Page 27
2.4. Interest on the Loan.
--------------------
(a) Base Rate Portion.
-----------------
Subject to Section 2.4(d), the Base Rate Portion shall bear interest on the
daily unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made until paid in full at a
fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.
(b) Fixed Rate Portions.
-------------------
Subject to Sections 2.4(d) and 2.4(h), Fixed Rate Portions shall bear interest
on the unpaid principal amount thereof during the Fixed Rate Period applicable thereto
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Fixed Rate for such Fixed Rate Period plus
the Applicable Fixed Rate Margin. Each Fixed Rate Portion shall be in an amount of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or Fifty Thousand Dollar ($50,000) increments in excess
thereof. No more than six (6) Fixed Rate Portions shall be outstanding at any one time.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject to the default
interest provisions contained in SectionΒ 2.4(d), if an Event of Default occurs and
as a result thereof the Loan is accelerated, all Fixed Rate Portions will convert to the
Base Rate Portion upon the expiration of the applicable Fixed Rate Periods therefor or
the date the Loan becomes due, whichever occurs first.
(c) Interest Payments.
-----------------
Subject to Section 2.4(d), interest accrued on the Loan shall be payable by
Borrower, in the manner provided in Section 2.6(b), in arrears on the first Business
Day of the first calendar month following the Closing Date, the first Business Day
of each succeeding calendar month thereafter, and on the Maturity Date.
(d) Default Interest.
----------------
Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b)
and the payment dates specified in Section 2.4(c), effective at the option of Requisite
Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any interest payments not paid when due, shall bear interest, payable
upon demand, at a rate which is five percent (5%) per annum in excess of the rate(s)
of interest otherwise payable from time to time under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any of the other Loan Documents, all other amounts due
Administrative Agent or the Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period
is expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall bear interest from
and after demand at the rate set forth in this Section 2.4(d).
(e) Late Fee.
--------
Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Administrative Agent will cause
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement.
Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore,
if Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder through the Maturity
Date, unless waived by Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of this
Section 2.4(e) or by the Requisite Lenders, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each
dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge which is due hereon and
which is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, shall be charged
by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) and paid by Borrower for the
purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. Borrower,
the Lenders and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable
sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a
fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and the Lenders will
incur by reason of late payment. Borrower, the Lenders and Administrative Agent further
agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any
late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue
installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the
other rights available hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Such late charge
shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of Administrative
Agent or any Lender. The Lenders agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
late charge shall be charged by Administrative Agent or any Lender if the principal
balance outstanding under the Loan is then bearing interest at the default rate of
interest set forth in Section 2.4(d). Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf
of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from,
any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees provided for in this Section 2.4(e)
up to a maximum of three (3) times per calendar year.
Page 28
(f) Computation of Interest.
-----------------------
Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in
the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360)
days. In computing interest on the Loan, subject to Section 2.6(b), the date of the
Loan disbursement shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.4, interest in respect of the Loan
shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
(g) Changes; Legal Restrictions.
---------------------------
In the event that, after the Closing Date, (i) the adoption of or any change
in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of a court or
Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or application thereof
by a court or Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by Administrative Agent or
any Lender with any request or directive made or issued after the Closing Date
(whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply
therewith would be unlawful) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
or quasi-governmental authority:
(A) subjects Administrative Agent or any Lender to any tax,
duty or other charge of any kind with respect to the Loan, this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, including the Notes, or changes the basis of taxation of
payments to Administrative Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any
other amount payable hereunder, except for net income, gross receipts, gross profits
or franchise taxes imposed by any jurisdiction and not specifically based upon loan
transactions (all such non-excepted taxes, duties and other charges being hereinafter
referred to as "Lender Taxes");
(B) imposes, modifies or holds applicable, in the determination
of Administrative Agent or any Lender, any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
FDIC insurance, capital allocation or similar requirement against assets held by, or
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, Administrative Agent or such
Lender or any applicable lending office (except to the extent that the reserve and FDIC
insurance requirements are reflected in the "Base Rate" or in determining the Fixed
Rate); or
Page 29
(C) imposes on Administrative Agent or any Lender any other
condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in
existence as of the Closing Date,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative Agent
or any Lender of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in the Loan or to reduce
any amount receivable thereunder; then in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay
to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, within seven (7) days after
Borrower's receipt of written demand, such amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable
allocation this Agreement and affected by this Section 2.4(g)) as may be necessary to
compensate Administrative Agent or such Lender for any such additional cost incurred
or reduced amounts received. Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to
Borrower and in the case of a delivery by such Lender, such Lender shall also deliver
to Administrative Agent, a written statement of the claimed additional costs incurred
or reduced amounts received and the basis therefor as soon as reasonably practicable
after such Lender obtains knowledge thereof. If Administrative Agent or any Lender
subsequently recovers any amount of Lender Taxes previously paid by Borrower pursuant
to this Section 2.4(g), whether before or after termination of this Agreement, then,
upon receipt of good funds with respect to such recovery, Administrative Agent or
such Lender will refund such amount to Borrower if no Event of Default or Unmatured
Event of Default then exists or, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
then exists, such amount will be credited to the Obligations in the manner determined
by Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(h) Certain Provisions Regarding Fixed Rate Portions.
------------------------------------------------
(i) LIBOR Lending Unlawful.
