THE FACILITY
2.1 The Facility.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower and
General Partner contained herein, Lenders agree, severally and not
jointly, to make Advances through the Administrative Agent to Borrower
from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, provided that the making
of any such Advance will not cause the then Allocated Facility Amount
to exceed the then-current Aggregate Commitment. The Advances may be
ratable Adjusted Prime Rate Advances, ratable LIBOR Advances, non-pro
rata Swingline Loans or non-pro rata Competitive Bid Loans. Except as
provided in Sections 2.15 and 2.16 hereof, each Lender shall fund its
Percentage of each such Advance and no Lender will be required to fund
any amounts which when aggregated with such Lender's Percentage of (i)
all other Advances (other than Competitive Bid Loans) then outstanding,
(ii) all Swingline Advances and (iii) all Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations would exceed such Lender's then-current Commitment. This
facility ("Facility") is a revolving credit facility and, subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances
hereunder, repay such Advances and reborrow Advances at any time prior
to the Maturity Date.
(b) The Facility created by this Agreement, and that Commitment
of each Lender to lend hereunder, shall terminate on the Maturity Date,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) In no event shall the Aggregate Commitment exceed Four Hundred
Million Dollars ($400,000,000).

shall be paid in full on the last day of the applicable Interest Period as
described in Section 2.16 below. The Maturity Date can be extended for extension
periods of one year each upon notice to the Administrative Agent not later than
the date which is two years prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the first
such extension of the Maturity Date and not later than each anniversary of such
date thereafter for each subsequent extension of the Maturity Date (each an
"Extension Notice"), if (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing at the
time of such notice and at the time of the then applicable Maturity Date, (ii)
all of the Lenders agree to such extension, (iii) all prior extensions have been
elected by the Borrower and accepted by the Lenders, and (iv) the Borrower pays,
on the first business day of such extension period, an extension fee to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender equal to (i) if such Lender
was a party to this Agreement as of the Agreement Execution Date, one-third
(1/3) of the upfront fee (expressed as a percentage) paid to such Lender
pursuant to the amount of such Lender's Commitment on that date, as applied to
the Commitment of such Lender that will be in effect during such extension or
(ii) if such Lender first became a Lender after the Agreement Execution Date,
one-third (1/3) of the upfront fee that would have been paid to such Lender
pursuant to such Lender's Commitment if such Lender had been a party to this
Agreement as of the Agreement Execution Date and had committed to and been
allocated a Commitment equal to the Commitment of such Lender that will be in
effect during such extension. The upfront fees paid to each Lender pursuant to
this Agreement are as set forth in Schedule 2.2. If the Borrower gives an
Extension Notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders within 10 days of receipt of such request. The Lenders shall
have 30 days after receipt by each such Lender of an Extension Notice to notify
Administrative Agent as to whether they accept or reject such extension request
and Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders promptly
thereafter of the acceptance or rejection of the Lenders of Borrower's request
to extend the Maturity Date. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied other
than the condition requiring the consent of all Lenders, then Borrower shall
have the right to replace any Lender that does not agree to the extension
provided that Borrower notifies such Lender that it has elected to replace such
Lender and notifies such Lender and the Administrative Agent of the identity of
the proposed replacement Lender no later than the date six (6) months after the
date of the applicable Extension Notice. The Lender being replaced shall assign
its Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and its rights and obligations under
this Facility to the replacement Lender in accordance with the requirements of
Section 13.3 hereof and the replacement Lender shall assume such Percentage of
the Aggregate Commitment and the related obligations under this Facility prior
to the Maturity Date to be extended, all pursuant to an assignment and
assumption agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto. The purchase
by the replacement Lender shall be at par (plus all accrued and unpaid interest
and any other sums owed to such Lender being replaced hereunder) which shall be
paid to the Lender being replaced upon the execution and delivery of the
assignment.
2.3 Requests for Advances; Responsibility for Advances. Ratable
Advances shall be made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent in

outstanding at any time (other than Competitive Bid Loans) shall be evidenced by
the Notes. Each Note executed by the Borrower shall be in a maximum principal
amount equal to each Lender's Percentage of the current Aggregate Commitment.
Each Lender shall record Advances and principal payments thereof on the schedule
attached to its Note or, at its option, in its records, and each Lender's record
thereof shall be conclusive absent Borrower furnishing to such Lender conclusive
and irrefutable evidence of an error made by such Lender with respect to that
Lender's records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to make, or an
error in making, a notation with respect to any Advance shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Notes to pay
the amount actually owed by Borrower to Lenders.
2.5 Ratable and Non-Pro Rata Loans. Each Advance hereunder shall
consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their
Percentages, except for Swingline Loans which shall be made by the Swingline
Lender in accordance with Section 2.15 and Competitive Bid Loans which may be
made on a non-pro rata basis by one or more of the Lenders in accordance with
Section 2.16. The ratable Advances may be Adjusted Prime Rate Advances, LIBOR
Advances or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with
Sections 2.9 and 2.10.
2.6 Applicable Margins. The Prime Applicable Margin and the LIBOR
Applicable Margin to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to
different types of Advances shall vary from time to time in accordance with the
ratings for Borrower's or General Partner's long-term, senior unsecured debt as
follows:
Rating Period:
- ---------------------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------

Rating Level of Lower of Two Highest Applicable Margin Applicable
Ratings* Facility Fee Margin
- ---------------------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------
A-/A3 0.65% 0.15% 0

- ---------------------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------
Below BBB- or Baa3 1.25% 0.30% 0.25%
- ---------------------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------
* The letter categories used above are established by reference to S&P
and Moody's categories, respectively. At least one of S&P or Moody's
ratings must always be included in the two ratings used.
All margins and fees change as and when the applicable rating level
changes. In the event an agency issues different ratings for the Borrower and
the General Partner, then the higher rating of the two entities shall be deemed
to be the rating from such agency.

(a) The Borrower shall pay the fee due to the Administrative Agent
in connection with Competitive Bid Loans as described in Section 2.16.

Fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears.
2.8 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each LIBOR Advance shall be in the
minimum amount of $2,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess

$1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), provided,
however, that any Adjusted Prime Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused
Aggregate Commitment.

(a) The outstanding principal balance under the Notes shall bear
interest from time to time at a rate per annum equal to:
(i) the Adjusted Prime Rate; or

effective date of any termination in full of the Aggregate Commitment
under Section 2.17. Interest shall not be payable for the day of any
payment on the amount paid if payment is received by Administrative
Agent prior to noon (Chicago time). If any payment of principal or
interest under the Notes shall become due on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and, in the case of a payment of principal, such extension
of time shall be included in computing interest due in connection with
such payment; provided that for purposes of Section 10.1 hereof, any
payments of principal described in this sentence shall be considered to
be "due" on such next succeeding Business Day.

