<PAGE>

     (d) "INDEMNIFIABLE EXPENSES," "INDEMNIFIABLE LIABILITIES" and
"INDEMNIFIABLE AMOUNTS" shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in
Section 4 below.

     (e) "LIABILITIES" shall mean judgments, damages, liabilities, losses,

     (f) "PROCEEDING" shall mean any threatened, pending or completed claim,

Agreement to enforce Indemnitee's rights hereunder.

2. Services of Indemnitee. In consideration of the Company's covenants and
commitments hereunder, Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of
the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on
Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee's service to the Company beyond
any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of
the parties, if any.

3. Agreement to Indemnify. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, and advance
Indemnifiable Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as specifically provided in this
Agreement and (b) otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law in
effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time; provided, however,
that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits
available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the date
hereof. The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section shall include, but
shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this
Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by Section
2-418(g) of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL").

4. Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.
Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this
Section 4 if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be,
made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, other than a
Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 4,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all Expenses and
Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with a Proceeding by reason of his Corporate Status (referred to
herein as "INDEMNIFIABLE EXPENSES" and "INDEMNIFIABLE LIABILITIES,"
respectively, and collectively as "INDEMNIFIABLE AMOUNTS") unless it is
established that (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the
matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b)
was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the Indemnitee actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (iii)
in the case of any criminal Proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.

5. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled
to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 5 if, by reason of his
Corporate Status, he is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in
its favor. Pursuant to this Section 5, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all amounts paid in settlement and all Indemnifiable Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding
unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was
material to the matter giving rise to such a Proceeding and (a) was committed in
bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or (ii) the
Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or
services; provided, however, that no indemnification against such Indemnifiable
Expenses shall be made in respect of any Proceeding in which Indemnitee shall
have been adjudged to be liable to the Company.

<PAGE>

6. Court-Ordered Indemnification. A court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon
application of a director or officer and such notice as the court shall require,
may order indemnification in the following circumstances:

     (a) if it determines a director or officer is entitled to Indemnifiable
Amounts under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall order
indemnification, in which case the director or officer shall be entitled to
recover the expenses of securing such Indemnifiable Amounts; or

     (b) if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether
or not the director or officer (i) has met the standards of conduct set forth in
Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable for receipt of an
improper personal benefit under Section 2-148(c) of the MGCL, the court may
order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However,
indemnification with respect to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company
or in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in
Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL shall be limited to Indemnifiable Expenses.

7. Procedure for Payment of Indemnifiable Amounts. Indemnitee shall submit to
the Company a written request specifying the applicable Indemnifiable Amounts
for which Indemnitee seeks payment under this Agreement and the basis for the
claim. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Sections 4 and 5, the Company
shall pay such applicable Indemnifiable Amounts to Indemnitee within 20 calendar
days of receipt of the request. At the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall
furnish such documentation and information as are reasonably available to
Indemnitee and necessary to establish that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification hereunder.

8. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any
such provision to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee's
Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Expenses
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's behalf in connection
therewith. Without limiting any other rights of Indemnitee in this Agreement, if
Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the
merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or
matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for all
Indemnifiable Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's
behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For
purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in
such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be
a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

9. Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement nor termination of any
Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to
determine that indemnification is payable shall create an adverse presumption
that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the
termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not create
a presumption that the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the
matter giving rise to the Proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the
result of active and deliberate dishonesty or the Indemnitee actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that
Indemnitee's action was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of
an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that
the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct. In addition, the
termination of or resignation by Indemnitee shall not create an adverse
presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

10. Agreement to Advance Interim Expenses. The Company shall pay to Indemnitee
all Indemnifiable Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in advance
of the final disposition of such Proceeding, if Indemnitee furnishes the Company
with a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith
belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company
has been met and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to
repay the amount of such Indemnifiable Expenses advanced to Indemnitee if it is
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not
entitled under this Agreement to indemnification with respect to such
Indemnifiable Expenses. The terms and conditions of such undertaking shall be
determined by a quorum of the disinterested members of the Company's board of
directors, if any, acting in good faith and as required by the proper exercise
of their duties or, if not available, then by the written opinion of independent
legal counsel or by the Company's stockholders.

11. Procedure for Payment of Interim Expenses. Indemnitee shall submit to the
Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Expenses for which
Indemnitee seeks an advancement under Section 10 of this Agreement, together
with documentation evidencing that Indemnitee has incurred such Indemnifiable
Expenses. Payment of Indemnifiable Expenses under Section 10 shall be made no
later than 20 calendar days after the Company's receipt of such request and the
affirmation and undertaking required by Section 10.

12. Remedies of Indemnitee.

     (a) Right to Petition Court. In the event that Indemnitee makes a request
for payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under Sections 4 and 5 above or a request
for an advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses under Sections 10 and 11 above and
the Company fails to make such payment or advancement in a timely manner
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee may petition the appropriate
judicial authority to enforce the Company's obligations under this Agreement.

     (b) Burden of Proof. In any judicial proceeding brought under Section 12(a)
above, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not
entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.

     (c) Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse Indemnitee in full for any
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing for,
litigating, defending or settling any action brought by Indemnitee under Section
12(a) above, or in connection with any claim or counterclaim brought by the
Company in connection therewith.

     (d) Validity of Agreement. The Company shall be precluded from asserting in
any Proceeding, including, without limitation, an action under Section 12(a)
above, that the provisions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and
enforceable or that there is insufficient consideration for this Agreement and
shall stipulate in court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this
Agreement.

     (e) Failure to Act Not a Defense. The failure of the Company (including its
board of directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or
stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of the
payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses
under this Agreement shall not be a defense in any action brought under Section
12(a) above, and shall not create a presumption that such payment or advancement
is not permissible.

13. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents
and warrants to Indemnitee as follows:

<PAGE>

     (a) Authority. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority
to enter into, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement, and the execution,
delivery and performance of the undertakings contemplated by this Agreement have
been duly authorized by the Company.

     (b) Enforceability. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the
Company in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally or general equitable principles, and
to the extent limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

14. Insurance. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance
companies providing the members of the Company's board of directors with
coverage for losses from wrongful acts, and to ensure the Company's performance
of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. In all policies of
director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an
insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee at least the same rights and
benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's officers
and directors.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company, after employing commercially
reasonable efforts as provided in this Section, determines in good faith that
such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such
insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or if the
coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with coverage having
features as similar as practicable to those described above.

15. Fees and Expenses. During the term of the Indemnitee's service as a director
or officer, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for all expenses
incurred by him in connection with his service as a director or officer or
member of any board committee or otherwise in connection with the Company's
business.

16. Contract Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to payment of Indemnifiable
Amounts and advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses provided by this Agreement
shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of, any other rights which Indemnitee
may have at any time under applicable law, the Company's Bylaws, as amended,
Charter, or any other agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or
otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action
in any other capacity as a result of Indemnitees's serving as a director or
officer of the Company.

17. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement shall be (i) binding upon all successors and assigns of
the Company (including any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the
business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect
successor by merger or consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) and (ii)
binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal
representatives, executors and administrators of Indemnitee.

     (b) This Agreement shall continue until and terminate ten years after the
date that Indemnitee's Corporate Status shall have ceased; provided, that the
rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall continute until the final termination of
any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of
indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced
by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement relating thereto.

<PAGE>

18. Subrogation. In the event of any payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under this
Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all
of the rights of contribution or recovery of Indemnitee against other persons,
and Indemnitee shall take, at the request of the Company, all reasonable action
necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as
are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

19. Change in Law. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by
statute or judicial decision) shall permit broader indemnification than is
provided under the terms of the Charter, as amended, or Bylaws of the Company,
as amended, and this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to such broader
indemnification and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to such extent.

20. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement, or any clause thereof, shall be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision or clause shall be limited or
modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to make such
provision or clause valid, legal and enforceable, and the remaining provisions
and clauses of this Agreement shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the
parties.

21. Indemnitee as Plaintiff. Except as provided in Sections 10 and 12 of this
Agreement and in the next sentence, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment
of Indemnifiable Amounts or advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses with respect
to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any Entity which it
controls, any director or officer thereof, or any third party, unless (a) the
Proceeding is brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement or
otherwise or (b) the Company's Bylaws, as amended, the Charter, a resolution of
the Company's board of directors or an agreement approved by the Company's board
of directors to which the Company is party expressly provide otherwise. This
Section shall not apply to affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an
action brought against Indemnitee.

