with the
waivers in the preceding two sentences shall be null and void and may be
ignored by the Administrative Agent or Lender, and, in addition, may not be
pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guaranty
for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with
the written terms of this Guaranty, unless the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders have specifically agreed otherwise in writing. The foregoing
waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan
Documents and, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, the Administrative
Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

      SECTION 4.3   DEMAND BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. In addition to the
terms set forth in Section 4.2, and in no manner imposing any limitation on
such terms, if all or any portion of the then outstanding Guaranteed
Obligations under this Agreement are declared to be immediately due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the Guarantors
shall, upon demand in writing therefor by the Administrative Agent to the
Guarantors, pay all or such portion of the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations
then declared due and payable. Payment by the Guarantors shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed
Obligations, in immediately available federal funds to an account designated
by the Administrative Agent or at the address referenced in this Agreement
for the giving of notice to the Administrative Agent or at any other address
that may be specified in writing from time to time by the Administrative
Agent.

      SECTION 4.4   WAIVERS. In addition to the waivers contained in Section
4.2, each Guarantor waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist
upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets or
redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force,
which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by such
Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders of, this Guaranty. Each Guarantor further hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of whatever kind or nature
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and waives the benefit of
all provisions of law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of
this Guaranty. Each Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that its
obligations under this Guaranty are not and shall not be subject to any
counterclaims, offsets or defenses of any kind against the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders or the Borrower whether now existing or which may arise in
the future.

      SECTION 4.5   BENEFITS OF GUARANTY. The provisions of this Guaranty are
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their
respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing in
this Agreement contained shall impair, as between the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under
the Loan Documents. In the event all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations are transferred, endorsed or assigned by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to any Person or Persons, any reference to any "Administrative
Agent" or "Lenders" in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer equally to
such Person or Persons.

      SECTION 4.6   MODIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS ETC. If the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders shall at any time or from time to time, with or without
the consent of, or notice to, the Guarantors:

            (a)   change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of,
      or renew or alter all or any portion of, the Guaranteed Obligations;

            (b) take any action under or in respect of the Loan Documents in the
      exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available
      to it at law, in

                                      25

<Page>

      equity or otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such
      remedies, powers or privileges;

            (c)   amend or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the Loan
      Documents;

            (d) extend or waive the time for performance by the Guarantors, the
      Borrower or any other Person of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or
      agreement (other than this Guaranty) on its part to be performed or
      observed under a Loan Document, or waive such performance or compliance or
      consent to a failure of, or departure from, such performance or
      compliance;

            (e) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of the
      Guaranteed Obligations or sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or
      otherwise deal with, any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in
      which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have been granted a Lien, to
      secure any Debt of any Guarantor or the Borrower to the Administrative
      Agent or the Lenders;

            (f)   release anyone who may be liable in any manner for the
      payment of any amounts owed by the Guarantors or the Borrower to the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender;

            (g) modify or terminate the terms of any intercreditor or
      subordination agreement pursuant to which claims of other creditors of the
      Guarantors or the Borrower are subordinated to the claims of the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender; or

            (h) apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any
      amounts owing by the Guarantors or the Borrower to the Administrative
      Agent or any Lender in such manner as the Administrative Agent or any
      Lender shall determine in its discretion;

then neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any
liability to the Guarantors as a result thereof, and no such action shall
impair or release the obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement.

      SECTION 4.7   REINSTATEMENT. Each Guarantor agrees that if any payment
made by the Borrower or any other Person applied to the Obligations is at any
time annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid by the
Administrative Agent or Lender to the Borrower, their estate, trustee,
receiver or any other party, including, without limitation, such Guarantor,
under any Applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such
payment or repayment, such Guarantor's liability under this Agreement shall
be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never
been made, and, if prior thereto, this Guaranty shall have been canceled or
surrendered, this Guaranty shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and
such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge,
impair or otherwise affect the obligations of such Guarantor in respect of
the amount of such payment.

      SECTION 4.8   WAIVER OF SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION. Each Guarantor
hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it may now or
hereafter acquire against the Borrower that arise from the existence or
performance of such Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against the Borrower
security or collateral which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders now have
or may hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises
in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made under
this Agreement or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take
or receive from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account
of such claim or other rights.

