by delivery of a certificate or certificates for shares duly endorsed for transfer to the Company,
and if required with medallion level signature guarantee by a member firm of a national stock
exchange, by a national or state bank (or guaranteed or notarized in such other manner as the
Committee may require).

     The Company and its Related Companies may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax
obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee.

          pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each
          resulting Borrowing);

               (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such

     Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the
     Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid
     as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall

     hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
     Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies
     the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
     outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar

     Lender's share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
     (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence
     and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure
     of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any
     error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower
     to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than
     $500,000. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be applied ratably to the Loans

     conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
     exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
     applicable, for such Interest Period; or

          (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
     (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
     Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
     Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan)
     included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period and (ii) such fact is
     generally applicable to its loans of this type to similar borrowers, as
     evidenced by a certification from such Lenders;

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective;
provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one
Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

               (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
          deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
          the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such
          reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

               (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any
          other condition (other than one relating to Excluded Taxes) affecting
          this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

          (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts
     necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may
     be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered
     to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
     shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
     within 10 days after receipt thereof.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
     pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's
     right to demand

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

     such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
     compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
     reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender,
     as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise
     to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to
     claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law
     giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
     270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
     retroactive effect thereof.

     SECTION 2.10 Break Funding Payments.

     In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan
other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including
as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the
failure to convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.10(b)), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result
of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, then, in any such event,
the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or
expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such
Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period
from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to convert or continue, for the period
that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of
such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     SECTION 2.11 Taxes.

          (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
     Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
     for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower
     shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or 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 Section) the Administrative Agent,
     Lender 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 pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
     Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
     relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
     Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
     of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or
     such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
     account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified
     Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
     payable under this Section) 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 as to the
     amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender,
     or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender
     shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) 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.

          (e) 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 located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party,
     with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower
     (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed
     by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation
     prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as
     will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
     rate.

     SECTION 2.12 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

          (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
     hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under
     Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, or otherwise) prior to 1:00
     p.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on the date when due, in immediately
     available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received
     after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative
     Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day
     for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be
     made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 225 Franklin Street,
     Boston, Massachusetts, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.09,
     2.10, 2.11 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.
     If the Administrative Agent receives a payment for the account of a Lender
     prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, such payment must be
     delivered to the Lender on the same day and if it is not so delivered due
     to the fault of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
     pay to the Lender entitled to the payment interest thereon for each day
     after payment should have been

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

     received by the Lender pursuant hereto until the Lender receives payment,
     at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
     the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
     interbank compensation. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
     is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
     succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
     interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All
     payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

          (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to
     the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest
     and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards
     payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
     entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then
     due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due
     hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
     the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

          (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
     counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
     interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of
     a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
     interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the
     Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
     value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary
     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; 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 shall not be construed to apply
     to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
     express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
     consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
     its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
     Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
     paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
     to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
     Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
     exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with
     respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
     creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          (d) 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 hereunder 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

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

     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 Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
     Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
     compensation.

          (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
     by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.13(d), then the
     Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
     provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
     Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such
     Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
     obligations are fully paid.

     SECTION 2.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

          (a) Each Lender will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after
     the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Person to compensation
     pursuant to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 as promptly as practicable after it
     obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation,
     provided that such Person shall not be liable for the failure to provide
     such notice. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.07, or if
     the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any such Person or
     any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
     Section 2.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or
     minimize the amounts payable, including, without limitation, the
     designation of a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
     hereunder or the assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder to
     another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
     Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
     amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.09, as the case may be, in
     the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
     or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
     Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and
     expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
     assignment.

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.07, 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 Section
     2.09, 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 contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and
     obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
     obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
     assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior
     written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
     unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of
     an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest
     thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from
     the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
     interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

     other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from
     a claim for compensation under Section 2.07 or payments required to be made
     pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in
     such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any
     such assignment and 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.