22. Modifications and Waiver. Except as provided in Section 19 above with
respect to changes in applicable law which broaden the right of Indemnitee to be
indemnified by the Company, no supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties
hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or
shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or
not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

     THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and dated as of September
23, 2005 among VINTAGE WINE TRUST LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Borrower"), the Guarantors (as defined herein), BANK OF THE WEST, a California
banking corporation, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the
"Administrative Agent"), and the Lenders (as defined herein).

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

     (1) Vintage Wine Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a newly formed REIT
(as such term and other capitalized terms not otherwise defined are defined in
Paragraph 12 below) that has made an offering (the "Private Offering") of common
stock, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933
pursuant to Rule 144A, Regulation D and Regulation S thereunder, in connection
with which it entered into an agreement to file a resale shelf registration
statement and to cause the registration statement to be declared effective as
soon as practicable thereafter (the date of such effectiveness, "Registration
Effective Date").

     (2) The Corporation is indirectly contributing the Net Cash Proceeds from
the Private Offering to the Borrower, its operating partnership, in exchange for
the general partnership interest in the Borrower and 96.5% of the limited
partnership interest in the Borrower.

     (3) As the operating partnership for the Corporation, the Borrower intends
to acquire and own, directly and indirectly, Vineyards, Development Property and
Associated Investments and has requested the Lenders to make Loans to finance,
in part, such activities, and the Lenders have indicated their willingness to
agree to make such Loans on the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement.

     For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

     1.   The Term Loans and Swing Line Loans.

          1(a) The Commitments.

               (1) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein,
the Lenders severally agree that they shall make term loans (each a "Term Loan"
and, collectively, the "Term Loans") to the Borrower pro rata in accordance with
their respective Percentage Shares. The Term Loans are term Loans that, once
repaid, may not be reborrowed. The Term Loans will be made (i) during the
Availability Period, (ii) on the last day of any Interest Period applicable to
Swing Line Loans outstanding on the last day of any Applicable Period and (iii)
in the case of Term Loans requested during the Availability Period to finance
Capital Expenditures, in accordance with Paragraph 2(d)(2).

               (2) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein,
the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (each a "Swing Line Loan"
and, collectively,

                                        1

<PAGE>

the "Swing Line Loans" and, together with the Term Loans, the "Loans") to the
Borrower during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, and the Lenders severally
agree to participate in such Swing Line Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower
shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line
Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Loans are revolving
Loans that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, may be
reborrowed.

               (3) No Swing Line Loan may be refinanced with another Swing Line
Loan. Each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in each
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage Share of such
Swing Line Loan, in an aggregate amount that, when added to such Lender's
Percentage Share of Term Loans outstanding does not exceed such Lender's
Commitment.

               (4) The Term Loans will be made in Tranches on which amortizing
payments are payable in accordance with Paragraph 1(c) below, and those Tranches
will be determined as follows:

                    (i) All Term Loans made to acquire, finance or improve a
Borrowing Base Property during the Applicable Period when such Borrowing Base
Property is acquired or financed shall constitute one Tranche, and any
Reappraisal Loans made with respect to such Borrowing Base Property shall be
added to that Tranche of Term Loans on the last day of the Applicable Period
when such Reappraisal Loans are made.

                    (ii) All Term Loans made during a single Applicable Period
to finance Capital Expenditures pursuant to Paragraph 2(d)(2) for a Borrowing
Base Property after the end of the Applicable Period when such Borrowing Base
Property was acquired or financed shall constitute one Tranche.

If any Swing Line Loan made to acquire, finance or improve a Borrowing Base
Property remains outstanding on the last day of an Applicable Period, such Swing
Line Loans shall be included in a Tranche of Term Loans used to acquire, finance
or improve such Borrowing Base Property, including, without limitation, for
purposes of calculating Amortizing Payments on such Tranche of Term Loans and
calculating the Applicable Borrowing Base Percentage. Except for Tranches of
Term Loans used to finance Capital Expenditures pursuant to Paragraph 2(d)(2),
only one Tranche of Term Loans may be used to acquire, finance or improve a
Borrowing Base Property.

               (5) Notwithstanding subparagraphs (1) and (2) above or any other
provision in this Agreement, no Lender agrees to make or to participate in any
Loan if, after giving effect to such Loan:

                    (i) (A) the Aggregate Outstandings (plus the principal
amount of Loans reserved to finance Capital Expenditures under Approved
Improvement Budgets pursuant to Paragraph 2(d)(2) below) would exceed (B) the
lesser of the Effective Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base Amount for
all Borrowing Base Properties,

                    (ii) (A) the aggregate amount of (x) Term Loans in the
applicable Tranche of Loans used to finance, acquire or improve a Borrowing Base
Property plus (y) the principal amount of Loans reserved to finance Capital
Expenditures under an Approved Improvement Budget pursuant to Paragraph 2(d)(2)
below plus (z) Swing Line Loans subject to

                                        2

being repaid from such Term Loans would exceed (B) the Borrowing Base Amount of
such Borrowing Base Property;

                    (iii) (A) such Lender's Percentage Share of Aggregate
Outstandings would exceed (B) such Lender's Effective Commitment,

                    (iv) the aggregate amount of Reappraisal Loans made would
exceed the Borrowing Base Amount of the related Reappraisal Allocated Amount; or

                    (v) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans
outstanding would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.

          1(b) Calculation and Payment of Interest.

               (1) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Borrower shall pay interest on each Loan outstanding hereunder from the date
disbursed to but not including the date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate or (ii) from and including the first day of an Interest Period until but
not including the last day of such Interest Period, a fixed rate of interest
equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

               (2) Interest accruing on Base Rate Loans outstanding hereunder
shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the 10th day of each month. Interest
accruing on Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be payable on the last day of such
Interest Period (or, in the case of a Stub Interest Period, on the 10th day of
the month falling in such Interest Period) and, if such Interest Period is
longer than three months, on the 10th day of each three month period after the
commencement of such Interest Period prior to the end of such Interest Period.
In addition, accrued interest on any Loan that is paid or prepaid prior to the
Maturity Date shall be paid concurrently with such payment, and accrued interest
remaining outstanding shall be payable on the Maturity Date.

               (3) No more than six (6) Interest Periods shall be in effect with
respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans at any one time.

          1(c) Amortization of Term Loans and Repayment of Swing Line Loans. The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders:

               (1) On the 10th day of each month beginning on the first such day
after the end of the Applicable Period in which a Tranche of Term Loans is first
made, an amount equal to the Amortizing Payment on such Term Loans (as such
Amortizing Payment may be recalculated upon addition of Reappraisal Loans to
such Tranche pursuant to Paragraph 1(a)(4) above);

               (2) On each Tranche Maturity Date, the related Tranche of Term
Loans remaining outstanding.

               (3) The Borrower agrees to repay each Swing Line Loan to the
Swing Line Lender, for its own account, on the first 10th day of a month
occurring after the date

                                        3

<PAGE>

such Swing Line Loan is made. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement, such repayment may be made from the proceeds of a Term Loan.

               (4) On the Maturity Date, the principal amount of all Loans
remaining outstanding.

          1(d) Mandatory and Optional Prepayments.

               (1) If, as of any date, the Aggregate Outstandings exceed the
Effective Aggregate Commitments, the Borrower shall repay Loans on such date in
an amount not less than such excess.

               (2) If, as of any date, the Swing Line Loans outstanding exceed
the Swing Line Sublimit, the Borrower shall repay Swing Line Loans on such date
in an amount not less than such excess.

               (3) To the extent provided in Paragraph 1(e) below, the Loans
shall be repaid within five Business Days from any payments made to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to that paragraph.

               (4) If, as of any date, the Aggregate Outstandings exceed the
Borrowing Base Amount for all Borrowing Base Properties (for any reason other
than by reason of the reduction of a Borrowing Base Property Value as a result
of an Appraisal), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days, prepay Loans in
a principal amount not less than such excess or such payment requirement, as
applicable.

               (5) The Borrower may, upon not less than five (5) Business Days
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, optionally prepay Loans, in
whole or part, at any time; provided that, in the case of a partial prepayment,
the amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan remaining after giving effect to such
prepayment is not less than $5,000,000 and that the amount of Loans remaining
outstanding as Base Rate Loans after giving effect to such prepayment is not
less than $250,000.

               (6) Each prepayment pursuant to this Paragraph 1(c) as well as
any other prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans made prior to the last day of the
relevant Interest Period (except in the case of a Stub Interest Period) shall be
accompanied by a make-whole payment calculated as set forth in Paragraph 2(g)
below as well as any other amounts payable under this Agreement in connection
with such payment. Loans that are Base Rate Loans may be prepaid without any
make-whole payment.