      SECTION 4.9   REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent may enforce against any Guarantor its obligations
and liabilities under this Agreement and exercise such other rights and
remedies as may be available to the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law.

      SECTION 4.10  LIMIT OF LIABILITY. The obligations of each Guarantor
under this Agreement shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the
largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement
subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

      SECTION 6.1   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Credit Parties
hereby represent and warrant to the Agent and the Lenders that:

            (a) ORGANIZATION; POWER; QUALIFICATION. Each of the Credit Parties
      is duly organized, validly existing and, except as set forth on SCHEDULE
      6.1(a), in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
      incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own its
      properties and to carry on its business as now being and hereafter
      proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and authorized to do
      business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or
      the nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization
      and in which the failure to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.
      The jurisdictions in which the Credit Parties are qualified to do business
      are described on SCHEDULE 6.1(a).

            (b) OWNERSHIP. The Subsidiaries of the Borrower are set forth on

      Credit Parties has the right, power and authority and has taken all
      necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
      this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party
      and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in each case in
      accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement and each of the
      other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the duly
      authorized officers of each Guarantor and of the duly authorized general
      partner of the Borrower, and each such document constitutes the legal,
      valid and binding obligation of each of

                                      30

<Page>

      the Credit Parties, to the best of its knowledge, enforceable in
      accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or
      federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the
      enforcement of creditors' rights in general and the availability of
      equitable remedies.

            (d) COMPLIANCE OF AGREEMENT AND LOAN DOCUMENTS WITH LAWS, ETC. The
      execution, delivery and performance by each of the Credit Parties of the
      Loan Documents to which such Person is a party, in accordance with their
      respective terms, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do
      not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or
      otherwise, (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable
      Law relating to any Credit Party, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach
      of or constitute a default under the agreement of limited partnership of
      the Borrower, the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
      organizational documents of any Guarantor or any indenture, agreement or
      other instrument to which any Credit Party is a party or by which any of
      its properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to any
      Credit Party, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of
      any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter
      acquired by any Credit Party other than Liens arising under the Loan
      Documents.

            (e) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. Each of the Credit
      Parties, to the best of its knowledge, (i) has all material Governmental
      Approvals required by any Applicable Law for it to conduct its business,
      each of which is in full force and effect, is final and not subject to
      review on appeal and is not the subject of any pending or, to the best of
      its knowledge, threatened attack by direct or collateral proceeding, and
      (ii) is in compliance with each Governmental Approval applicable to it and
      in compliance with all other Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its
      respective properties, to the extent such failure to comply would have a
      Material Adverse Effect on the Credit Parties.

            (f) TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. Each of the Credit Parties has duly
      filed (or will duly file in accordance with Applicable Laws) or caused (or
      will cause in accordance with Applicable Laws) to be filed all federal,
      state, local and other tax returns required by Applicable Law (including
      the provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder relating to
      "real estate investment trusts") to be filed, and has paid (or will pay in
      accordance with Applicable Laws), or made adequate provision for the
      payment of, all federal, state, local and other taxes, assessments and
      governmental charges or levies upon it and its property, income, profits
      and assets which are due and payable. No Governmental Authority has
      asserted any Lien or other claim against any Credit Party with respect to
      unpaid taxes which has not been discharged or resolved. The charges,
      accruals and reserves on the books of each of the Credit Parties in
      respect of federal, state, local and other taxes for all Fiscal Years and
      portions thereof since the organization of each Credit Party are in the
      judgment of such Person adequate, and such Person does not anticipate any
      additional taxes or assessments for any of such years.

            otherwise set forth in the Environmental Assessment Reports;

                  (v) No judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative
            action is pending of which any Credit Party has received notice, or,

            named as a party with respect to such golf course properties or
            operations conducted in connection therewith, nor are there any
            consent decrees or consent orders, nor, to the Borrower's knowledge,

            the threat of release, of Hazardous Materials at or from such

            (h)   ERISA.

