                        PRIMARY TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

     THIS PRIMARY TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into effective as of January 1, 2001 by and among WATERMARK COMMUNITIES
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), WCI COMMUNITIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("WCI"), BAY COLONY-GATEWAY, INC., a Delaware corporation ("BCG"),
BCG's Subsidiaries (each a "BCG Subsidiary") and each of the other direct and
indirect subsidiaries of WCI, (excluding BCG's Subsidiaries, each a
"Subsidiary" and collectively the "Subsidiaries").

                                  WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto are some of the members of an affiliated group
(the "Affiliate Group") as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code"); and

     WHEREAS, the Affiliated Group will file U.S. and state consolidated income
tax returns for its tax year 2001 and is required to file consolidated tax
returns for subsequent years; and

     WHEREAS, it is the intent and desire of the parties hereto that a method
be established for allocating the consolidated federal and state income tax
liability, intangibles tax liability, franchise tax liability and other similar
tax liability of the Affiliated Group among its members, for reimbursing the
Parent for payment of such tax liability, for compensating any party for use of
its losses or tax credits, to provide for special allocation of deductions
created by the payment to a party, or accrual of an item payable to a party,
which creates a deduction with respect to the payment on accrual, and to
provide for the allocation and payment of any refund arising from a carryback
on losses or tax credits from subsequent tax years; and

     WHEREAS, the parties desire to treat BCG and BCG's Subsidiaries as a
separate subgroup of the Affiliated Group (the "BCG Subgroup") for purposes of
allocating the appropriate portion of the consolidated federal and state income
tax liability, intangibles tax liability, franchise tax liability and other
similar tax liability of the Affiliated Group;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   U.S. and State consolidated income tax returns shall be filed by the
Parent for the tax year ended December 31, 2001, and for each subsequent
taxable period in respect of which this Agreement is in effect and for which
the Affiliated Group is required or permitted to file consolidated tax
returns.  WCI, BCG and the Subsidiaries will execute and file, and BCG will
cause each member of the BCG Subgroup to execute and file, such consents,
elections, and other documents as may be required or appropriate for the proper
filing of such returns.

     2.   For purposes of calculating each party's share of the consolidated
federal and state tax liability, the Parent shall specially allocate to each
of WCI, the BCG Subgroup and each Subsidiary any item of deduction resulting
from the payment by the Parent or WCI to WCI, any member of the BCG Subgroup or
any Subsidiary, or the accrual of any such payment.
<PAGE>   2
     3.   For each tax period, after the special allocations made pursuant to
the provisions in Section 2, each of WCI, BCG (on behalf of the BCG Subgroup)
and each Subsidiary shall compute its separate federal and state income tax
liability by multiplying its net taxable income by the Parent's effective
consolidated federal and state income tax rate (the "Combined Tax Rate").  The
separate federal and state income tax liability shall be computed, in the case
of WCI and a Subsidiary, on a separate company basis as if it were filing
separate federal and state corporate income tax returns, and, in the case of
BCG (on behalf of the BCG Group), on a separate Affiliated Group basis, as if
BCG were filing consolidated federal and state corporate income tax returns on
behalf of the BCG Group.  For purposes of this calculation, none of the income
or losses of WCI, the BCG Subgroup or any Subsidiary shall be attributed to the
Parent or used in the calculation of the Parent's taxable income, and none of
the income or losses of the BCG Subgroup shall be attributed to WCI or any
Subsidiary, or used in the calculation of WCI taxable income.

     4.   If WCI, the BCG Subgroup and each Subsidiary would be subject to
federal and state income tax if it filed a separate income return, then WCI,
the BCG Subgroup and each Subsidiary shall pay its amount so calculated under
Section 3 to the Parent.

     5.   If WCI, the BCG Subgroup and each Subsidiary would be entitled to a
refund of federal and state income tax if it filed a separate income tax
return, Parent shall pay WCI, the BCG Subgroup, and each Subsidiary the amount
so calculated under Section 3.

     6.   In the event that the Parent is not able to pay interest on
obligations because WCI did not, or was not permitted to, make distributions to
the Parent to permit such payment but the Parent may deduct such interest
accrued for federal or state income tax purposes, and such deduction results in
reducing the federal and/or state income taxes payable by the Affiliated Group,
then WCI shall pay to the Parent its proportionate share, determined in the
manner provided in Sections 3, 4 and 5, of the reduction of federal and/or
state income taxes payable by the Affiliated Group resulting from the amount by
which the amount of interest accrued and deducted exceeds the amount of
interest actually paid.

     7.   For each tax period WCI, BCG on behalf of the BCG Subgroup, and each
Subsidiary shall calculate its separate intangibles tax liability on the basis
of taxable intangibles owned by it and on the value of its own equity
(exclusive of its subsidiaries) and not eliminated in consolidation, and shall
calculate its separate franchise tax liability and other similar tax
liability, and each of WCI, the BCG Subgroup and the Subsidiaries shall pay to
the Parent (a) its appropriate share of consolidated intangibles tax
liability, based upon the ratio that each member's separate liability, as so
determined, bears to the consolidated intangibles tax liability, and (b) its
appropriate share of consolidated or combined franchise tax liability and
other similar tax liability in the ratio that its separate liability for each
of such items, as so determined, bears to the consolidated or combined
liability, or on some other equitable basis as determined by the Parent.

     8.   For purposes of this Agreement, any consolidated liability for
alternative minimum tax shall be calculated and paid by the parties consistent
with the manner in which federal and state income tax liabilities are
determined under this Agreement.

     9.   Payment of the consolidated federal and state income tax liability,
intangibles tax liability, franchise tax liability and other similar tax
liability for a taxable period shall include the payment of estimated tax
installments due for such taxable period, and WCI, BCG (on behalf of
<PAGE>   3
the BCG Subgroup), and each Subsidiary shall pay to the Parent its share of
each payment within ten days of receiving notice of such payment from the
Parent, but in no event later than the due date for each such payment.  Any
amounts paid by WCI, any member of the BCG Subgroup or any Subsidiary on
account of separate estimated tax payments that are credited against the
consolidated federal or state income tax liability, intangibles tax liability,
franchise tax liability and other similar tax liability of the Affiliated Group
shall be included in determining the payments due from WCI, the BCG Subgroup or
any Subsidiary.  Any overpayment of estimated tax shall be refunded to the
party who made such payment.

     10.  If the consolidated federal, state, intangibles, franchise, and other
similar tax liability of the Affiliated Group is adjusted for any taxable
period, whether by means of an amended return, claim for refund or audit by the
Internal Revenue Service or any comparable state agency, the liability of the
Parent, WCI, the BCG Subgroup and each Subsidiary shall be recomputed to give
effect to such adjustments.  In the case that the Parent receives a refund, the
Parent shall make payment to each of WCI, BCG and each Subsidiary for its share
of the refund, determined in the same manner as provided in Sections 2, 3, 4
and 5 above, within ten days after the refund its received by the Parent; and
in the case of an increase in tax liability of the Parent, WCI, BCG and each
Subsidiary shall pay to the Parent its allocable share of such increased tax
liability, determined in the same manner as provided in Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5
above, within ten days after receiving notice of such liability from the
Parent.

     11.  If during a consolidated return period, the Parent or WCI acquires or
organizes another corporation that is required to be included in the
consolidated return, that corporation shall join in and be bound by this
Agreement.

     12.  This Agreement shall apply, with respect to each party, to each tax
year with respect to which such party was a member of the Affiliated Group
under Section 1504(a) of the Code, unless the Parent, WCI, BCG and the
Subsidiaries agree to terminate the Agreement.  Notwithstanding such
termination, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to any
payment or refunds due for all taxable periods prior to termination.

     13.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

maintain a loan account (the "Revolving Credit Loan Account") on its books in
the name of the Borrower. Each of the Revolving Credit Advances and all fees and
other amounts due and payable hereunder will be debited to and each payment or
prepayment on account thereof will be credited to, and shall be recorded in, the
Revolving Credit Loan Account. Any failure of the Agent to

25

<PAGE>   35

record a transaction in a timely fashion shall not affect or impair the validity
of any Obligation. The Agent shall render to the Borrower a monthly statement of
the Revolving Credit Loan Account and, unless written exception thereto is taken
by the Borrower within forty-five (45) days of receipt, such statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower except for manifest error; provided,
however, that the failure of the Agent to render any such statement in a timely
fashion shall not impair the validity or binding nature of the Revolving Credit
Loan Account.

        The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay the Revolving
Credit Loan made to the Borrower hereunder, in whole or in part, without premium
or penalty except as provided in Section 5.6, upon one (1) Business Day written,
telegraphic or telephonic notice to the Agent. Subject to the conditions of
Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, amounts so prepaid may be reborrowed

        If at any time the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Loan shall exceed an amount equal to the Maximum Revolver Amount, whether as a
result of reductions in the Maximum Revolver Amount or otherwise, the Borrower
shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the amount of
such excess.

        Section 3.5 Revolving Credit Advances; Interest Rates.

        (a)     Requests for Revolving Credit Advances. Whenever the Borrower
desires to receive a Revolving Credit Advance, the Borrower shall give notice to
the Agent by telephone, telecopy, telex or cable; in each case, confirmed in
writing by the Borrower, delivered to the Agent's head office at 100 Federal
Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention: Commercial Loan Services, Mail
Stop: 05-02-00-A.

        Each such notice delivered by the Borrower shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advance requested. Each such notice
shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Advance requested
from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date therefor.
Whenever there is an Obligation due and payable, the Agent may (but shall not be
required to) make a Revolving Credit Advance in the amount of such Obligation
and apply the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advance to the payment of the
Obligation, provided that the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such
Revolving Credit Advance and the application of proceeds thereof.

        (b)     Choice of Interest Rate, etc. Any Revolving Credit Advance
shall, at the option of the Borrower, be made either as a Base Rate Advance or
as a Eurodollar Advance; provided, however, that (i) if the Borrower fails to
give the Agent written notice or by electronic transmission through systems
established by the Agent specifying whether a Revolving Credit Advance is to be
repaid or reborrowed on a Payment Date, such Revolving Credit Advance shall be
repaid and then reborrowed as a Base Rate Advance on the Payment Date, and (ii)
the Borrower may not select a Eurodollar Advance (A) with respect to a Revolving
Credit Advance, the proceeds of which are to reimburse the Agent pursuant to
Section 3.5(a), or (B) if, at the time of such Revolving Credit Advance, a
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any notice given to
the Agent in connection with a requested Revolving Credit Advance hereunder
shall be given to the Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) in order for such

26
<PAGE>   36

Business Day to count toward the minimum number of Business Days required. The
Agent shall, upon reasonable request of the Borrower from time to time, provide
to the Borrower such information with regard to the Eurodollar Rate Basis as may
be so requested.

        (c)     Base Rate Advances.

                1.      Initial and Subsequent Base Rate Advances. The Borrower
shall give the Agent in the case of Base Rate Advances not later than 11:00 a.m.
(Boston time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Revolving
Credit Advance, irrevocable prior notice by telephone or telecopy and shall
confirm any such telephone notice with a written request for Revolving Credit
Advance; provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to confirm any
notice by telephone or telecopy with a request for Revolving Credit Advance
shall not invalidate any notice so given.