               (7) Each prepayment under Paragraphs 1(e)(4) or 1(e)(5) below (i)
made on Loans as a result of any Event of Loss to, Appraisal of or the Net
Operating Income from a Borrowing Base Property shall be applied (A) first to
prepay outstanding Swing Line Loans subject to being prepaid from a Tranche of
Term Loans used to finance, acquire or improve such Borrowing Base Property and
(B) then to the Amortizing Payments on the related Tranche of Term Loans and
(ii) in all other cases, shall be applied first to prepay outstanding Swing Line
Loans and then to prepay Term Loans proportionately among the Tranches unless,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, otherwise
directed by the Borrower (in which case prepayments shall be applied as directed
by the Borrower).

                                        4

<PAGE>

               (8) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Paragraph 1(e)(4)
below, each prepayment of a Tranche of Term Loans shall be applied to
installments payable under such Tranche in the inverse order of their
occurrence.

          1(e) Maintenance of Borrowing Base Amount; Debt Service Coverage;
Events of Loss.

               (1) The Borrower may, from time to time so long as no Potential
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, remove and make
substitutions for Borrowing Base Properties and, in connection with the
Acquisition of Borrowing Base Properties, obtain the release of Cash Collateral
deposited with the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Paragraph 1(e),
subject, in each case (except in connection with Disposition of Borrowing Base
Property to a Person who is not a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower for
fair market value if the Net Cash Proceeds are immediately applied to prepay the
relevant Tranche of Loans and, to the extent in excess thereof, applied to the
other Loans), to the conditions precedent that, on or prior to such removal or
substitution, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent:

                    (i) (x) a Borrowing Base Certificate, duly signed by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the Lenders that, on a Pro
Forma Basis after giving effect to such removal or substitution, the Borrowing
Base Amount for all Borrowing Base Properties will be not less than the
Aggregate Outstandings, together with (y) if the Borrowing Base Amount of any
property being removed exceeds 15% of the Borrowing Base Amount of all Borrowing
Base Properties or the aggregate Borrowing Base Amount of all properties being
removed exceeds 30% of the Borrowing Base Amount of all Borrowing Base
Properties, such Appraisals of all Borrowing Base Properties as the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request;

                    (ii) a Compliance Certificate, duly signed by an Authorized
Officer of the Corporation and the Borrower, to which is attached a calculation,
in detail acceptable to the Administrative Agent, prepared on a Pro Forma Basis,
evidencing that after giving effect to the proposed removal or substitution, the
Adjusted Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio, will not be less than (A) 1.50
to 1.00 or (B) if the Borrowing Base Amount of any property being removed does
not exceed 15% of the Borrowing Base Amount of all Borrowing Base Properties and
the aggregate Borrowing Base Amount of all properties being removed does not
exceed 30% of the Borrowing Base Amount for all Borrowing Base Properties, 1.25
to 1.00;

                    (iii) Real Property Collateral Documents for any new
Borrowing Base Property;

                    (iv) in connection with any Disposition of any Borrowing
Base Property which is not concurrently replaced with new Borrowing Base
Property or that results in Net Cash Proceeds not concurrently applied to prepay
outstanding Loans, the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent Cash
Collateral (together with such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably require in connection with such Cash Collateral) to be included in
the Borrowing Base Amount after giving effect to such Disposition in an
aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds;

                                        5

<PAGE>

                    (v) such other Collateral Documents and Loan Documents as
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall reasonably require.

               (2) If, as a result of Appraisals conducted pursuant to Paragraph
7(j)(1) below, the Borrowing Base Amount for all Borrowing Base Properties
reflected in any Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Paragraph
7(b)(1) below is less than the Aggregate Outstandings on such date, the Borrower
shall make aggregate payments to the Administrative Agent equal to the amount by
which such Borrowing Base Amount is less than the Aggregate Outstandings on such
date, which payment shall be made in twelve (12) equal installments payable no
later than the 10th day of each month, beginning with the Applicable Month.

               (3) If the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio reflected in any
Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Paragraph 7(b)(1) below is less
than 1.25 to 1.00, the Borrower shall make aggregate payments to the
Administrative Agent equal to an amount, calculated, on a Pro Forma Basis as of
the date of the financial statements accompanying such Compliance Certificate,
as sufficient to increase the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio to not less
than 1.25 to 1.00, which payment shall be made in twelve (12) equal installments
payable no later than the 10th day of each month, beginning with the Applicable
Month.

               (4) The Borrower may direct that payments made to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or (3) above be applied to
prepay Loans in the relevant Tranche in the direct order of their occurrence,
but, in the absence of such direction, at the discretion of the Administrative
Agent, such payments shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral
security for the benefit of the Secured Parties (such cash and other cash held
as collateral in an interest bearing account pursuant to the Agreement being
"Cash Collateral") subject to such documentation as the Administrative Agent
shall require (and to which the Lenders hereby consent) and from time to time,
be applied, whether directly or from Cash Collateral, in prepayment of the
Loans. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations all Cash Collateral from time to time held by the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Upon delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting new Appraisals
made pursuant to Paragraph 7(j)(1) below or a Compliance Certificate calculating
a new Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio, as applicable, Cash Collateral held
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subparagraph 4 shall be released to
the Borrower to the extent no longer required pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or
(3) above;

               (5) Subject to any contrary terms in the applicable Borrowing
Base Lease (which shall prevail in the event of a conflict), if any Borrowing
Base Property shall be subject to any Event of Loss where the Net Cash Proceeds
exceed, or are reasonably expected to exceed, the greater of (i) $4,500,000 or
(ii) 3.00% of the Effective Aggregate Commitments or, upon termination thereof,
Aggregate Outstandings:

                    (i) The Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent thereof in writing and deposit any Net Cash Proceeds thereof as Cash
Collateral with the Administrative Agent for application against the then
outstanding Loans; or

                    (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause
(i) (A) so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default has then occurred
and is continuing, (B) the related Borrowing Base Lease remains in full force
and effect, without abatement, during

                                        6

<PAGE>

the period of any restoration and has a term extending beyond the projected
restoration period and (C) any Net Cash Proceeds, together with any other
amounts then deposited by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent as Cash
Collateral are adequate to restore the Borrowing Base Property that was subject
to such Event of Loss within the earlier of (x) the Tranche Maturity Date for
the related Tranche of Term Loans and (y) 365 days after such Event of Loss to
not less than the value immediately prior to such Event of Loss, then so long as
no Event of Default or Potential Default thereafter occurs, the Administrative
Agent shall disburse such Cash Collateral in accordance with any Construction
Documents and disbursement procedures, including any retentions, acceptable to
the Administrative Agent. Any and all Net Cash Proceeds of the Event of Loss
that the Borrower does not propose to use to repair, replace or restore the
relevant Real Property or that remain on deposit with the Administrative Agent
more then 365 days after receipt shall promptly be applied to repay the Loans.
If Cash Collateral is made available to restore any Borrowing Base Property, the
Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrowing Base Property will be restored to
at least comparable value and, to the extent commercially practicable,
substantially the same character as prior to the Event of Loss, all in
accordance with applicable law and plans and specifications reasonably approved
in advance by the Administrative Agent.

               (6) Any settlement in respect of an Event of Loss in an aggregate
amount in excess of the greater of (i) $4,500,000 or (ii) 3.00% of the Effective
Aggregate Commitments or, upon termination thereof, Aggregate Outstandings shall
be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that if (i) at the time of the settlement of such claim an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the Administrative Agent
disapproves of the Borrower's proposed settlement, then the Administrative Agent
shall have the right to settle and adjust such claim without the consent of the
Borrower, in which case the Administrative Agent shall and is hereby authorized
to collect any Net Cash Proceeds. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent in such adjustment and collection shall become part
of the Secured Obligations, be secured by the Collateral and be reimbursed by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent upon demand therefor.

          1(f) Swing Line Loans.

               (1) On the date due and upon the occurrence and continuance of a
Potential Default or an Event of Default, the Swing Line Lender shall request on
behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line
Lender to so request on its behalf) that each Lender make a Term Loan that is a
Eurodollar Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage Share of the
Swing Line Loans outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which
written request shall be deemed a Loan Request for purposes hereof) and in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified herein for the principal amount of such Loans.
The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of such request
after delivering the same to the Administrative Agent. So long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is then continuing under Paragraph 9(a)(6) with respect
to Debtor Relief Laws, each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Percentage
Share of the Swing Lines Loans available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender not later
than the time when similar notices from the Borrower are to be honored under
this Agreement, whereupon each such Lender that makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Term Loan to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

                                        7

<PAGE>

               (2) If for any reason (including, without limitation, the
occurrence of an Event of Default under Paragraph 9(a)(6) with respect to Debtor
Relief Laws), any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced with Term Loans, the Loan
Request from the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed a request by the Swing Line
Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan and each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.