22
11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (i) at least one Business Day prior to an
Adjusted Prime Rate Advance, (ii) at least three (3) Business Days
prior to a ratable LIBOR Advance, and (iii) not later than 11:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) on the Borrowing Date for each Swingline Loan,

Interest Period applicable thereto.
The Borrower shall also deliver together with each Borrowing Notice the
compliance certificate required in Section 5.2 and otherwise comply with the
conditions set forth in Section 5.2 for Advances. Administrative Agent shall

(b) Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable after
receipt of a Borrowing Notice, determine the Adjusted LIBOR Rate
applicable to the requested ratable LIBOR Advance and inform Borrower
and Lenders of the same. Each determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate
by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower
in the absence of manifest error.
(c) If Borrower shall prepay a LIBOR Advance other than on the
last day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower
shall be responsible to pay all amounts due to Lenders as required by
Section 4.4 hereof. The Lenders shall not be obligated to match fund

ratable LIBOR Advance, the interest rate on the LIBOR Advance will

set forth in Section 2.10(g).
(e) The right of Borrower to select the Adjusted LIBOR Rate
for an Advance pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the
availability to Lenders of a similar option. If Administrative Agent
determines that (i) deposits of Dollars in an amount approximately
equal to the LIBOR Advance for which the Borrower wishes to select the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate are not generally available at such time in the
London interbank eurodollar market, or (ii) the rate at which the
deposits described in subsection (i) herein are being
-22-
23
offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the costs to Lenders of
maintaining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate on an Advance or of funding the
same in such market for such LIBOR Interest Period, or (iii)
reasonable means do not exist for determining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate,
or (iv) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum
interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then in any of such
events, Administrative Agent shall so notify Borrower and Lenders and
such Advance shall bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate.
(f) In no event may Borrower elect a LIBOR Interest Period
which would extend beyond the Maturity Date. Unless Lenders agree
thereto, in no event may Borrower have more than ten (10) different
LIBOR Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances outstanding at any one time.
(g) Conversion and Continuation.
(i) Borrower may elect from time to time, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 2.10, to convert all
or any part of a ratable Advance into any other type of
Advance; provided that any conversion of a ratable LIBOR
Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the
LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.
(ii) Adjusted Prime Rate Advances shall continue as
Adjusted Prime Rate Advances unless and until such Adjusted
Prime Rate Advances are converted into ratable LIBOR Advances
pursuant to a Conversion/Continuation Notice from Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.10(g)(iv). Ratable LIBOR Advances
shall continue until the end of the then applicable LIBOR
Interest Period therefor, at which time each such Advance
shall be automatically converted into an Adjusted Prime Rate
Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the
Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice in
accordance with Section 2.10(g)(iv) requesting that, at the
end of such LIBOR Interest Period, such Advance either
continue as an Advance of such type for the same or another
LIBOR Interest Period.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Sections 2.10(g)(i) or (g)(ii), no Advance may be
converted into a LIBOR Advance or continued as a LIBOR Advance
(except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any
Monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
(iv) The Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice")
of each conversion of an Advance or continuation of a LIBOR
Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of the requested
conversion, in the case of a conversion into an Adjusted Prime
Rate Advance, or 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or
continuation, in the case of a conversion into or continuation
of a ratable LIBOR Advance, specifying: (1) the requested date
(which shall be a
-23-
24
Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (2) the
amount and type of the Advance to be converted or continued;
and (3) the amounts and type(s) of Advance(s) into which
such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the
case of a conversion into or continuation of a ratable LIBOR
Advance, the duration of the LIBOR Interest Period
applicable thereto.