                2.      Repayments and Reborrowings. The Borrower may repay or
prepay a Base Rate Advance, and (a) at any time reborrow all or a portion of the
principal amount thereof as one (1) or more Base Rate Advances, (b) upon at
least three (3) Business Days irrevocable prior written notice to the Agent,
reborrow all or a portion of the principal thereof as one (1) or more Eurodollar
Advances, or (c) not reborrow all or any portion of such Base Rate Advance. Upon
the date indicated by the Borrower, such Base Rate Advance shall be so repaid
and, as applicable, reborrowed.

                3.      Limitations as to Base Rate Advances. Each Base Rate
Advance shall be in a principal amount of not less than $500,000.00 and in
integral multiples of $50,000.00. Requests for any Base Rate Advance may be made
daily (but only once a day), provided the Borrower satisfies all notice
requirements as provided for herein.

        (d)     Eurodollar Advances.

                (i)     Initial and Subsequent Eurodollar Advances. The Borrower
shall give the Agent in the case of Eurodollar Advances at least three (3)
Business Days irrevocable prior notice by telephone or telecopy and shall
immediately confirm any such telephone notice with a written request for
Revolving Credit Advance; provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to
confirm any notice by telephone or telecopy with a request for Revolving Credit
Advance shall not invalidate any notice so given. The Agent, whose determination
shall be conclusive, shall determine the Eurodollar Basis as of the second (2nd)
Business Day prior to the date of the requested Revolving Credit Advance and
shall promptly notify the Borrower of the same, and the Borrower shall promptly
confirm in writing receipt of such notification. The Eurodollar Loan Period for
each Eurodollar Advance shall in all events be either one (1), two (2) or three
(3) months. Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by telephone or telecopy of the
contents thereof.

                (ii)    Procedures After Repayment of Eurodollar Advance. At
least three (3) Business Days prior to each Payment Date for a Eurodollar Loan,
the Borrower shall give the Agent written notice specifying whether all or a
portion of any Eurodollar Advance outstanding on the Payment Date (a) is to be
repaid and then reborrowed in whole or in part as a

27
<PAGE>   37

new Eurodollar Advance, in which case such notice shall also specify the
Eurodollar Loan Period which the Borrower shall have selected for such new
Eurodollar Advance, (b) is to be repaid and then reborrowed in whole or in part
as a Base Rate Advance, or (c) is to be repaid and not reborrowed. Upon such
Payment Date such Eurodollar Advance will, subject to the provisions hereof, be
so repaid and, as applicable, reborrowed.

                (iii)   Limitations as to Eurodollar Advances. Each Eurodollar
Advance shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000.00 and in
integral multiples of $100,000.00, and at no time shall the aggregate number of
all Eurodollar Advances then outstanding exceed four (4). Requests for
Eurodollar Advances may be made daily (but only once a day) provided the
Borrower satisfies all notice requirements as provided for herein.

                (iv)    Reimbursement. Whenever any Revolving Credit Lender
shall actually incur any losses or actual expenses in connection with (i)
failure by the Borrower to borrow any Eurodollar Advance after having given
notice of its intention to borrow (whether by reason of the election of the
Borrower not to proceed or the non-fulfillment of any conditions precedent), or
(ii) prepayment of any Eurodollar Advance in whole or in part, for any reason,
the Borrower agrees to pay to such Revolving Credit Lender, upon such Revolving
Credit Lender's demand, an amount sufficient to compensate such Revolving Credit
Lender for all such losses and actual expenses excluding lost profits. Such
Revolving Credit Lender's good faith determination of the amount of such losses
and actual expenses, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive. The
Revolving Credit Lender shall provide a copy of the determination of such amount
to the Borrower showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount
thereof.

        (e)     Yield Maintenance as to Eurodollar Advances.

                (i)     Unavailability. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein which may be construed to the contrary, if with respect to any proposed
Eurodollar Loans for any Eurodollar Loan Period, the Agent determines that
deposits in dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to the
Agent in the relevant market for such Eurodollar Loan Period, the Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until
the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
situation no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make such types of
Eurodollar Loans (including Eurodollar Advances) shall be suspended.

                (ii)    Illegality. If any applicable law, rule, or regulation,
or any change therein, or any interpretation or change in interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency,
shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund
its Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall so notify the Agent, and the Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Before
giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 3.5(e)(ii), such Lender
shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the
need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise

28
<PAGE>   38

materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice,
notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3, the Borrower shall repay in
full the then outstanding principal amount of each affected Eurodollar Loan of
such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon, either (a) on the last day
of the then current Eurodollar Loan Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Loan to
such day or (b) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and
maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such day; provided, however, that
notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender for any losses,
including any loss or expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation,
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired to obtain the Eurodollar Loan,
incurred as a consequence of any required conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a
Base Rate Loan as hereinafter provided, as a result of the events described in
this Section 3.5. Concurrently with repaying each affected Eurodollar Loan of
such Lender, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3, the Borrower shall
borrow a Base Rate Loan (or the other type of Eurodollar Loan, if available)
from such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Loan in an amount such that
the outstanding principal amount of the Note held by such Lender shall equal the
outstanding principal amount of such Note immediately prior to such repayment.

        (iii)   Increased Costs.

        (a)     If, after the date hereof, any applicable law, rule, or
regulation, or any change therein, or any interpretation or change in
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or
not having any such authority), central bank or comparable agency shall:

                1.      subject any Lender to any tax, duty, or other charge
with respect to its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances, or its Eurodollar
Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the
principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Advances or in respect of any other
amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Advances or its
obligation to make Eurodollar Advances (except for taxes imposed upon or
measured by net income or alternative minimum taxable income or taxable assets
in lieu of income imposed by the United States and the jurisdiction in which
such Lender's principal executive office is located); or

                2.      impose, modify, or deem applicable with respect to the
making, funding or maintaining any Advance hereunder, any reserve (including,
without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, but excluding any included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve
Percentage), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment, or other requirement
or condition against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
commitments or credit extended by any Lender, or shall impose on any Lender or
the Eurodollar interbank borrowing market any other condition affecting its
obligation to make such Eurodollar Advances or its Eurodollar Advances; and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making
or maintaining any such Eurodollar Advances, or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Notes
with respect thereto, and such increase is not given effect in the determination
of the

29
<PAGE>   39

Eurodollar Rate then, on the earlier of thirty (30) days after written demand by
such Lender or the Maturity Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as such Lender determines is attributable to
making, funding and maintaining its Eurodollar Advances provided that the Lender
provides notice to the Borrower of such amount within ninety (90) days of the
date of the actual knowledge of the Lender of the occurrence of the event giving
rise to such cost. Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent
of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which
will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.5 and will
designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

        (b)     A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this
Section 3.5(e)(iii)(b) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be
paid to it hereunder and calculations therefor shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods and shall calculate such sums in a
fair and reasonable manner. If any Lender demands compensation under this
Section 3.5(e)(iii)(b), the Borrower may at any time, upon at least five (5)
Business Days prior notice to such Lender, prepay in full the then outstanding
affected Eurodollar Advances of such Lender, together with accrued interest
thereon to the date of prepayment, along with any payments required under
Section 5.8. Concurrently with prepaying such Eurodollar Advances, the Borrower
shall borrow a Base Rate Advance, or a Eurodollar Advance not so affected, from
such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Advance in an amount such that the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Lender shall equal the
outstanding principal amount of such Notes immediately prior to such prepayment.

        (iv)    Effect On Other Advances. If notice has been given pursuant to
Section 3.5(e)(iii), suspending the obligation of any Lender to make any type of
Eurodollar Loan, or requiring Eurodollar Loans of any Lender to be repaid or
prepaid, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, all Loans which
would otherwise be made by such Lender as to the type of Eurodollar Loans
affected shall, at the option of the Borrower, be made instead as Base Rate
Loans.

        (f)     Notification of Lenders. Upon receipt of a (i) request for
Advance or a telephone or telecopy request for Advance or (ii) notice from the
Borrower with respect to any outstanding Advance prior to the Payment Date for
such Advance, the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by
telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof and the amount of each Revolving
Credit Lender's portion of any such Advance. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall,
not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the date specified for such Advance in
such notice, make available to the Agent at the Agent's office, or at such
account as the Agent shall designate, the amount of such Revolving Credit
Lender's portion of the Advance in immediately available funds.

        (g)     Disbursement. Prior to 3:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the date of an
Advance hereunder, the Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 3.5(f), disburse the amounts made available to
the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders in like funds

30

<PAGE>   40

by transferring the amounts so made available by deposit into the Borrower's
account maintained with Fleet or by wire transfer pursuant to the Borrower's
instructions. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving
Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the date of any Advance that
such Revolving Credit Lender will not make available to the Agent such Revolving
Credit Lender's ratable portion of such Advance, the Agent may assume that such
Revolving Credit Lender has made or will make such portion available to the
Agent on the date of such Advance and the Agent may, in its sole discretion and
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall
not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Revolving
Credit Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Agent, (x) for the first two (2) Business Days, at the rate on
overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System
arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published for such day by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, and (y) thereafter, at the Base Rate. If such
Revolving Credit Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such
amount so repaid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender's portion of the
applicable Advance for purposes of this Agreement, and if both such Revolving
Credit Lender and the Borrower shall pay and repay such corresponding amount,
the Agent shall promptly relend to the Borrower such corresponding amount. If
such Revolving Credit Lender does not repay such corresponding amount
immediately upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall notify the
Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to
the Agent. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to fund its portion of any
Advance shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation,
if any, hereunder to fund its respective portion of the Advance on the date of
such borrowing, but no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for any such
failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender. In the event that a Revolving
Credit Lender for any reason fails or refuses to fund its portion of an Advance
in violation of this Agreement, then, until such time as such Revolving Credit
Lender has funded its portion of such Advance, or all other Revolving Credit
Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of
the principal and interest due in respect of such Advance, the percentage of any
Revolving Credit Lender's portion of the requested Advance shall be grossed up
on a pro rata basis to reflect the suspension of the non-funding Revolving
Credit Lender and such non-funding Revolving Credit Lender shall (i) have no
right to vote regarding any issue on which voting is required or advisable under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall not be entitled to
receive any payments of principal, interest or fees from the Agent (or the other
Lenders) in respect of its Loans, which amounts may be applied by the Agent for
the benefit of the Agent and the other Lenders in accordance with the provisions
of Section 12.5 and thereafter in a manner determined by the Agent in its sole
discretion. In no event, however, shall any Lender be required to fund any
amounts in excess of its Commitment Percentage.

