                                    THE LOAN

 

         Section 2.01. Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,

and on the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants made herein

and in the other Loan Documents, each Lender severally agrees to advance its Pro

Rata Share of the Loan and Borrower will accept the Loan Amount in periodic

disbursements as hereinafter set forth and upon the satisfaction of the

conditions set forth in Article IV hereof.

 

        Section 2.02. Nature of Lenders' Obligations. The obligations of Lenders

under this Agreement are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the

failure of any other Lender to make any advance of the Loan to be made by such

other Lender. However, the failure of any Lender to make any advance of the Loan

to be made by it hereunder on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any

other Lender of its obligation to make any advance of its portion of the Loan

specified hereby to be made on such date.

 

        Section 2.03. Purpose. The Loan shall be made for the business purpose

of financing the Mortgaged Property. Borrower covenants and agrees that in no

event shall proceeds of the Loan, or any part thereof, be used, directly or

indirectly, for any other purpose, for any illegal purpose or for the purpose,

whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying "margin stock"

within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal

Reserve System, or in connection with any hostile acquisition or for any illegal

purpose.

 

        Section 2.04. Advances. The Initial Advance shall be in the amount of

$16,750,500 and shall be made upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in

Section 4.01. Subsequent advances shall be made no more frequently than once a

month thereafter, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.

In no event shall Lenders be obligated to make an advance hereunder if (i) the

Principal Amount of the Loan following such advance (the "Post Advance Amount")

would exceed 65% of the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property (the "Loan to

Value Test") as determined by an independent appraisal conducted at Borrower's

expense by an appraiser selected by Administrative Agent, which appraisal shall

be conclusive as to value absent manifest error, provided, however, that

Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for more than one (1) appraisal per any

twelve (12) consecutive month period so long as no Event of Default exists or

(ii) if Net Operating Income is not 130% or more of debt service on the Initial

Advance or the Post Advance Amount, as the case may be (the "DSC Test"). For

purposes of determining compliance with the DSC Test, Net Operating Income shall

be calculated on a semi-annual basis using six months' actual figures and the

projected figures for the next succeeding six months and debt service shall be

calculated using an interest rate equal to the greater of (a) the actual

interest rate; (b) the Treasury Rate plus 200 basis points or (c) an interest

rate equal to 8.0% and a (25) year equal payment self liquidating amortization

schedule. For purposes of determining compliance with the Loan to Value Test, a

new appraisal shall not be required for each advance provided the appraisal

required in connection therewith shall not be more than twelve (12) months old

 

                                        11

<PAGE>

 

and any required reappraisals shall be made at Borrower's expense, subject to

the limitation set forth in clause (i) above.

 

        Section 2.05. Procedure for Advance. Borrower shall submit to

Administrative Agent a request for the advance of proceeds of the Loan no later

than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date ten (10) Business Days, prior to the

date the advance is to be made. Administrative Agent, upon its receipt and

approval of the request for advance, will so notify all Lenders either by

telephone or by facsimile. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date

set for such advance, each Lender shall, through its Applicable Lending Office

and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount to be advanced

by it on such day available to Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent's

Office and in immediately available funds for the account of Borrower. The

amount so received by Administrative Agent shall, subject to the conditions of

this Agreement, be made available to Borrower, in immediately available funds,

by Administrative Agent's crediting an account of Borrower designated by

Borrower in its request for advance.

 

        Section 2.06. Notes. The Loan shall be evidenced by notes of Borrower in

the form of EXHIBIT D, duly completed and executed by Borrower (one for each

Lender in an amount equal to such Lender's Individual Loan Commitment, payable

for the account of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office), in an aggregate

principal amount equal to the Loan Amount (such notes, as the same may hereafter

be amended, modified, extended, severed, assigned, substituted, renewed or

restated from time to time (including, without limitation, any substitute notes

pursuant to Section 8.07), each, a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes"). The

Notes shall mature, and all outstanding principal and other sums thereunder

shall be paid in full, on the Maturity Date, as the same may be accelerated or

extended.

 

        In case of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Lender's

Note, Borrower shall, upon its receipt of an affidavit of an officer of such

Lender as to such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and an appropriate

indemnification, execute and deliver a replacement Note to such Lender in the

same principal amount and otherwise of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed

or mutilated Note.

 

        Section 2.07. Payments and Distributions. Borrower shall make each

payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 11:00 a.m. (New

York time) on the date when due to Administrative Agent at Administrative

Agent's Office in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent will

thereafter, on the day of its receipt of each such payment, cause to be

distributed to each Lender such Lender's appropriate share (based upon the

respective outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the respective rates

of interest thereunder) of the payments of principal and interest, and its

appropriate share of the payments of other sums, in like funds for the account

of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office. Payments by Borrower hereunder or

under the Notes or other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or

counterclaim.