or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by Administrative
Agent from such Lender. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the
account of Borrower maintained with Bank One for each payment of principal,
interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.
2.12 Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of
a Monetary Default or an Event of Default, Borrower shall not have the right to
request a LIBOR Advance, request a Competitive Bid Loan, select a new LIBOR
Interest Period for an existing ratable LIBOR Advance or convert any Adjusted
Prime Rate Advance to a ratable LIBOR Advance. During the continuance of a
Monetary Default or an Event of Default, at the election of the Required
Lenders, by notice to Borrower, outstanding Advances shall bear interest at the
applicable Default Rates until such Monetary Default or Event of Default ceases
to exist or the Obligations are paid in full.
2.13 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Advances at any
Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending
Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any
such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for
the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex
notice to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, designate a Lending
Installation through which Advances will be made by it and for whose account
payments are to be made.
2.14 Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless Borrower or a
Lender, as the case may be, notifies Administrative Agent prior to the date on
which it is scheduled to make payment to Administrative Agent of (i) in the case
of a Lender, an Advance, or (ii) in the case of Borrower, a payment of
principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, Administrative Agent may
assume that such payment has been made. Administrative Agent may, but shall not
be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended
recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the
case may be, has not in fact made such payment to Administrative Agent, the
recipient of such payment shall, on demand by Administrative Agent, repay to
Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon
in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was
so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent
recovers such
-24-
25
amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate (as determined by Administrative Agent) for such
day or (ii) in the case of payment by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
the relevant Advance.
2.15 Swingline Loans. In addition to the other options available to
Borrower hereunder, the Swingline Commitment shall be available for Swingline
Loans subject to the following terms and conditions. Swingline Loans shall be
made available for same day borrowings provided that notice is given in
accordance with Section 2.10 hereof. All Swingline Loans shall bear interest at
the Adjusted Prime Rate and shall be deemed to be Adjusted Prime Rate Advances.
In no event shall the Swingline Lender be required to fund a Swingline Loan if
it would increase the total aggregate outstanding Loans by Swingline Lender
hereunder plus its Percentage of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations to an
amount in excess of its Commitment. Upon request of the Swingline Lender made to
all the Lenders, each Lender irrevocably agrees to purchase its Percentage of
any Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender regardless of whether the
conditions for disbursement are satisfied at the time of such purchase,
including the existence of an Event of Default hereunder provided no Lender
shall be required to have total outstanding Loans (other than Competitive Bid
Loans) plus its Percentage of Facility Letters of Credit to be in an amount
greater than its Commitment. Such purchase shall take place on the date of the
request by Swingline Lender so long as such request is made by noon (Chicago
time), otherwise on the Business Day following such request. All requests for
purchase shall be in writing. From and after the date it is so purchased, each
such Swingline Loan shall, to the extent purchased, (i) be treated as a Loan
made by the purchasing Lenders and not by the selling Lender for all purposes
under this Agreement and the payment of the purchase price by a Lender shall be
deemed to be the making of a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute
outstanding principal under such Lender's Note, and (ii) shall no longer be
considered a Swingline Loan except that all interest accruing on or attributable
to such Swingline Loan for the period prior to the date of such purchase shall
be paid when due by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Swingline Lender and all such amounts accruing on or attributable to such
Loans for the period from and after the date of such purchase shall be paid when
due by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
purchasing Lenders. If prior to purchasing its Percentage of a Swingline Loan
one of the events described in Section 10.10 shall have occurred and such event
prevents the consummation of the purchase contemplated by preceding provisions,
each Lender will purchase an undivided participating interest in the outstanding
Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Swingline Loan. From
and after the date of each Lender's purchase of its participating interest in a
Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof,
the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest
in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest was
outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment
was received by the Swingline Lender and is required to be returned to the
Borrower, each Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof
previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it. If any Lender fails to so
purchase its Percentage of any Swingline Loan, such Lender shall be deemed to be
a Defaulting Lender hereunder. No Swingline Loan shall be outstanding for more
than five (5) days at a time and Swingline Loans shall not be outstanding for
more than a total of ten (10) days during any month.
2.16 Competitive Bid Loans.
-25-
26
(a) Competitive Bid Option. In addition to ratable Advances
pursuant to Section 2.5, but subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation the limitation set forth
in Section 2.1(a) as to the maximum Allocated Facility Amount), the
Borrower may, as set forth in this Section 2.16, but only during a
Rating Period, request the Lenders, prior to the Maturity Date, to make
offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower. Each Lender may,
but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may,
but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner
set forth in this Section 2.16. Competitive Bid Loans shall be
evidenced by the Competitive Bid Notes.
(b) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Borrower wishes to
request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section 2.16,
it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by telecopy a Competitive
Bid Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto so as
to be received no later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least
five Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the
case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 9:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) at least one Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date
proposed therein, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate
specifying:
(i) the proposed Borrowing Date for the proposed
Competitive Bid Loan,
(ii) the requested aggregate principal amount of
such Competitive Bid Loan,
(iii) whether the Competitive Bid Quotes requested
are to set forth a Competitive LIBOR Margin or an Absolute
Rate, or both, and
(iv) the LIBOR Interest Period, if a Competitive
LIBOR Margin is requested, or the Absolute Interest Period, if
an Absolute Rate is requested.
The Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more than one
Interest Period (but not more than five Interest Periods) in a single
Competitive Bid Quote Request. No Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be given
within five Business Days (or such other number of days as the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent may agree) of any other Competitive Bid Quote Request. A
Competitive Bid Quote Request that does not conform substantially to the form of
Exhibit C-1 hereto shall be rejected, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower of such rejection by telecopy.
(c) Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly and in any
event before the close of business on the same Business Day of receipt
of a Competitive Bid Quote Request that is not rejected pursuant to
Section 2.16(b), the Administrative Agent shall send to each of the
Lenders by telecopy an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto, which shall constitute
an invitation by the Borrower to each Lender to submit Competitive Bid
Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such
Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section
2.16.
-26-
27
(d) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid Quotes.
(i) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion,
submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers
to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation
for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive Bid Quote must
comply with the requirements of this Section 2.16(d) and must
be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telex or telecopy
at its offices not later than (a) 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at
least four Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date,
in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (b)
9:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in
the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case
upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time
and rate as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may
agree); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by Bank
One may only be submitted if the Administrative Agent or Bank
One notifies the Borrower of the terms of the Offer or Offers
contained therein no later than 30 minutes prior to the latest
time at which the relevant Competitive Bid Quotes must be
submitted by the other Lenders. Subject to the Borrower's
compliance with all other conditions to disbursement herein,
any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except
with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on
the instructions of the Borrower.
(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in
substantially the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto and shall in any
case specify:
(e) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as
that set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes,
(f) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which
each such offer is being made, which principal amount (1) may be
greater than, less than or equal to the Commitment of the quoting
Lender, (2) must be at least $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000, and (3) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive
Bid Loans for which offers are requested,
(g) as applicable, the Competitive LIBOR Margin and Absolute
Rate offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan,
(h) the minimum amount, if any, of the Competitive Bid Loan
which may be accepted by the Borrower, and
(i) the identity of the quoting Lender, provided that such
Competitive Bid Loan may be funded by such Lender's Designated Lender
as provided in Section 2.16(j), regardless of whether that is specified
in the Competitive Bid Quote.
(iii) The Administrative Agent shall reject any
Competitive Bid Quote that:
(j) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto or
does not specify all of the information required by Section
2.16(d)(ii),
-27-
28
(k) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language,
other than any such language contained in Exhibit C-3 hereto,
(l) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set
forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, or
(m) arrives after the time set forth in Section 2.16(d)(i).
If any Competitive Bid Quote shall be rejected pursuant to
this Section 2.16(d)(iii), then the Administrative Agent shall
notify the relevant Lender of such rejection as soon as
practical.
(n) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid
Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.16(d)
and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is
otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted
by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request.
Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the
Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote
specifically states that it is submitted solely to correct a manifest
error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent's
notice to the Borrower shall specify the aggregate principal amount of
Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each
Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request
and the respective principal amounts and Competitive LIBOR Margins or
Absolute Rate, as the case may be, so offered.
(o) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (i) 6:00
p.m. (Chicago time) at least four Business Days prior to the proposed
Borrowing Date in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin
or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in
the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon
reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the
offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.16(e); provided,
however, that the failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection of all such
offers. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a "Competitive Bid
Borrowing Notice") shall specify the aggregate principal amount of
offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may
accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the
terms of Section 2.16(d)(iii)); provided that:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of all
Competitive Bid Loans to be disbursed on a given Borrowing
Date may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the
related Competitive Bid Quote Request,
(ii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the
basis of ascending Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute
Rates, as the case may be, and
-28-
29
(iii) the Borrower may not accept any offer that
is described in Section 2.16(d)(iii) or that otherwise fails
to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.
(p) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by
two or more Lenders with the same Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute
Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount
than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related
Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in
respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the
Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such
multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may
deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of
such offers provided, however, that no Lender shall be allocated any
Competitive Bid Loan which is less than the minimum amount which such
Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept. Allocations by the
Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly, but in any event on the same Business Day, notify each
Lender of its receipt of a Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice and the
principal amounts of the Competitive Bid Loans allocated to each
participating Lender.
(q) Administration Fee. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent an administration fee of $2,500 per each
Competitive Bid Quote Request transmitted by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.16(b). Such administration
fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of
each month and on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the
Aggregate Commitment shall terminate or be cancelled) for any period
then ending for which such fee, if any, shall not have been theretofore
paid.
(i) Other Terms. Any Competitive Bid Loan shall not reduce the
Commitment of the Bid Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan (except as the
availability of other Advances is reduced by the increase in the Allocated
Facility Amount due to such Competitive Bid Loan) and each such Bid Lender shall
continue to be obligated to fund its full percentage of all pro rata Advances
under the Facility. In no event can the aggregate amount of all Competitive Bid
Loans at any time exceed the lesser of (i) 50% of the then Aggregate Commitment,
or (ii) Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00). Competitive Bid Loans may
not be continued and, if not repaid at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, shall (subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) be
replaced by new Competitive Bid Loans made in accordance with this Section 2.16
or by ratable Advances in accordance with Section 2.10.
(r) Designated Lenders. A Lender may designate its Designated
Lender to fund a Competitive Bid Loan on its behalf as described in
Section 2.16(d)(ii)(e). Any Designated Lender which funds a Competitive
Bid Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee
under such Competitive Bid Loan and be entitled to receive payment
thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund
a Competitive Bid Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such
obligation, prior to the time such Competitive Bid Loan is funded.
-29-
30
2.17 Voluntary Reduction of Aggregate Commitment Amount. Upon at least
five (5) days prior irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent, Borrower shall have the
right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the Aggregate Commitment in
whole or in part provided that (a) Borrower may not reduce the Aggregate
Commitment below the Allocated Facility Amount at the time of such requested
reduction, and (b) any such partial termination shall be in the minimum
aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000.00) or any integral
multiple of Five Million Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000.00) in excess thereof. Any
partial termination of the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied pro rata to
each Lender's Commitment.
2.18 Increase in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower shall also have the
right from time to time to increase the Aggregate Commitment up to a maximum of
$400,000,000 by either adding new banks as Lenders (subject to the
Administrative Agent's prior written approval of the identity of such new banks)
or obtaining the agreement, which shall be at such Lender's or Lenders' sole
discretion, of one or more of the then current Lenders to increase its or their
Commitments. Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of
an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new bank or existing Lender providing
such additional Commitment, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by
the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. On the effective date
of each such increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall cause the new or existing Lenders providing such
increase, by either funding more than its or their Percentage of new ratable
Advances made on such date or purchasing shares of outstanding ratable Loans
held by the other Lenders or a combination thereof, to hold its or their
Percentage of all ratable Advances outstanding at the close of business on such
day. The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of
outstanding ratable Advances to achieve such result. In no event will such new
or existing Lenders providing the increase be required to fund or purchase a
portion of any Competitive Bid Loan or Swingline Loan to comply with this
Section on such date. In no event shall the Aggregate Commitment exceed
$400,000,000 without the approval of all of the Lenders.
2.19 Application of Moneys Received. All moneys collected or received
by the Administrative Agent on account of the Facility directly or indirectly,
shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(i) to the payment of all reasonable costs
incurred in the collection of such moneys of which the
Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Borrower;
(ii) to the reimbursement of any yield protection
due to any of the Lenders in accordance with Section 4.1;
(iii) first to the payment of any fee due pursuant
to Section 3.8(b) in connection with the issuance of a
Facility Letter of Credit to the Issuing Bank until such fee
is paid in full, then next to the payment of the Facility Fee
and Facility Letter of Credit Fee to the Lenders, if then due,
in that order on a pro rata
-30-
31
basis in accordance with the respective amounts of such fees
due to the Lenders and then finally to the payment of all
fees then due to the Administrative Agent;
(iv) to payment of the full amount of interest and
principal on the Swingline Loans;
(v) first to interest until paid in full and then
to principal for all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders)
(i) as allocated by the Borrower (unless an Event of Default
exists) between Competitive Bid Loans and ratable Advances
(the amount allocated to ratable Advances to be distributed in
accordance with the Percentages of the Lenders) or (ii) if an
Event of Default exists, in accordance with the respective
Funded Percentages of the Lenders;
(vi) any other sums due to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and
(vii) to the payment of any sums due to each
Defaulting Lender as their respective Percentages appear
(provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to
set-off against such sums any amounts due from such Defaulting
Lender).
2.20 Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five Business Days prior to
the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account
of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to each of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of an
appropriate United States Internal Revenue Service form, certifying that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each
Lender which so delivers a form further undertakes to deliver to each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two additional copies of such form (or a
successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete
or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms
so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals
thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments
under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without
limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving
payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income
tax.