               (3) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by
such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate
from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to
any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this Paragraph 1(f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

               (4) Each Lender's obligation to make Term Loans to re-finance
Swing Line Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans
pursuant to this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing
Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii)
the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Potential Default, or
(iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with
interest as provided herein.

               (5) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will promptly
distribute to such Lender its Percentage Share of such payment (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during
which such Lender's risk participation was funded) in Same Day Funds or other
equivalent of those received by the Swing Line Lender. If any payment received
by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line
Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the
circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing
Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender
its Percentage Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line
Lender.

               (6) The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the
Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Term
Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Agreement to refinance such Lender's
Percentage Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Percentage
Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

     2.   Administration of the Loans.

          2(a) Requests for Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, during the Availability Period the Borrower, from time to time, may
request:

               (1) Term Loans be made to it on any Business Day by giving the
Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such request (i) no later
than 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day preceding the proposed funding
date for Base Rate Loans and (ii) no later than 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the
third Business Day preceding the proposed funding date of Eurodollar Rate Loans.

               (2) Swing Lines Loans be made to it on any Business Day by giving
the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such request no later
than (i) 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day preceding the proposed
funding date for Base Rate Loans and (ii) 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the third
Business Day preceding the proposed funding date of Eurodollar Rate Loans.

The principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan, other than a Swing Line Loan
or a Term Loan refinancing a Swing Line Loan, shall be in the minimum amount of
$5,000,000. The principal amount of each Base Rate Loan, other than a Swing Line
Loan or a Term Loan refinancing a Swing Line Loan, shall be in the minimum
amount of $1,000,000. If the Borrower shall fail to specify whether a Loan is to
be funded as a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan and the request for such
Loan is otherwise timely received in accordance with this Paragraph 2(a), the
Borrower will be deemed to have requested a Eurodollar Rate Loan with a Stub
Interest Period. Swing Line Loans may be in any amount acceptable to the Swing
Line Lender in its discretion. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any
portion of its Loans in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion,
including, without limitation, in the Grand Cayman inter-bank market, in the
London inter-bank market and within the United States.

          2(b) Conversion of Loans. The Borrower may elect to convert Loans
between Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans by giving the Administrative
Agent irrevocable written notice of such election no later than 9:00 a.m.
(Pacific Time) on the third Business Day preceding, and effective as of, (1) the
10th day of any month in the case of conversion of Term Loans from Base Rate
Loans, (2) any date after disbursement of a Swing Line Loan acceptable to the
Swing Line Lender and (3) in the case of conversion from Eurodollar Rate Loans,
the last day of the applicable Interest Period (other than a Stub Interest
Period) and on the 10th day of a month in any Stub Interest Period. Upon
conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the principal amount of
each such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or,
in the case of Swing Line Loans, the amount of the Swing Line Loans being
converted), and upon conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans outstanding shall be in a minimum amount of
$1,000,000. No Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan if an
Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing as of the
requested conversion date.

          2(c) Continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower may elect
from time to time to have any Term Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan continued
as such upon the expiration of the Interest Period (except a Stub Interest
Period) applicable thereto and on the 10th day of a month in any Stub Interest
Period by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such
election no later than 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the third Business Day

                                        9

<PAGE>

preceding, and effective as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period;
provided, however, so long as any Event of Default or Potential Default has
occurred and is continuing (i) no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued as such
and, (ii) unless the Lenders elect to cause such conversion earlier,
automatically on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any outstanding
Loan bearing interest as a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base
Rate Loan. If the Borrower shall fail to give notice of its election to continue
a Term Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan as such as provided above, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have elected on the last day of the applicable
Interest Period to have continued such Eurodollar Rate Loan as a Eurodollar Rate
Loan with an Interest Period of one month ending on the 10th day of the
succeeding month. No Swing Line Loan may be continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

          2(d) Form of Requests for Loans, etc.

               (1) Each request for the funding, continuation or conversion of a
Loan shall be evidenced by the timely delivery by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent of a duly executed Loan Request or Continuation or
Conversion Request, as the case may be (which delivery may be by facsimile
transmission) written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing no later than
the date of such funding, continuation or conversion. Upon receipt of such
notice for the funding of a Term Loan or Swing Line Loan, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Lender's Percentage Share
thereof (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender of the
amount thereof), whether such Loan is to be funded as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or
Base Rate Loan and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the applicable Interest Period.
Each Lender's Percentage Share of each Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan which
shall be fully funded by the Swing Line Lender) shall be made available to the
Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds no later than 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on
the applicable funding date through deposit to the account designated by the
Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to deliver to the Administrative
Agent its Percentage Share of a proposed Term Loan shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation hereunder to advance its Percentage Share thereof. No
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any such
advance. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the
Borrower of any rights, powers and remedies that it may have against any Lender
for failure of such Lender to fund its Percentage Share of Term Loans as
required by this Agreement.

               (2) As a condition precedent to honoring any request for Loans to
finance Capital Expenditures, the Administrative Agent may require the Borrower
to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such Construction
Documents as shall be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent
(including, without limitation, receipt of unconditional waivers of construction
Liens and, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, invoices paid or to be
paid from the proceeds of such Loans) to assure to the Lenders the Collateral,
rights and remedies and powers intended to be given to them by this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and, in so doing, the Administrative Agent may
determine in consultation with the Borrower, and notify the Lenders, that (i)
the Loans so requested by the Borrower shall be made in multiple disbursements
and (ii) pending disbursement, Loans shall be reserved and not available for
Borrowing for other purposes except in accordance with an Approved Improvement
Budget.

          2(e) Funding by Lenders, etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of funding any
Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender's Percentage Share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such share available on

                                       10

<PAGE>

such date in accordance with Paragraph 2(d) above and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be
made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and
such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or
an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If
such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in
such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.

          2(f) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not
in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation.

          2(g) Make-whole payment. In addition to all other payment obligations
hereunder, in the event: (i) for any reason, any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid
prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (other than a Stub
Interest Period), (ii) the Borrower shall fail to borrow a Eurodollar Rate Loan
after the Borrower has given notice thereof as provided in Paragraph 2(a) above,
(iii) the Borrower shall fail to convert a Base Rate Loan after the Borrower has
given notice thereof as provided in Paragraph 2(b) above or (iv) the Borrower
shall fail to continue a Eurodollar Rate Loan after giving notice thereof as
provided in Paragraph 2(c), then the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lenders
holding the Loans prepaid or not made, continued or converted, through the
Administrative Agent, an additional make-whole payment compensating each Lender
for losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with such
prepayment or such failure to borrow, continue or convert. The Borrower
acknowledges that such losses, costs and expenses are difficult to quantify and
that, in the case of the prepayment of or failure to continue or convert to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the following formula represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of such losses, costs and expenses:

       [RELEVANT AMOUNT] X [RATE DIFFERENTIAL] X [RELEVANT NUMBER OF DAYS]

where:

                                       11

<PAGE>

     "Relevant Amount" means the amount of a Eurodollar Rate Loan being prepaid
or not being converted or continued.

     "Rate Differential" means the amount, if any, by which (a) the interest
rate that is or would be payable, in accordance with this Agreement, on the
Relevant Amount immediately prior to prepayment or failure to convert to or to
continue the relevant Eurodollar Rate Loan exceeds (b) the interest rate that
would be payable on such Relevant Amount if, as of the date of prepayment or
failure, the Borrower requested a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period
terminating on the same day as the Interest Period (the "Broken Interest
Period") applicable to the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan.

     "Relevant Number of Days" means the number of days remaining from and
including the date of calculation until but not including the last day of the
Broken Interest Period.

          2(h) Open Book Account. The Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced
by, and the obligation of the Borrower to make payments in respect thereof and
other amounts payable hereunder, shall be evidenced by a notation on the books
and records of the Administrative Agent and each Lender. Unless the Borrower
delivers written notice to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after the
Administrative Agent sends written notice, prepared in good faith and with
reasonable detail, to the Borrower of the contents of its or a Lender's accounts
or records, the contents thereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error of
the amount of each Loan of the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and
payments thereon. The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make
any such notation shall not affect in any manner or to any extent the Borrower's
Obligations hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a note
which shall evidence such Lender's Loans ("Note").