        Section 3.6 Interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.8,
interest on the principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances outstanding
from time to time shall bear interest, and shall be payable as follows:

                (a)     On Base Rate Advances. Interest on each Base Rate
Advance shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of
a hypothetical year of three

31
<PAGE>   41
        Promptly after calculating the amount of interest then due and owing,
the Agent shall provide a written statement to the Borrower, with a copy to the
Lenders, showing the basis for such calculation. The Agent, the Lenders and the
Borrower acknowledge that as of the Effective Date the Standard & Poor's rating
of the Loans is BB- and, accordingly, the applicable margins, subject to the
foregoing, are as follows: Base Rate Margin: .25% and Eurodollar Margin: 2.75%.
No pricing modification pursuant to this subsection shall be applicable to any
existing Eurodollar Advance prior to its expiration. The pricing modifications
set forth in this subsection shall not be applicable at the time that the
Default Rate is applicable.

        Section 3.7 Funds for Revolving Credit Loans.

        Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of
any Revolving Credit Advances, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders will make
available to the Agent, at its Head Office, in immediately available funds, the
amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amount of
the requested Revolving Credit Advances. Upon receipt from each Revolving Credit
Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by Section 9
and Section 10 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein,
to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the
aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Advances made available to the Agent
by the Revolving Credit Lenders. The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit
Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any
Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving
Credit Advances shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender from its
several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such
other Revolving Credit Lender's Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving
Credit Advances.

        Section 3.8 Letters of Credit.

                (a)     Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Reimbursement
Agreement, upon the written request of the Borrower to the Agent and the
execution and delivery of a Reimbursement Agreement by the Borrower to the
Agent, the Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, agrees to issue
with pro rata participation by the Revolving Credit Lenders on any Business Day,
but prior to the Maturity Date, one (1) or more irrevocable stand-by Letters of
Credit in such form as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent;
provided, however, that (i) the aggregate Maximum Drawing Amount of all Letters
of Credit shall not exceed $30,000,000.00 at any one time outstanding and (ii)
the sum of (x) the Maximum Drawing Amount and (y) Outstanding Revolving Credit
Advances shall not at any time exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. Each written
request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder shall be received by
the Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of
issuance. The expiration dates, amounts and beneficiaries of the Letters of
Credit will be as agreed by the Borrower and the Agent. No Letter of Credit
shall have an expiration date later than the earlier of (i) the date one (1)
year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit or (ii) seven (7)
Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued
pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement to be entered into between the Borrower
and the Agent (for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders); provided,
however, that to the extent that the terms

33

<PAGE>   42

and conditions of any Reimbursement Agreement are in conflict with or are
inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the obligations of
the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower with respect to the Letters of
Credit shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                (b)     Non-Renewal; Cash Collateral. The Agent may, at its
option, elect not to renew any Letter of Credit by giving written notice of
non-renewal to the Borrower at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may, in its discretion at any time and
from time to time while there exists any Default or Event of Default, make a
Revolving Credit Advance in an amount equal to all or any portion of the Maximum
Drawing Amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit hereunder, and hold the
proceeds thereof in an interest bearing account as collateral security for such
Obligations (and such account shall be subject to the Agent's right to setoff
against such amounts under Section 13), provided that the Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower of such Advance and application of the proceeds thereof and
further provided that all interest earned on proceeds so held shall be applied
as and when available to reduce any Obligations outstanding hereunder or, if
there are no Obligations outstanding, shall be paid over to the Borrower.

                (c)     Effects of Drawings. Upon each drawing under a Letter of
Credit and each termination of a Letter of Credit pursuant to its terms, the
un-reimbursed amount of the drawing shall automatically be converted into a
Revolving Credit Advance made on the date of such drawing or such termination.
The liability of the Borrower under this Agreement to repay the Revolving Credit
Lenders in respect of drawings under Letters of Credit shall be Obligations
secured pursuant to the Security Documents and such liability shall rank pari
passu with the obligations of the Borrower to repay all other Revolving Credit
Advances hereunder.

                (d)     Limited Advance. The Borrower shall only be entitled to
a Limited Advance in the event that the Borrower or other members of the
Consolidated Group are not in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.6 at
any time.

        Section 4 SENIOR AMORTIZING TERM LOAN.

        Section 4.1 Commitment to Lend and Borrower's Promise to Pay. Subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders have
made Loans to the Borrower with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of Two
Hundred Fifty Million and no/100 Dollars ($250,000,000.00) (the "Senior
Amortizing Term Loan"). The Senior Amortizing Term Loan shall mature and become
due and payable on the Maturity Date. Borrower agrees to pay all Obligations on
or before the Maturity Date.

        Section 4.2 The Senior Amortizing Term Note(s). The Senior Amortizing
Term Loan shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in
substantially the form of Exhibit C (each, a "Senior Amortizing Term Note"),
dated as of the Closing Date and completed with appropriate insertions. One (1)
Senior Amortizing Term Note shall be payable to the order of the each Term Loan
Lender in a principal amount equal to such Term Loan Lender's Senior Amortizing
Term Loan Commitment plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. In the
event a Senior Amortizing Term Note is lost, destroyed or mutilated at any time
prior to payment

34
<PAGE>   43

in full of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, the Borrower shall execute a new
note substantially in the form of such Senior Amortizing Term Note. The
replacement Senior Amortizing Term Note shall recite the circumstances of the
reissue of the Senior Amortizing Term Note and shall state that it is a
replacement promissory note. The Senior Amortizing Term Notes shall not be
necessary to establish the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Term Loan Lenders
on account of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan made under this Agreement.

        Section 4.3 Loan Account; Certain Prepayments. The Agent will open and
maintain a loan account (the "Senior Amortizing Term Loan Account") on its books
in the name of the Borrower. The outstanding principal amount of the Senior
Amortizing Term Loan and all fees and other amounts due and payable hereunder
will be debited to and each payment or prepayment on account thereof will be
credited to, and shall be recorded in, the Senior Amortizing Term Loan Account.
Any failure of the Agent to record a transaction in a timely fashion shall not
affect or impair the validity of any Obligation. The Agent shall render to the
Borrower a monthly statement of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan Account and,
unless written exception thereto is taken by the Borrower within forty-five (45)
days of receipt, such statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Borrower except for manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the
Agent to render any such statement in a timely fashion shall not impair the
validity or binding nature of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan Account.

        The Borrower shall have the right, at any time, to prepay the principal
balance of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan in whole (provided each such partial
payment is in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 and integral multiples of
$100,000.00), but only upon paying, together with such prepayment, any amounts
due and owing pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.8. The Borrower shall
provide three (3) Business Days advance written, telegraphic or telephonic
notice to the Agent prior to making any prepayment. No amounts paid by the
Borrower on the Senior Amortizing Term Loan, whether required interest
installments, principal installments or prepayments, may be reborrowed.

        Section 4.4 Interest.

        Subject to Section 5.8, the Senior Amortizing Term Loan shall bear
interest at the following rates:

                (a)     To the extent that all or any portion of the Senior
Amortizing Term Loan bears interest with reference to the Base Rate, the Senior
Amortizing Term Loan or such portion shall bear interest at the rate of one-half
percent (.5%) per annum above the Base Rate.

                (b)     To the extent that all or any portion of the Senior
Amortizing Term Loan bears interest during any Eurodollar Loan Period with
reference to the Eurodollar Rate, the Senior Amortizing Term Loan or such
portion shall bear interest during the applicable Eurodollar Loan Period at the
rate of three percent (3%) per annum above the Eurodollar Basis determined for
such Eurodollar Loan Period.

                (c)     The interest rate established in accordance with (a) and
(b) above, is subject to modifications as provided in Section 3.6(c).
Furthermore, the Agent, the Lenders and the

35
<PAGE>   44

Borrower acknowledge that as of the Effective Date the Standard & Poor's rating
of the Loans is BB- and, accordingly, the applicable margins, subject to the
foregoing, are as follows: Base Rate Margin: .25% and Eurodollar Margin: 2.75%.

                (d)     Interest on the Senior Amortizing Term Loan shall be
payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month for the
immediately preceding month, commencing on the first such date subsequent to the
Effective Date, with a final payment on the Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby
promises to pay interest on the Senior Amortizing Term Loan in the amount and at
the times set forth herein.

        Section 4.5 Eurodollar Rate Determinations with respect to the Senior
Amortizing Term Loan.

                (a)     Eurodollar Portions of Senior Amortizing Term Loans.

                        (i)     Initial and Subsequent Eurodollar Portions of
Senior Amortizing Term Loans. The Borrower shall give the Agent in the case of
Eurodollar portions of Senior Amortizing Term Loans at least three (3) Business
Days irrevocable prior notice by telephone or telecopy and shall immediately
confirm any such telephone notice with a written request for conversion to a
Eurodollar Loan; provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to confirm
any notice by telephone or telecopy with a request for a Eurodollar Loan shall
not invalidate any notice so given. The Agent, whose determination shall be
conclusive, shall determine the Eurodollar Basis as of the second (2nd) Business
Day prior to the date of the requested Eurodollar Loan conversion and shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the same, and the Borrower shall promptly
confirm in writing receipt of such notification. The Eurodollar Loan Period for
each portion of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan to be converted to a Eurodollar
Loan shall in all events be either one (1), two (2) or three (3) months. Upon
receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Agent shall promptly notify each
Term Loan Lender by telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof.

                        (ii)    Procedures After Expiration of Conversion to
Eurodollar Loan Portion of Senior Amortizing Term Loan. At least three (3)
Business Days prior to each Conversion Date, the Borrower shall give the Agent
written notice specifying whether all or a portion of any Eurodollar Loan
outstanding on the Conversion Date (a) is to be rolled over in whole or in part
as a new Eurodollar Loan, in which case such notice shall also specify the
Eurodollar Loan Period which the Borrower shall have selected for such new
Eurodollar Loan, or (b) is to be converted in whole or in part as a Base Rate
Loan. Upon such Conversion Date, such Eurodollar Loan will, subject to the
provisions hereof, be so rolled over or converted.

                        (iii)   Limitations as to Eurodollar Loans. Each
Eurodollar Loan with respect to the Senior Amortizing Term Loan shall be in a
principal amount of no less than $1,000,000.00 and in integral multiples of
$100,000.00, and at no time shall the aggregate number of all such Eurodollar
Loans then outstanding exceed three (3). Requests for Eurodollar Loans may be
made daily, provided the Borrower satisfies all notice requirements as provided
for herein.

36

<PAGE>   45

                (b)     The provisions of Section 3.5(e) as to Advances under
the Revolving Credit Loan shall also apply to the Eurodollar portions of the
Senior Amortizing Term Loan.

                (c)     The provisions of this Section 4.5(c) shall not operate
as a reborrowing or repayment of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan subject to
reborrowing but shall in all instances constitute an option of the Borrower to
convert a portion of the Indebtedness included in the Senior Amortizing Term
Loan to a Eurodollar Loan. In this instance, the applicable Eurodollar Loan
shall be a portion of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan and shall not constitute a
readvance of all or any portion of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan. The Borrower
and Agent acknowledge and recognize that all proceeds of the Senior Amortizing
Term Loan have been advanced on even date and are not subject to readvancement.