----------------------
If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice
thereof to Borrower and Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the
parties hereto) that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in
or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other
Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or
maintain any portion of the Loan as a Fixed Rate Portion, (A) the obligations of
such Lender to make or maintain any portion of the Loan as Fixed Rate Portions
shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall
notify Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist (and such Lender shall give notice if such circumstances no longer
exist), and (B) if required by such law or assertion, the existing Fixed Rate
Portions of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Portions.
(ii) Deposits Unavailable.
--------------------
If Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that adequate
means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to Fixed Rate
Portions, then, upon notice from Administrative Agent to Borrower the obligations
of all the Lenders to make or maintain any portions of the Loan as Fixed Rate
Portions shall forthwith be suspended until Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Administrative Agent
will give such notice when it determines, in good faith, that such circumstances no
longer exist; provided, however, that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
have any liability to any Person with respect to any delay in giving such notice.
Page 30
(iii) Fixed Rate Price Adjustment.
---------------------------
Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a Fixed Rate
Portion during a Fixed Rate Period shall result in the Lenders incurring additional
costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical
to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the
date a Fixed Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become
due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise ("Price Adjustment Date"), Borrower shall
pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in addition to all other
sums then owing, an amount ("Fixed Rate Price Adjustment") equal to the then present
value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Fixed Rate Portion
for the remainder of the Fixed Rate Period at the rate applicable to such Fixed Rate
Portion, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Fixed Rate
Portion for the same period if the Fixed Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date.
The present value shall be calculated by using as a discount rate the Fixed Rate
quoted on the Price Adjustment Date.
By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that Lenders'
agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration,
given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement.
BORROWER'S INITIALS: _________________
Within seven (7) days after Borrower's receipt of written notice from Administrative
Agent, Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, the Fixed Rate Price Adjustment as calculated by Administrative Agent. Such
written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.
(iv) Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (A) no Lender
has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of
the Fixed Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a Fixed Rate Portion
or a Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; (B) the Fixed Rate is used merely as a reference
in determining such rate and/or Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; and (C) Borrower has
accepted the Fixed Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and a
Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further agrees to pay the Fixed Rate Price
Adjustment and Lender Taxes,if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase,
sell and/or match funds.
Page 31
(i) Withholding Tax
---------------
Exemption. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day on which
interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that
is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof,
agrees that it will deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower two (2) duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI
(and any necessary Form W-8IMY), certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement without any deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes and a valid and duly completed and executed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8ECI further undertakes to deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower two (2)
additional copies of such form (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date
that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments
thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent or Borrower, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement without any deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or
which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form
with respect to it and such Lender advises Administrative Agent that it is not capable
of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal
income taxes. If any Lender cannot deliver such form or delivers one or more such forms
indicating that such Lender is entitled to only a partial exemption from withholding,
then Borrower may withhold from such payments such amounts as are required by the Code.
2.5. [Intentionally omitted]
---------------------
2.6. Payments.
--------
(a) Voluntary Prepayments.
---------------------
At any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may, upon
not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 A.M. (SanΒ Francisco time) on the date given, at any time and from
time to time, prepay the Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. BORROWER
SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO PREPAY THE LOAN OR ANY PORTION THEREOF PRIOR TO THE FIRST
ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLOSING DATE, AND LENDERS SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT ANY
ATTEMPTED PREPAYMENT PRIOR TO SUCH DATE. If, notwithstanding the prohibition set forth
in the preceding sentence, any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
is prepaid voluntarily by Borrower or accelerated by Lenders following a Default prior
to the first anniversary of the Loan for any reason whatsoever, Borrower shall pay to
Lender, in addition to any fees and costs which may be incurred by Lender in connection
with the prepayment of the Loan, including any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment, a prepayment
premium as set forth on Schedule 2.6 attached hereto. Any notice of prepayment given
to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.6(a) shall specify the date of prepayment
and the aggregate principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of
Fixed Rate Portions, Borrower shall pay any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment payable in
respect thereof in accordance with Section 2.4(h). Administrative Agent shall provide
to each Lender a confirming copy of such notice on the same Business Day such notice
is received.
Page 32
(b) Manner and Time of Payment.
--------------------------
All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Administrative
Agent or the Lenders shall be made without condition orreservation of right and free
of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative
Agent's written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender entitled thereto not later than
11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative
Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding
Business Day.
(c) Payment on Non-Business Days.
----------------------------
Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due
on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment
of interest hereunder.
2.7. Notice of Increased Costs.
-------------------------
Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware
of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition which would cause it to be affected
by any of the events or conditions described in Section 2.4(g) or (h), it will notify Borrower,
and provide a copy of such notice to Administrative Agent, of such event and the possible effects
thereof, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect such Lender's rights
to reimbursement provided for herein. Provided no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right (the "Payoff Right") to pay to such
Lender all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts (collectively, the "Payoff
Amount") due such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including amounts due
such Lender under Section 2.4(g)). Borrower may exercise the Payoff Right only by delivering
written notice of Borrower"s exercise of such Payoff Right to such Lender, the Administrative
Agent and the other Lenders within fifteen (15) days after Borrower's receipt of written notice
from such Lender that Borrower owes amounts under Section 2.4(g) and thereafter paying, in
immediately available funds, the Payoff Amount to such Lender within such 15-day period. Upon
such Lender's receipt of the Payoff Amount, such Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of the Loan shall be
terminated, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Loan and the Pro Rata Shares of the Loan of the remaining Lenders shall be adjusted and the
Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each of the Lenders of the adjusted Pro Rata Shares.

