2.1. Revolving Credit Loans.
Sub-Part A - Loans to the Borrower
2.1.1. Commitment to Lend and Borrower's Promise to Pay. (a) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and provided there
is then existing no Suspension Event or Event of Default, the Bank agrees
to lend to the Borrower and the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow
from time to time between the Closing Date and the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Bank given in accordance
with 2.1.7, such sums as are outstanding as of the Closing Date and as may
thereafter be requested by the Borrower, provided, however, the maximum
principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans made to the Borrower (after
giving effect to all amounts requested) shall not, at any one time, exceed
the Borrower Availability. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan here-
under shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower on behalf
of itself and each of the Parties that the conditions set forth in 10 and
11, in the case of the initial Revolving Credit Loan, and 11, in the case
of all other Revolving Credit Loans, have been satisfied on the date of
such request.

the Obligations, the Revolving Credit Loans shall mature and be due and

shall be payable to the order of the Bank in the principal amount equal to
the Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit

set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or
cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any
Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower, or at the time of receipt of any
payment of principal on the Borrower's Revolving Credit Note, an appro-
priate notation on the Record reflecting the making of such Revolving
Credit Loan to the Borrower, or (as the case may be) the receipt of such
payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made to the
Borrower set forth on the Record shall be prima facie evidence of the
principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Bank, but the failure to
record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Record shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or
under the Borrower Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of,
or interest on, the Borrower Revolving Credit Note when due.

notice by the LP to the Bank given in accordance with 2.1.7, such sums as
are outstanding on the Closing Date and as thereafter may be requested by
the LP, provided, however, the maximum principal amount of Revolving Credit
Loans made to the LP (after giving effect to all amounts requested) shall
not, at any one time, exceed the LP Availability. Each request for a
Revolving Credit Loan to the LP hereunder shall constitute a representation
and warranty by the LP on behalf of itself and each of the Parties that the
conditions set forth in 10 and 11, in the case of the initial Revolving
Credit Loan made to the LP, and 11, in the case of all other Revolving
Credit Loans made to the LP, have been satisfied on the date of such
request.
(b) Except as provided for in 2.2.2, and in 2.2.4, herein, and
provided there is no Event of Default pursuant to which the Obligations are
deemed to be accelerated (as provided for herein), or the Bank accelerates
the Obligations, the Revolving Credit Loans made to the LP shall mature and
be due and payable, in full, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
2.1.4. The LP's Revolving Credit Note. The LP's Revolving Credit
Loans shall be evidenced by an amended and restated promissory note of the

