pursuant to which each such Borrower has granted to Agent, for the benefit of
Agent and Lenders, a first priority lien on the Initial Mortgaged Properties and
the Subsequent Mortgaged Properties to secure the Obligations of the Borrowers.
Each of the Persons indicated as Subsidiary Guarantors on the signatures pages
hereof (each, a "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR") is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty
and the Pledge and Security Agreement, in each case as amended through the date
hereof, pursuant to which such Subsidiary Guarantor has granted to Agent, for

will continue to guaranty or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent
possible, the payment and performance of all "Guarantied Obligations" or
"Secured Obligations", as the case may be (in each case as such terms are
defined in the applicable Credit Support Document). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Credit Support Party hereby acknowledges and
confirms the understanding and intent of such party that, upon the effectiveness
of the First Amendment, the definition of "Secured Obligations" or "Guarantied
Obligations" (in each case as such terms are defined in the applicable Credit
Support Document) includes the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit
Agreement. Each Subordinated Creditor hereby confirms that the Affiliate
Subordination Agreement and all "Subordinated Debt" subordinated thereby will
continue to be subordinated, to the fullest extent possible, to the payment of
all "Senior Indebtedness". Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Subordinated Creditor hereby acknowledges and confirms the understanding
and intent of such party that, upon the effectiveness of the First Amendment,
the definition of "Senior Indebtedness" includes the Obligations of Borrowers
under the Credit Agreement.
Each Credit Support Party and each Subordinated Creditor
acknowledges and agrees that any of the Credit Support Documents to which it is
a party or otherwise bound and the Affiliate Subordination Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder
(which obligations on the date hereof remain absolute and unconditional and are
not subject to any defense, set-off or counterclaim) shall be valid and
enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or
effectiveness of the First Amendment. Each Credit Support Party and Subordinated
Creditor represents and warrants that all representations
C-2

and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the Credit Support
Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound and the Affiliate

of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of that date,
except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to
an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material
respects on and as of such earlier date.
Each Credit Support Party (other than the Borrowers) and each
Subordinated Creditor acknowledges and agrees that (i) notwithstanding the
execution of this Acknowledgment and Consent or the conditions to effectiveness
set forth in the First Amendment, such Credit Support Party or Subordinated
Creditor is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document to consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant
to the First Amendment and (ii) nothing in the Credit Agreement, this
Acknowledgment and Consent or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require
the consent of such Credit Support Party or such Subordinated Creditor to any
future amendments to the Credit Agreement.
THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE UNDERSIGNED SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