                  (i) Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or
            contributes to, or has any obligation under, any Employee Benefit
            Plans other than those identified on SCHEDULE 6.1(h);

                  (ii) the Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate is in material
            compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the
            regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to
            all Employee Benefit Plans except for any required amendments for
            which the remedial amendment period as defined in Section 401(b) of
            the Code has not yet expired. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is
            intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been
            determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and
            each trust related to such plan has been determined to be exempt
            under Section 501(a) of the Code. No liability has been incurred by
            the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for
            any taxes or penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or
            any Multiemployer Plan;

                  (iii) No Pension Plan has been terminated, nor has any
            accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 412 of the
            Code) been incurred (without regard to any waiver granted under
            Section 412 of the Code), nor has any funding waiver from the
            Internal Revenue Service been received or requested with respect to
            any Pension Plan, nor has the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate failed
            to make any contributions or to pay any amounts due and owing as
            required by Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the
            terms of any Pension Plan prior to the due dates of such
            contributions under Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA,
            nor has there been any event requiring any disclosure under Section
            4041(c)(3)(C) or 4063(a) of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan;

                  (iv) Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has: (A)
            engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Section
            406 of the ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, (B) incurred any
            liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the
            payment of premiums and there are no premium payments which are due
            and unpaid, (C) failed to make a required contribution or payment to
            a Multiemployer Plan, or (D) failed to make a required installment
            or other required payment under Section 412 of the Code;

                  (v)   No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably
            expected to

                                      33

<Page>

            occur; and

                  (vi) No proceeding, claim, lawsuit and/or investigation is
            existing or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower after due
            inquiry, threatened concerning or involving any (A) employee welfare
            benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) currently
            maintained or contributed to by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate,
            (B) Pension Plan, or (C) Multiemployer Plan.

            (i) MARGIN STOCK. The Borrower is not engaged principally or as one
      of its activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
      "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" (as each such term is
      defined or used in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
      Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any of the Loans will be used
      for purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any purpose which violates,
      or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or
      X of such Board of Governors.

            (j) GOVERNMENT REGULATION. The Borrower is not an "investment
      company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" (as each
      such term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
      amended) and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is, or after
      giving effect to any Extension of Credit will be, subject to regulation
      under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 or the Interstate
      Commerce Act, each as amended, or any other Applicable Law which limits
      its ability to incur or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

            (k) MATERIAL CONTRACTS. SCHEDULE 6.1(k) sets forth a complete and
      accurate list of all Material Contracts of the Credit Parties in effect as
      of the Closing Date not listed on any other Schedule hereto; other than as
      set forth in SCHEDULE 6.1(k), each such Material Contract is, and
      immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by the Loan Documents will be, to the best of each Credit
      Party's knowledge, in full force and effect in accordance with the terms
      thereof. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a true and
      complete copy of each Material Contract required to be listed on
      SCHEDULE 6.1(k).

            (l) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The (i) audited Consolidated balance sheet
      of the Credit Parties as of December 31, 2000 and the related statements
      of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the period then ended
      and (ii) unaudited Consolidated balance sheet of the Credit Parties as of
      March 31, 2001 and related unaudited interim statements of revenue and
      retained earnings, copies of which have been furnished to the
      Administrative Agent and each Lender, are, and all financial statements
      hereafter delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether
      pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, shall be, complete and correct in
      all material respects and fairly present the assets, liabilities
      (including, without limitation, material contingent liabilities) and
      financial position of the Credit Parties as at such dates, and the results
      of the operations and changes of financial position for the periods then
      ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and
      notes thereto,

                                      34

<Page>

      have been, or will be, as the case may be, prepared in accordance with
      GAAP. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 6.1(l), the Credit Parties have no
      Debt, obligation or other unusual forward or long-term commitment which
      is not fairly reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the
      notes thereto.

            (m)   SOLVENCY.  As of the Closing Date each of the Credit
      Parties will be Solvent.

            (n) TITLES TO PROPERTIES. Each Credit Party has such title to the
      real property owned by it as is necessary or desirable to the conduct of
      its business and valid and legal title to all of its personal property and
      assets, including, but not limited to, those reflected on the Consolidated
      balance sheet of the Credit Parties delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(l),
      except those which have been disposed of by the Credit Parties subsequent
      to such date, which dispositions have been in the ordinary course of
      business or as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement.

