THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AND SECURITY
AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 3rd day of September, 1996, by
and among COMMERCIAL NET LEASE REALTY, INC., a Maryland corporation ("CNLR"),
NET LEASE REALTY I, INC., a Maryland corporation ("Net I") and NET LEASE
REALTY II, INC., a Maryland corporation ("Net II") (CNLR, Net I and Net II are
hereinafter sometimes individually referred to as a "Borrower" and
collectively referred to as the "Borrowers"), FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK OF
FLORIDA, a national banking association, as the Agent (the "Agent") and the
financial institutions which are, or may from time to time become, listed on
the signature pages hereof (together with their successors and assigns,
individually a "Bank" and collectively the "Banks").
BACKGROUND
----------
CNLR and First Union National Bank of Florida entered into a Revolving
Line of Credit and Security Agreement dated as of June 21, 1994 (the "Prior
Credit Agreement"), which provided for a revolving line of credit in the
amount of $30,000,000.00 in favor of CNLR (the "Prior Credit"), evidenced by a
promissory note in the principal amount of $30,000,000.00 (the "Prior Note"),
Collateral Assignments of Leases, Rents, and Profits and Security Agreements,
Agreements Not to Encumber or Transfer Property, and other related instruments
(the "Prior Security Documents").
Subsequently, CNLR, the Agent and certain Banks entered into a Revolving
Line of Credit and Security Agreement dated as of July 25, 1994 (the "1994
Credit Agreement"), which provided for a revolving line of credit in the
amount of $100,000,000.00 in favor of CNLR pursuant to which First Union
National Bank of Florida assigned the Prior Credit (including but not limited
to the Prior Note and the Prior Security Documents) to the Banks and evidenced
by a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $100,000,000.00 (the "1994
Note"), Collateral Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and Security
Agreements, Agreements Not to Encumber or Transfer Property, and other related
instruments (the "Existing Security Documents"). The 1994 Credit Agreement
superseded and replaced the Prior Credit Agreement and provided for an
increased line of credit.
CNLR, the Agent and the Banks subsequently agreed to amend and restate
the 1994 Credit Agreement to reflect certain changes in the terms of the
Credit pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of
Credit and Security Agreement dated as of April 13, 1995 (the "April, 1995
Agreement") which superseded the 1994 Credit Agreement.
Subsequently, CNLR requested certain additional amendments to the April,
1995 Agreement to permit (i) CNLR to incur mortgage loans from Principal
Mutual Life Insurance Company, or an affiliate thereof, in the total amount of
not more than $52,600,000.00 with respect to certain properties currently
identified in the Existing Security Documents and (ii) to allow it to place
certain properties to be acquired in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Net I and
Net II.
The Agent and the Banks agreed to CNLR's request so long as Net I and
Net II agreed to become co-borrowers under the Credit and pursuant to the
other terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Line of Credit
and Security Agreement dated as of December 7, 1995 (the "Existing Agreement")
which superseded the April, 1995 Agreement and is evidenced by a Renewal and
Modification Promissory Note (the "Renewal Note") in the principal amount of
$100,000,000.00, which renewed and modified the Original Note, and the
Existing Security Documents. The Borrowers subsequently requested certain
waivers from the terms of the existing Agreement for certain transactions to
be entered into by the Borrowers which were approved by the Banks pursuant to
a Letter Agreement dated June 12, 1996 (the "Letter Agreement").
CNLR, Net I and Net II have now requested certain additional amendments
to the Existing Agreement and Renewal Note to (i) increase the amount of the
Credit to $150,000,000.00 and (ii) extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
to June 30, 1998, as well as certain other revisions.
The Agent and the Banks have agreed to Borrowers' request pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Third Amended and Restated Revolving Line of
Credit and Security Agreement which supersedes the Existing Agreement, which
is evidenced by a Second Renewal and Modification Promissory Note in the
principal amount of $150,000,000.00, which renews and modifies the Renewal
Note, and the Existing Security Documents.

SECTION 2. THE CREDIT
2.1 THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.
(a) Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set
forth herein, that prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and so long as
there exists no Event of Default or circumstance which with the giving of
notice or passage of time would become an Event of Default, it will make
advances to the Borrowers (all such advances and the Bank's Pro Rata Portion
of any unreimbursed amounts paid under Letters of Credit referred to herein as
"Revolving Credit Advances" and "Advances") in an aggregate amount which, when
aggregated with Advances comprised of the Bank's Pro Rata Portion of
unreimbursed amounts paid under Letters of Credit and with the Bank's Pro Rata
Portion of Letter of Credit Contingent Obligations, does not exceed at any
time such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. During the aforesaid period, the Borrowers may
borrow, repay, and reborrow, and request the issuance of Letters of Credit in
accordance with the terms hereof. The Borrowers acknowledge that the amount
outstanding at any time pursuant to the Credit is as reflected in the books
and records of the Agent and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error. Agent will, upon request, furnish the Borrowers with a statement of
the amount outstanding pursuant to the Credit as reflected in the books and
records of the Agent at the time of any such request.
(b) If at any time the principal amounts outstanding under any
Bank's Revolving Credit Advances (including Advances in respect of
unreimbursed amounts paid under Letters of Credit), together with the
aggregate amount of the Bank's Pro Rata Portion of the Letter of Credit
Contingent Obligations, exceed such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment, the
Borrowers shall prepay the Bank's Revolving Credit Advances so as to cause the
aggregate outstanding amounts thereunder to be equal to or less than such
Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment.
(c) Subject to the further terms and limitations of this
Agreement, the Borrowers may designate Advances requested under the Revolving
Credit Facility and Advances made pursuant to draws under Letters of Credit
issued under the Revolving Credit Facility to be LIBOR Rate Advances or Prime
Rate Advances, and the Borrowers may Convert Advances of one Type into
Advances of another Type (as provided in Subsection 2.15 hereof), or Continue
Advances of one Type as Advances of the same Type (as provided in Subsection
2.15 hereof). All Advances shall be made, Converted, or Continued by the
Banks simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Portion of the
aggregate Commitments.
(d) On the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding principal
amount under the Existing Agreement shall be automatically converted to an
equivalent principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances hereunder (which
shall be Prime Rate Advances unless otherwise specified by the Borrowers in
accordance with the procedures contained in Subsection 2.15 hereof), allocated
to the then existing Banks pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata
Portions, and shall be deemed to be Revolving Credit Advances and Advances and
included in the Banks' Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes hereof.
2.2 ADVANCE REQUESTS AND FUNDING MECHANICS.
(a) The Revolving Credit Advances (other than Advances made by
honoring a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit) shall be made upon
irrevocable notice from the Borrowers to the Agent (effective upon receipt) no
later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date
of any proposed LIBOR Rate Advances and no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern
Time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Prime Rate
Advances. Each such notice shall be in writing, or shall be by telephone or
telecopier, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying the proposed (i) date
of borrowing, (ii) aggregate amount of borrowing, (iii) Type of Advances, (iv)
in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period for such
Advances, and (v) manner of receipt of the funds, and shall be evidenced by an
executed Notice of Borrowing. Each request for such Advances shall be in the
aggregate minimum amount of $100,000.00 or an integral multiple thereof,
except that with respect to LIBOR Rate Advances, each request shall be in the
aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 and in integral multiples of
$100,000.00.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may not select
any LIBOR Rate Advances if (i) the obligation of any of the Banks to make
LIBOR Rate Advances is suspended pursuant to Subsections 2.15(b)(iii) or
2.16(c) or (d) hereof, or (ii) after giving effect to the Advances, the
aggregate number of different Interest Periods for outstanding LIBOR Rate
Advances from the Banks is greater than ten (10) (for purposes of this clause,
Interest Periods of the same duration, but commencing on different dates,
shall be treated as different Interest Periods).
(c) Neither the Agent nor any Bank shall incur any liability to
the Borrowers in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to herein that the
Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer
or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of the Borrowers or for
otherwise acting in good faith under this Subsection, and, upon funding of
Advances by the Bank in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any
telephonic notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have received Advances
hereunder.
(d) Each notice of a proposed borrowing shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Borrowers. In the case of LIBOR Rate Advances, the Borrowers
shall indemnify each Bank against any loss, costs, or expense incurred by such
Bank as a result of any failure of the Borrowers to fulfill on or before the
date specified for such Advance all conditions for such borrowing set forth in
Section 5 hereof, or as a result of any purported revocation of such Advance
request or any other reason for nonfunding of such Advance, including, without
limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by the Bank to fund the Advance, when such Advance is not made
on such date, as more fully described in Subsection 2.13 hereof.
(e) The Agent shall give each Bank notice of each request for
Advances in writing or by telephone or telecopier promptly after receipt of
such request, provided that if the request was not received prior to
10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), the Agent shall give such notice no later than 9:00
a.m. (Eastern Time) on the following Business Day. Not later than 2:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on the date specified in such notice, each Bank shall make
available to the Agent, at its Lending Office specified on the signature pages
hereof, in immediately available funds, the Bank's Pro Rata Portion of such
borrowing. After the Agent's receipt of such funds, the Agent will make such
funds available to the Borrowers at the Agent's office referred to above no
later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date specified in the notice.
(f) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank
prior to the date of any proposed borrowing that such Bank will not make
available to the Agent such Bank's Pro Rata Portion of the borrowing, the
Agent may assume that the Bank has made such portion available to the Agent on
the date of such borrowing in accordance with the provisions hereof. The
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to),
make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If and to the extent
that the Bank shall not have so made such Pro Rata Portion available to the
Agent, the Bank and the Borrowers severally agree to repay to the Agent
forthwith upon demand, to the extent not collected from the other, such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount
is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Advances comprising the borrowing, and (ii) in
the case of the Bank, the Federal Funds Rate; provided, however, that the
Borrowers shall not be required to so repay such amount if and to the extent
that the Agent, in its capacity as a Bank, has availability therefor under its
Revolving Credit Commitment. In such circumstances, the Agent, in its
capacity as a Bank, may, but shall not be required to, make an Advance under
its Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of such amount. If the delinquent
Bank shall repay to the Agent (in its capacity as Agent or Bank, as
appropriate) such amount (with interest), the amount so repaid shall
constitute the Bank's Advance as part of such borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement. If the Borrowers shall repay to the Agent such corresponding
amount, or if the Agent, in its capacity as a Bank, makes an Advance therefor,
such payment or Advance shall not relieve the delinquent Bank of its
obligations hereunder.
(g) The failure of any Bank to make an Advance to be made by it
as part of any borrowing, when required to do so by the provisions hereof,
shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make its
Advance on the date of such borrowing, but no Bank shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other
Bank. Nothing herein shall prejudice any rights or remedies that the
Borrowers may have against any Bank as a result of any failure by such Bank to
make an Advance hereunder if such failure is in breach of its obligations
hereunder.
2.3 LETTERS OF CREDIT.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including but
not limited to the limitations set forth in Subsection 2.1(a) and 2.4 hereof,
the Revolving Credit Commitments may be utilized, upon the request of the
Borrowers, for the issuance of standby letters of credit by the Issuing Bank
("Letters of Credit"). Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be in
such form, contain such terms, and support such transactions as shall be
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion. No Letter of Credit
shall have a term extending beyond the earlier of (i) one year after the date
of issuance or (ii) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be requested by the Borrowers
by irrevocable notice (effective upon receipt) from the Borrowers to the
Issuing Bank and the Agent (which shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Banks) no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) three (3) Business Days prior
to the date of the proposed issuance of the Letter of Credit. Each such
notice from the Borrowers shall be in writing, or shall be by telephone or
telecopier, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying the proposed (i) date
of issuance of the Letter of Credit, (ii) maximum amount of such Letter of
Credit, (iii) expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (iv) name and address
of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, (v) form of such Letter of
Credit, and (vi) description of transaction supported by the Letter of Credit,
and shall be evidenced by an executed Notice of Borrowing. The request shall
be accompanied by such other applications, agreements, information, and
documents as the Agent or the Issuing Bank shall require, and the payment of
the fees and commissions described in Subsection 2.8 hereof.
(c) If the form of the Letter of Credit and transaction
supported by the Letter of Credit is satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its
sole discretion, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Issuing Bank will make such Letter of Credit available to the
Borrower designated in the Notice of Borrowing at the Issuing Bank's Lending
Office described in the signature pages hereof or as otherwise agreed with the
Borrowers in connection with such issuance.
(d) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing
Bank, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed, irrevocably and without further action
by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed,
irrevocably and without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased
from the Issuing Bank, an undivided interest and participation in, to the
extent of such Bank's Pro Rata Portion, the Letter of Credit and the related
Letter of Credit Contingent Obligation. The Issuing Bank shall notify the
Agent of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, and the Agent shall promptly
notify each Bank of such Bank's Pro Rata Portion of the amount of the Letter
of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Contingent Obligation. Each Bank's
Pro Rata Portion of the Letter of Credit Contingent Obligation shall be deemed
to utilize the Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment and reduce the availability
thereunder, until such time as the Letter of Credit Contingent Obligation
terminates by virtue of expiration of or payment under the Letter of Credit.
(e) The payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under a
Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes hereunder the making by the
Issuing Bank of a Revolving Credit Advance (which shall be a Prime Rate
Advance unless otherwise specified by the Borrowers in accordance with the
procedures contained in Subsection 2.15 hereof), in the amount of such payment
(but without any requirement for compliance with the requirements for the
making of a Revolving Credit Advance contained in Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 and
Section 5 hereof).
(f) The Issuing Bank shall give the Agent prompt notice of any
presentation of a draw under a Letter of Credit in writing or by telephone or
telecopier, and the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. Each
Bank shall, on the date of receipt of such notice, either (i) make a Revolving
Credit Advance (which shall be a Prime Rate Advance unless otherwise specified
by the Borrowers in accordance with the procedures contained in Subsection
2.15 hereof) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Portion of the payment under
the Letter of Credit, subject to the requirements for the making of a
Revolving Credit Advance contained in Subsection 2.1 and 2.2 and Section 5
hereof), and shall simultaneously make available to the Issuing Bank at its
Lending Office specified in the signature pages hereof, in immediately
available funds, the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Advance, or (ii) if for
any reason Borrowers is not entitled on such day to receive a Revolving Credit
Advance each Bank shall pay to the Issuing Bank such Bank's Pro Rata Portion
of such draw, whereupon such Bank shall acquire a participation, to the extent
of such Pro Rata Portion, in the claim of the Issuing Bank against Borrowers
in respect of such draw.
(g) If and to the extent that any Bank shall not have so made
the proceeds of such a Revolving Credit Advance available to the Issuing Bank,
the Bank and the Borrowers severally agree to repay to the Issuing Bank
forthwith upon demand, to the extent not collected from the other, such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date of receipt of notice of the draw until the date the Bank's Pro Rata
Portion thereof is paid to the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the
Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances, and (ii)
in the case of the Bank, the Federal Funds Rate, provided, however, that the
Borrowers shall not be required to so repay such amount if and to the extent
that the Agent, in its capacity as a Bank, has availability therefor under its
Revolving Credit Commitment. In such circumstances, the Agent, in its
capacity as a Bank, may, but shall not be required to, make an Advance under
its Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of such amount. If the Borrowers
shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, or if the Agent, in its
capacity as a Bank, makes an Advance therefor, such payment or Advance shall
not relieve the delinquent Bank of its obligations hereunder.
2.4 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Revolving Credit Facility and the proceeds
thereof shall be used by the Borrowers to finance the purchase of primarily
commercial restaurant and retail properties, either existing or to be built,
which construction must be completed within twelve (12) months after
acquisition of the fee simple estate, and which in any event, are subject to
long term lease agreements and, in an aggregate amount not to exceed Fifteen
Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) at any time, for general corporate purposes,
working capital and the issuance and funding of standby Letters of Credit;
provided, however, that Borrowers may also acquire income producing
unsubordinated ground leases which are intended to support income producing
commercial restaurant and retail properties upon completion and said
completion occurs within a reasonable period of time after acquisition of such
ground lease so long as the total number of such ground leases does not exceed
five percent (5%) of the total number of properties in the Borrowers'
portfolio at any time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, upon the receipt by CNLR of an Investment Grade Rating, the entire
Revolving Credit Facility and the proceeds thereof may be used by the
Borrowers for general corporate purposes; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount available for the issuance and funding of standby Letters of
Credit shall be limited to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00). From
time to time and upon the Agent's request, the Borrowers shall furnish to the
Agent evidence satisfactory to the Agent that such proceeds are being used
according to the terms of this Subsection.
2.5 NOTE. The aggregate indebtedness of the Borrowers to each of the
Banks resulting from the Revolving Credit Advances shall be evidenced by a
single promissory note of the Borrowers payable to the Agent for the benefit
of the Banks, in a principal amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars
($150,000,000.00) in substantially the form of Exhibit "A" hereto (as may be
amended, renewed, increased, restated, replaced, or otherwise modified from
time to time, the "Note"). The Note constitutes a renewal and modification of
the Renewal Note.
2.6 INTEREST.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal
amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(i) during such periods as an Advance is a Prime Rate
Advance, a rate equivalent to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time,
which rate shall be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the Prime Rate, with
each adjustment to be effective on the day the change occurs;
(ii) during such periods as an Advance is a LIBOR Rate
Advance, a rate equivalent to the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest
Period for such Advance plus one and 60/100 percent (1.60%) per annum;
provided, however, that the rate for LIBOR Rate Advances shall be subject to
adjustment as follows promptly after receipt by Agent and First Union National
Bank of North Carolina of a notice from CNLR stating that an Investment Grade
Rating has been received by CNLR. The highest rating received from any two of
the four rating agencies identified in the definition of Investment Grade
Rating shall determine the adjustment. In the event no two equivalent ratings
are received by CNLR, the lowest of the ratings received shall determine the
adjustment.
Rating Received Rate
--------------- ----
BBB- Reserved Adjusted LIBOR Rate + 1.50%
BBB Reserved Adjusted LIBOR Rate + 1.35%
BBB+ Reserved Adjusted LIBOR Rate + 1.20%
A- Reserved Adjusted LIBOR Rate + 1.00%

annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to
paragraphs (i) or (ii) above (the "Default Rate").
(b) The Borrowers shall pay interest, on demand, on all other
amounts in respect of any other obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan
Documents not paid when due at a rate per annum equal to five (5%) per annum

of each year, and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(ii) In respect of any LIBOR Loan, interest shall be
payable at the relevant Elected Rate, in arrears, on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, provided that interest on LIBOR Loans shall
additionally be payable on the last day of each three month period of any
Interest Period that exceeds three months in duration.
(iii) In addition to the interest due and payable under (i)
and (ii) above, and as provided elsewhere in the Agreement, all accrued

account of the Banks.
(c) If any payment of principal or interest or both is more than
ten (10) days late, the Borrowers will pay to the Agent, for the account of
the Banks, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment (the "Late

time for any payment or to constitute a "grace period" giving the Borrowers a
right to cure such default.
2.8 FEES.
(a) As consideration for making the Revolving Credit Facility
available, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the pro rata account of
the Banks based on the amounts of the then existing Revolving Credit
Commitments, a fee from the date hereof to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
(as may be extended hereunder) equal to twenty (20) basis points per annum of
the unused portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. Such fee
shall be computed on the basis of the average daily unused portion of the
Banks' then existing Revolving Credit Commitments and shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on each quarterly interest payment date described in
Subsection 2.7 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional fees
shall be payable pursuant to this Subsection in the event (i) the Banks cease
to offer LIBOR Rate Advances pursuant to Subsection 2.16 hereof and (ii) all
borrowings hereunder have been repaid in full by the Borrowers.
(b) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Bank and the other Banks, a letter of credit fee in an amount equal to

arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with
the first such day to occur after the Closing Date and (ii) on the later of
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the date of termination of the last
outstanding Letter of Credit. One-eighth (1/8) of such feel shall be retained
by the Issuing Bank as issuing bank and the remaining seven-eighths (7/8) of
such fee shall be shared by the Banks (including the Issuing Bank) based on
the Pro Rata Portion of each. In addition to the foregoing fee, the Borrowers
shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs
and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing,
effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.
(c) The Borrowers shall also pay to the Agent such agency and
other fees as the Agent and the Borrowers shall separately agree.
2.9 EXTENSION OF REVOLVING CREDIT MATURITY DATE. Upon the written
request of the Borrowers, which request shall be received by the Agent at
least sixty (60) days prior to the then existing Revolving Credit Maturity
Date, and subject to payment of an extension fee by Borrowers, the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date shall be extended for up to two additional twelve (12)
month periods beyond the then existing Revolving Credit Maturity Date,
provided that the Borrowers have fully complied with all of the financial
covenants pursuant to Subsection 6.2 of this Agreement and materially complied
with all other covenants, terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement
for the six (6) quarters preceding the then existing Revolving Credit Maturity
Date. In such event, the Borrowers may be required by the Agent, in its
discretion, to execute and deliver to the Banks, not later than the earlier
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, new Notes, with appropriate inserts therein as
to date, date of payments, and any appropriate recitals.