     SECTION 2.14 Extension.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section, the Borrower may extend
     the Maturity Date of the Loans one (1) time for one (1) year by giving
     written request therefor (the "Extension Request") to the Administrative
     Agent of the Borrower's desire to extend such term, at least sixty (60),
     but no more than one hundred twenty (120), days prior to the Maturity Date.

          (b) If the Maturity Date is extended, all of the other terms and
     conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including
     interest payment dates) shall remain in full force and effect and
     unmodified, except as expressly provided for herein. The extension of the
     Maturity Date is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following
     additional conditions:

               (i) The representations and warranties of each Credit Party set
          forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which such
          Credit Party is a signatory shall be true and correct in all material
          respects on the date that the Extension Request is given to the
          Administrative Agent and on the first day of the extension (except to
          the extent such representations and warranties relate to a specified
          date);

               (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
          continuing on the date on which the Borrower gives the Administrative
          Agent the Extension Request or on the first day of the extension;

               (iii) the Borrower shall be in compliance with all of the
          financial covenants set forth in Article V hereof both on the date on
          which the Extension Request is given to the Administrative Agent and
          on the first day of the extension;

               (iv) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent all
          amounts then due and payable to any of the Lenders, and the
          Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, including the extension
          fee described in Section 2.06(b) hereof;

               (v) the Borrower shall pay for any and all reasonable
          out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, reasonable attorneys'
          fees and disbursements, incurred by the Administrative Agent in
          connection with or arising out of the extension of the Maturity Date;

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

               (vi) no change in the business, assets, management, operations or
          financial condition of any Credit Party shall have occurred since the
          most recent funding of any Loan, which change, in the judgment of the
          Administrative Agent, will have or is reasonably likely to have a
          Material Adverse Effect;

               (vii) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative
          Agent such other documents, financial statements, instruments,
          certificates, opinions of counsel, Title Insurance Policy
          endorsements, reports, or amendments to the Loan Documents as the
          Administrative Agent shall reasonably request regarding the Credit
          Parties as shall be necessary to effect such extension; and

               (viii) a written agreement evidencing the extension is signed by
          the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Credit Parties and any
          other Person to be charged with compliance therewith, which agreement
          such parties agree to execute if the extension conditions set forth
          above have been satisfied.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         Representations and Warranties

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent that:

     SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers.

     Each Credit Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power
and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the
failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in,
and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is
required.

     SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability.

     The Transactions are within the corporate, partnership or limited liability
company powers (as applicable) of the respective Credit Parties and have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability
company action. This Agreement and the Loan Documents have been duly executed
and delivered by each Credit Party which is a party thereto and constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Person, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law.

     SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.

     The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority,
except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b)
will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or
other organizational documents of any Credit Party or any of the Borrower's

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or
result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding
upon any Credit Party or any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries or its assets, or
give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Credit
Party or any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Credit Party or any of
the Borrower's Subsidiaries, except pursuant to the Pledge.

     SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

          (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders financial
     statements (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and
     the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, reported on by Deloitte &
     Touche, LLP, independent public accountants, for the predecessor entities
     for EDR, EDR Athens I, LLC, EDR Tallahassee I, LLC, and EDR C Station, LLC,
     and (ii) combined statements of certain revenues and expenses for the
     fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005,
     for the predecessor entities for EDR Tallahassee Limited Partnership, EDR
     Tharpe Limited Partnership and EDR Lawrence Limited Partnership. Such
     financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
     financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower
     and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in
     accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence
     of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii)
     above.

          (b) Since September 30, 2005, no event has occurred which could
     reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.05 Properties.

          (a) Subject to Liens permitted by Section 6.02, each of the Borrower
     and its Subsidiaries has title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its
     real and personal property material to its business, except for minor
     defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its
     business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their
     intended purposes.

          (b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to
     use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual
     property material to the Borrower's business, and the use thereof by the
     Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any
     other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in
     the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
     Adverse Effect.