of the Bank in the principal amount equal to the Commitment or, if less,
the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made to the LP made by
the Bank, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The LP
irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about
the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan made to the LP
or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on the LP Revolving
Credit Note, an appropriate notation on the Record reflecting the making of
such Revolving Credit Loan to the LP or (as the case may be) the receipt of
such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made to
the LP set forth on the Record shall be prima facie evidence of the
principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Bank, but the failure to
record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Record shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the LP hereunder or under
the LP Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of, or interest
on, the LP Revolving Credit Note when due.
Sub-Part C - Applicable to All Revolving Credit Loans
2.1.5. Collateral Note. In addition to the Revolving Credit Note, to
the extent the Bank or its counsel deem it necessary or advisable to
perfect and/or enforce its rights and remedies against the Parties in each
or any of the jurisdiction where any of the Strategic Projects or Non-
Strategic Projects are located, the Parties shall execute and deliver to
the Bank, a note and/or an amendment and restatement to any existing
note(s) (hereinafter, individually and collectively, the "Collateral Note")
evidencing all or any portion of the Obligations to the Bank, or to any
beneficiary under any Deed(s) of Trust. The Collateral Note shall not
constitute an obligation in addition to the Revolving Credit Notes, but
rather, the outstanding principal balance of any such Collateral Note shall
constitute a portion of the Revolving Credit Notes. Additionally, interest
shall accrue and be payable, together with the outstanding principal
balance of the Collateral Note, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Revolving Credit Notes.
2.1.6. Interest on Revolving Credit Loans.
(a) Each Domestic Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period
commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto at the Domestic Rate.
(b) (i) Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period
commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto at the Eurodollar Rate determined for
such Interest Period.
(ii) In accordance with 2.1.8, herein, until the occurrence of an
Event of Default or Suspension Event, the Borrower and/or the LP may select
interest periods of three, six, nine or twelve months with respect to the
Eurodollar Rate Loans, provided that no interest period shall end after the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date and in no event shall there be more than
four (4) Interest Periods in the aggregate in effect at any one time.
(c) The Borrower and the LP shall each pay interest on each Revolving
Credit Loan made to the Borrower or the LP, respectively, in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.
2.1.7. Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. (a) The Borrower and the
LP may request in the aggregate up to four (4) advances each month. The
first request for an advance during each month must be made concurrent with
the Borrower's and the LP's submittance of the Borrowing Base Report for
the subject month. Each subsequent request for an advance must be in the
form of Exhibit C hereto. The Borrower and the LP shall give to the Bank
written notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto of each Revolving Credit
Loan requested hereunder (a "Loan Request") (a) no less than three (3)
Business Days prior to the Drawdown Date for the first Domestic Rate Loan
requested by the Borrower or the LP in any month, (b)(i) on the same
Business Day as the proposed Drawdown Date for any Domestic Rate Loan
requested by the Borrower or the LP after the first advance during any
month if such request for a subsequent advance is received by the Bank by
11:00 a.m. Boston time; in the event that any such requests for subsequent
advances are not received by 11:00 a.m. Boston time, one (1) Business Day
prior to the Drawdown Date, and (c) no less than three (3) Eurodollar
Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Eurodollar Rate
Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower
and the LP and shall obligate the Borrower and/or the LP to accept the
Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Bank on the proposed Drawdown
Date.
(b) Provided there is then existing no Suspension Event or Event
of Default, the Borrower and/or the LP may, from time to time, request that
the Bank make loans and advances against Notes Receivable arising out of
Amenity Sales Contracts, provided, however, (i) nothing contained herein
shall in any way constitute a commitment by the Bank to make any loans or
advances against Notes Receivable arising out of Amenity Sales Contracts,
(ii) all loans or advances against Notes Receivable arising out of Amenity
Sales Contracts shall be subject to Borrower Availability and LP
Availability, as applicable, (iii) the making of any such loan or advance
on any one occasion shall not, in any way, constitute a commitment by the
Bank to make any additional loans or advances on any other occasion, and
(iv) any loans and advances so made by the Bank against Notes Receivable
arising out of any Amenity Sales contracts shall be upon such terms and
conditions as the Bank may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
In the event that any such loans or advances are so made by the Bank, each
such loan or advance shall constitute a Loan.
(c) The Borrower and the LP shall each open and maintain at the
Bank an account (hereinafter, each, a "Loan Account"), into which Loan
Account the Bank may (at the Bank's discretion and without notice in each
instance) deposit the proceeds of any loans or advances under the Revolving
Credit Loan. The payment of principal, interest, Facility Fees,
Administrative Fees, L/C Fees, closing fees and any other amounts due
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents may (at the Bank's
discretion, and without notice, in each instance), be automatically debited
by the Bank from the Loan Account. The Bank shall endeavor to furnish the
Borrower and the LP with notice of any deposit into, or withdrawal of funds