by the Agent and the Banks to the Collateral will not be required at any time.
2.11 PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.
(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment due under the Note or
otherwise due hereunder not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day
when due to the Agent in immediately available funds. Any such payment
received later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) shall be deemed received by the
Agent on the following Business Day. In the event any such payment is
received by the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), the Agent will
thereafter on the date such payment is received cause to be distributed like
funds ratably to the Banks, in each case to be applied in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. If any such payment is received by the Agent after
12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), the Agent will thereafter on the following Business
Day cause to be distributed like funds ratably to the Banks, in each case to
be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event the
Agent does not so distribute such funds to the Banks, it shall pay interest
thereon, for each day from the Business Day following the date such amount is
payable to the Banks to the date the Agent repays such amount to the Banks, at
the Federal Funds Rate.
(b) If the Agent receives funds for application to the Advances
under circumstances for which the Loan Documents or the Borrowers (to the
extent permitted by the Loan Documents) do not specify the Advances to which,
or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Agent shall
distribute such funds for application to the Advances to each Bank ratably in
accordance with such Bank's Pro Rata Portion of all outstanding Advances, in
repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances of such Bank, and
for application to such principal installments or interest.
(c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Banks hereunder
that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume
that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Agent on such date.
The Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to
each Bank on the Business Day following the date when due an amount equal to
the amount then due to such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall
not have made such payment in full to the Agent, each such Bank shall repay to
the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed
to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate.
(d) Each payment and prepayment by the Borrowers of principal or
interest shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public
and private debt. If any installment of principal or interest becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as otherwise provided
with respect to LIBOR Advances in the definition of "Interest Period"), and,
in the case of principal, interest shall be payable during the extension at
the annual rate specified in the note for the payment of interest before
maturity.
(e) Unless otherwise specified herein, or unless otherwise
determined by the Required Banks in their sole discretion, all payments (other
than prepayments) of a particular Advance shall be applied pro rata among the
Banks first to interest and lawful charges then accrued and then to principal.
The Borrowers shall, at the time of making payments of Advances, specify to
the Agent (which shall so notify the Banks) of the Advances to be paid.
(f) Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent and each Bank, if
and to the extent that any payments owed hereunder are not made when due, to
charge such payments from time to time against any or all of such Borrower's
accounts with the Agent or the Bank, in which event the Agent or the Bank will
give prompt notice to such Borrower of such charge; provided, however, that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such charge.
Any such Bank will give notice to the Agent thereof.
(g) Interest and any fees hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days for LIBOR Rate calculations and fees and 365 days
for Prime Rate calculations, but charged for the actual number of days
elapsed. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
in no event shall any interest rate provided for herein exceed the maximum
rate of interest allowed by applicable law, as amended from time to time.
Neither the Banks nor the Agent intend to charge any amount of interest or
other fees or charges in the nature of interest that exceeds the maximum
amount allowed by applicable law. If any payment of interest or in the nature
of interest would cause the foregoing interest rate limitation to be exceeded,
then such excess payment shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless
the Borrowers notify the Agent in writing that the excess payment must be
returned to the Borrowers, together with interest at the rate specified in
Section 687.04(2), Florida Statutes, or any successor statute.
2.12 PREPAYMENTS UNDER REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.
(a) The Borrowers shall be entitled to prepay Prime Rate
Advances in whole or in part, at any time, without premium or penalty, upon
notice to the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at least one
Business Day prior to the proposed date of the prepayment, each notice stating
the proposed date, Advances to be prepaid, and aggregate principal amount of
the prepayment in the form of the Notice of Prepayment attached hereto as
Exhibit "L".
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 2.13 hereof,
the Borrowers shall be entitled to pay LIBOR Rate Advances only on the last
days of the applicable Interest Periods, without premium or penalty, upon
notice to the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the proposed date of the prepayment, each notice
stating the proposed date, Advances to be paid, and aggregate principal amount
of the payment in the form of the Notice of Prepayment attached hereto as
Exhibit "L".
(c) Any prepayment of Prime Rate Advances shall be in the
aggregate principal amount of $100,000.00 or an integral multiple thereof, and
any payment of LIBOR Rate Advances shall be in the full amount of the LIBOR
Rate Advances so paid.
(d) On or prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, any
prepayment of Revolving Credit Advances (whether optional or required, but not
including any payment after default or acceleration) shall be applied first to
principal and then to interest and lawful charges, unless otherwise specified
by the Borrowers. In the event of a prepayment after default or acceleration,
any prepayment of Revolving Credit Advances shall be applied first to interest
accrued on the principal amount prepaid (to be allocated among the Advances
according to amount of interest accrued) and other lawful charges, and then to
principal. The Borrowers shall, at the time of making prepayments of
Advances, specify to the Agent (which shall so notify the Banks) of the
Advances to be prepaid.
2.13 LIBOR RATE COMPENSATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Subsection 2.12(b) hereof, which prohibit prepayment of LIBOR Rate Advances
prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the event that all or
any portion of any LIBOR Rate Advances are repaid, prepaid, or Converted prior
to the end of the applicable Interest Period, regardless of whether such
payment or Conversion is optional or obligatory, or in the event that any
LIBOR Rate Advances are not borrowed or Converted as specified in a notice
given pursuant to Subsection 2.2 or 2.15 hereof for any reason, including the
failure of any conditions precedent, the Borrowers shall be required to pay to
the Agent, for the account of the Banks, compensation as follows. The
Borrowers shall be required to pay an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the portion
of the LIBOR Rate Advances repaid, prepaid, Converted, or not borrowed or
Converted from and after the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion,
failure to borrow, or failure to Convert, to the last day of the applicable
Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or Convert, to the
last day of the Interest Period which would have commenced) at the applicable
rate of interest for such Advances specified herein, minus (ii) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on such LIBOR Rate Advances or portion
thereof from and after the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion,
failure to borrow, or failure to Convert, to the last day of the applicable
Interest Period at the applicable rate of interest for such Advances specified
herein, but calculated with respect to a LIBOR Rate based on an amount
substantially equal to the amount paid, prepaid, Converted, or not borrowed or
Converted, and an Interest Period substantially equal to the number of days
remaining in the applicable Interest Period. Whether or not the foregoing
calculation results in a charge to be paid by the Borrowers, the Borrowers
shall also pay all actual out-of-pocket expenses other than those taken into
account in the foregoing calculation incurred by the Banks and the Agent
(excluding any internal expenses) and reasonably attributable to such payment,
prepayment, Conversion, or failure to borrow or Convert. The Borrowers
acknowledge that the Banks are relying in the LIBOR Rate Advances remaining
outstanding or being borrowed or Converted for the entire Interest Periods
selected, and that the foregoing compensation represents reasonable liquidated
damages and is not a penalty. The foregoing compensation shall apply with
respect to all payments, prepayments, and Conversions of LIBOR Rate Advance
and all failures to borrow and failures to Convert into LIBOR Rate Advances,
whether optional or obligatory (including any required principal installments
and any required Conversions pursuant to the provisions of Subsections 2.15
and 2.16 hereof), and shall include any prepayment, repayment, or Conversion
after default or acceleration of the Note.
2.14 SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC.
(a) If any Bank shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any
principal of or interest on any Advance owing to it or payment of any other
amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of
any right of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim, similar right, or otherwise
(other than from the Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such
payment, such Bank shall have received a greater percentage of the principal
of or interest on the Advances or other amounts then due hereunder by
Borrowers to such Bank than the percentage received by any other Banks, it
shall promptly purchase from such other Banks participations in (or, if, and
to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Advances or
such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Banks (or in interest
due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other
adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the
Banks shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses
which may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess
payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and interest on
the Advances or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Banks.
To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves
(by the resale of participations sole or otherwise) if such payment is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(b) Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise
any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain
the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other
indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower. If, under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law, any Bank receives a secured
claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Subsection applies, such Bank shall,
to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured
claim in a matter consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under this
Subsection to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
2.15 CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION OF ADVANCES; FAILURE TO SELECT
INTEREST PERIOD.
(a) The Borrowers may, upon notice given to the Agent in the
form of the Notice of Conversion/Continuation attached hereto as Exhibit "M"
(effective upon receipt) no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the date of a proposed Conversion into or
Continuation of LIBOR Rate Advances and not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern
Time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Conversion
into Prime Rate Advances, and subject to the provisions hereof, Convert
Advances of one Type into Advances of the other Type or Continue Advances of
one Type as Advances of the same Type at any time and from time to time on any
Business Day; provided, however, that (i) any Conversion or Continuation of
LIBOR Rate Advances shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the
Interest Period for the LIBOR Rate Advances being Converted or Continued, (ii)
any Conversion or Continuation of any Advances into LIBOR Rate Advances shall
be in amounts not less than the minimum aggregate amounts specified in Section
2.2(a), and (iii) no Conversion or Continuation of Advances shall result in a
greater number of different Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Advances than is
permitted under Section 2.2(b). Each such notice of Conversion or
Continuation shall be in writing or shall be by telephone or telecopier,
confirmed immediately in writing, specifying, within the restrictions
specified above, the date of such Conversion or Continuation, the Advances to
be Converted or Continued, the portion thereof to be Converted or Continued,
and the Type of Advances into which they will be Converted or Continued, and
if such Conversion or Continuation is into LIBOR Rate Advances, the duration
of the Interest Periods for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion or
Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.
(b) (i) Whenever the unpaid principal amount of LIBOR Rate
Advances comprising a borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or
otherwise, to less than $1,000,000.00, such Advances shall automatically
Convert into Prime Rate Advances on the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect to such Advances.
(ii) If the Borrowers shall fail to give a notice of
Conversion or Continuation in respect of LIBOR Rate Advances prior to the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto as provided in paragraph (a) hereof,
or to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate, such
LIBOR Rate Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, convert into Prime Rate Advances.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, (i) all LIBOR Rate Advances will automatically, on the last
days of the then existing Interest Periods therefor, Convert into Prime Rate
Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Banks to make, Continue, or Convert
Advances into LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended.
(iv) LIBOR Rate Advances may be subject to automatic
Conversion into Advances of other Types, as provided in Section 2.16(c) and
(d).
2.16 INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.
(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law
or regulation or in the interpretation or administration of any law or
regulation by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged
with the interpretation of administration thereof from the date hereof or (ii)
the compliance with any guideline or request from any such governmental
authority, including, without limitation, any central bank (whether or not
having the force of law), (x) subjects any Bank or any corporation controlling
any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or
any Advance, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank or
corporation of principal, commissions, fees, interest, or any other amount
payable hereunder (except for (A) taxes on or measured by the overall net
income of such Bank or branch, office, or agency through which such Bank is
acting for purposes of this Agreement or (B) changes in the rate of such
taxes); (y) imposes, modifies, or holds applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan, 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 or commitment therefor extended by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Bank which are not otherwise included in any
determination of the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate or other interest payable
hereunder; or (z) imposes on any Bank or the corporation controlling the Bank
any other condition, and as a result there shall be any increase in the cost
to the Bank or the corporation of agreeing to make or making, funding, or
maintaining Advances by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then the
Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by the Bank, pay directly to
the Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for such
increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost,
submitted to the Borrowers by the Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If any Bank determines that compliance with any law or
regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) concerning
capital adequacy or otherwise has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the capital of the Bank or the corporation controlling the
Bank, as a consequence of, or with reference to, the facilities hereunder, or
its making or funding or maintaining Advances below the rate which the Bank or
such other corporation could have achieved but for such compliance (taking
into account the policies of the Bank of such corporation with regard to
capital) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, the Borrowers shall
from time to time, upon demand by the Bank, pay to the Bank additional amounts
sufficient to compensate the Bank or such other corporation for such
reduction. A certificate as to such amounts, submitted to the Borrowers by
the Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
(c) If, with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances, the Required
Banks notify the Agent that the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest
Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to the Banks of
making, funding, or maintaining the LIBOR Rate Advances for such Interest
Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers whereupon (i) each
such LIBOR Rate Advance, will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Prime Rate Advance, and (ii)
the obligation of the Banks to make, Continue, or Convert Advances into LIBOR
Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent notifies Borrowers that the
Required Banks have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension
no longer exist.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation shall make it unlawful or any central bank or other governmental
authority shall assert that it is unlawful for any Bank to perform its
obligations hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Advances or to continue to fund or
maintain LIBOR Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand
therefor by the Bank through the Agent, (i) each LIBOR Rate Advance of the
Banks will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Prime Rate Advance
and (ii) the obligation of the Banks to make, Continue, or Convert Advances
into LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the
Borrowers that the Bank has determined that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist.
2.17 LETTERS OF CREDIT OBLIGATIONS.
(a) The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the
following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letters
of Credit;
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
from all or any of the Letters of Credit;
(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right which the Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any
transferee, of the Letters of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any of
the other Banks, or any other person or entity, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or in the Letters of
Credit, or any unrelated transaction;
(iv) any statement or any other document presented under
the Letters of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect;
(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under the Letters of
Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply
(other than on its face) with the terms of the Letters of Credit; or
(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) In addition to (but without duplication of) the amounts
payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, or any obligation arising out
of Letters of Credit, the Borrowers hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay,
and save the Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each other Bank harmless from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs,
charges, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which such party
may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the
issuance of the Letters of Credit, or (ii) the failure by the Issuing Bank to
honor, or to make payment on, a drawing under the Letters of Credit as a
result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or
future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions
herein called "Governmental Acts").
(c) As among the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank, the other Banks,
and the Agent, the Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or
misuse of the Letters of Credit. In furtherance, and not in limitation of the
foregoing, none of the Agent or the Banks shall be responsible: (A) for the
form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness, or legal effect of any
document submitted by any party as beneficiary or transferee or otherwise in
connection with a drawing under the Letters of Credit, even if it should in
fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
fraudulent, or forged; (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign the Letters of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or
in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) for
failure of the beneficiary or transferee to comply fully with conditions
required in order to draw upon the Letters of Credit, other than conditions
expressly stated in the Letters of Credit; (D) for errors, omissions,
interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, telegraph, telex, or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E)
for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) for any loss or delay in
the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a
drawing under the Letters of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) for the
misapplication by the beneficiary of the Letters of Credit; and (H) for any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the Issuing
Bank, or the other Banks including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts.
None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the
Agent's, Issuing Bank's, or any other Bank's rights or powers hereunder.
(d) In furtherance and extension, and not in limitation of the
specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the
Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any other Bank under or in connection with the
Letters of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good
faith, shall not result in any liability of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, or
any other Bank to the Borrowers. The Issuing Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or any information to the contrary.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Subsection, the Borrowers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Issuing
Bank, any other Bank, or the Agent in respect of any liability incurred by the
Borrowers arising solely out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any other Bank, as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of
the Borrowers under this Agreement, the indemnities and obligations of the
Borrowers under this Subsection shall survive the payment in full of all other
amounts payable under this Agreement and the termination of the Letters of
Credit.
SECTION 3. SECURITY DOCUMENTS.
Payment of the Credit shall be secured as provided in this Section 3.
3.1 SECURITY AGREEMENT. To secure payment of the Credit, including
but not limited to contingent obligations under Letters of Credit, and all
other obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, the Borrowers
hereby grant the Agent and the Banks and this Agreement shall be deemed to
create, grant, give, and convey to the Agent and the Banks a first priority
lien and encumbrance upon, and a first priority security interest in, the
Collateral. This Agreement shall also serve as a "Security Agreement" within
the meaning of that term as used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and
in force from time to time in the State of Florida, and shall be operative and
effective as a Security Agreement in addition to, and not in substitution for,
any other Security Agreement executed by the Borrowers in connection with the
extension of credit or loan transaction secured hereby. The Borrowers agree
to and shall, upon the request of the Agent, execute and deliver to the Agent,
in form satisfactory to the Agent, such "Financing Statements," descriptions
of property and such further assurances as the Agent, in its sole discretion,
may from time to time consider necessary to create, perfect, continue, and
preserve the lien and encumbrances hereof and the security interest granted
herein upon and in such Collateral. The Agent, at the expense of the
Borrowers, may or shall cause such statements, descriptions, and assurances to
be recorded and re-recorded, filed and re-filed, at such times and in such
places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect, and
preserve the lien and encumbrances hereof upon all of said Collateral. In
addition to any other rights and remedies contained in the Loan Documents, the
Agent and the Banks shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and in force from time to time in
the State of Florida or other applicable law, all of which rights shall be
cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by law.
3.2 OWNERSHIP AND ENCUMBRANCE OF PROPERTY. Subject to any mortgages
permitted pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, each Borrower hereby agrees and
represents to the Agent and the Banks that the properties now owned by such
Borrower are not subject to any mortgage, lien, charge, encumbrance, or
security interest. Subject to Section 7.1 hereof, no Borrower shall, without
the prior written consent of Required Banks, permit or suffer to exist any
mortgage, lien, charge, encumbrance, or security interest in or upon any
properties now owned by such Borrower.
3.3 ADDITIONAL SECURITY DOCUMENTS.
(a) The Borrowers further agree to prepare, execute, and deliver

