SECTION 2.6. FUNDS FOR LOANS.
(a) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed
Drawdown Date of any Term Loans, each of the Term Loan Banks, as
applicable,
will make available to the Agent, at the Agent's Head Office, in
immediately
available funds, the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of
the amount
of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to Section
2.2. Upon
receipt from each such Bank of such amount, and upon receipt of the
documents
required by Section 10 and Section 11 and the satisfaction of the
other
conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent
will make
available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of Term Loans, made
available to
the Agent by the Term Loan Banks, by crediting such amount to the
account of the
Borrower maintained at the Agent's Head Office or by transferring
such amount to
an account designated by Borrower. The failure or refusal of any
Term Loan Bank
to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on
any Drawdown
Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans
shall not
relieve any other Term Loan Bank from its several obligation
hereunder to make
available to the Agent the amount of such other Bank's Commitment
Percentage of
any requested Loans. In the event of any such failure or refusal,
the Banks not
so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority position as
against the
Bank or Banks so failing or refusing for such Loans as provided in
Section 12.5.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to
the
applicable Drawdown Date that such Bank will not make available to
the Agent
such Bank's pro rata share of a proposed Loan, the Agent may in its
discretion
assume that such Bank has made such share of the proposed Loan
available to
Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Agent may, if
it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan
available to
Borrower, and such Bank shall be liable to the Agent for the amount
of such
advance. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount upon
the Agent's
demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and
the Borrower
shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The
Agent shall also
be entitled to recover from the Bank or the Borrower, as the case
may be,
interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from
the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the
Borrower to the date
such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum
rate equal to
(i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii)
from a Bank
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

SECTION 2.9. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
SECTION 2.10. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
SECTION 2.11. EVIDENCE OF DEBT. The indebtedness of the Borrower
resulting
from the Loans made by each Bank from time to time shall be
evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Bank and the Agent in
the ordinary
course of business, including, without limitation, the amounts of
principal and
interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time
13
<PAGE>
hereunder. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent and the
Banks to
make, or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown
Date of any Loan
or at the time of receipt of any payment thereof, an appropriate
notation on
Agent's and the Bank's records reflecting the making of such Loan
or (as the
case may be) the receipt of such payment. The Agent shall maintain
accounts or
records in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall
record: (i) the
date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of Loan
and, if
appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
from the
Borrower to each Bank hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the
Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Bank's share thereof.
The accounts or
records maintained by the Agent and each Bank shall be prima facie
evidence of
the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein and
shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by
the Banks to
the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to
so record or
any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
the
obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, to
pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any
conflict
between the accounts and records maintained by any Bank and the
accounts and
records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower
agrees that
upon the request of any Bank made through the Agent (whether for
purposes of
pledge, enforcement or otherwise), the Borrower shall promptly
execute and
deliver to such Bank (through the Agent) a Term Loan Note, as
applicable,
payable to the order of such Bank, which shall evidence such Bank's
Loans in
addition to such accounts or records. Each Bank may attach
schedules to its
Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount
and maturity of
its Loans and payments with respect thereto. All references to
Notes in the Loan
Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued
hereunder.
SECTION 3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.
SECTION 3.1. STATED MATURITY. The Borrower promises to pay on the
Term Loan
Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on
the Term Loan
Maturity Date all of the Term Loans Outstanding on such date,
together with any
and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
SECTION 3.2. MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. If at any time (a) the
Unsecured Term
Loan Agreement is terminated, or (b) all of the "Revolving Credit
Commitments"
(as defined in the Unsecured Term Loan Agreement) are terminated,
then in any of
such events the Commitment under this Agreement shall terminate and
the Borrower
shall immediately pay to Agent on behalf of the Banks all
principal, interest
and other amounts due and payable under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.3. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower shall have the
right, at
its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the applicable
Loans, as a
whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided,
that if any
full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR
Rate Loan is
made other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating
thereto, such
prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due
pursuant to
Section 4.8. The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00
a.m.,
Cleveland time, at least five (5) Business Days' prior written
notice of any
prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3, in each case specifying
the proposed
date of payment of Loans and the principal amount to be paid.