          (c) All components of all improvements included within the Real
     Property owned or leased, as lessee, by any Credit Party, including,
     without limitation, the roofs and structural elements thereof and the
     heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, mechanical,
     sewer, waste water, storm water, paving and parking equipment, systems and
     facilities included therein, are in good working order and repair, subject
     to such exceptions which are not reasonably likely to have, in the
     aggregate, a Material

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

     Adverse Effect. All water, gas, electrical, steam, compressed air,
     telecommunication, sanitary and storm sewage lines and systems and other
     similar systems serving the Real Property owned or leased by any Credit
     Party are installed and operating and are sufficient to enable the Real
     Property to continue to be used and operated in the manner currently being
     used and operated, and no Credit Party has any knowledge of any factor or
     condition that reasonably could be expected to result in the termination or
     material impairment of the furnishing thereof, subject to such exceptions
     which are not likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
     No improvement or portion thereof is dependent for its access, operation or
     utility on any land, building or other improvement not included in the Real
     Property owned or leased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, other than
     for access provided pursuant to a recorded easement or other right of way
     establishing the right of such access subject to such exceptions which are
     not likely to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) All franchises, licenses, authorizations, rights of use,
     governmental approvals and permits (including all certificates of occupancy
     and building permits) required to have been issued by Governmental
     Authority to enable all Real Property owned or leased by Borrower or any of
     its Subsidiaries to be operated as then being operated have been lawfully
     issued and are in full force and effect, other than those which the failure
     to obtain in the aggregate could not be reasonably expected to have a
     Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party is in violation of the terms or
     conditions of any such franchises, licenses, authorizations, rights of use,
     governmental approvals and permits, which violation would reasonably be
     expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) None of the Credit Parties has received any notice or has any
     knowledge, of any pending, threatened or contemplated condemnation
     proceeding affecting any Real Property owned or leased by Borrower or any
     of its Subsidiaries or any part thereof, or any proposed termination or
     impairment of any parking at any such owned or leased Real Property or of
     any sale or other disposition of any Real Property owned or leased by
     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any part thereof in lieu of
     condemnation, which in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a
     Material Adverse Effect.

          (f) Except for events or conditions not reasonably likely to have, in
     the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no portion of any Real
     Property owned or leased by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has
     suffered any material damage by fire or other casualty loss which has not
     heretofore been completely repaired and restored to its condition prior to
     such casualty, and (ii) no portion of any Real Property owned or leased by
     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is located in a special flood hazard
     area as designated by any federal Government Authorities or any area
     identified by the insurance industry or other experts acceptable to the
     Administrative Agent as an area that is a high probable earthquake or
     seismic area, except as set forth on Schedule 3.05(f).

          (g) There are no Persons operating or managing any Real Property other
     than the Borrower, the Management Company, and Place Management Group, LLC

Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

     SECTION 3.14 Margin Regulations.

     Property owned or leased by them is in material compliance with all
     applicable Environmental Laws.

other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary

provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party

or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be

                                      -49-

<PAGE>

deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and
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, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii)
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document,
or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the 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 believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. 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.

     The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise
its rights and powers 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 its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs 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.

     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative
Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Lenders, and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of Borrower (provided
no Default has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor. If no 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, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in Boston, Massachusetts, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. 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 Administrative Agent's
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit

                                      -50-

<PAGE>

of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

     Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall 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 related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

                                  Miscellaneous

     SECTION 9.01 Notices.

          (a) if to the Borrower, to it in care of EDR at 530 Oak Court Drive,
     Suite 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38117, Attention: Randall H. Brown (Telephone
     No. (901) 259-2507 and Telecopy No. (901) 259-2594));

     SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

          (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in
     exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document
     shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
     of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps
     to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
     thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and
     remedies of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders hereunder and under
     any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights
     or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
     this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall
     in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph
     (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
     only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
     limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be
     construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
     Administrative Agent, any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
     Default at the time.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
     amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
     writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the
     Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required
     Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment
     of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the
     principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
     reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each
     Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of
     the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees
     payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such
     payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment,
     without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change
     Section 2.12(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
     payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v)
     change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required
     Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage
     of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make
     any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
     consent of each Lender, or (vi) release any Credit Party from its
     obligations under the Loan Documents or release any Collateral, without the
     written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement
     shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
     Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the
     Administrative Agent as the case may be.

     SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

          (a) 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, in connection with the syndication of the credit
     facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this
     Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
     hereof

                                      -52-

<PAGE>

     (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
     consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
     Administrative Agent, or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges
     and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, or any
     Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
     connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or
     in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such
     out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
     negotiations in respect of such Loans.

          (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, and 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 fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
     any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out
     of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of
     this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
     performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder
     or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
     contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom,
     (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
     or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its
     Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective
     claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
     foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
     regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
     indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that
     such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from
     the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined
     by a court of law in a final non-appealable judgment.

          (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
     to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of
     this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
     Agent such Lender's Applicable Percentage (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,
     claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was
     incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as
     such.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not
     assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
     of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
     opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
     as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
     hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

          (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
     ten days after written demand therefor.

                                      -53-

     SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) 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 the Borrower may not assign or
     otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
     prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or
     transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).
     Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
     confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
     successors and assigns permitted hereby 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.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii)
     below, any Lender may assign to one or more 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) with the prior
     written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

               (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall
     be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an
     Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
     any other assignee; and

               (B) the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
     conditions:

               (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
     Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
     the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the
     Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender 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) shall not be less
     than $5,000,000.00 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
     otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be
     required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

               (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
     proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to
     prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
     Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or
     Loans;

               (C) 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 $3,500.00; and

                                      -54-

<PAGE>

               (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to
     the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

               For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved
     Fund" has the following meaning:

     "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is
administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an
entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
     paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date
     specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall
     be a party hereto and, to the 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's 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 Sections 2.09,
     2.10, 2.11 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
     obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section
     9.04 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
     paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
     the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitment
     of, and principal amount 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.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
     executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
     Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
     hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)
     of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by
     paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
     Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in
     the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
     Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
     paragraph.

                                      -55-

<PAGE>

          (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
     Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other
     entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and
     obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
     Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's
     obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
     shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
     performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative
     Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
     with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement. Any 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 any amendment,
     modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b)
     that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section,
     the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
     of Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
     and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
     this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
     be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender,
     provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12(c) as though
     it were a Lender.

          (d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
     under Section 2.09 or 2.11 than the applicable Lender would have been
     entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
     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 Section 2.11 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 Section 2.11(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (e) 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, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge
     or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
     assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
     obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
     Lender as a party hereto.

     SECTION 9.05 Survival.

     All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the

                                      -56-

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of
Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

     SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Joint and Several.

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

          (b) This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to
     fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract
     among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any
     and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating
     to the subject matter hereof.

          (c) Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
     effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and
     when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
     which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other
     parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
     benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
     Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
     by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
     counterpart of this Agreement.

          (d) Each Person constituting the Borrower shall be bound jointly and
     severally with one another to make, keep, observe and perform the
     representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations and
     liabilities imposed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon the
     "Borrower."

          (e) Each Borrower agrees that it shall never be entitled to be
     subrogated to any of the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's rights
     against any Credit Party or other Person or any collateral or offset rights
     held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for payment of the Loans
     until the full and final payment of the Loans and all other obligations
     incurred under the Loan Documents and final termination of the Lenders'
     obligations, if any, to make further advances under this Agreement or to
     provide any other financial accommodations to any Credit Party. The value
     of the consideration received and to be received by each Borrower is
     reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of each
     Borrower incurred or arising under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower has
     determined that such liability and obligation may reasonably be expected to
     substantially benefit each Borrower directly or indirectly. Each Borrower
     has had full and complete access to the underlying papers relating to the
     Loans and all of the

                                      -57-

<PAGE>

     Loan Documents, has reviewed them and is fully aware of the meaning and
     effect of their contents. Each Borrower is fully informed of all
     circumstances which bear upon the risks of executing the Loan Documents and
     which a diligent inquiry would reveal. Each Borrower has adequate means to
     obtain from each other Borrower on a continuing basis information
     concerning such other Borrower's financial condition, and is not depending
     on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to provide such information, now
     or in the future. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative
     Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to advise or notify
     any Borrower or to provide any Borrower with any data or information
     regarding any other Borrower.