        Section 4.6 Principal. The Borrower shall make mandatory principal
installment payments to the Agent on account of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan
in the minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000.00 on each January 31 and July 31
during the term of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan, commencing January 31, 2002
(the "Minimum Senior Amortizing Term Loan Paydowns"). The outstanding principal
balance of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan shall be payable in periodic
installments in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2. All amounts
applied by the Agent to the outstanding principal balance of the Senior
Amortizing Term Loan under Section 7.3 shall be credited against the Minimum
Senior Amortizing Term Loan Paydowns in chronological order. The Borrower shall
pay the unpaid balance of each annual Minimum Senior Amortizing Term Loan
Paydown in a single payment on January 31, 2002 and on every July 31 and January
31 thereafter during the term of the Senior Amortizing Term Loan. In the event
the Borrower has not made the Minimum Senior Amortizing Term Loan Paydowns when
due, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) make a Revolving Credit
Advance in an amount equal to the amount of the Minimum Senior Amortizing Term
Loan Paydown then due.

        In the event that the Borrowing Base is insufficient to support the
existing amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, the Borrower
shall also make a mandatory principal payment in the amount required to cause
the Borrowing Base to be sufficient to justify the amount of outstanding
principal balance of the Loans.

        Section 5     FEES.

        Section 5.1 Origination Fee. The Borrower has paid to Fleet and Lead
Arranger the fees in accordance with the Fee and Expense Agreement
(collectively, "Origination Fee").

        Section 5.2 Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to the Agent, a
commitment fee ("Commitment Fee") payable quarterly in arrears on the first day
of the succeeding Fiscal Quarter and on the Maturity Date. The Commitment Fee
shall be distributed, pro rata, to the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. The amount of the Commitment
Fee shall be calculated as follows: for any Fiscal Quarter, the product of the
Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage times the Average Daily Non-Usage Amount.
The Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be identified as follows:

                (a)     One-half percent (.5%), if the Average Daily Non-Usage
Amount

37
<PAGE>   46

is greater than sixty percent (60%) of the Scheduled Revolving Credit
Commitment Amount; or

                (b)     Three-tenths percent (.3%), if otherwise.

        Section 5.3 Agent's Fee. The Borrower shall pay to Fleet annually, in
advance, for the Agent's own account, an Agent's Fee in accordance with the Fee
and Expense Agreement ("Agent's Fee").

        Section 5.4 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a
fee (collectively, "Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter of Credit issued
pursuant to this Agreement to be calculated at the rate of one and three-fourths
percent (1.75%) per annum on the Maximum Drawing Amount, plus the Agent's
customary issuance fee, payable in accordance with the Agent's standard fee
schedule. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the
first day of the succeeding calendar quarter succeeding the date of issuance and
upon the date of renewal for the renewal term of any Letter of Credit. Upon
receipt of such Letter of Credit Fee (but not issuance fee), the Agent shall
remit to each Revolving Credit Lender that has a Revolving Credit Commitment its
pro rata portion of the Letter of Credit Fee based on its percentage of the
Revolving Credit Commitment less one-eighth (.125%) percent.

        Section 5.5 Additional Amounts Payable on Account of Credit Facilities.
The Agent or any Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower if any Lender or the
Agent shall have determined that any applicable law enacted by the United
States, any federal agency, any state, or political subdivision thereof,
including any rule, regulation, guideline, directive or request regarding
capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or subsidiaries of bank
holding companies, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency in the United States charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Lender or the Agent with any of the foregoing,
(collectively, "Applicable Laws") imposes or increases a requirement by any
Lender or the Agent to allocate capital resources to the commitment of such
Lender to make or issue, or to the maintenance by such Lender or the Agent of,
Loans hereunder, and such Lender or Agent has determined in good faith that
would have the effect of reducing the return on the capital of such Lender or
the Agent to a level below that which such Lender or the Agent could have
achieved (taking into consideration the then existing policies of such Lender or
the Agent with respect to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of the
capital of such Lender or the Agent) but for such applicability, change,
interpretation, administration or compliance, by any amount deemed in good faith
by such Lender or the Agent to be material, and which is not reflected in an
increase in the Base Rate or Eurodollar Basis, as the case may be. The Borrower
and such Lender or as the case may be, shall thereafter attempt to negotiate in
good faith an adjustment to the compensation payable hereunder which will
adequately compensate such Lender for such modification. If the Borrower and
such Lender are unable to agree to such adjustment within ninety (90) days of
the day on which the Borrower shall receive such written notice, then commencing
on the date of such notice (but not earlier than the effective date of any such
applicability, change, interpretation, administration or compliance), then the
fees payable hereunder shall increase by an amount which will, in the reasonable
determination of such Lender, compensate such Lender for such modification. In
determining the amount of income, the Lender may use any reasonable and
equitable methods of averaging, allocating or attributing

38
<PAGE>   47

such modification among its customers.

        The affected Lender shall deliver to the Borrower a certificate
demonstrating the calculation of the amount of such increased fees. The Borrower
shall be required to pay the increased amount within fifteen (15) days after its
receipt of such certificate.

        Section 5.6 Additional Costs and Expenses; Reserve Requirements. If any
Applicable Laws shall:

                (a)     subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax (other than
income tax), levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any
nature with respect to the Loans or deposits obtained to fund Loans; or

                (b)     materially change the basis of taxation of payments to
any Lender of the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts
payable to any Lender hereunder (other than changes relating to taxes based on
the net income of such Lender or the Agent); or

                (c)     impose or render applicable any special deposit or
reserve or similar requirement (whether or not having the force of law) against
the Loans or loans of the type contemplated hereby made by the Lenders; or

                (d)     impose on any Lender any other conditions or
requirements with respect to the Loans or any class of loans of which the Loans
form a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
any Lender of making the Loans or Revolving Credit Advances, or to reduce the
amount of principal, interest, or other amount payable to such Lender or the
Agent hereunder, or to require such Lender to make any payment or to forego any
interest or other sum payable hereunder, and which is not reflected in an
increase in the Base Rate or Eurodollar Basis, as the case may be, the amount of
which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to
the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender from
the Borrower hereunder, then, such Lender will notify the Borrower within ninety
(90) days of the date of the actual knowledge of the Lender of the occurrence of
such event, and the Borrower and such Lender shall thereafter attempt to
negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the compensation payable hereunder
which will adequately compensate such Lender for such reduction or payment. If
the Lender and the Borrower are unable to agree to such adjustment within ninety
(90) days of the date of such notice, the Borrower will, upon written demand
made by such Lender at any time and from time to time thereafter, pay to such
Lender such additional amounts as will be sufficient in the good faith opinion
of such Lender to compensate the Lender for such additional cost, reduction,
payment or foregone interest or other sum. In determining the amount of such
compensation, such Lender or the Agent may use any reasonable and equitable
methods of averaging, allocating or attributing such amounts to its customers.

        The affected Lender shall deliver to the Borrower a certificate
demonstrating the calculation of the amount of such increased payment. The
Borrower shall pay such amount within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of
this certificate.

39
<PAGE>   48

        Section 5.7 Indemnification. If, due to prepayments made by Borrower or
due to acceleration of the maturity date of any Eurodollar Loans pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or due to any other reason, including without
limitation the events specified above, but subject to the provisions of Section
3.5 (e) (ii), the Agent receives payments of principal other than on a required
principal payments due date under this Agreement, the Borrower shall, upon
demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent any amounts required to compensate any
Lender for any losses, costs or expenses which such Lender may reasonably incur
as a result of such prepayment, including without limitation, any loss, costs or
expenses incurred by reason of liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain its portion of the Eurodollar
Loans. Such compensation and the compensation provided for elsewhere in this
Agreement shall include, without limitation, an amount calculated as follows:

                (a)     First, the Agent shall determine the amount by which (i)
the total amount of interest which would have otherwise accrued hereunder on
each installment of principal so paid, during the period beginning on the date
of such payment and ending on the date such installment would have been due (the
"Reemployment Period"), exceeds (ii) the total amount of interest which would
accrue during the Reemployment Period, on a deposit in the interbank Eurodollar
borrowing market in an amount equal (as nearly as may be) to the amount of
principal so paid and to have a maturity comparable to the Reemployment Period.
Each such amount is hereafter referred to as an "Installment Amount."

                (b)     Second, each Installment Amount shall be treated as
payable as of the date on which the related principal installment would have
been payable by the Borrower had such principal installment not been prepaid.

                (c)     Third, the amount to be paid on each such date shall be
the present value of the Installment Amount determined by discounting the amount
thereof from the date on which such Installment Amount is to be treated as
payable, at the same annual interest rate as that payable upon the interbank
Eurodollar deposit designated as aforesaid by the Agent.

                (d)     Fourth, no portion of the principal installments
required pursuant to Section 4.6 and Section 7.2 shall be considered prepayments
of the principal of the Eurodollar Loans. The application by the Agent to the
Eurodollar Loans principal of any proceeds of insurance or awards from
condemnation or other taking by eminent domain shall be not considered a
prepayment of the principal of the Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section
5.7.

        Section 5.8 Interest on Overdue Amounts. Overdue principal and (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Loans and all other overdue
amounts payable hereunder arising from the occurrence of an Event of Default
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%) plus the Base
Rate, compounded daily and payable on demand, to accrue from the due date
thereof until the Obligation of the Borrower with respect to the payment thereof
shall be discharged, whether before or after judgment ("Default Rate").

        Section 6 PAYMENTS; COMPUTATIONS; AND INTEREST LIMITATION.

40
<PAGE>   49

        Section 6.1 Payments. All payments of principal and interest on the
Loans, Fees, and any other amounts due hereunder shall be made by the Borrower
to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, in
immediately available funds at 1 Federal Street (MABE10307C), Boston,
Massachusetts 02110 ("Payment Office") (MABE10307C). As provided in Section
3.5(a), whenever any such Obligation is due and payable, the Agent may (but
shall not be required to) make a Revolving Credit Advance in the amount of such
Obligation and apply the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advance to the payment
of the Obligation, provided that the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of
any such Revolving Credit Advance and the application of the proceeds thereof.
Upon receipt by the Agent of any such payment of principal, interest or fees
(other than fees or expenses to be retained by Agent pursuant to the terms
thereof), the Agent shall, subject to the applicable settlement provisions of
Section 18.5, remit to each other Lender its applicable pro rata share of such
payment.

        Section 6.2 Computations. All computations of (a) interest on the Loans,
(b) the Fees, and (c) any other amount due hereunder shall be based on a three
hundred sixty (360) day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
Whenever a payment hereunder becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day,
the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension.

        Section 6.3 Interest Limitation. Notwithstanding any other term of this
Agreement or any other document referred to herein or therein, the maximum
amount of interest which may be charged to or collected from any person liable
hereunder by the Agent shall be absolutely limited to, and shall in no event
exceed, the maximum amount of interest which could lawfully be charged or
collected under applicable law, so that the maximum of all amounts constituting
interest under applicable law, howsoever computed, shall never exceed as to any
person liable therefor such lawful maximum, and any term of this Agreement or
any other document referred to herein or therein which could be construed as
providing for interest in excess of such lawful maximum shall be and hereby is
made expressly subject to and modified by the provisions of this paragraph.