          2(i) Nature and Place of Payments. All payments made on account of the
Obligations shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable or, in the
case of Swing Line Loans, to the Swing Line Lender, all without setoff or
counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available same day funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes,
fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority
and must be received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time)
(or in the case of Swing Line Loans, 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time)) on the day of
payment (it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is received
after 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) (2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time)) by the Administrative
Agent or Swing Line Lender, respectively, such payment will be considered to
have been made by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day and interest
thereon shall be payable by the Borrower at the then applicable rate during such
extension). All such payments on account of the Obligations shall be made to the
Administrative Agent through its Contact Office (or, in the case of a Swing Line
Loan, as directed by the Swing Line Lender), and the Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its Percentage Share of a payment on Term
Loans (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like
funds as received to such office as such Lender shall have designated to the
Administrative Agent in an Administrative Questionnaire or otherwise notified to
the Administrative Agent.

          2(j) Allocation of Payments Received.

               (1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Borrower waives any right to direct the application of any payments
hereafter received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders from the Borrower,
and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower irrevocably
agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing
exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the then due and
payable Obligations of the Borrower as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may deem advisable.

               (2) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay
in full all amounts due and payable on any date, unless otherwise agreed by all
Lenders or as required by Law, such payment shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent and applied in the following order of priority:

                    (i) First, to the payment of any protective advances that
may be made by the Administrative Agent under a Mortgage or otherwise and other
fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to
the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent)
under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date;

                    (ii) Second, to the payment of all of the indemnification
payments, costs and expenses that are due to the Lenders under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document on such date, ratably based upon the respective
aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing
to the Lenders on such date;

                    (iii) Third, to the payment of all of the fees that are due
and payable to the Lenders under Paragraph 2(p) on such date, ratably based upon
the respective Unused Amount of such Lenders on such date;

                    (iv) Fourth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid
interest on the Obligations under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is
due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date,
ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of interest owed to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date;

                    (v) Fifth, unless the payment is from the proceeds of
Borrowing Base Property to be applied in accordance with the proviso to clause
(vi) below, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding
Swing Line Loans;

                    (vi) Sixth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of
the outstanding Term Loans that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate
amounts of all such principal owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
on such date; provided, however, that if the payment is from the proceeds of
Borrowing Base Property (whether by reason of sale, foreclosure or other
Disposition) financed, directly or indirectly, with Term Loans, such payment
shall be applied to the principal amount of the related Tranche of Loans that
are due and payable to the Lenders on such date, ratably based upon the
respective aggregate amounts of all such principal owing to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders on such date;

                                       13

<PAGE>

                    (vii) Seventh, to the payment of all other Secured
Obligations under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable
to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably
based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Secured Obligations
owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date.

If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to any Secured
Obligations under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for
which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be
applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to
distribute such funds first to repay principal and interest on Swing Line Loans
and then to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender's Percentage
Share of such sum. After final payment in full of the Secured Obligations and
termination of the Commitments, any additional amount received shall be paid or
applied as lawfully required.

          2(k) Telephonic/Facsimile Communications. Any agreement of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by
telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the
Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on
the authority of any Person purporting to be an authorized Person, and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the
Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in reasonable reliance upon such telephonic
or facsimile notice, other than actions or inactions constituting gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations shall not be
affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile
notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of a
confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic or
facsimile notice.

          2(l) Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, on any date that there shall have occurred and be continuing
an Event of Default, at the option of the Lenders (with notice of the exercise
of such option being given to the Borrower promptly in accordance with the usual
and customary procedures of the Administrative Agent) (1) interest payable on
outstanding Loans shall accrue at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of
the interest rate then in effect on such Loans and (2) any and all other
Obligations then outstanding shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to
two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then in effect on Base Rate Loans (the
"Default Rate").

          2(m) Computations. All computations of interest and fees payable
hereunder shall be based upon a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days for
the actual number of days elapsed, and any payment due on a day that is not a
Business Day shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day and
accrue interest and fees until paid.

          2(n) Reduction and Termination of Aggregate Commitments.

               (1) The Aggregate Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the
amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans on the date of such Borrowing, and each
Lender's Commitment shall concurrently and proportionately be reduced. The
Aggregate Commitments (and each Lender's Commitment) shall finally and fully
terminate on the last day of the Availability Period.

                                       14

<PAGE>

               (2) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the Aggregate Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce the
Aggregate Commitments; provided that such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or whole increments of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of any such notice, and any such reduction shall be applied to the
Percentage Shares of the Lenders on a pro rata basis, and concurrently with any
such reduction in the Aggregate Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall
be reduced accordingly.

               (3) Concurrently with any reduction in the Aggregate Commitments
pursuant to this Paragraph 2(n), the Swing Line Sublimit shall automatically be
reduced to the extent that the Swing Line Sublimit otherwise would be greater
than the Aggregate Commitments, and as a condition precedent to any such
reduction in the Aggregate Commitments and the Swing Line Sublimit, outstanding
Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in accordance with Paragraph 1(d)(2) so that
outstanding Swing Line Loans do not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The Swing
Line Sublimit shall automatically be reduced to $0.00, on the last day of the
Availability Period.

          2(o) Additional Commitments.

               (1) Provided there exists no Event of Default or Potential
Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify
the Lenders), the Borrower may request in a writing delivered at any time during
the Initial Period additional Commitments from the Lenders of not less than
$10,000,000. The Effective Aggregate Commitments under this Agreement shall not
exceed $250,000,000, and no more than one such request may be made. At the time
of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative
Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to
respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of
delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

               (2) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such
time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so,
whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage Share
of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period
shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

               (3) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each
Lender of the Lenders' responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the
full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible
Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

               (4) If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with
this Paragraph 2(o), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine
the effective date (the "Increase Effective Date") and the final allocation of
such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective
Date.

                                       15

<PAGE>

               (5) As conditions precedent to or concurrent with such increase,
the Borrower shall:

                    (i) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record,
file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds,
conveyances, pledge agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, trust deeds,
assignments, financing statements and continuations thereof, termination
statements, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances, Mortgage
Policies, endorsements to Mortgage Policies and other instruments as the
Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender through the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order to (A)
carry out more effectively the purposes of the Loan Documents, (B) to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries' properties, assets, rights or interests to the Liens now or
hereafter required to be covered by any of the Collateral Documents, (C) perfect
and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral
Documents and any of the Liens required to be created thereunder and (D) assure,
convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and conform more effectively
unto the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be
granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document or under any other
instrument executed in connection with any Loan Document to which any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries is or is to be a party; and

                    (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of
each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies
for each Lender) signed by an Authorized Officer of each such Person (i)
certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Person approving or
consenting to such increase and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying
that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations
and warranties contained in Paragraph 6 and the other Loan Documents are true
and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that
such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in
which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that
for purposes of this Paragraph 2(o), the representations and warranties
contained in Paragraph 6 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to Paragraph 7(a), and (B) no Event of Default or Potential
Default exists; and

                    (iii) make arrangements to insure the prepayments of any
Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts
required pursuant to Paragraph 2(g)) to the extent necessary to keep the
outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Percentage Shares arising from any
nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Paragraph 2(o).

               (6) Conflicting Provisions. This Paragraph 2(o) shall supersede
any provisions in Paragraphs 2(j) or 11(h).

          2(p) Unused Commitment and Certain Other Fees.

               (1) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Percentage Share of the Aggregate
Commitments a non-refundable unused commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate
times the average actual daily Unused Amount. The unused commitment fee shall
accrue at all times from and including the Closing Date until the end of the
Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the
conditions in Paragraph 5(b) is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly
in arrears on the last Business Day of each January, April, July and October,
commencing the first

                                       16

<PAGE>

such date to occur after the Closing Date and on the last day of the
Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in
arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any such
quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

               (2) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the
Swing Line Lender such fees as shall be set forth in a fee letter from time to
time by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender,
respectively, with reference to this Agreement.

     3.   Illegality; Increased Costs; Taxes.

          3(a) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, to the
extent that any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in
the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender
to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement: (i)
the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate
Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be
canceled and (ii) such Lender's Percentage Share of Loans then outstanding as
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans at the
end of their respective Interest Periods or within such earlier period as may be
required by law. In the event of payment or conversion of any such Loan prior to
the end of its applicable Interest Period, the Borrower hereby agrees promptly
to pay any Lender affected thereby, upon demand, the amounts required pursuant
to Paragraph 2(g) above. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

          3(b) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

               (1) Impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in
by, any Lender or the Swing Line Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate);

               (2) Subject any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, to any Tax of
any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any participation in a Swing
Line Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation
of payments to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender in respect thereof (except
for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Paragraph 4(e) below) and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender or the Swing Line Lender; or

               (3) Impose on any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the London
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement
or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or Swing Line Lender or any
participation therein; and

               (4) The result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the
cost to such Lender or Swing Line Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar
Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make or participating in any such
Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or Swing Line Lender, or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by

                                       17

<PAGE>

such Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
any other amount);

then, upon request of such Lender or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will pay to
such Lender or Swing Line Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

          3(c) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Swing Line Lender
determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Swing Line Lender or
any lending office of such Lender or the Swing Line Lender or the Lender's or
Swing Line Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's, the
Swing Line Lender's or on its holding company's capital as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or Swing Line Lender or the Loans made
by such Lender or the Swing Line Lender to a level below that which such Lender,
the Swing Line Lender or such Lender's or the Swing Line Lender's holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender's or the Swing Line Lender's policies and the policies
of such Lender's or the Swing Line Lender's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender
or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or its holding company for
any such reduction suffered.