(together with any additional documents required pursuant to Subsection 3.3(b)
hereof, the "Security Documents") which shall be properly completed with all
pertinent information and otherwise satisfactory to the Agent.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrowers have
not received an Investment Grade Rating (or written confirmation that the only
condition to receipt of an Investment Grade Rating is the release of Existing
Security Documents) on or before June 30, 1997, Agent, after consultation with
the Banks, may require certain documents as follows at Borrowers' expense,
each of which shall be properly completed with all pertinent information and
otherwise satisfactory to Agent. If Agent determines that such documents are
not required, one or more Banks may require such documents from Borrowers at
the expense of such requiring Banks on a pro rata basis up to $100,000.00.
Any expenses in excess of $100,000.00 shall be paid by Borrowers.
(i) a Notice of Borrowing in the form attached as Exhibit
"C" to this Agreement at the time of each request for an Advance under the
Credit;

owned by any Borrower, except for properties then subject to a Mortgage and
except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, which includes a correct
legal description of such property in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "D"
and subsequently at the time any real property is thereafter acquired by any
Borrower or an Agreement Not to Encumber which includes a correct legal
description of such property in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "H" for
each property pursuant to which any Borrower then holds or thereafter acquires
a leasehold interest permitted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof;
(iii) a Collateral Assignment of Leases, Rents, and Profits
and Security Agreement, of, from or pertaining to each property then owned by

hereof in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "I" and such Borrower shall use
its best efforts to obtain an acknowledgement of lessee thereon or on a form
satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion;

or thereafter acquired by any Borrower except for properties then subject to a
Mortgage in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit "J", which form
must be acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion;
(v) UCC Financing Statements, for filing with the
Secretary of State and the local recording office of the State and County
where the property of any Borrower, except for properties then subject to a
Mortgage, is located, in the form required by such State and County,
reflecting the Banks' security interest in the Collateral and subsequently at
the time any real property is thereafter acquired by any Borrower; provided,

Subsection 3.3(b) and forward such completed Financing Statements to any
Borrower for execution;

any such property, and each Borrower hereby agrees that any proceeds from such
insurance coverage will be applied by such Borrower to (i) repair or rebuild
the property for which such proceeds are being received, (ii) replace such
property with a substantially equivalent property with a substantially
equivalent stream of rent payments of similar credit quality, or (iii) repay
any borrowings hereunder;
(ix) copies of lease agreements applicable to each property
then owned by any Borrower, except for properties then subject to a Mortgage,

then subject to a Mortgage, or any property thereafter acquired by any
Borrower, prepared by an appraiser approved by the Agent and otherwise in form
and substance satisfactory to the Agent.
3.4 RELEASE OF PROPERTY.
(a) Upon the request of the Borrowers, the Agent on behalf of
the Banks will, so long as there exists no Event of Default or circumstance
which with the giving of notice or passage of time would become an Event of
Default, execute releases of affected property from the lien and encumbrance
of the Security Documents, provided that (a) each property to be released is
being sold in the ordinary course of business to bona fide unrelated third
parties, (b) either (i) each such property is being replaced with
substantially equivalent property with a substantially equivalent stream of
rent payments of similar credit quality, or (ii) the sale of such property is
for cash and the proceeds of the sale, net only of reasonable seller's closing
costs, are applied by the Borrowers as a prepayment of the Revolving Credit
Facility, (c) the property to be released consists of the entire parcel or
parcels of property acquired and is not a mere portion thereof, and (d) the
Borrowers shall submit to the Agent properly prepared release documents in a
form satisfactory to Agent, and with respect to any new parcel described in
clause (b)(i) hereof, properly prepared Security Documents for such parcel,
the warranty deed and closing statement for such property or properties, and
such other information as the Agent shall reasonably request. The Banks hereby
authorize the Agent to execute such releases and accept the substitution of
such Security Documents under the foregoing conditions without the necessity