            (o) LIENS. None of the properties and assets of any Credit Party is
      subject to any Lien, except Liens created by the Loan Documents and
      Permitted Liens. No financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code
      of any state which names any Credit Party or any of its trade names or
      divisions as debtor and which has not been terminated, has been filed in
      any state or other jurisdiction and no Credit Party has signed any such
      financing statement or any security agreement authorizing any secured
      party thereunder to file any such financing statement, except to perfect
      those Liens permitted by Section 10.3.

            (p) DEBT AND CONTINGENT OBLIGATIONS. SCHEDULE 6.1(p) is a complete
      and correct listing of all existing Debt and Contingent Obligations of the
      Credit Parties. The Credit Parties have performed and are in compliance
      with all of the terms of such Debt and Contingent Obligations and all
      instruments and agreements relating thereto, and no default or event of
      default, or event or condition which with notice or lapse of time or both
      would constitute such a default or event of default on the part of any
      Credit Party exists with respect to any such Debt or Contingent
      Obligation, except for any failures to perform or comply, or defaults or
      events of default, that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

            (q) LITIGATION. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 6.1(q), there are no
      actions, suits or proceedings pending after service on any of the Credit
      Parties nor, to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, threatened against or
      in any other way relating adversely to or affecting any of the Credit
      Parties or any of their properties in any court or before any arbitrator
      of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority.

            (r) ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATION. No representation or
      warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Loan Document or in any
      other document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Lenders
      by or on behalf of any Credit Party for use in connection with the
      transactions contemplated by this

                                      35

<Page>

      Agreement contained any statement of a material fact that was
      untrue when made. No representation is made with respect to
      financial projections. None of the Credit Parties is aware of any
      facts (other than matters of a general economic nature) that,
      individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to
      result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been
      disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and
      statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the
      transactions contemplated hereby.

            (s)   JUDGMENTS. There are no judgments or orders for the payment
      of money outstanding against any Credit Party.

            (t) PARTICIPATING LEASES/INNISBROOK ASSETS/SANDPIPER NOTE. To the
      knowledge of the Credit Parties, and except as set forth on
      SCHEDULE 6.1(t), no monetary default, and no non-monetary default which
      would have a material adverse effect on the enforcement thereof, exists
      under any Participating Lease, the Innisbrook Assets or the Sandpiper Note
      and Mortgage.

      SECTION 6.2   SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, ETC. All
representations and warranties set forth in this Article VI and all
representations and warranties contained in any certificate executed and
delivered by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the Loan
Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty
made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute
representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations
and warranties made under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and
shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

      Until all of the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full,
unless consent has been obtained in the manner provided for in Section 13.11,
each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

      SECTION 8.1   PRESERVATION OF EXISTENCE AND RELATED MATTERS. Preserve
and maintain its separate corporate or partnership existence, as applicable,
and all rights, franchises, licenses and privileges necessary to the conduct
of its business, and qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation or
partnership and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the
failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Credit Parties shall cause GTA LP, Inc. to be duly
qualified and authorized to do business in Maryland as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Closing Date and, in any event, not later than 30 days
after the Closing Date.

      SECTION 8.2   MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Protect and preserve all
properties useful in and material to its business, including copyrights,
patents, trade names and trademarks and service marks; maintain in good
working order and condition all buildings, equipment and other tangible real
and personal property; and from time to time make or cause to be made all
renewals, replacements and additions to such property necessary for the
conduct of its business, so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times.

      SECTION 8.3   INSURANCE.

      (a) Keep its insurable properties adequately insured at all times;
maintain such other insurance, to such extent and against such risks,
including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage, as is
customary with similarly-situated companies in the same or similar businesses
and maintain such other insurance as may be required by Applicable Law, in
each case with financially sound and reputable insurers reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent. To the extent reasonably practicable, the
Administrative Agent shall be named as loss payee under policies insuring
against casualty losses, and as an additional insured with respect to
liability policies.