          3(d) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the
Swing Line Lender prepared in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Swing Line Lender
or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Paragraphs 3(b) or
3(c) above and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error; provided, however, that prior to demanding compensation or other payment
under such paragraphs, each Lender and the Swing Line Lender shall designate a
different lending office from which to make Loans and to participate in rights
under this Agreement if such designation will avoid, or reduce, the amount of
compensation payable under such paragraphs and will not, in the good faith
judgment of such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to it. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Swing Line
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Swing Line
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Paragraphs 3(b) or 3(c) shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender or the Swing Line Lender to demand such
compensation.

          3(e) Taxes.

               (1) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to
deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Paragraph 3(e)) the Administrative Agent, the Lender or the
Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.

                                       18

<PAGE>

               (2) Without limiting the provisions of subparagraph (1) above,
the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

               (3) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Swing Line Lender within 10 days after written for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Paragraph 3(e)) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate prepared in good faith and setting forth
in reasonable detail the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender or the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender
or the Swing Line Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided,
however, that prior to demanding compensation or other payment under this
Paragraph 3(e), each Lender or the Swing Line Lender shall designate a different
lending office from which to make Loans and to participate in rights under this
Agreement if such designation will avoid, or reduce, the amount of compensation
payable under this Paragraph 3(e) and will not, in the good faith judgment of
such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to
such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.

               (4) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

               (5) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction
is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any
Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

               (6) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date
on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever
of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming the benefits of the exemption for

                                       19

<PAGE>

portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the
effect that such Foreign Lender is not (x) a "bank" within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a "controlled
foreign corporation" described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or (iv) any other form
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax (including any backup
withholding tax) duly completed together with such supplementary documentation
as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made.

               (7) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Swing Line
Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with
respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Paragraph 3(e), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
the Borrower under this Paragraph 3(e) with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be,
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swing Line Lender agrees
to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swing Line Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Paragraph 3(e) shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swing Line
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

          3(f) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Paragraph 3(d), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Paragraph 3(e), or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
and consents contained in Paragraph 2(g)), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment) pursuant to a duly executed Assignment and
Assumption, provided that: (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, participations in Swing
Line Loans and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Document, including any amounts
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (ii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Paragraph 3(d) or payments required to be made pursuant to Paragraph 3(e), such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

     4.   Guaranty.

          4(a) Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and
performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, subject to the
limitations set forth in this Agreement, prompt payment when due, whether at
stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise,
and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future Secured
Obligations of the Borrower of every kind, nature and character, direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or
involuntary and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees indemnities,
damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrower to any Secured Party
(including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other
modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by
any Secured Party in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof), and
whether recovery upon such indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter
become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any
proceeding or case commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower under
any Debtor Relief Law, and including interest that accrues after the
commencement by or against the Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Laws (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). The Secured Parties'
books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon
each Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the
existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any
collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed
Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any
Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any
defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all
of the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an
aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States
Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

          4(b) No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor shall
make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of
and without deduction for any taxes (other than required deductions for Excluded
Taxes), levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings,
compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter
imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or
taxing or other authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to
make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one
arising with respect to Taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of a
Secured Party) is imposed upon a Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by
it hereunder, such Guarantor will pay to such Lender, on the date on which such
amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as
shall be necessary to enable such Lender to receive the same net amount which
such Lender would have received on such due date had no such obligation been
imposed upon such Guarantor. Each Guarantor will deliver promptly to the
Administrative Agent for the account of any such Lender certificates or other
valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect
to payments made by such Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of each Guarantor
under this Paragraph 4(b) shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

                                       21

<PAGE>

          4(c) Rights of Secured Parties. Each Guarantor consents and agrees
that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice
or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness
hereof: (1) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise
change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
part thereof; (2) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to
perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this
Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) apply such security and direct the
order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties
in their sole discretion may determine; and (4) release or substitute one or
more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the
taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for
this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

          4(d) Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (1) any defense arising by
reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other
guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or
omission of the Lender) of the liability of the Borrower; (2) any defense based
on any claim that such Guarantor's obligations exceed or are more burdensome
than those of the Borrower; (3) the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting the Guarantor's liability hereunder; (4) any right to require the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to proceed against the Borrower,
proceed against or exhaust any security for any of the Secured Obligations, or
pursue any other remedy in Secured Parties' or Administrative Agent's power
whatsoever; (5) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now
or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; and (6) to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may
be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or
exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs
and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance,
notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices
of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of
this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional
Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that are
or may become available to such Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855,
inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code.

          4(e) Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are
independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other
guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against such Guarantor to
enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity
is joined as a party.

          4(f) Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of
subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with
respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid and
performed in full and all Commitments are terminated. If any amounts are paid to
any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall
be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and
shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

                                       22

<PAGE>

          4(g) Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and
irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and
shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any
other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in
immediately available funds and all Commitments are terminated. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be
revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or
any Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party
exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or
otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not
occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party is in
possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior
revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each
Guarantor under this Paragraph 4(g) shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

          4(h) Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of
all obligations and Indebtedness of the Borrower owing to such Guarantor,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any
obligation of the Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party or resulting from such Guarantor's performance under
this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed
Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or
Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance
received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the
Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without
reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this
Guaranty.

          4(i) Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time
for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with
any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor
Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each
Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent.

          4(j) Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket
expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and the allocated cost and
disbursements of internal legal counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement
or protection of the Administrative Agent's and Secured Parties' rights under
this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any
incurred during any "workout" or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of
any rights of any Secured Party in any proceeding any Debtor Relief Laws. The
obligations of the Guarantors under this Paragraph 4(j) shall survive the
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

          4(k) Condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees
that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining
from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the
financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other
guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that no Secured Party has any duty,
and no Guarantor is relying on any Secured Party at any time, to disclose to
such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial
condition of the

                                       23

<PAGE>

Borrower or any other guarantor. Each Guarantor waives any duty on the part of
any Secured Party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the
failure to provide the same.

          4(l) Indemnification and Survival. Without limitation on any other
obligations of the Guarantors or remedies of the Secured Parties under this
Guaranty, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party from and
against, and shall pay on demand, any and all damages, losses, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and the allocated cost and
disbursements of internal legal counsel) that may be suffered or incurred by
such Secured Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any
Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms;
provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Secured
Party to the extent that such damages, losses, liabilities and expenses result
from (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party. The
obligations of the Guarantors under this Paragraph 4(l) shall survive the
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

          4(m) Foreclosure.

               (1) Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if any
Secured Party forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property
security for the Guaranteed Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or
destroy any ability that the Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement,
contribution, or indemnification from the Borrower or others based on any right
such Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or
indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under this Guaranty. Each
Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this
Paragraph 4(m), such potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor's
rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty
based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted
in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this
Guaranty, each Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives
and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Guarantor will be fully
liable under this Guaranty even though any Secured Party may foreclose, either
by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust
securing the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) agrees that such Guarantor will not
assert that defense in any action or proceeding which any Secured Party may
commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights
and defenses waived by such Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or
defense that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or
arising out of any one or more of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code;
and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on this
waiver in creating the Guaranteed Obligations and that this waiver is a material
part of the consideration which the Lender is receiving for creating the
Guaranteed Obligations.

               (2) Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such
Guarantor may have because of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is secured by
real property. This means, among other things: (i) a Secured Party may collect
from each Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property
collateral pledged by the Borrower; and (ii) if a Secured Party forecloses on
any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (A) the amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price, and (B) a Secured Party may collect from such Guarantor
even if the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property

                                       24

<PAGE>

collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the
Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and
defenses each Guarantor may have because any of the Guaranteed Obligations is
secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited
to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.

               (3) Each Guarantor waives any right or defense it may have at law
or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a fair
market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a
foreclosure.