from, the Loan Account, provided, however, the Bank shall not, in any way,
be liable to the Borrower, the LP or any of the other Parties as a result
of its failure to furnish such notice.
2.1.8. Conversion Options.
(a) The Borrower and/or the LP may elect from time to time to
convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan
of another Type, provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Domestic Rate Loan, such conversion shall only
be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; (ii)
with respect to any such conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan to a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the Borrower and/or the LP, as applicable, shall give the Bank
at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days' prior written notice of such
election and (iv) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan when
any Suspension Event or Event of Default has occurred. All or any part of
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted as provided
herein, provided that partial conversions shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $50,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess
thereof. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Domestic
Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower
and/or the LP.
(b) Any Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be continued as
such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by
compliance by the Borrower and/or the LP, as applicable, with the notice
provisions contained in 2.1.8(a); provided that when any Suspension Event
or Event of Default has occurred, any or all Eurodollar Rate Loans may, at
the option of the Bank (in its sole and absolute discretion), be automati-
cally converted to Domestic Rate Loans bearing interest at the Default Rate
either immediately upon such occurrence or on the last day of the Interest
Period relating thereto.
(c) In the event that the Borrower or the LP does not notify the
Bank of its election hereunder with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan,
such Revolving Credit Loan shall be automatically converted to a Domestic
Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
(d) Any conversion to or from Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in
such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Rate Loans
having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
2.2. REPAYMENT OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.
2.2.1. Maturity. (a) The Borrower and the LP each promises to pay on
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due
and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, all of their respective
Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(b) On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower and the
LP shall each cause to be returned to the Bank all undrawn Letters of
Credit.
2.2.2. Mandatory Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. If at any time
the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans exceed the
Borrower Availability or the LP Availability, as applicable, then the
Borrower or the LP, as applicable, shall immediately pay the amount of such
excess to the Bank for application to the Revolving Credit Loans made to
the Borrower or the LP, as applicable.
2.2.3. Optional Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower
and/or the LP, in addition to the payments to be made pursuant to 2.2.4,
below, shall have the right, at its election, to repay the outstanding
amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time
without penalty or premium, subject, however, to the terms and conditions
set forth in 4.8, below; provided that the full or partial prepayment of
the outstanding amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this 2.2.3
may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.
Except with respect to the payments to be made pursuant to 2.2.4, below,
the Borrower and/or the LP shall give the Bank, no later than 10:00 a.m.,
Boston time, at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days' prior written
notice of any proposed repayment pursuant to this 2.2.3 of Eurodollar Rate
Loans, specifying the proposed date of payment of Revolving Credit Loans
and the principal amount to be paid. Each such partial prepayment of the
Eurodollar Rate Loans (other than payments to be made pursuant to 2.2.4,
below) shall be in an integral multiple of $10,000, and shall be accompa-
xxxx by the payment of accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date
of payment. In the absence of instruction by the Borrower or the LP,
partial prepayments of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied
first to the principal of Domestic Rate Loans and then to the principal of
Eurodollar Rate Loans.
2.2.4. Periodic Payments of Revolving Credit Loans. (a) (i) Whether
or not there is then existing a Suspension Event or an Event of Default,
each of the Parties shall cause all payments, checks, drafts, letters of
credit, and other items which represent payment on account of the Notes
Receivables, and any proceeds and collections of the Notes Receivable to be
delivered by the Note Obligors and/or any other Person directly to a lock
box/blocked account or accounts (the "Lock Box Account") at Bank One,
Arizona, or its successors (the "Depository"), or similar recipient.
(ii) Until the within Agreement is terminated by a duly
authorized officer of the Bank, and provided there is then existing no
Suspension Event or Event of Default, weekly (on Tuesday of each week), the
Borrower and the LP shall, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Agency Agreement (hereinafter, the "Agency Agreement") entered into by and
among the Borrower, the LP, the Bank and the Depository, instruct the
Depository to transfer all available (collected) funds in the Lock Box
Account to the Bank in the manner provided for in the Agency Agreement.
The Borrower and the LP each acknowledges and agrees that except with
respect to its (and/or its servicing agent's) ability to instruct the
Depository to transfer funds to the Bank, and its (and/or its servicing
agent's) ability to monitor the status of the Lock Box Account by virtue of
its (and/or its servicing agent's) on-line computer networking with the
Depository, neither the Borrower, the LP nor their respective servicing
agents shall have any right to control, manage or otherwise direct the
Depository to take any action with respect to, the Lock Box Account.
