By delivery of the Notes, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the "Notes" described in the Amended Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness is instead allocated among the Banks as of the date hereof and evidenced by the Notes and their respective Commitment Percentages, and the Banks shall as of the date hereof make such adjustments to the outstanding loans of such Banks so that such outstanding Loans are consistent with their respective Commitment Percentages.

Each such notice shall also contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of Section 2.9), (ii) a certification by the chief financial or chief accounting officer of the General Partner that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Loan, (iii) a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under Section 6.4 or Section 7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of the Borrower to give effect to the proposed advance and incorporating the operating performance of any asset to be acquired, and (iv) the Guarantor's Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of Guarantor most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent pursuant to the Guaranty adjusted in the best good faith estimate of Guarantor to the date of the proposed advance. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Banks thereof. Except as provided in this Section 2.6, each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan requested from the Banks on the proposed Drawdown Date, provided that, in addition to the Borrower's other remedies against any Bank which fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Loan, such Loan Request may be revoked by the Borrower by notice received by the Agent no later than the Drawdown Date if any Bank fails to advance its proportionate share of the requested Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided further that the Borrower shall be liable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to any Bank which is prepared to advance its proportionate share of the requested Loan for any costs, expenses or damages incurred by such Bank as a result of the Borrower's election to revoke such Loan Request (the "Revocation Costs"). Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from -19-
EX-10.2925th Page of 114TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 25th
seeking recourse against any Bank that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Loan as required by this Agreement. The Borrower may, without any liability for the payment of the Revocation Costs or other cost or penalty, revoke a Loan Request by delivering notice thereof to each of the Banks no later than 3:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or (b) for a Eurodollar Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than five (5) Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding at any one time. Section 2.7. Funds for Loans. (a) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loans, each of the Banks 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 2.1. Upon receipt from each 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 such Loans made available to the Agent by the Banks by wire transfer in accordance with Borrower's instructions. The failure or refusal of any 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 to the extent it is obligated to fund such Loan hereunder shall not relieve any other 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, including any additional Loans that may be requested by the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Bank so failing or refusing, provided that the Borrower may by notice received by the Agent no later than the Drawdown Date refuse to accept any Loan which is not fully funded in accordance with the Borrower's Loan Request subject to the terms of Section 2.6 (except that such refusal shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay the Revocation Costs); provided further that no Bank shall be obligated to advance any amount in excess of the limits set forth in Section 2.1. 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 12.4. (b) Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Bank will not make available to Agent such Bank's pro rata share of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Bank has made such Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and 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. -20-

The Borrower shall cause all gross proceeds of each and every Debt Offering and Equity Offering, less all reasonable costs, fees, expenses, underwriting commissions, fees and discounts incurred in connection therewith, to be promptly paid by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of the Banks as a prepayment of the Loans to the extent of the outstanding balance of the Loans; provided that, subject to the limitations contained in Section 3.2(b) above, the Borrower shall not as a result of this Section 3.6 be required to reduce the principal balance of the Loans to less than $50,000,000.00.

Section 4.2. Closing Fee. (a) The Borrower had previously paid to BankBoston closing fees pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement Regarding Fees between the Borrower and BankBoston. BankBoston has paid to the Banks which are a party to the Amended Credit Agreement, a closing fee pursuant to their separate agreement. (b) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to BankBoston closing fees pursuant to an Agreement Regarding Fees among the Borrower and BankBoston.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Agent's fees, 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 3:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the day when due, in each case in immediately available funds. To the extent funds are available in such account, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower with BankBoston, 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 it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks or -24-
EX-10.2930th Page of 114TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 30th
(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 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. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine in the exercise of its good faith business judgment that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate 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 (a) any Loan Request with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans and (b) each Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines in the exercise of its good faith business judgment 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 Eurodollar Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert Loans of another type to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. -25-

Section 4.9. Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any present or future 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 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 or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits 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 -26-
EX-10.2932nd Page of 114TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 32nd
(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 thirty (30) days of 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this Section 4.9, to prepay the Loan of the applicable Bank within thirty (30) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this Section 4.9, provided, however, that the Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment of the Loan all other costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under Section 4.8 of this Agreement as a result of such prepayment, and following such prepayment, the Total Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of the Loan so prepaid, and the Commitment Percentages of the remaining Banks shall be adjusted based on the percentage that each Bank's Commitment bears to the adjusted Total Commitment. Section 4.10. Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Bank reasonably 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 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 -27-
EX-10.2933rd Page of 114TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 33rd
amount setting forth the 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 Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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 Loan Request or a Conversion Request (excluding, however, any Loan Request that pursuant to Section 2.6 may be revoked without penalty and the deemed withdrawal of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 4.6), or (c) default by the Borrower in making the payments or performing its obligations under Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12 or 4.13. Section 4.12. Interest on Overdue Amounts; Late Charge. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4.0%) above the Base Rate until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if such rate shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3%) 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 within ten days of the date when due. Section 4.13. Certificate. A certificate, prepared in good faith by a Bank consistent with such Bank's practice in calculating such amounts, 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, 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 and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or -28-