interest shall attach thereto), except such taxes, if any, as are reserved against

where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any,
will not have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.
(o) Federal Reserve Regulations.
---------------------------
No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used to purchase or carry any "margin
security" as defined in Regulation U or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any
indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security
or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a "purpose credit"
within the meaning of said Regulation U. Neither Borrower nor the REIT is engaged
primarily in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
out any "margin stock" as defined in Regulation U. No part of the proceeds of the Loan
will be used for any purpose that violates, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions
of Regulation X or any other regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.
(p) Disclosure.
----------
The representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents and
all certificates, financial statements and other documents delivered to Administrative
Agent in connection therewith, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary, in order to make the statements contained
herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided no representation is made as to any information in the financial
reports for any Real Property prior to its ownership by Borrower. The factual information
in any document, certificate or written statement (including, without limitation, the S-11)
furnished to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the REIT or any other Consolidated
Entity with respect to the business, assets, prospects, results of operations or
financial condition of the REIT, Borrower or any other Consolidated Entity, including
operating statements and Rent Rolls for periods when the Real Property covered by such
statements or Rent Rolls is owned by Borrower, for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, was true and correct in all material respects as of the
applicable date. There is no fact known to the REIT, Borrower or any Consolidated Entity
that has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, the REIT and/or any such Consolidated
Entity or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower,
the REIT and/or any such Consolidated Entity, which has not been disclosed herein or in
such other documents, certificates and statements. Borrower has given to Administrative
Agent true, correct and complete copies of all Major Agreements, organizational documents,
financial statements of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities, Unencumbered Pool
Statements and all other documents and instruments referred to in the Loan Documents
as having been delivered to Administrative Agent. Borrower has not intentionally
withheld any material fact from Administrative Agent in regard to any matter raised in
the Loan Documents which would cause its representations and warranties to be misleading.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to projections of Borrower's future
performance such representations and warranties are made in good faith and to the best
judgment of Borrower as of the date thereof.
(q) Requirements of Law.
-------------------
The REIT and the Consolidated Entities are in compliance with all Requirements of Law
(including without limitation the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act, and the
applicable rules and regulations thereunder, state securities law and "Blue Sky" laws)
applicable to it and its respective businesses, in each case, where the failure to so
comply will have a Material Adverse Effect on any such Person. The REIT has made all
filings with and obtained all consents of the Commission required under the Securities
Act and the Securities Exchange Act in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the REIT of the Loan Documents.

(r) Patents, Trademarks, Permits, Etc.

right to use, or have, all permits and other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks,
trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes used in or necessary for the
conduct of each such Person's business as currently conducted, the absence of which would
have a Material Adverse Effect upon such Person. The use of such permits and other
governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how
and processes by each such Person does not infringe on the rights of any Person,
subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any
liability on the part of any such Person which would have a Material Adverse Effect
on any such Person.
(s) Environmental Matters.
---------------------
Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(s) or in any phase I environmental or other
reports delivered to Administrative Agent, to the best knowledge of Borrower (i) the
operations of the REIT and Borrower comply in all material respects with all applicable,
local, state and federal environmental, health and safety Requirements of Law
("Environmental Laws"); (ii) none of the Unencumbered Assets or operations thereon
are subject to any Remedial Action or other Liabilities and Costs arising from the
Release or threatened Release of a Contaminant into the environment in violation
of any Environmental Laws, which Remedial Action or other Liabilities and Costs
would have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower and/or the REIT; (iii) neither the
REIT nor Borrower has filed any notice under applicable Environmental Laws reporting
a Release of a Contaminant into the environment in violation of any Environmental Laws,
except as the same may have been heretofore remedied; (iv) there is not now on or in

applicable Environmental Laws): (A) any underground storage tanks, (B) any
asbestos-containing material, or (C) any polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) used in
hydraulic oils, electrical transformers or other equipment owned by such Person; and
(v) neither the REIT nor Borrower has received any notice or claim to the effect
that it is or may be liable to any Person as a result of the Release or threatened

Section 9.1(g) or 9.1(h) with respect to the REIT or Borrower or any other
Consolidated Entity, the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued
interest on the Loan and all of the other Obligations shall automatically become
immediately due and payable, with all additional interest, fees, costs and
expenses from time to time accrued thereon and/or payable hereunder, and without
presentment, demand or protest or other requirements of any kind (including,
without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice
of intent to demand or accelerate or notice of acceleration), all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall, at the
request, or may, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, by written notice to
Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of, any and all accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loan and all of the other Obligations to be, and the same shall
thereupon be, immediately due and payable with all additional interest from time
to time accrued thereon and without presentment, demand, or protest or other
requirements of any kind (including without limitation, valuation and
appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate
and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Without limiting Administrative Agent's authority hereunder, on or after
the Maturity Date, Administrative Agent shall, at the request, or may, with the
consent, of Requisite Lenders exercise any or all rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents or applicable law or in equity.
(b) Access to Information.