control) and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form and content;
(ii) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree
of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its
terms to enjoin or restrain the

Letter of Credit in particular; and
(iii) there shall not exist any Default or Event of Default.
3.4 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.
(a) Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days' prior written
notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under
this Agreement (a "Letter of Credit Request"), a copy of which shall be
sent immediately to all Lenders (except that, in lieu of such written
notice, the Borrower may give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent telephonic notice of such request if confirmed in writing by
delivery to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (i)
immediately (A) of a telecopy of the written notice required hereunder
which has been signed by an authorized officer, or (B) of a telex
containing all information required to be contained in such written
notice and (ii) promptly (but in no event later than the requested date
of issuance) of the written notice required hereunder containing the
original signature of an authorized officer); such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify:
(1) whether the requested Facility Letter of Credit is, in
Borrower's belief, a Financial Letter of Credit or a
Performance Letter of Credit;
(2) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested
(which stated amount shall not be less than $50,000);

to expire;
(5) the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be
issued;
(6) the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of
Credit is to be issued; and
(7) any special language required to be included in the Facility

notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the last
Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section 3.4(a).
-33-
34
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III
and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Article V
hereof have been satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance
Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in
accordance with the Letter of Credit Request and the Issuing Bank's
usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Bank has
actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower specifically
revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility
Letter of Credit, (ii) written notice from a Lender, which complies
with the provisions of Section 3.6(a), or (iii) written or telephonic
notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the issuance of such
Facility Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.2.
(c) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent (who
shall promptly notify Lenders) and the Borrower written or telex
notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing,
of the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit (the "Issuance Notice"),
which shall indicate the Issuing Bank's reasonable determination as to
whether such Facility Letter of Credit is a Financial Letter of Credit
or a Performance Letter of Credit, which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility
Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 3.4 are met as
though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.
3.5 Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.
(a) The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) of any
draw under a Facility Letter of Credit. Any such draw shall constitute
an Advance of the Facility in the amount of the Reimbursement
Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and shall
bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the
pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at a rate selected by Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.10 hereof; provided that if a Monetary
Default or an Event of Default exists at the time of any such
drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for
drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank
no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the
Issuing Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear
interest at the Default Rate.
(b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing
Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if
taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross
negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting
liability to any Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has
complied with the procedures specified in Section 3.4 and such Lender
has not given a notice contemplated by Section 3.6(a) that continues in
full force and effect, relieve that Lender of its obligations hereunder
to the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to
the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be
delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in
compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit.
-34-
35
3.6 Participation.
(a) Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any
Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 3.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without
recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation equal to such Lender's Percentage in such Facility Letter
of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the
Borrower with respect thereto) and all related rights hereunder and
under the Guaranty and other Loan Documents; provided that a Letter of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to be a Facility
Letter of Credit for purposes of this Section 3.6 if the Issuing Bank
shall have received written notice from any Lender on or before the
Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of such Letter of Credit
that one or more of the conditions contained in Section 5.2 is not then
satisfied, and in the event the Issuing Bank receives such a notice it
shall have no further obligation to issue any Facility Letter of Credit
until such notice is withdrawn by that Lender or the Issuing Bank
receives a notice from the Administrative Agent that such condition has
been effectively waived in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. Each Lender's obligation to make further Loans to Borrower
(other than any payments such Lender is required to make under
subparagraph (b) below) or to purchase an interest from the Issuing
Bank in any subsequent letters of credit issued by the Issuing Bank on
behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such Lender's Percentage of the
undrawn portion of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.
(b) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under
any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid
such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, the
Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which
shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender
shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender's Percentage
of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank. Lender's
payments of its Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation as
aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Loan by such Lender and shall
constitute outstanding principal under such Lender's Note. The failure
of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount
of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed
amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make
available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the
unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be
made. Any Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to
this Section 3.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender
hereunder.
(c) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of
a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing
Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly
-35-
36
pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest
therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such
Lender's Percentage thereof.
(d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or
Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which the Issuing
Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be
requested by the Administrative Agent or Lender.
(e) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect
to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or
exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to
comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of
such Facility Letter of Credit, and such payments shall be made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances.
3.7 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for
Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the
Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit
when due, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any
other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any
of the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense
or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against
a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any
transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for
whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter
of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions
between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Facility
Letter of Credit);
(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document
presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect of
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect;
(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security
for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any
of the Loan Documents; or
(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default.
(b) In the event any payment by the Borrower received by the
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility
Letter of Credit and distributed by the
-36-
37
Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations
is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative
Agent or Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation,
reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received
such distribution shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent,
contribute such Lender's Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or
recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be
repaid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent.
3.8 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable account of the Lenders, based upon the Lenders' respective
Percentages, a per annum fee (the "Facility Letter of Credit Fee") with
respect to each Facility Letter of Credit that is equal to (i) the
LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time in the case of
Financial Letters of Credit, and (ii) the LIBOR Applicable Margin from
time to time minus 0.25% in the case of Performance Letters of Credit.
The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of
Credit shall be due and payable in arrears in equal installments on the
first Business Day of each month following the issuance of any Facility
Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and
unpaid, on the Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other
Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. The Borrower
shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the
Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and
shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the
respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent,
provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.11
hereof.
(b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive
solely for its own account an issuance fee of 0.15% of the face amount
of each Facility Letter of Credit, payable by the Borrower on the
Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank
shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and the Issuing Bank's standard charges of issuing, amending and
servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder.
3.9 Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Borrower hereby agrees
that it will, until the Maturity Date, maintain a special collateral account
(the "Letter of Credit Collateral Account") at the Administrative Agent's office
at the address specified pursuant to Article XV, in the name of the Borrower but
under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as
set forth in Section 11.1. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security
interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that
may hereafter be on deposit in such account, including income earned thereon.
The Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Borrower has no obligation to fund
the Letter of Credit Collateral Account unless and until so required under
Section 11.1 hereof.