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 (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 5. COLLATERAL SECURITY AND GUARANTY. Section 5.1. Security.

be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other Obligations described in this subsection (b), and (iii) Obligations owing to the Banks with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, shall be made among the Banks pro rata; and provided further that the Majority Banks may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and (c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto. Section 13. SETOFF. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch of where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any of the Banks to the Borrower or the Guarantor and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantor in the possession of such Bank may be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower to such Bank. Each of the Banks agrees with each other Bank that if such Bank shall receive from the Borrower or the Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Banks with respect to the Notes held by all of the Banks, such Bank will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Section 14. THE AGENT. Section 14.1. Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Banks and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Bank or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Banks pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. -64-

Section 14.2. Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower. Section 14.3. No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. Section 14.4. No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Guarantor, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any other of the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Banks, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Guarantor. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Section 14.5. Payments. (a) A payment by the Borrower or the Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Bank not later than one Business Day after the -65-
EX-10.2971st Page of 114TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 71st
Agent's receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent's customary practices, such Bank's pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Banks except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. (b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or (ii) to comply with the provisions of Section 13 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Banks, where such Bank's share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Banks, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a "Delinquent Bank") and shall be deemed a Delinquent Bank until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower and the Guarantor, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Banks in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Banks or as a result of other payments by the Delinquent Banks to the nondelinquent Banks, the Banks' respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. Section 14.6. Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of Article 18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee. -66-

Section 14.7. Indemnity. The Banks ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by Section 15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent's actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence. Section 14.8. Agent as Bank. In its individual capacity, BankBoston shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent. Section 14.9. Resignation. Subject to the terms of Section 18.1, the Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 calendar days' prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Banks, subject to the terms of Section 18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Bank or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than "A" or its equivalent by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or not less than "A" or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's corporation and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank whose debt obligations are rated not less than "A" or its equivalent by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or not less than "A" or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's Corporation and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. After any retiring Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent. Section 14.10. Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, if (a) so requested by the Majority Banks and (b) the Banks have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have. The Majority Banks may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Banks hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the -67-

Except as provided herein, each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it, and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent shall have given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Bank or to a wholly-owned subsidiary of such Bank provided that such assignee shall remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of such Bank), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined), a notice of such assignment, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any voting, consent or approval rights of a Bank be assigned to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower, any of its general partners, the Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries, which rights shall instead be allocated pro rata among the other remaining Banks, (e) such assignee shall have a net worth as of the date of such assignment of not less than $500,000,000 unless such requirement is waived in writing by the Borrower and the Agent, (f) such assignment is subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement among the Banks and the Agent, and (g) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $10,000,000.00.

A failure to accept such offer within such period shall be deemed a rejection of such offer. NationsBank shall have a period of fifteen (15) calendar days following the acceptance by the Majority Banks of BankBoston's offer to resign within which to elect to replace BankBoston as Agent (provided, however, that the option of NationsBank to replace BankBoston as Agent shall be null and void in the event that NationsBank has at such time, without regard to any assignment to be made by BankBoston, a Commitment which is not greater than or equal to the Commitment of each other Bank other than BankBoston or in the event that within such thirty (30) calendar day period the Majority Banks do not approve NationsBank so acting as Agent).

Except with respect to the rights of NationsBank as provided above to succeed BankBoston as Agent, each Agent, as a condition to any resignation of its position as Agent shall be required to provide written notice thereof to the other Banks and provide the Majority Banks an opportunity to designate a successor Agent within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of such notice in the same manner as provided above.

Within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such assignee pursuant to such assignment and, if the assigning Bank has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder, and shall cause the Guarantor to deliver to the Agent an acknowledgment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent to the effect that the Guaranty extends to and is applicable to each new Note. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such assignment and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower. Section 18.4. Participations. Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Bank hereunder to the Borrower, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (c) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, any of its general partners, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries except the rights granted to the Banks pursuant to Section 13, (d) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (e) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower, any of its general partners, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. Payments hereunder shall be made to BankBoston, N.A., as Agent for the payee hereof, 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. This Note is one of one or more Notes evidencing borrowings under and is entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or in part prior to the maturity date stated above and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Credit Agreement, and may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Note 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, 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
EX-10.2996th Page of 114TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 96th
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 and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, 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 (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 paragraph shall control all agreements between the Borrower and the Banks and the Agent. In case an Event of Default shall occur, the entire principal amount of this Note may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in said Credit Agreement. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules of any jurisdiction). The undersigned maker and all guarantors and endorsers, hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as specifically otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, and assent to extensions of time of payment or forbearance or other indulgence without notice. This Note is a note executed in amendment and restatement in part of the "Notes" as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.