---------------------
If an Event of Default then exists, Administrative Agent shall have, in addition
to and not by way of a limitation on any other rights and remedies contained in
this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, the right within forty-eight (48)
hours after notice to Borrower to obtain access to Borrower's and the
REIT's records (including computerized information, files and supporting
software) relating to the Unencumbered Assets, and its accounting information
relating to the Unencumbered Assets, and to use all of the foregoing and the
information contained therein in any manner Administrative Agent deems
appropriate which is related to the collection of the Obligations. Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes any accountant or management agent employed by
Borrower to deliver such items and information to Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, upon
the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to request and receive, by or through
Borrower or appropriate legal process, any and all information concerning
operations, business affairs and financial condition of the REIT, Borrower, or
any Property of either of them, which is reasonably available to or obtainable
by Borrower. Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender copies of any
information which it obtains pursuant to this Section 9.2(b).
Page 61
(c) Waiver of Demand.
----------------
Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment are hereby waived by
Borrower. Borrower also waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of
all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.
(d) Waivers, Amendments and Remedies.
--------------------------------
No delay or omission of Administrative Agent or the Lenders to
exercise any right under any Loan Document shall impair such right or be
construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and
any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver,
amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan
Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in a writing signed by Administrative
Agent after obtaining written approval thereof or the signature thereon of those
Lenders required to approve such waiver, amendment or other variation, and then
only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies
contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all
shall be available to Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations
have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated.
9.3. Rescission.
----------
If, at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loan, Borrower shall pay all
arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loan which
shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal
and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified
in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Unmatured Events of Default
(other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loan due and
payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant
to SectionΒ 11.4, then by written notice to Borrower, the Requisite Lenders
may elect, in their sole discretion, to rescind and annul the acceleration and
its consequences; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of
Default or Unmatured Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent
thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind
the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite
Lenders; they are not intended to benefit Borrower and do not give Borrower the
right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder,
even if the conditions set forth herein are met. Borrower shall have no right to
enforce this SectionΒ 9.3, or to make any claim hereunder, directly, or as a
third party beneficiary, or otherwise.

AGENCY PROVISIONS
-----------------
10.1. Appointment.
-----------
(a) Each Lender hereby (i) designates and appoints Xxxxx Fargo as Administrative
Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii)
authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents
other than this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders, and (iii) authorizes
Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set
forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, subject to the limitations referred to in Sections 10.10(a) and 10.10(b)
and the other provisions of this Agreement requiring consent or approval of all
the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders. Administrative Agent agrees to act as such
on the express conditions contained in this Article 10.
(b) The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any right to rely on or enforce
any of the provisions hereof (provided that Borrower may rely on the provisions of
Section 10.4(b) and Section 10.9); provided, however, the foregoing shall
in no way limit Borrower's obligations under this Article 10. In performing
its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act
solely as Administrative Agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not
be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or
trust with or for Borrower or any other Person.
10.2. Nature of Duties.
----------------
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties
of Administrative Agent shall be administrative in nature. Subject to the
provisions of Sections 10.5 and 10.7, Administrative Agent shall administer the
Loan in the same manner as it administers its own loans. Promptly following the
effectiveness of this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall send to each Lender
its originally executed Note and the executed original, to the extent the same
are available in sufficient numbers, of each other Loan Document other than the
Notes in favor of the other Lenders and filed or recorded security documents or
instruments, with the latter to be held and retained by Administrative Agent for
the benefit of all the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of
this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is
intended or shall be construed to impose upon Administrative Agent any
obligation in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the REIT and
Borrower in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loan hereunder
and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the REIT and
Borrower, and, except as specifically provided herein, Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect
thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any
time or times thereafter.
10.3. [Intentionally omitted.]
-----------------------
Page 63
10.4. Distribution and Apportionment of Payments.
------------------------------------------
(a) Subject to Section 10.4(b), payments actually received by Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt
thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within one (1) Business Day, provided
that Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lenders interest thereon, at the
Federal Funds Rate, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by
Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to
the Lenders. Subject to Section 10.4(b) all payments of principal and interest
in respect of the outstanding principal of the Loan, all payments of the fees
described in this Agreement, and all payments in respect of any other
Obligations shall be allocated among such Lenders as are entitled thereto, in
proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein.
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within one (1)
Business Day after it receives the same, to each Lender at its primary address
set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and
Assumption, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such
funds as it may be entitled to receive; provided that Administrative Agent shall
in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or
priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all
payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation,
instructions from Requisite Lenders or all the Lenders, as applicable, or an
action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to
any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority
herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Lenders
as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by the
Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with Section 11.4, without
necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other
Person. All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders (including, without limitation, principal and interest
payments) shall not constitute property or assets of the Administrative Agent
and shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan
Documents.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a
Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of any advance hereunder which was
previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all the other Lenders have received payment
in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the principal and interest due in
respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as
provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all
principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which
the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal,
interest and fees being referred to as "Senior Loans"). All amounts
paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to the
Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by
Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective
Pro Rata Shares (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid
in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative
Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall
limit the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan and all other Obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, nor create an Event of Default if
payments are not made to a Defaulting Lender. The provisions of this Section
shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs
and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its
desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting
Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or
approval of the Requisite Lenders or all the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to (A) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the
defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such
Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (B) bring an action or suit against
such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the
defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender
shall indemnity, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other
Lenders harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and Costs, plus
interest thereon at the Default Rate, which they may sustain or incur by reason
of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender's failure or refusal
to abide by its obligations under this Agreement.
Page 64
10.5. Rights, Exculpation, Etc.
------------------------
Neither Administrative Agent, any Affiliate of Administrative Agent, nor
any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or
consultants, shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by
them under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in
connection herewith or therewith, except that Administrative Agent shall be
liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this
Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby; or for the financial condition of the REIT,
Borrower or any of their Affiliates. Administrative Agent shall not be required
to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of
the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or the financial condition of the REIT, Borrower or any of their
Affiliates, or the existence or possible existence of any Unmatured Event of
Default or Event of Default.