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
To induce the Agent and the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to
establish the Credit provided for herein, each Borrower represents and
warrants to the Agent and Banks (which representations and warranties shall
survive the delivery of the documents mentioned herein and the establishment
of the Credit contemplated hereby) as follows:
4.1 CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF BORROWER; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The
Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated and organized, validly existing,
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Borrower
has the corporate power to own its properties and assets, and to carry on its
business as now being conducted. The Borrower is in compliance with all other
requirements of law applicable to it and to its business.
4.2 AUTHORIZATION. The Borrower has the corporate power and
authority, and the legal right to execute, deliver, and perform the Loan
Documents, and to borrow thereunder, and has taken all action necessary to
authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents, and
to authorize the borrowings contemplated thereby. The execution, delivery,
and performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower is made by individuals
of legal capacity; will not conflict with, result in the breach of, or
constitute a violation of or default under, any applicable law, rule,
regulation, writ, or decree or the charter or bylaws of the Borrower, or any
agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party; or result in the
creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any property or assets of
the Borrower pursuant to any indenture or other agreement or instrument to
which the Borrower is a party, or by which the Borrower or its Collateral may
be bound or affected. No consent, license, or authorization of, or filing
with, any Person or entity (including, without limitation, any Governmental
Authority), is required in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity, or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the
borrowings as contemplated thereunder, except for consents, licenses,
approvals, and filings referred to or disclosed in the Loan Documents.
4.3 ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS. The Loan Documents when executed and
delivered to the Agent will constitute legal, valid, and binding agreements
enforceable against the respective parties thereto and any property described
therein in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforceability of
creditor's rights; and (ii) as enforceability may be limited or qualified by
general principles of equity, whether raised in a proceeding at law or in
equity.
4.4 FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE BORROWERS.
(a) The consolidated financial statements of the Borrowers as of
June 30, 1996, a copy of which has been furnished to the Agent, are materially
correct, complete, and fairly present the financial condition of the Borrowers
as at the date of the financial statements and fairly present the results of
the operations of the Borrowers for the period covered thereby.
(b) The Borrowers have no material direct or contingent
liabilities, liabilities for taxes, long-term leases, or unusual forward or
long-term commitments as of the date of the Agreement which are not disclosed
by, provided for, or reserved against in the financial statements or referred
to in notes thereto, and at such date there are no material unrealized or
anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments of the Borrowers. The
financial statements furnished to the Agent have been prepared in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applied on a Consistent Basis
maintained throughout the period involved. There has been no material adverse
change in the business, properties or condition, financial or otherwise, of
the Borrowers since the date of such financial statements.
4.5 NO LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q
filed by the Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there is no
suit or proceeding at law or in equity (including proceedings, by or before
any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative commission, board or
bureau, or other administrative agency) pending, or to the knowledge of the
Borrower threatened, by or against or involving the Borrower or against any of
its properties, existence, or revenues which, if adversely determined, would
have a material adverse effect on the property, assets, or business or on the
condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrowers or which would be required
to be disclosed in notes to any balance sheet as of the date hereof of the
Borrowers prepared in reasonable detail in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles applied on a Consistent Basis.
4.6 DISCLOSURE AND NO UNTRUE STATEMENTS. No representation or
warranty made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents or which will be made by
the Borrower from time to time in connection with the Loan Documents (a)
contains or will contain any misrepresentation or untrue statement of fact; or
(b) omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, unless otherwise disclosed in writing to
the Agent. There is no fact known to the Borrower or any of its executive
financial officers which adversely affects, or which might in the future
adversely affect, the business, assets, properties, or condition, financial or
otherwise, of the Borrower.
4.7 TITLE TO ASSETS; LEASES IN GOOD STANDING. The Borrower has good
and marketable title to its properties and assets, including the properties
and assets reflected in the financial statements and notes thereto described
in Section 4.4 hereof, except for such assets as have been disposed of in the
ordinary course of business, and all such properties and assets are free and
clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests, charges, title
retention agreements, or other encumbrances of any kind, except as otherwise
permitted pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower enjoys peaceful and
undisturbed possession under all leases under which it is now operating, none
of which contain any unusual provisions which may adversely affect its
operations, and all said leases are valid, subsisting, and in full force and
effect, and the Borrower is not in violation of any material term of any such
lease.
4.8 PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed
all federal, state, and local tax returns which are required to be filed by it
and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes as shown on said returns or on any
assessment received by it, to the extent that such taxes have become due,
except as otherwise permitted by the provisions hereof, and no controversy in
respect of additional income taxes of the Borrower is pending, or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. The Borrower has set up reserves which
are believed by its officers to be adequate for the payment of all taxes for
which a notice of assessment has been received and for the payment of such
taxes for the years that have not been audited by the respective tax
authorities.
4.9 AGREEMENT OR CONTRACT RESTRICTIONS. The Borrower is not a party
to, nor is it bound by, any agreement, contract, or instrument or subject to
any charter or other corporate or partnership restriction which materially
adversely affects the business, properties, assets, operations, or condition,
financial or otherwise, of the Borrower except as disclosed in the financial
statements and notes thereto described in Subsection 4.4 hereof. The Borrower
is not in default in the performance, observance, or fulfillment of any
obligations, covenants, or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument
to which it is a party, which would have a material adverse affect on Borrower
performing hereunder.
4.10 PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, ETC. The Borrower owns, possesses, or has
the right to use all necessary patents, patent rights, licenses, trademarks,
trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, and copyrights to conduct
its business as now conducted, without known conflict with any patent, patent
right, license, trademark, trademark right, trade name, trade name right, or
copyright of any other Person or entity.
4.11 RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATION(S) ACT. The
Borrower has never been nor is it now engaged, nor will the Borrower engage,
directly or indirectly, in any pattern of "racketeering activity" or in any
"collection of any unlawful debt," as each of the quoted terms or phrases is
defined or used by the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization(s) Act of
either the United States or the Xxxxx xx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Code, Section 1961 et seq.; Chapter 895, Florida Statues, respectively, as
each act now exists or is hereafter amended (the "RICO Lien Acts"). No real
property of the Borrower, no interest or interests of any kind, including
beneficial interest or interests, mortgages, and leases, in or on real
property of the Borrower, and no personal property, including money, of the
Borrower, has ever been, is now, or is in any way reasonably anticipated by
the Borrower to become, subject to any lien, notice, civil investigative
demand, action, suit, or any proceeding pursuant to the RICO Lien Acts.
4.12 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT; REGULATION.
(a) The Borrower is not an "investment company," an "affiliated
person" of any investment company," or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company," and the Borrower is not an "investment advisor" or an
"affiliated person" of an "investment advisor" (as each of the quoted terms is
defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).
(b) The Borrower is not subject to regulation under any state or
local public utilities code or federal, state, or local statute or regulation
limiting the ability of the Borrower to incur indebtedness for money borrowed
or to pledge assets of the type contemplated hereunder.
4.13 LABOR MATTERS. There are no strikes or other labor disputes
against the Borrower pending or, to the Borrower's knowledge, threatened.
Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower has not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing
with such matters. All payments due from the Borrower on account of employee
health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on its
books.
4.14 ERISA REQUIREMENT. Except as previously disclosed to Agent in
writing, the Borrower does not have in force any written or oral bonus plan,
stock option plan, employee welfare, pension or profit sharing plan, or any
other employee benefit arrangement or understanding. In addition, the
Borrower and any predecessor of the Borrower is not now or was not formerly
during the five year period immediately preceding the effective date of this
Agreement a participating employer in any multi-employer or "multiple
employer" plans within the meaning of Sections 4001(1)(a)(3), 4063, and 4064
of ERISA. Each employee benefit plan subject to the requirements of ERISA
complies with all of the requirements of ERISA and those plans which are
subject to being "qualified" under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, have since their adoption
been "qualified" and have received favorable determination letters from the
Internal Revenue Service so holding. There is no matter which would adversely
affect the qualified tax exempt status of any such trust or plan, and except
as previously disclosed to the Agent, there are no deficiencies or liabilities
for any such plan or trust. No employee benefit plan sponsored by the
Borrower has engaged in a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" as defined in
ERISA.
4.15 COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. The Borrower warrants
and represents to the Agent and the Banks that to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, the Property described herein is now and at all times hereafter
will continue to be in full compliance with all federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations as they now exist or are hereafter enacted
and/or amended, including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by the Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, and
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, as amended. The Borrowers
shall indemnify and hold the Agent and the Banks harmless from and against any
and all damages, penalties, fines, claims, liens, suits, liabilities, costs
(including cleanup costs), judgments and expenses (including attorneys',
consultants' or experts' fees and expenses) of every kind and nature suffered
by or asserted against the Agent or the Banks as a direct or indirect result
of any warranty or representation made by the Borrower in this paragraph being
false or untrue in any material respect or any requirement under any law,
regulation or ordinance, whether local, state or federal, which requires the
elimination or removal of any hazardous materials, substances, wastes or other
environmentally regulated substances. The Borrower's obligations hereunder
shall not be limited to any extent by the term of the Indebtedness secured
hereby, and, as to any act or occurrence prior to payment in full and
satisfaction of the Indebtedness which gives rise to liability hereunder,
shall continue, survive and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
payment in full and satisfaction of the Indebtedness.
4.16 COMPLIANCE WITH REIT REQUIREMENTS. CNLR is in compliance with all
requirements applicable to a Real Estate Investment Trust imposed by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all applicable regulations
thereunder, Net I and Net II are in compliance with all requirements
applicable to a Qualified REIT Subsidiary imposed by the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and all applicable regulations thereunder and the
Borrower is not aware of any fact that would negatively impact such
qualifications.
4.17 PRINCIPAL OFFICE/CORPORATE NAME. The principal office, chief
executive office, and principal place of business of the Borrower is at 000
Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000. The Borrower maintains
its principal records and books at such address.
4.18 USE OF CREDIT. The Revolving Credit Advances shall be used
exclusively for the purposes specified in Section 2.4 hereof. The Borrower is
not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U, Regulation X
or Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and
no part of the proceeds of any Advance hereunder will be used to purchase or
carry any "margin stock," to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock," or for any other purpose which
might constitute this transaction a "purpose credit" within the meaning of
Regulation U, Regulation X, or Regulation G. Neither the Borrower nor any
Person acting on behalf of the Borrower has taken or will take any action
which might cause the Note or any other Loan Documents, including this
Agreement, to violate Regulation U, Regulation X, or Regulation G or any other
regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system or violate
Section 8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation
thereunder, in each case as now in effect as the same may hereinafter be in
effect. The Borrower owns no "margin stock" except for that described in the
financial statements referred to in Section 4.4 hereof and, as of the date
hereof, the aggregate value of all "margin stock" owned by the Borrower does
not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of all of the Borrower's
assets. In connection with the Credit, the Borrower will upon request of the
Agent deliver to the Agent a statement in conformity with the requirements of
Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation.
SECTION 5. CONDITIONS OF LENDING.
The obligation of the Agent and the Banks to establish the Credit or to
permit any borrowing or issue Letters of Credit hereunder is conditioned upon
the performance of all agreements by the Borrowers contained herein, as well
as satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
5.1 REQUEST FOR BORROWING; SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION. Each
request for a borrowing or the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder shall
be evidenced by a Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Exhibit "B"
hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event CNLR has not received an
Investment Grade Rating (or written confirmation that the only condition to

Documents) on or before June 30, 1997, each request for a borrowing or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder shall be evidenced by a Notice of
Borrowing in substantially the form of Exhibit "C" hereto and, at Agent's sole
discretion, if a borrowing is for the purpose of acquiring restaurant or
retail properties pursuant to the Agreement, the Security Documents described

requesting such Advance, the Borrower must deliver to the Agent all of the
information as may be reasonably requested by the Agent in response to the
Borrowers' request for a borrowing or the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Any
Advance of funds by the Banks without obtaining all such Security Documents
and information shall not constitute a waiver by the Agent or any Bank of its
right to receive such Security Documents and information and a failure of the
Borrowers to deliver the same to the Agent upon demand shall constitute a
default hereunder.
5.2 CONTINUING ACCURACY OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. At the
time of each borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true,
correct, and complete on and as of the date of such borrowing or Letter of
Credit issuance hereunder with the same effect as though the representations
and warranties had been made on and as of the date of the borrowing or Letter
of Credit issuance.

of Credit hereunder, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with all terms and
conditions set forth herein, and no Event of Default, nor any event which upon

Credit issuance.

favorable opinion of counsel for Borrowers, in form and substance satisfactory

Borrower for the purpose of effecting an offering of an equity interest in

Borrower, or upon any part thereof, or (iii) by reason of employee benefit

any such property; provided, however, no Borrower shall be required to pay any
such tax, assessment, charge, levy, or claim so long as the validity thereof
shall be actively contested in good faith by proper proceedings; but provided
further that any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, or claim shall be paid
forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien securing
the same.
6.9 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY, LEASES. Each Borrower will maintain its
property in good condition and repair and, from time to time, make all
necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and
improvements thereto, so that any business carried on may be properly and
advantageously conducted at all times in accordance with prudent business
management. Each Borrower will maintain all leases on its property and ground

made by other Persons engaged in a similar business similarly situated
(including without limitation insurance for fire and other hazards and

exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The relationship between
the Agent and each Bank is and shall be that of agent and principal only and
nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to
constitute the Agent a trustee for any Bank or to establish a fiduciary
relationship with any Bank or impose on the Agent any duties,
responsibilities, or obligations other than those expressly set forth in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(b) The Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with
respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights or taking any
actions which may be vested in it or which it may be able to take under or in
respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless this Agreement
expressly otherwise provides or unless the Agent shall have been instructed by
the Required Banks to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights or
taking such actions (in which case it shall be required to so act or refrain
from acting pursuant to the directions of the Required Banks); provided,
however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action or refrain
from acting in any manner which in its judgment exposes the Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Agent
agrees to give to each Bank prompt notice of each notice given to it by any
Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or

matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the
Agent with reasonable care.
9.3 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. Neither the Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, subsidiaries or