 

        Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever any

payment to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes is due on any day

other

 

                                       12

<PAGE>

 

than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business

Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the

computation of the payment of interest and, if applicable, fees, as the case may

be.

 

        Each Lender's interest in the Loan shall be of equal priority with the

interest of each other Lender.

 

        Section 2.08. Interest. Borrower shall have the option, subject to the

terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, of paying interest on the

Principal Amount or portions thereof at the Prime Based Rate or the LIBO Based

Rate. If Borrower desires the application of the LIBO Based Rate, it shall

submit a LIBO Rate Request to Administrative Agent, which LIBO Rate Request

shall be irrevocable, subject to Borrower's right to convert the rate of

interest payable under the Notes with respect to any LIBOR Amount from the LIBO

Based Rate to the Prime Based Rate as provided in Section 2.10. Administrative

Agent shall, on the day of its receipt of the LIBO Rate Request from Borrower,

notify each Lender by either telephone or by facsimile of the specified LIBOR

Amount and the amount of the Lender's portion thereof, the Interest Period and

date of commencement thereof, and the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR

Amount. Each LIBO Rate Request shall be applicable to the Notes in accordance

with the Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares, so that, barring a conversion or

suspension of the LIBO Based Rate by one or more, but not all, Lenders, pursuant

to Article III, the outstanding principal amounts of each of the Notes shall

contain segments bearing interest at the Prime Based Rate and/or LIBO Based

Rate(s) under particular Interest Period(s), each of which segments shall

correspond to a proportional segment of the outstanding principal amount of

every other Note. In the event that Borrower fails to submit a LIBO Rate Request

with respect to a LIBOR Amount not later than 12 Noon (New York time) three (3)

Business Days prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, the LIBOR

Amount in question shall bear interest, commencing at the end of such Interest

Period, at the Prime Based Rate.

 

        Interest shall be computed on an actual/360-day basis (i.e., interest

for each day during which any portion of the Principal Amount is bearing

interest at a particular interest rate per annum shall be computed at such rate

divided by 360).

 

         Borrower shall pay interest on the Principal Amount to Administrative

Agent for the account of Lenders. Interest on the Principal Amount shall be

payable, in arrears, monthly on the first day of the first month following the

Initial Advance and on the first day of each month thereafter until the Notes

are repaid in full.

 

        Section 2.09. Limitation on Number of Interest Periods. Borrower shall

not have the right to have more than five (5) Interest Periods, in the

aggregate, in respect of the Loan in effect at any one time, whether or not any

portion of the Principal Amount is then bearing interest at the Prime Based

Rate.

 

        Section 2.10. Conversions of Interest Rate. Provided there exists no

Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to convert, from time to time,

the rate of interest payable under the Notes with respect to any portion of the

Principal Amount to the LIBO

 

                                       13

<PAGE>

 

Based Rate or the Prime Based Rate, subject to the terms of this Agreement

(including, without limitation, the payment of all amounts due in connection

with any such conversion from the LIBO Based Rate on a date other than the last

day of an applicable Interest Period) and provided that, in the case of a

conversion from the LIBO Based Rate, the entire LIBOR Amount is the subject of

the conversion. Conversions shall be accomplished (i) in the case of a

conversion from the Prime Based Rate to the LIBO Based Rate, by Borrower's

submission of a LIBO Rate Request in accordance with Section 2.08 or (ii) in the

case of a conversion from the LIBO Based Rate to the Prime Based Rate, by

Borrower's request to Administrative Agent by telephone (to be promptly

confirmed in writing), to be received by Administrative Agent at least three (3)

Business Days prior to the date specified for such conversion, specifying the

LIBOR Amount with respect to which the interest rate is to be converted and the

date of the conversion. On the date of its receipt of such request,

Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof either by telephone or by

facsimile.

 

        Section 2.11. Inapplicability of LIBO Based Rate. Any portion of the

Principal Amount to which the LIBO Based Rate is not or cannot pursuant to the

terms of this Agreement be applicable shall bear interest at the Prime Based

Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire Principal Amount

shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, immediately and without notice to

Borrower, bear interest at the Prime Based Rate. In addition, following the

occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have no right to submit a LIBO

Rate Request with respect to any LIBOR Amount for which the current Interest

Period is expiring. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed as a waiver

by Lenders of their right to pursue any other remedies available to them under

the Mortgage or any other Loan Document nor shall they be construed to limit in

any way the application of the Default Rate as provided in the Mortgage.