10.6. Reliance.
--------
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices,
statements, certificates, orders or other documents, telecopies or any telephone
message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters
pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties
hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for
Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.
10.7. Indemnification.
---------------
To the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by
Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse, within ten (10) Business Days after notice
from Administrative Agent, and indemnify and defend Administrative Agent from
and against any and all Liabilities and Costs which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against it in any way relating to or arising out of its role as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under this Agreement, or any
of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender's Pro Rata Share;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Liabilities and
Costs resulting from Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.7 shall survive
the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. In
the event that after payment and distribution of any amount by Administrative
Agent to the Lenders, any Lender or third party, including Borrower, any
creditor of Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from Administrative
Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Administrative Agent or
disbursed by Administrative Agent to the Lenders, then the Lenders, in
proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares, shall reimburse Administrative
Agent for all such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent
shall not be obligated to advance Liabilities and Costs and may require the
deposit by each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any material Liabilities and
Costs reasonably anticipated by Administrative Agent before they are incurred,
made or payable.
Page 65
10.8. Administrative Agent
--------------------
Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Loan made by it,
Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers
hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the
extent set forth herein for any other Lender. Administrative Agent and any
Lender and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the REIT, Borrower
or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not acting as Administrative
Agent or a Lender pursuant hereto.
10.9. Successor Administrative Agent; Resignation of Administrative Agent; Removal of
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Administrative Agent.
--------------------
(a) Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and
duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days prior
written notice to the Lenders and Borrower, and shall automatically cease to be
Administrative Agent hereunder in the event a petition in bankruptcy shall be
filed by or against Administrative Agent or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
or any other Governmental Authority shall assume control of Administrative Agent or
Administrative Agent's interests under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Further, the Requisite Lenders (other than Administrative Agent) may
remove Administrative Agent at any time for good cause by giving at least thirty
(30) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower
and all other Lenders. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the
acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to
subsection (b) or (c) below.
(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by or removal of Administrative Agent,
the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment
shall be subject to Borrower's consent (other than upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default), which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Any successor Administrative Agent must be a Lender (i) the
senior debt obligations of which (or such Lender's parent's senior
unsecured debt obligations) are rated not less than Baa-2 by Xxxxx'x
Investors Service, Inc. or a comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to
the Requisite Lenders and (ii) which has total assets in excess of Ten Billion
Dollars ($10,000,000,000). Such successor Administrative Agent shall separately
confirm in writing with Borrower the fee to be paid to such Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.5(c).
(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed
within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent, with the consent of Borrower (other than upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default)(which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall meet the
requirements described in subsection (b) above and who shall serve as
Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders, with the
consent of Borrower (other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default), appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided
above.
Page 66
10.10. Consent and Approvals.
---------------------
(a) In addition to any other term or provision of this Agreement which requires
the consent or approval of, or other action by, the Requisite Lenders, each consent,
approval, amendment, modification or waiver specifically enumerated in this Section

(i) Approval of any material amendment of organizational documents (Section 7.2);

(iii) Acceleration following an Event of Default (Section 9.2(a)) or rescission of such

in Section 11.4 shall require the consent of all the Lenders.
(c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in subsection
(a) above, Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Requisite
Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement
or of any of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent is permitted or required
to take or to grant without instructions from Lenders and if such instructions
are promptly requested, Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to
refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be
under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from taking any
action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it
shall have received such instructions from the Requisite Lenders. Without
limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or
refraining from acting under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents
in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where
applicable, all the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender at any time that the Requisite Lenders have instructed Administrative
Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
Page 67
(d) Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent at the
direction or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and the exercise by
Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders
of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all the Lenders,
except for actions specifically requiring the approval of all the Lenders. All
communications from Administrative Agent to the Lenders requesting Lenders'
determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a
written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter
or thing as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is
requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or thing may be
inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii)
shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not
previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral
information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the
matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Administrative
Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof
Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days
(the "Lender Reply Period"). Unless a Lender shall give written notice
to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination
of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons
behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be
deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination
and Borrower and each other Lender may rely on such approval as if given. With
respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Requisite Lenders or all the
Lenders, Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination
for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all the
Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the
course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders by Administrative
Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Requisite Lenders, and
each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such
recommended course of action.
10.11. Certain Agency Provisions Relating to Enforcement.
-------------------------------------------------
Should Administrative Agent (i) employ counsel for advice or other representation
(whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any of the
Loan Documents, or (ii) commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce its
rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, each Lender, upon demand therefor from
time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of the reasonable
costs and/or expenses of any such advice or other representation or enforcement,
including, but not limited to, court costs, title company charges, filing and recording
fees, appraisers' fees and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not
otherwise reimbursed by Borrower, provided that Administrative Agent shall not
be entitled to reimbursement of its attorneys' fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the resolution of disputes between Administrative Agent and
other Lenders unless Administrative Agent shall be the prevailing party in any
such dispute. Any loss of principal and/or interest resulting from any Event of
Default shall be shared by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro
Rata Shares. It is understood and agreed that in the event Administrative Agent
determines it is necessary to engage counsel for the Lenders from and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, said counsel shall be selected by
Administrative Agent.