Person's own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b)

representations, or warranties made by any Borrower or any officer thereof
contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any certificate,
report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Bank to

agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the
properties, books, or records of any Borrower.
9.4 RELIANCE BY THE AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram,
telecopy, telex, or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct, and to have been
signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including without limitation, counsel to any
Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Agent.
The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with
Section 11.4 hereof. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks
(or, when expressly required hereby or by the relevant other Loan Document,
all the Banks) as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action except for liabilities arising solely from its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Banks (or, when
expressly required hereby, all the Banks), and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks
and all future holders of the Note.
9.5 AGENT AND AFFILIATES. With respect to its Revolving Credit
Commitment and the Advances made by it, the Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Agent; and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall,
unless otherwise indicated, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The
Agent and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank)
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of,
accept investment banking engagements from, and generally engage in any kind
of business with, any Borrower, and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of any Borrower all as if it were not the Agent. The Agent and its
affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for
services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to
account for the same to the Banks.

knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder unless
it has received written notice or telephonic notice confirmed immediately in
writing from a Bank or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing
such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default".
In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Banks. The Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Banks;
provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions,
the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks.
9.7 NON-RELIANCE ON THE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Bank expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, subsidiaries or affiliates
has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent
hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any
Bank. Each Bank represents to the Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers, and made its own decision to
enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking
or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to
make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports, and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent
hereunder or by the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any bank with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, financial, and other condition
or creditworthiness of the Borrowers which may come into the possession of the
Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact, subsidiaries, or affiliates.
9.8 ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT. All rights of action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all rights to any Collateral
hereunder may be enforced by the Agent and any suit or proceeding instituted
by the Agent in furtherance of such enforcement may be brought in its name as
the Agent without the necessity of joining any Banks as plaintiffs or
defendants, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of the
Banks, subject to the expenses of the Agent. Unless otherwise permitted by
the Required Banks, no Bank (other than the Agent) shall attempt to enforce
any rights of action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the
rights to any Collateral.
9.9 INDEMNIFICATION. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent in its
capacity as such and to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers
and without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers to do so, ratably
according to the respective principal amounts of the Advances then owing to
each of them (or if no Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according
to the respective amounts of their Revolving Credit Commitments), from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements or any kind or
nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or any action taken
or omitted by the Agent in connection therewith (including, without
limitation, the costs and expenses payable by the Borrowers under Subsection
11.2); provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent they arise from the Agent's gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank agrees
to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for such Bank's ratable share of
any costs and expenses payable by the Borrowers under Section 11.2, to the
extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses
by the Borrowers. The agreements contained in this Subsection shall survive
the repayment of the Advances and termination of the facilities hereunder.
9.10 FAILURE TO ACT. Except for actions expressly required of the
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall in all
cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and
thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from
the Banks of their indemnification obligations hereunder against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.
9.11 SUCCESSOR AGENT. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrowers. Upon any such
resignation and after consultation with the Borrowers, the Required Banks
shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted
such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice
of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, and after
consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of
any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and
duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring
Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Section
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
its while it was the Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION BY BORROWERS.
The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Agent,
the Issuing Bank, and each Bank and their respective officers, directors,
employees, and agents (individually an "Indemnified Party" and collectively
the "Indemnified Parties") against and agrees to hold the Indemnified Parties
harmless from, any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, and expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of any kind whatsoever
arising out of, or in any way connected with, or as a result of (a) the
transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents, (b) the use of proceeds of
the Credit, (c) the execution and delivery of any subsequent credit
documentation or other document contemplated hereby or thereby by the parties
hereto or the performance of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder or (d) any claim, action, suit, investigation, or proceeding
relating to the foregoing or to any Borrower whether or not the Indemnified
Party is a party thereto; provided that in no event shall any Borrower be
liable for indemnity hereunder by reason of any act or omission caused by the
bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.

made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Bank, or any
Borrower.

effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the Banks,

duties of the Agent under this Agreement.
11.2 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND TAXES. The
Borrowers agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each
Bank for all of their reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution,

fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the
Banks, including attorneys' fees out of court, in trial, on appeal, in
bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise, (c) without limiting the generality of
provision (a) hereof, to pay or reimburse the Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the
Banks for, and indemnify and hold the Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Banks
harmless against liability for, any and all documentary stamp taxes, annual
and non-recurring intangible taxes, or other taxes, together with any
interest, penalties, or other liabilities in connection therewith, that the
Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Bank now or hereafter determines are payable
with respect to the Loan Documents, the obligations evidenced by the Loan
Documents, any Advances, the Letters of Credit, and any guaranties or
mortgages or other security instruments, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold
the Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Banks harmless from and against any and
all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance,
and administration of the Loan Documents or the Letters of Credit. The
agreements in this Subsection shall survive repayment of all other amounts
payable hereunder or pursuant hereto, now or in the future, and shall be
secured by the Collateral.
11.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Agent, each Bank, each Borrower, and their
respective successors and permitted assignees or transferees.

Bank.
(b) Each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other entities
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement

assigning the Bank's rights and obligations under and in respect of the
facility being assigned; (ii) the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment
being assigned pursuant to the assignment (determined as of the date of the

(iii) the Borrowers and the Agent shall consent to the assignment, which
consent, in either case, shall not be unreasonably withheld (except that no
consent by the Borrowers or the Agent shall be required in the case of any
assignment to another Bank and no consent by the Borrowers shall be required
after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing); and (iv) the
parties to the assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment
and Acceptance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "G", together with an

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance,
the assigning Bank thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) other than the representation and warranty that it is
the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and
clear of any adverse claim, such assigning Bank makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency,
or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto;
(ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition
of the Borrowers or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of
its obligations 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 Section 6.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank, 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 the Agent to
take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by
the terms hereof 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 Bank.
(d) Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving
Credit Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided, however, that (i)
each such participation shall be in an amount not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (ii) the Bank's obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment) shall remain
unchanged; (iii) the Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations; (iv) the Borrowers, the Agent,
and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank
in connection with the Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement; and
(v) the Bank may not agree with the participant to require the participant's
consent or permit the participant to vote on whether to take or refrain from
taking any action or to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of
any Loan Document, or any consent or any departure by any party therefrom,
except that the Bank may agree with the participant that the Bank will not,
without the consent or vote of the participant, agree to (1) increase the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank or subject such Bank to any
additional obligations; (2) extend any revolving credit or line of credit
termination or conversion date affecting the Bank; (3) reduce the principal
of, or interest on, the Advances payable to the Bank or any fees or other
amounts payable to the Bank; (4) postpone any date for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Advances payable to the Bank or any fees or
other amounts payable to the Bank; or (5) release all or substantially all of
the Collateral; in each case if the rights of the participant are or would be
affected thereby.
(e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary,
nothing herein is intended to prohibit the assigning, discounting, or pledging
of all or any portion of a Bank's interest in the Advances or the Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to regulations of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Advances or interest in the Note
shall be fully transferrable as provided therein. No such assignment shall
release the assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder.
(f) The Borrowers agree that any participants shall have the
same rights of set-off against the Borrowers as granted the Banks in
Subsection 11.6 hereof. Upon the written request of the Borrowers, the Banks
will advise the Borrowers of the names of any participants and the extent of
their interest herein.
11.5 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
(a) The Agent and the Banks shall exercise their good faith
efforts not to make any public disclosure of confidential information obtained
pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to, now or in the future, apply to any information reflected in any
recorded document, information obtained from sources other than the Borrowers,
or otherwise in the public domain nor shall it be construed to prevent the
Agent or any Bank from (i) making any disclosure of any information (A) if
required to do so by any applicable law or regulation or accepted banking
practice, (B) to any governmental agency or regulatory body having or claiming
authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the Agent's or such Bank's
business or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with the
exercise of such authority or claimed authority, (C) pursuant to subpoena, (D)
to the extent the Agent or such Bank or their respective counsel deems
necessary or appropriate to do so to effect or preserve the Collateral or to
enforce any remedy provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise available
by law, (ii) subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, making such
disclosures as such Bank reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to any bank
or financial institution (and/or counsel thereto) which is a prospective
assignee or participant under Subsection 11.4 (each such bank or financial
institution, a "Prospective Bank") or (iii) making, on a confidential basis,
such disclosures as the Agent or such Bank deems necessary or appropriate to
the Agent's or such Bank's counsel or accountants (including outside
auditors).
(b) Each Bank agrees that prior to (a) disclosing to any
Prospective Bank any information which the Banks have agreed hereunder to hold
as confidential or (b) entering into an agreement granting to a Prospective
Bank an interest in the Advances, the applicable Bank shall make a good faith
effort to obtain an agreement executed by such Prospective Bank in form and
substance similar to the provisions of this Subsection; provided, that in no
event shall such Bank or the Agent be liable for any breach of such agreement
by the Prospective Bank.
11.6 LIENS; SET-OFF. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Agent and the
Banks (including any Banks added at a later time) a continuing lien to secure
all indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Agent and the Banks created hereunder
or pursuant to the Loan Documents upon any and all monies, securities, and
other property of such Borrower and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter
held or received by or in transit to, the Agent or any Bank from or for the
Borrowers, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special) and credits
of the Borrowers, if any, at the Agent or any Bank, at any time existing.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Agent, and the Banks are
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to such
Borrower, to set off, appropriate, and apply any or all items hereinabove
referred to against indebtedness of the Borrowers owed to the Agent or the
Banks under the Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising.
The Agent or any Bank shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set-off
and to have made a charge against such items immediately upon the occurrence
of such Event of Default although made or entered on its books subsequent
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Bank exercising any right to set-
off hereunder shall promptly thereafter deliver to the Agent and the Borrowers
a written notice thereof, provided that any failure to deliver such notice
shall not, in any event, limit such Bank's or any other Bank's right of set-
off hereunder.
11.7 NOTICES. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any
notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall
be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied, telexed, or sent by
United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given
when delivered in person, receipt of telecopy or telex or four Business Days
after depositing it in the United States mail, registered or certified, with
postage prepaid and properly addressed. For the purposes hereof, the
addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered
as provided in this Subsection 11.7) shall be as set forth under each party's
name on the signature pages hereof.
11.8 WAIVER OF DEFAULT. The Banks may, in accordance with the
provisions of Subsection 11.1, by written notice to the Borrowers, at any time
and from time to time, waive any Event of Default and its consequences, or any
default in the performance or observance of any condition, covenant, or other
term hereof and its consequences. Any such waiver shall be for such period
and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in any such notice. In
the case of any such waiver, the Borrowers and the Banks shall be restored to
their former positions prior to such Event of Default or default and shall
have the same rights as they had thereto, and any Event of Default or default
so waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or default, or impair
any right consequent thereto.
11.9 NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No omission or failure of the
Agent or the Banks to exercise and no delay in exercising by the Agent or the
Banks of any power, or privilege, shall operate as a waiver thereof or be
construed to be a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The
rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law, and the warranties,
representations, covenants, and agreements made therein shall be cumulative,
except in the case of irreconcilable inconsistency, in which case the
provisions of this Agreement shall control.
11.10 VENUE AND JURISDICTION. In any litigation in connection with or
to enforce this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, each Borrower
irrevocably consents to and confers personal jurisdiction on the courts of the
State of Florida located in Orange County or the United States courts located
within the Middle District of the State of Florida, expressly waives any
objections as to venue in any of such courts, and agrees that service of
process may be made on such Borrower by mailing a copy of the summons and
complaint by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
address set forth herein below the name of the Borrower on the signature page
hereto (or otherwise expressly provided in writing). Nothing contained herein
shall, however, prevent the Agent from bringing any action or exercising any
rights within any other state or jurisdiction or from obtaining personal
jurisdiction by any other means available by applicable law.
11.11 GOVERNING LAW. The validity, interpretation, and enforcement of
this Agreement, of the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and of
the other documents delivered in connection herewith shall be governed by, and
construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Florida, excluding those laws relating to the resolution of conflicts between
laws of different jurisdictions.
11.12 TITLE AND HEADINGS; TABLE OF CONTENTS. The titles and headings
preceding the text of the Sections and Subsections of this Agreement and the
Table of Contents have been inserted and included solely for convenience of
reference and shall neither constitute a part of this Agreement nor affect its
meaning, interpretation, or effect.
11.13 COMPLETE AGREEMENT. The Loan Documents contain the final,
complete, and exclusive expression of the understanding of the Borrowers, the
Agent, and the Banks with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreement or
representation, oral or written, by or between the parties related to the
subject matter hereof.
11.14 LEGAL OR GOVERNMENTAL LIMITATIONS. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Banks shall not be obligated to
extend credit or make any loans to the Borrowers in an amount in violation of
any limitations or prohibitions provided by any applicable statute or
regulation.
11.15 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be
executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of
which together shall constitute one instrument.
11.16 ADDITIONAL BANKS.
(a) Agent may, upon the consent of the Borrowers, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, at any time add one or more banks to this
Agreement by each such bank agreeing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement by virtue of executing a signature page hereto, which shall contain
the amount of such bank's Revolving Credit Commitment. Upon the execution of
a signature page hereto and the satisfaction of the conditions and other terms
herein, such additional bank shall be deemed a "Bank" for the purposes of this
Agreement and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations of a Bank as
set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Upon the execution of a signature page hereto by the
additional Bank, the then existing Banks shall be deemed to sell and assign to
the additional Bank, without representation, warranty, or recourse, and the
additional Bank shall be deemed to purchase and assume from the existing
Banks, a portion of the rights and obligations of the existing Banks with
respect to the Credit such that after the sale and assignment each of the
Banks (including the additional Bank) shall own a portion of the Credit, the
Advances, and the Letter of Credit Contingent Obligations in an amount equal
to its Pro Rata Portion (after adjustment to take into account the Revolving
Credit Commitment of the additional Bank). Pursuant to such sale and
assignment of a portion of the Credit, the existing Banks are entitled to
payment of all amounts owing under the portions of the Credit sold and
assigned, and the additional Bank shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of
the existing Banks, at its Lending Office specified in the signature pages
hereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the additional
Bank's Pro Rata Portion of all amounts owing under the Credit.
(c) By executing and delivering a signature page hereto, the
additional Bank confirms to and agrees with the other parties hereto as
follows:
(i) the Banks and the Agent make no representation or
warranty and assume no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency,
or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto;
(ii) the Banks and the Agent make no representation or
warranty and assume no responsibility with respect to the financial condition
of the Borrowers or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of
its obligations or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(iii) the additional Bank confirms that it has received a
copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements
referred to in Section 6.1 and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement;
(iv) the additional Bank will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any of the Banks, 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) the additional Bank appoints and authorizes the Agent
to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and
(vi) the additional Bank 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 Bank.
11.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL BY BORROWERS. EACH BORROWER HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RESPECTIVE RIGHTS IT MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ANY
AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE
OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO. FURTHERMORE, NO BORROWER
SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED
WITH ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED. THIS WAIVER IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BANKS ACCEPTING AND ENTERING INTO THE CREDIT
CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OR ANY AGREEMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION
WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) FROM, OR WITH, THE BORROWERS.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the
day and year first above written.