        Section 7 SECURITY, GUARANTIES AND DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT.

        Section 7.1 Security. The Obligations shall be secured by a blanket
perfected first in priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens)
in favor of the Agent for the benefit of each of the Lenders on all of the
assets of the Property Owners and the Pledgor Subsidiaries. The Borrower hereby
warrants that it is compliance with the provisions of the foregoing sentence of
this Section 7.1 except for the assets described in Schedule 7.1 which are
encumbered by liens in favor of Persons other than the Agent. The provisions of
this Section 7.1 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.10 (o) and
(p). Without limitation, the assets to be pledged shall include the Mortgaged
Properties, all Receivables and other rights of the Property Owners and the
Pledgor Subsidiaries to receive payments and proceeds with respect to any part
of the Mortgaged Properties or assets pledged by the Pledgor Subsidiaries, all
cash of the Consolidated Group, including that received from the operation of
their businesses and properties (but subject to the rights of a creditor
pursuant to a Permitted Lien under Section 11.9), all rights of the Property
Owners under any mortgage, deed of trust or other security documents executed in
connection with the sale of any assets subject to the Mortgage or other Security
Documents, all trademarks and other intangible rights

41
<PAGE>   50

(including, without limitation, the rights of each member of the Consolidated
Group to all the names or trade names owned or used by such member of the
Consolidated Group but subject to rights of a creditor pursuant to a Permitted
Lien under Section 11.9) pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents. The
Security Documents are described on Schedule 7. BCG has executed this Agreement,
among other reasons, to evidence its agreement to the pledges and granting of
security interests represented by the BCG Security Agreements and to enter into
and deliver the BCG Guaranty and the BCG Security Agreements at Closing, to
acknowledge and agree to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement
and to ratify and agree to the representations and warranties contained herein.
CFC has executed this Agreement, among other reasons, to evidence its agreement
to the pledges and granting of security interests represented by the Mortgage
and to enter into and deliver the CFC Guaranty and the Mortgage on the
Modification Date, to acknowledge and agree to the remaining terms and
conditions of this Agreement and to ratify and agree to the representations and
warranties contained herein.

        All amounts owing with respect to the Obligations shall be secured pro
rata by the Collateral without distinction as to whether some Obligations are
then due and payable and other Obligations are not then due and payable,
provided that all costs and expenses as provided in Section 15 shall first be
paid before any proceeds are applied to any other Obligations.

        Section 7.2 Guaranty. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
of any of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the
Agent a Guaranty of Payment and Performance in form and substance acceptable to
the Agent. Each of such entities in existence as of the date hereof shall
execute and deliver such guaranty to the Agent on or before the date hereof.
Thereafter, as a condition to the formation of any Subsidiary, the Borrower
shall cause the Subsidiary upon formation to execute and deliver a guaranty
required by this Section 7.2 to the Agent.

        Section 7.3 Depository Account and Working Capital Account.

                (a)     Borrower shall establish at one (1) or more banking
institutions selected by Borrower and approved by the Agent (each called a
"Depository") special deposit accounts in the name of Borrower and for the
benefit of the Agent from which withdrawals may be made only to the Working
Capital Account (each called a "Depository Account"). Unless otherwise directed
by the Agent, at the close of each Business Day, the Consolidated Group shall
promptly deposit all cash, checks and other payments or proceeds received by it
from the operation of its business or the Properties and all payments made under
any Housing Purchase Agreement, other than deposits required to be held in third
party escrows, Receivable or other agreement or instrument assigned to the Agent
as Collateral directly into the Depository Account. The Agent may, following
written notice to the Borrower, revoke the designation of any Depository Account
or designate substitute or additional Depository Accounts. The foregoing
requirement shall not be applicable to a member of the Consolidated Group at any
time that it is a party to a Permitted Lien which requires payment of its cash
in a manner contrary to the provisions of this Section 7.3.

                (b)     Until the Agent, by written notice to the Borrower given
at any

42

<PAGE>   51

time, requests that the obligors under the Collateral Documents be notified of
the Agent's security interest, the Borrower shall cause all payments due
thereunder to be made to a Depository Account or to specified post office boxes
or other locations approved by the Agent. The Consolidated Group shall hold all
proceeds of collection received by it at any time as trustee for the Lenders
without commingling the same with other funds of any member of the Consolidated
Group and shall turn such funds over to the Agent, or deposit such funds in a
Depository Account, immediately upon receipt in the identical form received.
Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Agent may, at any time and at its option,
exercisable by notice to the Borrower, direct all or any member of the
Consolidated Group to cease collection of payments made to such designated
locations, and allow the Agent sole access to such locations for the purpose of
accepting and collecting such payments and applying the collected proceeds to
reduce the Obligations. The Consolidated Group shall, following the occurrence
of a Default or Event of Default hereunder, if requested to do so by the Agent,
notify the obligors under the Collateral Documents of the security interest of
the Agent therein and that payments due thereunder are to be made directly to
the Agent. At any time after making such a request of the Borrower, the Agent
may itself, without further notice to or demand upon the Borrower, so notify the
obligors under the Collateral Documents. The collection of payments directly by
the Agent in any manner permitted hereunder shall in no respect affect the
duties of the Consolidated Group (i) to continue to render all reasonable
assistance to the Agent in the collection of amounts due under the Collateral
Documents and (ii) to fulfill its obligations as trustee for the Lenders
described above with respect to proceeds of collection of amounts under any
Collateral Documents and other payments received by the Consolidated Group.

                (c)     In the event that (i) no Default or Event of Default
exists; (ii) Unfunded Revolving Credit Availability is equal to $200,000,000.00;
and (iii) a Property Owner has received net sales proceeds from the sale of any
Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, then upon all of such conditions
occurring, the Borrower shall be entitled to deposit an unlimited amount of such
net proceeds in the Working Capital Account rather than applying such proceeds
as a prepayment to the Senior Amortizing Term Loan. Upon deposit, the funds
shall be applied in accordance with and governed by the other provisions of this
Agreement applicable to proceeds in the Working Capital Account.

                (d)     The proceeds of the Depository Accounts shall be paid to
the Working Capital Account either: (i) at the direction of the Agent upon the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or (ii) or, otherwise, at such times
and procedures as the Agent may from time to time direct. The Agent shall credit
the proceeds of collection and other monies received by it hereunder as follows:

                        (i)     If no Default or Event of Default then exists,
or unless directed by the Borrower to apply such proceeds to reduce the
Revolving Credit Loan or Senior Amortizing Term Loan, the proceeds shall be
transferred to a checking account maintained by the Borrower in its name with
the Agent at the Agent's Head Office (herein called the "Working Capital
Account"), subject to the limitation that the balance available to the Borrower
in the Working Capital Account shall at no time exceed $10,000,000.00. Any
excess amounts paid to or held by the Agent either in the Working Capital
Account or otherwise shall be applied against the Loans in accordance with the
provisions hereof. The amounts on deposit at any time in the

43
<PAGE>   52

Working Capital Account shall serve as collateral security for the Obligations
and shall be subject to the Lenders' right of setoff under Section 13, and shall
not be subject to the one (1) day notice required in the next sentence. Prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default or the termination of those rights at the
Agent's unilateral recission of such rights, upon one (1) day notice to Borrower
by Agent, the Borrower shall be entitled to draw upon funds in the Working
Capital Account for any purpose for which it would be entitled to use proceeds
of the Loans. All funds held in the Working Capital Account shall be invested by
the Agent at the direction of the Borrower in obligations issued or guaranteed
by the United States of America or in repurchase agreements for such securities
or as otherwise agreed by the Agent, and the Borrower from time to time and all
income and expense thereof shall be paid to or by Borrower as received or
incurred by deposit or charge thereof to the Working Capital Account.

                        (ii)    To the extent such proceeds are not deposited in
the Working Capital Account pursuant to (i) above, such proceeds shall be
credited to reduce the Revolving Credit Loan and the Senior Amortizing Term Loan
in such order as Borrower may direct. Such credits shall be entered on the first
Business Day after receipt thereof by the Agent at the Agent's Head Office in
immediately available funds.

                        (iii)   To the extent such proceeds are not credited to
reduce the Revolving Credit Loan or the Senior Amortizing Term Loan or deposited
in the Working Capital Account pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such proceeds
shall be credited to other Obligations then outstanding as of the first Business
Day after receipt by the Agent at the Agent's Head Office in immediately
available funds. If no Default or Event of Default is ongoing and uncured,
Borrower may, subject to the limitations herein, direct the application of such
proceeds to specific Obligations.

                        (iv)    If after applying the available proceeds in the
manner described in (i), (ii) and (iii) above, there are no Obligations
outstanding, and there exists no Default or Event of Default, such proceeds
shall be deposited to the Working Capital Account (whether or not such deposit
shall increase the available balance therein to an amount greater than
$10,000,000.00) and shall be invested and available for use by the Borrower as
provided in (i) above.

                        (v)     For so long as there is an ongoing and uncured
Default or Event of Default, all such proceeds shall be credited to reduce the
Loans proportionately, such credits to be entered as of the first Business Day
after receipt thereof by the Agent at the Agent's Head Office in immediately
available funds. Prior to the pendency of a Default, all such proceeds shall be
applied against the Revolving Credit Loan and thereafter, at the Borrower's
election, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 (c). Any funds not
applied in accordance with the previous sentence shall be applied to the Senior
Amortizing Term Loan. The provisions of this Section 7.3 are subject to the
provisions of Section 12.5.

        Section 8 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

        Each of the members of the Consolidated Group hereby represents and
warrants to the Lenders and the Agent as follows:

44
<PAGE>   53

particularly described on Schedule 8.15(a) (collectively, "DRIs"). Each of the

Neither the Property Owners nor any of the Pledgor Subsidiaries have received or

imposition of additional obligations with respect to the DRIs. The DRIs are
Vested.

                (b)     All of the Properties are zoned PUD, RPD or CPD pursuant
to PUD zoning approvals or conventional zoning from the applicable Governmental
Authority, except as identified on Schedule 8.15(b). No action is pending to
change or modify any zoning applicable to any of the Properties, except as set
forth on Schedule 8.15(c), and the zoning rights are Vested. The actions to
change or modify the zoning set forth on Schedule 8.15(c) will not adversely

the land or are freely assignable to the Agent and the Lenders, except as set
forth on Schedule 8.15(d), and the Property Owners have taken all required
actions necessary to perfect a first in priority security interest in the
Permits so that upon the succession to ownership of the Property by the Agent,
the Agent or its designee shall have full ownership and the right to use the
Permits without payment of additional fees, charges, or impositions other than
currently required to be paid by the Property Owners.

Pension Plan is, and has at all times been, in compliance in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, including without
limitation any minimum funding requirements applicable with respect to such
Pension Plan. Each Pension Plan is a defined contribution plan and not a

no reportable events within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA and the
regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to any Pension Plan.