14
<PAGE>
SECTION 3.4. PARTIAL PREPAYMENTS. Each partial prepayment of the
Loans
under Section 3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000, shall
be accompanied
by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the
date of
payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, to
the principal
of the Term Loans, and within each category, first to the principal
of the Base
Rate Loans and then to the principal of the LIBOR Rate Loans.
SECTION 3.5. EFFECT OF PREPAYMENTS. Any portion of the Term Loans
that is
prepaid may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
SECTION 4.1. CONVERSION OPTIONS.
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of
its
outstanding Term Loans to a Term Loan of another Type and such Term
Loan shall
thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan,
as
applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion
of a LIBOR
Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at
least one
(1) Business Day's prior written notice of such election, and such
conversion
shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with
respect to such
LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base
Rate Loan to
a LIBOR Rate Loan the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three
(3) LIBOR
Business Days' prior written notice of such election and the
Interest Period
requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so
converted shall be
in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple
of $100,000 in
excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan
there shall
be no more than four (4) Term LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any
one time; and
(iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any
Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the
outstanding
Term Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein,
provided that no
partial conversion shall result in a Term Base Rate Loan in an
aggregate
principal amount of less than $500,000 or a Term LIBOR Rate Loan in
an aggregate
principal amount of less than $500,000 and that the aggregate
principal amount
of each Loan shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. On the
date on which
such conversion is being made, each Bank shall take such action as
is necessary
to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic
Lending
Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each
Conversion Request
relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan
shall be
irrevocable by the Borrower.
(b) Any Term Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration
of
an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the
Borrower with the
terms of Section 4.1(a); provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be
continued as
such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, but
shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last
day of the
Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of
any Default or
Event of Default.
(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of
its
election hereunder with respect to any Loan to it, such Loan shall
be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the
applicable
Interest Period.

SECTION 4.2. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
SECTION 4.3. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
SECTION 4.4. FUNDS FOR PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments
of principal, interest, closing fees and any other
amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents
shall be made to
the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Banks and the Agent,
as the case
may be, at the Agent's Head Office, not later than 1:00 p.m.
(Cleveland time) on
the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States
in
immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to
charge the
accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank designated by the Borrower,
on the dates
when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the
amounts of the
principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges,
expenses and other
amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Banks under the Loan
Documents.
(b)
All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the
other
Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
free and clear
of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees,
deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or
conditions of any
nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or
any political
subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the
Borrower is
compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such
obligation
is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by
them
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower
will pay to the
Agent, for the account of the Banks or (as the case may be) the
Agent, on the
date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under
such other Loan
Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary
to enable the
Banks or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Banks
or the Agent
would have received on such due date had no such obligation been
imposed upon
the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent
certificates or
other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from
or paid with
respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such
other Loan
Document.
(c) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the
United States shall provide the Borrower with such duly executed
form(s) or
statement(s) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law
and, which,
pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty
between the United
States and the country of residence of such Bank, (ii) the Code, or
(iii) any
applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above,
indicates the
withholding status of such Bank; provided that nothing herein
(including without
limitation the failure or inability to provide such form or
statement) shall
relieve the Borrower of its obligations under Section 4.4(b). Each
Bank shall
deliver photocopies of such forms or other appropriate
certifications on or
before the date that any such form shall expire or become obsolete
and after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
delivered to
the Borrower for the Agent. Any Bank which sells a participation in
any of its
Commitments shall be required to obtain such forms from any
participant, and
shall be required to withhold any amounts from such participant as
required by
the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto.
16
<PAGE>
SECTION 4.5. COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interest on the
Loans and of
other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day
year and paid
for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided
in the
definition of the term "Interest Period" with respect to LIBOR Rate
Loans,
whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents becomes
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such
payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall
accrue during
such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on
the records
of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie
evidence of such
amount.