     SECTION 9.07 Severability.

     Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender
and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and
application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each
Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

     itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and
     federal courts in Boston, Massachusetts and in New York, New York, and any
     appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out

<PAGE>

     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 shall affect any right
     that the Administrative Agent, or any Lender may otherwise have to bring

     Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
     jurisdiction.

          (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the

     may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
     proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
     Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of

     of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of

     Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve

     SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

     EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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, 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 PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     SECTION 9.11 Headings.

     Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not
affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.

     SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal

                                      -59-

<PAGE>

counsel and other advisors (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), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of
or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower
or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than
as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means
all information received from any Credit Party relating to the Credit Party or
its business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Credit Party; provided that, in the case of information
received from any Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.

     SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation.

     If at any time there exists a maximum rate of interest which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lenders in
accordance with applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"), then notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, at any time the interest applicable to any
Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as
interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the "Charges"), shall
exceed such Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan
hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not payable as result
of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to the Lenders in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by the Lenders. If, for any reason
whatsoever, the Charges paid or received on the Loans produces a rate which
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders shall credit against the principal of the
Loans (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to
the payor of such Charges) such portion of said Charges as shall be necessary to
cause the interest paid on the Loans to produce a rate equal to the Maximum
Rate. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holders of the Loans for the
use, forbearance or detention of the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts
throughout the full term of this Agreement, so that the interest rate is uniform
throughout the full term of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall
control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or
oral, between the parties hereto. On each day, if any, that Texas law governs

                                      -60-

<PAGE>

the maximum rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by the Lenders, the Maximum Rate shall be the "weekly
ceiling" (as defined in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the "Texas
Finance Code") as amended) for that day. The Administrative Agent may from time
to time, as to current and future balances, implement any other ceiling under
the Texas Finance Code by notice to the Borrower, if and to the extent permitted
by the Texas Finance Code. Without notice to the Borrower or any other person or
entity, the Maximum Rate, if any, shall automatically fluctuate upward and
downward as and in the amount by which such maximum nonusurious rate of interest
permitted by applicable law fluctuates.

     SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act.

     Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower 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, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act.

     In June 2001, the United State Department of Justice, or DOJ, notified JPI
of an on-going investigation regarding possible violations of the ADA and the
FHAA at various residential properties developed by JPI, mostly multi-family
apartment communities. Of the 14 student housing communities the Borrower is
acquiring from JPI in the acquisition, one property is included in those
reviewed by the DOJ to date. The DOJ has reviewed the property plans for this
property but has not issued a report regarding its review. In October 2002, the
DOJ indicated that the investigations were being delayed for an undetermined
period of time. This investigation has not been resolved and, at this point, no
conclusion can be reached regarding what will be required to conclude it or
whether it will result in a dispute or legal proceedings with the DOJ.
Noncompliance with the ADA and the FHAA could result in the imposition of
injunctive relief, fines, awards of damages to private litigants or additional
capital expenditures to remedy such noncompliance. The Borrower is unable to
predict the outcome of the DOJ's investigation related to the JPI portfolio.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available
to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set

     WHEREAS, the Borrower and each Guarantor, though separate legal entities,

their collective efforts;

     WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial
accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and,
accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower's obligations
to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

     WHEREAS, each Guarantor's execution and delivery of this Guaranty is one of
the conditions precedent to the Agent and the Lenders making, or continuing to

     Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a

this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with its terms
and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be

other liability of the Borrower;

this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such
proceeding;

     (f) any nonperfection of any security interest or other Lien on any of the

regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or

     (j) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor hereunder.

may in accordance with the Credit Agreement, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any
Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in

in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

     Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which
the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

     Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission
or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent
might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to
discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

     Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Agent and/or the Lenders
are prevented from demanding or accelerating payment thereof by reason of any
automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to
receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise
would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

     Section 9. Reinstatement of Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that this
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
with respect to any Obligations if at any time payment of any such Obligations
is rescinded or otherwise must be restored by the Agent and/or the Lenders upon
the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor or otherwise.