                (b)     Each welfare plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA)

Consolidated Group or any member thereof is referred to herein as a "Welfare
Plan." No Welfare Plan is a multi-employer plan, and each Welfare Plan is, and
has at all times been, in compliance in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No member of the Consolidated Group
has any liability for post-retirement benefits provided or to be provided to
employees under any

49
<PAGE>   58

Welfare Plan, except to make available continuous coverage as and to the extent
required by the provisions regarding employee benefit plans set forth in Section
4980(B) of the Code.

                (c)     Except for the Pension Plans and the Welfare Plans, no

Plans or the Welfare Plans.

                (d)     The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not involve any
prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA.

                (e)     Except as disclosed in writing to the Agent prior to the
Effective Date, no member of the Consolidated Group has any obligation to make
severance payments or provide post-employment benefits pursuant to any contract
or other arrangement with any of its employees, officers or directors, excluding
the Pension Plans and Welfare Plans.

on the environment, or the business, assets or financial condition of any of the
Property Owners. The Existing Environmental Matters do not materially impact the

the Property Owners shall take all actions necessary to comply with all
compliance orders affecting the Collateral and cause the Existing Environmental
Matters to comply with all Environmental Laws.

                (b)     Except for the Existing Environmental Matters, none of

Consolidated Group shall maintain a Fiscal Year ending December 31 of each year.

               Section 11.33 Insurance. The Consolidated Group will maintain
with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with respect to its
properties and business against such casualties and contingencies including
windstorm insurance and as shall be in accordance with the general practices of
businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas, and in
amounts, containing such terms, in such forms and for such periods as may be
reasonable and prudent in accordance with sound business practices. With respect

such periods and written by such companies as may be reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent and (except for third-party liability insurance) shall be payable to
the Agent and to the respective member of the Consolidated Group, as the case
may be, as their interests may appear. The Agent may apply all proceeds received
by it to pay the Obligations in such order as it shall determine in its
discretion. All policies of insurance applicable to Watermark or the

cancellation notice to the Agent and shall name the Agent as additional insured
party, and, in the case of the Collateral, shall name the Agent as mortgagee and

settlement on account of any loss covered by such insurance applicable to
Watermark or the Consolidated Group shall be made without the consent of the

event of failure to provide and maintain insurance as herein provided, the Agent
may, at its option, after giving notice to the Borrower, as applicable, provide
such insurance and charge the amount thereof to the Borrower (including by
making a Revolving Credit Advance therefor). The Borrower shall furnish to the
Agent certificates or other evidence satisfactory to the Agent of compliance
with the foregoing insurance provision. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Consolidated Group will (i) keep all of Consolidated Group's physical property
insured against fire and extended coverage risks in amounts and with deductibles
and endorsements acceptable to the Agent (ii) maintain all such workers'
compensation or similar insurance as may be required by law, and (iii) maintain,
in amounts, deductibles and endorsements acceptable to the Agent, general public
liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage
occurring on, in or about the properties of the Consolidated Group's and
business interruption insurance, and (iv) in the event the Properties or any
portion thereof is located in a flood hazard area identified by the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards and in
which flood insurance has been

insurance policy and to all requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable

operation, maintenance or repair of all or any portion of the Properties.

shall become overdue, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges
imposed upon any of the Consolidated Group and their real properties, sales and

well as all claims for labor, materials or supplies that if unpaid might by law
become a lien or charge upon any of its property; provided that any such tax,
assessment, charge, levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount
thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and if the Borrower shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect thereto; and provided further that any of the Consolidated Group will
pay all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims forthwith upon the
commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as
security therefor.

subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on the
Consolidated Group's business, operations or financial condition or their
ability to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, (and will strictly comply with any applicable requirements of the
Interstate Land Sales Act, the Florida Land Sales Law and any other laws with
respect to land sales, including, without limitation, disclosure laws, in any
state in which it engages in business) and (ii) promptly obtain, maintain, apply
for renewal, and not allow to lapse, any authorization, consent, approval,
license or order, and accomplish any filing or registration with, any court or
Governmental Authority which may be or may become necessary in order that the
Consolidated Group perform all of their obligations under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents and in order that the same may be valid and binding and
effective in accordance with their terms and in order that the Agent and the
Lenders may be able freely to exercise and enforce any and all of their rights
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

               Section 11.37 Access. Except as otherwise required by applicable
law or regulation, the Consolidated Group will permit Agent, by its

financial records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with, and
to be advised as to the same by, its officers at such reasonable times and
intervals as the Agent may designate, all at the cost and expense of the
Borrower. The Consolidated Group authorizes the

accounts and other financial records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and
accounts with such potential purchaser at such reasonable times and intervals as
the Agent may request without charge to the Agent or such potential purchaser.

               Section 11.38 Equity. Each of the Ackerman Group and the Hoffman

11.39, none of the Consolidated Group will, without giving prior notice to the
Agent, establish, assume, maintain or contribute to any employee benefit plan
(as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA). None of the Consolidated
Group will permit any Pension Plan or Welfare Plan to (i) engage in a
"prohibited transaction" as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code
which would result in a liability for it; (ii) incur any "accumulated funding
deficiency", as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not
waived; or (iii) be terminated in a manner which would result in the imposition
of a lien or encumbrance on its assets pursuant to Section 4068 of ERISA.

               Section 11.40 Further Assurances. The Consolidated Group shall,
at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver such further instruments

limitation, execution and delivery of financing statements, assignments or other
instruments permitted or required to be filed with any public recording office
which the Agent deems appropriate to perfect and continue the perfection of the
security interests granted by the Security Documents, and the Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Agent, or its designee, at Borrower's expense, to
file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without any of the
Consolidated Group's signature, as the Agent may deem appropriate, and appoints
the Agent as such attorney-in-fact to execute such financing statements. Copies
of any such financing statements executed by the Agent as attorney-in-fact shall
be delivered promptly to the Borrower.

               Section 11.41 Intangible, Recording and Stamp Tax. The
Consolidated Group will promptly pay all Florida intangible taxes, recording

with the Agent in form and substance acceptable to the Agent ("Use Agreement').
The Use Agreement shall be for the purpose of establishing the joint use,
membership and other rights of the owners of any of the Collateral in any
Project affected by the Sun City Amenities. The Use Agreement shall be
applicable to any purchaser at any foreclosure sale of all or any portion of the
Sun City Amenities. Upon the release of the Sun City Amenities from the lien and
interest of the encumbrances securing the Textron Loan or any facility granted
to refinance the Textron Loan in the manner provided herein, the Borrower shall
cause Sun City Golf to grant to Agent a perfected first in priority security

                (p)     As of the Closing Date, (i) Hoffman holds the positions
of Chief Executive Officer of Borrower and Watermark and (ii) Ackerman holds the
positions of Chairman of the Board/Executive Vice President of Borrower and
Watermark. If for whatever reason, both Hoffman and Ackerman fail to hold their
respective positions in both of Watermark and Borrower (a "Management Change
Event") the following provisions shall be applicable. Borrower shall promptly
advise Agent of the occurrence of a Management Change Event. Thereafter, the
boards of directors of Watermark and Borrower shall evaluate the management
needs of such companies and take such action as the boards deem appropriate to
fill the position necessitated by the Management Change Event. Borrower
acknowledges that the person or persons selected to replace the office(s) held
by Hoffman and Ackerman, as the case may be, must be capable of leading the
affected companies, pursuing the Core Business of Borrower and furthering the
growth of such companies. If after six (6) months following a Management Change
Event, Agent is not reasonably satisfied that the boards of directors are
exercising good business judgment, then, provided that more than six (6) months
remains in the term of the Loans, Agent may require that the companies retain a
nationally recognized executive search firm or consulting firm active in the
real estate industry to assist in such deliberations or efforts to replace the
departed officer. If after one year following a Management Change Event, the
boards of such companies have not appointed a satisfactory replacement, Agent
may declare an Event of Default.

                (q)     if an event of default (as defined in the Construction
Loan Agreements) shall occur and be continuing under any Construction Loan
Agreement beyond any applicable cure period;

                (r)     if an event of default shall occur and be continuing
under any document executed in connection with the Subordinated Debt beyond any
applicable cure period;

                (s)     (A) the material violation by any Property Owner of: (i)
the order of a DRI or regulation or requirement issued with respect thereto;
(ii) an applicable zoning ordinance; (iii) any license or permit; any of which
are necessary or required for the development or operation of a Project in
accordance with the proposed development of the Project as set forth on the
schedule describing the Project or as modified in a business plan provided to
the Agent, and (B) the failure of any of items A(i)-(iii) to obtain or retain
Vested status and such failure has a material adverse effect on the applicable
Project. The Borrower

80
<PAGE>   89

shall have a right to cure this event of default for a period of up to six (6)
months from the date of occurrence of such violation or failure to attain Vested
status provided that the Borrower immediately commences all available curative
action and continuously undertakes such curative action;

                (t)     if any interest in any member of the Consolidated Group,
unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement, is assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise conveyed without the prior consent of Agent, excluding
transfers by Hoffman or Ackerman to the Hoffman Group or Ackerman Group,
respectively;

                (u)     if any member of the Consolidated Group, or Hoffman or
Ackerman shall be indicted for a federal crime, a punishment for which could
include the forfeiture of any of its assets;

                (v)     the occurrence of a Change of Control; or

                (w)     if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing under the Senior Subordinated Notes or any document or instrument
executed in connection with the Textron Loan; then, the Agent may by notice to
the Borrower terminate the Commitments under this Agreement, and upon such
termination shall have no further obligation to make Loans or Revolving Credit
Advances to the Borrower, and may declare all amounts owing with respect to this
Agreement to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith mature and become,
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the parties hereto;
provided, that in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(k)
or (p), the Lenders' Commitments hereunder shall immediately terminate and all
such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without
any requirement of notice from the Agent.

                The cure periods contained herein are subject to the following
terms and conditions:

                (a)     The Agent shall have the right to take all actions it
deems appropriate or necessary, notwithstanding the pendency of the cure period,
if the Agent determines that an emergency condition creating imminent danger to
life or property exists which is not being expeditiously acted upon by the
Borrower;

                (b)     The applicable cure period is conditioned upon the
Borrower ceasing and desisting, to the extent possible, from the action creating
the Event of Default, and the Borrower consistently taking all actions necessary
to cure the Event of Default; and

                (c)     No portion of the Properties shall be included in the
Borrowing Base during the pendency of an Event of Default affecting that portion
of the Properties.

The cure periods contained in the foregoing defaults shall be automatically
reduced to the applicable cure period contained in the documents related to the
Senior Subordinated Notes. Accordingly, no cure period contained herein shall
extend beyond the applicable cure period contained in the Senior Subordinated
Notes.

               Section 12.2 Remedies and Default Rate. No remedy herein
conferred upon any Lender or the Agent or the holder of any promissory note
hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any
other provision of law. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

               Section 12.3 Environmental Audit. At any time during the
existence of any Event of Default, the Agent, at its option, may obtain at the
sole cost and expense of the Borrower an environmental audit or Phase 1 or 2 of
the Properties prepared by a geohydrologist, an independent engineer or other
qualified consultant or expert approved by the Agent evaluating and confirming
(i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or
adjacent to the Properties, (ii) whether the operations at the Properties comply
with all air quality and other applicable Environmental Laws or (iii) or
identification of preventive maintenance or a compliance review with respect to
any Environmental Laws. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, the Agent
reserves the right, upon reasonable notice, to enter and investigate the
Properties and to take such samples as may be necessary to perform soil, water
or other analysis.