Article IV.
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
4.1 Yield Protection. If the adoption of or change in any law or any
governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or
directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any interpretation
thereof, or the compliance of any Lender therewith,
(i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or
from payments due from Borrower (excluding federal and state
taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or applicable
Lending Installation), or changes the basis of such taxation
of payments to any Lender in respect of its Advances, its
interest in the Facility Letters of Credit or other amounts
due it hereunder, or
(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any
reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and
assessments taken into account in determining the interest
rate applicable to LIBOR Advances), or
(iii) imposes any other condition, and the result
is to increase the cost of any Lender or any applicable
Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining loans
or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation in connection with loans, or
requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to
make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of
loans held, Letters of Credit issued or participated in or
interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such
Lender,
then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay such
Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount
received which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and
maintaining its Advances and its Commitment.
4.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any
Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporate entity controlling such
Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as defined below), then, within
fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the
portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable
to this Agreement, its Advances, its interest in the Facility Letters of Credit,
or its obligation to make Advances hereunder or participate in or issue Facility
Letters of Credit hereunder (after taking into account such Lender's policies as
to capital adequacy). "Change" means (i) any change after the date of this
Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as defined below) or (ii) any
adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any
-38-
39
Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender.
"Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in
effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition
rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory
authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the
Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled
"International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards",
including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior
to the date of this Agreement. Without in any way affecting the Borrower's
obligation to pay compensation actually claimed by a Lender under this Section
4.2, the Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender which has demanded
such compensation provided that Borrower notifies such Lender that it has
elected to replace such Lender and notifies such Lender and the Administrative
Agent of the identity of the proposed replacement Lender not more than six (6)
months after the date of such Lender's most recent demand for compensation under
this Section 4.2. The Lender being replaced shall assign its Percentage of the
Aggregate Commitment and its rights and obligations under this Facility to the
replacement Lender in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.3 hereof
and the replacement Lender shall assume such Percentage of the Aggregate
Commitment and the related obligations under this Facility prior to the Maturity
Date to be extended, all pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit J hereto. The purchase by the replacement Lender shall be at
par (plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any other sums owed to such Lender
being replaced hereunder) which shall be paid to the Lender being replaced upon
the execution and delivery of the assignment.
4.3 Availability of LIBOR Advances. If any Lender determines that
maintenance of any of its LIBOR Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would
violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive of any Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall suspend by written
notice to Borrower the availability of LIBOR Advances and require any LIBOR
Advances to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of
a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Advances are not available,
the Administrative Agent shall suspend by written notice to Borrower the
availability of LIBOR Advances with respect to any LIBOR Advances made after the
date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a LIBOR
Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a LIBOR Advance, and, if
for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 4.1 are inapplicable, the
Administrative Agent shall suspend by written notice to Borrower the
availability of LIBOR Advances with respect to any LIBOR Advances made after the
date of any such determination.
4.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a ratable LIBOR Advance
or a Competitive Bid Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or
otherwise, or a ratable LIBOR Advance or a Competitive Bid Loan is not made on
the date specified by Borrower for any reason other than default by one or more
of the Lenders, Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost
incurred by such Lender resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any
loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain
the ratable LIBOR Advance or Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be.
4.5 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably
possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with
respect to its LIBOR
-39-
40
Advances to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under Sections 4.1
and 4.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a LIBOR Advance, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a
written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections
4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 hereof. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable
detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall
be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR
Advance shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Advance
through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the
deposit used as a reference in determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to
such Advance, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided
herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand
after receipt by Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of Borrower
under Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 hereof shall survive payment of the Obligations
and termination of this Agreement.

To the extent the Consolidated Operating Partnership has Defeased REMIC Debt,
both the underlying debt and interest payable thereon and the financial assets

calculations of the foregoing financial covenants.
9.9 Mergers and Dispositions. Enter into any merger, consolidation,
reorganization or liquidation or transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a
substantial portion of its properties, except for: such transactions that occur
between wholly-owned Subsidiaries; transactions where Borrower and the General

under the Loan Documents results from such transaction; or as otherwise approved
in advance by the Lenders. Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent (who
will promptly notify Lenders) of any acquisitions, dispositions, mergers or
asset purchases involving assets valued in excess of 10% of the Consolidated
Operating Partnership's then-current Market Value Net Worth and certify
compliance with covenants after giving effect to such proposed acquisition,
disposition, merger, or asset purchase regardless of whether any consent is

Partnership's total rent revenue (as annualized) as of the last day of such

arises from a merger of tenants or other causes outside of the Consolidated
Operating Partnership's control.

Article XI.
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
11.1 Acceleration.
If any Event of Default described in Section 10.10 hereof occurs, the
obligation of the Lenders to make Advances and of the Issuing Bank to issue
Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the
Obligations shall immediately become due and payable. If any other Event of
Default described in Article X hereof occurs, such obligation to make Advances
and to issue Facility Letters of Credit shall be terminated and at the election
of the Required Lenders, the Obligations may be declared to be due and payable.
In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of an Event of
Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn
and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Required
Lenders the Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account
cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding
Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may
become due with respect thereto. The Borrower shall have no control over funds
in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, which funds shall be invested by the
Administrative Agent from time to time in its discretion in certificates of
deposit of Bank One having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30) days. Such funds
shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing
Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit and
to pay any fees or other amounts due with respect thereto. Such funds, if any,
remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of
all Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the
Borrower.
-63-
64
11.2 Preservation of Rights; Amendments. No delay or omission of the
Lenders in exercising any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right
or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and
the making of an Advance notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the
inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Advance
shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise
of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the
terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid
unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the number of Lenders
required hereunder and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set
forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be
cumulative and all shall be available to the Lenders until the Obligations have
been paid in full.
Article XII.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
12.1 Appointment. Bank One is hereby appointed Administrative Agent
hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders authorizes
the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender. The Administrative
Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this
Article XII. The Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship in
respect of any Lender by reason of this Agreement, except to the extent the
Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of
funds hereunder.
12.2 Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such
powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as

action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents
to be taken by the Administrative Agent.
12.3 General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) nor any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other
Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Subject to the express terms hereof,
the Administrative Agent will, unless otherwise instructed as described in
Section 12.5, endeavor to administer the Facility in substantially the same
manner as it administers similar credit facilities held for its own account.
12.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article V,
-64-
65
except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or
(iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any
other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith.
12.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written
instructions signed by the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be,
and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. The
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all
liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing
to take any such action.
12.6 Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent
hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money
or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties
hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
12.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,