 

        Section 2.12. Late Payment Premium. Borrower shall pay to Administrative

Agent for the account of Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of 5% of

any payments of principal or interest under the Loan made more than ten (10)

days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with

any such late payment.

 

        Section 2.13. Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, upon at least fifteen

(15) Business Days' notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to Administrative

Agent, prepay the Principal Amount, in whole or part, without premium or

penalty; provided, however, that (i) any partial prepayment under this Section

shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and an integral

multiple of $100,000, (ii) prepayment of a LIBOR Amount other than on the last

day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to the provisions of

Section 3.03 and (iii) each prepayment under this Section shall include all

interest accrued on the amount of principal prepaid (and all late charges and

other sums that may be payable) through the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid

may not be reborrowed.

 

        Section 2.14. Annual Commitment Reduction/Required Amortization.

Commencing on the first day of June, 2005 and on the first day of each June

thereafter until the Maturity Date both the Loan Amount and the aggregate amount

of the Lender's Individual Loan Commitment shall reduce by the amount set forth

on Schedule A

 

                                       14

<PAGE>

 

attached hereto and, to the extent the Loan Amount as so reduced would exceed

the Principal Amount, Borrower shall, on the date of reduction make a mandatory

principal payment in the amount of such excess such that, at no time, shall the

Principal Amount exceed the Loan Amount as reduced from time to time. After any

release of a Property, in accordance with Section 8.18 or otherwise,

Administrative Agent shall recalculate the required annual amortization payments

due hereunder in accordance with a constant annual payment mortgage schedule

based on the Principal Amount at such time and an assumed interest rate of 8%

per annum, which would fully amortize over a term equal to (x) twenty-five (25)

years less (y) the number of full twelve (12) month periods elapsed since the

date hereof. Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with a schedule of such

recalculated amortization payment schedule upon request and such schedule shall

be final and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error.

 

                                   ARTICLE III

 

                              YIELD MAINTENANCE ETC.

 

        Section 3.01. Additional Costs and Other Effects of Regulatory Changes;

Taxes. Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender, promptly upon demand, such

amounts as are necessary to compensate such Lender for Additional Costs

resulting from any Regulatory Change which (i) subjects such Lender to any tax,

duty or other charge with respect to the Loan or its Note, or changes the basis

of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under the Loan or its Note

(other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or of its

Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's principal

office or such Applicable Lending Office is located), (ii) imposes, modifies or

deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating

to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other

liabilities of, such Lender, (iii) imposes on such Lender or, in the case of

LIBOR Amounts, on the London interbank market, any other condition affecting the

Loan or its Note, or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or (iv)

imposes any capital adequacy requirements on such Lender by virtue of the Loan

or the Notes. Such Lender will notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative

Agent) of any event occurring after the date hereof which would entitle it to

compensation pursuant to this paragraph as promptly as practicable after it

obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will

designate a different Applicable Lending Office for those portions of the Loan

affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce

the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Lender's sole opinion, be

disadvantageous to it, provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so

designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States.

 

        Without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding paragraph, in

the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, (i) a Lender incurs

Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of

the amount of (1) a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender

which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is determined as

provided in this Agreement and/or (2) a category of extensions of credit or

other assets of such Lender which includes loans the interest on

 

                                       15

<PAGE>

 

which is determined on the basis of rates referred to in the definition of "LIBO

Rate" in Section 1.01, (ii) a Lender becomes subject to restrictions on the

amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold or (iii) it

shall be unlawful or impossible for a Lender to make or maintain its Pro Rata

Share of the Loan (or any portion thereof) at the LIBO Based Rate, then such

Lender's obligation to make or maintain its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (or any

portion thereof) at the LIBO Based Rate (and Borrower's right to request the

same) shall be suspended and such Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower

(with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, upon the giving of such notice,

interest payable on the affected Note shall be converted to the Prime Based

Rate, unless such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its Pro Rata Share of

the Loan (or any portion thereof) then bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate

to the end of the current Interest Period(s), at which time the interest rate on

the affected Note shall convert to the Prime Based Rate. If subsequent to any

conversion to the Prime Based Rate as provided above such Lender determines that

such Regulatory Change has ceased to be in effect, such Lender will so notify

Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), and Borrower may convert the

rate of interest payable under the affected Note with respect to those portions

of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the Prime Based Rate to the LIBO

Based Rate by submitting a LIBO Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise

complying with the provisions of this Agreement with respect thereto.

 

        Determinations by each Lender of the existence or effect of any

Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining its Pro Rate Share of

the Loan, or portions thereof, at the LIBO Based Rate, or on amounts receivable

by it in respect thereof, and of the additional amounts required to compensate

such Lender in respect of Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, so long as made

on a reasonable basis.