          4(n) Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any
Person of a Joinder in substantially the form of Exhibit E (a "Joinder") to this
Agreement, such Person shall become and be a Guarantor and each reference in
this Guaranty, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a "Guarantor"
shall also mean and be a reference to such Person, and each reference to this
Guaranty shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as so supplemented.

          6(d) Governmental Authorization; Other Consents. Except such as have
been obtained and are in full force and effect, no approval, consent, exemption,

transactions or the rights of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries freely to
transfer or otherwise Dispose of, or to create any Lien on, any properties now
owned or hereafter acquired by any of them.

          6(e) Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan
Document, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered

properties or revenues that (1) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or

Corporation and its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee
simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all property necessary or used in
the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The property of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries is subject
to no Liens, other than Permitted Liens. The provisions of this Agreement and
Collateral Documents create legal, valid, perfected enforceable and continuing
security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent for

to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, no Environmental Claim
has been made or, to the knowledge of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries,
threatened against the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective interests in Real Property, and no facts exist which could give rise
to any such Environmental Claim.

          6(l) Insurance. The properties of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries
are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not

similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the
Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary operates. Such insurance conforms to the
requirements of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Paragraph
7(h) below.

appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves
have been

                                       30

such a letter will be timely submitted or is currently being processed by the

extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has
been made with respect to any Plan.

               (2) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of any Loan
Party, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental
Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation

reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which,
with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such
liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer
Plan; and (v) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a
transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, in each

purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.

               (2) None of the Borrower, any Person Controlling the Borrower, or

Agent and the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which it or any

                                       31

<PAGE>

of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement, certificate or other
information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan
Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, with respect to
the Information Memorandum) and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or
supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information, the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared
in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

          6(q) Solvency. The Corporation and its Subsidiaries are, on a
consolidated basis, Solvent.

applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (1)
such Requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (2) the failure
to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          6(s) Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. The Corporation and its
Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all IP Rights that are reasonably
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict
with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Loan Parties,
no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part
or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party infringes upon any rights held by any
other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending
or, to the best knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened, which, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          6(t) OFAC Matters. To the best knowledge of the Corporation, none of

with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following
actions:

                    (i) declare the Commitment of each Lender to make Loans to
be terminated, whereupon such Commitments shall be terminated;

                    (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding
Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or
payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

                    (iii) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all
rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically
terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest
and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable
without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

          9(c) Waiver by the Borrower. At its sole discretion and without any
obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may pay any amount to any Person
as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to preserve the value of,
avoid loss of or damage to, or prevent foreclosure, sale or forfeiture of any
Collateral, including bidding at or redeeming from any sale of Collateral, and
any amount paid or expended by the Administrative Agent in connection herewith
shall constitute Obligations which shall be payable on demand and which shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the date paid by the Administrative
Agent;

                                       47

<PAGE>

          9(d) Appointment of Receiver. If all of the Obligations are due and
payable, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) seek to
obtain appointment of a receiver who shall be vested with any and all such
powers and rights as the Administrative Agent may request of the court,
including the right (i) to sell the Collateral at one or more public or private
sales, (ii) to undertake cultivation, harvest, purchasing, processing, sales,
collections and other work in connection with any Collateral (or any portion
thereof) in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or any
other plan approved by the Administrative Agent and the receiver or the court)
and (iii) to exercise any or all such rights, powers or privileges as the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent might exercise on its own behalf.

          9(e) Lockbox. In its sole discretion and without obligation to do so,
the Administrative Agent may direct all payments on, and other correspondence
regarding, all or any portion of the Collateral to be made to a lockbox and
related bank deposits established by the Administrative Agent with Bank of the
West or any other party acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in the name of
the Administrative Agent, its nominee or that of the Borrower, and bearing the
federal tax identification number of the Borrower and collect, receive and
distribute amounts so received in accordance with this Agreement. Except to the
extent of their respective gross negligence or willful misconduct as found by a
court of competent jurisdiction, neither the Administrative Agent nor any party
holding such lockbox or related bank deposits shall have any duty or liability
to the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Any such lockbox and related bank
deposits shall be maintained and operated in accordance with the then applicable
ordinary and customary practices of the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower
agrees to assist the Administrative Agent in the maintenance and operation of
such lockbox and related bank deposits in accordance with Paragraph 7(n) above.

     10.  The Administrative Agent.

          10(a) Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby
irrevocably appoints Bank of the West to act on its behalf as the Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Paragraph 10 are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Swing Line Lenders, and the Borrower
shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
The Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities provided to
the Administrative Agent in this Paragraph 10 with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the Swing Line
Loans as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" is used in this Paragraph
10 included the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and
shall also have all of the rights, immunities and protections provided elsewhere
in this Agreement with respect to the Swing Line Lender and the Swing Line
Loans.

          10(b) Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the
financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in
any kind of business with

                                       48

<PAGE>

the Corporation or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders.

          10(c) Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have
any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:

               (1) Shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing;

               (2) Shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

               (3) Shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of
any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing
such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent
by the Borrower or a Lender.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of
Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Paragraph 5 above
or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          10(d) Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or
other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and

                                       49

<PAGE>

believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of
such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by
it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

          10(e) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Paragraph 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

          10(f) Resignation by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Swing Line
Lender. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank with an office in California, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in California. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders
and the Swing Line Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective
in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Swing Line Lender under
any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to
hold such Collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative
Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender and the Swing Line Lender, directly, until such time
as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for
above in this Paragraph 10(f). Upon the acceptance of a successor appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Paragraph 10(f)). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the provisions of Paragraphs 10(a) through 10(i) shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions

                                       50

<PAGE>

taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

          10(g) Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each of
the Lenders and the Swing Line Lender acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each of the Lender and the Swing Line Lender also acknowledges that
it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

          10(h) No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no person designated as an "agent" nor any bookrunner or
arranger named herein shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Swing Line Lender
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Lenders
or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any other Lender.

          10(i) Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the Swing Line
Lender irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, (1) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part
of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, (iii) if the release of such Lien is otherwise permitted by this
Agreement or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders; (2) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by this Agreement; and (3) to release any Guarantor
from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Guarantor
pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing
the Administrative Agent's authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to this Paragraph 10(i).

     11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          11(a) Binding on Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no
Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations

way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions

shall

                                       51

<PAGE>

be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in Paragraph 11(p) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          11(b) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or terms or
provisions hereof waived unless such amendment or waiver is in writing and
signed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and, except in the case
of a waiver, the Borrower; provided, however, that no agreement of the Required
Lenders shall be required and no amendment or waiver shall be effective to (1)
waive any condition set forth in Paragraph 5(a) without the written consent of
all the Lenders, (2) extend or increase or reinstate any Commitment of a Lender
without the consent of such Lender, (3) postpone any date fixed by this
Agreement or any Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents without the written consent of each Lender directly affected

on, any Loan (except the Default Rate) or any fees or other amounts payable

Obligations secured thereby without the consent of each Lender holding such
Obligations, (10) amend this Paragraph 11(b), or (11) change the definition of
"Borrowing Base Property," without the consent of each Lender; provided,
however, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender in addition to the
Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and (ii) any letter between the Administrative Agent or the Swing
Line Lender and the Borrower relating to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent or the Swing Line Lender may be amended or waived in writing executed only
by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Lender in default of its obligations under this Agreement shall have any right
to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that
the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the
consent of such Lender.

          11(c) Cumulative Rights; No Waiver. The rights, powers and remedies of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and in
addition to all rights, power and remedies provided under any and all agreements
with the Loan Parties, whether at law, in equity or otherwise. Any delay or
failure by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right, power
or remedy shall not constitute a waiver thereof by such Persons, and no single
or partial exercise by any of such Persons of any right, power or remedy shall
preclude other or further exercise thereof or any exercise of any other rights,
powers or remedies.

          11(d) Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements herein contained on the part of the Loan Parties shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and shall be effective until the Obligations are

be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single

shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in

right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any
principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations
greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall (1) notify the Administrative Agent of
such fact, and (2) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of
and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them,
provided that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Paragraph 11(h)
shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swing Line Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Loan Parties
consent to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent that they may effectively do
so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to
the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the any Loan Party rights of
setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such
participation.

          11(i) Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Venue; Service of Process.

               (1) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of California sitting in Los Angeles County and of the United States
District Court of the Central District of California, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any

                                       54

<PAGE>

judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall
affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swing Line
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in
the courts of any jurisdiction

               (2) Waiver of Venue. Each Loan Party irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in any court referred to in subparagraph (1) above. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

               (3) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Paragraph 11(e).
Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve
process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

          11(j) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH 11(J).