and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect
to legal matters, upon the opinion of outside counsel selected by the
Administrative Agent.
12.8 Administrative Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The
Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in
accordance with their respective Percentages (i) for any amounts not reimbursed
by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement
by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other reasonable expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection
with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the
Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower, and (iii) for any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent and not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out
of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or
the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms
thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.
12.9 Rights as a Lender. With respect to the Commitment, Advances made
by it and the Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and
may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the
term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context
-65-
66
otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt,
equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in
which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging
with any other Person.
12.10 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
12.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
12.12 Successor Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees that Bank One
shall serve as Administrative Agent at all times during the term of this
Facility, except that Bank One may resign as Administrative Agent in the event
(x) Bank One and Borrower shall mutually agree in writing or (y) an Event of
Default shall occur under the Loan Documents (irrespective of whether such Event
of Default subsequently is waived), or (z) Bank One shall determine, in its sole
reasonable discretion, that because of its other banking relationships with
Borrower and/or Borrower's Affiliates at the time of such decision Bank One's
resignation as Administrative Agent would be necessary in order to avoid
creating an appearance of impropriety on the part of Bank One. Bank One (or any
successor Administrative Agent) may be removed as Administrative Agent by
written notice received by Administrative Agent from all of the other Lenders
(i) at any time with cause (i.e., a breach by Bank One (or any successor
Administrative Agent) of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder), or (ii)
without cause if Bank One (or any successor Administrative Agent) assigns a
portion of Bank One's (or such successor Administrative Agent's) then applicable
Commitment in an amount such that following such assignment Bank One's (or such
successor Administrative Agent's) then remaining Commitment is less than the
then applicable Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Upon any such
resignation or removal, UBS shall be the successor Administrative Agent (unless
objected to by the Required Lenders) or, if UBS declines or is so objected to,
the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower
and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring
Administrative Agent's giving notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a
successor Administrative Agent. Such successor Administrative Agent shall be a
commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (including the right to receive
any fees for performing such duties
-66-
67
which accrue thereafter), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue in
effect for its benefit and that of the other Lenders in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
12.13 Notice of Defaults. If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or
Event of Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
fact. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Event of Default has
occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such
fact.
12.14 Requests for Approval. If the Administrative Agent requests in
writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and
either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent
within ten Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period,
but in no event less than five Business Days for responses based on
Administrative Agent's good faith determination that circumstances exist
warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from
the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall
be deemed to have approved the request. Upon request, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders which Lenders, if any, failed to respond to a request
for approval.
12.15 Copies of Documents. Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver
to each of the Lenders copies of all notices of default and other formal notices
sent or received and according to Section 15.1 of this Agreement. Administrative
Agent shall deliver to Lenders within 15 Business Days following receipt, copies
of all financial statements, certificates and notices received regarding the
General Partner's ratings except to the extent such items are required to be
furnished directly to the Lenders by Borrower hereunder. Within fifteen Business
Days after a request by a Lender to the Administrative Agent for other documents
furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall provide copies of such documents to such Lender except where this
Agreement obligates Administrative Agent to provide copies in a shorter period
of time.
12.16 Defaulting Lenders. At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to
the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, such Defaulting Lender or all
Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
Percentage of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender
subsequently funds its Percentage of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as
provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all
principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other
Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has
not funded its Percentage (such principal, interest and fees being referred to
as "Senior Loans" for the purposes of this section). All amounts paid by the
Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective
Percentages (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting
Lender) until all
-67-
68
Senior Loans have been paid in full. At that point, the "Defaulting Lender"
shall no longer be deemed a Defaulting Lender. After the Senior Loans have been
paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future
payments by the Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been
repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting
Lender but for the operation of this Section 12.16. This provision governs only
the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the
other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrower to
repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions
of this Section 12.16 shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a
Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its
desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting
Lender's right to vote on matters as provided above.
Article XIII.
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns.
The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of Borrower and the Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to
assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the consent of
all the Lenders and any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with
Section 13.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with
Section 13.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other
transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Administrative
Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be
bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of
any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
13.2 Participations.
13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law,
at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities
("Participants") participating interests in any Advance owing to such
Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or
any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the
event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a
Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall
remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such
Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under
the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by Borrower under this
Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participating interests, and Borrower and the Administrative Agent and
the
-68-
69
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents.
13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right
to vote its Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment, without the consent
of any Participant, for the approval or disapproval of any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided
that such Lender may grant such Participant the right to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver which forgives principal, interest or
fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable hereunder, postpones
any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of or
interest on the Obligations, or extends the Maturity Date.
13.3 Assignments.
13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, with the prior
written consent of Administrative Agent, Arranger and Borrower (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in accordance
with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other
entities (collectively, "Purchasers") either all or a portion equal to
or greater than $5,000,000 of its rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents, except that no consent of Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that no consent of
Administrative Agent, Arranger or Borrower shall ever be required for
(i) any assignment to a Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
assigning Lender or (ii) the pledge or assignment by a Lender of such
Lender's Note and other rights under the Loan Documents to any Federal
Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. Such assignments and
assumptions shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto. The
Borrower shall execute any and all documents which are customarily
required by such Lender (including, without limitation, a replacement
promissory note or notes in the forms provided hereunder) in connection
with any such assignment, but Borrower shall not be obligated to pay
any fees and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
assignment pursuant to this Section. Any Lender selling all or any part
of its rights and obligation hereunder in a transaction requiring the
consent of the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Administrative
Agent a fee of $3,500.00 per assignee to reimburse Administrative Agent
for its involvement in such assignment.
13.3.2 Effect; Effective Date of Assignment. Upon delivery to
the Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment executed by the
assigning Lender and the Purchaser, such assignment shall become
effective on the effective date specified in such notice of assignment.
The notice of assignment shall contain a representation by the
Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the
purchase of the Commitment and the Loan under the applicable assignment
agreement are "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights
and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not
be "plan assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such
assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to
this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and
shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, to the same extent as if it
-69-
70
were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by
Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to
release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the
Commitment and Advances assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the
consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section
13.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and Borrower
shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are
issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate,
replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in
principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted
pursuant to such assignment.
13.4 Dissemination of Information. Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an
interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession
concerning the creditworthiness of Borrower and General Partner. Each Transferee
shall agree in writing to keep confidential any such information which is not
publicly available.
13.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred
to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause
such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply
with Section 7(vii) of the Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit J.
Article XIV.

Agreement, Borrower will pay (a) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent and the Arranger (including the reasonable fees,

employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities
and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of

thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the
direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any
Advance hereunder, except that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to a
Lender to the extent that any losses, claims, etc. are the result of such
Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Borrower
under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
14.7 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document
that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction
shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid
without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the

COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
14.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE GENERAL PARTNER, THE

WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.
14.12 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan
Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the
Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower

principal of or interest on the Obligations or any fees

percentage of Lenders is specified herein.
14.14 Dealings with the Borrower. The Lenders and their affiliates may

property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such
Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and
on account of all outstanding Obligations and all Obligations which
from time to time may become due hereunder and all other obligations
and liabilities of the Borrower under this Agreement, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and
whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have matured.
(b) Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any
right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest or fees due

amount of principal, interest or fees due with respect to any Note held
by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater
payment shall purchase such participations in the Notes held by the
other Lenders and such other adjustments shall be made as may be