 

        Section 3.02. Limitations on Availability of LIBO Based Rate. Anything

herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time of or prior to the

determination of the LIBO Based Rate in respect of any LIBO Rate Request Amount

as provided in this Agreement, (i) Administrative Agent determines (which

determination shall be conclusive, so long as made on a reasonable basis) that

by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally,

adequate and fair means do not or will not exist for determining the LIBO Rate

applicable to an Interest Period or (ii) a Lender determines (which

determination shall be conclusive, so long as made on a reasonable basis) that

the LIBO Rate will not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of making or

maintaining its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (or any portion thereof) at the LIBO

Based Rate, then Administrative Agent, in the case of the circumstances

described in clause (i) above, or such Lender, in the case of the circumstances

described in clause (ii) above, shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof (with

a copy to Administrative Agent in the case of the notice from such Lender), and

the LIBO Rate Request Amount in question, in the case of the circumstances

described in clause (i) above, or such Lender's portion thereof, in the case of

the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, shall bear interest, or

continue to bear interest, as the case may be, at the Prime Based Rate. If at

any time subsequent to Administrative Agent's or such Lender's giving of such

notice, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, determines that

because of a change in circumstances the LIBO Based Rate is again available to

Borrower, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall so

notify Borrower (with

 

                                       16

<PAGE>

 

a copy to Administrative Agent, in the case of the notice from such Lender) and

Borrower may convert the rate of interest payable under the Notes or such

Lender's Note, as the case may be, from the Prime Based Rate to the LIBO Based

Rate by submitting a LIBO Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise

complying with the provisions of this Agreement with respect thereto.

 

        Section 3.03. Certain Compensation. Borrower shall pay directly to a

Lender, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions

contained in the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the

judgment of such Lender (which shall be conclusive so long as made on a

reasonable basis), compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as

a result of (i) any payment or prepayment (under any circumstances whatsoever,

whether voluntary or involuntary) of any portion of the Principal Amount bearing

interest at the LIBO Based Rate on a date other than the last day of an

applicable Interest Period, (ii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever,

whether voluntary or involuntary) of the rate of interest payable under such

Lender's Note from the LIBO Based Rate to the Prime Based Rate with respect to

any portion of the Principal Amount then bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate

on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (iii) the

failure of all or a portion of an advance of the Loan which was to have borne

interest at the LIBO Based Rate pursuant to a LIBO Rate Request to be made, (iv)

any failure by Borrower to prepay any portion of the Principal Amount bearing

interest at the LIBO Based Rate on the date specified in Borrower's notice of

prepayment or (v) the failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert in

accordance with a LIBO Rate Request submitted by it, which amounts shall

include, without limitation, an amount equal the Present Value (determined as

hereinafter provided) of the dollar amount which is obtained by multiplying the

number of days from the date of the occurrence to the last day of the applicable

Interest Period by a number which is calculated by (i) multiplying the amount

prepaid, converted, not advanced, not prepaid or not borrowed, as the case may

be, by the excess of the LIBO Based Rate applicable thereto over the current

rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be

converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the last day of

the applicable Interest Period and (ii) dividing the product thereof by 360. For

purposes of this Section, Present Value shall be determined by using the number

of days during the period from the date of occurrence to and including the last

day of the applicable Interest Period and using the above-referenced United

States Treasury security rate. A determination by a Lender as to the amounts

payable to it pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest

error.

 

        Section 3.04. "Lender" to Include Participants. For purposes of this

Article III and of the definition of "Additional Costs" in Section 1.01, the

term "Lender" shall, at each Lender's option, be deemed to include such Lender's

present and future Participants in the Loan to the extent of each such

Participant's actual Additional Costs or other losses, costs or expenses payable

pursuant to this Article III.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

        Borrower and Guarantor represent and warrant to Administrative Agent and

Lenders that:

 

        Section 5.01. Due Formation, Power and Authority. If it, the mortgagor

or grantor under the Mortgage (if different from Borrower), Guarantor or any

general partner or member of any of them is a corporation, partnership, venture,

limited liability company or trust, each such entity is duly organized, validly

existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its

formation, is qualified to do business (if required) and is in good standing in

the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, and has full power and

authority to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to execute,

deliver and perform this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which it is a

party.

 

        Section 5.02. Legally Enforceable Agreements. Each Loan Document to

which Borrower or Guarantor is a party is a legal, valid and binding obligation

of such party, enforceable against Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, in

accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be

limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar Laws affecting

creditors' rights generally.