               Section 12.4 Advances. If the Agent shall elect to advance sums
for the protection of its security or for any other reason permitted or provided
by any of the terms of this Agreement or any other instrument or document
executed by any member of the Consolidated Group in favor of the Agent in
connection with the Obligations, then such sums shall be secured by the Security
Documents and shall be payable upon demand of the Agent and shall bear interest,
commencing on the date advanced and continuing until repaid, at the Default
Rate.

               Section 12.5 Proceeds. In the event that, following the
occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the
Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with
the enforcement of any the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the
realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for
application as follows:

                            (a)     First, to the payment of, or (as the case
may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of all reasonable
costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or
sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the
Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of
the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of
any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens
which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent to
such monies;

                            (b)     Second, to all other Obligations in such
order or preference as the Agent and the Majority Lenders may determine;
provided, however, that distributions in respect of such Obligations shall be
made (i) pari passu among Obligations with respect to the Agent's fee payable
pursuant to Section 5.3 and all other Obligations; (ii) pari passu among
Obligations with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans and the Senior Amortizing
Term Loan; and (iii) Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type
of Obligation such as interest,

82
<PAGE>   91

principal, fees and expenses, shall be made among the Lenders pro rata; and
provided, further that the Agent may in its discretion make proper allowance to
take into account any Obligations not then due and payable;

                        (c)     Third, upon payment and satisfaction in full or
other provisions for payment in full satisfactory to the Lenders and the Agent
of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid
pursuant to Section 9-504(1)(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
Georgia; and

                        (d)     Fourth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to
the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

               Section 13    SETOFF.

                             Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, any
deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the Lenders to any member
of the Consolidated Group and any securities or other property of any member of
the Consolidated Group in the possession of such Lender may, upon the consent of
the Agent and the Majority Lenders, be applied to or setoff against the payment
of Obligations of the Consolidated Group hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the
Consolidated Group to such Lender at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default. Each of the Lenders agrees with each
other Lender that (a) if an amount to be setoff is to be applied to Indebtedness
of the Borrower or other Property Owners to such Lender, other than Indebtedness
evidenced by the Notes held by such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably
to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness evidenced by all such Notes
held by such Lender and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or
other Property Owners, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of
setoff, counterclaim, cross-action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the
Notes held by such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower or other Property
Owners at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization,
liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings or otherwise, and shall retain
and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in
excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders
with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such
disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess,
either by way of distribution, pro tanto, assignment of claims, subrogation, or
otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held
by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that
if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such
Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount
restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

               Section 14    CERTAIN RIGHTS OF AGENT.

               Section 14.1  Right to Retain the Construction Inspector. The
Agent shall have the right to retain, at the Borrower's and the other Property
Owners' cost and expense, a Construction Inspector to review construction
budgets, contracts and schedules, make periodic inspections of construction of

matters at the Projects. The fees of the Construction Inspector shall be paid by
the Borrower and the other Property Owner forthwith upon billing therefor, and
expenses incurred by the Agent on account thereof shall be reimbursed to the
Agent forthwith upon request therefor, but neither the Agent, the Lenders nor
the Construction Inspector shall have any liability to the Borrower or any
member of the Consolidated Group on account of the services performed by the
Construction Inspector. Neither the Agent, the Lenders nor the Construction
Inspector assumes any obligation to the Borrower or any other Person concerning
the quality of construction of any Project improvements or the absence therefrom
of defects.

               Section 14.2 Right to Obtain Appraisals. The Agent shall have the
right to obtain, from time to time, at the Borrower's cost and expense, upon the

month basis, one or more Appraisals (complying with all terms and conditions of
FIRREA) updating the Appraised Value of Developable Land, Developed Lots,
Developed Parcels and Amenities as of such date. The updated Appraisals shall
consider the Appraised Value de novo and shall not simply add development costs
incurred since the prior Appraisal to the amount of the appraised value
reflected in such Appraisal) of the Mortgaged Properties. So long as no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall
only be obligated to pay for the costs and expenses associated with one (1) such
Appraisal for a particular Project during any twenty-four (24) month period or
upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and upon the foregoing
$5,000,000.00 or greater acquisition of a parcel of property. The costs and
expenses incurred by the Agent in obtaining such Appraisals shall be paid by the
Borrower forthwith upon billing or request by the Agent for reimbursement
thereof. The Agent shall also obtain such appraisals upon the request of the
Required Lenders; provided that if the Borrower is not required to pay the costs
of such appraisals pursuant to this Section 14.2, then the costs shall be paid
by the Lenders. Agent reserves the right to adjust the Appraised Value to more
accurately reflect the Fair Market Value at its discretion.

Documents and the agreements and instruments mentioned herein and delivered

normal day to day administration of the Loan by the Agent (which shall include
only services performed by the Agent's in-house employees), including the
exchange of information between the Agent and the Lenders.

               Section 16 INDEMNIFICATION. Except for liability arising
exclusively from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, the
Borrower and other Property Owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent and the Lenders, and all affiliates thereof, from and against any and all
claims, actions and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and
character arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any
actual or proposed use by the Borrower or other Property Owners of the proceeds
of any of the Loans, (b) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent,
copyright, trademark, service mark or similar right of a member of the
Consolidated Group comprised in the Collateral, (c) the Borrower or other
Property Owners entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, (d) with respect to the Borrower or a member of the Consolidated

investigation, litigation or other proceeding or (e) the violation by the
Borrower or the any other Property Owner of any DRI, zoning ordinance, or any
license or permit required or necessary for the operation and the development of
the Properties. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the
Agent shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, in addition to the
foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the
Borrower under this Section 16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower
hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of
such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. There shall be
specifically excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, actions,
suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses arising from disputes among the
Lenders with respect to the Loan or the Loan Documents. In the event that any
such claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses involve
both a dispute among the Lenders and other matters covered by this
indemnification provision, the Agent shall make a reasonable good faith
allocation of all losses, damages and expenses incurred between the Lenders'
dispute and the other matters covered by this indemnification provision, which
allocation by the Agent shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.

               Section 17 SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein, in any of the Loan Documents or in
any documents or other instruments delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower or
Property Owners pursuant

85
<PAGE>   94

hereto and thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and
the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation made by any of them, and shall
survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans, and shall continue in
full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement remains
outstanding and unpaid or any Lender has any obligation to make any Revolving
Credit Advances. The provisions of the Hazardous Waste Indemnity of even date by
the Borrower in favor of the Agent as well as the representations and warranties
as to environmental matters set forth in Section 8.23 shall not terminate and
shall survive the payment in full of the Loans.

               Section 18   THE AGENT; LEAD ARRANGER.

               Section 18.1 Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such
action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are
hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents
delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident
thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed
herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The
relationship between the Agent and the Lenders is and shall be that of agent and
principal only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee or fiduciary
for any Lender.

               Section 18.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its
powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be
entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in
its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and
expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance with
and subject to the limitations of Section 15. The Agent may from time to time
appoint such Persons as it desires to act on its behalf under this Agreement in
such capacities and with such powers as it may specify. The Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower of the appointment of any such Person and the capacity in
which they are authorized to act on behalf of the Agent. The Agent may, upon
giving written notice to the Borrower, revoke the appointment of any such
Person.

               Section 18.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its
shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting
them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any
waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken,
in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences
of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such
other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful
misconduct or gross negligence.

               Section 18.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be
responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time
constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or
for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity,
enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the
Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or

86
<PAGE>   95

in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of
the Borrower or other Property Owners, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or
agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to
constitute, collateral security for the Notes. The Agent shall not be bound to
ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the
Borrower or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is
true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any
representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any
liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial
condition of the Borrower or other Property Owners. Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement.

               Section 18.5 Payments.

                            (a)     A payment by the Borrower to the Agent
hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall
constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees promptly to distribute to
each Lender such Lender's pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for
the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in
any of the other Loan Documents.

                            (b)     If in the opinion of the Agent the
distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the
Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it
may refrain from making the distribution until its right to make such
distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.
If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and
distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such
distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its
proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the
same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

                            (c)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that
fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or
Revolving Credit Advance or (ii) to comply with the provisions of Section 13
with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders,
where such Lender's share of any payment received, whether by setoff or
otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable
to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by
the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a "Delinquent
Lender") and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such
delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned
any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of
Outstanding Loans, unpaid reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or
otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and
reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all Outstanding Loans. The
Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the
nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all
Outstanding Loans. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full
a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments
to all Outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent

87
<PAGE>   96

Lenders, the Lenders' respective pro rata shares of all Outstanding Loans have
returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without
giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

               Section 18.6  Holders of Notes. The Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes
hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by
such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

               Section 18.7  Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to
indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims,
actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs,
expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by
the Borrower as required by Section 15), and liabilities of every nature and
character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or
thereby, or the Agent's actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the
extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent's willful
misconduct or gross negligence.

               Section 18.8  Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, Fleet
shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in
respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of
the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.

               Section 18.9  Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by
giving sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor Agent. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after
the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent
may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
financial institution having a rating of not less than A-2 or its equivalent by
Standard & Poor's Corporation. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation, the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 Agent.

               Section 18.10 Notification of Defaults and Events of Default.
Each Lender hereby agrees to promptly notify the Agent upon learning of the
existence of a Default or an Event of Default. The Agent hereby agrees to
promptly notify the other Lenders if it is aware of the existence of such
Default or Event of Default.

               Section 18.11 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or
more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not
acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, if (a) so
requested by the Majority Lenders and (b) the Lenders, or such portion as
acceptable to the Agent have provided to the Agent such additional

88
<PAGE>   97

indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may
reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents
authorizing the foreclosure of the Mortgage and the sale or other disposition of
all or any part of the Collateral and exercise all or any such other legal and
equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have in respect of such
Collateral. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the
method and the extent of any such sale or other disposition. The Lenders hereby
agree to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in
respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions. The
Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent
reasonably believes the Agent's compliance with such direction to be unlawful or
commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. Agent may, in its
discretion, but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the
Majority Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve
the Collateral and the rights of the Lenders therein. Such actions may include,
but shall not be limited to, petitioning a court for injunctive relief,
appointment of a receiver or sequestration of proceeds of the Properties.

               Section 18.12 Bankruptcy of Borrower. In the event a bankruptcy
or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower, Agent shall
have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof of claim on
behalf of all Lenders. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or
pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings.