Page 68
10.12. Ratable Sharing.
---------------
Subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4 the Lenders agree among themselves that
(i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applied to the
payment of the Obligations, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in
effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with
their Pro Rata Shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or
cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Obligations, (ii) if any
of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of
counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of the Obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share of
the payments on account of the Obligations, the one receiving such excess
payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the
receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such
recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such
excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it,
those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust
for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing
party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
pursuant to this SectionΒ 10.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such
participation. No Lender shall exercise any setoff, bankerβs lien or other
similar right in respect to any Obligations without the prior written approval
by Administrative Agent.
10.13. Delivery of Documents. Administrative Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable,
distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate
counterpart signature page hereof, or at such other address as a Lender may
request in writing, (i) copies of all documents to which such Lender is a party
or of which such Lender is a beneficiary, (ii) all documents of which
Administrative Agent receives copies from Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.1 and
11.6, (iii) all other documents or information which Administrative Agent is
required to send to the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iv)
all other information or documents received by Administrative Agent at the
request of any Lender, and (v) all notices received by Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 5.2. In addition, within fifteen (15) Business Days after
receipt of a request in writing from a Lender for written information or
documents provided by or prepared by Borrower, the REIT or any Consolidated
Entity, Administrative Agent shall deliver such written information or documents
to such requesting Lender if Administrative Administrative Agent has possession
of such written information or documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent
or as a Lender.
10.14. Notice of Events of Default.
---------------------------
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default (other than
nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loan) unless Administrative Agent
has received notice in writing from a Lender or Borrower describing such event
or condition and expressly stating that such notice is a notice of an Unmatured
Event of Default or Event of Default. Should Administrative Agent receive such
notice of the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default,
or should Administrative Agent send Borrower a notice of Unmatured Event of
Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
thereof to each Lender. If any individual employed by any Lender who is
responsible for managing, or otherwise involved in, the relationship between
such Lender and Borrower in connection with this Agreement or such Lender and
Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, has or acquires actual
knowledge of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, such Lender
shall promptly give written notice thereof to Administrative Agent.

"Indemnified Matters"); provided, however, that Borrower shall have no
obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to (a) matters for which
such Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to or for which an exemption is
provided in Section 2.4(g) or any other provision of this Agreement, and
(b) Indemnified Matters to the extent caused by or resulting from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of that Indemnitee, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower
shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters
incurred by the Indemnitees.

11.3. Change in Accounting
--------------------
Principles and "Funds from Operations" Definition. Except as otherwise
provided herein, if any changes in accounting principles from those used in the
preparation of the most recent financial statements delivered to Administrative
Agent pursuant to the terms hereof are hereafter required or permitted by the
rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or
successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by the
REIT or Borrower with the agreement of its Accountants and such changes result
in a change in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants,
standards or terms found herein, the parties hereto agree to enter into
negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such
changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial
condition of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities shall be the same after such
changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that no change
in GAAP that would affect the method of calculation of any of the financial
covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until
such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders,
to so reflect such change in accounting principles. The definition of
"Funds from Operations" set forth in Article 1 is based upon the
definition of "Funds From Operations" promulgated by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and effective as of April 5, 2002
(the "NAREIT Definition"). If the NAREIT Definition is modified after
the date of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations
if any party so requests in order to amend the definition of "Funds from
Operations" set forth in this Agreement to make it consistent with the
modified NAREIT Definition; provided, however, that no change in such definition
of "Funds from Operations" shall be given effect until such definition
is amended, in a manner satisfactory to Requisite Lenders, to so reflect such
modification in the NAREIT Definition of "Funds From Operations"; and
provided further, however, that if the effect of such change in the definition
of "Funds from Operations" is to restrict the amount of distributions
permitted under this Agreement to amounts less than what are required to
maintain the REIT's status as a real estate investment trust under the
Code, then Borrower shall be permitted to make the minimum distribution
necessary to maintain the REIT's status as a real estate investment trust
under the Code so long as such distribution would have been permitted under the
"Funds from Operations" definition in effect as of the Closing Date.
Page 71
11.4. Amendments and Waivers.
----------------------
(a) No amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective without the written agreement of Requisite Lenders
(after notice to all the Lenders) and Borrower (except for amendments to
Section 10.4(a) which do not require the consent of Borrower), and
(b) no termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent
to any departure by Borrower therefrom (except as expressly provided in Section
2.4(e) with respect to waivers of late fees), shall in any event be effective
without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders (after notice to all
the Lenders), which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or
withhold at their sole discretion, except that
(A) the following amendments, modifications or waivers shall require the consent of
Requisite Lenders (which Requisite Lenders must include Xxxxx Fargo, so long as
Xxxxx Fargo remains a party hereto):
(i) changing any provision contained in Section 8.2, Section 8.5 or in Section 8.9; or
(ii) changing the definitions of "Total Liabilities," "Gross Asset Value,"
"Unencumbered Asset Value," "Unencumbered Pool," or "Debt", or the definition of any
defined term used in any of the foregoing definitions; or
(iii) subject to clause (B)(ix) below, amending or otherwise modifying the Guaranty; and
(B) the following amendments, modifications or waivers shall require the consent of
all the Lenders:
(i) increasing the Loan and/or any Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan;
(ii) changing the principal amount or final maturity of the Loan or otherwise changing
the Maturity Date, except as otherwise provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions
of Section 2.1(e);
(iii) reducing the interest rates applicable to the Loan;
(iv) reducing the rates on which fees payable pursuant hereto are determined;
(v) forgiving or delaying any amount payable or receivable under Article 2
(other than late fees in accordance with Section 2.4(e));
(vi) changing the definition of "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata Shares";
(vii) changing any provision contained in this Section 11.4;
(viii) releasing any obligor under any Loan Document, unless such release is otherwise
required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement;
(ix) materially amending or otherwise materially modifying the Guaranty; or
(x) consenting to assignment by Borrower of all of its duties and Obligations
hereunder pursuant to Section 11.14.