 

        Section 5.03. Financial Statements. Financial Statements have been

heretofore delivered to Lenders which are true, correct and current in all

respects and which fairly present the respective financial conditions of the

subjects thereof as of the respective dates thereof; no material adverse change

has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since the respective

dates thereof and no borrowings (other than the Loan) which might give rise to a

lien or claim against the Mortgaged Property or proceeds of the Loan have been

made by Borrower or others since the dates thereof.

 

        Section 5.04. Compliance With Laws; Payment of Taxes. Borrower and

Guarantor are in compliance with, and the transactions contemplated hereby and

by the other Loan Documents do not and will not violate any provision of, or

require any filing, registration, consent or approval under, any Law presently

in effect having applicability to Borrower or Guarantor; Borrower has filed all

tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed and has paid all

taxes, assessments and governmental charges and levies due and payable

(including those in respect of the Mortgaged Property), including interest and

penalties.

 

         Section 5.05. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings

pending or threatened against or affecting it, Guarantor, the Mortgaged

Property, the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage or the priority of the

lien thereof at law, in equity or before or by any Governmental Authorities

except actions, suits or proceedings which have been disclosed to Administrative

Agent and Lenders in writing and which are fully covered by insurance or would,

if adversely determined, not substantially impair the ability of Borrower or

Guarantor to pay when due any amounts which may become

 

                                       23

<PAGE>

 

payable under the Notes or Guaranty or to otherwise pay and perform their

respective obligations in connection with the Loan; to Borrower's knowledge,

neither it nor Guarantor is in default with respect to any order, writ,

injunction, decree or demand of any court or Governmental Authorities.

 

        Section 5.06. No Conflicts or Defaults. The consummation of the

transactions contemplated hereby and the performance hereof and of the other

Loan Documents have not resulted and will not result in any breach of, or

constitute a default under, any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, bank loan or

credit agreement, corporate charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or other

instrument to which Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which either of them

may be bound or affected.

 

        Section 5.07. Solvency. Borrower and Guarantor are, and upon

consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan

Documents and any other related documents, will be, solvent.

 

        Section 5.08. Governmental Regulation. Borrower is not subject to

regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any Law limiting its

ability to incur indebtedness for money borrowed as contemplated hereby.

 

        Section 5.09. Insurance. Borrower has in force, and has paid the

premiums in respect of, all of the insurance required by the Mortgage.

 

        Section 5.10. ERISA. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor nor any other

Person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any prohibited transaction (as

defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) which could subject

Borrower or Guarantor or any Person whom they have an obligation to indemnify to

any tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of

ERISA; neither Borrower nor Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains,

contributes to or has any liability with respect to a Multiemployer Plan or any

other plan subject to Title IV of ERISA; each Employee Benefit Plan is

administered in accordance with its terms and in compliance with all applicable

Laws, including any reporting requirements; each Pension Plan intending to

qualify under Section 401(a) or 401(k) of the Code does so qualify; there is no

lien outstanding or security interest given in connection with a Pension Plan;

neither Borrower nor Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability with

respect to an accumulated funding deficiency (whether or not waived) under

Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA; neither Borrower nor Guarantor

has any liability for retiree medical or death benefits (contingent or

otherwise) other than as required by Section 4980B of the Code; and no part of

the funds to be used by Borrower or Guarantor in satisfaction of their

respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents

constitute "plan assets" of any "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of

ERISA or of any "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, as

interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service and the United States Department of

Labor in rules, regulations, releases or bulletins or as interpreted under

applicable case law.

 

        Section 5.11. Other Documents. The Major Leases and Premises Documents

are unmodified and in full force and effect, there are no defaults (or events

which with

 

                                       24

<PAGE>

 

notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default) under

any thereof and all conditions to the effectiveness and continuing effectiveness

thereof required to be satisfied as of the date hereof have been satisfied.

 

        Section 5.12. No Defaults. There exists no Default or Event of Default.

 

        Section 5.13. Accuracy of Information; Full Disclosure. Neither this

Agreement nor any documents, financial statements, reports, notices, schedules,

certificates, statements or other writings furnished by or on behalf of Borrower

or Guarantor to Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or

the other Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated

hereby, or required herein or by the other Loan Documents to be furnished by or

on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, contains any untrue or misleading statement

of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements

herein or therein not misleading; there is no fact which Borrower has not

disclosed to Administrative Agent and Lenders in writing which materially

affects adversely nor, so far as Borrower can now foresee, will materially

affect adversely any of the Mortgaged Property or the business affairs or

financial condition of Borrower or Guarantor, or the ability o