(b) To the extent that any payments, checks, drafts, payments or
the proceeds of any drawing of any letters of credit, and other items
representing payment on account of the Notes Receivable are received by any
of the Parties, each of the Parties shall deliver to the Lock Box Account,
in the same form as so received, all of such payments, checks, drafts,
payments or the proceeds of any drawing of any letters of credit issued for
the benefit of any of the Parties, and other items which represent payments
on account of the Notes Receivable and any proceeds and collections of the
Notes Receivable, each of which payments, checks, drafts, payments or the
proceeds of any drawing of any letters of credit, and other items shall be
endorsed (in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank and the Bank's
counsel) in favor of, and delivered to the Lock Box.
(c) (i) Payments on account of the outstanding amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans shall be paid, from time to time, by application by
the Bank of payments received by the Bank from the Depository on account of
the Notes Receivable.
(ii) All items received in payment toward the Borrower's or
the LP's Obligations prior to 3:00 p.m. Boston Time on the date of receipt
shall be credited against the Obligations on the date of receipt, provided,
however, all items received in payment towards the Obligations after 3:00
p.m. Boston Time on the date of receipt shall not be credited against such
Obligations until the next Business Day, and all such credits shall be
subject to collectability by the Bank of each such item. All payments may
be applied to the Borrower's Revolving Credit Note, the LP's Revolving
Credit Note and the other Obligations in such order and manner as the Bank
in its reasonable discretion determines.
(d) Notwithstanding the application of payments described
herein, the Borrower and the LP shall be responsible for all required
payments whether or not payments are received by the Bank on account of the
Notes Receivable.
2.3. Letters of Credit.
2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Reimbursement
Agreement, upon the written request to the Bank by the Borrower or the LP
(with respect to new Letters of Credit), or by the Borrower, the LP or
MAXXAM (with respect to the extension or renewal of any existing Letter of
Credit), the Bank agrees to: (a) issue, for the account of the Parties, on
any Business Day after the date hereof but prior to the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date (provided, however, no Letters of Credit to be issued shall
have an expiry date that is later in time than the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date), one or more irrevocable stand-by Letters of Credit, and (b)
extend or renew, for the account of the Parties or MAXXAM, any outstanding
Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Parties or MAXXAM prior to
the date hereof, the aggregate of which ((a) and (b)) shall not exceed the
Letter of Credit Amount. Any Letters of Credit previously issued for the
account of the Parties or MAXXAM prior to the date hereof that remain
outstanding as of the date hereof may remain outstanding or be extended or
renewed (subject to the Letter of Credit Amount) provided, however, no new
Letters of Credit will be issued for the account of MAXXAM (or any affili-
ated entity of MAXXAM which is not also a Party), subsequent to the date
hereof. Each written request (including a completed application on the
Bank's form) for the issuance (in favor of the Parties), or the extension
or renewal (on behalf of the Parties or MAXXAM) of a Letter of Credit
hereunder shall be received by the Bank at least three Business Days prior
to the proposed date of issuance. The expiry dates, amounts and bene-
ficiaries of the Letters of Credit will be as agreed by the Borrower, the
LP, or MAXXAM (where applicable) and the Bank (in its reasonable
discretion), and each Letter of Credit shall be in a form acceptable to the
Bank in its discretion. Each Letter of Credit issued subsequent to the
date hereof shall be issued pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement to be
entered into between the Borrower and/or the LP and the Bank; provided,
however, that to the extent that the terms and conditions of any
Reimbursement Agreement are in conflict with or are inconsistent with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the obligations of the Bank, the
Borrower and/or the LP with respect to Letters of Credit shall be governed
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) (i) The Borrower and the LP each acknowledges that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein in any Reimburse-
ment Agreement, and/or on any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower and
the LP shall each be primarily obligated to the Bank for the prompt,
punctual and faithful payment and performance of any drawings under any
Letter of Credit, L/C Fees (as defined herein) and any other costs and
expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit,
whether or not such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of the
Borrower, the LP or for the account of MAXXAM or any of the other Parties.
(ii) The Borrower and the LP each hereby agrees that the
Bank may at any time, and from time to time, without thereby releasing the
Borrower or the LP from any liability on account of the matters referred to
in Subsection (i), above, and without notice to or further consent from the
Borrower or the LP, either with or without consideration: release or
surrender any lien or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held
by it or by any person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its
account, securing any of the Obligations; substitute for any collateral so
held by it, other collateral of like kind, or of any kind; modify the terms
of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of MAXXAM or any of the
Parties or any instrument, document, or agreement relating to such Letter
of Credit between the Bank and MAXXAM or any such Party; extend or renew
the Obligations for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences
with respect to the Obligations or the Loan Documents and to any persons or
entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release MAXXAM or
any Party, surety, endorser or accommodation party of the Obligations, the
Security Documents or any other Loan Documents; or take or fail to take any
action permitted or required pursuant to the Loan Documents.