FORM OF GUARANTY
This Guaranty is made as of June 30, 2000, by First Industrial Realty
Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Guarantor"), to and for the benefit of UBS
AG, Stamford Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Bank One, NA, a national banking
association, individually ("Bank One"), and as administrative agent for itself
and the lenders listed on the signature pages of the Revolving Credit Agreement
(as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively,
"Lender").
RECITALS
A. First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Borrower"),
and Guarantor have requested that Lender make an unsecured revolving credit
facility available to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$ , subject to future increase up to $400,000,000 ("Facility").
B. Lender has agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Amended and Restated
Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement bearing even date herewith between
Borrower, the Lenders and Guarantor ("Revolving Credit Agreement"). All
capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Revolving Credit Agreement.
C. Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender one or more Promissory
Notes each of even date in the aggregate principal amount of $ as
evidence of its indebtedness to Lender with respect to the Facility (the
promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges
thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new
promissory notes to new Lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement, are
collectively referred to herein as the "Note"). Borrower has also executed and
delivered to each Lender a note ("Competitive Loan Note") which evidences any
Competitive Bid Loans which may be made by such Lender under the Revolving
Credit Agreement.
D. Guarantor is the sole general partner of Borrower and, therefore,
Guarantor will derive financial benefit from the Facility evidenced by the Note,
Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The execution and
delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor is a condition precedent to the
performance by Lender of its obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, Guarantor, in consideration of the matters described in
the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part
hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agrees as follows:
1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guarantees to
Lender:
-94-
95
(a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest
on the Note and/or any Competitive Bid Loan Note when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times
thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may
hereafter become due and owing under the Note, any Competitive Bid Loan
Note, the Revolving Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;
(b) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined
in Paragraph 7 hereof); and
(c) the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and
satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and
agreements of Borrower under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the
Loan Documents.
(d) All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations
described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred
to herein as the "Facility Indebtedness." All obligations described in
subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the
"Obligations."
2. In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the
Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in
each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Guarantor
agrees, on demand by Lender or the holder of the Note, to pay all the Facility
Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are or then or thereafter
become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Note, any
Competitive Bid Loan Note, the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to pay any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in protecting,
preserving, or defending its interest in the Property or in connection with the
Facility or under any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Lender shall have the right, at its
option, either before, during or after pursuing any other right or remedy
against Borrower or Guarantor, to perform any and all of the Obligations by or
through any agent, contractor or subcontractor, or any of their agents, of its
selection, all as Lender in its sole discretion deems proper, and Guarantor
shall indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against any and all
loss, damage, cost, expense, injury, or liability Lender may suffer or incur in
connection with the exercise of its rights under this Guaranty or the
performance of the Obligations, except to the extent the same arises as a result
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided by any of the Loan
Documents or law or equity shall be equally available to Lender, and the choice
by Lender of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question
or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall any such choice be
asserted as a defense, set-off, or failure to mitigate damages in any action,
proceeding, or counteraction by Lender to recover or seeking any other remedy
under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude Lender from subsequently
electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have agreed to the
alternative remedies hereinabove specified in part because they recognize that
the choice of remedies in the event of a failure hereunder will necessarily be
and should properly be a matter of business judgment, which the passage of time
and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize
recovery by Lender
-95-
96
at the lowest cost to Borrower and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the
parties that such choice by Lender be given conclusive effect regardless of such
subsequent developments.
3. Guarantor does hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this
Guaranty by Lender and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may
be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of
set-off or other claim which Guarantor may have against the Borrower or which
Guarantor or Borrower may have against Lender or the holder of the Note or the
holder of any Competitive Bid Loan Note (other than defenses relating to payment
of the Facility Indebtedness or the correctness of any allegation by Lender that
Borrower was in default in the performance of the Obligations), (iii)
presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in
Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in
Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in
collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required
to charge Guarantor with liability, (iv) any failure by Lender to inform
Guarantor of any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the
Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Revolving Credit Agreement, it
being understood and agreed that Lender has no duty so to inform and that the
Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by the Borrower
of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of
nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the
Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of the
Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect
thereto, or to cause Lender to proceed against any other security given to
Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations. Credit
may be granted or continued from time to time by Lender to Borrower without
notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other
condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. Lender
shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor its assessment of
the financial condition of Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges that no
representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by Lender to Guarantor. No
modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be
binding upon Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and
delivered on behalf of Lender. Guarantor further agrees that any exculpatory
language contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Note and any
Competitive Bid Loan Note shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not
prevent Lender from proceeding against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty.
4. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor's liability as guarantor
shall in nowise be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from
time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor of the time
for payment of interest or principal under the Note or any Competitive Bid Loan
Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under
the Note or any Competitive Bid Loan Note, or by any waiver by Lender under the
Revolving Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or by Lender's failure
or election not to pursue any other remedies it may have against Borrower, or by
any change or modification in the Note, Revolving Credit Agreement, any
Competitive Bid Loan Note or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by
Lender of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change
therein, or by the release by Lender of any security or any withdrawal thereof
or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source
to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even
though Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or
all of the Facility
-96-
97
Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as
principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the
Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms,
covenants and conditions of the Revolving Credit Agreement and other Loan
Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or
thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a
surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that Lender may at any time
enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify the Note, Revolving
Credit Agreement, any Competitive Bid Loan Note or other Loan Documents, or any
thereof, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of the Note, the
Revolving Credit Agreement, any Competitive Bid Loan Note and other Loan
Documents or any thereof, and, with reference to such instruments, may make and
enter into any such agreement or agreements as Lender and Borrower may deem
proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of
Lender's rights hereunder or any of the Guarantor's obligations hereunder.
5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing
guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that
this Guaranty may be enforced by Lender without the necessity at any time of
resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection
herewith or with the Note, any Competitive Bid Loan Note, the Revolving Credit
Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or resorting to any other
guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Lender to join
Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or
obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce
any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or
otherwise shall prevent Lender from pursuing concurrently or successively all
rights and remedies available to it at law and/or in equity or under the Note,
Revolving Credit Agreement, any Competitive Bid Loan Note or any other Loan
Documents, and the exercise of any of its rights or the completion of any of its
remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Guarantor's obligations
hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that the obligations
of such Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and
unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall
be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any
impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of
Borrower under the Note, Revolving Credit Agreement, any Competitive Bid Loan
Note or other Loan Documents or by reason of Borrower's bankruptcy or by reason
of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in
existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or
any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Note, Revolving Credit Agreement,
any Competitive Bid Loan Note or any other Loan Document is rescinded or
otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to Lender had not
been made, regardless of whether Lender contested the order requiring the return
of such payment. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.
6. This Guaranty shall be assignable by Lender to any assignee of all
or a portion of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents.
-97-
98