      (b) The Borrower will not amend or waive any provision in any
Participating Lease or the Innisbrook Mortgage requiring the lessee
thereunder or owner of the property that is the subject of the Innisbrook
Mortgage (the "Innisbrook Owner") to maintain insurance with respect to the
golf course property leased by such lessee or the property that is the
subject of the Innisbrook Mortgage. The Borrower will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such lessees and the Innisbrook Owner to comply
with any provisions in such Participating Leases or the Innisbrook Mortgage
that require such lessees or the Innisbrook Owner to have the Administrative
Agent named as loss payee under policies of insurance against loss or damage
to any golf course property covered by such insurance policies, and to have
the Administrative

                                      40

<Page>

Agent named as additional insured under any such liability insurance
policies. All proceeds received by the Administrative Agent under any such
policies of insurance against loss or damage to any golf course property
shall be promptly remitted to the Borrower to the extent necessary to enable
the Borrower to comply with any provisions in the applicable Participating
Lease or Innisbrook Mortgage that would require the Borrower to remit such
proceeds to the lessee or to repair or replace the applicable property if the
Borrower had received such proceeds. All other proceeds received by the
Administrative Agent under any such policies of insurance for loss or damage
to any golf course property shall, after deduction therefrom of all
reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent, including
attorneys' fees, in connection with the receipt of such proceeds, at the

      SECTION 11.2  REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall:

            (a) ACCELERATION. Declare the principal of and interest on the Loans
      and the Notes at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the
      Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the
      other Loan Documents and all other Obligations, to be forthwith due and
      payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable
      without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
      which are expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan
      Documents to the contrary notwithstanding PROVIDED, that upon the
      occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(k) or (l), all
      Obligations shall automatically become due and payable without
      presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
      expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
      to the contrary notwithstanding.

            (b) RIGHTS OF COLLECTION. Exercise on behalf of the Lenders all of
      its other rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without

      SECTION 11.3  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; NON-WAIVER; ETC. The
enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the
exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy
shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which
shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy
given under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents or that may now
or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or
failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of
any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees
shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any
Event of Default.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

      SECTION 12.1  APPOINTMENT, POWERS, AND IMMUNITIES.

      (a)   Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Bank of
America to act as its Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents with such powers and discretion as are specifically and
respectively delegated to the Administrative

                                      52

<Page>

Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together
with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

      (b) The Administrative Agent shall administer the Credit Facility in
the same manner as if all Loans were held by the Administrative Agent in its
own portfolio. The Administrative Agent shall forward to the Lenders all
documents received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, unless such Credit Party is obligated under
this Agreement to make delivery of such documents to the Lenders.

      (c) The Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and
in Section 12.5 and the first sentence of Section 12.6 of this Agreement
shall include its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates' officers,
directors, employees, and agents): (a) shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and shall
not be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to
the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation, or warranty (whether
written or oral) made in or in connection with any Loan Document or any
certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by
any of them under, any Loan Document, or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Loan
Document, or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for
any failure by any Credit Party or any other Person to perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement; (c) shall not be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify the performance or observance
of any covenants or agreements by any Credit Party or the satisfaction of any
condition or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (d) shall not be
required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings
under any Loan Document; and (e) shall not be responsible for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Loan
Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach
of an express agreement made by the Administrative Agent to any other Lender
contained herein. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

      SECTION 12.2  RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or
other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone
or telecopy) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any
Credit Party), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement unless
and until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and
Acceptance executed in accordance with Section 13.10. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not
be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be
required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so
acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required
Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders;
PROVIDED,

                                      53

<Page>

HOWEVER, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or unless it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

      SECTION 12.3  DEFAULTS. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default
unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or
the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that any Lender receives
such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, such Lender
shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the other
Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section
12.2 of this Agreement) take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders,
PROVIDED THAT, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received
such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest
of the Lenders.

      SECTION 12.4  RIGHTS AS LENDER. With respect to the Loans made by it,
the Administrative Agent (and any successor acting as Agent) in its capacity
as a Lender under this Agreement shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders"
shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent (and any successor
acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to
account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make
investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of
lending, trust, or other business with any Credit Party or Affiliates as if
it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent (and
any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept
fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise
without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

      SECTION 12.5  INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent ratably in accordance with their respective Loans, for
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees), or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any
Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document; 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 Person to be indemnified or from the
breach of an express agreement or made by the Administrative Agent to any
Lenders contained herein. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
agrees to reimburse the

                                      54

<Page>

Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs
or expenses payable by the Borrower under Section 13.2, to the extent that
the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such reasonable and
actually incurred costs and expenses by the Borrower. The agreements
contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of the Loans and all
other amounts payable under this Agreement.