Page 72
No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Article 10
or any other provision referring to Administrative Agent shall be effective without
the written concurrence of Administrative Agent, but only if such amendment, modification,
termination or waiver alters the obligations or rights of Administrative Agent.
Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower
in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver
or consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.4 shall be binding on
each assignee, transferee or recipient of Administrative Agent's or any
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan under this Agreement or the Loan at the
time outstanding. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any amendment or waiver
executed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders provided that
Administrative Agent certifies to Borrower that Administrative Agent obtained
the approvals or consents required under this Agreement of the Requisite Lenders
or all the Lenders, as the case may be.
11.5. Independence of Covenants.
-------------------------
All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if
a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the
fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the
limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of
Default or Unmatured Event of Default if such action is taken or condition
exists, and if a particular action or condition is expressly permitted under any
covenant, unless expressly limited to such covenant, the fact that it would not
be permitted under the general provisions of another covenant shall not
constitute an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default if such action is
taken or condition exists.
11.6. Notices and Delivery.
--------------------
Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any consent, notice or other
communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and
may be personally served, telecopied or sent by courier service or United States
mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by
courier service, upon receipt of a telecopy (or on the next Business Day if such
telecopy is received on a non-Business Day or after 5:00 P.M. on a Business Day)
or four (4) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail (registered or
certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed). Notices to
Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until received
by Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties
hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this
Section 11.6) shall be as set forth below each party's name on the
signature pages hereof, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be
designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties. All
deliveries to be made to Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders
shall be made to Administrative Agent at the address specified for notice on the
signature page hereto and in addition, a sufficient number of copies of each
such delivery shall be delivered to Administrative Agent for delivery to each
Lender at the address specified for deliveries on the signature page hereto or
such other address as may be designated by Administrative Agent in a written
notice.
Page 73
11.7. Survival of Warranties, Indemnities and Agreements.
--------------------------------------------------
All agreements, representations, warranties and indemnities made or given herein
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the making and repayment of the Loan and such indemnities shall
survive termination hereof.
11.8. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
-----------------------------------------------------
No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default
or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,
right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are
cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.
11.9. Payments Set Aside.
------------------
To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent
or the Lenders, or Administrative Agent or the Lenders exercise their rights of
setoff, and such payment or payments or payments or the proceeds of such setoff
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.
11.10. Severability.
------------
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, provided, however, that if the
rates of interest or any other amount payable hereunder, or the collectability
thereof, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
Lenders' obligations to make or continue the Loan shall not be enforceable.
11.11. Headings.
--------
Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference
only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be
given any substantive effect.
11.12. Governing Law; Waiver.
---------------------
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
11.13. Limitation of Liability.
-----------------------
To the extent permitted by applicable law, no claim may be made by
Borrower, any Lender or any other Person against Administrative Agent or any
Lender, or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents
of any of them, for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in
respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability
arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or
any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower and
each Lender hereby waive, release and agree not to xxx upon any claim for any
such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to
exist in its favor.
Page 74
` 11.14. Successors and Assigns.
----------------------
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee or transferee of the Loan
and the Pro Rata Shares of the Loan of the Lenders under this Agreement, and in
the event of such transfer or assignment, the rights and privileges herein
conferred upon Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall automatically extend
to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and
conditions hereof. Borrower's rights and interests hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, and Borrower's duties and Obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred
without the consent of all the Lenders.
11.15. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE, AND ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY BORROWER WITH RESPECT
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE, BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
FEDERAL COURT DISTRICT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION
AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION
WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE
AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY FINAL JUDGMENT
RENDERED THEREBY FROM WHICH NO APPEAL HAS BEEN TAKEN OR IS AVAILABLE. BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS NOTICE ADDRESS SPECIFIED
ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE (A) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND (B) ANY OBJECTION (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION OF THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS
OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS) WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE
RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE
RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
11.16. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Inconsistencies.
--------------------------------------------
This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be
executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one
and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when Borrower, the
initial Lenders and Administrative Agent have duly executed and delivered signature
pages of this Agreement to each other (delivery by Borrower to the Lenders and by
any Lender to Borrower and any other Lender being deemed to have been made by delivery to
Administrative Agent). Administrative Agent shall send written confirmation of
the Closing Date to Borrower and each other Lender promptly following the
occurrence thereof. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be
construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to
the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually and
directly inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document,
this Agreement shall govern.
Page 75
11.17. Performance of Obligations.
--------------------------
Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, make any
payment or perform any act required of Borrower under any Loan Document which Borrower
has failed to make or do.
11.18. Construction.
------------
The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each party and its counsel have
reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to
the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments
or exhibits hereto.