SECTION 4.6. SUSPENSION OF LIBOR RATE LOANS. In the event that,
prior to
the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate
Loan, the
Agent shall reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable
methods do not
exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or
the Agent
shall reasonably determine that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately
and fairly
reflect the cost to the Banks of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate
Loans for such
Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such
determination
(which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the
Banks) to the
Borrower and the Banks. In such event each LIBOR Rate Loan will
automatically,
on the last day of the then current Interest Period thereof, become
a Base Rate
Loan, and the obligations of the Banks to make LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be
suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving
rise to such
suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the
Borrower and
the Banks.
SECTION 4.7. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provisions
herein, if
any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the
interpretation
or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank
or other
governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Bank or its LIBOR
Lending
Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Bank to make or
maintain LIBOR
Rate Loans, such Bank shall forthwith give notice of such
circumstances to the
Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the
Banks to make
LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Loans of another type to LIBOR Rate
Loans shall
forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then
outstanding shall be
converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each
Interest
Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier
period as may
be required by law.
SECTION 4.8. ADDITIONAL INTEREST. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any
portion
thereof is repaid, or converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason
on a date
which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to
such LIBOR
Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as
provided in
Section 12.1, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for
the account of
the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages, in
addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder,
any amounts
required to compensate the Banks for any losses, costs or expenses
which may
reasonably be incurred as a result of such payment, reapportionment
or
conversion.
SECTION 4.9. ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the
contrary, if any present or future applicable law, or any amendment
or
modification of present applicable law, which expression, as used
herein,
includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and legally
binding
interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any
governmental or other
regulatory body or official with appropriate jurisdiction charged
with the
administration or the
17
<PAGE>
interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and
notices at any
time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued
to any Bank or
the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other
authority
(whether or not having the force of law), shall:
(a) subject any Bank or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost,
duty,
charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to
this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Bank's Commitment the
Loans (other
than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits or gross
receipts of
such Bank or the Agent), or
(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes
in
taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Bank of the
principal of or the
interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Bank
under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special
deposit,
reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar
requirements
(whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or
deposits in
or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of
any Bank, or
(d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other conditions or
requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, the
Loans, such Bank's Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments
of which any
of the Loans or such Bank's Commitment forms a part; and the result
of any of
the foregoing is
(i) to increase the cost to any Bank of making, funding,
issuing,
renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Bank's
Commitment,
or
(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other
amount
payable to such Bank or the Agent hereunder on account of such
Bank's Commitment
or any of the Loans, or
(iii) to require such Bank or the Agent to make any payment or
to
forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of
which payment
or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the
gross amount
of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Bank or the Agent
from the
Borrower hereunder,
then, and in each such case, the Borrower will within fifteen (15)
days after
demand made by such Bank or (as the case may be) the Agent at any
time and from
time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay
to such Bank
or the Agent such additional amounts as such Bank or the Agent
shall determine
in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Agent
for such
additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other
sum. Each Bank
and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable
averaging and
attribution methods, generally applied by such Bank or the
Agent.
SECTION 4.10. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If after the date hereof any
Bank
determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule,
regulation or
guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding
companies or
any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any
governmental
authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b)
compliance by such
Bank or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request
or directive
of any such
18
<PAGE>
entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law), has
the effect of reducing the return on such Bank's or such holding
company's
capital as a consequence of such Bank's commitment to make Loans
hereunder to a
level below that which such Bank or holding company could have
achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Bank's or
such holding company's then existing policies with respect to
capital adequacy
and assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by any
amount deemed
by such Bank to be material, then such Bank may notify the Borrower
thereof. The
Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank the amount of such reduction in
the return
on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon
presentation by such
Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth such Bank's
calculation
thereof. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any
reasonable averaging
and attribution methods.