      SECTION 12.6  NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender
agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Credit Parties
and their Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in
taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices,
reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition, or business of any Credit Party or Affiliates that may come into
the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates.

      SECTION 12.7  RESIGNATION; REMOVAL OF AGENT; SUCCESSOR AGENTS.

      (a)   RESIGNATION OF AGENT.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.
The Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders or such appointee shall not have accepted
such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of
notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be an
Eligible Assignee having total assets of at least $25,000,000,000.

      (b) REMOVAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Lenders may remove the
Administrative Agent hereunder and appoint a successor Administrative Agent
upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice signed by holders
of at least sixty six and two thirds percent (66.67%) of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Notes (exclusive of the Notes held by the
Administrative Agent) if the Administrative Agent is grossly negligent or is
guilty of willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder, as
determined in the reasonable discretion of the Lenders signing the foregoing
written notice.

      (c) SUCCESSOR AGENTS. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement by a successor, such successor
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent upon
written notice thereof to Borrower, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement
excepting with respect to its willful misconduct or gross negligence
occurring prior to its discharge. After any retiring Administrative Agent's
resignation or removal under this Agreement as Administrative

                                      55

<Page>

Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Administrative Agent.

      SECTION 12.8  DOCUMENTATION AGENT AND SYNDICATION AGENT. The
Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent, in their respective capacities as
a documentation agent and a syndication agent, shall have no duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      SECTION 13.1  NOTICES.

Day if sent by recognized overnight courier service, and (iii) on the third

written notice.

at the following addresses, or any other address as to which all the other

Default is continuing and in connection with enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of the Loan Documents and the
other documents to be delivered under this Agreement. In each instance,
reasonably and actually incurred costs and expenses shall include, without
limitation, reasonable and actually incurred attorneys' fees and expenses and
the reasonably and actually incurred cost of internal counsel.

      (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and
each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, and advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party")
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and actually incurred
attorneys' fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any
Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in
connection therewith) the Loan Documents, any of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds
of the Loans, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost,
or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation
or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.2 applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Credit Party, its directors, shareholders or
creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified
Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower agrees not to assert any
claim against any Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, and advisers,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive
damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the actual or proposed use
of the proceeds of the Loans.

      (c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower under this Agreement, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower
contained in this Section 13.2 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans
and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Section 13.2 of
the Original Credit Agreement and Section 13.2 of the Bridge Loan Agreement
shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the payment in full of the
Loans and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

      SECTION 13.3  SET-OFF. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights,
upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the
continuance thereof, the Lenders and any assignee or participant of a Lender
in accordance with Section 13.10 are hereby authorized by the Borrower at any
time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other
Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates
of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any
time held or owing by the Lenders, or any such assignee or participant to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the
Obligations irrespective of whether or not (a) the Lenders shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (b) the
Administrative Agent shall have declared any or all of the Obligations to be
due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2 and although such Obligations
shall be contingent or unmatured.

      SECTION 13.4  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, the Notes and the other
Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth therein, shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the
State of North Carolina, without reference to the conflicts or choice of law
principles thereof.

      SECTION 13.5  CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Each Credit Party hereby
irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in any action, claim or
other proceeding arising out of any dispute in connection with this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations
under this Agreement or thereunder, or the performance of such rights and
obligations. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of
a summons and complaint and other process in any action, claim or proceeding
brought by either the Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement,
the Notes or the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations under this
Agreement or thereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations,
on behalf of itself or its property, in the manner specified in Section 13.1.
Nothing in this Section 13.5 shall affect the right of either the Agent or
any Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable
Law or affect the right of either the Agent or any Lender to bring any action
or proceeding against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any
other jurisdictions.

      SECTION 13.6  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,

RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER

DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THEREUNDER, OR
THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

      SECTION 13.7  REVERSAL OF PAYMENTS. To the extent the Borrower makes a
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the
Administrative Agent.

      SECTION 13.8  INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

      (a) Each Credit Party recognizes that in the event the Borrower fails
to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under
this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the
Lenders. Therefore, each Credit Party agrees that the Lenders, at the
Lenders' option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive
relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

      (b) The Agents, the Lenders and the Credit Parties hereby agree that no
such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any
other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right
or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise
in the future in connection with any judicial proceeding, dispute, claim or
controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to the Notes or any
other Loan Documents ("Disputes"), whether such Dispute is resolved through
arbitration or judicially.