          11(k) Expenses, Indemnity; Damages Waiver.

               (1) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates
(including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent and costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent
in connection with any Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution services), and shall pay all fees and time charges and
disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of the Administrative Agent, in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein,
the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (subject to the provisions of the fee
letter between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with reference to this
Agreement) or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions

                                       55

<PAGE>

hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swing Line Lender (including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent),
and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Swing Line Lender in connection with
the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Paragraph 11(k), or (B) in connection with the Loans made, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans.

               (2) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
"Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel or in-house counsel
for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any
Indemnitee by any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of (i) the execution or delivery by the Borrower or any Guarantor of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby or the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder, (ii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claims related in
any way to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from (A) the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) any claim
asserted by one or more shareholders, directors, officers or employees of such
Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee seeking indemnification from the Borrower pursuant to
this Paragraph agrees to give to the Borrower notice promptly after receiving
written notice that a claim giving rise to such indemnification obligations of
the Borrower has been made against such Indemnitee, but the failure of any
Indemnitee to give such notice shall reduce the indemnification obligations of
the Borrower under this Agreement only to the extent that such failure
materially increases the amount of such indemnification obligation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not, in connection with any
single proceeding or series of related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm or internal
legal department to be selected by the Administrative Agent; provided that if an
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be legal defenses
available to it which are additional to or different from those available to
other Indemnitees and may conflict therewith or (ii) the representation of such
Indemnitee and the other Indemnitees by the same counsel would otherwise be
inappropriate under applicable principles of professional responsibility, such
Indemnitee shall have the right to select and retain separate counsel to
represent such Indemnitee in connection with such proceedings at the expense of
the Borrower.

               (3) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for
any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subparagraph (1)
or (2) of this Paragraph 11(k) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or
the Swing Line Lender (or any sub-agent thereof), any Lender or any Related
Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender (or any such sub-agent), such
Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Percentage Share
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss,

                                       56

<PAGE>

claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender (or any such
sub-agent) or the such Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related
Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent or the Swing
Line Lender (or any such sub-agent) or such Lender in connection with such
capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subparagraph (3) are subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement.

               (4) Waiver of Certain Damages. No Indemnitee referred to in
Paragraph 11(k)(2) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

               (5) Payments. All amounts due under this Paragraph 11(k) shall be
payable on demand therefor. All references in this Paragraph 11(k) to the
Administrative Agent shall, to the extent appropriate, also refer to any other
Person designated as an "agent," bookrunner or arranger.

          11(l) Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or
all of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment
or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (through the
Administrative Agent), or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders
enforces their Liens or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other party in connection with any insolvency proceeding, or otherwise, then
(1) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not
occurred, and (2) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or
repaid by the Administrative Agent.

          11(m) Set-off. No Lender or Swing Line Lender shall exercise any right
of setoff or counterclaim to collect any Secured Obligation without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, but the Loan Parties agree that, if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders,
the Swing Line Lender and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at
any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Person to or for
the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of such Loan Party, if any, now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Person irrespective of whether or
not such Person shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent
or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and their respective
Affiliates under this Paragraph 11(m) are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender and its Affiliates
may have.

                                       57

<PAGE>

          11(n) Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or
agreement required hereunder or thereunder shall not in any way affect or impair
the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof.

          11(o) No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of
the Loan Parties, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent, and their permitted
successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal
beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in
connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. None of the
Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties or any Lender shall have any obligation
to any Person not a party to this Agreement or other Loan Documents.

          11(p) Assignments and Participations.

               (1) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to
one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans
at the time owing to it); provided that:

                    (i) Except in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time
owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Bank Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount
of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder)
or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender and participations in
other Aggregate Outstandings subject to each such assignment (determined as of
the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed);

                    (ii) Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Aggregate Outstandings or the Commitment
assigned;

                    (iii) Any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the
Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, unless the Person that is the
proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment (whether or not the
proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

                    (iv) The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire.

               Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Paragraph 11(p), from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder
shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the

                                       58

<PAGE>

extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Paragraphs 3(b), 3(c), 3(e), and 11(k) with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this Paragraph 11(p) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with this Paragraph 11(p).

               (2) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in
California a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

               (3) Participations.

                    (i) Except to the extent that the Special Lender may sell
Special Participations as described in clause (ii) below, any Lender may at any
time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
"Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any such agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to (A) forgive principal or interest on
any Loan, (B) postpone any date fixed for the payment of principal of, or
interest on, any Loan, (C) decrease the rates at which interest or fees payable
to such Lender are payable or (D) release of all or substantially all of the
Collateral. Subject to subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph, the Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Paragraphs 3(b), 3(c)
and 3(e) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to this Paragraph 11(p). To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Paragraph 11(m) as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Paragraph 11(h) as though it were a Lender.

                                       59

<PAGE>

                    (ii) American AgCredit, FLCA (the "Special Lender") may at
any time, with notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent sell special
participations ("Special Participations") pursuant to participation agreements
that are in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to one
or more other farm credit institutions (each a "Special Participant") that is an
Eligible Assignee proportionate interests in its Commitment and Loans under this
Agreement; provided that, (A) except in the case of a special participation in
the entire amount of the Special Lender's Commitment and the Loans, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the Special Lender subject to
each such Special Participation shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of
the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default or Potential
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (B) any Special
Participation must be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line
Lender, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with
a Commitment (whether or not the proposed Special Participant would otherwise
qualify as an Eligible Assignee); (C) each Special Participant shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, if it shall not be a Lender, an
Administrative Questionnaire; and (D) as of the Closing Date, the Special Lender
shall have sold Special Participations to the Special Participants as indicated
in Part II of Schedule 2. Subject to any approval required from the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, from and after the effectiveness of each Special
Participation, the Special Participant thereunder shall be treated as a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the Loans and Commitment subject to such
Special Participation, shall have the rights of a Lender under this Agreement
with a Commitment equal to the allocated Commitment amount indicated in Part II
of Schedule 2, including, without limitation, the right to be considered a
Lender for purposes of determining the Required Lenders and the Special Lender
shall no longer have such rights unless and to the extent the same may be
re-acquired by the Special Lender; provided, that (A) no Special Participant may
enter into an Assignment and Assumption, (B) the Special Lender may not execute
an Assignment and Assumption with respect to any interests that are subject to a
Special Participation, and (C) the Special Lender shall not be released from its
obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, its obligation
to fund Loans, except to the extent that any Special Participant performs such
obligations.

                    (iii) For the benefit of the Special Lender and of each
Special Participant, for good and valuable consideration receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, each Loan Party irrevocably waives all of
Borrower's Rights contained in the United States Farm Credit Act of 1971, as
amended. As used herein, "Borrower's Rights" includes, without limitation, all
rights granted to borrowers by the Farm Credit System, including rights granted
to borrowers from a Farm Credit System lending institution as set forth in 12
U.S.C. Section 2199-2202a and all federal regulations related thereto and
promulgated in connection therewith. Each Loan Party further acknowledges that
it has been provided a copy of the Borrower's Rights to be waived and has had
the opportunity to consult with counsel with respect to such waiver of rights.
Each Loan Party freely grants the foregoing waiver with the intent and the
understanding that the Special Lender, each of the Special Participants, the
other Lenders and Participants are relying on this waiver in entering into this
Agreement and granting credit hereunder.

               (4) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not
be entitled to receive any greater payment under Paragraphs 3(b), 3(c) and 3(e)
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to
the participation sold to such

                                       60

<PAGE>

Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Paragraph
3(e) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to
comply with Paragraph 3(e) as though it were a Lender.

               (5) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign
a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or Farm Credit Bank; provided that no such
pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

          11(q) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Swing
Line Lender and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (1) to
its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (2) to the extent required to be provided to any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or
by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party hereto, (5) in
connection with the exercise by any Lenders or the Administrative Agent of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding
adverse to any Loan Party relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or the enforcement by any Lender's or the Administrative Agent's rights
hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Paragraph 11(q), to any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
any Loan Party and its Secured Obligations, (7) with the consent of the Borrower
or (8) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than
as a result of a breach of this Paragraph 11(q) or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source (other than from a Loan Party).

          For purposes of this Paragraph 11(q), "Information" means all
information received from the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries relating to
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Paragraph 11(q)
shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person
has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

          11(r) USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act
(as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on
behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain,

                                       61

information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act.

shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the
original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval
of the Required Lenders), provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or
requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such

requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such

Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the
appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place
more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and