               Section 18.13 Disclosure. Agent hereby discloses to the Lenders
that it is an affiliate of FleetBoston Investments, which owns an interest in
CILP. The Lenders hereby acknowledge: the foregoing disclosure and that
FleetBoston Investments, as an owner of CILP, may take actions which may
conflict with actions taken by Fleet as Agent. The Lenders agree that the Agent
is hereby authorized by the Lenders to continue in the capacity as Agent and to
fulfill the role of Agent hereunder notwithstanding its affiliation with
FleetBoston Investments, and that Fleet, as Agent, will not be liable to the
Lenders for actions taken by FleetBoston Investments.

               Section 18.14 Lead Arranger. Consolidated Group acknowledges and
agrees that FleetBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. has acted as Lead Arranger in
connection with these Loans. The relevant Agent indemnification provisions
contained herein shall also protect Lead Arranger.

               Section 18.15 Documentation Agent and Co-Agents. The
Documentation Agent and each Co-Agent acknowledge that Agent is acting as "Lead
Agent" under this Agreement and that the Documentation Agent and either Co-Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that may be requested from
time to time by the Agent and accepted in writing by the Documentation Agent or
either Co-Agent.

               Section 19    ASSIGNMENT.

               Section 19.1  Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as
provided herein, each Lender may assign to one (1) or more Eligible Assignees
all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the
same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it, and the Notes held by it);
provided that (a) the Agent shall have given its prior written consent to such
assignment, (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
percentage of all the assigning

89
<PAGE>   98

Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (c) each assignment shall
be in an amount that is at least $5,000,000.00 and is a whole multiple of
$1,000,000.00, unless otherwise consented to by Agent, (d) each Lender which is
a Lender on the date hereof shall retain, free of any such assignment, an amount
of its Commitment of not less than $10,000,000.00, and (e) the parties to such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register
(as hereinafter defined), an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the
form established by Agent (an "Assignment and Acceptance"), together with any
Notes subject to such assignment. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the
assignment of participation interests by a Lender to an affiliate controlled by
such Lender provided that all voting rights and funding obligations are retained
by such Lender and the Lender provides notice of the participation and copies of
the participation documents to the Agent. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five (5)
Business Days after the execution thereof, but in no event prior to recording
(i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided
in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent provided in such
assignment and upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in
Section 19.3, be released from its further obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the interest assigned.

               Fleet may assign portions of its rights under this Agreement so
that the Fleet holds a minimum portion of the Loans of $20,000,000.00.

               With Agent's consent, each Lender may at any time assign or
pledge its Loan or Note to a Federal Reserve Bank, and a Lender, which is a
"fund," may at any time assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under
this Credit Agreement to secure such Lender's indebtedness, in each case without
the prior written consent of the Borrower, provided that each such assignment
shall be made in accordance with applicable law and shall be either to a Federal
Reserve Bank or Eligible Assignee, and no such assignment shall release a Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder. In order to facilitate any such
assignment, the Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly
execute a registered promissory note or notes evidencing the Obligations made or
extended to the Borrowers by the assigning Lender hereunder, provided that the
assignment is otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof. For avoidance of
doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this
subsection concerning assignments do not prohibit assignments creating security
interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender
of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable
law and the terms hereof.

               Section 19.2 Certain Representations and Warranties; Limitations;
Covenants. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the parties
to the assignment thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other
parties hereto as follows: (a) other than the representation and warranty that
it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free
and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto; (b) the

90
<PAGE>   99

assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower and other
Property Owners or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect
of any of the Obligations, or the performance or observance by the Borrower,
Property Owners or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect
of any of the Obligations or any of their obligations under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto; (c) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred
to in Section 8.7 and Section 11.7 and such other documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into such Assignment and Acceptance; (d) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon the assigning Lender, the Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement; (e) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an
Eligible Assignee; (f) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the
terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto; (g) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to
be performed by it as a Lender; (h) such assignee represents and warrants that
it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; and (i)
such assignee represents that it is acquiring the portion of the Loans assigned
to it pursuant to the Assignment and Acceptance for investment only and not with
a view to or with any intention to resell, distribute, subdivide or
fractionalize such portion in whole or in part, or grant any participation
therein.

               Section 19.3 Register. The Agent shall maintain a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register or similar list (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
the Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to the
Lenders from time to time as a condition to the effectiveness thereof. All
assignments of Loans or Commitments must be reported to the Agent to permit
registration in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, (i) the
assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of
$5,000.00 and (ii) the Agent will deliver a copy of the Register to the
Borrower.

               Section 19.4 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note
subject to such assignment, the Agent shall (a) record the information contained
therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and
the Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). Within five (5) Business Days
after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute
and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to
the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by
such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the
assigning Lender has maintained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new
Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to

91
<PAGE>   100

the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are
replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall
be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall
otherwise be in substantially the form of the Notes delivered at the time of
execution of this Agreement. Within five (5) Business Days upon request,
following issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this Section 19.4, the Borrower
shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent,
relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Notes and
the legality, validity, enforceability and binding effect thereof and the
applicability of the Guaranties to the new Note. The surrendered Notes shall be
canceled and returned to the Borrower.

               Section 19.5 No Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan
Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.

               Section 19.6 Disclosure. Each Lender agrees to take normal and
reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of
all information identified as "confidential" or "secret" by the Borrower and
provided to it by the Borrower, or by the Agent on Borrower's behalf, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its affiliates
shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; except to the extent such
information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of disclosure by the Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, provided that such
source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower known to
the Lender; provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information (a)
at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to
which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender
by any such authority; (b) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (c) when
required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable
requirement of law; (d) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any
litigation or proceeding to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective
affiliates may be party; (e) to the extent reasonably required in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (f)
to such Lender's independent auditors and other professional advisors; (g) to
any participant or assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person
agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent
required of the Lenders hereunder, and (h) as to any Lender, as expressly
permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding
confidentiality to which the Borrower is party or is deemed party with such
Lender.

               Section 19.7 Withholding Tax.

                            (a)     If any Lender is a "foreign corporation,
partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims
exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or
1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver
to the Agent:

                                    (i)     if such Lender claims an exemption
from, or a reduction of,

92
<PAGE>   101

withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed IRS Forms
1001 and W-8 before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and
before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during
which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

                                (ii)    if such Lender claims that interest paid
under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is
effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two
(2) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form 4224 before the payment
of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in each
succeeding taxable year of such Lender during which interest may be paid under
this Agreement, and IRS Form W-9;

                                (iii)   such other form or forms as may be
required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax; and

                                (iv)    in the case of any Lender claiming
exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax under Sections 871(b) or 881(c) of the Code,
with respect to payments of "Portfolio Interest," a Form W-8, or any subsequent
versions thereof or successors thereto, and if the Lender delivers a Form W-8, a
certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section
881(c) of the Code, is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder (within the meaning
of Section 871(h)(3)(b) of the Code) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof,
and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code). Each
such certificate and form shall be properly completed and duly executed by such
Lender claiming complete exemption from a reduced rate of U.S. Withholding Tax
on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

               Such Lender agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction.

                        (b)     If any Lender claims exemption from, or
reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS
Form 1001, and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or
otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Borrower to such
Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which
it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Borrower to such
Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat such
Lender's IRS Form 1001 as no longer valid.

                        (c)     If any Lender claiming exemption from United
States withholding tax by filing IRS Form 4224 with the Agent sells, assigns,
grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations
of the Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole
responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by
Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

                        (d)     If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the
applicable withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to
such Lender an amount

93
<PAGE>   102

equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such
reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of
this Section 19.7 are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold
from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other
documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

                        (e)     If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority
of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did
not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
(because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances
which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective,
or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all
amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise,
including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section 19.7,
together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection (e) shall
survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the
Agent.

                        (f)     Certain Lenders that may enter into this
Agreement from and after even date may be unable to comply with the indemnity
provision of Section 19.7(e). In the event that the Agent agrees in the
applicable Assignment and Acceptance for any subsequent Lender, then such Lender
shall be governed by and shall comply with the provisions of this Section
19.7(f) rather than Section 19.7(e). In addition to any other rights of offset
contained in this Agreement or under any applicable law, in the event that any
amounts would otherwise be covered by an indemnity under Section 19.7(e) from
such Lenders, such as U.S. Withholding Tax due and payable and any penalties or
interest with respect thereto and fees and expenses of collection, then in such
event, the Agent shall be authorized to offset any such amounts against the
amounts payable to such Lenders hereunder until otherwise indemnified amounts
are fully paid. The right of offset contained herein shall be in addition to and
shall not limit or otherwise waive or diminish any right or remedy that the
Agent may have against such Lenders under any applicable law.

          Section 22    ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ETC.

                        This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents

observance by the Borrower of any terms of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of
Default (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively).

          No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly
waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or
omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or
demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          Section 24    RELEASE OF SECURITY.

                        So long as no Default or Event of Default exists or

Documents, by the Agent itself or by its duly appointed attorney-in-fact, any
Developable Land, Developed Lots, Developed Parcels, Receivables or Unit which
is sold by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of Section 11.24, promptly
following the date upon which (i) all net cash proceeds of such sale shall have
been promptly delivered to the Agent by the closing official, or such other
person as the Agent may from time to time direct, together with all Receivables,
mortgages, deeds of trust or other Collateral Documents relating thereto, in
each case accompanied by instruments of assignment and recorded collateral
assignments in favor of the Agent satisfactory, in form and substance, to the
Agent; and (ii) the purchaser thereof shall have complied with all the terms and
conditions required to be performed by such purchaser under its agreement with
the Borrower prior to the delivery of a deed for such portion of the Developable
Land, or such Developed Lot, or Developed Parcel or Unit to such purchaser. The
requirement to pay net cash proceeds set forth at (i) shall not be applicable to
Properties subject to the provisions of Section 11.24(b).

          Section 25    CONSENT TO SERVICE.

                        (a)     The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the
service of the

98
<PAGE>   107

summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding on
behalf of Borrower or its property by the hand delivery or mailing of copies of
such process to Borrower at its address specified in Section 20.

                        (b)     Nothing in this Section 25 shall affect the
right of the Agent or the Lenders to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by law or affect the right of the Agent or any of the Lenders to bring
any action or proceeding against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of
any other jurisdictions.

          Section 26    SEVERABILITY.

                        In the event any provision of this Agreement shall for
any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or
provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed as if
such provision to the extent the same shall have been invalid, illegal or
unenforceable had never been contained herein. The parties hereto agree that
they will negotiate in good faith to replace any provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable with a valid provision which is as similar as possible
in substance to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

          Section 27    WAIVER.

                        The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby mutually
knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waive any right any of them may have
to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation (including, but not limited to,
any claims, cross-claims, or third party claims) arising out of, under or in
connection with the Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage, the other Loan
Documents, or the transactions contemplated therein or herein. The Borrower, the
Agent and the Lenders certify to each other party that no representative or
agent of any party hereto nor counsel of any such party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of such
litigation, seek to enforce this waiver of right to jury trial provision.

          Section 28    RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

                        All conditions to the performance of the obligations of
the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make
Revolving Credit Advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of
the Agent and the Lenders. No other Person shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to
assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Revolving Credit