WHEREAS, the Borrower is the present owner in fee simple of certain real

particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof;
and
WHEREAS, the Agent and the Banks, as a condition to making the aforesaid
loan, have required the execution by the Borrower of this Assignment of Lease
and of all rents, income and profits of the Property;
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to further secure the payment of all
indebtedness of the Borrower to the Agent or the Banks pursuant to the Loan
Documents, whether now existing or hereafter owing ("Indebtedness"), and in
consideration of the line of credit represented by the Note, the Borrower does
hereby assign, transfer, set over and convey unto the Agent, for the benefit
of the Banks, all of the leases, rents, issues, profits, accounts receivable
and income of, from, or pertaining to the Property. This Assignment shall
include all rents, income and profits arising from any and all leases, rental
or occupancy agreements that may now be in effect, as well as any future or
additional leases, rental or occupancy agreements, and any renewals or
extensions of such leases, rental or occupancy agreements (collectively the
"Lease"), that may be entered into by Borrower for the lease, rental or
occupancy of the Property, or any part thereof, and Borrower hereby agrees to
execute and deliver such other and further assignments of said Leases as Agent
may from time to time require.
In furtherance of the foregoing Assignment, the Borrower, the Agent and
the Banks further agree as follows:
1. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that
until a default occurs under the terms of the Indebtedness of Borrower to the
Agent and the Banks, or any documents executed by Borrower in connection with
the Indebtedness, the Borrower shall have the right to collect said rents,
income and profits from the Lease and to retain, use and enjoy the same.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower hereby assigns to the Agent
for the benefit of the Banks any award made hereafter to it in any court
procedure involving the lessee in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
proceedings in any State or Federal court and any and all payments made by the
lessee in lieu of rent under the Lease.
2. The Borrower, in the event of default in the performance of any of
the terms and conditions of the Note or any other Indebtedness, hereby
authorizes the Agent, at its option, to take possession of the Property
pursuant to the terms of the Lease, together with all documents, books,
records, papers, and accounts of the Borrower relating thereto and to manage
and operate same, to collect all or any rents accruing therefrom and from the
Lease, to lease or release the Property, or any part thereof, bring or defend
any suits in connection with possession of the Property in its own name or the
Borrower's name, make repairs as the Agent deems appropriate, and perform such
other acts in connection with the management and operation of the Property as
the Agent, at its discretion, may deem proper, provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary, in the
event the Lease is still in existence at the time the Agent exercises the
aforesaid option, then the Agent shall, until all sums due pursuant to the
Indebtedness are paid in full, continue the leasing of the Property to the
lessee in accordance with the terms of the Lease, provided the payments
required to be made by the lessee under the Lease are made directly to Agent
on behalf of the Banks in a timely manner. The Agent, by continuing the
leasing of the Property to the lessee, and the Banks, by accepting payment
directly from the lessee, do not hereby assume any obligations of the Borrower
under the Lease.
3. The Borrower represents and warrants that it is the owner in fee
simple of the Property and has good title to the leases, rents, income, issues
and property hereby assigned and good right to assign the same, and that no
other person, firm, or corporation has any right, title, or interest therein;
that it has not previously sold, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, or pledged
said rents, issues, profits, income and leases of the Property; and that
payment of any of the same has not otherwise been anticipated, waived,
released, discounted, set off or otherwise discharged or compromised.
4. The Borrower agrees and warrants that the terms of the Lease will
not be amended, altered, modified, or changed in any manner whatsoever, nor
will the Lease be surrendered, terminated or cancelled, nor will any
proceedings for dispossession or eviction of any lessee be instituted by the
Borrower, nor will any obligation on the Lease be released, without the prior
written consent of the Agent or in accordance with the terms of Section 6.9 of
the Agreement.
5. The Borrower agrees and warrants that no request will be made of
any lessee to pay any rent, and no rent will be accepted, in advance of the
dates upon which such rent becomes due and payable under the terms of any and
all leases, it being agreed that rent shall be paid as provided in the Lease
and not otherwise.
6. The Borrower authorizes the Agent, by its employees or agents, at
its option, after the occurrence of a default in any Indebtedness, to enter
upon the Property and to collect, in the name of the Borrower, as its lawful
attorney, or in its own name as assignee, any rents or other income or profits
accrued but unpaid and/or in arrears at the date of such default, as well as
the rents, income or profits thereafter accruing and becoming payable during
the period of the continuance of the said default or any other default; and to
this end, the Borrower further agrees that it will facilitate, in all
reasonable ways, the Agent's collection of said rents, income or profits and
will, upon request by the Agent, execute a written notice to each tenant,
occupant, or licensee, directing said tenant, occupant, or licensee to pay
directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, all income, rents and
profits; provided, however, that the Agent may notify said tenant, occupant or
licensee of the effectiveness of this Assignment without giving notice to the
Borrower or requesting the Borrower to give such notice or join in such
notice.
7. The Borrower authorizes the Agent, upon such entry, at its option,
to take over and assume the management, operation and maintenance of the
Property and to perform all acts necessary and proper and to expend such sums
out of the income of the Property as may be needful in connection therewith,
in the same manner and to the same extent as the Borrower theretofore might
do. The Borrower hereby releases all claims against the Agent and the Banks
arising out of such management, operation and maintenance, excepting the
liability of the Agent to account as hereinafter set forth.
8. The Borrower agrees to execute, upon the request of the Agent, any
and all instruments requested by the Agent to carry these presents into effect
or to accomplish any other purpose deemed by the Agent to be necessary or
appropriate in connection with these presents.
9. The Borrower agrees and acknowledges that this Assignment shall in
no way operate to prevent the Agent from pursuing any remedy which it now or
hereafter may have because of any breach of the terms and conditions of the
Indebtedness.
10. The Agent shall, after payment of all proper charges and expenses,
including reasonable compensation to any managing agent as it shall select and
employ, and after the accumulation of a reserve to meet taxes, assessments and
fire and liability insurance in requisite amounts, remit the net amount of
income received by it from the Property, by virtue of this Assignment, to the
Banks for application to any amounts due and owing to them by the Borrower
under the terms of the Note, but the manner of the application of such net
income and what items shall be remitted shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Agent. The Agent shall make a reasonable effort to collect
rents, income and profits reserving, however, within its own discretion, the
right to terminate the method of collection and the extent to which
enforcement of collection of delinquent rents, income and profits shall be
prosecuted.
11. The Agent and the Banks shall not be obligated to perform or
discharge any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by the Borrower
under the Lease, and the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent and the
Banks for, and to save harmless from, any and all liability arising from the
Lease or from this Assignment. This Assignment shall not place responsibility
for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon the Agent or
the Banks, or make the Agent or the Banks responsible or liable for any
negligence in the management, operation, upkeep, repair or control of the
Property resulting in the loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee,
employee or stranger, unless and until such time as the Agent shall take
possession and control of the same pursuant hereto.
12. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to give notice in writing

liens, suits, liabilities, costs (including cleanup costs), judgments and
expenses (including attorneys', consultants' or experts' fees and expenses) of

as a direct or indirect result of any warranty or representation made by the
Borrower in this paragraph being false or untrue in any material respect or
any requirement under any law, regulation or ordinance, whether local, state
or federal, which requires the elimination or removal of any hazardous
materials, substances, wastes or other environmentally regulated substances.
The Borrower's obligations hereunder shall not be limited to any extent by the
term of the Indebtedness secured hereby, and, as to any act or occurrence

whole or in part; provided, however, that if the Borrower is not in default of
any Indebtedness to the Agent or the Banks at the time that the Indebtedness
is paid in full, a complete release or satisfaction of all of the Agent's and
the Banks' rights and interest hereunder and satisfaction of the Note shall

this Assignment shall secure all future advances made by the Agent or the
Banks to Borrower pursuant to the Agreement for any purpose within twenty (20)
years from the date of this Assignment to the same extent as if such advances
were made on the date of this Assignment. Any such advances may be made at
the option of the Agent or the Banks. The total amount of the Indebtedness,
including future advances, that is secured by this Assignment, may increase or
decrease from time to time, but shall not exceed a maximum principal amount of
Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) at any one time plus
interest thereon and any disbursement made by the Agent or the Banks for the
payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Property with interest on such
disbursement.
19. The provisions of this instrument shall be binding upon the
Borrower and its successors and assigns as well as any subsequent owner of the
Property, and upon the Agent and the Banks and their successors and assigns.
The creation of rights and powers under this Assignment in favor of, or
available to, the Agent or the Banks shall, in no way whatsoever, be construed
to impose concomitant duties or obligations of the Agent or the Banks in favor
of the Borrower or the Borrower's lessee except as expressly set forth herein.