      (c) The parties agree that they shall not have a remedy of punitive or
exemplary damages against any other party in any Dispute and hereby waive any
right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages they have now or which may
arise in the future in connection with any Dispute whether the Dispute is
resolved by arbitration or judicially.

      SECTION 13.9  ACCOUNTING MATTERS. All financial and accounting
calculations, measurements and computations made for any purpose relating to
this Agreement, including, without limitation, all computations utilized by
any Credit Party to determine compliance with any covenant contained in this
Agreement, shall, except as otherwise expressly contemplated hereby or unless
there is an express written direction by the Administrative Agent to the
contrary agreed to by the Borrower, be performed in accordance with GAAP as
in effect on the Closing Date. In the event that changes in GAAP shall be
mandated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any similar
accounting body of comparable standing, or shall be recommended by the
Borrower's certified public accountants, to the extent that such changes
would modify such accounting terms or the interpretation or computation
thereof, such changes shall be followed in defining such accounting terms
only from and after the date the

                                      60

<Page>

Borrower and the Lenders shall have amended this Agreement to the extent
necessary to reflect any such changes in the financial covenants and other
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      SECTION 13.10 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

      (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans and its Notes); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that

            (i)   each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

            (ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an
      assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this
      Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least
      equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
      thereof;

            (iii) each such assignment by a Lender shall be of a constant, and
      not varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under this
      Agreement and its Note;

            (iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
      Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance in
      the form of EXHIBIT B hereto (an "Assignment and Acceptance"), together
      with any Note subject to such assignment and, except in cases of
      assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, a processing fee of
      $3,500; and

            (v)   the Borrower shall receive prior written notice thereof.

Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance,
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such
assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender under this
Agreement and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this
Agreement excepting with respect to any gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such assigning Lender prior to the date of such
assignment. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section,
the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the
assignor and the assignee. If the assignee is not incorporated under the laws
of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from
deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 3.5.

      (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to
in Section 13.1 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender
from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the

                                      61

<Page>

Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this
Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower (or any of its agents or advisors) or any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

      (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the
parties thereto, together with the Note subject to such assignment and
payment of the processing fee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form
of EXHIBIT B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt
written notice thereof to the parties thereto and to the Borrower.

      (d) Each Lender may sell participations in minimum amounts of
$10,000,000 to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the
participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the right of set-off
contained in Section 3.4, and (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to its Loans and its Note
and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, or waivers increasing
or decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is
payable on such Loans or Note, extending the maturity date or any scheduled
principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such
Loans or Note.

      (e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement,
any Lender may at any time assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans
and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to
Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank.
No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations
under this Agreement.

      (f) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Credit
Parties in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and
participants (including prospective assignees and participants).

      SECTION 13.11 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such
amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the
Required Lenders (and, if Article XII or the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent);
PROVIDED that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the
Lenders, (i) impose on any Lender an obligation to make any further Loans,
(ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees or
other amounts payable under this Agreement, (iii) postpone any date fixed for
the payment of any scheduled installment of

satisfaction of all Lenders or each Lender, without the prior written consent
of each Lender.

under this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall be performed by
such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense.

the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

      SECTION 13.14 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. Notwithstanding any termination
of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Agents and the Lenders are
entitled under the provisions of this Article XIII and any other provision of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and
effect and shall protect the Agents and the Lenders against events arising
after such termination as well as before.

contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt

any of their successors, assigns, or other legal representatives may now or
hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of
them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing
whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the day and date of this

Borrower and the Guarantors, on behalf of themselves and their successors,
assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally

it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or
otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and
discharged by the Borrower pursuant to Section 13.18 above. If the Borrower

representations violates the foregoing covenant, the Borrower and the
Guarantors, for themselves and their successors, assigns and legal
representatives, agree to pay, in addition to such other damages as any
Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys' fees and
costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such violation.

Parties, as applicable, agrees to furnish any information reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent promptly upon request therefor by the
Administrative Agent. Each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of
the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and