2.3.2. Interest on Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, any drawing under any Letters of Credit
shall bear interest at the Letter of Credit Interest Rate, compounded daily
(to the extent permitted by law) and shall be payable ON DEMAND.
2.3.3. Effects of Drawings. Each drawing under a Letter of Credit
shall be payable ON DEMAND. The liability of the Borrower and the LP under
this Agreement to repay the Bank in respect of drawings under Letters of
Credit shall be Obligations secured pursuant to the Security Documents and
such liability shall rank pari passu with the Obligations of the Parties
to repay all other Loans hereunder.
3. FEES.
3.1. Facility Fee. The Borrower and/or the LP shall pay the Bank,
monthly in arrears for each month hereafter until the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, a facility fee equal to
(i) the difference between
(A) Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000.00)
and
(B) the average outstanding balance owed by the
Borrower and the LP in the aggregate to the Bank for borrowings
made under the Revolving Credit Loan during the subject month,
(ii) multiplied by 0.375,
(iii) divided by twelve (12).
3.2. Administration Fee. In order to compensate the Bank for its
administration of the Revolving Credit Loan, the Borrower and/or the LP
shall pay to the Bank, a quarterly administration fee (the "Administration
Fee") in the amount equal to the product of (a) the Commitment and (b) one
quarter of one-half percent (e.g. based on a $14,000,000.00 Commitment, the
quarterly Administration Fee would be $17,500.00). The quarterly Admin-
istration Fee shall be deemed fully earned on the first day of each quarter
that any Revolving Credit Loan is in effect and shall be nonrefundable even
if all Revolving Credit Loans are paid in full during any such quarter.
The Administration Fee shall be paid in consecutive quarterly payments on
the first day of every April, July, October and January of each calendar
year during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in the event that the Obligations are paid in
full and the within Agreement is terminated by a duly authorized officer of
the Bank on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Administration Fee due
and owing for the last quarterly period covered by the Agreement that is
less than a full quarterly period shall be prorated for the number of days
of the subject quarter on a quarterly per diem basis.
3.3. L/C Fee. (a) The Borrower and/or the LP shall pay to the Bank
a fee (hereinafter, the "L/C Fee") with respect to the Letters of Credit
equal to two percent (2.0%) per annum of the face amount of any outstanding
Letters of Credit, the L/C Fee being determined and payable as follows:
(b) The L/C Fee shall be determined based upon a 360 day year
over actual number of days elapsed.
(c) (i) For all Letters of Credit to be issued or renewed by
the Bank (including, without limitation, for any renewal of any existing
Letters of Credit), the entire L/C Fee shall be paid in advance. (ii)
Provided there is then existing no Suspension Event or Event of Default,
for any Letter of Credit, the face amount of which is reduced, or for any
Letter of Credit returned (undrawn) to the Bank prior to the expiry date,
the Bank agrees (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to
refund (on a pro-rata basis) that portion of the L/C Fee equal to: (x) the
difference between (A) the number of days for which the Letter of Credit
was initially issued, less (B) the number of days for which the Letter of
Credit remained outstanding prior to return or reduction, (y) divided by
the number of days of the initial term of the Letter of Credit, (z) (i) in
the event of any returned Letter of Credit, multiplied by the L/C Fee, and
(ii) in the event of a reduction of any Letter of Credit, multiplied by the
amount by which the face amount of such Letter of Credit was reduced,
divided by the original face amount of such Letter of Credit and multiplied
by the L/C Fee, provided, however, with respect to any new Letter of Credit
(other than the renewal of any Letters of Credit) returned (undrawn) to the
Bank prior to the expiry date, or reduced from the initial amount, the L/C
Fee to be paid (as provided for herein) shall not, in any event, be less
than an L/C Fee based upon an entire Letter of Credit outstanding for a six
(6) month period. (iii) Except as provided for herein, there shall be no
refund of any portion of the L/C Fee in the event of the expiration,
termination or other modification of, or drawing under, any Letter of
Credit during any month.
4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
4.1. Funds for Payments.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Bank, all payments of
principal, interest, Facility Fees, Administrative Fees, L/C Fees, closing
fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents shall be made to the Bank at its head office at 000 Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other location in the
Boston, Massachusetts area that the Bank may from time to time designate,
in each case in immediately available funds, provided, however, the payment
of principal, interest, Facility Fees, Administrative Fees, L/C Fees,
closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other
Loan Documents may be automatically debited by the Bank from the Loan
Account (or any subsequent or replacement account maintained by the
Borrower at the Bank).
(b) All payments by any of the Parties hereunder and under any of the
other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free
and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or
conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any
jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other
authority therein unless any of the Parties are compelled by law to make
such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon any
of the Parties with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents, each of the Parties will pay to the Bank,
on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such
other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be
necessary to enable the Bank to receive the same net amount which the Bank
would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed
upon any of the Parties. Each of the Parties will deliver promptly to the
Bank certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges
deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower
hereunder or under such other Loan Document. Except as otherwise provided