WHEREAS, the Borrower is the present owner of a leasehold interest in

WHEREAS, the Agent and the Banks, as a condition to making the aforesaid

and of all rents, income and profits of the Property;
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to further secure the payment of all
indebtedness of the Borrower to the Agent or the Banks pursuant to the Loan
Documents, whether now existing or hereafter owing ("Indebtedness"), and in
consideration of the line of credit represented by the Note, the Borrower does
hereby assign, transfer, set over and convey unto the Agent, for the benefit
of the Banks, all of the leases, rents, issues, profits, accounts receivable
and income of, from, or pertaining to the Property. This Assignment shall
include all rents, income and profits arising from any and all leases, rental
or occupancy agreements that may now be in effect, as well as any future or

extensions of such leases, rental or occupancy agreements (collectively the
"Lease"), that may be entered into by Borrower for the lease, rental or
occupancy of the Property, or any part thereof, and Borrower hereby agrees to
execute and deliver such other and further assignments of said Leases as Agent
may from time to time require.
In furtherance of the foregoing Assignment, the Borrower, the Agent and
the Banks further agree as follows:
1. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that
until a default occurs under the terms of the Indebtedness of Borrower to the
Agent and the Banks, or any documents executed by Borrower in connection with
the Indebtedness, the Borrower shall have the right to collect said rents,
income and profits from the Lease and to retain, use and enjoy the same.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower hereby assigns to the Agent
for the benefit of the Banks any award made hereafter to it in any court
procedure involving the lessee in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
proceedings in any State or Federal court and any and all payments made by the
lessee in lieu of rent under the Lease.
2. The Borrower, in the event of default in the performance of any of
the terms and conditions of the Note or any other Indebtedness, hereby
authorizes the Agent, at its option, to take possession of the Property
pursuant to the terms of the Lease, together with all documents, books,
records, papers, and accounts of the Borrower relating thereto and to manage
and operate same, to collect all or any rents accruing therefrom and from the
Lease, to lease or release the Property, or any part thereof, bring or defend
any suits in connection with possession of the Property in its own name or the
Borrower's name, make repairs as the Agent deems appropriate, and perform such
other acts in connection with the management and operation of the Property as
the Agent, at its discretion, may deem proper, provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary, in the
event the Lease is still in existence at the time the Agent exercises the
aforesaid option, then the Agent shall, until all sums due pursuant to the
Indebtedness are paid in full, continue the leasing of the Property to the
lessee in accordance with the terms of the Lease, provided the payments
required to be made by the lessee under the Lease are made directly to Agent
on behalf of the Banks in a timely manner. The Agent, by continuing the
leasing of the Property to the lessee, and the Banks, by accepting payment
directly from the lessee, do not hereby assume any obligations of the Borrower
under the Lease.
3. The Borrower represents and warrants that it is the owner of a
leasehold interest in the Property and has good title to the leases, rents,
income, issues and property hereby assigned and good right to assign the same,
and that no other person, firm, or corporation has any right, title, or
interest therein; that it has not previously sold, assigned, transferred,
mortgaged, or pledged said rents, issues, profits, income and leases of the
Property; and that payment of any of the same has not otherwise been
anticipated, waived, released, discounted, set off or otherwise discharged or
compromised.
4. The Borrower agrees and warrants that the terms of the Lease will
not be amended, altered, modified, or changed in any manner whatsoever, nor
will the Lease be surrendered, terminated or cancelled, nor will any
proceedings for dispossession or eviction of any lessee be instituted by the
Borrower, nor will any obligation on the Lease be released, without the prior
written consent of the Agent or in accordance with the terms of Section 6.9 of
the Agreement.
5. The Borrower agrees and warrants that no request will be made of
any lessee to pay any rent, and no rent will be accepted, in advance of the
dates upon which such rent becomes due and payable under the terms of any and
all leases, it being agreed that rent shall be paid as provided in the Lease
and not otherwise.
6. The Borrower authorizes the Agent, by its employees or agents, at
its option, after the occurrence of a default in any Indebtedness, to enter
upon the Property and to collect, in the name of the Borrower, as its lawful
attorney, or in its own name as assignee, any rents or other income or profits
accrued but unpaid and/or in arrears at the date of such default, as well as
the rents, income or profits thereafter accruing and becoming payable during
the period of the continuance of the said default or any other default; and to
this end, the Borrower further agrees that it will facilitate, in all
reasonable ways, the Agent's collection of said rents, income or profits and
will, upon request by the Agent, execute a written notice to each tenant,
occupant, or licensee, directing said tenant, occupant, or licensee to pay
directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, all income, rents and
profits; provided, however, that the Agent may notify said tenant, occupant or
licensee of the effectiveness of this Assignment without giving notice to the
Borrower or requesting the Borrower to give such notice or join in such
notice.
7. The Borrower authorizes the Agent, upon such entry, at its option,
to take over and assume the management, operation and maintenance of the
Property and to perform all acts necessary and proper and to expend such sums
out of the income of the Property as may be needful in connection therewith,
in the same manner and to the same extent as the Borrower theretofore might
do. The Borrower hereby releases all claims against the Agent and the Banks
arising out of such management, operation and maintenance, excepting the
liability of the Agent to account as hereinafter set forth.
8. The Borrower agrees to execute, upon the request of the Agent, any
and all instruments requested by the Agent to carry these presents into effect
or to accomplish any other purpose deemed by the Agent to be necessary or
appropriate in connection with these presents.
9. The Borrower agrees and acknowledges that this Assignment shall in
no way operate to prevent the Agent from pursuing any remedy which it now or
hereafter may have because of any breach of the terms and conditions of the
Indebtedness.
10. The Agent shall, after payment of all proper charges and expenses,
including reasonable compensation to any managing agent as it shall select and
employ, and after the accumulation of a reserve to meet taxes, assessments and
fire and liability insurance in requisite amounts, remit the net amount of
income received by it from the Property, by virtue of this Assignment, to the
Banks for application to any amounts due and owing to them by the Borrower
under the terms of the Note, but the manner of the application of such net
income and what items shall be remitted shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Agent. The Agent shall make a reasonable effort to collect
rents, income and profits reserving, however, within its own discretion, the
right to terminate the method of collection and the extent to which
enforcement of collection of delinquent rents, income and profits shall be
prosecuted.
11. The Agent and the Banks shall not be obligated to perform or
discharge any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by the Borrower
under the Lease, and the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent and the
Banks for, and to save harmless from, any and all liability arising from the
Lease or from this Assignment. This Assignment shall not place responsibility
for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon the Agent or
the Banks, or make the Agent or the Banks responsible or liable for any
negligence in the management, operation, upkeep, repair or control of the
Property resulting in the loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee,
employee or stranger, unless and until such time as the Agent shall take
possession and control of the same pursuant hereto.
12. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to give notice in writing
of this Assignment at any time to any lessee or occupant of the Property.
Violation of any of the covenants, representations and provisions contained
herein by the Borrower shall be deemed a default under the terms of the
Agreement and the Note. Default by the Borrower under the terms of the Lease
assigned herein shall be deemed a default under the terms of the Agreement and
the Note.
13. The Borrower consents and agrees that it will continuously
maintain, or cause to be maintained, fire and extended coverage and other
hazard insurance with respect to all improvements on the Property, to the full
insurable value of said improvements, and will promptly furnish the Agent
evidence of said coverage upon request.
14. The Borrower shall be deemed in default hereunder upon the
occurrence of one or more Events of Default as defined in Section 8 of the
Agreement.
15. This Assignment is and shall be deemed to create, grant, give and
convey a lien and encumbrance upon, and a present security interest in the
Lease, rents, issues, income and profits and accounts receivable described
herein, as collateral security for the payment and performance by Borrower of
the Indebtedness. This Assignment shall also serve as a "Security Agreement"
within the meaning of that term as used in the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted and in force from time to time in the state in which the Property is
located, and shall be operative and effective as a Security Agreement in
addition to, and not in substitution for, any other Security Agreement
executed by the Borrower in connection with the extension of credit or loan
transaction secured hereby. The Borrower agrees to and shall, upon the
request of the Agent, execute and deliver to the Agent, in form satisfactory
to the Agent, such "Financing Statements", descriptions of property and such
further assurances as the Agent, in its sole discretion, may from time to time
consider necessary to create, perfect, continue and preserve the lien and
encumbrances hereof and the security interest granted herein. The Agent, at
the expense of the Borrower, may or shall cause statements, descriptions and
assurances and this Assignment to be recorded and re-recorded, filed and
refiled, at such times and in such places as may be required or permitted by
law to so create, perfect and preserve the lien and encumbrance hereof upon
all of said collateral.
16. The Borrower warrants and represents to the Agent and the Banks
that to the best of Borrower's knowledge, the Property described herein is now

liens, suits, liabilities, costs (including cleanup costs), judgments and
expenses (including attorneys', consultants' or experts' fees and expenses) of
every kind and nature suffered by or asserted against the Agent or the Banks
as a direct or indirect result of any warranty or representation made by the

any requirement under any law, regulation or ordinance, whether local, state
or federal, which requires the elimination or removal of any hazardous
materials, substances, wastes or other environmentally regulated substances.
The Borrower's obligations hereunder shall not be limited to any extent by the

whole or in part; provided, however, that if the Borrower is not in default of
any Indebtedness to the Agent or the Banks at the time that the Indebtedness
is paid in full, a complete release or satisfaction of all of the Agent's and
the Banks' rights and interest hereunder and satisfaction of the Note shall

18. In addition to all other Indebtedness secured by this Assignment,
this Assignment shall secure all future advances made by the Agent or the

years from the date of this Assignment to the same extent as if such advances

including future advances, that is secured by this Assignment, may increase or
decrease from time to time, but shall not exceed a maximum principal amount of
Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) at any one time plus
interest thereon and any disbursement made by the Agent or the Banks for the
payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Property with interest on such
disbursement.
19. The provisions of this instrument shall be binding upon the
Borrower and its successors and assigns as well as any subsequent owner of the
Property, and upon the Agent and the Banks and their successors and assigns.
The creation of rights and powers under this Assignment in favor of, or
available to, the Agent or the Banks shall, in no way whatsoever, be construed
to impose concomitant duties or obligations of the Agent or the Banks in favor
of the Borrower or the Borrower's lessee except as expressly set forth herein.