11.19. Entire Agreement.
----------------
This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all
certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent,
embodies the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written and
oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
11.20. Assignments and Participations.
------------------------------
(a) After first obtaining the approval of Administrative Agent and Borrower
(provided that the approval of Borrower shall not be required upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default), which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or
financial institutions, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share
of the Loan) and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) each such
assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and such percentage of the assigning Lender s rights and
obligations shall be the same percentage with respect to both such Lender s
Pro Rata Share of the Loan, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Pro Rata Share
of the Loan of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000), (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent, for its approval and acceptance, an Assignment
and Assumption, (iv) Administrative Agent shall receive from the assignor a
processing fee of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) and (v) if such
assignment is less than all of the Pro Rata Share of the Loan of the assigning
Lender, after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate amount of the Pro
Rata Share of the Loan of the assigning Lender shall in no event be less than
Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000). Without restricting the right of Borrower
or Administrative Agent to reasonably object to any bank or financial
institution becoming an assignee of an interest of a Lender hereunder, each
proposed assignee must be an existing Lender or a bank or financial institution
which (A) has (or, in the case of a bank which is a subsidiary, such bank's
parent has) a rating of its senior unsecured debt obligations of not less than
Baa-2 by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. or a comparable rating by a rating
agency acceptable to Administrative Agent and (B) has total assets in excess of
Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000). Unless Administrative Agent or Borrower
gives written notice to the assigning Lender that it objects to the proposed
assignment (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such
objection) within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the assigning
Lender's written request for approval of the proposed assignment,
Administrative Agent or Borrower, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have
approved such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, approval and
acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable Assignment
and Assumption, (X) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant
to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder, and (Y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement.
Page 76
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning
Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other
and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such
Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of the REIT or Borrower or the performance or
observance by the REIT or Borrower of any of their respective obligations under
any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,
together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Article 4
or delivered pursuant to Article 5 to the date of such assignment and such
other Loan Documents and other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes
Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such
assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender.
(c) Administrative Agent shall maintain, at its address referred to on the counterpart
signature pages hereof, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and
accepted by it and shall record in the Loan Account the names and addresses of each
Lender and the Pro Rata Share of the Loan of, and principal amount of the Loan owing to,
such Lender from time to time. Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Loan Account as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
Page 77
(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender
and an assignee approved by Administrative Agent and Borrower as provided in Section
11.20(a), Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption is in form and
substance approved by Administrative Agent, (i) accept such Assignment and
Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Loan
Account, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Upon request,
Borrower will execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an appropriate
replacement promissory note or replacement promissory notes in favor of each
assignee (and assignor, if such assignor is retaining a portion of its Pro Rata
Share of the Loan) reflecting such assignee's (and assignor's) Pro
Rata Share of the Loan. Upon execution and delivery of such replacement
promissory note(s) the original promissory note or notes evidencing all or a
portion of the Pro Rata Share of the Loan being assigned shall be canceled and
returned to Borrower.
(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in
or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without
the consent of any other party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan owing to it) and the other Loan Documents;
provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of the Loan to Borrower
hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating
banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose,
(iv) Borrower, 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 and with regard to any and all
payments to be made under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest
shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share
of the Loan as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Loan, or
in the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan, so long as the amount
of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (vi) the consent
of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for
amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents and the holder of any
such participation shall not be entitled to voting rights under their
participation agreement except for voting rights with respect to (A) extensions
of the Maturity Date beyond the extension option terms; and (B) decreases in the
interest rates or fees described in this Agreement.
(f) Borrower will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Administrative Agent and
the Lenders in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the
sale of participations herein.
(g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need
to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including
Section 11.20, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and
assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents
to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall
release such Lender from its obligations thereunder.
(h) Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to another branch or Affiliate of such Lender without first obtaining the
approval of Administrative Agent and Borrower, provided that (i) at the time of such
assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Lender gives
Administrative Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days prior written
notice of any such assignment, (iii) the parties to each such assignment execute
and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and (iv)
Administrative Agent receives from assignor a processing fee of Three Thousand
Dollars ($3,000).
Page 78
(i) No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.
(j) The dissemination or disclosure by any Lender to any prospective assignee or
participant of any confidential information obtained by Administrative Agent or the
Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the Loan is subject to the
terms of Section 5.3.
(k) Xxxxx Fargo agrees that, so long as Well Fargo is the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement, it will not assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement if, after giving effect to such assignment or sale, Xxxxx Fargo's
Pro Rata Share of the Loan would be less than that of any other Lender.

SCHEDULE 4.1(j)
LITIGATION DISCLOSURE
Borrower hereby represents as follows:
We are presently subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a nature considered
normal to our ordinary course of business. We expect most of these legal proceedings to be covered by
our liability insurance. The most significant of these contingencies not covered by insurance is
described below.
In December 2001, the owner of the entertainment center at our Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Center
project asserted a claim against us for indemnification arising out of a Los Angeles Superior Court
judgment against them, which invalidated a transfer of in-lieu credits that we made in August of 1999
as part of our sale of the land for the entertainment center. The value of these in-lieu credits was
approximately $6.0 million and were transferred to satisfy certain Transportation Impact Assessment
fees related to the entertainment center. The owner of the entertainment center is currently appealing
the judgment.
Based on our review of the current facts and circumstances and advice of our outside
counsel, we are not able to express an opinion as to the ultimate outcome of this matter. However, we
do not believe that the resolution of this matter or any of our ongoing legal proceedings will have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flow or financial position.