SECTION 4.11. INDEMNITY OF BORROWER. The Borrower agrees to
indemnify each
Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss, cost
or expense
that such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default
by the
Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on
any LIBOR Rate
Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or
expense arising
from interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds
obtained by it in
order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by the
Borrower in making
a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given (or is
deemed to have
given) a Conversion Request.
SECTION 4.12. INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS; LATE CHARGE. Overdue
principal
on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or
under any of the
other Loan Documents (other than interest on the Loans) shall,
following the
expiration of any applicable cure period expressly provided for in
this
Agreement, bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum
equal to two
percent (2.0%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable at
such time
until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before
judgment).
Overdue interest on the Loans shall, following the expiration of
any applicable
cure period expressly provided for in this Agreement, bear interest
payable on
demand at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) a per annum rate equal
to two
percent (2.0%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable at
such time or
(ii) the maximum annual rate of interest permitted by applicable
law until such
amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment),
provided that
in no event shall such rate exceed ten percent (10%) per annum. In
addition, the
Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to four percent (4.0%) of
any amount of
interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts
payable
hereunder or under the Loan Documents, which is not paid by the
Borrower within
fifteen (15) days after the same shall become due and payable.
SECTION 4.13. CERTIFICATE. A certificate setting forth any amounts
payable
pursuant to Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10, Section 4.11 or
Section 4.12
and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by
any Bank or
the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.
SECTION 4.14. LIMITATION ON INTEREST. Notwithstanding anything in
this
Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between the Borrower and
the Banks and
the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether
written or
oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by
reason of
acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or
otherwise, shall the
interest contracted for, charged or received by the Banks exceed
the maximum
amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance
whatsoever,
19
<PAGE>
interest would otherwise be payable to the Banks in excess of the
maximum lawful
amount, the interest payable to the Banks shall be reduced to the
maximum amount
permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the
Banks shall
ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in
excess of
the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive
interest shall be
applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the
Obligations of the
Borrower and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive
interest exceeds
the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the Borrower,
such excess
shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to
be paid to the
Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in
full of the
principal of the Obligations of the Borrower (including the period
of any
renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such
full period
shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
This section
shall control all agreements between the Borrower and the Banks and
the Agent.
SECTION 4.15. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
SECTION 5. UNSECURED OBLIGATION; GUARANTY.
SECTION 5.1. COLLATERAL. The Banks have agreed to make the Loans to
the
Borrower for the account of Borrower on an unsecured basis.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the
terms of the
Guaranty.
SECTION 5.2. NEW GUARANTORS.
(a) Requirement to Become Guarantor. In the event that any
Wholly
Owned Subsidiary of Borrower or the Trust, whether presently
existing or
hereafter formed or acquired, which is not a Guarantor at such
time, shall own
or be the lessee under a Ground Lease of an Unencumbered Borrowing
Base Property
(as defined in the Unsecured Master Loan Agreement) or otherwise
have a
leasehold or other interest in an Unencumbered Borrowing Base
Property (as
defined in the Unsecured Master Loan Agreement), then Borrower
shall cause such
Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Agent each of the
following items, each
in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent: (i) a Joinder
Agreement and
(ii) the items that would have been delivered under Section 10.2
through Section
10.5 if such Subsidiary had been a Guarantor as of the date hereof.
The
organizational agreements of each such Subsidiary created after the
Closing Date
shall specifically authorize each such Subsidiary to guarantee the
Obligations.
(b) Release of a Guarantor. The Borrower may request in writing
that
the Agent release, and upon receipt of such request the Agent shall
release
(subject to the terms hereof), a Guarantor from the Guaranty so
long as: (i) no
Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would
occur as a
result of such release; (ii) the Agent shall have received such
written request
at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested date of
release; (iii)
Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Agent either
that (A) the Trust and/or the Borrower has disposed of or
simultaneously with
such release will dispose of its entire interest in such Guarantor
or that all
of the assets of such Guarantor will be disposed of in compliance
with the terms
of this Agreement, and if such transaction involves the disposition
by such

pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the