7. If: (i) this Guaranty, the Note, any Competitive Bid Loan Note, or
any other Loan Document is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or
is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to
represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other
proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this
Guaranty, the Note, any Competitive Bid Loan Note, the Revolving Credit
Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to provide advice
or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an
enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is
retained to represent Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in
connection with this Guaranty, the Note, any Competitive Bid Loan Note, the
Revolving Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property subject
thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or
participant against the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Revolving Credit
Agreement) alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the
Loan Documents), then Guarantor shall pay to Lender upon demand all reasonable
attorney's fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs,
filing fees, recording costs, expenses of foreclosure, title insurance premiums,
survey costs, minutes of foreclosure, and all other costs and expenses incurred
in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as "Enforcement
Costs"), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.
8. The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty
comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial
decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any
provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in
violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law,
administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should
declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal,
invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of
all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given
force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable,
that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal,
invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were
not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Lender
or the holder of the Note or any Competitive Bid Loan Note under the remainder
of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.
9. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing
is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Guarantor agrees that until
the entire Facility Indebtedness has been paid in full, (i) Guarantor will not
seek, accept, or retain for Guarantor's own account, any payment from Borrower
on account of such subordinated debt, and (ii) any such payments to Guarantor on
account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor
in trust for Lender and shall be paid over to Lender on account of the Facility
Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder.
10. Guarantor waives and releases any claim (within the meaning of 11
U.S.C. ss. 101) which Guarantor may have against Borrower arising from a payment
made by Guarantor under this Guaranty and agrees not to assert or take advantage
of any subrogation rights of Guarantor or Lender or any right of Guarantor or
Lender to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other
guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by
Lender for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the
Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from Borrower or any
-98-
99
other guarantor in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder. It is
expressly understood that the waivers and agreements of Guarantor set forth
above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to Lender for its
security and as an inducement for its extension of credit to Borrower. Nothing
contained in this Paragraph 10 is intended to prohibit Guarantor from making all
distributions to its constituent shareholders which are required by law from
time to time in order for Guarantor to maintain its status as a real estate
investment trust in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Code (as
defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement).
11. Any amounts received by Lender from any source on account of any
indebtedness may be applied by Lender toward the payment of such indebtedness,
and in such order of application, as Lender may from time to time elect.
12. The Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State
of Illinois for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal
rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce
this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby consents to the jurisdiction of either the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, or the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Illinois, in any action, suit, or proceeding which
Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any
related matter. Guarantor hereby agrees that an action, suit, or proceeding to
enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State
of Illinois and hereby waives any objection which Guarantor may have to the
laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court;
provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to
preclude Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other
appropriate forum.
13. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex
or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set
forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a
notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with
postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
This Assignment Agreement (this "Assignment Agreement") between
(the "Assignor") and (the "Assignee") is dated as of ,
20 . The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT. The Assignor is a party to an Amended and
Restated Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (which, as it may be amended,
modified, renewed or extended from time to time is herein called the "Credit
Agreement") described in Item 1 of Schedule 1 attached hereto ("Schedule 1").
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement.
2. ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to
the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor,
an interest in and to the Assignor's rights and obligations under the Credit
Agreement such that after giving effect to such assignment the Assignee shall
have purchased pursuant to this Assignment Agreement the percentage interest
specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 of all outstanding rights and obligations
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The aggregate
Commitment (or Loans, if the applicable Commitment has been terminated)
purchased by the Assignee hereunder is set forth in Item 4 of Schedule 1.
3. EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the
"Effective Date") shall be the later of the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule
1 or two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the
Administrative Agent) after a Notice of Assignment substantially in the form of
Exhibit "I" attached hereto has been delivered to the Agent. In no event will
the Effective Date occur if the payments required to be made by the Assignee to
the Assignor on the Effective Date under Sections 4 and 5 hereof are not made on
the proposed Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Assignor
and Assignee. The Assignor will notify the Assignee of the proposed Effective
Date no later than the Business Day prior to the proposed Effective Date. As of
the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the rights and obligations
assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) the Assignor shall relinquish its
rights and be released from its corresponding obligations under the Loan
Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee
hereunder.
4. PAYMENTS OBLIGATIONS. On and after the Effective Date, the Assignee
shall be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent all payments of
principal, interest and fees with respect to the interest assigned hereby. The
Assignee shall advance funds directly to the Administrative Agent with respect
to all Loans and reimbursement payments made on or after the Effective Date with
respect to the interest assigned hereby. [In consideration for the sale and
assignment of Loans hereunder, (i) the Assignee shall pay the Assignor, on the
Effective Date, an amount equal to the principal amount of the portion of all
Adjusted Prime Rate Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) with
respect to each ratable LIBOR Advance and Competitive Bid Loan made by the
Assignor and assigned to the Assignee hereunder which is
-115-
116
outstanding on the Effective Date, (a) on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor or (b) on such earlier date agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee
or (c) on the date on which any such Loan either becomes due (by acceleration or
otherwise) or is prepaid (the date as described in the foregoing clauses (a),
(b) or (c) being hereinafter referred to as the "Fixed Due Date"), the Assignee
shall pay the Assignor an amount equal to the principal amount of the portion of
such Loan assigned to the Assignee which is outstanding on the Fixed Due Date.
If the Assignor and the Assignee agree that the applicable Fixed Due Date for
such Loan shall be the Effective Date, they shall agree, solely for purposes of
dividing interest paid by the Borrower on such Loan, to an alternate interest
rate applicable to the portion of such Loan assigned hereunder for the period
from the Effective Date to the end of the related Interest Period (the "Agreed
Interest Rate") and any interest received by the Assignee in excess of the
Agreed Interest Rate, with respect to such Loan for such period, shall be
remitted to the Assignor. In the event a prepayment of any Loan which is
existing on the Effective Date and assigned by the Assignor to the Assignee
hereunder occurs after the Effective Date but before the applicable Fixed Due
Date, the Assignee shall remit to the Assignor any excess of the funding
indemnification amount paid by the Borrower under Section 4.4 of the Credit
Agreement an account of such prepayment with respect to the portion of such Loan
assigned to the Assignee hereunder over the amount which would have been paid if
such prepayment amount were calculated based on the Agreed Interest Rate and
only covered the portion of the Interest Period after the Effective Date. The
Assignee will promptly remit to the Assignor (i) the portion of any principal
payments assigned hereunder and received from the Administrative Agent with
respect to any such Loan prior to its Fixed Due Date and (ii) any amounts of
interest on Loans and fees received from the Administrative Agent which relate
to the portion of the Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder for periods prior
to the Effective Date, in the case of ratable Adjusted Prime Rate Loans or Fees,
or the Fixed Due Date, in the case of LIBOR Loans and Competitive Bid Loans, and
not previously paid by the Assignee to the Assignor.]* In the event that either
party hereto receives any payment to which the other party hereto is entitled
under this Assignment Agreement, then the party receiving such amount shall
promptly remit it to the other party hereto.
5. FEES PAYABLE BY THE ASSIGNEE. The Assignee shall pay to the Assignor
a fee on each day on which a payment of interest or Commitment Fees or Facility
Fees is made under the Credit Agreement with respect to the amounts assigned to
the Assignee hereunder (other than a payment of interest or Commitment Fees or
Facility Fees attributable to the period prior to the Effective Date or, in the
case of LIBOR Loans and Competitive Bid Loans, the Payment Date, which the
Assignee is obligated to deliver to the Assignor pursuant to Section 4 hereof).
The amount of such fee shall be the difference between (i) the interest or fee,
as applicable, paid with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee
hereunder and (ii) the interest or fee, as applicable, which would have been
paid with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee hereunder if each
interest rate was calculated at the rate of % rather than the actual
percentage used to calculate the interest rate paid by the Borrower or if the
Commitment Fee or Facility Fee was calculated at the rate of % rather than the
actual percentage used to calculate the Commitment Fee or Facility Fee paid by
the borrower, as applicable. In addition, the Assignee agrees to pay % of the
fee required to be paid to the Agent in connection with this Assignment
Agreement. [THIS SENTENCE CAN BE REVISED APPROPRIATELY BASED ON HOW THE FEE IS
BEING PAID.]