for in the within Agreement, nothing contained in the within Section shall
be deemed to impose any liability or obligation upon the Parties for the
payment of any such obligation incurred by the Bank for ordinary income
taxes generally paid by the Bank on account of the Bank's income or profit.
4.2. Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans, the
Facility Fees, L/C Fees and Administration Fees to the extent applicable
shall be based on a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed. Except
as otherwise provided in the definition of the term "Interest Period" with
respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The
outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the Revolving Credit Note
Record from time to time shall be considered correct and binding on the
Borrower and/or the LP unless within thirty (30) Business Days after
receipt of any notice by the Borrower or the LP of such outstanding amount,
the Borrower or the LP shall notify the Bank to the contrary. The Bank
will endeavor to furnish the Borrower or the LP with notice of any
discrepancy or inconsistency between the Bank's records and information
furnished by the Borrower or the LP to the Bank provided, however, the Bank
shall be under no obligation to furnish the Borrower or the LP with notice
of any such inconsistency or discrepancy and shall have no liability on
account of its failure to furnish such notice to the Borrower or the LP.
4.3. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event, prior to
the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurodollar Rate
Loan, the Bank shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not
exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate that would otherwise determine
the rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan during
any Interest Period, the Bank shall forthwith give notice of such
determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and
the LP) to the Borrower and the LP. In such event (a) any Loan Request
with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and
shall be deemed a request for Domestic Rate Loans, (b) each Eurodollar Rate
Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period thereof, become a Domestic Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the
Bank to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Bank
determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, whereupon the Bank shall so notify the Borrower and the LP.
4.4. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any
present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the
interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for the Bank
to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Bank shall forthwith give
notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the LP and thereupon (a)
the commitment of the Bank to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert Loans
of another Type to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and
(b) the Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted auto-
matically to Domestic Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans or within such earlier period as
may be required by law. The Borrower and the LP each hereby agrees to pay
the Bank, upon receipt of the Certificate (or any subsequent Certificates)
provided for in 4.8, herein, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
the Bank for any costs incurred by the Bank in making any conversion in
accordance with this 4.4, including any interest or fees payable by the
Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its
Eurodollar Loans hereunder.
4.5. Additional Costs, Etc. If any present or future applicable law,
which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations
thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any
governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the
administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives,
instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made
upon or otherwise issued to the Bank by any central bank or other fiscal,
monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law),
shall:
(a) subject the Bank to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge,
fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the Commitment or the Loans (other than taxes
based upon or measured by the income or profits of the Bank), or
(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes
in taxes on income or profits) of payments to the Bank of the principal of
or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to the Bank under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the
extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special
deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar
requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held
by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an
office of the Bank, or
(d) impose on the Bank any other conditions or requirements with
respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, the
Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans
or the Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the foregoing is
(i) to increase the cost to the Bank of making, funding,
issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or the
Commitment, or
(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other
amount payable to the Bank hereunder on account of the Commitment or
any of the Loans, or
(iii) to require the Bank to make any payment or to
forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of
which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by
reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received
by the Bank from the Borrower hereunder,
then, and in each such case, upon receipt of the Certificate (or any
subsequent Certificates) provided for in 4.8, herein, the Borrower and the
LP each will, from time to time, pay to the Bank such additional amounts
set forth in the Certificate, which will be sufficient to compensate the
Bank for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or
other sum.
4.6. Capital Adequacy. If any present or future law, governmental
rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental
authority with appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by the Bank or any corporation
controlling the Bank and the Bank determines that the amount of capital
required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence

of Revolving Credit Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period
relating thereto, the Borrower and/or the LP shall, upon its receipt of the
Certificate (or any subsequent Certificates) provided for in 4.8, pay to
the Bank any amounts required to compensate the Bank for any losses, costs
or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or

Such compensation, and any additional compensation provided for in the Note

(i) First, the Bank shall determine the amount by which (A)
the total amount of interest which would have otherwise accrued
hereunder on each installment of principal so paid or not borrowed,
during the period beginning on the date of such payment or failure to
borrow (after having been given proper notice with a Loan Request or
Conversion Request and ending on the date such installment would have
been due (the "Reemployment Period"), exceeds (B) the total amount of
interest which would accrue, during the Reemployment Period, on any
readily marketable bond or other obligation of the United States of
America designated by the Bank in its sole discretion at or about the
time of such payment, such bond or other obligation of the United
States of America to be in an amount equal (as nearly as may be) to
the amount of principal so paid or not borrowed and to have a maturity
comparable to the Reemployment Period, and the -interest to accrue
thereon to take account of amortization of any discount from par or
accretion of premium above par at which the same is selling at the
time of designation. Each such amount is hereafter referred to as an
"Installment Amount".
(ii) Second, each Installment Amount shall be treated as
payable as of the date on which the related principal installment
would have been payable by the Borrower or the LP, as applicable, had
such principal installment not been prepaid or not borrowed.
(iii) Third, the amount to be paid on each such date
shall be the present value of the Installment Amount determined by
discounting the amount thereof from the date on which such Installment
Amount is to be treated as payable, at the same annual interest rate
as that payable upon the bond or other obligation of the United States
of America designated as aforesaid by the Bank.

full (after as well as before judgment).
4.10. Late Charge. Without derogating from the right of Bank to
accelerate the maturity of the Obligations upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, if any payment due hereunder is not received by Bank within