     Section 10. Subrogation. Until all of the Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full, any right of subrogation a Guarantor may have shall
be subordinate to the rights of Agent and the Lenders and each Guarantor hereby
waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent and/or the Lenders now
have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and each Guarantor hereby
waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or
collateral given to the Agent and the Lenders to secure payment or performance
of any of the Obligations.

     Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Other Taxes (as
defined in the Credit Agreement); provided that if any Guarantor shall be
required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or 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 Section), the Agent, or Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
(as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made; (ii) such Guarantor shall make such
deductions; and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in
accordance with applicable law.

     Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each
Lender is hereby authorized at any time

                                      C-4

<PAGE>

and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender
to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the
obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty held
by such Lender then due and payable. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest
extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a
participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Credit Agreement, may exercise rights of setoff or
counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if
such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the
amount of such participation.

     Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and
agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and
liabilities of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to such Guarantor of whatever
description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such
Guarantor from the Borrower or any other Guarantor (collectively, the "Junior
Claims") shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations;
provided, however, that payment thereof may be made so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or
indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from the
Borrower or any other Guarantor on account of or in any manner in respect of any
Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

     Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the
Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor's maximum
obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would
not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other
obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or
unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of
applicable law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code of 1978, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") and (b) any state fraudulent
transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding,
whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The
applicable laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the
obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such
Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such
Proceeding are referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions." Accordingly, to the
extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be
subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for
which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount
which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred
under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the
Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This
Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders
hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions,
and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this
Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be
available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

     Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, of
the other Guarantors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the
risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of
the Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor
of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

     Section 16. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Section 17. Jurisdiction; Venue; JURY WAIVER.

          (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
     itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and
     federal courts in Boston, Massachusetts and in New York, New York, and any
     appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out
     of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or for
     recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
     hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of
     any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State or,
     to the extent permitted by 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 Guaranty
     shall affect any right that the Agent, or any Lender may otherwise have to
     bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan
     Document against the Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any
     jurisdiction.

          (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
     the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
     which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
     action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any
     other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this
     Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
     fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
     the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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 GUARANTY, 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 PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
     OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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

                                      C-6

     BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
     SECTION.

     Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Agent may maintain books and accounts
setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable
with respect to the Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any
of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of Obligation or otherwise, the
entries in such account shall be binding upon each Guarantor as to the
outstanding amount of such Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with
respect thereto absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to maintain such
books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of
any of its obligations hereunder.

     Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the
Agent or the Lenders in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against
any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of any such right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other such right or remedy.

     Section 20. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Agent or
the Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person's respective successors and
assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Obligations) in whose
favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference
herein to any Guarantor shall be deemed to include the Guarantor's successors
and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders and the
Agent may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement,
assign, transfer or sell any Obligation, or grant or sell participation in any
Obligations, to any Person or entity without the consent of, or notice to, any
Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying such Guarantor's
obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the
Agent or any Lender to any assignee, transferee or participant of any financial
or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. Each Guarantor may
not assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person.

     Section 21. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except as provided
in the Credit Agreement.

     Section 22. Payments. All payments made by any Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Agent
at the place and time provided for in the Credit Agreement on the date one (1)
Business Day after written demand therefor to such Guarantor by the Agent.

     SECTION 23. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE
GUARANTORS HEREUNDER AND UNDER OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL,

MEMBERS) CONFIRMS THAT IT (BUT NOT ITS LIMITED PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS OR
MEMBERS) IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND ALL OF THE
OBLIGATIONS AND

invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

     Section 26. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for