Property Company or MCOP Limited Partners, Inc. from that existing as of
the date hereof.
12.2 Termination of Commitment. If any one or more Events of Default
specified in 12(f) or 12(g) shall occur, any unused portion of the credit
hereunder shall forthwith terminate and the Bank shall be relieved of all
obligations to make Loans to the Borrower and the LP. If any other Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if on any Drawdown
Date the conditions precedent to the making of the Loans to be made on such
Drawdown Date are not satisfied, the Bank may by notice to the Borrower and
the LP, terminate the unused portion of the credit hereunder, and upon such
notice being given such unused portion of the credit hereunder shall
terminate immediately and the Bank shall be relieved of all further
obligations to make Loans. So long as there continues to remain
outstanding Loans, no termination of the credit hereunder shall relieve any
of the Parties of any of the Obligations or any of its existing obligations
to the Bank arising under other agreements or instruments.
12.3 Remedies. (a) In case any one or more of the Events of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable grace period
uncured, and whether or not the Bank shall have accelerated the maturity of
the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to 12.1, the Bank, if owed any amount
with respect to the Loans, may proceed to protect and enforce its rights
and remedies under this Agreement, the Security Documents, the Note, the
Collateral Note, or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity,
action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the
Security Documents and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant
to which the Obligations are evidenced, including to the full extent
permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a
receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or
otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or
equitable right of the Bank, including, without limitation, the forwarding
of the Notification Letters to the Note Obligors. No remedy herein con-
ferred upon the Bank or the holder of any Note and/or Collateral Note is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
any other provision of law.
(b) In addition to the remedies provided for herein in
subsection (a), above, upon the occurrence of a Suspension Event or an
Event of Default, the Bank may hold any Collateral (or any cash proceeds
derived therefrom) and retain same as collateral security for the payment
and performance of any outstanding Letters of Credit.
12.4 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that,
following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Suspension Event
or Event of Default, the Bank receives any monies in connection with the
enforcement of any of the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to
the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be
distributed for application as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the
reimbursement of the Bank for or in respect of all reasonable costs,
expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or
sustained by the Bank in connection with the collection of such monies by
the Bank, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Bank of all or
any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Bank under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collat-
eral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Bank
against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority
over the rights of the Bank to such monies;
(b) Second, to all other Obligations in such order or preference
as the Bank may determine; provided, however, that the Bank may in its
discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not
then due and payable;
(c) Third, upon payment and satisfaction in full or other
provisions for payment in full satisfaction to the Bank of all of the
Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant
to 9-504(1)(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts; and
(d) Fourth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the
Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
13. SETOFF. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific,
time or demand, provisional or final), regardless of currency, maturity, or
the branch of the Bank where such deposits are held, or other sums credited
by or due from the Bank to any of the Parties and any securities or other
property of any of the Parties in the possession of the Bank may be applied
to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other
liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become
due, now existing or hereafter arising, of any of the Parties to the Bank.
14. EXPENSES. Except as otherwise provided for herein, and (where
applicable), upon presentation of the Certificate provided for in 4.8,

appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by the
Bank in connection with any such enforcement proceedings incurred by the
Bank in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights
under any of the Loan Documents against any of the Parties, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or the administration thereof, and (ii) any litiga-
tion, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any
way related to the Bank's relationship with any of the Parties, or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, unless, in either instance, the Bank is not
the successful party under any such enforcement proceedings, and (f) all
reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Bank incurred in connec-
tion with UCC searches, UCC filings or mortgage recordings. The covenants
of this 14 shall survive payment or satisfaction of payment of amounts

hold harmless the Bank from and against any and all claims, actions and

transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any
actual or proposed use by any of the Parties, or any of their respective

fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel
incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other
proceeding. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Bank shall be
entitled to select its own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing
indemnity, each of the Parties agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations
of each of the Parties under this 15 are unenforceable for any reason, each
of the Parties hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment
in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable
law. The provisions of this 15 shall survive the repayment of the Loan and

Bank agrees to consider, from time to time, the release of its lien against
portions of the Collateral not included in the determination of Borrower
Availability or LP Availability. Any such release shall not require the
payment of any consideration in connection therewith. Nothing contained
herein shall constitute the Bank's legal obligation to so release its liens
and any determination to release Collateral shall be in the Bank's sole and
absolute discretion; rather the foregoing is intended to reflect the Bank's
willingness to consider such a request in good faith and not to
unreasonably withhold its consent to any such request.
